Chapter 46: Cangdang goes to jail

Late at night, Cui Che washed off the blood, changed into a new set of clothes, and left the mansion quietly, returning to his prisoner status.

At the same time, chaos also occurred in Shu, which was far away from Yecheng.

Previously, Wang Qian, the general manager of Yizhou, sent his secretary He Ruo'ang to Chang'an Yique to inquire about the news. He Ruo'ang returned to Shu, and with the situation in Chen Jingzhong, he learned that Yang Jian was in charge, Yu Chijiong and others were revolting in Hebei. Wang Qian immediately came to Shu

The troops of Shu were raised.

Not only the eighteen prefectures of Yi, Tong, Xin, Shi, Long, Qiong, Qing, Lu, Rong, Ning, Wen, Ling, Sui, He, Chu, Zi, Mei and Pu under Wang Qian's jurisdiction responded, there were even more honors.

People from the ten states of Chongqing, Lin, Qu, Peng, Long, Tong, Xing, Wu and Yong followed, and the momentum was huge.

Gao Anagong, the governor of Longzhou, planned three strategies for Wang Qian:

"My father-in-law leads the elite troops to Sanguan. The people of Shu know that the father-in-law has the duty to be a diligent king, so they must all think of serving their orders. This is the best policy.

"This is the best strategy to send troops to Liang and Han to take care of the world.

"Sit and defend Jiannan and send troops to defend yourself. This is the best strategy."

However, the commander-in-chief Shi Yifuqian and the governor of Yizhou Da Xideng persuaded him to take the risk into account.

So Wang Qian abandoned the best strategy and did not use it.

But the people in Shu didn't know that when Director He Ruoang was in Chang'an, he not only inquired about the news, but also sent intelligence to Yang Jian, telling him that Wang Qian had different intentions. Yang Jian then took precautions and took advantage of Liang Rui, the general manager of Liang'an.

Governor of the state, replacing Wang Qian.

However, before Liang Rui crossed the Han River, news of Wang Qian's rebellion came. Yang Jian immediately appointed Liang Rui as the marching marshal and recruited troops from Li, Feng, Wen, Qin, and Cheng states to put down the rebellion.

It is difficult to get out of Sichuan, and it is also difficult to enter Shu. The overall situation of the world still falls on Hebei.

After Wei Xiaokuan captured Ye City, he divided his forces to put down the various rebels who responded to Yuchi Jiong. During this period, he detained Cui Che on the grounds that he was a repeat offender. Cui Che was able to get a glimpse of his military strategy, which was of great benefit.

The news of Yuchi Jong's defeat reached Yunzhou, and Sima Xiaonan was devastated and frightened.

Previously, he raised troops in the eight towns of Yun, Sui, Wen, Ying, Tu, Shun, Mian, Yan, Yue, Jiuzhou and Lushan. He also went to the south and proclaimed himself a minister, and was granted the title of Grand Governor, governor of the eight towns of Jiuzhou, Sikong,

Granted a title to follow the Duke.

Nan Chen is really unreasonable, even this title is deliberately disgusting Yang Jian.

Now that he knew that Yuchi Jiong was dead and that Wang Yi's anti-rebellion army was approaching, Sima Xiaonan actually abandoned the state and county and led his troops across the river to go to Nanchen.

Wang Yi then put down the rebellion in Jianghan without leaving any trace of his mistakes.

Wang Qian changed his mind about the danger, but when he received these two bad news, his heart was shaken.

However, the bad news didn't stop there. Tonggu (Guangyuan, Sichuan) and Longmen (Pingwu, Sichuan) were successively attacked by Liang Rui.

Wang Qian's general Zhao Yan and Qin Hui's 100,000-strong army were defeated by Liang Rui. When the counter-rebellion army arrived in Chengdu, Wang Qian led 50,000 elite troops out of the city to fight. He ordered the commander-in-chief Shi Yifuqian and the governor of Yizhou Shi Daxi to guard

city.

Unexpectedly, Yi Fuqian and Da Xipeng had already secretly sent someone to express their willingness to atone for their sins. Wang Qian led his troops out of the city, and they changed their flags at the top of the city. Wang Qian's army was greatly confused and suffered another attack.

Liang Rui's troops attacked and had to flee to Xindu with more than 30 cavalry, where they were captured and killed by Wang Bao, the magistrate of Xindu.

Such is the human heart, not everyone is willing to die when the odds are against them.

Cui Che had experienced such a thing some time ago, and now Wang Qian had suffered it too.

The rebellion of the three generals was gradually put down, and no one in the north dared to challenge Yang Jian's authority. It was under this background that Cui Che was imprisoned and sent back to Beijing along with Wei Xiaokuan.

Brother Che once disliked the bumpy carriage of his family carriage, but now that he was sitting in the prison carriage, he thought about the goodness of the carriage again.

Yecheng has been destroyed.

After Yang Jian learned that Hebei was pacified, he was afraid that another Yuchi would appear, so he ordered the burning of Ye City and moved the Xiangzhou seat to Anyang.

Most of the people in Yecheng and surrounding areas were moved to Anyang. Cui Che did not let his family members accompany him. Pei Xiu escorted everyone to Boling to pay homage to his grandmother, Mrs. Feng, and then went to Hedong to hear the news and wait for his pardon.

information.

Cui Che did not hide the secret from his grandmother when he was working as an internal agent for Yang Jian. Otherwise, how could he have dissipated the family's wealth? After all, Mrs. Feng was in charge of the family's account books.

In mid-October, the army arrived in Chang'an, and Cui Che was imprisoned, waiting for the emperor's fate.

The cell was dark and damp, and Cui Che couldn't bear to be bothered by fleas.

On his first night in prison, all the jailers disappeared. Cui Che understood this, so he sat upright and waited for someone to come.

"How about it? Are you still adapting to life in prison?"

Yang Jian appeared in the aisle smelling of alcohol and asked with a smile.

Cui Che raised his arm and let Yang Jian take a closer look at the red spots bitten by fleas, and cried bitterly:

"It's just a two or three day stay, which is bearable. If the Prime Minister wants to lock me up for a year and a half, I'm afraid this life will be really unbearable."

Yang Jian blamed:

"If I had revealed my identity earlier, why would I have suffered like this?"

Cui Che said seriously:

"The sinner didn't know what the Prime Minister meant. Che had a grudge against the Prime Minister's son and was afraid, so he rebelled and declared that he deserved death. However, he still had a grandmother in the family who needed to be taken care of. He also asked the Prime Minister to show Che a way to survive."

When Yang Jian heard this, the admiration in his eyes became stronger. Today was Wei Xiaokuan's celebration banquet. He just excused himself from the banquet and was in a hurry to go back, so he did not stay long and only said:

"I have the intention to attack Chen, but I don't know what to do."

He left in a hurry.

Cui Che immediately understood the meaning of Yang Jian's words.

Of course, rebellion should not be taken lightly. Cherishing talent alone is not enough to let Cui Che escape. Otherwise, why would he warn the world? Therefore, he must be meritorious.

Now that the north has returned to peace, for the imperial court, destroying Chen is the top priority. Of course, for Yang Jian personally, usurping the throne is the top priority.

What Yang Jian said was naturally to let Cui Che defeat Chen Ce.

It doesn't matter what Cui Che wrote in the policy paper.

Yang Jian asked the little emperor to say it was good, and it was good.

At worst, he won't reveal it to others on the grounds of military and state secrets. Anyway, it's just an excuse to get Cui Che off the hook.

When Yang Jian walked out of prison, he regretted more and more that he had not recruited Cui Che as his son-in-law for Ah Wu.

There are many brave and talented young men, but there are very few who are considerate of the Lord and know how to advance and retreat.

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the banquet was in full swing.

No one would ask where Yang Jian had just gone.

Yang Jian looked at Wang Fengxiao in the field, secretly compared with Cui Che, and became more and more dissatisfied.

Wang Yi was instrumental in pacifying the Sima Xiaonan Rebellion. Yang Jian followed the advice of his wife Dugu Jialuo and married his fifth daughter, Yang Awu, to Wang Yi's son Wang Fengxiao.

However, Yang Awu was only nine years old at the time and could not get married immediately, so he just decided to get married temporarily.

Naturally, the Prime Minister's Mansion was bustling with singing and dancing. In Cui Che's cell, someone also moved a desk and placed pens, inks, paper, inkstones and candlesticks.

While Cui Che was grinding the ink, he was also thinking about how Ping Chen Ce should write.

Sima Xiaonan was mistakenly written as Yuchi Jiong, which has been corrected.
