As night fell, the dim candle flame flickered in the bedroom of the county guard's mansion, casting several dark shadows on the wall.

On the bed, Dou Jiande, who was pale, lay upright on it, unconscious. Wang Fubao, Ling Jing, Cao Dan, Fan Yuan, Song Zhengben and other Hebei civil and military officers all gathered around the bed with anxiety written on their faces.

As for Meng Haigong, Zhu Wen, Gao Tansheng and others, in the final analysis, they and Dou Jiande only used their relationship, so the civil and military forces of Hebei did not allow them to come in to visit Dou Jiande. In case Dou Jiande has a case, it will not be good if they have a bad heart.

"Ahem, ahem...

A violent cough suddenly sounded on the bed, and Dou Jiande slowly opened his eyes.

"Wake up, wake up, the king is awake."

A group of Hebei generals saw Dou Jiande wake up and celebrated loudly in ecstatic.

"Shhhh

Ling Jing glared at the generals dissatisfied, put his hand on his lips and made a silent motion, and said in a low voice, "The king needs to be quiet now. ”

Hearing this, the generals immediately closed their mouths and quickly stepped forward to help Dou Jiande.

Dou Jiande struggled to sit up with the help of his subordinates, and said with a tired face: "Did Yang Gao's shameless child say anything after he fainted? How is the informant now? ”

Ling Jing's face was entangled when he heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "King, Yang Gao Xiao'er said to let the King keep his promise and return to Hebei." Otherwise, otherwise ... ”

"How? Say it. Dou Jiande began to cough violently again because of excitement.

Ling Jing sighed helplessly: "Yang Gao said that if the lord does not withdraw the army, even if the county lord is released back in the future, she will definitely let her bring a big fat grandson back to the king." ”

After hearing this, Dou Jiande jumped like thunder, stood up and roared angrily: "Bastard, Yang Gao'er, I want to break your body into ten thousand pieces." Someone came, passed the order of Lone, the whole army went out of the city and fought a decisive battle with the Sui army, and Lone wanted to kill Yang Gao Xiao'er alive. ”

Ling Jing, Song Zhengben and other strategists were all shocked when they heard this, and they all knelt on the ground and said bitterly: "The king must not be rash, the strength of the Sui army is not inferior to our army, Meng Haigong, Gao Tansheng and Zhu Wen, who have recently returned to us, are not of the same mind as us, this time is definitely not the best moment for a decisive battle with the Sui army!" ”

The general, Wang Fubao, also knelt on one knee and admonished: "King, what Mr. Ling said is extremely true. There will be no disgrace to war. I also hope that the king will focus on the overall situation. ”

Several strategists and chief generals all spoke out to advise, and Dou Jiande calmed down a little. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Then what can you do?" The line girl is Lone's pearl, Lone must save her! ”

"King, it's better to agree to Yang Gao's conditions and withdraw the troops back to Hebei. In this way, the informant may come back safely. "General Cao Dan is the younger brother of Dou Jiande's wife Cao, that is, the uncle of Dou Xianniang, and he also loves Dou Xianniang, the only niece, and immediately recommends retreating from the Central Plains for the safety of Dou Xianniang.

"No!"

Ling Jing said loudly: "This march into the Central Plains is the first step for my Great Xia to unify the world, how can I give up halfway like this!" ”

Cao Dan said unhappily: "What about the line girl?" If the king goes against his will, he will definitely be angry with the informant, can you bear to let a seventeen-year-old child of the informant be humiliated in the enemy camp? ”

Ling Jingzheng said: "How can you be emotionally fighting for domination in the world? At present, Zhu Yuanzhang is leading the army to attack Luoyang, as long as he succeeds in the sneak attack on Luoyang, the pattern of the Central Plains will change greatly, and the king of a golden opportunity must not miss it! ”

Dou Jiande looked at Cao Dan and Ling Jing, who were already getting more and more noisy, frowning and silent.

Ling Jing wanted to assist Dou Jiande in achieving great causes, so he naturally did not want Dou Jiande to give up this opportunity to enter the Central Plains. Bitterly admonished Dou Jiande and said: "King, although Yang Gao'er said it is powerful, it is just a threat to the king. As long as the king's strength is stronger than Yang Gao'er, he will never dare to think anything wrong about the county lord. On the contrary, if the king's strength is weak, even if the king begs in every way, he will not let the county lord go. ”

Dou Jiande was persuaded by Ling Jing, his heart was crossed, he gritted his teeth and said: "Ling Xijiu, what you said makes sense, Yang Guang is a villain who has no faith in his words, and his son will not be a good thing!" If Lone really retreats to the Central Plains, the thief will only gain an inch, and use the line Niang to continue to threaten Lone. Only by doing the opposite, beating him up and fearing him, and fearing loneliness from the bottom of his heart, will the informant be safe. ”

Seeing that Dou Jiande had been convinced, Ling Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and arched his hand and said, "The king is wise!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。

However, it was said that Yue Fei, Lu Junyi, Dai Zong, Yue Yun and other cadres set off from Dangyin County and rushed to the Central Plains to defect to Yang Gao in the starry night. However, because Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, sent a sea fishing document to search for Yue Yun and others in Hanoi County, a large number of roadblocks were set up along the way to strictly check passers-by.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yue Fei and others had no choice but to take a detour to Luoyang and take a long way to the Central Plains.

Several people slept in the open along the way, and now that the cold winter is approaching again, Yue Fei and other martial arts practitioners don't care, but Yue Yinping's body is weak, and he accidentally fell ill after running around for days.

Because they had been walking in the mountains and forests far away from the county seat, Yue Fei and the others couldn't find a doctor to see Yue Yinping at all. But fortunately, among the few people, Yue Fei knew a little bit of medical skills, and gave Yue Yinping a number to know her condition, so he went out with Yue Yun to pick some herbs for Yue Yinping and came back.

The father and son were collecting medicine for Yue Yinping, but suddenly they heard the neighing of war horses, and the father and son quickly hid in the forest to hide. I could only hear the sound of horses getting closer and closer, and the two scout-like Xia soldiers passed by the side of the forest, talking and laughing, and they didn't find Yue Fei and his son hiding in the forest, and slowly walked into the distance.

"What's going on? How could there be Dou Jiande's scouts in such a place? ”

Yue Fei was suspicious, and immediately handed over the herbs he had picked to Yue Yun and asked him to rush back to boil medicine for Yue Yinping. He secretly followed the two Xia Army scouts, chased after him all the way, chased out of the land for three miles, ran to a hill, and looked down, Yue Fei couldn't help but gasp.

I saw that on the open ground three miles behind the hills, a large-scale military camp had been erected. In the center of the camp, there is a towering flagpole, and a large flag with the word "Zhu" in high letters is fluttering in the wind.

Yue Fei roughly counted the number of tents in the summer military camp, and said in horror: "My God! What does Dou Jiande want to do? Now that His Majesty has the advantage in the Central Plains, shouldn't he resist His Majesty's attack with all his might, why did he send 30,000 troops here? ”
