On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 571
Maybe it was the last time he went to the court to report on his duties, Cui Qiji pretended to be a business traveler, and gained a lot. Not only did he eradicate a group of moths attached to the business traveler, but he also got the praise of his father Cui Che.

This time, Cui Qiji, Crown Prince of Great Yan, also slowed down his itinerary. Along the way, he staged a lot of private visits in micro-services to eliminate harm for the people.

When Cui Che got the news, he would not urge Cui Qiji.

He will not think that his prince has left a good name among the people, so he will be jealous.

After all, no matter how great the reputation among the people is, it can't threaten his father's throne. Cui Che's taboo is to make friends with generals in the army without telling him.

Cui Qiji returned to Jinyang very late, it was already late February. Even Cui Yanzong, who was far away in Liaodong, had already returned to Beijing under the imperial edict, and was sent to Qingzhou by Cui Che to monitor Henan Road. The two brothers met on the way .

Cui Yanqing, who was originally in Dingzhou and was even closer, had already arrived in Yong County, handed over power to Pei Ji, the governor of Qizhou, and became the inspector of Guannai Road and the governor of Qizhou.

As for the original governor of Qizhou, Pei Ji, he was appointed by Cui Che as the long history of King Yong, assisting Cui Yanqing in governing Qizhou and supervising Guannei Road.

After Cui Che learned about Cui Qiji's itinerary, he specially took Yang Lihua and Cui Youzhi out of the city to greet him.

Cui Youzhi was raised by his grandparents since he was a child, and his days with Cui Qiji were numbered. Now that the father and son met, Cui Youzhi hid behind his grandfather Cui Che, secretly looking at his father who was saluting his grandfather.

Cui Che pulled Cui Youzhi in front of him, and said with a smile:
"This is your father, why are you so afraid of life?"

Cui Youzhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and salute his father and mother.

As soon as Crown Princess Yang saw her longing son, her eyes became moist. Although she was pregnant with Liujia now, she did not lessen her longing for her eldest son.

After Cui Qiji helped Cui Youzhi up, the Crown Princess couldn't wait to hold her son in her arms, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Seeing this scene, Yang Lihua felt the deepest emotion.

If she didn't have her grandson by her side, she really didn't know how she would survive the life of only seeing her son once a year.

Yang Lihua held Cui Qiji's hand tightly, choked up and said:
"In the future, the family will be able to reunite without having to suffer the pain of separation."

Cui Che coughed dryly at the side, and quickly changed the topic. He also planned to take Cui Youzhi on a tour of Hebei.

The honor guard returned to the city. Following Cui Qiji back to Jinyang were former Xuzhou general manager Sima Li Mi and many other staff.

Among them, almost all were left in the East Palace, but Li Mi and Du Ruhui, who arrived in Jinyang ahead of schedule, were transferred away from Cui Qiji's side.

Li Mi was sent out as the governor to practice in the local area, while Du Ruhui was promoted to Zuo Cheng of the Shangshu because of his achievements in assisting Cui Qiji in governing Xuzhou, and was promoted to the fourth rank, assisting Fang Xuanling of the Shangshu Ling.

As for the important staff members of the Eastern Palace, such as Prince Xima, Zhan Shi, etc., Cui Che delegated all the power to Cui Qiji and asked him to recruit himself. Only the prince who was in charge of the Eastern Palace's guards was directly appointed and dismissed by Cui Che.

In the imperial city, Cui Che does not allow the emergence of military forces that are not under his control. After all, the lesson of Yang Guang's crown prince controlling Renshou Palace is close at hand.

After Cui Qiji moved into the East Palace, Cui Che also began to make preparations for a tour of Hebei. Since he had previously issued an edict to exempt all localities from renting land for a year, this year's treasury revenue will inevitably drop sharply.

Cui Che didn't plan to make a big battle, but only planned to take [-] elite riders for a trip.

At the same time, he also conveyed his will to all states and counties, forbidding local officials to offer rare treasures and waste money and people.

When Jinyang City was in full swing to prepare for the first tour of Emperor Dayan, Mai Tiezhang also led the army through the Hexi Corridor and arrived in Zhangye in the distant Longyou Road.

After a few months, the Yan army came to the city again. Master Yin on the top of the city looked at the Yan flags, gritted his teeth, and clenched his hands into fists.

Apparently, news of Cui Che's founding of the country and proclaiming himself emperor has reached Zhangye.

However, Master Yin's incompetence and rage cannot make Cui Che feel the pain.

Instead, Mai Tiezhang sent some knights to gallop outside the city, shouting loudly:
"Only punish the masters of Yin, and those who surrender will not be guilty; if you resist stubbornly, you will die and your family will perish!"

Before the arrival of the Yan army, Yin Shishi had been using Li Yuan's death to intimidate Zhangye's soldiers and civilians, saying that Cui Che would definitely massacre the city to vent his hatred.

But at the beginning, Yin Shishi had an internal response in Li Yuan's army, and Yan Dynasty also had a subtle infiltration in Zhangye.

How could Master Yin's tricks be fooled by Mai Tiezhang.

"The Yan thieves are trying to trick you. If they open the city gate and they turn their backs and deny you, you will have no choice but to watch them rob your property and insult your wives and daughters!"

Yin Shishi shouted hoarsely on the city wall, but Yin Shishi himself had no idea how many people would believe him.

At this time, at that time, when Li Yuan led the army to attack, Cui Che had not yet occupied Hanzhong, and Yu Wenshu could send troops from Hanzhong to Longyou, which gave Zhangye the courage to follow the Yin Shishi to defend the city.

But now, with the successive fall of the three counties of Hanchuan, Xicheng, and Fangling, Zhangye has become an isolated city in the north of the Sui Dynasty. Last time, Li Yuan was lucky enough to be killed, and Mai Tiezhang came again, and he fought desperately to drive away Mai Tiezhang , there will inevitably be other generals leading the army.

There are few people in Zhangye. Facing a behemoth like the Yan Dynasty and resisting with an isolated city, the morale of the defenders can be imagined.

Before the arrival of Mai Tiezhang, Yin Shishi had already kept his clothes on and his sword on his body, lest he would be betrayed by his subordinates.

However, no matter how the Yin Shishi guarded against him, how he refuted the sentry cavalry of the Yan army outside the city, and threatened the people in the city.

After Mai Tiezhang came to the city and let the knights make that promise, someone would always take the risk.

After all, no one can guarantee that no one will choose to believe in Yan Jun's conscience while he firmly believes in Yin Shishi's statement.

The civil strife broke out on the night of Mai Tiezhang's arrival.

Mai Tiezhang ordered Xue Ju to lead his troops to attack the southern city overnight, and Yin Shishi led the direct line troops and personally commanded them.

But the other three city gates that he couldn't care about had already been secretly opened, waiting for the Yan army to kill them.

The secret operations that infiltrated Zhangye City were not only about spying on information, but also had the task of winning over the local wealthy families.

Yin Shishi was determined to die for the Great Sui Dynasty, but how could these rich people be willing to accompany him all the way to the dark when they saw no hope.

After receiving Mai Tiezhang's promise, they have been waiting for Mai Tiezhang to send troops to feint in the south to attract the attention of Master Yin and his descendants, and take the opportunity to let the Yan army enter through the remaining three gates.

At this time, outside the south gate, only Xue Ju's Lanzhou government soldiers feigned an attack, and the torches behind them were just tied to wood to confuse Yin Shishi.

Mai Tiezhang asked Zhangye's wealthy family to open three gates, but he didn't tell them which side he was going to enter the city from, because he was also worried that he would be ambushed.

However, the answer will soon be revealed.

The huge movement caused by the Yan army rushing into the city from the north gate of Zhangye resounded through the night sky.
