Dou Jiande also served as a soldier when he was young, and participated in the Sui Dynasty's campaign against Hu, so he didn't have much good impression of the Hu people. Now he was persuaded by Xiong Kuohai and Song Zhengben again, and he quickly made a decision: "Say, how do you need me to help you?" ”

Yang Gao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I need Mr. I need to publicly issue a statement calling on the people of Hebei to unite as one and resolutely resist Hu Lu's southward movement!" That's it. ”

"Are you worried that Zhu Yuanzhang will take advantage of the fire to rob at this time and give Youzhou a knife from behind!"

Dou Jiande is also a generation of heroes, and immediately understood Yang Gao's intentions.

Yang Gao nodded slightly: "I have decided to send troops across the sea to rescue Youzhou, but it will take a long time to reach Youzhou from Jiangnan, if Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly attacks during this period, I believe that Luo Yi will not be able to withstand it no matter what!" ”

The corners of Dou Jiande's mouth hooked, and he sneered: "Wouldn't it be better to let Zhu Yuanzhang occupy Zhuo County?" I know his ability very well, much stronger than Luo Yi'er. If he guards Zhuo County, I think the possibility of keeping Zhuo County is far greater than that of Luo Yi! ”

Yang Gao shook his head: "Mr. Dou, you have dealt with Luo Yi for many years, you should know this person very well." If Zhu Yuanzhang really attacked him and forced him, do you think he will not surrender to Temujin or Wanyan Agu? Taking a step back, even if Zhu Yuanzhang captured Zhuo County by surprise attack, with his strength, would he really be able to keep Zhuo County from hundreds of thousands of Hu Lu? ”

"Zhu Yuanzhang can't do it, why should you do it?"

Dou Jiande was suddenly unhappy, his face turned red, and his eyes when he looked at Yang Gao became unkind again. But it's no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang actually inherited the mantle of Dou Jiande, and looking down on Zhu Yuanzhang's strength is, in the final analysis, looking down on Dou Jiande's strength.

Yang Gao's face was calm, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not that I look down on Hebei's strength, but it's the truth. Since you were captured by me, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Heimin fought for power, although Zhu Yuanzhang won the final victory, but the loss was still the strength of the Hebei Army. Moreover, Hebei is surrounded by enemies on all sides, the Central Plains generals Xue Rengui, Chang Yuchun, and Yang Ye are in charge, and the 100,000 troops of Li Tang in Bingzhou are also eyeing each other, how many soldiers and horses can he Zhu Yuanzhang send north to Youzhou? I did this to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from being consumed by a momentary desire for profit and not being able to see the situation clearly. Not to mention the defeat of his own army, he finally let Hu Lu burn the war to the interior of Hebei. ”

After listening to this, Dou Jiande was like a deflated ball, hanging his head and being silent. After a long time, he slowly spoke: "Although I don't like what you just said, I have to admit that you did state a fact. So I will write this statement, but there is no guarantee that Zhu Yuanzhang will listen to me. ”

Yang Gao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "Although Mr. Dou is relieved, although I grew up in the deep palace, I also know that most of the strong men in the land of Yan Zhao are heroes who value righteousness and light their lives. If Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't listen to the persuasion of your old master, and ignores the people of Youzhou for his own selfish desires, then I believe that his position will not be stable anymore. ”

"That's the truth!" Dou Jiande nodded a little proudly, "Our Hebei Erlang are all heroes who stand up to the sky, everything is based on righteous words, and the most admired are heroic warriors like Yu Rang and Jing Ke." ”

Dou Jiande paused and continued: "In addition, I have one more thing I want to ask you. ”

Yang Gao waved his hand and said, "Please speak." As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree! ”

Dou Jiande pointed to the three people beside him and said in a deep voice: "These three are all my old subordinates, and their opposition to Sui is entirely because of me." Hu Lu went south, and I, as a Han Chinese, also wanted to contribute my own strength. But I also know that you can't let me out, so I hope you can let these three of my old troops go with the army to rescue Youzhou. ”

When Yang Gao heard this, he immediately set his eyes on Xiong Kuohai, Cao Dan and Song Zhengben. Xiong Kuohai, who was born in the border land, was the first to express his position, clasped his hands into fists, and said angrily: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui, you also heard it just now, I grew up in Bingzhou when I was a child, and Hu Lu and I have a common enmity. This time, I beg His Majesty the Emperor to let me go with the army, so that I and Hu Lu can have a great battle and avenge my relatives! ”

Song Zheng was originally a Sui official, and when he was captured in the Central Plains, he saw the strength of the Sui army and had the idea of surrendering, but he forced this idea down because he was grateful to Dou Jiande for his courtesy. But now that Dou Jiande has spoken, Song Zhengben no longer hesitated, immediately knelt on the ground, and arched his hand and said: "The criminal minister Song Zhengben is willing to submit to the Great Sui, and in the future, he is willing to be loyal to His Majesty, loyal to the Great Sui, and use his performance to atone for the sins of the criminal minister and the old master of the criminal minister!" ”

Cao Dan is Dou Jiande's brother-in-law, he has always looked forward to Dou Jiande's horse, and he loves Dou Xianniang's niece very much on weekdays, he has also had many contacts with Dou Xianniang in the two or three years in Jiangdu, after Dou Xianniang's many persuasions, there is not much resistance to the matter of returning to Yang Gao, at this time he also knelt on the ground, and said: "The sin will Cao Dan is willing to return to the Great Sui!" ”

The surrender of the three made Yang Gao happy, but just in case, Yang Gao quickly opened the system and secretly ordered: "System, help me test the four-dimensional ability and loyalty value of these three people, and see if they surrender fraudulently." ”

"Ding-dong, the character detection program is being executed, please wait for a moment..."

"Ding-dong, the system has been detected. Subject is a vast sea, 73 commanders, 101 in force, 50 in intelligence, and 39 in politics. Current allegiance: Dou Jiande, loyalty value 99. ”

"Ding Dong, the test subject Song Zhengben, commander 71, force 48, intelligence 89, politics 87. Current allegiance: Yang Gao, loyalty 67. ”

"Ding Dong, the test subject Cao Dan, commander 78, force 84, intelligence 64, politics 52. Current allegiance: Yang Gao, loyalty 85. ”

After listening to the system's inspection, Yang Gao suddenly relieved his mind and said secretly: "It seems that they are indeed truly descending." Among them, Xiong Kuohai was relatively simple-minded and did not understand what Dou Jiande meant. He was only willing to join my command because he hated the Hu people, so his allegiance was still to Dou Jiande. And Song Zhengben and Cao Dan have already understood Dou Jiande's meaning, so the object of allegiance has been changed to me, among which Cao Dan is more loyal to me because of Dou Xianniang's relationship. And Song Zhengben is a literati, because he still has some concerns about assisting Dou Jiande in resisting the Great Sui before, so his loyalty value is not high for the time being. ”
