The red lady, who had learned martial arts, was impulsive, and chased and captured the leader of the horse thieves, Dou Laohu, and did not want to be trapped in the den of thieves.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first!" The red lady who was trapped in the thief's den was not afraid, but confidently pounced to arrest Dou Jiande, but she didn't expect the two sides to fight, she knew that Dou Jiande was not only infinitely powerful, but also superb martial arts, although she fought hard, but was finally defeated by Dou Jiande and captured alive. During the whole process, Dou Jiande did not let others help, and he has always been one-on-one with the Red Lady fairly, very "chivalry" and "gentleman's style", and the Red Lady couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

The red lady who was captured alive thought that she was going to die this time, or that she would be forced to be robbed by Dou Jiande and other horse thieves, but she didn't expect Dou Jiande to be very benevolent and righteous, and did not embarrass her, and was very polite to her, sent someone to protect her, and also sent her home with his best "iron buddy" Liu Heimin.

Although Dou Jiande hated the Sui Dynasty government to the core, after seeing the simple, beautiful and brave red lady, he couldn't help but fall in love, so he couldn't bear to harm her.

The red lady was grateful, and couldn't help but have a good impression of Dou Jiande. On the way home for Dou Jiande, he cared for her and took good care of her. The red lady was surprised to find that after Dou Jiande removed his camouflage beard, he turned out to be very handsome, extraordinary, and very strong, a majestic and beautiful man. can't help but fall in love with Dou Jiande, and Dou Jiande has already fallen in love with the red lady at first sight, and the two have a secret love.

Through the chat, the red lady learned about the tragic history of blood and tears of Dou Jiande's family, and couldn't help but be indignant and sad, deeply sympathetic to Dou Jiande's misfortune, and a little more understanding of him becoming a horse thief.

Dou Jiande is a native of Zhangnan County, Beizhou, who has been farming for generations, and his parents are honest farmers. Although Dou Jiande is also a farmer, he is born chivalrous and courageous, he likes to dance with knives and sticks since he was a child, likes to act chivalrous, and sticks a knife in both ribs for his friends, and he takes the fulfillment of his promise very seriously.

When Dou Jiande was young, he once killed a bully in this county, and when the government wanted him, he happened to meet Ma Fei who was passing by Zhangnan County, Ma Fei was still a chivalrous warrior who wandered the rivers and lakes, so he rescued the young Dou Jiande and helped him escape from the round-up of the government.

After returning home, Dou Jiande still maintained his chivalrous spirit and helped the needy. There is a fellow villager Fan Yuan who died of his parents, the family is poor and unable to bury, Dou Jiande's family is not rich, Dou Jiande was plowing the field at that time, immediately put down the farm work after hearing it, took the initiative to send all the property needed for the funeral, and helped him bury his parents, so he was praised by the villagers, and the grade was elected as the head by everyone at a young age.

In the seventh year of Emperor Yang of Sui (611 AD), the imperial court recruited troops to conquer Goryeo, and the county selected brave and excellent people to be the little marshals, so Dou Jiande was appointed as the commander of 200 people. At that time, there was a flood in the land of Qilu and Yanzhao, and most of the people fled to the famine, and there was a Sun Anzu in the same county, whose house and property were washed away by the flood, and his wife and children died of hunger. The county took a fancy to Sun Anzu's courage and also selected him into the team. Sun Anzu was reluctant to enlist in the army on the grounds of family poverty, and said to Zhangnan County Commander Wu Qi in person, the county commander Wu Qi lost his temper and beat him hard, Sun Anzu was angry, killed the county commander Wu Qi, heard that Dou Jiande was chivalrous and brave, so he fled to Dou Jiande's house, Dou Jiande didn't say a word, he took him in and hid him, Sun Anzu then escaped the search of the officers and soldiers, and saved his life.

In this year, Yan Zhao and Qilu had a famine, and Sun Anzu said to Dou Jiande: "During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, the world was rich and prosperous, and he sent a million men and horses to conquer Liaodong, but he was defeated by Goryeo. This year, there was a flood, the people were poor, but Emperor Yang of Sui was not sympathetic to the people's feelings, and wanted to personally go to Liaodong to supervise the war, plus the western expedition in previous years, the damaged vitality has not yet recovered, the people are tired and tired, and they have been fighting for many years, and people who have been away for many years cannot go home, and now they have to send troops, which is easy to cause turmoil. As long as a manly husband does not die, he should make meritorious deeds, how can he be a prisoner who escaped in a hurry. I am familiar with the vast area of Gaojibo and a radius of several hundred miles, and the dense and deep grass on the lakes and marshes, so I can go there to hide it, find an opportunity to come out and rob, have enough to live and save, and after pulling up the people, wait for the turbulent situation, and inevitably do something earth-shattering. ”

Sun Anzu wanted to pull Dou Jiande and him into the grass together. Dou Jiande's father had just passed away at that time, and his family had his mother, younger brother, sister and other family members, so he did not agree to go to Gaojibo with Sun Anzu to be a grass coward.

Sun Anzu then recruited and lured those who evaded conscription and had no property, and got a few hundred people, Sun Anzu called himself a general and entered Gaojibo as a grass coward. Zhang Jin, a native of Juxian County, said that he had also invited hundreds of people to carry out activities in the dangerous waters of the Yellow River. Gao Shida, a native of Beixian County, also raised troops to rebel and recruited more than 1,000 people to carry out activities in the area of Qinghe County.

Due to Dou Jiande's chivalrous reputation, the bandits who came and went to Zhangnan County at that time slaughtered and robbed the people in the local villages along the road and burned their houses, but they were not harassed by Dou Jiande's hometown.

After learning the information, Xu Gui, the assassin of Qinghe County, and Zheng Shuang, the new county commander of Zhangnan County, were informed of the information, and determined that Dou Jiande and the bandits were colluding with each other, so they sent Captain Lei Kui to lead thousands of officers and soldiers to attack and surround Dou Jiande's countryside and residence, and arrested all Dou Jiande's family members and relatives.

At that time, Dou Jiande happened to be not at home, and was selling horses with his friend Liu Heimin and others in the area of Hengshan County and Hejian County in the land of Yanzhao, so he escaped a catastrophe.

When he heard that his whole family had been killed, he was stunned and grief-stricken, and he fainted with blood in his mouth, and after Liu Heimin and other friends woke him up, Dou Jiande had to rush back to his hometown immediately to take revenge, Liu Heimin and other friends stopped him desperately, because they knew that the officers and soldiers led by Captain Lei Kui were waiting for Dou Jiande to throw himself into the net, and once he went back now, he would be sent to death. Later, after Dou Jiande calmed down, he also knew that he could not go back for the time being, so he stopped selling horses, and organized a group of horse thieves composed of poor people or herdsmen with Liu Heimin and other friends, known to the outside world: "Dou Laohu", specializing in the deserts and grasslands around Hejian County and Hengshan County in Yanzhao Dadi, looting officers and soldiers and local tyrants and bullies. Because there were only a few dozen people and their strength was weak, they could not confront the officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty head-on, and generally adopted the method of sneak attacks and guerrillas. During the period of being a horse thief, Dou Jiande once sneaked back to his hometown to worship the souls of his parents and family, and asked around about Lei Kui, the commander who killed his entire family, and wanted to assassinate him to take revenge, but unfortunately he never found out Lei Kui's whereabouts......

After listening to Dou Jiande's history of blood and tears, the red lady also shed tears of sympathy, and she also hated those evil officials in the court very much, and also understood what Dou Jiande did, and the hearts of the two came closer.

It's just that the two are too far apart in status, one is a high-ranking lady, and the other is a robber and horse thief, so although the two have affection for each other, they were forced by reality to break up silently. Dou Jiande reluctantly watched the red lady walk back into Hejian County step by step.

At the time of separation, the red lady begged Dou Jiande, when her father was an official in Hejian County, asked him not to make trouble in Hejian County, and asked him not to rob and loot the local tyrants of the official mansion in Hejian County, and Dou Jiande agreed.

After Cao Xiuying came back, Dou Laohu, a horse thief who had been robbing and looting the local tyrants of the government in the desert grassland area of Hejian County, suddenly disappeared like evaporation from the world. Cao Zheng, the newly appointed assassin of Hejian County, and the local Sui Dynasty officers and soldiers who were disturbed by Dou Laohu's attack were extremely puzzled, and finally the local officers and soldiers and local tyrants unanimously came to the conclusion that it seemed that it was because of the great prestige of the brave and warlike Lord Cao Zheng and Cao that he scared Dou Laohu away after taking office. The local Sui Dynasty officers and soldiers and local tyrants and nobles who had been panicking all rejoiced and admired Cao Zheng and Lord Cao Cao extremely much. But only Cao Xiuying, who lives in the boudoir, understands in her heart that her good impression of Dou Jiande has risen to another level, although Dou Jiande was born recklessly, but he is a person who can be trusted. He promised himself that if his father Cao was in Hejian County for a day, then he Dou Laohu would not make trouble in Hejian County, and it seemed that he did what he said.
