Chapter 2 The Yellow Sparrow (Fourth

"Why should the lord be like this?" Cheng Mingzhen hurriedly stood up and bowed his hand, "But there are orders, despite the famous words." Cheng Mou dare not obey! ”

Although he has had a lot of unpleasant memories before, the honesty that Dou Jiande has paid in recent days, whether it is true or false, is enough to return him with all his strength.

Looking at Song Zhengben again, he also stood up silently and reached the ground for a long time. "Alas, Song didn't have the courage to die on the day the city was broken, so he had no choice but to do so. I hope that the king's actions in the future will not disgrace Song's ancestors! ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Song. If you want to do bad things, I would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now! As long as you try your best to help, don't say anything far away, this Hebei father and fellow villagers will definitely pronounce you a 'good' word in the future! Dou Jiande was in a happy mood and agreed with a grin.

Song Zhengben sighed again and returned to his seat silently. As the old saying goes, a man dies for his confidant. Dou Tianwang may not be the true son of heaven in the future, but his sincerity to someone in Song is not inferior to Liu Xuande's three visits to the thatched house. That's it, maybe Providence is like this, and mortals can't struggle.

"You also sit, don't stand, I'm not used to standing and talking!" After settling Song Zhengben, Dou Jiande turned around and pressed Cheng Mingzhen back to his seat with both hands. "Even if you don't come to me today, I'll look for you in the evening. But it's not for the sake of clearing Zhangcheng. In this palm-sized place, even if I can't beat it for a while, I can trap Yang Baiyan to death in it. Anyway, as soon as Li Zhongjian was defeated, the world immediately became a pot of porridge. To the south of the Yellow River, Li Mi and the Wagang army were stirring up, and the officers and troops had no strength to go north for a while. And our north side has been stirred up by Luo Yi, and it is impossible for anyone to come to Yang Shanhui's help. In addition, the surname Yang was just defeated in your hands last month, and the vitality was greatly damaged. It's no wonder that the people in the city can last for two months! ”

Cheng Mingzhen and Song Zhengben nodded together, both believing that Dou Jiande's analysis was extremely accurate. Dou Jiande smiled and continued with a somewhat smug expression: "These are all the ways that I have thought about repeatedly before I figured it out, even if there is a mistake with reality in the future, it will not be too far off." I want to talk to you two today for a more long-term perspective, what are we going to do in the future? ”

"What is the Lord's plan?" Cheng Mingzhen hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice.

In the past, he was in Ping'en County, and he really didn't think much about the future. Mainly because of the strong enemy around, he will fall into the abyss if he is not careful, rather than sitting there dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival, it is better to deal with the things in front of him in a down-to-earth manner. But the current situation is different from before, after Li Zhongjian's death, in the next two or three years, the imperial court will no longer have the strength to take care of Hebei. This vast land is a great place for heroes to show off their backs.

Dou Jiande glanced at Song Zhengben and found that his eyes also had the same question as Cheng Mingzhen. smiled and continued to add: "If you want to talk about the long-term plan, it must be the championship." Whether it is said that it is a crime of hanging the people, or saying that it is saving the people from fire and water, the final result is actually the same. They all want to replace the Yang family in the world. If my old Dou doesn't even have this ambition, there's no need to drag you to follow me. None of us are noble sons born with this golden seal in our hands, and the rich and prosperous in this life have to fight for it on our own. My old Dou will be the guardian of a county in the future, so that you can be the chief secretary and county secretary of a county. My old Dou will be the tyrant of a place in the future, and you can all be Guan Zhong Leyi. If my old Dou becomes the emperor one day, you will also follow the generals. Don't laugh at you two, it's all true. In case my old Dou is not blessed and can't be the true son of heaven, you two will have to be finished with it. In short, since we are sitting together today, we will inevitably be related in the future, sharing weal and woe. ”

Cheng Mingzhen and Song Zhengben looked at each other, and they had to admire Dou Jiande's courage to act. Even if ordinary people rise up at this time, they will twist and pinch under the banner of "Qingjun's side, punish traitorous ministers", and no one will tell the truth like Dou Jiande.

"But it's all far away, and you always have to eat one bite at a time." Dou Jiande smiled and turned the topic to the present. "The first important thing now is how we deal with the current situation in Hebei. To tell you nothing, Luo Yi sent someone to send me a letter a few days ago, asking me to go north and go with him to bully the orphans and widows left behind in Li Zhongjian's family, and divide the six counties of Boling equally. ”

"Did the king agree?" When Song Zhengben heard this, his face changed color at that time, and he asked impatiently.

"Not yet. I figured this was a bit unreliable! Dou Jiande shook his head lightly, "I don't believe Luo Yi very much, that kid is too yin." The year before last, Xue Shixiong was ordered to go south to suppress me, but before they could cross the Juma River, they were attacked by a group of people. After that, the whole world said that I sent someone to do it, and the sky was pitiful, I was in Douzigang to help the tall master fight with Xu Yuanlang, and it was impossible for me to fly to the Juma River thousands of miles away overnight with wings! ”

Cheng Mingzhen and Song Zhengben have also heard of this battle. I think it's very strange. Listening to Dou Jiande's personal complaint today, I realized that people all over the world had "wronged" this Dou master. Judging from the fact that Xue Shixiong died of grief and anger, and his subordinates were annexed by Luo Yi, it was undoubtedly the Tiger General Luo Yi who attacked Xue Shixiong on the bank of the Juma River in the name of Dou Jiande. Thinking about it, only the tiger and iron cavalry on the vertical and horizontal plugs have the ability to destroy the 30,000 Great Sui border troops overnight. The soldiers and horses in the hands of the heroes of the green forest, whether it is the Xuzhou army in its heyday or the current Dou family army, against the 30,000 officers and soldiers armed to the teeth, whether to go head-to-head or not need to be weighed.

"What do other people think?" Song Zhengben frowned and asked again.

"The matter has not been discussed publicly. I asked a few people privately, and they all suggested that I go for a fight. The six counties of Boling have not experienced any major chaos in recent years, and they have been carefully governed by Li Zhongjian, and they are almost oily now!" Dou Jiande hesitated in response, "If Luo Yi is allowed to swallow the six counties, I will definitely directly face the threat of the Tiger Iron Horse in the future." That's a first-class strong army of the Great Sui, and we can't even get together five thousand inferior horses on our side! ”

"If the king goes north, he should be killed!" Without waiting for Dou Jiande to finish speaking, Song Zhengben emphasized angrily.

It was the first time for Cheng Mingzhen to talk so much about Dou Jiande, and out of caution, he was not in a hurry to show his attitude. In addition, he also wanted to take the opportunity to listen to Song Zhengben's high opinion and see what real skills this crazy student who was respected by Dou Jiande had!

"Even if they kill, they are all out of good intentions." Dou Jiande smiled and waved his hand, "If Mr. has something to say, even if he explains, Dou will do it!" ”

Song Zhengben looked at Dou Jiande, glanced at Cheng Mingzhen again, and asked quietly: "Does the king know that although this son only has a few thousand soldiers and horses, and the territory of three counties, how has he survived under the strong enemy over the years?" And there was Zhang Jin in the front, and Gao Shida in the back, all of them were huge, but they all fell down so quickly? ”

"The foundation is unstable!" Dou Jiande sighed and nodded. "Although Brother Cheng's development is slow, he is walking step by step. And the tall master, hi ......"

As a successor, he did not want to accuse the deceased of his mistakes. However, even when Gao Shida was alive, there were many differences in the opinions of the two. If Gao Shida had listened to the slightest different advice that day, he would not have died so miserably. But then again, if Gao Shida doesn't die, there will never be a chance for him Dou Jiande to show his head in the land of Hebei!

"Did the king ever think that this Cheng brother has such a solid foundation, how could he be willing to be captured by you?"

When the words fell, Dou Jiande and Cheng Mingzhen changed their faces almost at the same time, and Qi Qi looked at Song Zhengben with annoyed eyes. Song Zhengben didn't feel that his tongue was vicious at all, shook his head, and commented with a smile, "Brother Cheng is actually going to the other extreme, only caring about development, regardless of the general trend of the world. It's like a blindfolded donkey, running thousands of miles, without leaving the house! ”

With such a vicious mouth, it is safe to be safe under Dou Jiande. changed Zhang Jin to say that he had already pulled out his heart and liver to make snacks. Cheng Mingzhen was scolded so red-faced, but he knew in his heart that Song Zhengben was not bad at all. Dou Jiande has also instructed himself before, but it is not as spicy as Song Zhengben said.

"Neither of them is right, so what does Mr. Song say?" Dou Jiande was afraid that Cheng Mingzhen wouldn't be able to stand it, so he hurriedly took over Song Zhengben's words with a smile.

"Those who aspire to win the championship should not be in a hurry. Don't wait too long. Judging the situation, when the wind rises, it flutters its wings and soars into the sky. When the wind stops, gather your wings and wait for the weather to change. If you are a goshawk and a rabbit when you are moving, and if you are a giant python panyan when you are quiet, this is the real royal road! Song Zhengben took a deep breath and talked eloquently. He is suffocated these days, and he can't stop as soon as he opens his mouth.

Dou Jiande and Cheng Mingzhen couldn't stop nodding, deeply impressed by Song Zhengben's insights. Whether he is crazy or vicious in this life, he really has some dry goods in his stomach, and it is not in vain that everyone has endured him again and again for several days.

"What the king is doing today is a state of extreme movement. Taking advantage of the triple opportunity of Li Zhongjian's defeat and the great loss of the strength of the Wagang army, and the imperial court had no time to look north, it swept through the counties in the south of Hebei. But the same cheapness will not always be there, people must know how to stop at the critical moment, restrain the greed in their hearts, in order to ensure that they do not throw out the foundation that has been in hand! ”

"Mr. said, if I go north to respond to Luo Yi, I will be greedy and chew too much?" Dou Jiande thought about it and asked tentatively.

"Exactly. When the moon is full, it is lost, and when the water is full, it overflows, which is the way of heaven. And Luo Yi took advantage of the chaos to cut down the funeral, which is an unrighteous act, people and gods are angry, why should the king be burdened by it? ! ”

If you don't cut down the funeral, it's just the morality that the princes in ancient times paid attention to, and it's a little stiff in front of you. Dou Jiande was unwilling in his heart, and continued to retort tentatively: "But after Luo Yi won the six counties of Boling, wouldn't he be like a tiger?" ”

"How easy is it?" Song Zhengben scoffed at Luo Yi's behavior. "The king is so worried. Wouldn't Li Yuan in Hedong have the same headache? Not to mention that the hearts of the people in the six counties of Boling are all towards Li Zhongjian's widow, but with the fact that Mrs. Li is from the Li family in Taiyuan, Li Yuan in Hedong cannot sit idly by. ”

So Song thought that although the six counties of Boling were in decline at the moment, they might not be so easy to be swallowed. Instead of putting the icing on the cake for Luo Yi, King Dou should send charcoal to Mrs. Li. It can not only win a good reputation, but also let the whole world know that the king is a rare righteous man, which is extraordinary and reckless. He can also sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and collect the benefits of the hunter. In short, the longer the six counties of Boling fought with the Tiger Ben, the more tragic it became, and the more time and space were left for the king to move. When the tiger and iron cavalry are sharpened, it is not too late for the king to raise troops to the north! ”

A few words made Dou Jiande suddenly open. "Sir is really a talent for wind music. Old Dou, I've picked up the baby! If we have a few more readers like you in Douzigang, the world will definitely be ours! ”

Cheng Mingzhen, who was sitting on the side and listening, also benefited a lot, straightened his body, and thanked Song Zhengben: "What Mr. said is very true, the kid only understood today what it is like to die at night!" ”

"General Cheng's words are serious!" Song Zhengben respectfully replied, "Although Song's words were fierce just now, they were also a little sorry for the general. If the general is good at seizing the opportunity, I am afraid that he will also have a competition with Dou Tianwang. It's just that in that case, the people in the counties of Hebei will be even more miserable. It's better to fight side by side with King Dou Tianwang and reshape the peaceful and prosperous world! ”

Dou Jiande liked to listen to the second half of the sentence, and interrupted with a smile, "That's it, that's it." Our green forest road is beating around, except for harming the people, I'm afraid it doesn't make any sense. It's just that those of us were also flat-headed people at the beginning. It's a pity that I always have just lived a few good days, and when I turn my head, I forget the reason for the rebellion in the first place! ”

There is no need for Song Zhengben to emphasize, Cheng Mingzhen can't afford to compete with Dou Jiande anymore. The difference in strength between the two sides is more than a drop and a half. First of all, in terms of strategic vision, he admits that he is far inferior to Dou Jiande. In addition, Dou Jiande's martial arts have Wang Fubao, and the text has Song Zhengben, which can be described as full of talents. And Cheng Mingzhen has a lot of brave generals under his command, but none of them can have the talent of a strategist like Song Zhengben.

"What the lord said is exactly what Cheng thinks!" arched his hand, Cheng Mingzhen once again expressed his position to Dou Jiande. "Cheng can't be under the harsh government, so the day he can see the rebuilding of order in this life, he is already satisfied. As for the feudal marquis and worship the generals...... he smiled, letting everyone see his face clearly, "It's the icing on the cake, everyone wants to, but where to go depends on the fate!" ”

"Brother Cheng can be civil and martial, and he will be the head of a party in the future!" Dou Jiande smiled and promised, "As for Mr. Song, no matter how happy he is, Old Dou will keep him by his side for the sake of teaching sooner or later in this life." ”

Song Zhengben rolled his eyes, very dissatisfied with Dou Jiande's current image. Renjun needs to have a shelf. Although Dou Jiande's current approach is conducive to winning the hearts of the people, it will inevitably be more gracious and less powerful in the future, which will affect the implementation of the decree.

But these are all small sections, and you can slowly grind him to change. At present, the most important thing is to help Dou Jiande give the basic development strategy. Thinking of this, Song Zhengben put away his smile and solemnly suggested: "Giving up going north to join Luo Yi and secretly supporting the six counties of Boling to resist the strong enemy is only the first step that the king needs to do." Otherwise, even if the king wins three of the six counties, in case Luo Yi suddenly turns his face, our brothers are not the opponent of the Tiger Ben Iron Rider at the moment! ”

Dou Jiande also knew that the combat effectiveness of the minions under his command was not strong, so he nodded and echoed in a low voice: "That's true." Our green forest heroes fight wars, and they always rely on a large number of people. Or rely on the familiarity of the terrain and play a little intrigue. But in the face of the truly powerful, a large number of people may not work, and intrigues and tricks may not be effective. It's like smashing a hammer with an egg, no matter how much you throw it, no matter how little you throw it, you can't help the other party in the end! ”

"Song once heard someone say that the first emperor of the Great Sui devoted the strength of the country to create a tiger and iron horse. And Luo Yi has lost the supply of the imperial court in recent years, and in order to support this group of tigers under his command, he has scraped Youzhou to the sky. Therefore, with our current family background, if we want to build the same strong army, I am afraid that it will not be possible to do it without three years and five years of hard work. Brother Cheng has trained soldiers in Zhaozhou, so he should know the difficulty! ”

Cheng Mingzhen nodded solemnly, "That's true." Armor staff weapons, all of them are money-eating goods. Skilled craftsmen are also very hard to find. As for horses, the cost of raising a good horse is enough to raise ten ordinary soldiers! ”

But the king need not be discouraged. The first thing to fight for the world is the mandate of heaven, the second is to rely on the geographical advantage, and the third is to rely on the people's heart. And people's hearts are the most important thing. As long as you win the hearts of the people, I am afraid that the destiny of heaven is not enough to fear, the geographical advantage is not enough, and there is no place for millions of heroes! "I am afraid that Dou Jiande will lose confidence by being said, Song Zhengben added loudly.

This is a bit false, and Dou Jiande may not be able to listen to it. Song Zhengben thought for a while and continued: "The so-called people's hearts are not only supported by the people. Light taxes and thin taxes, disaster relief, and recuperation with the people. In itself, it will make the place more and more abundant. When the land became rich, all walks of life prospered. There will be more and more surplus money in the hands of the people, and business travel will inevitably come to the news. With more business travel, the supply of pig iron, timber and leather goods will become more and more abundant. With money, materials, and enough craftsmen, you can build armor and weapons by yourself, and you don't have to wait to grab them from the official army! ”

"People think the same way, no one is born with a penchant for being poor. We are rich here, and outsiders are poor. When outsiders want to break in, the people will naturally fight desperately to defend their family property. At that time, large families will contribute money and food, and ordinary people will contribute. The city of five zhang can rise in October! And the king sent troops to fight others, even if the guards were willing to fight, and the soldiers and people were all in the local area, who would want to continue to live a hard life with this person? ”

"As for the field battle, it is the director of the king, General Wang, and General Cheng, and you can put more beaks in the future. But one thing can be emphasized is that the enemy army is also good for food, and the war horses need forage. No matter how strong the soldiers and horses are, they will only be able to wait for death for ten days and a half months. Although the tiger is brave, he avoids his sharp cherry blossoms and goes on with him for a long time. The two sides are not fighting for the courage of soldiers, but for the depth of each other's foundations! In the final analysis, it is a matter of people's hearts and money. ”

Drinker's note: Dou Jiande is not an outstanding military strategist, but he is indeed remarkable in governing the locality. Many years after his defeat and death, the people of Hebei are still secretly worshipping his spiritual seat. At that time, it was already the late Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, and the people were unusually solid, and the market value of doumi was only three dollars.
