Chapter 532
Murong Fuyun was not overwhelmed by anger, seeing that the situation was irreversible, he fled the camp forcefully under the persuasion of the kings.

And these Tuyuhun defeated soldiers who were frightened and escaped by chance could not regain their combat effectiveness in a short time.

At least until Cui Che ended the battle of Guanlong, it was difficult for them to threaten Longyou.

The war subsided, and Sunrise also climbed Longshan.

Under the first ray of morning light, the camp of Tuyuhun was still billowing with black smoke.

The cavalrymen of the Eastern Sui Dynasty who set the fire before were directing the captives to put out the open flames, and finally they did not burn the entire camp to nothing.

The various seizures are already being counted, but Cui Che has observed some with his own eyes, and the harvest in this battle is not rich.

Although Murong Fuyun, Khan of Tuyuhun, conquered the land himself, he did not exert all his strength. In the north of Tuyuhun, there is still a powerful Tiele tribe eyeing them.

Sure enough, the result was exactly as Cui Che had expected. In this raid, the Yan army confiscated tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and other livestock, but captured and beheaded less than [-].

Of course, this is also related to the battle last night, which was not aimed at killing.

When the cavalry broke into the camp, the first task was to set fire and create a disturbance.

The second task is to disperse the enemy forces and prevent them from gathering.

The cavalry generals who were ordered to attack the camp all fulfilled Cui Che's request brilliantly.

As soon as Qiu He finished the battle outside the city, he led more than a hundred cavalry out of the city to meet Cui Che.

Cui Che didn't see Gao Shilian in the crowd, so he couldn't help feeling tense, and asked:

"Where is Gao Shilian? Could it be that he has died?"

Qiu He hurriedly explained:
"Gao Changshi is currently in the city, but he just felt ashamed to meet King Yan, so he never came to greet him."

When Cui Che heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

It is true that Cui Che was dissatisfied when Gao Shilian abandoned himself, but when he was recruited into the screen, he was originally forced by himself, and he did not sincerely serve him.

When Gao Shilian left at the beginning, it was not to seek a high position and rich salary, and to vote for a new master, but to live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain to avoid disaster.

Cui Che has long been relieved of what happened back then.

Not to mention that they married Gao Shilian's younger sister now, and the two have a relationship.

Knowing that Gao Shilian is still alive and well, Cui Che is not in a hurry to see him.

Cui Che got off the horse, helped Qiu He up who was kneeling under the horse, and said with emotion:
"Gu Ke has heard the name of Duke Qiu for a long time, and hates seeing each other late.

"Qiu Gong has been through the prefectures and counties, and he has written about Huizheng, lenient and not disturbing.

"Nowadays, in the face of foreign enemies, they are even more indomitable and protect the environment and the people. This is an example for local officials to emulate."

These words made Qiu He's heart full of passion, and a feeling of dying for a confidant emerged spontaneously.

"Your Majesty, this is the seal of the prefect of Tianshui and the account book of Tianshui County. Please review it, Your Majesty."

Qiu He offered the seal and account book with both hands, but Cui Che refused to accept it. He pushed the seal and account book back to Qiu He, and said solemnly:

"Now that the situation in Guanzhong is not clear, I can't stay in Longyou for a long time. Please, Lord Qiu, continue to guard Tianshui for me."

Qiu He said in astonishment:
"Qiu is just a surrender, An dare to take on this important task."

Cui Che said seriously:
"Mr. Qiu must be humble. In the future, he will collect Guanlong and use it alone. Now that Tianshui is here, Mr. Qiu will take care of it."

So Qiu He no longer refused, he kowtowed excitedly and said:

"Your Majesty loves you deeply, Qiu Mou feels deeply, and is willing to do his best for His Majesty, to do what a dog can do."

Cui Che clapped his hands and said with a smile:

"I don't like to get Tianshui, and getting Qiu Gong is the biggest gain of this trip!"

After communicating outside the city for a long time, it was not until Cui Che's soldiers had taken over the city defense and completely controlled Tianshui City that Cui Che and Qiu He entered the city hand in hand.

The carriage was naturally prepared by Qiu He.

And Li Xiuning still pretended to be a soldier, following around the car.

What Cui Che saw along the way were all traces of war.

The houses around the city wall have been demolished, obviously because they were worried that the enemy's arrows would ignite the houses and cause a fire.

Before the siege of Tuyuhun, many people who temporarily fled to Tianshui were homeless and could only use the sky as their quilt and the earth as their bed.

Cui Che, the King of Yan, led the troops to rescue Tianshui, and the news that the Tuyuhun people had been driven away had already spread throughout the city.

When the hungry people heard the news, they flocked to block the road, begging Cui Che for some food.

Cui Che couldn't help weeping in public when he saw the emaciated people. He stood on the carriage and shouted to the people:
"Everyone in Tianshui, Cui is late!

"Right now, there is no food in the city, but Cui is determined to rescue Tianshui, abandoning his luggage, and rushing lightly, so there is not much food left in the army."

Just when the people were disappointed, Cui Che said again:

"However, when I expelled the Tuyuhun people, I captured a lot of livestock. I only kept some of them for military supplies, and transported all the rest to the city to eat with the people!"

When the people of Tianshui heard this, they all cheered and shouted "Long live King Yan".

Qiu He on the side also complimented:
"Your Majesty ran thousands of miles to rescue the soldiers and civilians of Tianshui, and now he even uses meat to eat them. How dare the people of Tianshui forget your lord's kindness!"

Cui Che waved his hand and said to Qiu He:

"This matter will be troublesome to Mr. Qiu. Remember not to overeat when you are hungry for a long time. Don't let good things go to waste."

Qiu and Lian Lian agreed that their favorability for the new master had already been fully charged.

Cui Che first went to the prefect's mansion and wrote a memorial, requesting that Tianshui County be changed to Qinzhou, and that Qiu He be the governor of Qinzhou to the Jinyang court.

Immediately after that, all the aftermath of the war was handed over to Qiu He. Before leaving the county guard's mansion, Cui Che ordered Li Xiaogong to lead a team of cavalry soldiers to Qingshui County to transport food to relieve the urgent need of Tianshui.

He knew that Li Xiaogong had formed a friendship with Zhang Lun, the magistrate of Qingshui County, and it was most suitable for him to go to this matter.

Li Xiaogong was ordered to leave, Cui Che watched him go, and asked Qiu He to prepare a residence for him, and sent someone to send Li Xiuning to rest, and then let a small official of the county guard's mansion lead the way to visit Gao Shilian's mansion.

Gao Shilian felt ashamed to face Cui Che, but he also knew that Cui Che would definitely come to the door when he entered the city.

After all, Gao's mother is still at the residence, and Cui Che, the son-in-law, has to visit his mother-in-law no matter what.

Therefore, Gao Shilian had already greeted him outside the gate of the mansion in advance.

Cui Che traveled far away in a carriage, and the carriage heard of it when he was in front of Gao Shilian. Before Gao Shilian could see him, Cui Che got up and said with a smile:

"Gu thought my brother-in-law would avoid me!"

Gao Shilian bent down and said:
"The sinner once deserted the king, so he did not dare to see the king again.

"It's just that the sinner knows that the king's loyalty and filial piety are the first, so he will visit the sinner's mother in the house.

"Sinners are already guilty of the king, so how dare they be negligent."

Cui Che got off the carriage, helped Gao Shilian up, and said indifferently:

"My brother-in-law and I are relatives now, why bother to bring up the old matter again.

"Brother-in-law left me at the beginning, just to protect himself, and never reported to the court, so why did he say he failed me?"
