On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 474 Via Daizhou
The envoy of Tuyuhun failed to achieve the purpose of the mission, so he had to return angrily. After he left, Cui Che also led three elite cavalry to march northward.

Taking the Qianxiaojie Army as the front army, it was divided into four divisions and handed over to the command of four sub-generals, Su Dingfang, Shen Guang, Yuchi Jingde, and Huang Junhan.

Huang Junhan was born in the Huang family of Jiangxia, and his ancestors moved to Henan.

His father, Huang Cha, used to be the governor of Bianzhou. When Cui Che entered the Central Plains, Huang Cha was persuaded by the Zheng family in Xingyang to surrender the state to the Eastern Sui Dynasty. He was changed to the governor of Weizhou and transferred to Hebei.

Huang Junhan, who was 27 years old at the time, defected to Cui Che's command. At first, he served as a follower. After being tested by Cui Che for military arts and martial arts, he was also appointed as the second general by the former army.

Cui Che is quite familiar with Huang Junhan in history. He spent half his life as a soldier, and was finally conferred the title of Duke of Guo by the Tang Dynasty for his military exploits.

Cui Che naturally did not hesitate to promote such a future famous general, but when Huang Junhan first joined the army, the soldiers all thought that Huang Junhan was valued by Cui Che now because he was only relying on his father's kindness.

However, Huang Junhan himself is a brave general. When Yang Guangdong conquered Goguryeo, he was rewarded for his achievements in ascending first.

With his superb martial arts skills, Huang Junhan was just like Yuchi Jingde, who had just entered the barracks, and he defeated a group of arrogant soldiers, and the controversy in the army was over.

Following the Qianxiaojie Army was the Boling Cavalry, led by Cui Che himself, and the Silver Saddle Khitan Straight Cavalry Archers were at the end.

The Boling cavalrymen are becoming more and more popular with the imperial guards. Of course, there is no team more suitable for protecting their own safety than this family soldier team formed by Cui Che.

Huang Junhan rode on horseback and walked in front of the team. He looked solemn and serious.

This is not the first time Huang Junhan has experienced the tense atmosphere before the war. When Cui Che went south, he organized the Xiangyong to help his father defend Bianzhou, but before the war started, his father surrendered the city.

Now that he is going into battle again, but he is going to fight abroad, this makes Huang Junhan extremely excited, but he is just putting on a straight face.

He and Shen Guang are both warriors who dare to go to the top of the city first and fight to the death with the enemy, so how could they be stage fright before the battle.

When the army arrived in Daizhou, Mai Tiezhang was already waiting outside the city, when he saw Cui Che's car driving from a distance, Mai Tiezhang left his entourage and rode forward to meet him alone.

When he came to the stopped carriage, Mai Tiezhang got off his horse, bowed his head and said:
"Mai Tiezhang, the last general and governor of the state, pays homage to the king and respectfully greets you."

Cui Che lifted the door curtain and blamed:

"Su Gong, the word Sheng'an cannot be used indiscriminately."

After Cui Che entered Jinyang, Mai Tiezhang was granted the title of Duke Su, so he was called Duke Su.

It's just that although Cui Che blamed it, his tone didn't show the slightest anger. Mai Tiezhang said carelessly:
"The king is a saint in the heart of the general. Why can't the word Sheng'an be used?"

Thinking that Mai Tiezhang was poor in his early years, he had to become a thief, and later he carried an umbrella for the empress of Nanchen.

Fortunately, the prodigal son never changed his mind, and after he changed his mind, he was appreciated by the King of Yan. Since the founding of the emperor ten years ago, when the chaos of the five religions in the south of the Yangtze River was quelled, he has been following Cui Che all the time.

Now not only is he the Duke of the state, but his eldest son, Mai Mengcai, is the son-in-law of the Cui family, and now succeeds Cui Yanqing as the governor of Xiangzhou.

The second son, Mai Zhongcai, and the third son, Mai Jicai, were also kept by Cui Che's side as personal attendants, and their future prospects were also limitless.

The family's wealth has reached such a level, what else can they be dissatisfied with.

Cui Che's kindness to Mai Tiezhang can be said to be as great as a mountain, and Mai Tiezhang's gratitude is even more indescribable. He always has the ambition to repay him, even if he is asked to die, Mai Tiezhang will not frown.

That is to say, Cui Che still needs the little emperor in Jinyang City to set up the archway, otherwise, as long as he gives an order, Mai Tiezhang will not be afraid to bear the notoriety of regicide in the slightest.

Seeing that Mai Tiezhang was unwilling to change his words, Cui Che didn't force him, but shook his head and smiled wryly:

"You, you, that's all, get up quickly."

After Mai Tiezhang got up, he said with a smile:
"The final general has already prepared meals for the king in the city, and invited the king to enter the city to rest."

Seeing that Cui Che nodded in agreement, Mai Tiezhang took the reins from the coachman, and the dignified Su Guogong started to work as a coachman, pulling the carriage for Cui Che.

Cui Che refused:
"Gu Zhi Su Gong respects and loves me, Yu Gong, you have followed Gu for many years, and your loyalty is known to all the world, Yu private, you are the father-in-law of the king, why do you need to lead a horse to express it.

"Now that Zhongcai and Jicai are behind, you should go and reunite with them first. Their brothers often talk about their father-in-law with Gu on weekdays."

Mai Tiezhang put down the reins as he said, and bid farewell to Cui Che. It was not only Mai Zhongcai and Mai Jicai who missed their father and brother, but Mai Tiezhang also missed his sons day and night.

After Mai Mengcai married Cui Che's eldest daughter, Cui Wenhui, Mai Zhongcai and Mai Jicai also got married successively. They were both daughters of the third wife of the Cui family in Boling, and Cui Che made coal for them.

Of course, what made Mai Tiezhang even more delighted was the letter from his eldest son Mai Mengcai some time ago, saying that Cui Wenhui gave birth to a son, and the mother and child are safe.

And Cui Che, who became a grandfather, was also in a good mood. The army camped outside the city, and only his personal followers followed Cui Che into the city.

This move is also to show his trust in Mai Tiezhang.

In the city, Cui Che drank heavily with Mai Tiezhang and the generals in the army, enjoyed dancing and music together, got drunk, and returned to the barracks late at night after exhausting his enthusiasm.

The next day, Cui Che left Mai Zhongcai and Mai Jicai in Daizhou, and asked them to temporarily stay beside Mai Tiezhang to fulfill their filial piety, and then return to Jinyang together on the day when he is a teacher.

And Mai Tiezhang's request to accompany the army was also rejected by Cui Che. Although the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, but plundering some old and weak women and children is not a decisive battle between the two armies, and there is no need to deploy more troops.

Since Cui Che seized Hedong, Mai Tiezhang has been sitting in Daizhou. Qimin Khan is busy with the civil war in Eastern Turks and has no time to look south. Cui Che also focused on the domestic war before, and Mai Tiezhang was forbidden to start arbitrarily provoking border disputes, distracting him from the situation in northern Xinjiang.

Mai Tiezhang regarded himself as a warrior, and when he met Cui Che, he was always a low-level general, but these few years, he was really a civil servant, and he almost didn't get sick from boredom.

However, even though his duties were unsatisfactory, Mai Tiezhang was not bad at all. He was a studious person. When he came to Daizhou, he humbly asked his staff about the laws and regulations. With his unremitting efforts, Daizhou was governed and thieves disappeared.

He really did it, from an illiterate rough man and thief to an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs who is on the horse and leading the army, and dismounting from the horse to calm the people.

His deeds were also set as an example by Cui Che, who called on all officials to learn from him.
