As soon as Song Zhengben said this, Dou Jiande's brows jumped slightly, as if he had some intention.

Seeing this, Kong Deshao was very anxious, and hurriedly retorted to Song Zhengben and said: "Mr. Song, Luo Yi has been entrenched in Youzhou for many years, and the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, and we have fought with him many times without taking any advantage. What's more, now Zhao Kuangyin is strong in the Bingzhou area, and he is also eyeing Youzhou. If we forcibly attack Youzhou, I am afraid that we will make a wedding dress for Zhao Kuangyin. Unless Mr. Song has some good plan to quickly eliminate Luo Yi. ”

Before Song Zhengben could speak, Dou Jiande had already waved his hand and said: "Luo Yi is a veteran soldier, Youzhou is the frontier of fighting against Hulu, Zhuo County, Ji County, and Beiping County are mostly strong cities, once the war starts, it will inevitably be a protracted battle, and there is no possibility of quick victory." ”

Dou Jiandexuan set his eyes on a military general who was standing in the crowd and bowed his head silently, and said loudly: "Zhu Yuanzhang, what do you think?" ”

When everyone heard Dou Jiande's shout, they quickly turned their attention to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was named.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is ugly, his face is covered with pockmarks. But no one dares to underestimate this ugly man, although this person has only been under Dou Jiande's command for four months, but his military exploits are even ashamed of Wang Fubao, who is known as the first general under Dou Jiande.

Three months ago, in Weizhou, he defeated Yu Wenhua and the remnants of the more than 20,000 Xiaoguo army led by him with only 10,000 elite soldiers, and personally beheaded Yu Wenhua and his people.

Two months ago, he offered a miraculous plan to take Anyang City, the largest city in Hebei, for Dou Jiande, so that Dou Jiande occupied the entire Wei County.

It is precisely with a series of merits that Zhu Yuanzhang's status has skyrocketed in just four months, ranking among the generals.

Hearing Dou Jiande shouting his name, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly raised his head, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "King, the last general thinks that King Xia should send troops to the Central Plains, but it is not to save Li Mi, but to occupy the Central Plains in the name of rescuing Li Mi." ”

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's words came out, the hall was in an uproar, and Kong Deshao accused loudly: "Zhu Yuanzhang, what do you mean by this? You have instigated the king to be treacherous, and you are trying to trap the king in injustice! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Kong Deshao with disdain, "The princes compete for hegemony, the strong are respected, what kind of morality are you talking about?" Do you think that if Li Mi wins the world in the future, he will let the king dominate in Hebei? ”

"Not bad! What General Zhu said is very reasonable! ”

Ling Jing, Dou Jiande's chief strategist, who had been silent, said loudly: "At present, Youzhou is in difficulty, and my Great Xia wants to enhance its own strength, and the only development direction is the Central Plains. What's more, Li Mi is insidious and vicious, and even Zhai Rang died in his hands. God knows if he will cross the river and tear down the bridge after we send troops to help him break the siege? ”

"The king, the last general (Weichen) also supports General Zhu Yuanzhang's suggestion."

The generals Wang Fubao, Cao Dan, Liu Heimin, and strategists Song Zhengben and Qi Yuanrang expressed their support one after another, but Kong Deshao was unable to support it alone, and retreated silently.

Seeing that the generals in the hall had almost reached an agreement, Dou Jiande nodded, stroked his beard and said: "What you want coincides with Gu, but at present, the Sui army in the Central Plains is strong, and the combined strength of Yang Gao and Wang Shichong is probably more than 300,000, I don't know what you have to do?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "The king, the last general has a strategy, maybe he can help the king quickly take the Central Plains." ”

Dou Jiande was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "General Zhu has a clever plan, let's talk about it quickly." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "King, right now, Wang Shichong's main force is in the Central Plains, and Luoyang is empty. The king could lead the main force to Kim Yong Yong to assist Li Mi, while the last general led an elite army to sneak up on Luoyang. After Luoyang succeeded, the last general divided his troops to Yingchuan County and made a gesture of marching to Jingxiang. Jing Xiang is the foundation of Yang Gao, once Jing Xiang is lost, Yang Gao will undoubtedly retreat. ”

Dou Jiande was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, Lone can get the assistance of General Zhu, it is really God bless the king." Lone will give you 30,000 elite soldiers, and the king's personal guard Xiong Kuohai will also be handed over to you, hoping that you will take Luoyang. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at the majestic sea behind Dou Jiande, overjoyed, and said: "With the help of warriors like General Xiong, my Great Xia will definitely be able to win a big victory in this battle!" ”

Dou Jiande smiled, "That Gu is waiting for General Zhu's good news in Kim Yong City!" ”

After a pause, Dou Jiande stood up solemnly, pulled out the sword placed next to the throne, and ordered loudly: "In this battle, General Gu personally led 150,000 elite soldiers, known as 400,000 to the Central Plains, Wang Fubao, Ling Jing, Song Zhengben, Fan Yuan, Cao Dan, and Gao Yaxian set off with the army. In this battle, it is necessary to turn the Central Plains into the territory of our Great Xia. ”

Everyone in the hall knelt down and said loudly: "The minister must swear allegiance to the king, Great Xia will win, Great Xia will win!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。

At the same time that Dou Jiande decided to send troops to the Central Plains, Jia Runfu also rushed to Qi County and asked to see Song Jiang.

Song Jiang's implanted identity is a small official in Qi County, because his family has some small wealth, he likes to make friends with some heroes in the rivers and lakes on weekdays, subsidize them with some silver taels, and win a reputation for timely rain in the rivers and lakes.

However, there are always a few people in the rivers and lakes who will have a relationship with the grass cowards who occupy the mountains as the king, or the court criminals who live in the rivers and lakes.

Song Jiang once inadvertently funded a Jiangyang thief who had been wanted for many years, and later the incident happened, Song Jiang got into a lawsuit because of this, and he was to be beheaded for public display according to the law.

Song Jiang is also a small ambitious person, so he is naturally unwilling to die like this. He immediately united with his friends Wu Yong, Li Kui, and Wang Ying to go out of Qi County and occupy the mountain as the king.

In troubled times, bandits, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant in Qingzhou, and the people were forced to make a living. And Song Jiang has some ability to buy people's hearts, and in the name of "walking for heaven", he wantonly won the hearts of the people, and the team is getting bigger and bigger. Song Jiang's former friends Dong Ping, Chao Gai, Liu Tang, Zhu Tong, and Ruan Xiaoqi also took refuge in Song Jiang.

Chao Gai, Dong Ping and Zhu Tong have extremely high martial arts, and they are almost invincible opponents in Qingzhou. With the surrender of these fierce generals, Song Jiang's courage became bigger and bigger, and the actions of the rebel army under his command changed from the initial robbery of homes and houses, robbing the rich and helping the poor, to the later siege of cities, occupation of government offices, and hegemony.

Meng Haigong, Xu Yuanlang, Gao Tansheng and other separatist forces in Qingzhou were successively defeated by Song Jiang and merged under Song Jiang's command.

The situation of the Song Jiang army is much better than in history, and neither the Tang Dynasty nor the Sui Dynasty can directly send troops to garrison Qingzhou. So Song Jiang's ambitions began to swell wildly, and after sweeping away the Qingzhou heroes, he proclaimed himself King of Liang.

After Jia Runfu arrived at Qi County, he threw a letter of worship to Song Jiang. The next day, Song Jiang met with Jia Runfu.

Jia Runfu saw Song Jiang and expressed his intentions, and pleaded with Song Jiang with tears in his eyes: "His Royal Highness King Liang, we are all anti-Sui rebels, and I hope that King Liang will save Wagang on this incense." ”
