On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 531 Changes at night

In ancient times, especially during wars, it was extremely difficult to get in touch with separated family members.

That’s why Du Fu said, “The war rages on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold.”

In order to avoid suspicion, Gao Shilian did not dare to contact his sister Gao in the past, but Gao did not know where his brother Gao Shilian was now.

Otherwise, even if she offends Cui Che, she will cry and beg Cui Che to save her brother.

The relationship between their siblings is undoubtedly excellent.

In the original time and space, Gao Shilian was demoted to Lingnan. He was worried that his sister, who had been kicked out by his stepson, would have no support, so he sold the big house at home and replaced it with a small courtyard to accommodate his sister.

He distributed all the remaining money to his mother and sister, and took office lightly.

Of course, Cui Che knew about the friendship between their brother and sister. Gao often mentioned in front of Cui Che how kind his brother was to her when he was a teenager. Naturally, his intention was to hope that Cui Che could help her find out about Gao Shilian.

After arriving in Guanzhong, Cui Che secretly sent people to explore Zhongnan Mountain where Gao Shilian lived in seclusion, only to find out that Gao Shilian had joined Qiu He's tent.

At that time, Mrs. Gao was taking care of the sick Guanyin Maid in the rear. Cui Che didn't have time to notify her and forgot about it.

Until he heard that Tuyuhun sent troops to Longyou to besiege Tianshui, Cui Che never mentioned it, lest Gao would worry.

At this time, Cui Che had already been lurking twenty miles north of Tianshui City, waiting for nightfall.

Previously, Cui Che had watched the Tuyuhun siege with a telescope in the dark. Judging from the perfunctory attitude of the soldiers, it was clear that the patience of the Tuyuhun people had almost been worn away.

Murong Fuyun besieged the city for a long time, and as Qiu He thought, he thought Cui Che, Yuwenshu and others were competing for Daxing and had no time to divide their troops. These Tuyuhun people had already lost their vigilance.

All Cui Che had to do was to give them a thunderous blow at night while they were sleeping.

Qiu He also planned to operate late at night. At this time, night had fallen, and the perfunctory Tuyuhun soldiers had already retreated to the camp.

Qiu He and more than a hundred cavalry were already waiting at the north gate. In the middle of the night, when the Tuyuhun people were sleeping the deepest and the sentries were the most tired, they rushed out and fled north, first to Qingshui and then to Longguan.

.

It was already dark, and while Qiu He was waiting anxiously, Gao Shilian came over with a jar of wine in his arms.

"Mr. Qiu, before leaving, could you have a drink with Gao?"

Gao Shilian smiled.

Qiu He had no intention of drinking without riding a horse or riding a horse without drinking. He got off his horse and had three drinks with Gao Shilian.

After enjoying themselves, he threw the wine bowl on the ground and Qiu He said:

"The people of Tianshui are all entrusted to Shi Lian. I will have to travel under the stars and night to go straight to Daxing to ask for help from King Yan. I don't dare to delay for a moment."

But when he said these words, even Qiu He himself didn't believe it. With the food in the city now, how could he persist until he traveled back and forth between Tianshui and Daxing.

Qiu He looked ashamed, Gao Shilian shook his head and said:

"There is no need for Qiu Gong to feel guilty. If Qiu Gong was greedy for life and afraid of death, he would have offered the city to Tuyuhun long ago. How could he persist until now?

"What's more, breaking out to seek help means a narrow escape from death, and it's no safer than staying in the city.

"The food and grass in the city were about to run out. Qiu Gong risked his life to break out of the encirclement, instead of being a prisoner of the foreign invaders in order to survive. How worthy is he."

When Qiu He heard this, he felt very relieved::

"The most correct thing Qiu did in this life was to go to Zhongnan Mountain to invite Shi Lian to the throne.

"I'm so lucky to have a close friend in my life! It's a shame that I can't be with you forever!"

The two of them chatted at the North Gate about the past of managing Tianshui County together and the hardships of defending the city. Unknowingly, the time had already reached the second half of the night.

Qiu He sat on the horse again and said reluctantly:

"We say goodbye today. I wonder if there will ever be a day when we can meet again. Please take good care of me."

"I hope Mr. Qiu takes care of himself and has a safe journey."

Gao Shilian also said goodbye to Qiu He.

Just as Qiu He turned his horse's head and was about to give the order to open the city and rush out of Tianshui with more than a hundred knights, suddenly a soldier on the wall suddenly shouted towards the city:

"Something happened! The Tuyuhun people's camp was robbed and they are setting fire to everything!"

Everyone's sight was blocked by the towering city walls and they couldn't see the scene outside the city at all, but everyone was ecstatic.

It can't just be the Tuyuhun people directing and acting on their own, just burning down the camp for fun.

"Reinforcements must be coming!"

Qiu He said excitedly.

Gao Shilian could not hide his joy:

"Yes! Tianshui can be saved!"

The hundreds of cavalrymen who were preparing to follow Qiu and break out of the encirclement were also cheering happily. If given the choice, who would really abandon their family and survive alone?

Qiu He and Gao Shilian quickly climbed up the city wall and saw flames rising into the sky in the direction of the Tuyuhun camp.

In the night, the cavalrymen held torches high, like countless galloping fire dragons, charging through the camp, and no one could stop them.

"Where did the reinforcements come from?"

It was too dark and the distance was too far. Qiu Hewang couldn't tell clearly the flag and format of the reinforcements. He murmured.

But the ecstasy in my heart never weakened even a little.

Regardless of whether it is the Yan army or the Sui army, at least Tianshui will be protected from Tyuhun's poison.

Gao Shilian said firmly:

"It must be King Yan without a doubt!"

After Yang Guang took away the Xiaoguo Army, how could there be such a large-scale cavalry in Guanxi.

Attacking camps at night is the Yan army's specialty, and the Silver Saddle Khitans have always lacked experience in this area. As for the troops in front of the tent and the Boling cavalry, they have already figured out what to do.

Ripe in the chest.

Dahe Jinzhong, Li Hao and other Khitan cavalry generals closely followed Su Dingfang, Shen Guang, Yuchi Jingde and others, trampling the Tuyuhun camp back and forth. In addition to organizing arson, they were also searching for all enemies who might be gathering.

, to disperse them in one fell swoop.

Even Xu Shiji and Li Xiaogong also joined the battle. Cui Che gave everything he had, leaving only Li Xiuning and five hundred personal guards with him to watch the battle from a high place.

The panicked Tuyuhun people had already dispersed. Under the night attack of more than 27,000 elite cavalry, they could not organize any resistance.

When they relaxed their vigilance, thinking that no one would rescue Tianshui and despising the camp defense, the outcome was already doomed.

Murong Fuyun witnessed all this, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth:

"Cui Che!"

Murong Fuyun still can't understand why Cui Che gave up Daxing and divided his troops to Longyou.

Doesn't he know that as long as Cui Che can successfully capture Guanzhong, although he also wants to occupy Longyou, he will not dare to confront him head-on and will retreat after plundering Longyou!

When the time comes, the two families will make peace and form a permanent alliance. After Cui Che unifies the north, won't he be ready to take over Jiangnan wholeheartedly?

Why isn't he afraid that he will hold a grudge and Longyou will never have peace from now on?
