Chapter 2 The Yellow Sparrow (Four Tops

All the way to Qinghe City, Cheng Mingzhen still couldn't recover from the shock.

Li Zhongjian's army was defeated and died, and the six counties of Boling, which had made it difficult for everyone to sleep, were struggling under Luo Yi's tiger iron horse, and they could be destroyed at any time. And many of his preparations in the past year have been based on the assumption that "the Boling army was ordered to go south, and the three counties of Zhaozhou were the first to bear the brunt." Now, the Boling army was about to be wiped out, and many of his preparations were left in vain. What's even more depressing is that if he had known that the Boling Army would have such a result, he would not have had to rush to fight a series of wars with Yang Shanhui, Lu Fangyuan and others. If he hadn't taken the initiative to attack Lu Fangyuan and Yang Shanhui in the north, his back road would not have been copied by Sang Xian, and of course, he would not have to face the coercion of Wagang Wang Deren's department at the moment of exhaustion, let alone resolutely surrender to Dou Jiande, which had no choice.

In the final analysis, this time, Cheng Mingzhen still suffered from information blockage and lack of overall vision. And Dou Jiande reaped the benefits of the fisherman at a critical moment, I am afraid that it cannot be explained by just the word "luck". Wang Fubao has a very clear sentence, Dou Jiande is paying attention to the movements of other heroes in Hebei all the time, and he is doing his best to investigate every battle that takes place in this land, and stealing from it, analyzing and understanding every green forest peer and opponent.

This is the current gap between Cheng Mingzhen and Dou Jiande. He is good at managing a corner, but Dou Jiande always focuses on the overall situation. Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a corner. Therefore, the Zhaozhou army won a hundred battles, but the more it fought, the weaker it became. The Dou family's army was defeated one after another, but it soared into the sky. Therefore, the Zhaozhou Army eventually became a branch of the Dou Family Army, but it was not wronged at all.

Dou Jiande is a very careful person, and after seeing that Cheng Mingzhen was preoccupied along the way, he tried not to send the Zhaozhou army as the main force in the battle arrangement, so as not to give the officers and men of the Zhaozhou army the impression that he was trying to eliminate dissidents by the hands of the enemy. In order to make Cheng Mingzhen feel at ease with himself, he not only did not transfer a single soldier under Cheng Mingzhen's command, but also assigned 2,000 people from his newly recruited minions to the Zhaozhou Army, all of them were ordinary minions with no roots, and the positions above the team were all empty, leaving them to Cheng Mingzhen to appoint personally.

This kind of generosity, whether it is sincere or deliberately pretended, is impossible not to be moved. After setting up a camp outside Qingzhang City, Cheng Mingzhen took Wang Ermao, Zhang Jin, Duan Qing and other core generals to personally go to Dou Jiande's Chinese army to express his gratitude. Dou Jiande was eating at the time, and after listening to the report of his own soldiers, he immediately pushed the dishes and chopsticks to the side, stood up and ordered left and right: "Take it down first, and give me hot later." Find someone to make a good pot of tea, and I'll talk to General Cheng while drinking! ”

Say yes left and right, turn around and go to prepare. While changing his clothes, Dou Jiande frowned and added, "There is new tea sent by Li Mi in the cabinet in the back camp, you can ask Lao Kong to get the key." General Cheng spent time in a honeypot when he was a child, and it is estimated that too poor tea may not be able to fit his mouth! ”

The soldiers said yes again and ran away. In his heart, he couldn't help but secretly wonder, "Isn't it just a grass chicken that has fallen on the shelf, how can it be worthy of so much attention from King Dou Tian?" ”

The same words fell on the ears of Song Zhengben, the commander of Raoyang County of the Great Sui Dynasty who was forcibly expropriated, but the effect was completely different. Since falling into the thief camp, he has tried to provoke Dou Jiande to break off, and he has also tried to learn from Xu Shu in Cao Ying, expressing his protest with silent silence. But these methods did not have any effect, Dou Jiande entrusted him with the high position of the head of the camp, and always took him with him in and out. Whatever the plan, whether he wants to open his mouth or not, he always lets him listen to it on the side.

After persisting like this for less than half a month, Song Zheng couldn't control his mouth a little. Many people under Dou Jiande obviously lack foresight, but Ling Jing, the chief bookkeeper of Pingchang County, is a literati, but he only knows how to nod and agree, and he has no bones that a literati should have. Song Zhengben couldn't bear it anymore and sneered, Dou Jiande immediately got the information he really needed from the cynicism, and he didn't mean those ridicules at all.

Song Zheng instinctively saw that Dou Jiande was not only generous to himself. For all the literati and writers who were brought in, to all the heroes of the green forest who came to join him, and even to those who were forcibly incorporated into the Douzigang system after being subdued, Dou Jiande was very generous and tolerant. This generosity sometimes gives a very roundabout feeling, but gradually, this broadness melts almost everyone.

The Great Sui Dynasty was already crumbling. But the world will not be in turmoil forever. One chaos and one rule has almost been a fixed number in the Central Plains since ancient times. As a reader who once had the dream of "governing the country and leveling the world", Song Zhengben had to find himself a real worthy object among the countless heroes in troubled times. With the help of this hero, he realized his dreams, and became famous through the ages like Sima Xiangru and Zhuge Kongming. Is Dou Jiande a master worth following? Song Zhengben is not clear. But through the observation and collision in the past few days, he at least knew one reality, Dou Jiande's personal qualities were much better than those of the Great Sui Emperor and all the dignitaries he had ever seen. From another point of view, in addition to his relatively humble background and his speech being a little too straightforward, Dou Jiande basically has many of the necessary characteristics of the founding master recorded in the classics, especially his mind and bearing, which are beyond the reach of many heroes throughout the ages.

Just as he was thinking about it, the laughter of Dou Jiande and Cheng Mingzhen had already come in from outside. "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll surround Qinghe City, and then let Wang Fubao and Yang Gongqing patrol the periphery with their own soldiers. He *** Yang Shanhui doesn't have wings, can he still fly out? You and your brothers have been fighting lately, and we're all tired, so you might as well rest for a few days and let others go first. When everyone is not successful, you will take Brother Zhaozhou to kill Yang Shanhui for the last time......"

"The lord is very loving, and the last will be grateful. But the last general and his brothers were taken care of by the lord again and again, and they could not go unrewarded. Just borrow the head of Yang Shanhui and use it, which can be regarded as a meeting gift for the lord! ”

"You don't have to, you can join, it's already the best gift!" Dou Jiande's words were very real, and he did not hide from Cheng Mingzhen the role of the Xuzhou Army in the momentum of Douzigang. "Yang Gongqing and Xu Yuanlang are close to me, and it is easy to talk. You're so far away from me, I didn't expect to be so happy to agree. In the future, when other heroes from all over Hebei heard about it, they would naturally ponder it in their hearts. If my old Dou sends someone to persuade them again, it will get twice the result with half the effort! ”

As he spoke, the Lord and the two men entered in turn. Song Zhengben didn't know what the two sides were going to talk about next, so he stood up and prepared to avoid it. Dou Jiande stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, "Mr. Song, don't be busy. Brother Cheng is familiar with the situation in the Qingzhang area, and he can just add to our plan. You just listen to it next to you, and by the way, I will point out a few words to Dou! ”

In the face of such an enthusiastic smile, Song Zhengben really couldn't wipe his face and threw his sleeves away. Just as he was about to find a step for himself, Dou Jiande had already pulled Cheng Mingzhen over, "Brother Cheng is late, I guess no one has introduced you yet." This is the main book of Song, which turned out to be the order of Raoyang County. The only clean official in the land of Hebei. It's just that luck is a little back, and it happened in troubled times. The two of you will be closer in the future. It's all about reading seeds, maybe we can talk about it together! ”

Cheng Mingzhen had already seen Song Zhengben's donkey temper a few days ago, and hurriedly smiled and saluted. Song Zhengben was more polite to him than to others. He smiled and gave him back.

Dou Jiande looked strange, and couldn't help asking, "Does Mr. Song seem to be in a good mood today?" In the past, you saw who my men mocked and ridiculed! ”

Song Zhengben shook his head with a wry smile, "Those things that only kill people and oversell goods, of course Song doesn't bother to pay attention to them!" And General Cheng has tens of thousands of people alive in the Ping'en generation, which is worthy of Song to return him half a courtesy! ”

Dou Jiande's eyes flashed, and he smiled. Today can be regarded as a double happiness for him, first of all, Cheng Mingzhen can take the initiative to ask Ying, indicating that his efforts in the past few days have been quite effective. Is this the second piece of good news? Song Zhengben did not put up a mess, and it was rare that he did not open his mouth and count people randomly, which shows that this sour attitude has begun to soften, and he recognizes his status as the lord in disguise.

He was proud, and his words became more enthusiastic. "Sit, sit, sit and talk. There are no outsiders here, and it's not a formal occasion, so you two can be casual, and I'm just as casual as myself! ”

"In formal settings, you're casual enough!" Song Zhengben muttered secretly in his heart. The person sat down according to Dou Jiande's meaning.

The soldiers ran up and down to deliver hot tea, and Dou Jiande poured two bowls with his own hands, one bowl for Song Zhengben and one bowl for Cheng Mingzhen, "This is good tea." I can't say exactly what the good thing is. You two may be able to taste it, but my old Dou drink is pure waste! ”

Cheng Mingzhen hurriedly stood up and took it with both hands. I wanted to say a few polite words, but I looked at Song Zhengben, and found that the other party just owed my ass, so I drank it as a matter of course. I had to "follow the customs" and pick up the tea cup and taste it slowly.

Dou Jiande poured himself a lamp, pouted and blew it cold, and then drank it all. "The taste is too light. Not enough to smuggle up. If you want my old Dou to drink, it's really ...... that Jiangnan tea brick."

"Ahem...... Song Zhengben almost didn't drink the tea into his trachea, choking and coughing loudly. Dou Jiande hurriedly got up and picked up his back with his own hands, "Sir, sir, slower, there is still tea, if Mr. likes it, just take it!"

Cheng Mingzhen was almost choked as well, covering his mouth with a teacup and panting desperately. The tea bricks that are transported to the outside of the plug are generally pressed by the thickest tea leaves, and compared to the tip of the Ming front hair in the hand, it is simply compared to the pearl. It is rare that Dou Jiande does not know the goods, and it is even more rare that Dou Jiande is a person who actually blew up his shortcomings in front of his subordinates without care.

"I, Dou Jiande, am a rough man, and I was forced step by step to get to where I am today. That's why I need everyone's help even more. For my old Dou to live by himself, and for our fellow villagers in Hebei to survive in this troubled world, the two of you, please in the future! Dou Jiande suddenly put away his smile and solemnly requested.

Ben starts.
