Chapter 541: Cao Dan

Dou Jiandra put down a big face, pointed at Tong Guangshou and scolded, "Damn, you give Lao Tzu an honest face, it annoys me, and throws you back to Shandong to fish ......"

Well, the words are more ruthless, the lowest class in Shandong is not a pariah, but a fisherman fishing on the beach, they have no fixed place, full of fishy smell, in addition to fishing, from time to time can also be filled with bandits, whether it is acting, or the status is similar to the mountain people of Jindi.

But Tong Guangshou was not ashamed, but knocked on his chest with a smile and said, "Brother, don't be annoyed, I won't say it." ”

After doing this, he glanced at the other side proudly, and some of the generals were happy again, obviously this was a means for them to show their closeness to the emperor.

Of course, this kind of thing is very effective once or twice, Dou Jiande, I feel that my subordinates are the same as at the beginning, and they can still have the same heart with him, and the new people do feel that they are close to the emperor, or these guys have the advantage and talk freely, isn't it just a manifestation of seniority?

But if it goes on like this again and again, it is difficult for Dou Jiande to say in his heart, there is no harm if there is no comparison, after becoming an emperor, if everyone is still commensurate with each other as before, then what is it like to be an emperor?

These things that don't grow up, and don't look at how Pei Ju serves the king, he knows how to make trouble all day long.

Of course, Dou Jiande has not yet evolved to the level of a king, otherwise, more than half of the generals here would have lost their heads, and the king's ruthlessness and selfishness would not allow these people to live anymore.

But having said that, the effect of what Tong Guangshou said today was really different from the past, and the strategy he proposed was completely opposite to what Dou Jiande thought, and he also attacked Dou Jiande's decree.

Being able to grow food by himself and no longer be controlled by others is the goal that Dou Jiande has been working hard for, but Tong Guangshou was denied it in a few words, and the dissatisfaction in Dou Jiande's heart does not need to be mentioned.

After taking a big sip of wine, Dou Jiande glared at Tong Guangshou gloomily, and finally made this guy feel a little chilly, and finally realized that what he said seemed to be a little wrong, and he was scared, so he became much more honest after that.

You must know that although Dou Jiande has a reputation for generosity among others, he may stand out from the war in Shandong, and if you want to treat him as a good person, you may die without knowing how to die.

The generals gradually stopped laughing, and the hall finally fell silent.

Dou Jiande's face sank like water, and he asked everyone: "You all think so?" Go back and fight Wang Shichong? How much grain and grass did it cost to go back and forth, and I couldn't take you out to play on a cold day? ”

Annoyed, he was immediately angry, and Pei Ju and the others who looked at it secretly shook their heads, on the contrary, most of the generals were in good spirits, and they ate this set.

Cao Dan finally spoke.

Cao Dan doesn't look at the name a little awkward, but this is a serious Shandong man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a full beard, he looks very powerful.

According to Li Po, there is no good thing in the beard these years, and Cao Dan is undoubtedly on the list.

Speaking of this person is not simple, like Dou Jiande, he was born in a military family, he is in his early thirties, younger than Dou Jiande, he is different from others, he worked for a local family when he was a teenager, and took the opportunity to study for a few years.

Yang Guang went to the north, and he and Dou Jiande went to serve in front of the Zhuojun army.

Dou Jiande was injured halfway and returned to his hometown in a gloomy manner, but Cao Dan went to Liaodong, and when he turned around, he accumulated merit for the camp, and he was serious about the credit of fighting with the Goguryeo people under the city of Liaodong.

As a native of Shandong, he has no family background, and his promotion to the position of Yingzheng is actually the end, if he can't rush to the head of Liaodong City twice, it is estimated that people like Cao Dan will not be able to touch the edge of Yingzheng in his life.

Therefore, although the first northern expedition was in an uproar, for Cao Dan, it was very fruitful. 【】

The next drama should be to return to the hometown, but at that time, Shandong was already in chaos, and Cao Dan and others who came back almost turned into a bandit suppression force on the spot.

What frightened Cao Dan and others even more was that many of their relatives and friends had become bandits, and what was especially unacceptable was that the wives and children at home were either starving to death or disappeared.

Villages and cities have all been scorched to earth, and the displaced people have gnawed off the land of Shandong.

However, the emperor was still preparing to invade Liaodong again, and as soon as the recruitment documents arrived in Shandong, the bandit armies everywhere immediately rebelled.

At this time, Cao Dan and his subordinates and colleagues were already shaken by the morale of the army, and to add insult to injury, someone wanted to purge them, Cao Dan, as the brother-in-law of Dou Jiande, the leader of the Gaojibo bandits, seemed to be on the list.

So Cao Dan didn't hesitate anymore, led the crowd to start an incident, a rebellion came down, Cao Dan and others failed without any accidents, the officers and troops at this time still maintained a high combat effectiveness, and Cao Dan and others who were in a hurry naturally couldn't take any advantage.

In the end, Cao Dan took some remnants of the defeated general to his brother-in-law, and since then he has followed Dou Jiande to fight everywhere, and in the eleventh year of the great cause, Shandong has completely become a mess, and the bandits have ushered in the dawn.

The team of Dou Jiande and others swelled, and more and more Shandong soldiers appeared in the middle, Gao Shida, Dou Jiande and others also united.

defeated Duan Da first, then killed Guo Xuan, and then defeated Xue Shixiong, on the basis of defeating the official army one after another, the Shandong bandits also established confidence.

So, Gao Shida led his troops into Hebei, and met in Youzhou.

Dou Jiande actually wanted to go to Shandong with Gao Shida at that time, but he was persuaded by Cao Dan, and Cao Dan persuaded Dou Jiande for several reasons.

First, Gao Shida is stubborn and self-serving, not the master, in other words, Gao Shida can share weal and woe and cannot be the same wealth, if Gao Shida defeats Youzhou, and then sets Hebei, these people will die without a place to be buried.

Second, Youzhou Luo Yi is not so easy to deal with, Youzhou soldiers are strong and strong, food and grass are abundant, it is not easy, why should we go to Gao Shida to be the pawn of the horse?

Third, rather for the head of the chicken than for the tail of the phoenix, Shandong is a little chaotic, but once Gao Shida is gone, that is, our family is dominant, as long as we are good at management, even if Gao Shida has laid down Hebei, we will be appeased at that time.

Fourth, Yang Yichen led his troops into Hebei, echoing with Luo Yi's north and south, a careless, wouldn't it have achieved the reputation of Yang Yichen's old guy?

Dou Jiande listened to it and thought so, so he turned back to Shandong to wait and see, and sure enough, Gao Shida was defeated by Yang Yichen in Hebei, and he couldn't escape back.

In all the subsequent wars, Cao Dan's role was actually not only the head of the generals, but also Dou Jiande's prime minister, that is to say, Dou Jiande can have today, and Cao Dan has made great contributions.

From this, it can be seen that Cao Dan's talent is really extraordinary, and he is a serious talent that emerges from the recklessness.

Now he is subservient to Pei Ju, but once he speaks, it will be different from Tong Guangshou, and even Pei Ju has to calm down and listen.

This first looked at Tong Guangshou and muttered, "Lao Tong has always been straight, his mouth is bigger than a bamboo basket, and the Supreme Don't pay attention to him." ”

He turned around for Tong Guangshou and groaned slightly, in fact, he also felt that Tong Guangshou and the others were a little arrogant now, and he had long been thinking about cleaning up these guys.

But he had to find an opportunity, especially not in front of Pei Ju and others, speaking of which, his precautions against Pei Ju and others were much heavier than those of Tong Guangshou and others.

Because Tong Guangshou just felt that Pei Ju and the others did not have much credit, it was very unreasonable to press them as soon as they came, so he also resented.

But Cao Dan is different, what he sees is that Pei Ju and other old ministers of the Sui family miss the old master, not to mention, and have many involvements with Luoyang and even Chang'an, when things are urgent, it is difficult for these guys to serve their brother-in-law wholeheartedly, maybe they will rebel and stab you in the back.

What kind of virtue is the son of the gate valve, he can see a lot in Shandong and even in Liaodong, so he is extremely uneasy about Pei Ju and others, and feels that at the critical moment, these old people from Shandong are more reliable.

He has a lot of ideas in his heart, but he doesn't easily reveal it.

Now Pei Ju and others are in use, and in his opinion, Pei Ju and these people do have talents, if they want to compete with Wang Shichong, Li Yuan and others, without the assistance of these people, they will definitely not be able to rely on their old Shandong department.

Well, to sum up this person's mind in one sentence, that is, people can use it, but they can't be on guard at all times, and they can't let these people sit big.

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Dan's voice rose up, "What the Supreme said is that it is really not easy to go back and forth, how can you return in vain?" Wang Shichong...... This man has long heard of the reputation of treachery, and he didn't expect anything from them. ”

"At this time, it is not uncommon to send troops to attack, across the Yellow River, he can't help us, if he is insatiable and dares to continue to march north, let's cut off his grain first, and then fight with him......"

"So, let's fight Youzhou first, you might as well let General Wang give up Wei County to the north to join me, Wang Shichong doesn't come, when we pacify Youzhou and return to the south, he will have no chance to take advantage of it, if he comes, he will be able to make his horses not return."

This is the strategy, like those proposed by Tong Guangshou, whoever comes will rush over and fight with others, it can only be a joke, and if you can take a step today, you can only say that Tong Guangshou is very brave, of course, he also has a lucky bonus, otherwise, he would have become a member of Shandong's many white bones.

Without waiting for Dou Jiande's approval, Pei Ju over there had already stroked his palm and said with a smile: "This plan is good, General Cao really deserves his reputation, but the old man expected that Wang Shichong would not dare to come north, so he recently withdrew from the army and left......"

(Second watch, brothers).
