On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 320 Redeeming Women and Children
The things that are free are often the most expensive.

Especially when the majesty of the other party makes you dare not disobey, his generosity has already marked the price in secret, and you need to pay ten times or a hundred times the price afterwards.

When the Sui army took over the old nests of the Fenwen and Daji tribes, the Goguryeo people almost ate up the livestock they looted in Yingzhou. Now there is no financial resources to redeem the kidnapped women and children.

But a tribe cannot live without women, otherwise it will die out sooner or later.

After the Sui army rescued the people in Yingzhou, the chiefs of the Fenwen and Daji tribes were often troubled by this.

Until Cui Che was willing to donate generously to redeem some of the women and children for them.

The chief of the second department was grateful to Dade, bent down and knelt on the holy mountain, and swore that he would never forget his kindness throughout his life.

While Cui Che was still comforting Fenwen and Daji, another person asked Cui Che to lend a helping hand.

The chief of the Tube tribe cried and said:

"The Xi people plundered our tribe's people and animals. I dare not extravagantly hope to get back the cattle and sheep, but please have mercy on the Duke of Yan, so that the men of the Tube tribe can reunite with their wives, and the father can reunite with his children."

"Don't do that, get up quickly."

Cui Che helped the chief of the Tubian tribe up, he seemed to be in a dilemma, hesitated again and again, and sighed:

"I have always been at odds with King Xi, and I really don't want to deal with him unless it is absolutely necessary.

"But I heard that Tubian's wife and children were separated, and I couldn't bear it.

"Forget it! Even if I bow my head to King Xi for this, it's just a loss of face for me alone, and it's nothing compared to the peace of thousands of families in the Tubian tribe."

Not only the chiefs of the Tubian tribe, but also the nobles of the eight tribes of Khitan who followed Cui Che to the top of the mountain to worship, were all moved when they heard about it.

Cui Qiji knew that his grandpa was very hypocritical in front of outsiders, but he didn't expect it to reach this level.

Cui Qiji knows the true relationship between King Xi, Ahui, Lusu and Cui Che, after all, he and Ahui Geye are still Xianghuo brothers.

As for Cui Che squandering his family wealth and wooing the Khitan people, Cui Qiji didn't care too much, he could take his own fame and fortune.

Besides, Cui Che's boldness is not a matter of a day or two. In the early years, the family's expenses had to be counted on Yang Lihua's food income.

Cui Che's purpose of sacrificing Heishan has also been achieved. After experiencing this incident, Cui Che can't make up his mind for the time being what the other five tribes are thinking, but the three tribes of Fenwen, Daji, and Tubian, whether they are nobles or herdsmen, are definitely Be grateful to yourself.

You only need to fulfill your promise to them, and you can truly bring them home.

After Montenegro sacrificed to heaven, Cui Che dismissed the eight tribes of Khitan and let them go back to their pastures to recuperate.

On July 19, the 599th year of Kaihuang (28 AD), the Sui army escorted the Goguryeo captives across the Laoha River to the habitat of Kumoxi.

That night Cui Che found Ah Hui Lusu, and as soon as Ah Hui Lusu entered the tent, he complimented him:

"Little Wang congratulates Duke Yan for surrendering Khitan."

Cui Che shook his head and said:
"Now they are just afraid of my military power. If they really want to convince Khitan, they have to ask the king to help me."

Ah Hui Lusu patted his chest and said:
"If there is anything, just do what Duke Yan tells you, and Xiao Wang will definitely do it.

"If Duke Yan didn't lead us to fight here and there, Xi people would not be as prosperous as they are today. Besides, my life was saved by Duke Yan. For public and private purposes, please give Xiao Wang a chance to serve Duke Yan."

Cui Che smiled and said:

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the Department of Urology hopes to get the women and children back, and Cui plans to buy them from the king for them."

Ahui Lusu feigned anger and said:

"Duke Yan said today that he wants to redeem, isn't he humiliating Ah Hui Lusu!

"Serving Duke Yan, I am not even afraid of death, so how can I begrudge some women and children!
"Xiao Wang will send the Khitan people to Duke Yan's camp tomorrow!"

That's what he said, but Cui Che didn't know if he really thought this way in his heart. How could he accept Khitan women and children in vain? The debt of favor is the most difficult to repay. Just look at Ahui Lusu's attitude now.

Cui Che said seriously:
"The women and children of the Tubian tribe are all the king's captives. I regard the king as a lifelong friend. How can I harm the interests of my friends? Please don't insist on it. Between you and me, normal transactions are enough."

Ah Hui and Lusu couldn't hold back Cui Che, so he had no choice but to agree.

The next day, Cui Che sent envoys to the Tubian Ministry to tell them the good news.

When the chief of the Tube tribe learned about this, he was overjoyed, but he couldn't help feeling:

"I don't know what hardships Duke Yan has gone through to accomplish this."

At this time, the Sui army had returned to Yanzhou.

Cui Che disbanded the army on the spot, and Khitan was easy to obtain, but Goguryeo, which was defending the city, was not easy to deal with. It had to be fully prepared before it could take action. At least in the short term, it was difficult for Cui Che to launch the Liaodong War.

Therefore, it is better to let the soldiers go back to reunite with their families.

This trip to the fortress was to conquer Khitan, so they did not plunder, except for thousands of Goguryeo captives, and brought back nothing else.

However, the meritorious service of the soldiers had to be rewarded, but it had to wait until Yang Jian issued the edict of rewards. Cui Che could not take out the money cloth from the big warehouse outside the city on his own initiative to reward the three armies.

As for the captive Goguryeo people, all their thumbs were cut off, so that they could not hold their weapons steadily, and they were sent to military towns in various places in Youzhou to reclaim the frontier and wasteland on their behalf.

When the more than [-] cavalrymen were looking forward to rewards, Cui Che also started to buy Khitan women and children. Often groups of women and children were sent back to their tribes from Youzhou or Kumoxi.

On September 19th, the 599th year of Emperor Kaihuang ([-] A.D.), Neishi Sheren, who was ordered to proclaim the decree, finally arrived in Ji County, and it was Feng Deyi who came.

As soon as the two met, before the decree was announced, Feng Deyi sighed:
"The sage heard that Zicheng had broken the bandits, and collected all the eight tribes of Khitan. The dragon's heart was overjoyed, and he even set up a banquet in the palace to celebrate the victory from afar."

Cui Che smiled and said:

"Without the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty, how could Cui have the opportunity to go out of the fortress? All of this is due to His Majesty."

The old friends reunited and recounted their old love, Feng Deyi then announced the decree for Cui Che.

Cui Yanqing, the third son who was originally bestowed as the Duke of Anping County, is now the Duke of Anping County.

The second son, Cui Yanzong, was also named Marquis of Lecheng County.

For this, the most joyful ones are naturally the mother and son Miao Rong and Cui Yanzong.

It's just that in Cui Che's view, compared with these titles, the rewards of real gold and silver are more real.

Yang Jian gave Cui Che fifty catties of gold, three thousand pieces of silk, and five thousand sheep.

The reason why there is such a generous reward is still inseparable from the defeat in Liaodong two years ago.

The 30 army faced Goguryeo and returned in a big defeat, which undoubtedly made Yang Jian feel ashamed.

Now that Cui Che fought in Xiliaohe, severely injuring Goguryeo, and made Yang Jian feel ashamed, otherwise Yang Jian would be so excited if he only conquered the eight tribes of Khitan, and even specially held a palace banquet to celebrate.

　Today is gone, people are empty, I stayed up all night last night, and I haven’t slowed down for a day, so I will write more tomorrow.
