On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 562 Visitors from all sides

It has been some time since Dulan Khan came to Jinyang. He had long ago asked the young emperor Yang Hao to enter the court, not to meet the emperor, but to appear at the abdication ceremony as a foreign guest.

In the third year of Zhenyuan, on New Year's Eve, Dulan Khan was invited to Prince Yan's Mansion.

It was dusk at this time, and Jinyang was bone-chilling after the snow, but this was not a big problem for Dulan Khan, who was accustomed to the grassland climate.

It can even be said that being able to see Cui Che in black fur greeting him at the door of the mansion made Dulan Khan feel a warmth in his heart.

"Your Majesty welcomes you from a distance, but the little Khan is ashamed to do so."

Dulan Khan bowed respectfully.

It has been nearly a year since Cui Che placed him in Monan. At the beginning of the period, Dulan Khan still had some thoughts of his own.

But as the construction of the Shuozhou Palace was in full swing, and more than 100,000 Tiele people were tamed by Wei Zheng, Dulan Khan finally woke up. The model of the Shuozhou Palace could be copied. Cui Che was not Yang Jian, and he wanted to attack Monan. Prairie formation is virtually controlled.

But what can he do if he is aware of Cui Che's ambition? Faced with the persecution of Qimin Khan, he can only rely on Cui Che to ensure that he will not be annexed by Qimin Khan.

Compared to working as a dog for Cui Che or being eaten to the core by Qimin, Dulan Khan chose the former after all, so he brought only a few hundred Khan guards to Jinyang. Show your sincerity to Cui Che.

Cui Che undoubtedly felt the sincerity of Dulan Khan, so he went out to meet him.

"Khan, there is no need to be polite. You and I have sworn an oath twice and are as close as flesh and blood brothers, so why bother with formalities."

Cui Che helped Dulan Khan up, and the two of them entered the door hand in hand.

During the dinner, Cui Che and Dulan Khan talked about their old friendship and drank wine.

After three drinks, Cui Che didn't give up until Yang Lihua came forward and persuaded Cui Che that there would be a grand ceremony tomorrow.

Dulan Khan left Prince Yan's Mansion and got on the carriage. The carriage drove slowly while Dulan Khan fell asleep in the carriage.

His mind wandered, and he recalled that 20 years ago, the coalition army conquered the royal court of the Western Turks, and Mohe Khan died on the battlefield.

The succession to the throne of Khan was originally an internal matter within the Eastern Turks, but Cui Che, as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, relied on his prestige in the army to promote himself to the position of Great Khan on the way to the army.

This move made Rangan, the son of Mohe Khan, who is now Qimin Khan, dissatisfied, which led to the current split of the Eastern Turks.

It also really made Dulan Khan realize Cui Che's ambition.

The ownership of the great khan of the Turkic Khanate can be determined with one word. After experiencing such a scene, how could he not covet the throne?

Dulan Khan believed that Cui Che would be an important node in the Sui Dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline. Although he admired Cui Che, he did not think that Cui Che from Yan alone could compete with the huge Sui Dynasty.

But the reality is often unexpected. Yang Liang rebelled and led Hedong's elite soldiers into the pass, allowing Cui Che to devour Hebei without any scruples. Then, in the name of rescuing Yang Liang, he annexed Hedong and quickly laid the foundation for his hegemony.

Even until Cui Che captured the entire Guandong, Dulan Khan was still fighting with Qimin Khan on the grassland, inseparable.

"Great Khan, we've arrived at Yanran Pavilion."

The confidant outside the carriage reminded.

Cui Che had previously set up the Siyi Pavilion in Jinyang to accommodate visitors from all over the world.

In today's Siyi Pavilion, only the Jinling Pavilion, which accommodates people from the south, is deserted. The other three pavilions are crowded with guests. Some of them even sent envoys to Jinyang after learning that Cui Che sent troops to Guanlong. For example,

Kumoxi, Khitan, and even Goguryeo.

They understand Cui Che's ambitions and know Cui Che's abilities.

Believing that Cui Che will be able to unify the north, he will also follow the example of those powerful ministers in history and proclaim himself the emperor and establish the country.

The reality was just as they expected.

The envoy from Goguryeo was named Yuan Taizuo, and he was the son of Yuan Ziyou, the prime minister of Molizhi, a lord from the east.

Currently living in Fusang Hall.

Yuan Taezuo had dealt with Cui Che on the battlefield. When Cui Che wanted to conquer Khitan, Yuan Taezuo followed Eulji Wende and led troops to rescue him.

Eulji Wende was defeated and wanted to commit suicide, but Yuan Taezu persuaded him.

However, when Choi Cheol captured Liaodong, Eulji Mundeok was defeated and died.

On his mission to Jinyang this time, Yuan Taizuo did not go through the Monan Grassland, but traveled all the way through Liaodong, Liaoxi, and the hinterland of Hebei to Hedong.

He was not able to go to Henan, but just seeing the wealth and prosperity in the hinterland of Hebei and Hedong made him feel powerless deep in his heart.

Yuan Taizuo remembered that Cui Che, who originally competed with Goguryeo for Liaodong, could only mobilize the power of the seven states of You, Yan, Heng, Ping, Yi, Xuan, and Ying.

Now that Cui Che controls the entire north, Yuan Taizuo cannot afford to resist.

It’s no wonder that before leaving, his father Yuan Ziyou once told him:

"Measure Goguryeo's material resources and gain the favor of King Yan."

While Cui Che was busy with the civil war, there were two reasons why Goguryeo did not invade Liaodong on a large scale.

One is the personal tendency of the powerful figure Yuan Ziyou.

When Yuan Ziyou took power, Cui Che also indirectly made great efforts, although this was not Cui Che's original intention.

As we all know, Goguryeo had four other lords besides the central government.

Cui Che attacked Liaodong, and the Northern Lords led troops to rescue the Western Lords. Both of them suffered heavy losses in the Liaodong battlefield. They were beaten by Cui Che and lost their armor and armor, and their strength was seriously damaged.

The southern forces, on the other hand, have been in decline since they lost the Han River Basin half a century ago.

Therefore, the strength of the East stands out among the four divisions and is the strongest among the four divisions.

When Cui Che started his army, the western and northern parts of Goguryeo were still licking their wounds and were unable to launch a large-scale offensive against Liaodong.

By the time they took a breather, Cui Che had already swept through Guandong like a violent storm.

At this time, Yuan Ziyou, who was the leader of the East and also served as Molizhi, kept his sense and advocated making good friends with Cui Che instead of taking advantage of Cui Che's westward expedition to send a large number of troops to regain Liaodong.

After all, Cui Che still deployed 60,000 garrison troops in Liaodong. Not to mention the Khitan, whether Ku Moxi would respond to the Liaodong garrison's request for help and intervene.

Even if Liaodong is really captured, it will be difficult to advance to western Liaoning due to the existence of Liaoze.

Once Cui Che turns around, how can Goguryeo resist? Cui Che will inevitably take revenge.

Today's Goguryeo can no longer bear Cui Che's anger.

And this is also related to the second reason: the threat of Silla in the south of the peninsula.

Since the emergence of the Hwarang system in Silla, it has been used to cultivate nobles and ensure the supply of soldiers, laying the foundation of talent for its strong national power.

The so-called Hwarang is a youth group organization of the aristocratic class, which organizes the children of the aristocracy to exercise martial arts together, instill feudal morality and promote the spirit of patriotism, and cultivate warriors who are loyal to the emperor, patriotic, brave and tenacious.

Half a century ago, Silla teamed up with Baekje to seize the upper reaches of the Han River from Goguryeo, stabbed its ally Baekje in the back, beheaded the king of Baekje, seized the lower reaches of the Han River, and took over the entire Han River Basin. After that, Silla's national power became stronger and stronger.
