Chapter 2: The Yellow Sparrow (No. 3 Middle School)
Chapter 2 Yellow Sparrow (Three
Dou Jiande has neither three heads nor six arms. He has a big tall man that is very common among the people of Hebei, with long legs and broad shoulders, and his body bones are very strong. Due to the long-term exposure to the wind and sun in his early years, his complexion is a little darker, and his eyes are particularly bright with two thick eyebrows. But the look in these eyes is not harsh, but a little banter and naughty. Especially when he smiles, his gaze will become softer and more relaxed, like a playful child playing a game that will never get bored.
Cheng Mingzhen led the officers and soldiers of the Zhaozhou Army to meet Dou Jiande's brigade in Linqing County, Qinghe County. As a newly subordinate subordinate, he did not dare to come all the way to visit him, so he chose this place to express his respect and facilitate any next move. As the name suggests, Linqing County is definitely very close to the Qinghe River. If Dou Jiande wants to continue to attack Yang Shanhui, this can be used as a temporary food store and a place to collect the injured. With the convenient water conservancy of the Yongji Canal outside the city, the army could reach the Qinghe city in two hours to the north. And in case of any unpredictable changes, the Zhaozhou army can also quickly retreat, and after retreating from Zhangshui, it will defend with danger, so as not to end up in a chicken and egg fight.
"You kid, what do you think of my old Dou!" At a glance, he saw the ghost idea in Cheng Mingzhen's heart, and Dou Jiande shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Don't worry, as long as my old Dou is here for a day, the one-third of an acre of land in Ping'en County and Juluze is yours, and no one will touch it!"
didn't expect Dou Jiande to speak so directly, and Cheng Mingzhen's face turned red all of a sudden. "The subordinates just came to greet the lord, and they didn't mean anything else!" He heard his voice tremble. I felt my lips dry and my heart tightened. But at the same time, he kept telling himself, "Calm down, calm down, don't show cowardice, don't show cowardice!" Don't be fooled! ”
It is best to meet at the beginning of the relationship. The first few painful experiences made him unwilling to trust anyone easily, whether the other party was a kind elder or a rough hero. Thinking back then, Lin County Ling and Zhang Jin called these people polite to him at the beginning. But what about afterward? Haven't they all gradually bared their fangs? Lu Fangyuan's sentence before he died asked well, if Dou Jiande is really as mellow as Wang Fubao described, how can he sit in the position of the leader of Douzigang?
The position of the head wolf in the pack is determined by biting out of teeth, not by benevolence and morality. Today's Cheng Mingzhen is no longer the Cheng Xiaojiu he was many years ago, he will always keep a bit of reason and a little doubt in his heart. The rivers and lakes gave him a nickname called "Nine-headed Jiao", and Cheng Mingzhen himself knew that this name was a bit exaggerated. He just wants to make himself and the people around him live safely, so his personality has become more cautious and less aggressive. If you can really grow nine heads, only one head will be forward, and the other eight will all be facing backwards.
Dou Jiande smiled again, and didn't point out how much contradiction Cheng Mingzhen's words had with his performance. The young man's thoughts are well understood, and if he changes places with the other party, he will also wrap himself tightly. It's just that he played very skillfully with this hand back then, and he played so much that people couldn't find fault with it. And Cheng Mingzhen's enthusiasm in this regard is obviously not enough, and his speech and demeanor reveal a little twist and jerkiness.
"Brother Xiao Jiu and Sister Juanzi were afraid that the army would not be able to receive food, so they made preparations in advance. In order to transport the military rations to Linqing, he used tens of thousands of people! Afraid that there would be a gap between the two sides as soon as they met, Dou Hongxian stepped forward and explained to Dou Jiande with a smile.
In front of her brother, her voice unconsciously took on a bit of the inherent coquettishness of a girl, which made everyone's eyes light up immediately. Especially a few young generals who followed behind Dou Jiande, who originally looked at Cheng Mingzhen's gaze and still had a bit of a taste of picking bones in eggs, but at this moment, all their thoughts were attracted by her, and they didn't care about being jealous.
"You, this mission is not well accomplished!" Dou Jiande shook his head again, his face full of love. Dragged down by him, the Dou family was confiscated by the government. In addition to himself, only his son and this sister who was nearly 20 years younger than him were left in the original 30 people. So no matter what this sister does, Dou Jiande will not be too serious.
"What's wrong with me, didn't I pass the words on for you as they were?" Dou Hongxian didn't give up, pouting and asked.
"Didn't I say that? I don't want to disturb the people on Brother Cheng's side. It's not easy for them, fighting from spring to mid-autumn, ala......s," Dou Jiande complained in a low voice, explaining more than accusing.
The second half of the sentence was for Cheng Mingzhen and others. The Dou family army is now full of soldiers, and there is really no need to extort the little money of the Xuzhou army. The sea is inclusive, and there is tolerance. Sensei said that he has always admired young people, and even if his heart is full of disgust for young people, he will not do those things that take advantage of people's danger. The days when everyone gets along with each other are not only in the past few days, but also in the future, they will naturally understand each other's temperament and see if the other party treats each other sincerely.
However, Honghong's envoy this time is not for nothing, at least judging from her name for Cheng Mingzhen and his wife, the relationship between her and Cheng Mingzhen and his wife is quite harmonious. Coupled with Wang Fubao, who has been grinning with a big mouth and smirking, it can be seen that the first contact between the two sides has made a good start. When Wang Fubao was sent to lead the team to rescue Cheng Mingzhen, one of the important considerations was that Wang Fubao was honest and honest, and it was easy to win the favor of the other party.
Sure enough, after listening to Dou Jiande's words of knowing the cold and knowing the warmth so well, Cheng Mingzhen's face immediately appeared with a touch that was not pretended. He brought his mount forward again, and he said with a smile: "This year's harvest on my side is not bad, and it is not a problem to supply the army with food and clothing for a month or two." Besides, General Wang has been thousands of miles away from the predicament, and he should also get a share from the battlefield capture! ”
"He arrived a little later, a little earlier, maybe he could catch Sang Xianhe!" Dou Jiande was very realistic, and seeing that Cheng Mingzhen didn't feel pain for taking out some military rations, he didn't continue to waste saliva on the same topic. "It's also my fault that I didn't dare to make a decision immediately after getting the news, and it was a little delayed for a few days. Otherwise......"
"Don't say that, my lord. Your side was also fighting a lot at that time, and you were able to free up your hands to pull your subordinates, and your subordinates are already grateful! Cheng Mingzhen hurriedly interrupted Dou Jiande's words and thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
To be honest, although the ending of merging into the Dou family army made many people under his command feel lost. But compared to being forcibly annexed by Wang Deren's department of the Wagang army, this ending is much better. You can't be too dissatisfied, how much money you have, how much money you have, how much you can eat.
"Don't say it, don't say it. You little guy is too polite, so polite that it gives me a headache for Lao Dou! Dou Jiande waved his hand again and again, and couldn't stand Cheng Mingzhen's enthusiasm. Come, let's go into the city and talk, the sun is a little poisonous, and everyone is dying of thirst! ”
After all, just like Wang Fubao that day, he didn't even bring a personal guard, and rode alone to the opposite side of the Zhaozhou army. Cheng Mingzhen saw it, hurriedly followed, and motioned to the brothers to get out of the way with his eyes. Xiong Kuohai and Wang Ermao separated the team with a "bang", and the long lance was raised into a canyon to pay tribute to Dou Jiande.
This time, Dou Jiande was not polite. Instead, he looked around appreciatively, and at the same time clasped his fists and saluted the brethren. Wang Fubao, Dou Hongxian, and the Gan Wenwu under Dou Jiande, such as Song Zhengben, the commander of Raoyang County, Jingcheng Cheng, Kong Deshao, Jingcheng County, Ling Jing, the chief secretary of Pingchang County, Cao Dan, the elder brother of Dou Jiande's current wife, Gao Yaxian, Ruan Junming, etc., also followed Dou Jiande through the ranks of the Zhaozhou army one after another.
This team, which only has about three thousand people, will not be too easy to digest. The same feeling welled up in the hearts of almost everyone. Song Zhengben and other civil officials came to this conclusion on the neat armor and clean weapons of the brothers. The eyes of Cao Dan and other generals were more attracted by the old and new scars on the faces and hands of the brothers of the Xuzhou Army. Scars are the glory of veterans. And the veteran is the soul of a team. It is true that there are only these soldiers and horses left in the Zhaozhou army, but if the soldiers and horses of the Zhaozhou army really fight hard, the tens of thousands of troops brought by everyone may not really be able to swallow them in one bite.
"I told you a long time ago that Brother Cheng is both civil and military, and he is a rare talent, how about it? I was wrong! Dou Jiande turned around casually and asked the cronies behind him.
Wang Fubao and Dou Hongxian have already expressed similar views to him through different channels. So look at each other and laugh and don't respond. Song Zhengben, who was following behind Wang Fubao, had to take the lead in expressing his position, "I admire it so much!" He praised loudly, "No wonder Yang Shanhui ignored a few rogues around him, and found Ping En endlessly." If I were in the position of Yang Shanhui, it would probably be the same strategy! The remaining thieves are all scabies, and Zhaozhou is the sore of the heart. Alas, the imperial court has not done anything else in these years, and only cares about forcing the heroes and heroes to a dead end one by one! ”
"Mr. Song is a person from Douzigang right now!" Gao Yaxian was dissatisfied with the way Song Zhengben said it, and reminded coldly.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Mr. Song is telling the truth! Dou Jiande stopped with a smile. Many of the civilian officials under his command were forcibly surrendered after being captured, and it was inevitable that they would still stand from the perspective of the officials and soldiers when they spoke. But listening to it is clear, no matter what angle he stands on, as long as his suggestion is beneficial to Dou Jiajun, he should be relieved to speak boldly.
"Congratulations to the Heavenly King!" Kong Deshao could speak better than Song Zhengben, and he also integrated into the Dou Jiajun earlier, and took the stubble with a smile. "Congratulations to General Cheng at the same time!"
"What kind of sycophants are you sour ding, you don't shoot clearly, it will always cause us to follow you in circles!" Dou Jiande rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile.
"At the beginning of troubled times, the king needs to choose the minister, and the minister also needs to choose the king." Worthy of being a descendant of a saint, Condesau opened his mouth and quoted the scriptures. "The lord has General Cheng, fortunately. General Cheng was fortunate to meet the lord. It can be described as a ...... of the storm."
His words were interrupted by a cheerful drum beat. Everyone looked up with a smile, and the Linqing City Gate had arrived.
