On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 569
It's just that the reunited old friends had no time to reminisce about the past. After the reception banquet, Mai Tiezhang was anxious for Zhao Wen to send an order to the captains of the various states, asking them to mobilize local soldiers to join him along the way.

Zhao Wen came in such a hurry, and it was precisely for this matter that he asked his entourage to send documents to the states, and said to Mai Tiezhang earnestly:
"Mr. Su, this battle is the first battle since the founding of the Yan Kingdom. The crowd will overwhelm the few, and there is no guarantee of victory but defeat. Mr. Su must not take it lightly and make the same mistake again."

Zhao Wen glanced around, saw that Li Shimin was not around, and there were no other outsiders, so he continued:

"Repeat Li Yuan's mistakes."

After all, the two looked at each other and smiled.

In fact, most of the generals under Cui Che's command looked down on Li Yuan. After all, Li Yuan's death was aggrieved, and it was the first defeat for a general under Cui Che's command since Cui Che started his army.

Previously, Su Dingfang and Yuchi Jingde were ambushed by the Qimin tribe. Although they suffered heavy losses, they were able to turn defeat into victory. Su Dingfang even killed the son of Qimin Khan.

When Zhao Wen first came to Tianshui, Mai Tiezhang welcomed him into the city, but the next day, he sent Mai Tiezhang out of the city.

Mai Tiezhang believed that the weather had warmed up and the military situation was urgent, so he needed to send troops immediately. Zhao Wen naturally had no objection to this. Mai Tiezhang had been in Tianshui for several months and he must know the specific situation better than himself.

On February 609th, the first year of Kaiping (AD [-]), in the early morning, under the gaze of Zhao Wen, Mai Tiezhang led the Qinzhou government soldiers to the north.

Xue Ju, captain of the Lanzhou school, was already gearing up and waiting for a long time.

Jincheng County has now been renamed Lanzhou, but what remains unchanged is Xue's influence in the area.

Before Xue Ju followed Li Yuan to attack Zhangye, the Jincheng government soldiers who ascended first suffered heavy losses because of the sudden retreat of Mingjin.

But after learning early that Mai Tiezhang will be the main general in this battle, Xue Ju rekindled his fighting spirit.

As we all know, Mai Tiezhang is the favorite general of the emperor, and it was because of his recommendation that Yuchi Jingde was over-promoted by Cui Che.

Who doesn't want to be the second Yuchi Jingde, especially Xue Ju, who claims to be brave and good at fighting, and is not weaker than others, so he wants to take this opportunity to be appreciated by Mai Tiezhang.

For this reason, he even recruited his 16-year-old son Xue Rengao into the army.

In fact, Xue Ju didn't know that Cui Che had already caught his eye, and it wasn't because of his heroic performance when he besieged Zhangye City for the first time.

Instead, he created the original time and space, the only defeat in Li Shimin's military career, and it was a disastrous defeat.

When the Tang Dynasty was first established, Xue Ju led the army to invade, and Li Shimin was the marshal of the march, commanding eight generals, and [-] elites went to fight.

According to historical records, Li Shimin had a sudden malaria and was bedridden. He could only hand over military affairs to Chief History Liu Wenjing and Sima Yin Kaishan. As a result, the two did not listen to Li Shimin's warning and attacked rashly, leading to the defeat of the Tang army in Qianshuiyuan.

Of the 2 elites, fifty-six out of ten died, and the loss exceeded [-].

But Li Shimin, who was originally sick, healed miraculously, and hurried back to Chang'an.

However, Xue Ju also used up his luck in this battle. When he was about to take advantage of the victory to attack Chang'an, he fell ill and died.

Even though it is clearly recorded in the history books that it was the fault of Yin Kaishan and Liu Wenjing, it does not prevent many people from juxtaposing the Battle of Qianshuiyuan with the Weishui Alliance as a great shame in Li Shimin's life.

Of course, these two shames were washed away by him in the end.

But for Emperor Dayan who paid close attention to Li Shimin, how could he forget Xue Ju.

Mai Tiezhang led the troops to the north, and soldiers from various states along the way joined them one after another.

Xue Ju, Xue Rengao and his son also quickly attracted Mai Tiezhang's attention.

This time to conquer Zhangye again, it is impossible for Mai Tiezhang not to understand the specific process of Li Yuan's conquest of Zhangye. Naturally, he also knows that Xue Ju is a brave general.

Although Xue Ju's son Xue Rengao is only 16 years old, he is tall and majestic, and his bravery is better than his father, and he enjoys a high reputation in Lanzhou.

After sending warriors in the army to test Xue Rengao's skills, Mai Tiezhang couldn't help but praise:

"Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs."

Compared with Li Shimin's precocious and almost monstrous young man, Mai Tiezhang still prefers a warrior like Xue Rengao.

Xue Rengao had won a battle just now, and it was the time when the young man was at his peak. After being praised by Mai Tiezhang, he took a provocative look at Li Shimin who was not far away.

This Tang Guogong who inherited his father's title at the age of 11 without any meritorious deeds is indeed enough to cause hatred.

Li Shimin didn't pay attention to Xue Rengao, although he didn't know why he hated the father and son, but his mother Dou's careful teaching gave him the education that a noble son should have.

After praising Xue Rengao, Mai Tiezhang looked at Lanzhou Captain Xue Ju who had recently joined him:
"The old man has long heard that Colonel Xue is brave enough to win the battle in Longyou. I don't know if he is still willing to take the lead for me in this battle?"

Xue Ju came for Mai Tiezhang this time, how could he refuse, he immediately responded:
"Stick what you want, don't dare to ask for it!
"The last general followed the former Tang Duke to crusade against the Yin Shishi. The first Tang Duke broke his halberd under the city of Zhangye. The last general hated it deeply and thought about it day and night. He wanted to capture Zhangye to comfort the former Tang Duke's spirit in heaven."

Mai Tiezhang laughed and said:

"Sure enough, he is a kind and righteous person."

Li Shimin on the side knew that Xue Ju's words were not from the bottom of his heart, but he felt warm in his heart.

He joined the army this time, not even removing his filial piety, but determined to avenge his father.

While Mai Tiezhang gathered soldiers from various states and continued to march towards Zhangye, Yang Guang, who was far in the south, also learned the news of Cui Che's founding of the country.

Not only did he yell at Cui Che as a national traitor, Yang Liang, Yang Hao and his son were even expelled from the imperial family by Yang Guang.

Yang Guang believed that it was Yang Liang and his brothers who gave Cui Che the chance to rise.

Although he did not recognize Yang Hao's position as the son of heaven and denounced him as a false emperor, he also had great dissatisfaction with Yang Haochan's position in Cui Che.

In any case, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two monarchs in the country. Naturally, Yang Guang could not turn a blind eye to Cui Che's act of proclaiming himself emperor. He ordered the mobilization of Huainan, Handong, Xiangyang and other prefectural soldiers.

But after all, it is only limited to small-scale frictions on the border.

At this moment, under the persuasion of trusted ministers such as Su Wei and Yu Wenshu, Yang Guang maintained his rationality, and decided not to cross the Hebei Expedition without sufficient preparation.

As expected before, Yu Wenshu had been restored to the title by Yang Guang after the beginning of spring, and he and Su Wei were elected together to select talents.

Yu Wenshu was reused in Jiangdu, but his son Yuwen Shiji, who stayed in Shu, had secretly contacted the spies of the Yan Dynasty, and sent a letter of surrender to Cui Che, expressing in the letter that he was willing to serve Cui Che Internal response.

Just like Pei Yun, the imperial censor of the Sui Dynasty, and Nanchen back then.
