On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 502 Arriving in Puzhou
Cui Che's Chinese and foreign mansions mainly consist of three Caos, which are the Central Bing Cao, the Foreign Bing Cao, and the Cavalry Cao.

Zhongbing Cao is in charge of the daily training and recruitment orders of 20 soldiers.

Foreign soldiers Cao governs the daily training and recruitment orders of the soldiers in various places.

As for the cavalry Cao, he is responsible for managing the horses of Chinese and foreign soldiers.

Cui Che didn't send Xu Shiji to serve in the army, but put him in the Chinese and foreign palaces for training, which also has his deep meaning.

Xu Shiji is different from Cheng Yaojin, Su Dingfang, Shen Guang and others.

Cheng Yaojin and others also defected to Cui Che's command when they were young.

The reason why they entered the ranks early is because these people are brave men.

It doesn't require too much strategy, just relying on force and taking the lead to boost morale is enough to call on the soldiers under his command to follow them to defeat the front.

But Xu Shiji is different, he is a wise general.

Smart generals and brave generals are two completely different types.

As long as brave generals respect military orders, set goals for them, and tell them clearly what to do, they can use them with confidence.

But Xu Shiji, as a wise general, is still too young. Although he has read many military books, he has no actual combat experience.

If he is really allowed to lead the army in battle, he will inevitably fall into the dilemma of talking on paper.

Even though Xu Shiji was as famous as Li Jing in later generations, he also lost battles when he was young, the most famous being the Mingzhou War, and now Cui Che's subordinate Liu Heita was beaten to the ground, only to escape with his life.

If you really use Xu Shiji as a brave general and let him charge forward, Xu Shiji's usefulness is really not as good as Cheng Yaojin, Su Dingfang, Shen Guang and others.

It's better to stay by your side, train him carefully, and allow him to participate in military discussions. As a staff officer with the army, maybe with his intelligence, he can occasionally come up with strange ideas.

Of course Xu Shiji didn't know that Cui Che had so many skills in his appointment.

Cui Che rested in Jiangzhou for two days, and set off for Puzhou with some baggage. Xu Shiji had already packed his bags and accompanied him.

Traveling to the border of Jiangzhou and Puzhou, Qin Qiong, the governor of Puzhou, has already been waiting at the border of the state.

Seeing Cui Che's carriage approaching slowly under the guard of the army, Qin Qiong patted his horse forward, turned over, and saluted:

"The last general, Qin Qiong, welcome the king."

Without Cui Che's instructions, the coachman reined in the reins and stopped the carriage in front of Qin Qiong.

Cui Che lifted the curtain of the car, stepped out of the carriage, and said with a smile:
"Shu Bao doesn't need to be polite."

After speaking, he jumped off the carriage, shook hands with Qin Qiong cordially and said:
"Shubao has guarded the border for me for several years, and he has worked hard. These years, you have really worked hard for you."

Qin Qiong smiled and said:

"Working for the King, I dare not call it hard work, I only hope that after this battle, Puzhou will not need a general to guard it again."

The implication is naturally that after this battle, Cui Che captured Kansai, and there is no need to deploy heavy troops to guard Puban to prevent enemy attacks.

Cui Che laughed loudly and said:

"Lend your auspicious words."

Cui Che and Qin Qiong exchanged greetings outside the carriage for a long time, the Guanyin servant girl in the carriage couldn't sit still anymore, and sneaked her head out from a corner of the door curtain, wanting to take a look at the scene outside.

But before he could see clearly, he was dragged back to the carriage by Gao Shi, and Gao Shi said seriously:

"You are a lady from a famous family, so don't lose your etiquette and disgrace your majesty's face in front of outsiders."

Guanyin's maid pursed her lips, and sat back on her seat unwillingly.

Until she heard Cui Che calling their mother and son to come out from outside the carriage, Guanyin's mood changed again. She supported Cui Che's hand and stepped down on the step stool.

Cui Che pointed to Gao and Guanyin's maidservant to introduce Qin Qiong's concubine and stepdaughter, and then introduced to them:
"This is Qin Shubao, whom I often mention. He has the courage of all men. He has been in charge of Puzhou for three years, and he frightens the western thieves from looking east."

Gao quickly saluted and said:
"My concubine has met the governor of Qin."

The Avalokitesvara servant girl on the side also imitated her mother's address, saluting:
"Avalokitesvara's maid pays respects to Qin Dudu."

Cui Che heard the words, stroked the small head of Guanyin servant girl, and corrected:
"What are you calling the governor of Qin? He is like a brother to his father, so he should be honored as uncle."

Taking advantage of Cui Che's inattention, Guanyin's servant stuck out her tongue and immediately changed her words.

Qin Qiong hurriedly said:
"Don't dare, don't dare."

After greeting Gao, Qin Qiong said modestly:

"Your Majesty praises that the western thieves dare not look east, not because they are afraid of Qin's name, but because the king sweeps across the Guandong like an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, making the western thieves dare not take a step across the Yellow River."

Cui Che smiled and said:

"Okay, okay, who is responsible for it, we will talk about it later, you and I ride on horseback, and talk about the current situation in Kansai."

After all, he asked Changsun Wuji to bring him a mount, and introduced Changsun Wuji to Qin Qiong by the way.

Gao and the Guanyin maid returned to the carriage, while Cui Che and Qin Qiong rode horses in front, and the team continued towards Puban. Along the way, Qin Qiong also briefly introduced the current situation in Kansai to Cui Che.

There had been conflicts between Tuyuhun and the Western Sui Dynasty before, but after Gao Jiong personally went to Longyou to meet Tuyuhun Khan, he didn't know what to say, which made Tuyuhun stop fighting.

Cui Che sneered and said:
"What else can I say? It's nothing more than a cliché."

Qin Qiong couldn't help worrying:
"Will Gao Jiong send someone to persuade Tuyuhun to send troops to intervene during the king's western expedition?"

Cui Che dismissively said:

"Tuyuhun's survival is only due to the favorable location. If they dare to go east to intervene in the war, I will let them come and go, and take the opportunity to destroy their main force. This is much easier than going to the plateau to fight thousands of miles away."

Tuyuhun is the regime established by the Murong family of Xianbei in the Qinghai Lake area. The terrain there is difficult to defend and difficult to attack. In the original time and space, Yang Guang conquered Tuyuhun. An army of 10,000+ trekked mountains and rivers. Most of the people died of freezing along the way. Before the battle, the army and horses lost Seventy-eight out of ten.

He is obviously unwilling to ask Cui Che to fight Tuyuhun now, but if Tuyuhun is overconfident and dares to give up the geographical advantage and send troops to support Yu Wenshu and others, then Cui Che will not be afraid to fight them in Kansai.

Qin Qiong nodded upon hearing this, obviously, he quite agrees with Cui Che's statement.

As the saying goes, everything has advantages and disadvantages.

Cui Che fought north and south for many years, and it can be said that the battle must be won and the attack must be conquered. It is true that the soldiers in the army are arrogant, but they never lack the confidence to overcome the enemy even in the face of fierce battles.

Qin Qiong continued to introduce the current situation in Kansai to Cui Che.

After Yang Guang moved the capital, he left his second son Qi Wang Yang Hao in the north, and took the town of Daxing as the nominal manager.

But the real power still fell in the hands of Yu Wenshu and Gao Jiong.

Yu Wenshu was in charge of the military, and Gao Jiong was in charge of political affairs, but when Cui Che entered the customs, Gao Jiong might temporarily put government affairs aside and assist Yu Wenshu in resisting the invasion of the Eastern Sui Dynasty.

Among the generals staying behind in Kansai, Cui Che also heard the name of an old acquaintance, that is Tang Guogong Li Yuan.
