Chapter 154 Daxing offers prisoners

Previously, the Jingguan built with thousands of heads in Jixian County had already wiped out the bandits in Youzhou. Now the news that more than 80,000 people were captured and executed is even more sensational.

The people of the Six Prefectures didn't care that Cui Che united with the Eastern Turks and Kumo Xi, and combined the efforts of the three families to achieve a weak victory. They only knew that the current manager of Youzhou was their patron saint. With Cui Che sitting in charge, they would never be able to win again.

No need to worry about Turkic intrusion.

Peace is what the people in the frontier have always wanted.

Even the elders of the Lu family in Fan Yang planned to pay a visit to Jixian County on the day Cui Che returned.

Respect must be earned through ability.

When the news spread to Dingzhou, the Cui clan in Anping County was even more proud of it. Whether it was the third house or the other houses, visiting friends would always brag about the battle of falling into the water to them.

The Boling Cui clan has no shortage of generals in the army, such as Cui Hongdu and Cui Hongsheng brothers who captured the head of Yuchi Jiong in the Battle of Yecheng, but in any case they cannot compare with Cui Che's brilliant results.

Regardless of its scale, results and even impact, the victory of the weak and the weak is undoubtedly enough to go down in history. However, Cui Che, who planned this battle and served as the commander-in-chief of the Sui army, was only eighteen years old.

As Li Gang said that day, the world regarded him as the champion of the Sui Dynasty.

Every time the team escorting the prisoners passed through Guanzhong, local people would flock to watch, and Cui Che's name finally resounded throughout China.

Changsun Sheng did not have the patience to slowly set off on the road with the prisoners. He took Apo Khan Daluo and hurried back to Guanzhong.

Yang Jian learned of the results of the Battle of Weluoshui and that more than 50,000 prisoners were still on the way. Regarding Cui Che's actions, he said that it was unnecessary and it would be better to divide them with the Eastern Turks and Kumoxi on the spot.

But he was very happy in his heart. Sun Sheng, the commander-in-chief, should not rush into the city. A grand ceremony for the sacrifice of prisoners would be held at that time, and the people in the city would be able to watch the Western Turk Khan and his more than 50,000 captives in embarrassment, showing that he was the emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

of majesty.

Cui Che gave him face, and Yang Jian loved him even more. He even loved Wu Wu and Wu. When Cui Che's son Bodhisattva was playing with Yang Guang's son Yang Zhao, he was scolded by Yang Zhao, the little adult.

As Cui Jishu's great-grandson, how could the Bodhisattva slave coddle him? He punched Yang Zhaowu until his eyes turned blue.

When Yang Lihua learned about this, she quickly brought a Bodhisattva slave to Yang Jian to plead guilty. Yang Jian even smiled nonchalantly and said:

"His father once beat Guang'er, and the Bodhisattva slave punched Zhao'er again. This is a family friend."

Yang Zhao, who was standing aside, was dumbfounded. It turned out that family friends had such a meaning, but this was the first time he had heard that his father had been beaten by his uncle.

Even Dugu Jialuo didn't take the fight between his grandson and his grandson seriously. Instead, he praised Yang Lihua for her good vision and choosing Cui Che as a good husband.

Although it was Yang Jian who granted the marriage, everyone knew very well that it was Yang Lihua who chose her son-in-law.

Since Xiao Jue had to stay in mourning for his father for three years, Yang Awu, who was still widowed at home, heard about Cui Che's current situation and felt mixed emotions in his heart:

'It's me, it's me first. It's obvious that I came first to meet him, whether my parents promised to marry him, or whether I accepted the marriage.'

Seeing the sisters getting together occasionally, when the three sisters mentioned their eldest brother-in-law, the eldest sister inadvertently raised the corners of her mouth with such a happy and proud look, Yang Awu felt even more uncomfortable.

Xiao Jue, who was once barely able to look at him, compared him with her brother-in-law Cui Che in her heart, but she didn't want to marry him anyway.

Although Yang Lihua was proud of Cui Che's achievements, she was also worried about his expedition to Dujin Mountain. How could she feel relieved in the vast desert with no news.

It's not just Yang Lihua who is worried, everyone in the East Palace is also worried about Cui Che.

It's not that they haven't thought about wooing Cui Che, but Cui Che and Yang Guang have been friendly since childhood. Before that, Yang Yong went to Luoyang and Cui Che returned to Beijing to report on his duties. On the way back, he even deliberately avoided Luoyang, making it clear that he stayed away from the prince.

But Yang Yong and his group are not Yang Guang or Yang Su after all, and it is not that no one wants to take the opportunity to slander. However, Yang Yong's most important supporter, Gao Jiong, opposes this approach.

Gao Jun worked hard for the Sui Dynasty. He made a clear distinction between public and private affairs and knew the importance of the prestigious Cui Che guarding the northern border against the background of defending the north and attacking the south.

Secondly, I also understand that with Yang Lihua here, it will be difficult for the East Palace to overthrow Cui Che.

Queen Dugu Jialuo's disgust for Dong Gong is gradually revealed. Once Dong Gong attacks Cui Che, with Dugu Jialu and Yang Lihua's mother and daughter protecting him, not only will he not be able to hurt Cui Che at all, but he will also suffer.

Gao Jun was originally a retainer of the Dugu clan. He changed his surname to Dugu clan after his father. His previous name was Dugu Jun. He also served Yang Jian for many years. Of course, he knew the relationship between husband and wife and father and daughter.

In fact, after Dugu Jialuo's death, Yang Jian could only listen to the comfort of Yang Lihua, his eldest daughter.

On October 23, the seventh year of Kaihuang's reign (587), heavy snow fell in Guanzhong. However, the cold climate could not reduce the enthusiasm of the people of Daxing in the slightest.

They all gathered around to watch this grand prisoner presentation ceremony, and Western Turkic Apo Khan Daluo and more than 50,000 captured Turkic soldiers were escorted to Beijing.

When had the people of Daxing seen such a large-scale sacrifice of prisoners? Amid the calls of the people, Apo Khan Dalou and many important ministers of the Western Turks were sent to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices to Yang Zhong, the Taizu of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Wuyuan.

Guests from all over the world were also invited by Yang Jian to watch the ceremony.

Not only did Yang Jian shine in front of the barbarians and people, he was also able to boast of his merits in the temple of his late father.

Afterwards, plans were made to confer Cui Che with the title of Zhuguo and the title of Duke, just waiting for his triumphant return from Dujin Mountain.

Yang Jian didn't know why he had so much confidence in Cui Che's expedition to Dujin Mountain. Perhaps it was because Cui Che had never let him down in so many years, and everything big and small was handled properly.

Apo Khan Daluo was taken as a prisoner, but he did not suffer much humiliation.

The accompanying East Turkic envoy asked Yang Jian to kill Daluobian, but Yang Jian had other plans. He summoned his ministers to discuss how to deal with Daluobian.

Gong Xie of Le'an believed that he should be executed, but Chang Sun Sheng opposed it.

Changsun Sheng believed that Apo Khan Dalubian's crime was due to the assassination of Turkic brothers, and he was not responsible for the Sui Dynasty. It was better to pardon Dalubian, return the Western Turkic captives who should belong to the Sui Dynasty, and preserve his country.

At the same time, Yang Jian was informed that Cui Che also agreed with this proposal before leaving. The reason why he went out of the fortress was just to prevent the Eastern Turks and Kumo Xi from monopolizing the women and children of the Western Turks and gain power.

Gao Jong's second proposal also made Yang Jian determined to treat Apo Khan Daluobian politely, and when Cui Che returned to his army, he would give him prisoners, women and children, in order to contain the Eastern Turks and let the Turks continue to be immersed in internal strife.

Yang Jian knew better than anyone that the Eastern Turks Mohe Khan Chuluohou, who was extremely docile today, would not continue to be so obedient in the future.

Not surprisingly, after the Western Expedition, the Western Turks who suffered annihilation will become domestic dogs, while the East Turks who have grown stronger again may show their wolfish nature.

But history never lacks surprises.
