Chapter 542
Known as the throat of Qin and Shu and the key to Hanbei, Feng County is the gateway to Hanchuan County.

Cui Che is no stranger to the general guarding this place, and he is the general Yu Juluo with double pupils.

Eighteen years ago, the five religions in the south of the Yangtze River rebelled. Cui Che took the post of Marshal Shi of Jin Wang Yang Guang and led the army to quell the rebellion. Yu Juluo, Shi Wansui, Mai Tiezhang and others served under Cui Che's tent.

It's just that Cui Che paid more attention to the wheat iron stick that he pulled up with one hand.

Fortunately, the rebellion of the Five Religions was suppressed, and the nominal coach was Jin Wang Yang Guang, who was then the general manager of Yangzhou.

Yang Guang was with the army throughout the early stage of the war, and Yu Juluo had no contact with Cui Che after the war.

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

But these years have not been comfortable for all the fish.

He has double pupils, which in the eyes of the ancients, is the appearance of an emperor, so Yang Guang is suspicious of him.

Cui Che was aware of Yang Guang's views on Yu Juluo. When he was in Jiangnan, Yang Guang had expressed to Cui Che his dislike for Yu Juluo's double pupils.

Therefore, Cui Che did not believe that Yu Juluo would really give up on Yang Guang, especially when his younger brother, Yu Zan, who was the old man of Yang Guangfan's mansion, had committed suicide in fear of crime.

Yu Zan didn't die because of injustice, no wonder Yang Guang, this man was cruel and abused his subordinates, if he didn't like it, he would blind people's eyes with bamboo sticks and cut off their tongues, Yang Guang couldn't bear to kill him, so he allowed others to kill him suicide.

However, the death of Yuzan has an obvious impact on the relationship between Yang Guang and Yujuluo.

This time when soldiers approached the city, Cui Che was not in a hurry to attack the city, but sent messengers into the city to invite Yu Juluo to meet under the city, and the two of them each brought ten cavalry.

After hearing the messenger's report, Yu Juluo said in surprise:
"What! Cui Ni invited me out of town?"

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

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

"General, Cui Ni is a man who is used to manipulating people's hearts. This time he invites the general out of the city. He definitely has bad intentions. The general must not fall for his tricks."

Yu Juluo was the general accompanying the army back then, but he had witnessed how Cui Che played with the rebellious army of the Five Religions, so he didn't need a lieutenant to remind him.

Yu Juluo asked people to take the messenger down first, and said to the lieutenant general:

"I know that Cui Ni invited me out of the city this time because he must want to persuade me to surrender. If I ignore it, how dare I ask if I can hold Feng County?"

The deputy general said in surprise:
"Could it be that General, you want to submit to the Yan people!"

As he said that, he put his hands on his waist, but before the lieutenant general touched the saber, Yu Juluo shook his head and said:

"I want to take advantage of tomorrow's meeting with Cui Ni to make a violent attack and take him back to the city. If he can't be captured alive, he will be a sage and punish the country's traitors.

"Once Cui Ni dies, his son is young, and the master of the country is suspicious, and there will be chaos in Kanto. At that time, the saint's northern expedition will surely put down the rebellion."

The deputy general thought about it carefully, and felt that Yu Juluo's words were more and more reasonable. After all, Yu Juluo was known for his bravery, and it was not impossible that he would be able to capture and kill Cui Che.

The two agreed, and Yu Juluo summoned the messenger to report 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 used to be his vanguard general, Cui Che naturally knew how brave this person was.

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

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

Because of the open space that Yu Juluo specially chose, and both of them had soldiers and horses behind them, neither of them had to worry about the other party setting up an ambush.

Yu Juluo didn't keep Cui Che waiting for a long time, and soon he rushed over with ten cavalry.

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

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

"General Yu, I haven't seen you in 18 years, but I still know Cui."

Yu Juluo stopped moving forward, he reined in and said:

"I don't even know how to address you now. If it's reminiscing about the old days, Yu thinks it's unnecessary. If you have anything to say, just say it bluntly."

Cui Che shook his head helplessly:

"General Yu still has such a straightforward temper, but you are such an upright person, why do you want to curry favor with the powerful and ruin your reputation?"

There was no irony in Cui Che's words, but regret on his face, as if he was feeling sorry for everyone.

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

After his younger brother Yu Zan died, Yu Juluo knew that he was not liked by Yang Guang because of his double pupils, but he couldn't dig them out.

I can only try my best to please Yang Guang, go to Daxing to report to the court, bring back many rare things, and want to dedicate them to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang didn't accept it, so Yu Juluo donated it to the dignitaries in Beijing, hoping that they could speak well for him in front of Yang Guang.

However, Yang Guang believed that he was making friends with courtiers as a general and dismissed Yu Juluo.

If it weren't for the famous generals such as Yang Yichen, Duan Wenzhen, and Yu Zhongwen who died in the battle in the Central Plains, no one in the court would be available.

Yu Juluo was also recommended by Gao Jiong as a guarantor, and now it is impossible to be reappointed by the court as the prefect of Hechi County.

"If you invited me out of the city today just to sow discord, you don't have to worry about it."

Yu Juluo snorted coldly.

Cui Che smiled and talked about another thing:

"General Yu, do you still remember the saying 'Li Shi Dangxing'?
"Just a prophecy killed the whole family of the number one hero of the Sui Dynasty (Li Mu) handpicked by Gaozu, not to mention that the general had a pair of pupils.

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

"The world is so big that there is only one person who can accommodate the general. Please think twice about where the general will go."

Yu Juluo's expression changed suddenly, and he shouted loudly:
"Don't sow discord!"

After speaking, he led ten cavalry servants and rode their horses to kill Cui Che.

The ten generals who guarded Cui Che stepped forward without showing any weakness.

But Yu Juluo just fought against Qin Qiong and others, and before the outcome was decided, he stopped fighting, immediately turned his horse's head, and retreated.

Qin Qiong and others chased for a short distance, and saw that Yu Juluo had fled back to join the lieutenant general, leading the army back to the city, and had to return with regret.

However, Cui Che showed no signs of anger. He had watched Yu Juluo's retreating back in a hurry, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face.

Regarding Yu Juluo's thoughts, Cui Che had already guessed.

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

 Not today, four more tomorrow
