Soon after Dou Jiande killed Guo Xuan, the general guard of Zhuo County, Zhang Jin claimed to have been captured and killed by Yang Shanhui, and the rest of Zhang Jin's subordinates went to Dou Jiande one after another.

Yang Yichen took advantage of the victory and led the army to pursue and defeat the fleeing rebels to Pingyuan County, intending to enter Gaojibo to crusade against Gao Shida and Dou Jiande.

Dou Jiande said to Gao Shida: "I have observed a lot of Sui generals, the one who is good at using soldiers is Yang Yichen, now he has destroyed Zhang Jincheng to take advantage of the victory, unstoppable, please Donghai Gong lead the troops to avoid him, so that he can't fight, it takes time, the soldiers are tired and tired, and then we take the opportunity to attack him, Yang Yichen can be broken, otherwise, I'm afraid our army is not his opponent." ”

Gao Shida has his own ideas, he wants to personally lead the troops to defeat Yang Yichen in a dignified manner, Yang Yichen is so famous, if he Gao Shida can personally defeat Yang Yichen, then he can undoubtedly gain high prestige, who would dare not listen to his words at that time?

So Gao Shida left Dou Jiande to guard the camp, and he led the elite soldiers to meet Yang Yichen, and after winning a small victory, he drank excitedly.

After Dou Jiande heard this, he said to a scribe beside him: "Donghai Gong is arrogant and arrogant if he fails to defeat the enemy, I am afraid that the disaster will come soon, and I have to lead my troops to meet it." ”

The scribe's name is Song Zhengben, originally Rao Yang Ling, erudite and talented, a few months ago when Gao Shida's army broke through Raoyang County, Song Zhengben was captured, Gao Shida was originally going to kill Song Zhengben, Dou Jiande admired his name, so he pleaded with Gao Shida, and was saved from death.

After that, Song Zhengben stayed by Dou Jiande's side, often gave him advice, and won Dou Jiande's trust, in the original history, he was the main mastermind of Dou Jiande in the early days, and offered Dou Jiande a strategy to pacify Hebei, but unfortunately he was accidentally killed by Dou Jiande by listening to rumors.

When Dou Jiande was about to walk out of the camp tent at this time, Song Zhengben, who had not made a sound, put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Does Jun Sima want to be someone else's subordinate for the rest of his life?" ”

After Dou Jiande heard this, he stayed at the tent door for a long time, and finally did not go out.

Five days later, Yang Yichen broke Gao Shida, killed Gao Shida in front of the battle, and pursued him with victory, directly approaching his camp. The defenders of the camp scattered and fled.

Dou Jiande fled from Yang Yichen's army with hundreds of elite cavalry, and just about to breathe a sigh of relief, Li Yin, who had been waiting for a long time with his team, immediately led his troops to kill Dou Jiande, scared Dou Jiande out of a cold sweat, and hurriedly fled.

Li Yin originally planned to take advantage of Dou Jiande's weakest time at this time, and ended up as the future Hebei hero, but at the most dangerous moment, all the subordinates around Dou Jiande took the initiative to stay behind the palace and desperately blocked Li Yin's army, so that Li Yin could only watch Dou Jiande flee away with a few people in the end.

Li Yin didn't feel much annoyed by this, but just sighed that Dou Jiande really deserved his reputation, and the ability to let his subordinates die was not something that ordinary people had.

Li Yin's subordinates caught some prisoners, and at this time they were gathering together with the prisoners, and suddenly, Su Dingfang, who was beside Li Yin, saw that there was an acquaintance he respected very much among the prisoners, and shouted: "Song County Order, why are you here?" ”

The acquaintance Su Dingfang saw was Song Zhengben, he was a literati, although he could also ride horses, but his equestrian skills were not very good, so he was captured alive by Li Yin's subordinates in the melee just now.

Raoyang County belongs to Hejian County, Hejian County is located in the north of Su Dingfang's hometown Xindu County, and Raoyang County is just the county bordering Hejian County and Xindu County.

Song Zhengben looked a little embarrassed at this time, "It turned out to be a fixed square, but I didn't expect this to be the case when you and I met again." ”

Su Dingfang hurriedly got off the horse and let the soldiers holding Song Zhengben leave, but because he didn't get Li Yin's order, he didn't dare to loosen Song Zhengben privately, he asked suspiciously: "How can Song County's order be with the soldiers of the Dou thief?" ”

Song Zhengben's expression was a little gloomy, "Two months ago, Raoyang was broken by Gao Shida, Dou Sima begged for my life, I saw that he was benevolent and righteous, and he was a master, so I took refuge in him, but now I was captured by Dingfang and his troops, and he was embarrassed by himself!" ”

Su Dingfang said: "The commander of this army is not me, but someone else. Su Dingfang said, and put Song Zhengben in front of Li Yin, "Lord Lang General, this is Mr. Song Zhengben of the former Rao Yang Ling, please forgive him more!" ”

After Li Yin heard this, he hurriedly dismounted and personally untied Song Zhengben, "I have heard of the name of Mr. Dacai, are you willing to come to our army to help me do things?" ”

Song Zhengben shook his head and said: "I was a Sui minister first, and I was a thief not long ago, how can I still have the face to continue to be a Sui minister now?" ”

Li Yin said: "Mr. was forced to surrender to the thief before, and now he is Sui Chen, isn't it just abandoning the darkness and turning to the light?" Please also give more consideration to it, sir. ”

After hearing this, Song Zhengben's expression was a little shaken, but he still didn't say yes, but he didn't say that he would rather die than obey, Li Yin saw this, so he had to let Su Dingfang treat him well, and planned to slowly bring him under his command in the future.

After Yang Yichen killed Gao Shida, he thought that Dou Jiande was not enough trouble, so he no longer continued the pursuit, and led his troops to leave, Li Yin also immediately led his troops back to Hengshan County, accompanied by Su Dingfang, Song Zhengben, Su Yong and Su Dingfang's father and son.

After Su Yong left the ghost gate, he was unwilling to go to the battlefield to fight again, and his hometown Wuyi was still unstable, so he took his fellow villagers to follow Li Yin to the five counties of Hengshan to settle down, Li Yin settled them in Jingcheng County, and appointed Su Yong as the county commander of Jingcheng County.

After arranging everything, Li Yin led his troops back to Yanmen Pass.

And to kill Dou Jiande, who was killed by Li Yin, fled north, and gathered hundreds of routs on the way, and finally arrived at the familiar Raoyang County, taking advantage of the fact that Raoyang County was defenseless, he once again captured Raoyang and collected 3,000 soldiers.

Dou Jiande then led 3,000 soldiers back to Pingyuan County in the northeast of Qinghe County after the officers and soldiers left, collected the stragglers of Gao Shida's department, collected and buried the dead, and mourned for Gao Shida.

Originally, the thieves captured the Sui officials and the children of the scholar clan and killed them, but Dou Jiande treated them well, so some of the Sui officials surrendered to him, Dou Jiande's momentum became more and more powerful, but because of the absence of the mastermind Song Zhengben, Dou Jiande's power developed slower than the original history.

On the first day of the fifth month, after two months of expedition, Li Yin returned to Yanmen Pass again, and at noon on this day, there was a solar eclipse, and it was a total solar eclipse that would only be seen once in hundreds of years.
