Chapter 2 The Yellow Sparrow

Among the people who led the way for the camp in Zhaozhou, several were the sons and nephews of the gentry in the city. Seeing that Cheng Mingzhen, in order to maintain Dou Jiande's commitment to everyone, actually killed the black sheep, he admired and thanked him in his heart, and in addition to being impulsive, he took out a series of words.

"What a fucking pit man surnamed Yang. Fool me and say that if King Dou enters the city, he will definitely kill all the people who didn't have time to escape like Zhang Jincheng did last time! I knew that Dou Tianwang was so benevolent and righteous, and everyone didn't follow him when they said anything! ”

"Isn't it, I have to pay for Ding, and I have to pay for food, and I will toss the family to the bottom! If we had known that the rebels were all like General Cheng, we would have opened the city gate a long time ago. Someone looked at Cheng Mingzhen's face and tested whether his ass was in the right place. Strangely, from the face of the young general in front of him, everyone could not see any joy, anger and sorrow. A maturity that is not commensurate with age completely conceals the true face, as if it has gone through a lot of vicissitudes and has long been unwavering.

"Yes, this year, the Great Sui Dynasty will be over soon, who are we going to be on an errand. The same ...... for paying grain and taxes"

"I said a long time ago, King Dou Tianwang will not kill innocents indiscriminately, you just can't. This time, I know what to do! ”

Cheng Mingzhen couldn't tell everyone the fact that it was because the resistance in the city was too fierce that forced the Dou Jiajun to change their strategy. I had to smile and nod silently. When the people saw him smiling kindly, they became bolder. Someone was a little more knowledgeable, looked around, and asked secretly: "Dare to ask the general, since your surname is Cheng, and Ping Encheng is the same name?" ”

"This is my General Cheng, you guys who don't have long eyes!" Duan Qing listened interestingly, and couldn't help but step forward and scold.

"Ahh No wonder it's so benevolent! The "righteous men" were first full of surprise, and then they raised their thumbs, "Sure enough, the name is worthy of it, and the name is worthy of it." I've heard about the shogun's name a long time ago. It is said that you are a righteous man, a righteous man, a great hero, and wherever you pass, you have not committed any crimes! ”

"It's a thief! Hehe" Cheng Mingzhen interrupted with a smile. "I'm satisfied to be a righteous thief, but as for the word hero, I dare not be ashamed!"

Hearing that his previous efforts were not completely in vain, at least he had won a good reputation among the people, and his mood was slightly better. After a few casual conversations, he turned to the brothers beside him and ordered, "On the main street leading to the county office, send two hundred more men." Be vigilant, lest someone be unwilling to fail and have any crooked intentions towards Dou Tianwang! ”

"How dare you, how dare you!" A few of the "righteous men" who donated the city responded more positively than the brothers. "That entire street is preserved thanks to the great virtues of King Dou and General Cheng. Who doesn't know what to do, and dares to take revenge? ”

As he spoke, several "righteous men" looked at each other and tentatively suggested: "King Dou Tianwang has sent down such a great favor, should we express it." Otherwise, once someone slanders General Cheng in the future, aren't we sorry for people? ”

Before Cheng Mingzhen could figure out what a few of them meant, the person who had been a servant had already jumped out, "Yes, yes, the incense case that welcomed Yang Shanhui's triumph last time is still there." Beeswax and high incense are also ready-made. Hurry up, let's inform everyone to prepare, I hope it's still in time! ”

"Lao Fei, you are familiar, you help Zhang Luo!" Everyone was gossiping, and the person who was publicly recommended to be a servant was responsible for organizing the ceremony to welcome the rebels.

It took a lot of effort for Cheng Mingzhen to understand what these people were going to do, and he was willing to oppose it, and the words came to his mouth and swallowed back into his stomach. It didn't hurt him at all, and it could gag a lot of people, so why not? Anyway, the beeswax of the incense case is ready-made, and being idle is also idle.

Thinking about this section, he immediately assigned more than a dozen clever brothers, took his warrants, and followed Lao Fei and the others to each household to "report" the news that Dou Tianwang was about to enter the city. Those rich and noble families didn't know how to please Dou Jiande in their hearts, and when they listened to Lao Fei Yiluo, they immediately happily obeyed.

In less than half a pillar of incense, all the corpses were dragged into the alley on the main street near the county office. Lanterns were hung in front of each house, and incense tables were arranged. There were a few people who looked like a man and a woman, holding high incense, kneeling down to the street.

Dou Jiande just entered the city and walked to the yamen, and now this kind of pomp and circumstance was startled at that time. When he asked the fathers and elders whether they had "taken the initiative" to greet him, he was overjoyed, looked back to the left and right, and said loudly: "What else are you not satisfied with winning the hearts of the living, and not being happy with the dead gold, silver, and jewelry?" ’

A few generals who were still complaining about Cheng Mingzhen in Dou Jiande's ears just now had never seen such a battle, and they looked left and right with their mouths grinned, not knowing what to say.

Cheng Mingzhen did kill their brothers, but Cheng Mingzhen did win back the hearts of the Dou family. In the past, everyone robbed the house, and the people fled without looking at the wind, which was already very face-saving, who would let everyone really enjoy the hero-like treatment, burn incense along the street, and pray to the sky?

Dou Jiande knew that everyone's concept was still at the stage of being a rogue, so he smiled and pointed out loudly: "It turns out that we are the king of the mountain, and our intention is to make trouble for the court, and we have done the things of killing people and setting fires, which is not a big mistake." Now that the Great Sui Dynasty is over, let's prepare to fight the country for ourselves, and the people will be sure of the world, and the military discipline will be stricter. Otherwise, if you get a small fortune and lose the hearts of the people, when the foreign enemy comes, the people will rush to show them the way, aren't we looking for death ourselves? ”

Everyone nodded again and again when they heard this, and their resentment towards Cheng Mingzhen was alleviated a lot. Dou Jiande took a few steps forward, and when he saw an old white man kneeling behind the incense case, he quickly jumped off the horse, bent his knees and helped the other party up, "Your old man is so old, don't kneel on the ground." Isn't this a discount for my life? ”

"After the king entered the city, there was no way to do it, and he sent troops and horses to guard the gate for us. This kindness, like regeneration, even if it is worshiped by the little old man, it is also a make! "The old man is obviously a man who has seen the world, and he speaks in an orderly manner. Dou Jiande listened to it in his ears, was happy in his heart, supported the old man with both hands, and continued to play with the other party, "You old man is long-lived, you look very strong!" ”

"King Lao asked, Xiao Lao'er is seventy-three this year, and he has lived so much, but he has never seen a hero like Dawang!" The old man pulled Dou Jiande and complimented him with a smile.

"Seventy-three?" Dou Jiande repeated this number in his mouth, and sighed with emotion, "It's a tiger, it's the same age as my grandfather!" ”

"Uh-huh!" The old man nodded again and again. "Dare to be a hero, Ling Zun's body is good?"

Dou Jiande was immediately touched, his eyes turned red, and he choked up: "Back then, I was framed as a bandit by the dog official, and my father was dragged down by me and burned to death in the ...... by the dog official."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but bow his head and wipe away his tears. The old man had no words to deal with this time, sighed a few times with him, and said gloomily: "Hero's Day mourning." The Great Sui court lost morality, and for several years, the family was ruined and people died. Heroes can do nothing today and will definitely be able to rebuild the prosperous world in the future! ”

"Inherit your old auspicious words!" Dou Jiande put away his tears and said goodbye to the old arch. After walking a few steps earlier, I saw a young man in Chinese costumes, kneeling behind the incense case with his family, and also went up to help him up, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up, someone made trouble when the city was broken just now, didn't it scare you?" ”

"A few bad guys smashed my door at first!" The young man is not as experienced as the old one, seeing that Dou Jiande's face was full of honesty, he hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth. "I almost stormed the yard. We all thought we were going to die today. As a result, at the critical moment, another group of heroes came and killed the previous gang of villains. Dou Tianwang, you are a good person, and those villains are definitely not your subordinates. ”

Dou Jiande was stunned when he heard this, and immediately burst into laughter. "I am a good person, and Dou has become a good person today."

Turning around, he opened his throat and shouted to the soldiers who followed him: "Did you hear, we are good people, not thieves!" ”

As if it wasn't enough, he took a deep breath and raised his voice to the maximum: "Lao Tzu emphasizes again today, we are not thieves, relying on the strong to bully the weak, and bullying people are thieves." In the future, we must bring peace to the world, and we must not do anything to harm the people. The scum who was killed just now was not my brother Dou Jiande. In the future, if anyone harms the people, whoever it is, everyone can kill him. Come to see me with a promotion, and I will give you the same credit as killing the enemy on the battlefield! Do you hear that? ”

"I heard you!" The heroes of the Dou family army were deeply touched and responded in unison.

"Dou Heavenly King is mighty!"

"Dou Tianwang is wise!" Most of the people who were forcibly pulled out by Lao Fei and others to greet Dou Jiande were originally apprehensive, but when they heard Dou Jiande's words to his subordinates, they shouted in unison.

Hearing the heartfelt cheers around him, Dou Jiande was deeply moved. Strode to the middle of the street and stretched out his hand to the guard, "Knife, get me a knife!" ”

The guards didn't know what he was going to do next, and hesitated to hand over a horizontal knife. Dou Jiande pulled out the knife from the sheath, tried it on the blade with his fingers, and then raised it high, "Listen, everyone, today, I, Dou Jiande reiterates military discipline." All civilians and civilians can testify to this. After the city is broken, only the thieves will be killed, and the people will not be sinned. If you take advantage of the fire to rob, everyone can kill them......"

"Oh, oh, oh!" His words were swallowed up by the cheers around him.

After gasping for a moment with great excitement, when the cheers around him faded, Dou Jiande raised his knife again and swore in public: "Brothers, fathers and fellow villagers, I, Dou Jiande swear to you today." From now on, the whole army will kill an innocent person as if it were my father, and humiliate a people's daughter as if it were my mother. This oath is shared by heaven and earth. ”

With that, he stabbed himself in the arm with his sword, shooting a stream of hot blood into the clear sky.

Alcoholic's note: Dou Jiande's original words: To be a thief in Bo**, he can kill people arbitrarily, and now he wants to settle the people to fix the world, how can he harm loyalty?

Even if your message is just one, it will become the motivation for creation, please work hard to cheer for it!
