On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 215 Double Eyes and Fast Legs

'The monster from Boling Anping set off from Daxing.'

'The unspeakable man-eating devil has boarded the ship in Xinye.'

"The despicable and shameless wife thief commanded the Jiangling Prefecture soldiers in Hankou."

'Cui Che led the army into the Yangtze River and went down the river.'

"The Duke of Yan traveled a thousand miles with each passing day, and was getting closer and closer to Yangzhou."

'The hero who fought against the Turks will arrive in Guangling today where he has never set foot.'

The people of Yangzhou paid close attention to Cui Che's itinerary.

With everyone in the south of the Yangtze River rebelling, people in Guangling City across the river were panicked.

When King Yang Jun of Qin could not calm people's hearts, many people even planned to respond to the Jiangnan rebellion, but all of this disappeared with the arrival of Cui Che.

King Qin Yang Jun, who came to greet Cui Che, looked gloomy, as if he were mourning for his heir.

Cui Che and Cui Hongdu greeted him one after another and arrived at the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion. There were no outsiders. Cui Che said seriously:

"The king was able to report to the court in a timely manner without concealing anything. The saint was very happy.

"But the king failed to supervise his duties and handled the situation improperly, which caused chaos in Jiangnan, and the saint did not like it."

Yang Jun had a look of sincerity and fear on his face and quickly confessed, but he felt very helpless because he had taken the blame.

This rebellion was clearly about forcing the people to recite the "Five Religions", which made all classes in Jiangnan resentful of the imperial court, so they rebelled.

Although "The Five Religions" was written by Su Wei, it came from Yang Jian's instruction, and it was Yang Jian who ordered it to be forcibly indoctrinated by Jiangnan officials.

Having said that, how could the sage of the Sui Dynasty be wrong? It must have been the mishandling of Qin Wang Yang Jun, who was the general manager of Yangzhou and the governor of the forty-four states at that time, and forced the people of Jiangnan to rebel.

After all, Yang Jun cannot be said to be completely blameless. He did not discover in time the public's aversion to the recitation of the "Five Religions". At least one oversight cannot be avoided.

But Yang Jun felt that he was wronged. Nowadays, who cares what the mud-legged people think.

Fortunately, Yang Jian also believed that Yang Jun was innocent, so he just ordered Cui Che to give a warning, and made Yang Jun responsible for the crime, but there was no actual punishment.

After scolding his son for Yang Jian, Cui Che asked again what the situation in Jiangnan was now, but Yang Jun didn't know anything about it.

Seeing his confused look, even Cui Hongdu, the brother-in-law, sighed in his heart, hating that iron could not become steel.

Seeing that Yang Jun really turned a blind eye to Jiangnan's situation, Cui Che didn't waste any more time with him and immediately said goodbye.

On the way to Yangzhou, Yuchi Chifan had suffered from morning sickness, and was now placed in a temporary residence in Guangling City by Cui Che, under the care of the accompanying maid.

Cui Che went to visit Yuchi Chifan at his residence, and then hurried to the camp outside the city.

The commander's tent has been set up long ago. Cui Che raised the tent and gathered his generals.

Before Cui Che arrived, many generals had already arrived ahead of Cui Che.

The reason why they were not greeted at the city gate was naturally because Cui Che told them to take good care of the army and there was no need to greet them.

Among the important generals in the commander's account, in addition to Cui Hongdu, the general manager of Jiangling, there are also Kaifu Yi and Sansi Yujuluo, who are ranked fourth in rank.

Shi Wansui, Lai Huer and others were still on their way to Guangling.

Cui Che looked at Yu Juluo carefully and couldn't help but marvel at his gesture.

Yu Juluo is eight feet tall and has double pupils. In "The Legend of Xing Tang", he is Yu Wen Chengdu's master. He avenges his disciples and kills Li Yuanba with a knife trick in Tongguan. However, he is attacked by two phoenixes and shoots an arrow.

Shoot to death.

Of course, this is just a novel, and the real cause of Yu Juluo's death still lies in those double pupils.

Double pupils refer to the presence of two pupils in one eye, which is considered to be a symptom of early cataracts in modern medicine.

But in ancient times, it was a symbol of a saint and was considered the image of an emperor.

Although the killing of Li Yuanba is a fiction, Yu Juluo is indeed very physically strong. Even when he bowed to Cui Che just now, his voice was loud and clear, like the sound of a bell.

Yu Juluo was not surprised by Cui Che's surprise. In the past thirty years of his life, anyone he met for the first time would always act like this.

At first, Yu Juluo would still worry about this. He did not have the destiny of an emperor, but he had the appearance of an emperor. This would make it difficult for everyone to sleep and eat, especially nowadays, the saint is also the master of male guessing.

But after all these years, nothing happened, so I let go of my worries.

"General Yu is truly a rare man with an outstanding appearance."

Cui Che sighed.

Yuguluo cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you for the compliment from Duke Yan."

Cui Che did not continue to pay attention to the twin pupils in Yu Juluo's eyes, but asked:

"General Yu arrived before me. Do you know the real situation in Jiangnan?"

"Juluo did not dare to cross the river without permission from Duke Yan."

Perhaps it was his special appearance that made Yu Juluo be cautious when dealing with his superiors.

Don't dare to make arrogant opinions on anything, for fear of being accused of being arrogant.

It was this caution that prevented him from being unjustly killed because of his appearance during Yang Jian's reign.

Cui Che looked at everyone in the tent again and asked:

"I want to send people across the river to Sanwu to investigate the details. Who can take on this important task for me?"

All the generals looked at each other and did not dare to answer.

Going deep behind enemy lines was full of dangers, and it was difficult to send news back. Even if they didn't go there in person and just sent their soldiers, if the effort was in vain and Cui Che's time was wasted, the blame would still fall on himself.

When there was silence in the tent, a primary school student came out and responded:

"The last general is willing to share the worries of Duke Yan and go to Sanwu personally to investigate the enemy's situation!"

Cui Che did not agree immediately, because the junior high school students were too tall and powerful.

As we all know, when engaging in underground work, it is better to be ordinary-looking.

If you let this junior high school student cross the river, I'm afraid he'll be captured as soon as he reaches Sanwu.

However, it was not easy for someone to take the initiative to volunteer, but it could not dissuade the other party's enthusiasm. Cui Che asked his name and official position, and the principal replied:

"Mai Tiezhang, a humble official from Shixing (Shaoguan, Guangdong), is temporarily appointed as the township regiment school captain."

Hearing him announcing his family status, Cui Che finally remembered this person. He took a look at Mai Tiezhang's long legs and thought to himself: It turns out that he is Mai Tiezhang who can walk as fast as flying and can travel five hundred miles a day.

In his early years, Mai Tiezhang was a thief in Lingnan, was captured by the government, and was punished as a slave.

Later, because of his tall stature and powerful appearance, he was sent to hold an umbrella for his ex-husband, Chen Shubao.

It is said that after Chen Shubao retired from the court, he often walked more than a hundred miles from Jiankang to Jingkou to act as a thief, scaled the city wall, robbed homes and houses, and then walked back to Jiankang and continued to hold an umbrella for Chen Shubao the next day.

Because it was so sensational, even though the Mai Tiezhang was identified by more than ten owners, no one believed that someone could really travel between Jiankang and Jingkou in such a short period of time. Officials believed that he had sufficient alibi. , thus repeatedly escaping responsibility.

Later, Cai Zheng, the official secretary of the Southern Chen Dynasty, came up with a way to offer a hundred gold reward to recruit people who could deliver the imperial edict to the governor of Southern Xuzhou. Mai Tiezhang didn't know it was a trap, but he actually applied for the job and went back and forth within the time limit. Finally, the truth came out Dabai.

It was just that Cai Zheng felt pity for his bravery and swiftness, so he did not punish him.
