On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 555 History of Yizhou

Cui Che's pursuit of power is not to get up early every day and work late at night, immersed in paperwork, and deal with all the big and small matters that are never finished.

But with just a few words, you can easily decide the life or death of others.

Take Gao Shilian as an example. Even though he was in charge of the defense of Tianshui City under the siege of Tuyuhun, he persisted until Cui Che came to help and made great achievements.

But if it weren't for the Gao family, this little credit would never have made him jump from Qinzhou Sima to Bingzhou governor.

Several memorials were sent to Jinyang overnight, and Cui Che also left Yongxian County for Daxing the next day.

Also accompanying him was Li Yuan’s coffin.

Their ancestral grave is located in the suburbs of Chang'an, so it is naturally impossible for Li Yuan to be buried in Yong County.

Li Shimin, Li Xiuning and others followed the army and helped Ling return eastward. Cui Che had been paying close attention to the situation in Hanchuan along the way, especially the resettlement of the victims.

Nowadays, the climate is getting colder and winter supplies are constantly being transported to Hanchuan.

Qin Qiong sends messengers almost every day to inform Cui Che of the news.

After taking all Hanchuan County, Qin Qiong left Cheng Yaojin to guard Nanzheng County and be responsible for the resettlement of the victims, while he himself went down the Han River to attack Xicheng County.

The prefect of Xicheng County asked for help from Fangling County, but the prefect of Fangling was too busy to take care of himself. Li Jing, the governor of Luozhou, was also sending troops to Fangling County at this time.

When Cui Che arrived in Yongzhou, Qin Qiong and Li Jing successively completed the siege of Xicheng County and Fangling County. However, the road was far away and it would be difficult for the news to reach Cui Che's ears for a while.

The tombs around Chang'an and Daxing are roughly distributed in Longshouyuan, Xianyangyuan, Bailuyuan, Fengqiyuan and other places, and Li Yuan's ancestral tomb is in Longshouyuan.

When Li Yuan was buried, Cui Che personally recited the memorial in front of the grave.

This memorial text was handwritten by Cui Che himself. It was full of grief and everyone who heard it shed tears.

Those who don't know the inside story might think that Cui Che and Li Yuan, the husband-in-law, really have a deep relationship.

It has been some time since Cui Che captured Daxing, but the ruins in Daxing City are still being cleared, and the Yongzhou Governor's Office has now been moved to Chang'an County, north of Longshouyuan.

Cui Che has no plans to rebuild Daxing Palace. In the future, when he tours the west, he can go to Qizhou and stay at Renshou Palace.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yang Jian still adhered to the principle of practicality when building Daxing Palace. At that time, Yang Jian also practiced frugality.

When Yang Su supervised the construction of Renshou Palace for him, he exhausted all the people's resources and strived for luxury, carved beams and painted buildings, and magnificence.

In comparison, Cui Che also prefers the magnificent Renshou Palace with its carved beams and painted buildings.

He was asked to rebuild the Daxing Palace, but Cui Che was more willing to build a palace in Luoyang.

At this time, Cui Che was already considering a plan to move the capital. Jinyang was located in the north and was indeed not suitable as a capital.

Relatively speaking, Luoyang is located in the middle of the world, located on the south bank of the Yellow River.

With the help of the Yellow River water transport, the losses of transporting tax grains from various places to Luoyang are much lower than those of transporting to Jinyang.

At the same time, after taking Guanzhong, Jinyang's biggest advantage, that is, bypassing Tongguan and deploying troops via Puban, no longer exists, and its military significance is greatly reduced.

Cui Che is about to unify the north, and his intention to conquer the south is well known to everyone on the road.

When sending troops to Guanzhong, Jinyang naturally has the advantage, but when sending troops to the south, Luoyang is more convenient.

Whether it was an economic consideration to reduce the loss of taxes and grains, or a military consideration to facilitate the southern expedition, moving the capital was an imperative.

After the master returns to the court, Cui Che will also raise relevant issues in the court hall for the ministers to discuss.

Chang'an County, palace of Han Dynasty.

Just after Li Yuan was buried, news of Li Jiancheng's murder reached the palace, and Li Xiuning, who was temporarily staying here with Cui Che, burst into tears.

After Yang Guang learned of Li Yuan's rebellion, he immediately ordered the arrest of Li Jiancheng's family and executed them. Even Li Jiancheng's newborn son was not spared, which shows the resentment in Yang Guang's heart.

At the same time, Yang Guang ordered that Qi Wang Yang Jin be appointed as the general manager of Yizhou to guard Shu.

After all, Guanzhong has been lost, and it is impossible for Yang Jian to sit in Chengdu with a governor of Guanxi.

As for Yuwenshu, he did not have such good luck. Although Li Yuan's rebellion was used as an excuse, the loss of Guanxi cannot be said to be entirely Gao Jiong and Yuwenshu's fault.

But if such a big thing happens, someone has to take responsibility, and naturally this person cannot be Yang Jian.

As for Gao Jiong who died in the city, he also received a high-level reward from Yang Guang.

Therefore, only Yu Wenshu's dismissal from official rank could calm public opinion somewhat.

Of course, everyone knew that Yuwenshu's return would be a matter of time. After all, he was a minister of Yang Guangqian's residence and was deeply trusted.

As for Zhang Heng, who succeeded Yu Wenshu, he was also one of Yang Guang's most trusted ministers.

He successively served as Yang Guang's Hebei Daxingtai Criminal Department, Duzhi Shangshu, and successively served as Yangzhou's general manager, Fufu, Sima and other positions. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, only Yuwen Shu's favor could be compared with that of Yang Guang.

In the original time and space, Zhang Heng was alienated and eventually unjustly killed because he persuaded Yang Guang to show compassion for the people and oppose the construction of Fenyang Palace. But now Yang Guang has lost the entire north and has no Fenyang Palace to build, so he can save it.

The relationship between the two of them was revealed.

Zhang Heng had already entered Shu at this time. After all, it took a lot of time for Xizuo to send the news from Jiangdu to Chang'an.

As the carriage drove into Chengdu, Zhang Heng sat in the carriage with a frown on his face.

After arriving in Shu, he had received the latest news about the situation in the north, and Hanchuan County had fallen.

Zhang Heng was mentally prepared for this. After hearing that Cui Che built a dam to store floods and flooded Yangping Pass, Zhang Heng knew that Hanchuan County could not be defended.

Zhang Heng also agreed with Yu Wenshu's strategy of decisively retreating to Shu and defending according to danger.

However, in just four years, almost all of the north fell. This situation still made Zhang Heng worried.

He looked at the white-haired old man riding with him and asked:

"Cui Ni has been away for a long time and left Qin Qiong to lead the army. He must have the intention of returning eastward.

"When he returns to Jinyang, according to Yuwen Gong's opinion, can we take the opportunity to go north and regain the lost territory?"

This Yuwen Gong is not Yuwen Shu, but Yuwen Bi.

Yu Wenbi was sixty-three years old at the time and was not directly related to Yu Wenshu.

He once followed Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty to destroy the Northern Qi Dynasty. After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, he defeated the Turks in the north and the Chen State in the south. He had great achievements and won the trust of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. He had good relations with Gao Jun, He Ruobi and others.

He successively served as the general manager of Sizhou, Shuozhou, Daizhou, Wuzhou and other places. This time he followed Zhang Heng to Shu. This old man who was familiar with military affairs was the Sima of Qi King Yang Jian and served as his military counselor.

Yu Wenbi is already very old, and his children and grandchildren are all in Jiangnan, which is why Yang Guang can use him with confidence.

"It is difficult to transport supplies from Shu to the north. Moreover, Yangping Pass has been destroyed. Even if Hanchuan is recovered and Cui Ni raises troops to invade, how will Zhang Changshi defend himself against the enemy?"

Yuwenbi asked rhetorically.

Zhang Heng could not be right, so he could only sigh reluctantly and never mentioned regaining the lost territory.

My health is much better. If I take a rest tonight, I will only have 4,000 words. I will sort out my thoughts tonight and resume normal updates tomorrow.
