On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 621 Distorting the Facts

Chapter 621 Distorting the Facts
When Cui Che received Feng Deyi's letter of surrender on his way back to the army, Feng Deyi had already followed Yu Shiji back to Jiankang.

"Your Majesty, is there any fraud in this?"

Changsun Wuji reminded.

Cui Che shook his head and said with a smile:

"My cousin is used to riding on the wall to watch the wind. Now I am in the north and share the danger of the Yangtze River with the Sui Dynasty.

"Don't worry, Feng Deyi came to vote sincerely."

In fact, if Feng Deyi didn't come to him, Cui Che would take the initiative to send someone to contact him secretly soon.

Feng Deyi was a figure who could repeatedly jump between Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin and his son, and deceived the Li family and his son. He was not exposed until 17 years after his death, which made Li Shimin furious and wanted to seize the gift. Changed his posthumous title to Miao.

Even if such a person is allowed to dance on the wire, even Li Shimin will be kept in the dark and unable to see his loyalty. Could it be that he can't hide it from Yang Guang.

Feng Deyi was different from Yuwen Shiji. He was in the court, and because he was a confidant of Yu Shiji, he knew the secrets of the court.

In the past, Cui Che had to rely on Yuwenshi who was far away in Shu and through family letters to provide him with insinuations. The news was sent from Jiankang to Chengdu, and then transferred from Chengdu to Luoyang, so there was no timeliness.

Now that Feng Deyi is here, any major decisions within the Sui Dynasty can be sent to Luoyang as soon as possible and presented on Cui Che's desk, achieving one-way transparency.

Cui Che was in a good mood after putting away the secret message.

Feng Deyi also mentioned in the secret letter that Yang Guang was mobilizing troops in an attempt to launch a counterattack and recapture Jiangling when Cui Che captured Shu.

Cui Che then changed his plan and planned to stay in Jiangling City for a while, in case the Sui army would attack after he returned north.

As long as he personally took charge of Jiangling and news of the fall of Shu reached Jiankang, Yang Guang would not dare to invade the country.

The army continued eastward, but Cui Che had just left the Three Gorges by boat and was going down the river when he encountered the second group of messengers from Dou Jiande.

Cui Che stood on the deck and read the secret letter, his expression solemn and silent for a long time.

The generals thought there was some bad news on the front line, and they couldn't help but get worried.

Yuwen Shiji was even more uneasy. He knew that by now, Jiankang must have known about his surrender to Yan.

Sure enough, Cui Che looked at Yuwen Shiji, handed him the letter, and said softly:

"Please also express condolences."

When Yu Wenshiji heard these words, he almost fainted. He took the letter tremblingly and learned that his brother had conspired to cause rebellion, so that the whole family was killed. Even his father suffered the disaster and was allowed to die at home.

He cried loudly, and was so heartbroken that he passed out.

Cui Che ordered people to call the imperial doctor urgently and carry Yu Wenshiji to the cabin to take care of him.

After the generals retired, Cui Youzhi said doubtfully:

"Grandfather, if he really cared about his family, how could he ignore them and submit to Dayan.

"But since he has given up on his family, why is he still so sad today?"

Cui Che stroked Cui Youzhi's head and said:
"He must cry this time and show it to the world."

After that, Cui Che stopped explaining, leaving only Cui Youzhi who seemed to understand.

The fleet comes out of the Three Gorges, and the water is very fast. It can be said that it travels thousands of miles in a day.

When Yu Wenshiji woke up, he was already in Jiangling.

He learned from his confidants that Cui Che had issued an edict to disclose Yuwen's righteous deeds, and claimed that Yuwenshi and Jiangyan, as well as Yuwenwenji, Yuwenzhi and the conspirator to kill Yang Guang, were all arranged by Yuwenshu.Cui Che posthumously named Yu Wenshu the Duke of Chu. Yu Wenhuaji and Yuwen Zhiji also had their own awards. He also made Yu Wenshu the Duke of Chu, inheriting Yu Wenshu's title.

When Yu Wenshiji found out about this, he was very excited.

He was helped by others and rushed to Cui Che's residence, kowtowed and thanked him. He was so excited that he couldn't help himself and burst into tears in public.

What Yu Wenshiji was grateful for was not Cui Che's reward for giving him the title of Duke. In fact, with Yu Wenshiji's achievements, it was a certainty that he would return to Luoyang and be granted the title of Duke.

In this southern expedition, Yu Wenshi was the chief contributor to the capture of Shu. Not to mention how many messages he had conveyed to Cui Che over the years, he also provided defense plans for Jiangling and surrounding areas, and also donated [-] yuan to Cui Che. Xiangyang Navy.

This kind of meritorious deeds will not be able to convince people if they are not granted the title of Duke.

What really moved Yu Wenshiji was that in the edict, Cui Che linked Yu Wenshi and his betrayal to Yan with Yu Wenhuaji, Yuwenzhi and his conspiracy, and described these two things as Yuwen's The family must respond internally and externally and act together.

And all of this came from Yu Wenshu's instruction.

With this change, Yuwen Shiji no longer has to bear the reputation of being disobedient and unfilial and be scorned by the world.

How could Yu Wenshiji not be grateful to Cui Che?

Cui Che helped Yu Wenshiji up and said seriously:
"How can I let a meritorious person be stigmatized? I have already issued an edict to use the land of Jingxiang and Changsha and Baling in Jingnan as Shannan Road. I want to use the Qing family as the supervisor of Shannan Road. The Qing family can Are you interested?"

Yu Wenshiji said excitedly:

"Your Majesty is so kind to me, and I think hard about repaying you day and night, so how can I dare to refuse?"

Cui Che nodded slightly when he heard this.

Shannan Road is located on the front line of the Yan and Sui Dynasties. Although the position of supervisor does not hold military power, not everyone can hold it.

Yuwen Shiji's intelligence and knowledge need not be described in detail. His father was ordered to commit suicide by Yang Guang, and his brother was beheaded. It can be said that he and Yang Guang had a blood feud.

Yang Guang hated him so much that he almost wanted to eat his flesh alive.

Since Cui Che is a scholar and is in charge of Shannan Road, supervising officials, there is no need to worry about his loyalty.

Of course, the ones who really want to guard Jiangling must be his own generals.

Cui Che took Nanjun as Jingzhou and appointed Qin Qiong, the governor of Liangzhou, as the governor of Jingzhou. He reorganized the Jiangling Navy based on the previous [-] Jiangling Navy soldiers and [-] Nanyang Navy troops.

As for Liangzhou, there is no longer a governor who is in charge of the military and administration of a state, but a governor to govern Liangzhou.

Qin Qiong was unable to come to Jiangling for a while, so Li Xiaogong, Sima of Jingzhou, took charge of the matter for the time being.

When the [-] Xiangyang navy surrendered, Cui Che did not break his promise. After seizing Shu and no longer needing to keep it secret, he asked Qu Tutong to take him to Xiangyang and put him in charge of Cheng Yaojin, the governor of Xiangzhou.

Cui Che ordered Cheng Yaojin to revive the morale of the Xiangyang navy.

Of course, since it is a naval force, ships are indispensable, and building warships cannot be completed in a hurry.

Cui Che could only mobilize the ships from Sichuan to the east and assemble them for the naval forces in Jiangling and Xiangyang.

As for the Shu navy, it could only be temporarily abandoned, and its officers and soldiers moved their families to Jingxiang as a backup.

Cui Che's arrangements in Jingzhou did not stop there. He designated Changsha County as Xiangzhou and Baling County as Yuezhou. He appointed Xu Shiji as the governor of Xiangzhou, led the military of Xiangzhou and Yuezhou, and entrusted Jingnan to him.

Xu Shiji even deliberately left the country and crossed the river to the north to meet Cui Che.
