When Dou Jiande rode a fast horse and led his soldiers to Qinghe's hometown, he felt that something was wrong when he was far away, and the whole village was dead silent. Hurriedly rode into the village, faintly found that there seemed to be a fire, and looked around again, but it was his old house in a sea of fire.

Dou Jiande was about to organize people to put out the fire, but he heard a commotion from the soldiers not far away, grabbed someone over, and said: "Big brother, this person is hiding in the firewood pile in an old house, and we found it, but I didn't expect him to open his mouth and bite the six sons, we think he may know something, so we brought it to the eldest brother." ”

Dou Jiande's heart was anxious, but when he heard that he might have arrested an insider, he asked his subordinates to continue to fight the fire, and he came to the person who was arrested. ”

Dou Jiande heard that person call him father, and the voice was a little familiar, so he reached out and wiped the black ash and sludge off the man's face, and when he saw the person's appearance clearly, he was also shocked, who else could it be if it wasn't his own daughter Dou Xianniang? Hurriedly asked, "Line Niang?" What about you? Where did it go? ”

Hearing Dou Jiande ask his mother, the informant threw herself into Dou Jiande's arms and cried loudly: "Everyone in the family was arrested by the official army, and I went to send something to Grandma Zhang to escape the catastrophe, and later I heard that the official army was searching for me in the whole village, so I smeared the black ash and hid it in the firewood." ”

At this time, the fire gradually decreased, and Dou Jiande walked into his house, with broken bricks and scorched wood ashes.

"Big brother!" At this time, a person ran in the distance, panting and kneeling in front of Dou Jiande and said, "Big brother, in front of the ancestral hall in Houshan, a corpse pit was found. ”

Hearing the word corpse pit, Dou Jiande's mind buzzed, stabilized his mind and led people to the ancestral hall in the back mountain. After a while, he came to the ancestral hall of the back mountain and saw the corpse pit that the man said. Dou Jiande frowned and stood on the edge of the pit to look inside, they were all headless dead corpses, and then looked closely, but saw a headless corpse dressed as a woman wearing a delicate jade bracelet on her hand, the style was very similar to the one he gave to his wife, and when his body shook, he was about to faint on the spot.

In a trance, Dou Jiande saw the ancestral hall with the door closed not far away, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and when he got closer, he kicked open the door of the ancestral hall, and saw the Jingguan piled up by the heads of the whole village, his youngest son, wife, and parents were among them.

Seeing this situation, Dou Jiande could no longer hold back the blood in his heart, his throat was sweet, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted unconscious on the spot. After a while, under the rescue of his fellow subordinates, he slowly opened his eyes, sat on the ground and pressed his chest and shouted: "Hurt me!" Gao Zitong! I'm going to kill them! ”

At this time, another fast horse came from outside the village, and Dou Jiande recognized it from a distance, it was the person who stayed in the barracks to deal with official documents. The man came to the front and turned over and dismounted, and hugged his fist at Dou Jiande: "Dou centurion, the villain came to pass the word on the order of the county guard, and the county guard called the centurion to the county to discuss the details of the trip to Liaodong." ”

Dou Jiande snorted coldly in his heart, this is to call me Jiande to discuss matters, it is clearly to call me Jiande to remove his head. But on the surface, he nodded and said, "Okay, you go to report, just say that Jiande has the order, and then go to the county to discuss the matter." ”

Sending away the herald, Dou Jiande said to the people on the left and right: "Everyone, Gao Zitong killed my whole family, if it is said that there is no secret permission of the county guard, I will never believe it, this time I will definitely be more than lucky, I don't know if you are willing to do something big with Jiande?" ”

After a long silence, just as Dou Jiande felt a chill in his heart and was about to die alone, a Weng Li angry voice said: "Killing officials and rebelling sounds much better than dying in obscurity in Liaodong, I'll do it." ”

Dou Jiande followed the prestige, he is a sergeant he likes very much on weekdays, he has some brute strength, and his fellow villagers call him an iron bull. When the rest of the people heard Tie Niu say this, they also seconded it one after another, if it weren't for Dou Jiande, I am afraid they would all die in Liaodong, so in this way, their lives were given by Dou Jiande, how could they watch their benefactors die.

Dyed by the momentum of everyone, Dou Jiande buried the sorrow in his heart, and turned to everyone with great pride: "Okay, the critical moment depends on your brothers, with your attitude, I, Dou Jiande, swear here, if he has a ninety-five position in the future, all brothers will be sealed and worshipped." ”

Then he and everyone buried their relatives and villagers who died unjustly in front of the ancestral hall and worshipped. Then he said to the deputy of the team: "You can take your brothers back to the barracks first, and wait for me outside the East City Gate with armor and weapons. After the arrangements were made, Dou Jiande rode his horse slowly to the county guard's mansion, thinking about how to kill people and get out for a while.

After Gao Zitong killed Dou Jiande's entire clan, he led his troops back to the county guard's mansion to meet the county guard and said: "My lord, I led my troops to suppress the bandits, but I was ambushed by the bandit army halfway, and the soldiers were killed and injured countless times. Afterwards, the general wondered why the bandit army was able to ambush our army in advance on the march. Later, after thinking about it carefully, I remembered that Gao Shida burned, killed and looted all over Qinghe County, doing all kinds of evil, but he never attacked Doujia Village. He sent someone to check, and sure enough, he saw people from other villages staying in Doujia Village. So the last general led the troops to defend Doujia Village, and when he was about to enter the village to search for rebellion, he was resisted by the mob, and the Dou family even set fire to his old house to destroy the evidence. With that, he handed over a few letters forged by his master.

The county guard himself was a little dissatisfied with Dou Jiande, after all, he was sent by his command to recruit brave soldiers to support the battlefield in Liaodong, but this Dou Jiande was so ignorant of human feelings and refused to lead troops to go, making himself lose face in front of his colleagues. So he pretended to be surprised and said: "Why is this Doujia Village connected with the army?" ”

Gao Zitong is not proficient in military affairs, but the officialdom is very skilled, and when he heard the voiceover of the county guard, he said: "If you go back to your lordship, there is a person in this Doujia Village who serves in the army, and it is Dou Jiande." ”

Hearing that Gao Zitong understood what he meant, the county guard was also very happy in his heart, but he still said angrily on the surface: "Ridiculous, Dou Baili is kind and benevolent, how can he be in the company of bandits?" You are colleagues and comrades in the army, and you must not fall for the divisive schemes of those bandits and end up destroying the Great Wall. ”

Gao Zitong said: "The minister didn't believe it at first, but some secrets in the army are all found in these letters, the evidence is conclusive, and the general has to accept the facts." ”

At this time, someone sent a messenger to report: "Report to the county guard, centurion Dou Jiande asked to see him outside the county government." ”

The county guard looked at Gao Zitong, Gao Zitong nodded without a trace, and patted the sword in his waist. When the county guard saw that Gao Zitong had made proper arrangements, he said to the messenger, "Let General Dou come in." ”

Dou Jiande tidied up his clothes, hid a dagger, and waited for the messenger in front of the county guard's mansion. After a while, he sent someone back and said to Dou Jiande: "Centurion Dou, the county guard invites you to come in and discuss the matter. ”

Dou Jiande nodded and said a word, led the way before heading, and followed the messenger into the county guard's mansion. After a short time, he came to the conference hall, and when the county guard saw that it was Dou Jiande, he asked with a calm face: "Captain Dou, the government treats you well on weekdays, but why do you want to fornicate with bandits?" ”

Dou Jiande's face sank when he heard this: "My lord, the heart of Jiande can be learned from heaven and earth, why do you want to say that Jiande is fornicating with bandits?" ”

The county guard took out the letter and said: "What a sentence can be learned from heaven and earth, let me ask you, where did you leave the camp with your troops without permission?" ”

Dou Jiande didn't notice the letterhead, and when he heard the county guard ask about leaving the camp without permission, he said in a bad heart: "My lord, I heard that someone came to report that Doujia Village was attacked by gangsters, so I led the troops to do their duty to protect the territory and the people." ”

"Protecting the territory and the people? I'm afraid that if I can protect my own country, I will be able to protect the bandit army and the mob. The county warden sneered.

"My lord, do you have any proof for this? There is no evidence for why you want to defile Jiande's innocence! ”

"Innocence? Okay, come and see this. They are all found from the people whom you call the people. After that, the county guard threw the letter paper in his hand at Dou Jiande.

Dou Jiande saw a lot of military secrets written on the letter paper that he didn't know, and said in his heart that this Gao Zitong is so ruthless, this misfortune and the fact that he offended the county guard a lot on weekdays, I am afraid that today's things will be difficult to be good, so he said: "My lord, what is this?" The above are all major events of military aircraft, and those people are just grass people, so how do they know? ”

At this time, Gao Zitong said on the side: "Dou Centurion, you don't need to pretend now, everyone in Qinghe knows that you Dou Jiande is a person from Doujia Village, although they are a grass people, but you can learn about these things, tell them, and then they will notify the bandits, so the officers and soldiers are not effective in suppressing bandits!" ”

Dou Jiande listened to Gao Zitong's words, and knew that he just couldn't understand today, so he said: "I, Dou Jiande, am a big husband, born to stand up to the sky, and I don't do anything unscrupulous, unlike some people, who don't know about military affairs, shirk responsibility, and actually do things that lead the army with good people!" ”

Gao Zitong heard that Dou Jiande was mocking himself, but he didn't care, and continued: "Dou Centurion always emphasizes that they are good citizens, but how can a good citizen attack the officers and soldiers who come to search for bandits? ”

Dou Jiande saw that these two people were determined to blame themselves to replace the responsibility for the ineffective suppression of bandits, so he said: "Jiande never hides things, this matter is not done by me, Doujia Village and others have not attacked the official army." Gao Zitong, you think you are doing it seamlessly, but do you know that your subordinates are not doing things well, they are tied too tightly, and the marks on your wrists and ankles speak for themselves. Since the county guard trusts Gao Zitong so much, then Jiande has nothing to say, so he returned to the barracks to do the handover work, and waited for the punishment. "Then we have to go out.

"Wait!" Gao Zitong drew his sword and blocked the door, and said: "Dou Jiande, don't think about it, you are going to hand over the work of the barracks, it is clear that the East Window incident happened, you have to take the opportunity to escape!" ”

Dou Jiande stretched out his hand to push Gao Zitong, but his feet were unstable and he fell towards Gao Zitong. Gao Zitong saw Dou Jiande stretching out his hand to himself, and he was also vigilant in his heart, but then he saw Dou Jiande falling down to him, and instinctively reached out to help. At this time, Dou Jiande suddenly became difficult, pulled out a short blade from his sleeve, and stabbed it into Gao Zitong's waist and ribs, and then pushed Gao Zitong away and rushed towards the door of the mansion.

Gao Zitong reached out and took Dou Jiande out of instinct, and then was pushed by Dou Jiande, standing unsteadily and sitting on the ground. But he felt that his waist and ribs were suddenly cold, and then there was a burst of warmth, and then he only felt unbearable pain, and he reached out and touched all the blood. He scolded Dou Jiande angrily for playing some villain tricks, and at the same time beckoned the soldiers who were ambushed on both sides to chase Dou Jiande.

Dou Jiande injured Gao Zitong, ran out of the mansion gate and turned over and rode his war horse, drew his saber and cut off the reins tied to the horse post, and galloped to the east city gate, shouting that there was urgent official business in his mouth, so that everyone could dodge.

Gao Zitong endured the pain and chased out of the mansion, and when he saw Dou Jiande leaving in the dust, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to find the city defense army to close the city gate quickly, and Dou Jiande must not be let out of the city. But it was too late, Dou Jiande went out of the East City Gate, stood on the official road and shouted: "Sons, follow me to Gaojibo and be happy!" So he took a group of people and the informant to Gaojibo and defected to Sun Anzu.

When he arrived at Gaojibo, Zhang Jincheng lined up to greet Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande saw that Zhang Jincheng was very uncomfortable, and he also said to Sun Anzu: This person has a treacherous appearance in his life, and he can't be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Sun Anzu didn't care, and still treated each other with sincerity.

Dou Jiande was unhappy in his heart, but he still had to get by on his face, and he clasped his hands into fists and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Zhang for arranging troops to greet him, the officers and soldiers behind him didn't dare to chase after him anymore, and saved Jiande's life." But big brother, what about Sun Da's master? ”

Zhang Jin said that when he heard Dou Jiande mention Sun Anzu, he said sadly: "The big boss was injured in the battle against the official army, and then the treatment on the mountain was unfavorable, the wound deteriorated and pus, and then the body fever did not subside. ”

Dou Jiande heard that his friend Sun Anzu was no longer alive, and his heart was empty, so he asked, "Brother Zhang, where is the corpse of the big boss?" But it's already buried? ”

Zhang Jin said: "On the last day of the big boss's death, the wound was suppurated, and the smell was unbearable. After that, he led Dou Jiande to Sun Anzu's tomb.

It's just a very simple small tomb bag, with a stone tablet standing in front of it, which reads: The tomb of Sun Anzu, the general of Tianbao. Dou Jiande's sadness came from it, holding the monument with his hand, tears like rain, telling his own experience and the friendship between the two, and everyone who heard it was sad and wept.

Zhang Jin said that when he saw Dou Jiande crying like a tearful man, he was afraid that he would hurt his body, so he pulled him to stand up and took him to a pre-arranged place to rest. That night, Dou Jiande was thinking about the next direction in the house, but he heard the sound of breaking the sky, an iron arrow broke through the window and was nailed to the beams and pillars in the room, and a note was tied to the iron arrow. Dou Jiande opened the note, which said that Sun Anzu died a bad death. In his heart, he picked up the iron arrow and observed it carefully, and found that there were words on the tail, so he went to the lamp and took a closer look, and it was three big characters: Li Wenyuan.
