Chapter 91 Battle Plan
At the end of March in the third year of Emperor Kaihuang (583), all 7 Sui troops assembled in Shuozhou, and Yang Shuang sent his troops northward, heading straight to Wuchuan, to meet the main force of the Turks who were still outside Daqing Mountain.

Wuchuan is one of the six towns in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Together with Huaishuo Town on the west side, it gave birth to many heroes of Xianbei, such as Gao Huan, Yu Wentai, He Bayue and others, leading the northern situation for more than half a century.

All the troops in Shuozhou left the station one by one. Cui Che led the army and went with Li Chong. Along the way, he asked him about the art of war, and he also paid attention to Li Chong's experience and methods of leading the army.

For example, how to choose a site to set up camp, how many scouts to send when marching, and so on.

For Cui Che, witnessing how Li Chong leads the army in person is far better than staying in the back and studying military books.

In nearly half a month since leaving Mayi, Shuozhou, Cui Che almost squeezed out Li Chong, a veteran general. The two are both teachers and friends, and their relationship has become closer.

Until April [-]th, the Sui army arrived in Baidao and met the main force of the Turks, and the two sides camped and faced each other twenty miles apart.

Baidao got its name because of the white-gray soil. It is located in the majestic Daqing Mountains.

"Zhou and Qi are fighting each other, and the Central Plains are in conflict. Every time the Turks invade the frontier, they are unwilling to fight with them. They compete to bribe the enemy. Therefore, the Turks have the heart to despise China. Now they are taking pictures of the soldiers from the east. They must be unprepared. Fine cavalry attacking them will definitely defeat the enemy!"

At the military meeting, Li Chong got up and talked eloquently, offering advice to Yang Shuang.

But no one echoed this proposal, and the generals whispered to each other, mostly skeptical.

As a miscellaneous general, Cui Che was originally not qualified to participate in this military discussion, but his special status was not a secret in the military camp, and Yang Shuang also looked at him differently, and he was always called to account for every meeting.

In the past, Cui Che seldom spoke, but focused on listening. But today, when Li Chong needed support most, Cui Che no longer remained silent. He got up and said passionately:

"Che has a saying, Shetu relies on the strength of the army and has a heart of contempt for me. It is better for the army to retreat tomorrow to show the enemy's weakness, and make Shetu slack, thinking that we are weak, and then do what General Manager Li said that night. , Attack the camp with fine cavalry, you can win a big victory!
"Che thinks that if you are prepared, you will be unprepared. Although the enemy is numerous, I have the advantage!"

Hearing this, Li Chong gave Cui Che a grateful look. Although Cui Che was soft-spoken, he finally had a voice of support.

With the first supporter, the second supporter also stood up. Marshal Shi Liche originally agreed with Li Chong's strategy of attacking the enemy with fine cavalry. The 7 Sui army really may not be able to touch the Turkic main force of more than [-].

And after listening to Cui Che's supplement, it is worth a try to further paralyze the picture taking with the help of the strategy of avoiding the situation.

Before Yang Shuang left Beijing, his brother Yang Jian had carefully told him to follow the advice of Li Chong and Li Che humbly. To Li Chong:
"How many troops does Director Li need?"

Li is full of confidence:
"Five thousand riders are enough!"

Maybe he was infected by Li Chong's self-confidence, or maybe he felt that the 7 horses needed were not too much compared to the [-] paces, and it was worth a try. Yang Shuang immediately agreed to the plan.

It was planned that all the generals would disperse, and Yang Shuang had to discuss the details with Li Chong, but Cui Che turned around and walked back before leaving the tent.

"Che has [-] cavalry soldiers under his command. He is willing to fight bandits with Chief Li. Please allow the king to agree!"

Yang Shuang was shocked when he heard this, of course he disagreed, attacking the enemy camp at night is unusual, if there is a mistake, how would he explain it to Yang Lihua.

But Cui Che was determined to follow Li Chong to attack the camp, he insisted:
"With your majesty's honor, you still go to the front line in person, but with the meritorious service of General Manager Li, you have to take risks to attack the camp. They are all serving the country in the army, so why should Che be afraid! If the majesty does not allow it, the general will kneel in the tent at the end of the day!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Chong, as if he was saying Lao Li, I helped you just now, this time you should speak for me.

When Li Chong was a teenager, he was an emotional character. What Cui Che did at this moment also made Li Chong vaguely see himself as a boy, although he is only in his early twenties now.

After receiving Cui Che's request for help, Li Chong immediately persuaded Yang Shuang for him.

With Li Che's help, Yang Shuang finally let go, and he sighed:

"Forget it! Since Zicheng has the heart to serve the country, I can't stop it, so I will use you to lead the cavalry to fight against the bandits tomorrow night with Director Li."

Cui Che beamed with joy and said:
"At the end of the day, thank you, the king, for your success!"

Watching Cui Che leave the tent, Yang Shuang told him to think of Yang Lihua, he must take care of himself, but he didn't say it in the end, but he liked Cui Che, a brave, resourceful, courageous and knowledgeable young man more and more, and said in his heart , Lihua really saw the right person.

Then he continued to discuss with Li Chong.

When Cui Che returned to his camp, he didn't reveal any information to his subordinates, and even kept his mouth shut to Zhang Wu.

That night, Cui Che tossed and turned, thinking about tomorrow's events, he had no mood to sleep, and he simply didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he just adjusted his schedule in advance to prepare for tomorrow's night attack.

On the thirteenth day of April in the third year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign (583), the Sui army pulled out their camp and retreated in the early morning, retreating for more than [-] li before setting up their camp again.

The Turkic sentinel reported this information to take pictures, and the pictures really thought that the Sui army was afraid, he laughed with everyone:

"There is no one in the Central Plains, and a boy with a yellow hair is in command. Seeing our military might, he is really frightened."

The contempt was palpable. Li Chong and Cui Che both said that they underestimated the enemy by taking photos, but there was one reason that they did not mention, which was Yang Shuang.

Yang Shuang, a 21-year-old young man with no combat experience, took command, so how could he attract the attention of the photographer.

Shetu decisively ordered:
"Pass down our military order, the whole army marches [-] li to set up camp, as far as the Sui army retreats, our army will advance as much!"

He obviously wanted to press him step by step, put pressure on Yang Shuang, and when the yellow-haired boy was overwhelmed by the pressure and rushed south, he would lead the army in pursuit and deal a fatal blow to the 7 Sui army.

Under the command of Shetu, the Turkic and Sui troops once again set up camp at a distance of [-] miles.

After nightfall, Cui Che urgently summoned [-] knights under his command. They gathered in front of Cui Che's tent, but they didn't know why.

'We can't let us fight the Turks. '

The pawn Zhang Heng thought to himself.

He asked his friend Wang Qing, who was also confused.

When the two were whispering, someone behind reminded:
"Shut up, Mr. Xiao Lang has come out."

Zhang Heng and Wang Qing quickly shut their mouths.

Although Cui Che handed over his subordinates to Zhang Wu for a long time and served as an official in other places, he has a high prestige in the hearts of these people.

After all, he committed the felony of treason, yet nothing happened, and he even wanted to marry Princess Leping.

Cui Lu, who had betrayed him before, and more than [-] people, had long been abandoned in the wilderness to share food with the wild dogs.

 The first update should be before [-] pm tomorrow.
