On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 144
Cui Che lied that the supplies were burned by the Turks, of course he didn't want to embezzle them for himself. If there were only Boling cavalrymen present, he might try to cover it up.

But the [-] Youzhou knights hadn't returned, and he didn't think about using this batch of supplies to win them over. If someone made a mistake, the court would pursue it, and the crime would be serious.

Today's Cui Che, of course, only has Yang Jian as the sun in his heart, but now is not the time to kill insects and shoot the sun.

Cui Che allocated [-] Boling cavalry soldiers to Silu Fang Yanqian, who were responsible for burying the corpses, escorting the prisoners, and transporting the wounded and supplies back to Ji County.

Fang Yanqian arranged for people to go to Daxing to report the victory, and informed Yang Jian of his next plan: counterattack the Turks.

At the same time, Li Qing was dispatched to report to Kumoxi, claiming that all the gifts to be given to them were burned by the Turks in Yuyang County.

The news of the Battle of Yuyang will soon spread, which can also verify Cui Che's statement that the Turkic people indeed sent troops to rob these supplies.

The conflict between the Turks and Kumoxi would naturally deepen, and Cui Che didn't need to plant the seeds of the conflict between them. How could there be less conflict when they usually compete for water and pasture areas.

Fang Yanqian organized the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, Cui Che led the rest of the less than [-] cavalry to carry the dry rations that had been prepared, and Wang Dangwan was the guide to head north to search for the location of the tribe.

When fighting outside the fortress, the biggest problem is not to defeat the enemy, but how to find the enemy.

Nomads live by water and grass, without a fixed place, and the vast grasslands and deserts are very easy to lose their way. Li Guang, who was called the Marquis of Lost Road by later generations, suffered a lot from it, and finally committed suicide with hatred.

Luckily, Cui Che had Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan beside them, they were familiar with the roads, and when the ground inspector went out to plunder, it was impossible for his tribe to move in a short time. Facing a group of old and weak women and children, how could Cui Che let them go? Must come hard.

On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month in the seventh year of Emperor Kaihuang (587), Cui Che stood on a high slope and watched the Turkic tribes in chaos below. I saw that the black dragon swallowed hundreds of Turkic soldiers who stayed behind in an instant.

They killed wantonly in group tents, plundered women, children, and livestock.

War is like this, the Turkic people will not have compassion when they go south, and Cui Che will not have the benevolence of women when they go north to fight back.

"The boss has an order! Men who are taller than the shaft of the chariot will be killed!"

The cavalry who sent the order ran and shouted, and the ground inspection department had been reduced to a purgatory on earth, bloody and terrifying.

Of course, it does not include the Han Chinese who were taken captive by the Turks in the past. They shouted their Han Chinese identity one after another, which saved them from the fate of being slaughtered.

Cui Che was going to distribute all the captured Turkic women and girls to the soldiers under his command who went out with him, and he did not forget the thousand Boling cavalry who stayed in Youzhou.

The Ground Inspection Department can gather [-] cavalry, and their wives and daughters are enough for Cui Che's soldiers to divide up. There is only a difference between beauty and ugliness, and there is no question of whether they are there or not.

Zhang Wu captured a woman and dedicated it to Cui Che. According to the captives, it was Ke Dun, the little Khan's diligent inspector, that is, his wife.

Cui Che lifted the woman's chin amidst the booing of the whole army, and took a closer look. This woman's appearance was far from that of his wife and concubine, so her status was a bit more valuable.

But the Ketun of a little Khan is no match for the Northern Qi Empress, Empress Dowager Mu Xieli, Northern Zhou Empress Yuchi Chifan, Northern Zhou Empress, Empress Dowager, and Princess Yang Lihua of the Great Sui Dynasty.

"Liu Fang!"

Cui Che shouted.

Liu Fang, Sima of the general manager's office, responded loudly:
"exist!"

Cui Che pushed the woman into Liu Fang's arms, and said with a smile:

"Reward you!"

"Thank you sir for the reward!"

Liu Fang said excitedly.

Cui Che's contempt does not mean that Liu Fang is indifferent. What the ancients liked most was to take their wives and daughters after defeating the enemy.

Of course, it's not that Cui Che's vision is too high, it's because he has a mother-in-law, Dugu Jialuo, above him.

Cui Che pointed to the Turkic women who were driven together, and said to Zhang Wu and Wang Dangwan:
"Girl here, after you go back, let the two of you choose first!"

Zhang Wu and Wang Dangwan hurriedly thanked them, and then Cui Che promised to the whole army that according to the battle of Yuyang and today's meritorious service, the order of selecting the Turkic women will be decided.

For a while, the whole army cheered thunderously.

The excitement receded slightly, and the soldiers drove women, children, and livestock back to Youzhou with the heads of Turks hanging beside the saddles.

On the way, Zhang Wu asked:
"How to deal with those wolf cubs."

Cui Che turned around and glanced at the terrified Turkic teenagers, and said with a smile:

"This is my gift to the Kumoxi people!"

Liu Fang at the side looked deeply at Cui Che when he heard the words, only admiration remained in his heart.

First, the Turkic people burned the supplies to deepen the resentment of the Kumoxi people towards the Turkic people, and then gave the Turkic youths to the Kumoxi people as slaves. How could the Kumoxi people refuse it for nothing?

But the Western Turkic Apo Khan knew this, and he decided to ask the Kumoxi people to take the Turkic teenagers back, and the Kumoxi people would not give them back.

If they were subdued and returned, not to mention how Kumoxi's tribal leaders would subdue the crowd in the future, it would even arouse the Kumoxi people's resentment towards the Turks. First they burned their due supplies, and now they came to snatch the slaves presented by Cui Che.

If not, the Kumoxi people and the Western Turks will inevitably clash. With the strength of the Xi people, they are naturally no match for the Western Turks.

Liu Fang pulled out cocoons, and after analyzing the matter in detail, he even suspected that the so-called Turks going south to plunder supplies was arranged by Cui Che, but there was no evidence.

Even if he finds the evidence, he will not expose the matter. After all, Cui Che just gave him the reward of the ground inspection. How could he turn around and take revenge after receiving the favor of others for thousands of years.

Of course, it is also related to Cui Che's many party members. Jin Wang Yang Guang, official minister Su Wei, and Xinzhou governor Yang Su all made good friends with him, and there are Boling Cui and Yang Lihua behind him. When Cui Che wanted to show his favor to him, he went to tear him down.

In Ji County, when Cui Che took office, he ordered the county magistrates of the eighteen counties to nominate three scholars to Ji County for Cui Che's selection, and each of the Fifty Army Towns to select and send four sergeants.

Due to the ground inspection going south, Cui Che made the magistrates of the 54 counties no longer need to go to Ji County to report their duties, but [-] scholars and [-] soldiers had been waiting in Jicheng for a long time.

Just when everyone was getting impatient, Silu Fangyanqian led a thousand knights from Boling back to Ji County, hung the heads of Di Qincha on the tower of Jicheng, and built the heads of Turkic soldiers collected outside the city into a Jingguan , for the people of Youzhou to watch.

At the same time, the Turkic went south to attack Yuyang, was defeated by Cui Che, and the news that 5000 people were captured and beheaded spread like wildfire.

The scholars and sergeants who came to Jixian no longer dared to complain, and with the head of the Turkic people outside the city, Cui Che also achieved his wish to gain authority.
