On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 562
It has been a few days since Dulan Khan came to Jinyang. He asked the little emperor Yang Hao to enter the court early on, not to meet the emperor, but to appear at the abdication ceremony as a foreign guest.

In the third year of Zhenyuan, on New Year's Eve, Dulan Khan was invited to Yanwang Mansion.

It was dusk at this time, and Jinyang was chilly after the snow, but this was not a big problem for Dulan Khan who was used to the grassland climate.

It can even be said that being able to see Cui Che, who was dressed in black fur, greeted him at the gate of the mansion, made Dulan Khan feel a warm feeling in his heart.

"Your Majesty welcomes you from far away, Xiao Khan is ashamed to do so."

Dulan Khan saluted respectfully.

It has been nearly a year since Cui Che placed him in Monan, and at the beginning, Dulan Khan still had some thoughts of his own.

But as the construction of the Shuozhou Palace was in full swing, and more than [-] Tiele people were also domesticated by Wei Zheng, Dulan Khan finally woke up. The model of the Shuozhou Palace can be copied. Grasslands form a virtual control.

But what can he do if he is aware of Cui Che's ambition? Facing Qimin Khan's persecution, he can only rely on Cui Che's breath to ensure that he will not be swallowed by Qimin Khan.

Compared to being Cui Che's dog, or being eaten by Qimin until there was nothing left, Dulan Khan chose the former after all, so he brought only a few hundred Khan guards to Jinyang. Show your sincerity to Cui Che.

Cui Che undoubtedly felt Dulan Khan's sincerity, that's why he came out of the house to welcome him.

"Khan doesn't need to be too polite. You and I have made an oath twice, and we are as close as blood brothers, so why bother to be polite."

Cui Che helped Dulan Khan up, and the two entered the door hand in hand.

During the banquet, Cui Che and Dulan Khan talked about their old relationship and had a good time over wine.

After drinking for three rounds, Cui Che didn't stop until Yang Lihua came forward and persuaded Cui Che to have a grand ceremony tomorrow.

Dulan Khan left Yanwang Mansion, got into the carriage, and the carriage drove slowly, while Dulan Khan was dozing in the carriage.

His thoughts diverged, and he remembered that 20 years ago, Mohe Khan died in the battle of the royal court of the Western Turks when the coalition forces went west.

Khan succession was originally a matter within the Eastern Turks, but Cui Che, as the commander of the coalition army, relied on his prestige in the army, and helped himself to the position of Great Khan on the way to the division.

This move aroused dissatisfaction with Rangan, the son of Mohe Khan, who is now Qimin Khan, and this led to the division of Eastern Turks today.

It also really made Dulan Khan realize Cui Che's ambition.

The ownership of the Great Khan of the Turkic Khanate can be determined in one word. After experiencing such a scene, how could he not covet the throne.

Dulan Khan thought that Cui Che would be an important turning point in the Sui Dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline. Although he admired Cui Che, he didn't think that Cui Che in Yandi would be able to contend against the huge Sui Dynasty.

But the reality is often unexpected. Yang Liang rebelled and led Hedong's elite soldiers into the customs, which enabled Cui Che to devour Hebei without any scruples, and then annexed Hedong in the name of saving Yang Liang, quickly laying the foundation for hegemony.

Even until Cui Che seized the entire Kanto, Dulan Khan still fought inseparably with Qimin Khan on the grassland.

"Khan, I've arrived at the Yanran Hall."

The confidant outside the carriage reminded.

Cui Che previously set up the Siyi Pavilion in Jinyang to accommodate visitors from all over the world.

In today's Siyi Pavilion, only the Jinling Pavilion, which accommodates people from the south, is neglected in front of the gate, and the other three pavilions can be said to be full of guests. Some even sent envoys to Jinyang after learning that Cui Che sent troops to Guanlong, such as Kumoxi and Khitan, and even Goguryeo.

They understand Cui Che's ambition and know Cui Che's ability.

It is believed that Cui Che will be able to unify the north, and he will follow the example of those powerful ministers in history, proclaiming himself emperor and establishing a country

The fact is just as they expected.

The envoy of Goguryeo was named Yuan Taizuo, a lord in the east, the son of Molizhi (Prime Minister) Yuanziyou.

Currently living in Fusokan.

Yuan Tae-jo had dealt with Cui Che on the battlefield. When Cui Che wanted to conquer Khitan, Yuan Tae-jo followed Eulji Mun-deok to lead the rescue.

Ulji Mundeok was defeated and wanted to commit suicide, but Yuan Taejo persuaded him.

It's just that when Cui Che attacked Liaodong, Eulji Wende was defeated and died.

During his mission to Jinyang this time, Yuan Taizuo did not go through the Monan Grassland, but passed through Liaodong, Liaoxi, and the hinterland of Hebei to Hedong.

He failed to go to Henan, but just seeing the richness and prosperity of Hebei and the hinterland of Hedong made him feel powerless deep in his heart.

Yuan Taizuo remembered that Cui Che, who competed with Goguryeo for Liaodong, could only mobilize the power of the seven states of You, Yan, Heng, Ping, Yi, Xuan, and Ying.

Now that Cui Che is sitting on the entire north, Yuan Taizuo can't bear to resist.

No wonder before leaving, his father Yuan Ziyou told him:
'Measure the material power of Goguryeo, and win the favor of King Yan. '

When Cui Che was busy in the civil war, there were two reasons why Goguryeo did not invade Liaodong on a large scale.

One is the personal tendency of Yuan Ziyou, the figure in power.

Yuan Ziyou came to power, and Cui Che indirectly made great efforts, although this was not Cui Che's original intention.

As we all know, Goguryeo has four masters outside the central government.

Cui Che attacked Liaodong, and the northern lord led the troops to rescue the western lord. Both of them suffered heavy losses on the Liaodong battlefield. Cui Che beat them to pieces, and their strength was seriously damaged.

The southern powers have been in a slump since they lost the Han River Basin half a century ago.

Therefore, the strength of the East stands out among the four, and is the most of the four.

At the beginning of Cui Che's army, the west and north of Goguryeo were still licking their wounds, unable to launch a large-scale offensive against Liaodong.

By the time they took a breather, Cui Che had already swept across Kanto like a storm.

At this time, Yuan Ziyou, who was the master of the east and also served as Mo Lizhi, maintained his rationality and advocated friendship with Cui Che, instead of sending troops to recover Liaodong while Cui Che was marching west.

After all, Cui Che still deployed [-] defenders in Liaodong, not to mention whether Khitan and Kumoxi would respond to the Liaodong defender's call for help and intervene.

Even if Liaodong is really captured, with the existence of Liaoze Land, it will be difficult to enter Liaoxi.

Once Cui Che turns around, no matter how Goguryeo resists, it is bound to be retaliated by Cui Che.

Today's Goguryeo can no longer afford Cui Che's anger.

And this is also related to the second reason: the threat of Silla in the south of the peninsula.

Since the emergence of the Hwarang system in Silla, it was used to train nobles and ensure the source of soldiers, laying the foundation for a strong national power.

The so-called Hwarang is an organization of young people of the aristocratic class. It organizes the children of the aristocrats to practice martial arts together, instill feudal morality and publicize the spirit of patriotism, and cultivate loyal and patriotic warriors who are brave and tenacious.

And half a century ago, Silla teamed up with Baekje to seize the upper reaches of the Han River from Goguryeo, backstabbed its ally Baekje, beheaded the king of Baekje, and seized the lower reaches of the Han River. .
