Chapter 531
In ancient times, especially during wars, it was extremely difficult to get in touch with separated family members.

That's why Du Fu has the feeling of "the beacon fire lasts for three months, and the family letter is worth ten thousand gold".

In order to avoid suspicion, Gao Shilian did not dare to take the initiative to contact his younger sister Gao Shi, but Gao Shilian did not know where his elder brother Gao Shilian was now.

Otherwise, even if it annoyed Cui Che, she would cry and beg Cui Che to save her brother.

There is no doubt that the relationship between their brothers and sisters is excellent.

In the original time and space, Gao Shilian was demoted to Lingnan. He worried that his younger sister, who had been kicked out by his stepson, would not be able to rely on him, so he sold his big house and replaced it with a small yard to accommodate his younger sister.

And distributed the rest of the money to his mother and younger sister, and took up the post by himself.

Of course Cui Che knew about the friendship between their brothers and sisters. Gao often mentioned in front of Cui Che how kind his elder brother was to him when he was a teenager. Naturally, he hoped that Cui Che could help her inquire about Gao Shilian.

After arriving in Guanzhong, Cui Che secretly sent people to Zhongnan Mountain where Gao Shilian lived in seclusion, only to find out that Gao Shilian had committed himself to Qiu He's tent.

At that time, Mrs. Gao was taking care of the sick Guanyin servant girl in the rear, Cui Che didn't have time to inform her, so she forgot about it.

Cui Che didn't mention it until he heard that Tuyuhun sent troops to Longyou to besiege Tianshui, lest Gao would be worried.

At this time, Cui Che had already been lurking twenty miles north of Tianshui City, waiting for the night to fall.

Previously, Cui Che used binoculars to watch Tuyuhun attacking the city in the dark. From the perfunctory attitude of the soldiers, it can be understood that the patience of the Tuyuhun people has almost worn out.

Murong Fuyun besieged the city for a long time, and as Qiu He thought, Cui Che, Yu Wenshu and others were fighting for Daxing, and there was no time to divide their troops. These Tuyuhun people had already lost their vigilance.

All Cui Che needed to do was to give them a thunderous blow at night when they were fast asleep.

Qiu He was also planning to act in the middle of the night. At this time, the night had already fallen, and the perfunctory Tuyuhun soldiers had already retreated to the camp.

Qiu He and more than a hundred cavalrymen were already waiting at the north gate. In the middle of the night, when the Tuyuhun people were in the deepest sleep and the sentry cavalry were most tired, they rushed out and fled northward, first to Qingshui and then to Longguan. .

It was dark, and while Qiu He was waiting anxiously, Gao Shilian walked over with a jar of wine.

"Qiu Gong, before we leave, can we have a drink with Gao."

Gao Shilian laughed.

Qiu He didn't have the consciousness of not drinking and riding a horse, and riding a horse without drinking, so he got off his horse and drank three glasses with Gao Shilian.

After having fun, he dropped the wine bowl on the ground, and Qiu He said:

"The people of Tianshui will all be entrusted to Shi Lian. I will travel all day and night to Daxing, and ask the King of Yan for help. I dare not delay for a moment."

But when he said these words, even Qiu He himself didn't believe it. With the food in the city now, how could it be possible for him to go back and forth between Tianshui and Daxing.

Qiu He showed shame, Gao Shilian shook his head and said:
"You don't need to feel guilty, Duke Qiu. If Duke Qiu is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he would have sacrificed his city to Tuyuhun early on, how could he persist until now.

"What's more, breaking out of the encirclement and asking for help is a narrow escape, and it is no safer than staying in the city.

"The food and grass in the city are almost exhausted. Duke Qiu risked his life to break out of the siege, instead of being willing to be a captive of the foreign bandits in order to survive. What a shame."

Qiu He was very relieved when he heard this::

"In this life, Qiu has done the most correct thing, which is to go to Zhongnan Mountain and invite Shi Lian to join him.

"It's a blessing to have a confidant in life! I hate that I can't be with you for a long time!"

At the north gate, the two chatted about the past when they governed Tianshui County together, and the hardships of being determined to defend the city. Before they knew it, the time had come to the middle of the night.

Qiu He sat on the horse again and said reluctantly:

"Let's say goodbye today. I don't know if there will be a day of reunion. Gao Jun cherishes it."

"I hope Mr. Qiu will take care of you and have a safe journey."

Gao Shilian also bid farewell to Qiu He.

Just as Qiu He turned his horse's head and was about to order the opening of the city, and was about to rush out of Tianshui with more than a hundred knights, suddenly a soldier on the city wall shouted towards the city:
"Something has happened! The camp of the Tuyuhun people has been robbed, and they are setting fire everywhere!"

The sight of the people was blocked by the towering city walls, and they couldn't see the scene outside the city at all, but everyone was ecstatic.

It can't be that the Tuyuhun people direct and act on their own, and burn the camp for fun.

"Reinforcements must be coming!"

Qiu He said excitedly.

Gao Shilian also couldn't hide his joy:
"That's right! Tianshui is saved!"

The hundreds of cavalrymen who were about to follow the hill and break out were also cheering happily. If given a choice, who would really abandon their family and survive alone.

Qiu He and Gao Shilian climbed up the city wall quickly, only to see the direction of the Tuyuhun camp bursting into the sky.

In the night, the cavalrymen held their torches high, like countless galloping fire dragons, rampaging through the camp, no one could stop them.

"Where did the reinforcements come from?"

It was too dark and the distance was too far, Qiu He couldn't see the banners and standards of the reinforcements, he murmured.

But the ecstasy in his heart never weakened.

Regardless of whether it was the Yan army or the Sui army who came, at least Tianshui would be able to avoid the torment of Tuyuhun.

Gao Shilian said firmly:
"It must be King Yan!"

After Yang Guang took away the Xiaoguo Army, there was no such large-scale cavalry in Kansai.

Attacking the camp at night is the old line of the Yan army, and the Yinan Khitan lacks experience in this area. For the pre-accounting army and the Boling cavalry, what should they do? Overripe in the chest.

Da He Jinzhong, Li Hao and other Khitan cavalry generals closely followed Su Dingfang, Shen Guang, Yuchi Jingde and others, trampling the Tuyuhun camp back and forth together, setting fires in an organized manner, and also searching for all the enemies that might be gathering , to disperse them in one fell swoop.

Even Xu Shiji and Li Xiaogong also joined in this battle, Cui Che could be said to give everything he had, only keeping Li Xiuning and five hundred personal guards by his side, watching the battle with him from a high place.

The panicked Tuyuhun people had already dispersed, and under the night attack of more than [-] elite cavalry, they could not organize any resistance.

When they let down their vigilance, thinking that no one would rescue Tian Shui and underestimated the defense of the camp, it was already doomed.

Murong Fuyun witnessed all this, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth:
"Cui Che!"

Murong Fuyun still can't figure out why Cui Che gave up Daxing and divided his troops.

Doesn't he know that as long as Cui Che can successfully capture Guanzhong, even though he wants to occupy Longyou, he doesn't dare to confront him head-on, and will retreat after looting Longyou!

At that time, the two families will get married and form an alliance forever. After Cui Che unifies the north, can't he wholeheartedly prepare to take over Jiangnan!
Why isn't he afraid that he holds a grudge, and there will be no peace in Longyou ever since!
