On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 279 Turkic Envoys

After finally appeasing the Bodhisattva slave who wanted to follow him to establish meritorious deeds, Cui Che said goodbye to his wife and children and stepped into the carriage.

On this trip, except for Zhang Lihua and Fang Xuanling, he only brought dozens of personal followers as escorts.

In the bumpy carriage, Cui Che rested his head on Zhang Lihua's soft thighs and closed his eyes to rest.

Zhang Lihua obediently kneaded the acupuncture points on Cui Che's head.

Now that he is about to turn thirty-eight, his days of youth are running out. He can still stay with Cui Che and accompany him alone. Although he is reluctant to leave his seven-year-old daughter Cui Wenjuan, he is still grateful to Yang Lihua for this arrangement.

of.

To be honest, Cui Che had one wife and four concubines, and he is not even young now.

After all, even Cui Che himself is already twenty-seven years old, let alone his wives and concubines who are older than him.

Among the wives and concubines in the mansion, Mu Xieli was the oldest, fourteen years older than Cui Che, and was forty-one years old at the time.

Next to Zhang Lihua, Yang Lihua is only two years younger than her, at the age of thirty-six.

Wang Miaorong is five years older than Cui Che and is now thirty-two years old.

Even Yuchi Chifan is almost thirty-one.

Fortunately, he likes charming women and has no interest in those young girls. His wives and concubines are over thirty years old, and Cui Che will not dislike them for losing their youth.

Zhang Lihua was kneading Cui Che when she felt a hand reaching into her clothes, and she felt a little happy in her heart.

However, for some reason, the carriage stopped. Cui Che pulled out his hand, sat up and said in a deep voice:

"What happened?"

Dou Jiande, who was driving for Cui Che, replied:

"Master, Mr. Li, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, is waiting in front."

Dou Jiande had followed Cui Che to Li Jing's home several times to express condolences, so he naturally recognized him.

When Cui Che heard that it was Li Jing, he immediately opened the door curtain and looked out.

The person standing in front is Li Jing.

Cui Che asked Zhang Lihua to wait in the carriage, while he jumped off the carriage, walked forward quickly, and asked knowingly:

"Did the pharmacist come to see you off? When did you take off your mourning clothes?"

Li Jing looked a lot thinner.

Of course, this is also a normal thing. To observe filial piety, Cui Che also came here like this. When he was mourning for his grandmother, he was often so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.

Li Jing did not answer Cui Che's doubts, but asked:

"The Duke of Yan was about to conquer the Turks in the north. Why didn't he inform Li? He thought that Li was a burden and could not be with him."

Cui Che held Li Jing's hand and said:

"Don't you understand what I'm thinking, pharmacist? Why do you speak like this?"

Li Jing said seriously:

"In that case, I also ask Duke Ming to allow Li Jing to accompany you and saddle up the horses and horses for Duke Ming!"

"But don't you still have to mourn for your father?"

Cui Che hesitated.

However, Li Jing's attitude was very firm:

"The Turks rebelled, and the country was in crisis. Ming Gong was ordered to go on an expedition, and his army was definitely short of manpower. How could Li Jing forget state affairs because of his personal affairs!"

Cui Che was overjoyed and immediately took Li Jing with him as his adviser.

After all, Li Jing is currently in the period of filial piety. Without Yang Jian issuing an edict to seize his love, he would not have been entrusted with an official position.

The group came to the ferry outside the city, went to Tongguan via Guangtong Canal, then left Tongguan and took a boat out.

Cui Che also did not forget to send people to Leping, Bingzhou, to transfer a group of Dongyang disciples to Youzhou.

At this time, news came back from the Western Turks and Western Turks that Datou Khan and Nili Khan were mobilizing their troops. Yang Jian said angrily:

"These thieves really have a plan."

Fortunately, Yu Qingze has also set off for Liangzhou now. Yang Jian is not too worried about the war in Longyou. After all, it is just defense, not taking the initiative to fight.

Yu Qing's conduct is despicable, but his talent is undoubted.

It is just a bit lower than Cui Che, Yang Su, He Ruobi, Han Qinhu, Shi Wansui, etc., and is as ready to drive as Cui Zhongfang, Yu Zhongwen, Duan Wenzhen and others.

Yang Jian was still concerned about the war with the Eastern Turks, and there was no need to elaborate on its importance, otherwise he would not have sent Cui Che to go out, and he deliberately lowered his dignity and said such words.

However, when Cui Che arrived in Hebei, he also heard that Goguryeo had contacted Khitan and invaded western Liaoning.

In the entire northern territory of the Sui Dynasty, except for Kumoxi, the Western Turks, Western Turks, Eastern Turks, Khitan, Goguryeo and other forces established an anti-Sui alliance spanning thousands of miles.

The envoys from the Eastern Turks and Kumoxi also went south early to wait for Cui Che in Anping County.

When Cui Che's car arrived in Anping, the envoy also came to pay homage secretly.

These two people Cui Che had met were Yu Qincha, the son of Dulan Khan Yongyulu, and Ahuigeye, the son of King Xi Ahui Lusu.

"Yu Qincha pays homage to Duke Yan."

"Ahuigeye pays homage to Duke Yan."

"No need to be polite, please sit down."

After the two of them took their seats, Yu Qinzha expressed his intention directly:

"On the order of his father Khan, Yu Qincha came to pay homage to Duke Yan and relayed his heartfelt words to his father Khan:

"'Previously the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty had confiscated weapons from all over the world and treated the people of Guandong as thieves and bandits, causing public resentment to boil.

"'Yan Gong has the hope of Guandong, how can he remain indifferent.

"'I only took the throne of Turkic Khan with the support of Duke Yan. I feel deeply about Duke Yan's kindness day and night, and I don't know how to repay it.

"'Now there are wars all over the border of the Sui Dynasty. At this time of internal and external troubles, why doesn't Duke Yan take up his long-term strategy and raise righteous soldiers? Then the world will respond and his followers will gather.

"'Yong Yulu is also willing to lend a helping hand to Duke Yan. At that time, you and I will join forces and march directly to Guanzhong. All south of the Great Wall will belong to Duke Yan. North of the Great Wall will be the land of Turks. The two families are in good alliance and will never invade each other.

.

"'Wouldn't it be better than Duke Yan to live under the influence of others for a long time?'"

Cui Che heard this and said in a deep voice:

"Are you done? Please come back when you're done."

Yu Qincha was shocked and said anxiously:

"Mr. Yan! How could we miss a great opportunity just because of some kindness and loyalty, but because of our foolish loyalty to the people?"

Cui Che suddenly changed his color:

"If I agree to you, then I will be a real one-man thief!

"If you use the Great Wall as a boundary, you want me to cede Monan. Why doesn't Yong Yulu ask for the land of Youyun! I will simply give Hebei to him! How about that!

"What! You want me to lead the Turkic troops to kill and plunder the people of the Central Plains. This is to trap me in injustice and to make me bear an eternal infamy!

"I, Cui Che, would rather die than do such a thing!

"I see you today because I am thinking of my long-standing friendship with Yong Yulu. I hope he will realize his return and go to Daxing to plead guilty. I, Cui Che, will guarantee with my life that the saint will never be in trouble.

"I never thought that Yong Yulu would persist in his stubbornness. If that's the case, why bother to say more.

"I won't embarrass you today. You go back and tell Yong Yulu. Don't have any wishful thinking. I will hunt with him in Mobei and have a showdown!"

Yu Qincha's face turned ugly, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Isn't Duke Yan afraid that Father Khan will preach about the righteous princess?"

Cui Che slapped the table and shouted:

"Do you think the saint will believe in him or me?

"You go back and tell Yong Yulu what you want to say. Even if you publicize it, it will let all the tribes in the grassland see clearly how he, the Great Khan, is so humble and servile to me!

"If he can't keep his mouth shut, even if he escapes far away, and I don't take his head, I will never teach him a lesson, believe it or not!"

Ah Huigeye on the side turned pale with fright.
