Most of the counties in the world suffered from war, but Zhuo County was able to remain intact, and it has to be said that Guo Xuan contributed a lot. Yang Guang also knew that he was talented, and appointed him as the general guard of Zhuo County, and concurrently served as the post of Zhuo County's stay, which can be said to have completely handed Zhuo County into his hands. Guo Xuan has lived up to the emperor's grace, and I don't know how many thieves have been exterminated in recent years.

is always victorious and arrogant, and Guo Xuan is not exempt from vulgarity. After receiving the report of his own soldiers, he had already believed seven points, and in order to prevent accidents, he sent someone to invite Dou Jiande to enter the camp alone.

Dou Jiande ignored the dissuasion of everyone and rode into Guo Xuan's camp alone.

"I heard that Jiande has always had a chivalrous reputation, why did he become a thief?" Guo Xuan saw that Dou Jiande was fearless and fearless, and believed two more points. So, he treated each other politely and invited Dou Jiande to take a seat.

"Lord Hui, there were many thieves in Zhangnan back then, they were extremely cruel, slaughtering and robbing, burning houses, doing all kinds of evil, the villain's hometown was poor, and the thieves did not take it seriously, so they escaped." Dou Jiande showed a sad look on his face, and replied: "Unexpectedly, Lord Cheng of the county decided that the villain colluded with the thieves, and killed the villain's entire family without any investigation. ”

Officials in various places are uneven, and it is inevitable that some people, in order to please the imperial court, use the heads of commoners as the heads of thieves. Guo Xuan sympathized with Dou Jiande's plight, sighed, and said, "Since you have defected to the thief, why did you break with him? ”

"The villain thinks that Gao Shida gathered the crowd to protect the people." Dou Jiande gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "But I didn't expect that Gao Shida was extremely hypocritical and greedy for enjoyment, and the villain's friend only persuaded him a few more words, and he cut off his head." Now that the villain's surrender has been revealed, and he has killed my insider, he has a deep hatred, how can Jiande endure it? ”

Guo Xuan comforted a few words, and then said: "Since you are willing to abandon the secret and turn to the light, this official will give you a chance to take revenge, I wonder if Jiande is willing to serve the imperial court?" ”

"Jiande is willing to be an adult's front army and exterminate Gao Shida!" Dou Jiande got up and asked for battle.

"In that case, you will lead your subordinates to the Changhe River at noon tomorrow, and this official will sign an alliance with you there, and then destroy the thieves together." Guo Xuan had already completely trusted Dou Jiande, and ordered: "But this official has words first, and he will not wait for the obsolescence!" ”

"The villain must arrive on time." Dou Jiande looked happy and replied respectfully. Guo Xuan was very happy in his heart, and waved his hand to let Dou Jiande leave first.

At noon on the second day, as soon as Guo Xuan led the army to arrive, he saw Dou Jiande already waiting at the border of the Changhe River, and thousands of soldiers behind him were standing listlessly. Seeing this picture, Guo Xuan shook his head, and the soldiers under his command didn't care about it and relaxed their guard.

Guo Xuan led the army towards Dou Jiande, and Dou Jiande also ordered the soldiers to move forward, apparently intending to meet Guo Xuan.

When the two sides were a hundred feet apart, as soon as Guo Xuan raised his hand, the army stopped in an orderly manner, and Dou Jiande also raised a hand, but the soldiers behind him still walked forward in confusion, causing Guo Xuan to laugh.

It wasn't until Dou Jiande led the army into his own side that Guo Xuan reacted. But before he could give the order, the army had already dispersed, and many of the soldiers were already in different places before they could raise their weapons.

"Dou thief, you don't believe what you say!" Guo Xuan was extremely angry and led his own soldiers to kill Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande was strong in martial arts, how could he be afraid of Guo Xuan? He did not retreat but advanced, and led several lieutenants to kill Guo Xuan.

Guo Xuan only knew that Dou Jiande had a good reputation, how would he know that he was so good at fighting, after more than a dozen rounds, half of Guo Xuan's personal soldiers died, but Dou Jiande was unscathed.

Without Guo Xuan's command, the imperial army was in chaos, on the contrary, the soldiers under Dou Jiande's command, as opposed to the previous judgment, had a complete formation, orderly advance and retreat, and killed more than 2,000 people in just half a pillar of incense time.

"Lord Guo, the army has encountered a sneak attack, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, if they don't retreat at this time, I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out!" A partial general reminded loudly: "As long as you can return to Zhuo County, reorganize the army, and exterminate the Gao Thief and Dou Thief, it is only an easy matter. ”

Guo Xuan's heart was full of fear and hatred, but Dou Jiande's martial arts were far superior to him, and he had no choice but to order a retreat. The personal soldiers around him surrounded him, forced Dou Jiande back for a moment, and then fled.

As soon as the main general fled, the army was even more demoralized, and they threw down their weapons and surrendered, Dou Jiande led hundreds of people to pursue Guo Xuan, and the others escorted the surrendered army back to Gaojibo first.

In this battle, Dou Jiande led the army to kill and capture thousands of people, get thousands of war horses, and chased all the way to Pingyuan County, beheaded Guo Xuan and dedicated it to Gao Shida. For a time, Dou Jiande's prestige far surpassed that of Gao Shida.

Defeating the imperial army and killing Guo Xuan should have been a happy event, but Gao Shida's smile was a little stiff. He rewarded him at the feast, and then left first, citing his ill health. The crowd drank up, and without much thought, they bowed down and watched him leave the table.

It's easy to understand that Gao Shida is worried about losing power, so he has a lot of worries. But the eldest grandson Wuji also hid in the room, frowning and drinking alone.

There was only one person in the room, the eldest grandson, Wuji, but there were two small bowls on the table.

The eldest grandson Wuji filled the two bowls very seriously, then put down the wine jug, picked up the small bowl in front of him, and drank the wine inside.

"Master Guo, Wuji can't stand you." The eldest grandson Wuji put down the wine bowl, looked at the empty opposite, and said apologetically: "You love the people, you shouldn't end up like this, but the luck of the Great Sui is exhausted, and it is really not worth your protection." After speaking, he picked up the wine bowl opposite and gently sprinkled the wine inside on the ground.

Guo Xuan was already dead, so he couldn't answer.

"If Childe knew that your death was caused by me, he would definitely scold me." Eldest Sun Wuji smiled abruptly, poured two more glasses of wine, and continued: "He is very smart, but he doesn't like to use conspiracy, there are some things he doesn't want to do, I can only do it for him first." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes were very clear, and no one could have imagined that most of the credit for Dou Jiande's ability to defeat Guo Xuan should be attributed to this man who smiled very well.

After a while, half of the pot of wine had been drunk, and the eldest grandson Wuji stood up, bowed to the empty bowl opposite, and then walked to the window and opened it slightly. A chill hit, and the eldest grandson Wuji was unconscious, and whispered to himself into the night: "Guo Xuan died in battle, when will Yang Yichen appear?" ”

While he was thinking wildly, Dou Jiande came from a distance, and the eldest grandson Wuji smiled and returned to the table to sit down.

Dou Jiande knocked on the door and entered, his face was dark and ruddy, obviously he had drunk a lot of wine, he bowed down and said: "Thanks to Mr. 's clever plan, Jiande can defeat the imperial army, please accept Jiande's worship." ”

"It's not a good thing, why does Duke Dou bother to give this thank-you gift?" The eldest grandson Wuji said calmly: "Instead of thanking him, Duke Dou should think about the future." ”

Dou Jiande knelt on the eldest grandson Wuji, picked up the wine jug, poured wine for the eldest grandson Wuji, and asked suspiciously: "What does the gentleman mean?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said lightly: "Before leaving, what did Wuji say, has Duke Dou forgotten?" ”

"Mr. said don't kill Guo Xuan." Dou Jiande said ashamedly: "At that time, our army was like a rainbow, Guo Xuan fled in embarrassment, Jiande was worried that Guo Xuan would make a comeback after fleeing back to Zhuo County, so he chased and killed him." ”

"But has Gong Dou ever thought about what will happen next if you kill Guo Xuan?" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Dou Jiande without squinting, and said in a cold voice: "It is only a matter of time before Yang Yichen defeats Zhang Jincheng, Dou Gong thinks that when you face him, what are your chances of winning?" ”

Dou Jiande's drunkenness disappeared, and he was in a cold sweat.
