I already have a Chinese army(my western Hàn army) but the rich history of this country and the differences between the armies of the various dynasties have always prompted me to develop other Chinese armies. The Song, the Wei or the Tang are all of particular interest to me (and I have long played these armies in 15mm on the rule DBM)
For several months, the Souei have attracted my attention.

The list is tactically pleasant and the troops varied. In Big Battle, it would give that:
- 3 Generals 4Kn
- 3 Sino-wei 4Kn
- 3 Chinese cavalrymen 3Kn
- 8 Pu-sing 3Pk
- 4 Pu-sing 8Bw
- 12 Pu-she Ps
- 1 Mo-ho (Mandchous) LH
- 2 Catapults Art
The composition of this list is quite free and the above proposal corresponds to my personal choice. None of my armies to this day has a similar combination. Moreover, it is very different from my Chinese army han.
Sui dynasty 隋朝
One of the shortest dynasties in Chinese history, (29 years), although of great historical importance, the Sui dynasty reigned from 589 to 618. It made it possible for the Tang Three hundred and sixty years of division, the starting point of a "New Empire." It was from the first kingdom that unification came, which would be the work of Yang-kien, the descendant of a powerful family of the " Chinese aristocracy. The latter, after having overthrown the two Nordic states, conducted an army of five hundred thousand men to the south, seized the capital of the Chen, and proclaimed the Sui dynasty. (...) The Sui dynasty is characterized by its administrative and economic work, which served as a basis for the centralized Chinese Empire of the 7th and 8th centuries: construction of a large canal to supply China with Henan and Shanxi In the Wei Valley) in rice and other products from lower Yangzi (an area of economic importance, and gigantic granaries in the Wei Valley and north-west of Henan.

The Sui dynasty emerged when the daughter of the powerful Yang Jian became Empress Dowager of the Northern Zhou, with her son-in-law occupying the throne. After crushing a military insurrection in the eastern provinces, Zhou's prime minister, Yang Jian, deposed the emperor-child and enthralled Emperor Wendi of the Sui. During the associated purge, Wendi executed no fewer than 59 princes of the royal house of the Zhou while he succeeded, by his Confucian virtues, to be posthumously named "the cultivated Emperor"(文帝 wéndi) (Wikipedia)
