Dou Jiande laid down several Chengyi in this area, gained a firm foothold, and expanded his army to 100,000 people, and by occupying the official warehouse and the government arsenal, the 100,000 men were armed and became an army, no longer a rabble armed with hoes and sticks.

At present, Dou Jiande has become the strongest uprising team in Hebei, Gao Shida, Zhang Jincheng and others have been defeated by Yang Yichen, a few days ago, Yang Yichen led tens of thousands of troops, invaded Douzi, crusaded against Ge Qian, captured him alive, and only Dou Jiande's family was left in Hebei.

Dou Jiande himself is brave and martial, and he usually knows some heroes of the green forest, and he has a high prestige in the cold door, so after being stationed in Changle City, Hebei heroes and the children of the Shi clan came to vote.

Strategists such as Qi Shanxing, Song Zhengben, Gao Yaxian, Ling Jing, military generals Wang Fubao, Zhang Qingte, Fan Yuan, Cao Zhan and others gathered together, adopted son Dou Xinglie, daughter Dou Hongxian were all indoors, discussing the matter of sending troops to Zhuojun in the coming year.

Qi Shanxing said: "This time I went to Liaoxi, and made an alliance with the people of the Gao clan in the Northern Qi, at the end of February, tens of thousands of horses of the Gao clan will attack Beiping County, cut off the connection between Yuyang and Yan County, establish themselves as kings, attract garrisons, and involve the troops of the border fortress, we will lead the army to the north and attack Zhuo County, so that Luo Yi will not be able to mobilize the troops of the other three counties, and the number and strength will definitely be weaker than ours, as long as Jicheng is conquered, when the time comes, the entire ten northern counties may be our territory, and when the time comes, General Dou will directly call the king, It is enough to share the capital of the world with the imperial court. ”

The generals were all excited, and they wanted to fight bigger battles, so that they could make meritorious achievements and sharpen their military talents.

Ling Jing stroked his short beard and said, "General Dou, I have different suggestions, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Dou Jiande was not arbitrary and dictatorial, and he could listen to suggestions, so he said, "Mr. Ling, please speak." ”

Ling Jing arched his hand and said truthfully: "Luo Cheng has a great reputation, and he is like a god of war among the people, our army went north to attack rashly, with Luo Cheng's ability to lead the army, and wait for work, can our army really win victory on him?" Moreover, our army is all temporarily formed, lack of training, so it is really unwise to directly confront the defenders of Zhuo County and the Biansai soldiers, it is really unwise, it is better to take the nearby Hengshan County, Zhao County, Pingyuan County, and Qinghe County first, the soldiers are strong and strong, the number of soldiers is doubled, and the soldiers are also sharpened enough, and it is not too late to go to a decisive battle with Luo Cheng. ”

This suggestion was spoken, and some people nodded in agreement, after all, the reputation of the invincible young marshal has risen, and naturally some people have exaggerated it, saying that Luo Zhaoyun is a rookie god of war, a great Sui general, and has made a lot of great contributions in ten years, whether it is a gate lord nobleman or a poor people, they have heard of his prestige.

Gao Yaxian nodded beside him: "Mr. Ling's words are not unreasonable, if you can reserve for another year, expand the surrounding territory, and increase your strength, it will be easier to deal with Luo Chengcheng." ”

"No!" Song Zhengben said: "Everyone, everyone has heard of Luo Cheng's prestige, yes, ten years ago, the old man also heard about it, and I admired this young man very much, he dared to run away from home at the age of fourteen, joined the army, and was ambitious and ambitious. In the following years, he continued to accumulate military exploits, and he was also a figure with both civil and military skills in the Great Sui, and the more this was the case, the more dangerous he became! ”

"Now he arrived in Zhuo County with the holy decree, promoted to the governor of the four counties, the government soldiers and the people are all dispatched, the grain and grass and weapons in the border are sufficient, we only have one county, if we give him time, with Luo Cheng's prestige and ability, within a year, we will recruit troops and horses, strengthen our strength, and exceed our current military strength, so we must not give him time to develop, take advantage of the beginning of spring, the earth will warm up, immediately send troops, and take him by surprise, so that we will have a chance to win."

Song Zhengben's words resonated with many people, and they felt that it was reasonable, although everyone had not seen Luo Cheng with their own eyes, but the rumors were too powerful, and they took the initiative to provoke this evil star, Wenmou generals, they were all a little resistant, but, as Song Zhengben said, if he was given time, then he was entrenched in Zhuo County, holding the holy decree, and dispatching the men and horses and materials of the four counties, then the rise speed was amazing, and he would soon be able to surpass the strength of their group of rebels.

Qi Shanxing arched his hand and said: "General Dou, Mr. Song's words are very reasonable, we must not give Luo Cheng a chance, otherwise the longer we delay, our current strength will be caught up, and we will be even more uncertain." ”

Wang Fubao, Zhang Qingte and others hugged their fists and asked for battle, the matter has come to this point, they all understand that there must be a battle, so they simply let it go, and have the courage to go north to deal with the Luo family's army.

Dou Jiande finally spoke: "We have just entered Layue, and there are still two months before the beginning of March, we can gather more strong men to enlist in the army, in addition, if there are any heroes and literati in the nearby counties and counties who are willing to follow us to fight against the Sui Dynasty, we can recruit them, and the more outstanding people gathered, the better." ”

Song Zhengben said: "Don't hide it from General Dou, I have found a candidate, Wuyi has an old county lieutenant named Su Yong, recently bandits are rampant all over the country, under the banner of uprising, burning, killing and looting, scourge the local people, this Su Yong as a county lieutenant, organized a team of people and horses, against the thieves of the Qin criminals, Xiangma, protect the township, he has a son named Su Lie, the word is fixed, when he was a teenager, he worshiped the master to learn art for a few years, and his martial arts are outstanding, he is about 16 years old, but he is also comparable to Luo Cheng in his youth, which can be of great use. ”

After hearing this, Dou Jiande was overjoyed, such a young hero, if he can take over his command, it is definitely a sharp sword.

"Can the gentleman convince them of father and son?"

Song Zhengben replied: "A friend of mine, who has a relationship with this Su Yong, can send him to be a lobbyist, now Da Sui is full of devastation and hopeless, as the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and the situation may be more chaotic next year, presumably the father and son are not willing to be buried like this." Siege it. ”

"Su Dingfang!" Dou Hongxian heard Mr. Song praise the young man so highly, his heart was full of curiosity, secretly thinking that he was the same age as himself, and he also studied under the masters.
