On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 542 General with Double Eyes

Feng County is known as the throat of Qin and Shu and the key to northern Han Dynasty. It is the gateway to Hanchuan County.

The general guarding this place is no stranger to Cui Che, he is the heavy-eyed general Yu Juluo.

Eighteen years ago, there was a rebellion among the five religions in the south of the Yangtze River. Cui Che took the position of Chief Shi of the Palace of Marshal Yang Guang, King of Jin Dynasty, and led the troops to put down the rebellion. Yu Juluo, Shi Wansui, Mai Tiezhang and others served under Cui Che's tent.

But at that time, Cui Che valued the wheat iron staff that he lifted up with one hand.

Fortunately, when the rebellion of the Five Religions was put down, the nominal leader was Yang Guang, the king of Jin, who was the general manager of Yangzhou at the time.

Yang Guang stayed with the army throughout the early stages of the war, while Yu Juluo also had no contact with Cui Che after the war.

Therefore, after Cui Che launched his army, Yu Juluo was not regarded as Cui Che's party and was not implicated.

But Yu Juluo's life has not been comfortable these years.

He had double pupils, which in the eyes of the ancients was the appearance of an emperor, so he was jealous of Yang Guang.

Cui Che knew Yang Guang's views on Yu Juluo. When he was in Jiangnan, Yang Guang expressed his disgust to Cui Che about Yu Juluo's double pupils.

Therefore, Cui Che did not believe that Yu Juluo would really be devoted to Yang Guang, especially since his younger brother, Yu Zan, who was once an old friend of Yang Guang's mansion, had committed suicide in fear of crime.

Yuzan did not die unjustly. No wonder Yang Guang was cruel by nature and abused his subordinates. If he was not satisfied, he would blind people's eyes with bamboo sticks and cut out other people's tongues. Yang Guang could not bear to kill him, so he allowed him to be killed.

commit suicide.

But Yuzan's death had an obvious impact on the relationship between Yang Guang and Yujuluo.

This time the troops approached the city, Cui Che was not in a hurry to attack the city. Instead, he sent a messenger into the city and invited Yu Juluo to meet at the city. Each of them brought ten horsemen.

After hearing what the messenger said, Yuguluo was surprised and said:

"What! Cui Ni invited me out of the city to meet him?"

The messenger nodded repeatedly. Yu Juluo was eight feet tall and had a loud voice. Coupled with his pair of double eyes, it was indeed intimidating.

The lieutenant general who was sent by Yu Wenshu to assist in name but to monitor in reality hurriedly persuaded:

"General, Cui Ni is always good at manipulating people's hearts. He definitely has bad intentions when he invites the general out of the city this time. The general must not fall into his trap."

At the beginning, Yu Juluo was the general accompanying the army, but he saw with his own eyes how Cui Che played with the five religions' rebellious army, so there was no need for the deputy general to remind him.

Yuguluo asked someone to take the messenger down first and said to the deputy general:

"I know that when Cui Ni invited me out of the city, he must have wanted to persuade me to surrender. If I ignore it, I wonder if I can hold Feng County?"

The deputy general said in surprise:

"General, are you trying to succumb to the Yan people?"

As he spoke, his hand had already been placed on his waist. However, before the deputy general could touch the knife, Yu Juluo shook his head and said:

"I want to use the pretense of meeting Cui Ni tomorrow to launch a violent attack and take him back to the city. If I can't capture him alive, I will become a saint and kill the national traitors.

"As soon as Cui Ni dies, his son is young, and his young master is suspicious of the country, chaos will inevitably break out in Guandong. By then, the saint's Northern Expedition will surely put down the rebellion."

The deputy general thought about it carefully and felt more and more that what Yu Juluo said was reasonable. After all, Yu Juluo was known for his bravery, so it was not impossible for him to capture Cui Che.

The two agreed, and Yu Juluo called the messenger and asked him to go back and report the message to Cui Che. At dusk, the two met in an open place outside the city.

After Cui Che received the reply, he was still cautious.

Yu Juluo had been his vanguard general, so Cui Che naturally knew how brave this man was.

Therefore, he ordered ten cavalry servants, namely Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Su Dingfang, Shen Guang, Yuchi Jingde, Huang Junhan, Dou Jiande, Liu Heitai, Li Xiaogong, and Dahe Jinzhong.

At dusk, Cui Che took ten people to the meeting place agreed with Yu Juluo.

Since Yu Juluo specially chose an open place, and both of them had soldiers and horses to support them, neither one had to worry about the other party setting up an ambush.

Yu Juluo did not keep Cui Che waiting for long, and soon he came over with ten cavalrymen.

As soon as he saw the ten burly men guarding Cui Che and the armor they were wearing, even though he had never seen them before, Yu Juluo knew that these people must be powerful generals in Cui Che's army.

Just when Yu Juluo secretly sighed at Cui Che's caution, he heard Cui Che laugh loudly:

"General Yu, I haven't seen you for eighteen years, but you still recognize Mr. Cui."

Yuguluo stopped moving forward. He reined in the reins and said:

"I don't know what to call you now. If it's just to reminisce about old times, Yu thinks it's unnecessary. If you have any questions, just say so."

Cui Che shook his head helplessly:

"General Yu is still such a straightforward person, but why would you, an upright person like you, flatter the powerful and ruin your own reputation?"

There was no mockery in Cui Che's words, but a look of regret on his face, as if he was feeling sorry for Yu Juluo.

Yu Juluo's face darkened, Cui Che's words really touched his sore spot.

After the death of his younger brother Yuzan, Yujuluo knew that he was not favored by Yang Guang because of his double pupils, but he could not gouge out his eyes.

He could only try his best to please Yang Guang. He went to Daxing to report on his duties and brought back many rare things, which he wanted to present to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang refused, so Yu Juluo gave it to the dignitaries in the capital, hoping that they would put in a good word for him in front of Yang Guang.

However, Yang Guang thought that he was befriending courtiers as a general and dismissed Yu Juluo.

If not for the great war in the Central Plains, when famous generals such as Yang Yichen, Duan Wenzhen, and Yu Zhongwen died in battle, there would be no one available in the court.

Yujuluo was recommended as a guarantor by Gao Jiong, and now it is impossible for him to be re-appointed by the court as the prefect of Hechi County.

"If you invite me out of the city today just to sow discord, don't bother."

Yu Juluo snorted coldly.

Cui Che smiled and talked about another thing:

"General Yu, do you still remember the saying that 'the Li family is in high demand'?

"A mere prophecy cost the lives of the whole family of the great Sui Dynasty official (Li Mu) appointed by Emperor Gaozu, not to mention that the general had double pupils.

"Gu and Yang Guang have known each other since childhood, and I know that his superstitious belief in prophecy will definitely be detrimental to the general.

"The world is too big to accommodate a general, but he is alone. Please think twice about where the general will go."

Yu Juluo's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted:

"Stop sowing discord!"

With that said, he led ten horsemen and rode towards Cui Che.

The ten generals guarding Cui Che rushed towards him without showing any signs of weakness.

But Yu Juluo had just fought against Qin Qiong and others, and before the outcome could be decided, he stopped fighting and immediately turned his horse's head and walked back.

Qin Qiong and others chased for a short distance and saw Yu Juluo fleeing back to the formation to join his deputy general and lead the army back to the city. They had no choice but to return with regret.

However, Cui Che did not look angry. When he looked at Yu Juluo's hastily retreating back, a smile with unknown meaning appeared on his face.

Cui Che has already made some guesses about Yu Juluo's thoughts.

If Yu Juluo really wanted to attack and kill him, why would he take the initiative to rein in the reins when he came, and stop when he was still a short distance away.
