On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 362 Reactions from all parties

The sudden news that Ahui Lusu would rebel against the Sui Dynasty not only made the soldiers and people of Yandi think that he was suffering from heart failure.

Even the chiefs of the other four tribes among the five tribes of Kumoxi wanted to crack open his head to see what was running inside.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. This move will completely drag our Xi clan into the abyss. This is a recipe for disaster and there is a danger of annihilation of the clan!"

Chief Chuhebu cried and remonstrated.

Today's five tribes of the Xi tribe are no longer the humiliated Hezhu, Mohefu, Qixu, Mukun, and Shide in the past.

The name was changed early and was called Ahui Department, Chuhe Department, Aoshuo Department, Duji Department and Yuanqizhe Department.

Ever since the news spread and learned that Cui Che had arrived in Yanzhou to prepare for war, the surrounding tribes, large and small, were gearing up, waiting to divide and eat Kumo Xi under Cui Che's command.

Even the Khitan King Da Hemo Hui was already convening his troops and was waiting for Cui Che's order to send the Khitans to march west on foot.

Kumo Xi once plundered the Khitan, and now it is time to take revenge.

Those who opposed were not only the chiefs of the other four tribes, but also the nobles of the Ahui Lusu tribe.

They have been jointly admonishing each other in the past few days, hoping that Ahuilusu would send an envoy to Jixian to plead guilty to Cui Che and explain the matter clearly.

Over the years, the Kumoxi people have often followed Cui Che to cause harm to the Turks. Now that they see Cui Che changing the focus and taking action against them, they are afraid that the disaster suffered by the Turks will fall on them. How can they have the courage to fight with them?

Be the enemy.

Isn't it good to guard this wealth? Mr. Yan is fair in dealing with things. If you follow him, you can't rob any place. Why do you have to touch the hard nut of Yan land?

Ah Hui Lusu looked helplessly at the four chiefs.

In fact, he was mentally prepared, knowing that once the news came out, it would inevitably trigger a wave of opposition, but he really didn't expect their reaction to be so violent.

Originally, Ah Hui Lusu wanted to keep it a secret, but if he didn't tell the truth, they were afraid that these people would have to plot a coup and use his head to plead guilty to Cui Che, so as to protect their own wealth.

Ah Hui Lusu had no choice but to take out the secret letter and give it to the four chiefs for circulation.

The four people looked at each other with different expressions.

The tears on Chief Chuhe's face were still wet, and he was stunned and said:

"This, is this all true?"

Ah Hui Lusu sighed:

"This is written by Duke Yan himself. You all recognize Duke Yan's handwriting. You can judge for yourself whether it is true or false."

Only then did everyone feel relieved, and the chief of Duji suddenly said:

"The Duke of Yan does not want to return to the court, so he ordered us to make a big splash. How long can we delay it? I'm afraid that the Duke of Yan has already begun to become self-reliant."

Ah Hui Lusu immediately shouted:

"Stop talking nonsense!"

But the chief of the Osh tribe said:

"The upright heart of Duke Yan is so obvious that your Majesty does not need to hide it for Duke Yan.

"Not only did the king receive great favor from Duke Yan, the other four tribes of us have also received the care of Duke Yan over the years.

"Now that Duke Yan wants to rebel, we will naturally not expose him.

"Privately, I can repay Duke Yan's kindness. On the public side, the civil strife of the Sui Dynasty also gives our Xi clan a chance to breathe and take advantage of the opportunity to grow stronger."

Before Yang Guang ruined this foundation, the power of the Sui Dynasty was indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Each ministry hoped that they could develop and grow, but they were worried about arousing the Sui Dynasty's vigilance.

The heavy sense of oppression almost made all ethnic groups in the grassland breathless.

Of course, they didn't know that even without Cui Che, there would still be Yang Guang, an outstanding management game player: It doesn't matter, I will take action.

Ah Hui Lusu and the chiefs of the four tribes also agreed on the same view. They did not say that they would directly send troops to help Cui Che and go to the Central Plains to experience the colorful world. However, they must not leak this matter.

With the support of the four chiefs, Ahui Lusu was also out of danger. This incident also gave him a new estimate of Cui Che's influence within the Xi tribe.

At the same time, Dulan Khan, who had moved back to Duluoshui, heard the news and was so excited that he celebrated with his son Yu Qincha drinking wine.

He knew the relationship between Ahui Lusu and Cui Che very well, so naturally he would not believe that Ahui Lusu dared to rebel. Cui Che's move was nothing more than to support the bandits' self-respect and prevent Yang Jian from transferring him away.

After three drinks, Dulan Khan recalled his experiences over the years and said emotionally:

"As the Great Khan, I have been like a lost dog these years. But if there is any trouble, I will lead my troops to flee.

"Now that the hard days are finally over, Cui Che will rebel, and the Sui Dynasty is in civil strife, so Monan must not be taken care of.

"When the war breaks out, it will be time for me to unify the Turks and restore the glory of our ancestors."

Dulan Khan has been looking forward to this day for too long.

Yu Qincha echoed:

"Qimin is just a defeated general under Father Khan. If it weren't for the support of the Sui people, he would have become a pile of withered bones.

"Now that Cui Che wants to rebel, it is a God-given opportunity. I sincerely wish my father Khan to reunite the Turkic tribes. There is no need to look at other people's faces!"

Dulan Khan laughed so hard that his attempt to unify the Turks was not a delusion.

In the past few years, the Western Turks and the Western Turks both lost their khans and suffered heavy losses. Recently, they have been at war with each other. The once close alliance has now fallen into civil war.

Nowadays, the most powerful among the Turks are the Qimin Khan of the East Turks who is supported by Yang Jian, and the Lan Khan of the East Turks who have retained their strength.

In the third year of Renshou, on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, Cui Che should have entered the court anyway according to his schedule, but his delay in arriving also aroused Yang Jian's suspicion, and he quickly sent an envoy to Youzhou to investigate the news.

There was no need for an envoy to report back. On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Qimin Khan sent an envoy south to inform Kumoxi of the rebellion. This made Yang Jian extremely excited. After coughing several times, he actually fainted.

This made everyone in the civil and military circles of the entire dynasty horrified.

Yang Jian was in a coma for two days before he woke up. He called Yang Guang to the bed, held his son's hand, and said with tears in his eyes:

"I mistrusted Cui Che. I didn't know about his wolfish ambitions. Now I have caused trouble to you. Even if I am under nine springs, I can't rest in peace!"

Cui Che used Kumoxi's rebellion as an excuse to delay his entry into the court. Yang Jian, Yang Guang and his son knew that the other party was on guard. It was already impossible to deceive Cui Che into the court and remove him at the minimum cost.

Already.

A counter-insurgency war is inevitable.

Yang Guang comforted:

"Father, please be at ease and make up for the situation before it's too late.

"Furthermore, the Sui Dynasty had millions of elite soldiers, as well as veteran generals like Yue Guogong, who would definitely be able to put down the rebellion and take Cui Che's head to present to the emperor."

With Yang Guang's relief, Yang Jian finally cheered up and issued more than ten edicts in succession.

The first is to remove Cui Cheyou from the post of general manager of the two provinces, recruit him to the court, and worship him as Shangshu's right servant, so that he will be in the prime minister's position, just below Yang Su, Shangshu's left servant.

This move was obviously a deception, and it was clear that Cui Che would be forced to join the court.
