On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 539
Li Yuan really didn't expect that he still had his share.

But just as everyone was vying for, Li Yuan did not reject Cui Che's kindness, after all, anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was a good job.

There are many paper balls in the box. Cui Che stated in advance that only one paper ball has the word 'Long' written on it, and the rest are all Chinese characters.

Cui Che asked everyone to go forward to take it, while the unqualified junior generals, partial generals, Xu Shiji and other aides, eldest grandson Wuji and other relatives could only watch enviously from the sidelines.

However, Cheng Yaojin, Dou Jiande and others opened the paper balls one by one, but they could only sigh helplessly.

Cheng Yaojin brazenly begged Cui Che to give him another chance, but Cui Che gave him a stare back.

There is no sympathy between Weng and son-in-law.

When Li Yuan pulled out a ball of paper and opened it to see that it was a word 'Long', the surprised expression on his face also attracted Li Shimin's attention.

Cui Che has always allowed the teenagers he valued to watch the military discussions, but they are not allowed to express their opinions.

Li Shimin was one of them, he asked pleasantly:
"But father got the character 'Long'?"

Li Shimin only hated that he was too young to make contributions early, so he also hoped that Li Yuan could make more contributions to Cui Che, instead of relying on Li Xiuning's father's identity to gain a firm foothold.

Li Yuan nodded to Li Shimin with a smile, and said:
"Just a fluke."

As he spoke, he handed the crumpled white paper to Cui Che, and there was indeed a word 'Long' written on it.

Cui Che was a little surprised: this Li Yuan is indeed the person favored by the fate of the original time and space, even his luck is much better than others.

Of course, since he had said something first, Cui Che would naturally not regret it. He held up the white paper with the character 'Long' on it, showed it to everyone, and then ordered:

"Duke Tang, the lone general went up to play the Son of Heaven, and took him as the general commander of the Longyou Dao army. He led the soldiers of Qi (Fufeng County) and Qin (Tianshui County) to collect Longyou.

"The Son of Heaven is far away in Jinyang, you can take up this post first, and an edict will be issued soon."

Li Yuan excitedly said:

"The minister takes orders!"

Li Yuan felt that the position of Chief of the Longyou Road Army was enough to show Cui Che's trust in his father-in-law.

But he didn't know that after Li Yuan took over Longyou, Cui Che would conscript him into the imperial court as an official in the name of reward.

No matter what, Cui Che didn't dare to keep Li Yuan out of town.

As the night darkened, Cui Che retreated from the crowd, leaving Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his son alone. He reminded Li Yuan in front of Li Shimin:

"Earlier, Qiu He, governor of Qinzhou, contacted the prefects of the Longyou counties for me. Everyone was on the sidelines. Only the prefect of Zhangye, Yin Shishi, killed the messenger.

"This person is stubborn, please be careful, Mr. Taishan, and don't fall for his plan to feign surrender."

Li Yuan answered yes again and again.

Li Shimin asked to go with his father, but before Cui Che expressed his opinion, Li Shimin was reprimanded by Li Yuan, telling him to stay by Cui Che's side to serve him.

Cui Che also laughed and said:

"Ah Feng is young now, so there is no need to rush to make meritorious deeds. In the future, I will be useful when Ah Feng is alone."

Li Shimin was overjoyed, so he no longer insisted on going with Li Yuan.

It is already the first ten days of August, and there is not long time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Li Yuan is destined not to stay in Yong County for the festival.

Li Yuan hoped to capture Longyou for Cui Che before the severe winter in November.

On August 608th in the third year of Zhenyuan (AD 1), after more than [-] government soldiers in Qizhou had assembled one after another, Li Yuan bid farewell to Cui Che.

Cui Che sent Li Yuan out of the city, and presented him with a bowl of water and wine. Apart from the generals in the army and Cui Che's staff, they were also Li Yuan's family members.

Those who followed Li Yuan were his eldest son-in-law Feng Shaoshi and his second son-in-law Dou Dan.

Feng Shaoshi came from the Jingzhao Feng family and was designated by Li Yuan as the commander of the marching army.

Dou Dan is the nephew of the Dou family, and his father is Chen Guogong Dou Kang, who is Yang Jian's nephew.

When Yang Liang raised his army, Dou Kang received a letter from Yang Liang, but he did not take the initiative to inform Yang Guang, so he was suspected afterwards and was dismissed from office at home.

When Yang Guang moved south, Dou Kang did not accompany him, but lived in Qizhou where his father-in-law Li Yuan lived.

Dou Kang also submitted a letter of recommendation to Cui Che before, but it didn't attract Cui Che's attention.

After Li Yuan left, Cui Che did not leave Yong County in a hurry, but waited for Qin Qiong's army to join up, and spent a Mid-Autumn Festival with his mother-in-law Dou in Yong County by the way.

On August [-]th, all the civilian husbands recruited in Hedong had been sent home and devoted themselves to the autumn harvest.

And Qin Qiong also led an army of [-] to Yong County.

After a short rest, Cui Che left Li Xiuning and Li Shimin to serve the Dou family in Yong County, while he himself led the army westward to Sanguan. Apart from a group of staff and personal followers, there was also the Gao family. , Avalokitesvara maidservant mother and daughter.

Sanguan is also an important pass in Guanzhong. It used to be the pass of the Sanguo in the Western Zhou Dynasty, so it got its name.

It is located at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, where Guanzhong, Longyou, and Hanzhong meet. It is the throat of north-south traffic.

When Yu Wenshu fled to Hanchuan, he left his cronies to guard the pass.

But Sanguan has been a fortress defending the pass since ancient times, and the defense facilities on the east side of the pass are far inferior to those on the west side.

Otherwise, once Sanguan is captured by Longyou, it will not become a fortress to block Guanzhong.

Just like Gao Huan, a power official in the Northern Wei Dynasty, chased Emperor Xiaowu Yuanxiu, but failed to recover the emperor as he wished, leaving soldiers and horses to guard Tongguan, but was easily attacked by Yu Wentai from the west.

However, if Gao Huan wanted to attack Tongguan from the east, it would be extremely difficult.

This point was not only clear to Cui Che, but also to the generals guarding the pass, including Yu Wenshu who was far away in Hanchuan.

Even if it has been ordered to intensify the construction of the east defense, how useful can it be in such a short period of time.

Cui Che came to the east of Sanguan, and lined up in the east of Sanguan, showing off his might.

On the same day, under the supervision of Cui Che, more than [-] Eastern Sui soldiers attacked Sanguan.

The weak east defense of Sanguan could not stop the soldiers of the Eastern Sui Dynasty who were encouraged by Cui Che's presence on the front line to supervise the battle.

They risked their lives, attached themselves to the city walls, fought bloody battles with the enemy, and captured Sanguan in just one day.

Cui Che entered Guancheng and was about to report victory to Jinyang, when the Jinyang court's rewards for Cui Che's collection of Guanzhong and Tianshui had already been delivered.

Under the repeated requests of his courtiers, the young emperor Yang Hao issued a decree to add special gifts to Cui Che and give him nine tins, so that he would not go to the court, praise him without being famous, and go to the palace with his sword. '

Cui Che naturally refused to accept the edict. He was very angry about this, and he jumped up and said to everyone:

"Since Wei Taizu Cao Cao, those who have given special gifts and bestowed nine tins are not traitors and traitors.

"The Son of Heaven must have been deceived by others to have this edict!

"There are traitors and sycophants in the court, who insist on being alone in infidelity and unrighteousness! Be reviled by all ages!"
