Chapter 3 Drifting (Part I)
Seeing Song Zhengben's expression, he immediately felt that what he just said was very easy to be misinterpreted, and he was afraid that the more he described it, it would get darker and darker, and when he was irritable, the big tent door was pushed open by Hula, and Dou Hongxian hurriedly ran in.
"Brother, you ......" The girl's voice carried an inherent coquettishness, which sounded lovable. Unfortunately, she came at a very bad time. Without waiting for a sentence to finish, Dou Jiande immediately reprimanded: "Why is something so urgent? Don't you even understand the announcement? This is the big tent of the Chinese army, not our backyard! I don't know how to obey the rules, what face do you let me have to say to others! ”
"Brother......" Dou Hongxian was taken aback and hesitated to respond. The Dou family was wiped out by the government that year, and only two brothers and sisters and a child survived. So they have a deep affection for each other and have never tried to hurt each other. Suddenly scolded by her brother in front of outsiders, she couldn't adapt for a while, and her eyes were suddenly full of tears.
"I'm almost mad at you. What a person, still scorpion stinging. Dou Jiande's heart softened, and the tone of his voice eased accordingly. I'm discussing something important with Mr. Song, if you don't have anything urgent, just go to the side tent and wait for me to get someone to eat, and wash your face by the way! ”
Dou Hongxian nodded and left silently. Looking at his sister's head that drooped down in an instant, Dou Jiande couldn't bear it in his heart. Reluctantly grinned, turned back to Song Zhengben and asked, "Where did we talk about just now?" This kid is really spoiled by me. I don't understand the rules at all! ”
"The subordinates have also forgotten where they just said!" Song Zhengben shook his head and gave Dou Jiande an understanding smile. "Seems to be the way to get down, right? The lord's opinion is actually correct. But it must be different from person to person, and everything must be as the Lord said that day, and there should be no rush! ”
"Sir knows me!" Dou Jiande was relieved, and his smile immediately became relaxed. He understood the meaning of Song Zhengben's words, although in fact Song Zhengben may have misinterpreted his original words.
He originally wanted to express that he didn't need to fight in the same room with Yang Gongqing and others, even if the other party broke away from the Dou family's army sequence, it would not pose a threat to the great cause he sought. Because these guys don't know the art of war, and they don't know how to govern the place. The biggest destination in this life is to be a rogue or an eagle dog in the hands of others, and he can't stand on his own at all.
And Song Zhengben obviously extended the target of what he just said to everyone, especially Cheng Mingzhen. Compared with Yang Gongqing, Shi Zan and others, Cheng Mingzhen's attainments in the art of war are undoubtedly more than half a step higher. And Cheng Mingzhen knows how to govern the people and how to "cast the foundation" for his future, even if he does not rely on the Dou family, this son may also dominate one side. Therefore, for a talent like Cheng Mingzhen, we must not only entrust it with important tasks, but also guard against its self-respect. Where the specific proportions are, it is completely dependent on the use of their own grasp. If used properly, young people are a sharp sword, invincible in the army of ten thousand horses. If used incorrectly, this double-edged sword has the potential to backlash and allow it to cut itself.
Since it has been misunderstood, it is simply wrong to make mistakes, anyway, it will be clear to you over time. With this kind of thought, Dou Jiande does not intend to continue to dwell on the same issue. Regarding how to deal with the heroes of the green forest and take them for his own use, he thinks that he still has a bit of a way, at least not worse than Song Zhengben, the former county prince.
"The lord is a man of the world, and there are some things that don't need to be left in my beak." Song Zhengben didn't have the heart to be distracted on an embarrassing topic, and smiled to divert the attention of both parties, "Regarding the recent exhibition strategy after taking Wuyang County, I will sort out a little bit in the next few days." After that, I will petition the lord to take a look, and if there is any inconsistency with the actual situation, I hope the lord will not hesitate to give advice! ”
"Well, there's Mr. Law!" Dou Jiande nodded lightly. "At the moment, there are too few talents in our army, so we have to make my husband work harder. In the future, if there are still sages in Wuyang, Qinghe and other places, I hope that Mr. will invite him to come to the camp for a while. Even if it is not for Dou, for the people of Hebei to live a peaceful life again, it is worth them to come out and take a look! ”
"What our army is doing in Qinghe County will not take long to spread. After laying Wuyang, the lord will announce the governance goals one by one, and I believe that many people will understand that we are different from other green forest heroes! Song Zhengben nodded and readily agreed.
Scholars must take refuge in a master in order to finally realize their own value. Now that the Great Sui is crumbling, many talented people are waiting for the opportunity to go out of the mountain. Song Zhengben believes that his choice of Dou Jiande is correct, and he also hopes to recommend his choice to his former friends.
"Hmmm! At that time, Dou will build a golden platform and hand it over to Mr. to recruit wise men on my behalf! When it comes to future plans, Dou Jiande's eyes are also full of longing. To fight the world, he needs to rely on the old brothers Wang Fubao, Cao Dan, and Ruan Junming, but to govern the place, he still has to rely on the old officials and literati of the Great Sui Dynasty. Although these guys have more or less had a bit of a holiday with the rebels, it is all something that can be revealed, and as long as everyone works together in the future, he will definitely not turn over old accounts again.
The two chatted about trivial matters in government affairs, and then said goodbye with a smile. ordered his soldiers to bring dinner, and Dou Jiande ate a few bites indiscriminately, but he felt very tasteless. After thinking about it carefully, I finally remembered that my sister was still waiting for me in the tent. I felt so guilty in my heart, sighed, put down the dishes and chopsticks and went to make amends.
Dou Hongxian had the same coarse tea and light rice in front of him, and he ate the same less. By the light of the jumping candles, you can see that both of her eyelids are swollen, and there are faint water stains at the corners of her eyes. Dou Jiande stepped forward distressedly, intending to make a joke with his sister to ease the atmosphere. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the table, Dou Hongxian had already quickly stood up from the table and saluted: "The people don't know that the king is coming, and she is not welcomed, so please don't blame the king!" ”
"Don't scold me! Didn't an outsider just now have to show him?! Dou Jiande grabbed his sister's sleeve and explained with a smile.
Dou Hongxian broke free gently, took a few steps back, half-squatted and continued: "I was ignorant just now, don't blame the king." In the future, if the people have an offense, they should be beaten with a military stick, and they should be cut off and their brains should be cut off. Don't delay your ambition for the sake of brother and sister affection! “
"Yes, yes, the more you talk about it, the more boundless it becomes!" Dou Jiande is twenty years older than his sister, and he is like an eldest brother like a father. "Look at this crying man, his eyelids are swollen. When others see it, they think I'm bullying you. Won't I apologize? You wait, when my brother goes out to find a thorn to carry! ”
As he spoke, he really pulled his legs and walked out. Seeing this, Dou Hongxian hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed it, "It's not in shape!" It's also a green forest with a scoop, not even as good as a child! ”
"In front of his sister, what kind of green forest boss!" Dou Jiande hit the snake with the stick, and continued to beg with kind words: "Except for your new sister-in-law, there are only three people left in our family, no matter how much I bastard, what can I really do to you?" Just now I was talking to Mr. Song about how to strictly enforce military discipline, and you happened to break in. If he doesn't say a few words to you, he should laugh at me for bending the law for personal gain! ”
"I won't come to you again, so as not to delay your big business!" Dou Hongxian was unrelenting, but the expression on his face softened first.
"The back account of my study, as well as your sister-in-law's, you can enter casually. But the big tent of the Chinese army, you have to be more careful in the future! If I don't care about you, I don't have the cheekiness to care about others. It's me who is wrong today, and I shouldn't have started to lose my temper at you without first notice. If the same situation happens again in the future, it must be that you are wrong! You have to be considerate of me, you can't show others the jokes of our two brothers and sisters! Looking at his sister's eyes, Dou Jiande solemnly emphasized.
"I'm too lazy to fight with you!" Dou Hongxian turned his head away and refused to look at his brother. She knew that her brother was not the same as before. It turned out that brothers and sisters could talk about everything, but now, my brother has a huge country in his heart, and it is impossible to accommodate his family in everything.
"What are you looking for me today?" Dou Jiande sat down by himself, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked while drinking.
"It's already cold! Beware of drinking bad stomach! Dou Hongxian whispered angrily. snatched the teacup, took it out of the door along with the teapot and tea tray, and handed it to the soldiers on call to re-boil.
"Why is it so expensive, don't you drink the cold water in the winter back then?" Dou Jiande grinned. "What is it that makes you so anxious?"
"It doesn't matter! I'll just pay attention to it later! Dou Hongxian sighed softly and responded in a low voice. I saw that the female soldiers under Sister Juan Zi were very capable, so I also wanted to form a women's corps. When you fight, you can wave the flag and shout for you, and after that, you can also wrap the wounds of the color horn and apply medicine......"
"No, no, it's your turn to go to war?" didn't wait for his sister to finish speaking, Dou Jiande couldn't wait to veto. "I have seen the female soldiers in the Zhaozhou battalion, and they are indeed very capable. The brethren also appreciated. But for those female soldiers, it is not necessarily a good thing. Drilling around in the pile of men every day, how will I get married and have children in the future? ”
"Why is it related to marrying again?" Dou Hongxian glared at his brother dissatisfied, "Caixia and Hongling are all married, and they are very well married!" ”
"They are them, you are you. They are married to brothers under them, and they know each other's roots, so they are not afraid of others picking! Dou Jiande was very stubborn in this matter and refused to let go at all.
"What's wrong with me?" Dou Hongxian was so angry that her mouth pouted, "Isn't Sister Juan also married very well?" You also said the day before yesterday that Cheng Mingzhenneng is a rare hero! ”
"Is it a good word for you to be Jade Rakshasa?" Dou Jiande shrugged his shoulders and whispered. "Cheng Mingzhen dared to marry her, that was her blessing. Someone else may not have the guts. You don't know men at all, and when you play with women, you naturally like to look for those who are bold and spicy, dare to speak and laugh. It's fun, it's fun, it's fun to play, anyway, it's a passerby, so you don't have to think too much. But marrying the one back home, who doesn't want to be a quiet lady? Even if her husband has been away for several years, she can not ask about outside affairs, bury her head and devote herself to teaching her children and honoring her in-laws! ”
"What's the truth?" The red line of the sinus is a knot. I didn't expect my brother to be so old-fashioned in his heart. "I don't want to marry a man who even my mother-in-law is suspicious of? Anyway, I can use the knife myself, I can ride a horse, and I can gallop on a horse in this life, and I can at least have a good time where I want to go! ”
"Talking about children again, isn't it!" Dou Jiande shook his head with a smile, "If our family doesn't encounter a catastrophe, from the time you are thirteen years old, you will be strictly forbidden to go out." Over the years, you have followed me, coming in the wind and going in the rain, and there is no time for a peaceful day, so I can't restrain you with ordinary etiquette. But when the situation is better in the future, you should also settle down and learn needlework. Fu Bao is a good man, if you marry into his family, he will definitely treat you well. But you also have to serve him well, do what a woman should do, and you can't just mess around with my temperament just because I'm your brother! ”
Dou Hongxian listened stupidly, blinking his eyes, and became more and more unable to understand his brother. If she wasn't familiar with this skin, she would have suspected that Dou Jiande in front of her was someone else's fake. Since I can remember, when did my brother tell me about this kind of crooked reasoning? The Dou family was not poor back then, but it was not a big family either. At the age of thirteen, he was locked in the embroidery building and was not allowed to go out, should you be the eldest lady of the family? Raise it like a pig, just waiting for your husband's family to take it away? Even if it is a wealthy lady, not everyone is so boring. The two daughters of Li Yuan in Hedong personally led the troops to fight, which was a three-generation hereditary family of the national princes, and compared with those disguised families in Hebei, it was simply the difference between heaven and earth.
didn't hear his sister's rebuttal, Dou Jiande thought that his persuasion had worked. After thinking about it, he continued to advise: "Fu Bao will be the commander of the army in the future, you will see him in the future, don't call and drink again, as if he owes you." Once seen by his subordinates, it will definitely affect his prestige! ”
"Who promised to marry him!" Dou Hongxian was so angry that he stomped his feet. "I don't affect his prestige, and he also expects to marry me!"
"What's that?" Dou Jiande shook his head again and again. "You're both the oldest. Especially Fu Bao, hasn't he waited for so many years just to marry you? ”
"That's his own business, it's none of my business!" Dou Hongxian is very firmly denied.
"What the hell is going on?" Dou Jiande glanced at his sister vigilantly, and his brows were twisted into a Sichuan character. "You don't like him anymore? Or do you have a crush on someone else again? These days, ...... you soak in the camp in Zhaozhou every day? ”
"Nothing!" Dou Hongxian was ashamed and angry, opened the door curtain, and fled like a fly. "Don't guess. My own business, I take care of it myself! ”
"You ......" Dou Jiande chased a few steps out, and was forced to stop at the door because of his image. This girl ......" he shook his head and sighed. It's too unusual, who can't learn it well, but go and learn that Jade Rakshasa! But why did she become estranged from Wang Fubao? A pink mist dangled in front of Dou Jiande's eyes, and he couldn't see the answer inside clearly.
