On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 214 The Wrath of the Emperor

The next morning, the palace gate opened, and Cui Che, who was about to set off, was temporarily called into the palace by Yang Jian.

"I'm very angry.

"I think that by treating the people well, I can make Jiangnan return to its heart.

"I allocated fields to them and exempted them from taxes for ten years, but they failed me!

"A country should be governed with both might and virtue, and should be lenient and fierce. It was because of my softness that I allowed them to despise the majesty of the imperial court, which led to wars all over the south of the Yangtze River."

In Daxing Hall, Yang Jian looked at Cui Che and said in a deep voice:

"When you go south this time, you not only have to wipe out the rebels, but you also have to make the world understand the consequences of betraying me!

“All captured women are taken as trophies and rewarded to meritorious soldiers.

"Men who participate in the rebellion will be spared death and be punished as slaves unless they surrender before the battle.

"The rest, young and old, must not be left alive!"

Cui Che's heart trembled, but he didn't hesitate at all:

"I obey the decree!"

When he walked out of Daxing Hall, the wind and snow were raging outside, but Cui Che felt that it was even colder inside.

The emperor's wrath laid down millions of corpses and bled thousands of miles.

The anger of the great Sui sage Khan must be extinguished with the blood of traitors.

Cui Che returned to Yanguo Mansion. Li Jing, Fang Yanqian, Fang Xuanling, Kong Yingda, Gao Shilian and others were waiting outside the mansion in the snow and wind to set off.

Some of the generals, such as Cui Hongdu, who came to protect his children, Shi Wansui, etc., were on guard duty outside and needed to receive transfer orders before they could lead their troops to Yangzhou to join Cui Che, such as Cui Hongdu.

Some of them had already set off in advance yesterday to lead troops to various places, waiting for Cui Che to arrive in Yangzhou and be like Shi Long Live to protect their children.

And Cui Che was also eager to go and take charge of the overall situation.

The wives and concubines were all seeing off outside the house. Cui Che swept past the Bodhisattva slaves who had been called back to the city last night and Yuwen Eying, who had arrived early in the morning. He said goodbye to them one by one, and then boarded the carriage with Yuchi Chifan.

Yang Lihua didn't have much objection to Cui Che taking Yuchi Chifan south. It was better to have his own family following him than if he couldn't bear the loneliness on the way and brought a woman back home.

Under the watchful eyes of the family members, the motorcade slowly headed south.

When Cui Che went to Jiangling this time, he did not go through Tongguan. The Yellow River froze in winter, and the carriages and horses could not catch up with the boats.

Although there was chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, the rebels lacked ships and the Yangtze River was still under the control of the Sui army. Cui Che planned to leave Wuguan, board a ship on the Han River, cross Hankou into the Yangtze River, and go down the river to Yangzhou.

When Cui Che walked out of the ancient Shangyu Road, came to a ferry on the Han River, and took a boat to change to the waterway, Yang Guangcai, who was in Jinyang, received the transfer order.

Yang Guang was secretly happy when he learned that he had been appointed as the general manager of Yangzhou and was in charge of the military affairs of the forty-four states.

Previously, as the coach of the Chen Dynasty, Yang Guang set foot in Jiangnan for the first time and fell in love with it.

He loved the warm and pleasant climate in the south of the Yangtze River, the beautiful mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the gentle women in the south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, what he loves most is the meritorious service he can get in Jiangnan.

He had previously accomplished the feat of destroying Chen, and now he was wiping the butt of his third brother Yang Jun. It would not be too much to say that the King of Jin had made great contributions to the country.

He didn't have time to pack too many bags, so he only took Princess Jin and some of his staff with him, and hurriedly set off for Yangzhou.

The King of Qin, Yang Jun, will also be transferred to Bingzhou to take over the post of general manager of Bingzhou and supervise the military affairs of the twenty-four states.

Zhang Wu, who was far away in Anping County, received the transfer order a few days later than Yang Guang. He hurriedly summoned 3,000 cavalry on the same day. When they heard that he would follow Cui Che to put down the rebellion in the south, the Boling cavalry were overjoyed.

.

Previously, he followed Cui Che to fight in Youzhou and brought back countless women, children and livestock. Not only were the villagers envious of him, but even his wife also greeted him with every possible care.

They have long been looking forward to making another war fortune so that they can save more family property for their children and grandchildren.

The Boling cavalry's trust in Cui Che was blind. In their view, even the Turks were vulnerable, let alone the rebels in Jiangnan.

The three thousand cavalrymen bid farewell to their families and, led by Zhang Wu, galloped toward the south with one man and three horses.

Li Baiyao, who was taking refuge in his hometown in Anping County, couldn't help but be speechless as he watched the Boling cavalry go away.

Everyone knows that Cui Che spent all his money to maintain a cavalry of three thousand people, but only by truly witnessing their sophisticated equipment and high morale can we understand how much thought Cui Che put into them.

When Cui Che and others arrived at Hankou in a big boat, Cui Hongdu, the general manager of Jiangling, was already waiting at the ferry with his troops.

"Uncle, I'll welcome you from afar."

Cui Che stepped off the boat and greeted Cui Hongdu warmly.

Cui Che also knew very well what kind of temper Cui Hongdu was. He was arrogant and unwilling to be inferior to others.

It's good to have a good relationship with him, but I'm afraid I'm a little unconvinced by him as a long history man.

Just as Cui Che thought, Cui Hongdu was indeed not convinced.

From Cui Hongdu's point of view, he was older than Cui Che and had a higher seniority in the clan. When Yuchijun's rebellion was put down, he was the marching commander, and Cui Che was just a prisoner.

But ten years later, while he was still the marching commander, Cui Che became the marching commander Shi who actually commanded the three armies.

No matter who it was, I wouldn't be happy anymore.

But Cui Che greeted him warmly as soon as he got off the boat, and Cui Hongdu couldn't vent the anger in his heart.

Cui Hongdu cupped his hands and said:

"Since the imperial court has issued an order, Cui dare not neglect it."

Cui Che sent an invitation to Cui Hongdu:

"Uncle, why don't you come with me on the same boat? We haven't seen each other for a year, so we just got to know each other along the way."

Cui Hongdu looked at the Jiangling Prefecture soldiers who were boarding the battleships one after another and declined:

"Official duties are important, and Mr. Cui dare not leave his post without permission."

After that, he bowed his hands to Cui Che, said goodbye to him, and headed towards his boat.

Cui Che smiled nonchalantly and went back to his ship. As soon as he entered the cabin bedroom, his expression changed and he said angrily:

"Cui Hongdu didn't reflect on himself, why he has been a prince all his life, but he can't be a prince!"

When we both worked under Yang Jun, we were still close friends with Cui Che, and we had a deep uncle-nephew relationship.

Now that Cui Che suppressed him, he turned his back.

With such a bad temper, if Cui Hongdu hadn't been Dugu Jialuo's cousin, how could he have survived today in the extremely dangerous Sui Dynasty.

Yuchi Chifan stood up and rubbed Cui Che's shoulders, comforting him and saying:

"Husband, please calm down and don't let others make you angry."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the bedroom.

"Lord, someone just came to report that all Jiangling Mansion soldiers have boarded the ship. May I ask if we can set off now?"

Hearing Fang Yanqian's voice, Cui Che, who was still aggrieved just now, calmed down.

"Let's set off. We'll rush to Yangzhou early. We must first find out what the situation is like in the land of Sanwu."

Cui Che said calmly.

Although this rebellion affected the entire Jiangnan area, the land of Sanwu was the hardest hit area.

Fang Yanqian took the order to leave. He sent people to notify the ships with flags and sailed away from the ferry in turn.

And Cui Che was also thinking about how to convince Cui Hongdu in the room.

Chapter 4 was brought here, but it’s gone today.
