The Great Sui was turbulent, the rebels were rampant, and Gao Shida gathered thousands of people to be thieves, which did not attract the attention of the imperial court at first. First, Gao Shida's power is weak, and second, the place where they hide is Gao Jibo.

Gaojibo was originally the confluence of Zhangshui, vast for hundreds of miles, overgrown with reeds, once the imperial court sent troops, Gaoshida did not resist at all, and hid directly in Gaojibo, and the imperial court had no way at all.

But as the thieves killed each other, Gao Shida continued to accept defeated soldiers, plus Gao Shida and Dou Jiande had a good reputation, and more and more people defected to them, and the number of people had reached more than 10,000 unconsciously.

The imperial court lost the support of the people, and Guo Xuan, the general guard of Zhuo County, realized that he could not let Gao Shida continue to grow, so he led more than 10,000 troops to attack him. In the face of the elite soldiers of the imperial court, Gao Shida did not have the slightest confidence, and had to gather all the leaders to discuss countermeasures.

"Now that our army has tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are countless family members, we can't face the imperial army by hiding in Gaojibo as before." Gao Shida's voice was a little hoarse, and he said worriedly: "However, if we fight head-on, with our strength, it is impossible to defeat Guo Xuan." ”

When the leaders heard this, they also felt that there was nothing they could do, and most of them became sad.

At this time, a person walked to the hall unhurriedly, bowed down and said: "What Donghai Gong said is reasonable, but our army is not impossible to fight with Guo Xuan. ”

"Dou Sibing, do you have any good ideas, come quickly." Gao Shida's face was overjoyed, he got up and walked in front of Dou Jiande, helped him up with his own hands, and said, "The soldiers of the imperial court are well-trained, how can we defeat them?" ”

"Donghai Gong thinks that we can't defeat Guo Xuan's army, why doesn't Guo Xuan think so?" Dou Jiande said with a smile: "Jiande has a clumsy plan, as long as the Duke of Donghai is willing to cooperate, he will definitely be able to defeat Guo Xuan, and even take off his head." ”

"Since you dare to boast about Haikou, you must have a perfect plan, how can my father not cooperate?" Gao Shida smiled and said, "You first tell me how we should face Guo Xuan's army." ”

"Guo Xuan, as the general guard of Zhuo County, has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, but he only brought more than 10,000 people with him this time, and his contempt for us can be seen." Dou Jiande analyzed: "If at this time, I and the Duke of the East China Sea turned their faces because of whether to surrender or not, and led thousands of people to surrender to him, do you think Guo Xuan would believe it?" ”

"Although Guo Xuan is a little arrogant, he will not fall for the trick easily." Gao Shida said with a little disappointment: "If your strategy fails, it will delay our army's evasion, and my father will not dare to take risks!" With that, he prepared to return to the Lord's seat.

"Donghai Gong, please listen to Jiande first." Dou Jiande left Gao Shida behind and said: "The traitor is in charge, the news of the rebellion of the rebels in various places cannot reach the ears of His Majesty, even if Guo Xuan despises us again, he will not be arrogant and think that he can destroy us without blood, and he will not be willing to lose his own troops, so Jiande will lead his troops to surrender, he will definitely be moved." ”

"What's next?" Gao Shida pondered for a moment, felt that Dou Jiande's words were very reasonable, and asked: "How can I make him believe that my father and you really turned their faces?" ”

Dou Jiande hesitated for a moment and said: "If Guo Xuan is in the plan, naturally there is no need to do anything else, if he doesn't believe it, Jiande will send someone to offer you advice." ”

Gao Shida waved his hand and asked the rest of the people to retreat, leaving only Dou Jiande alone.

"Your prestige and wisdom are far better than mine, since you said that you can defeat Guo Xuan, my father is willing to put his life in your hands." Gao Shida took Dou Jiande's hand and said earnestly: "It's too wronged for you to be a soldier, from today on, my father will appoint you as Sima, I hope you can return with a great victory." ”

"Jiande must live up to the expectations of Donghai Gong." Dou Jiande said movingly.

"Although there are tens of thousands of soldiers in our army, most of them are defected by other rebels, and their combat strength is weak, and my father does not dare to trust them too much, so I will leave you alone." Gao Shida nodded and said, "You can now tell my grandfather how you plan to let my grandfather cooperate with you." ”

Dou Jiande was also worried that someone would leak the secret just now, so he didn't specifically say the plan in his heart, at this time, only he and Gao Shida naturally didn't hide it, so he replied: "In order to prevent Guo Xuan from being suspicious, Jiande will first lead 7,000 soldiers to pretend to resist the imperial army, and the Duke of Donghai only needs to lead the old and weak to guard the baggage." Then, on the grounds of distrusting Jiande, the Duke of Donghai let Jiande lead the army back to the camp, and Jiande could return to the imperial court. ”

Gao Shida still felt that things were not so simple, but seeing Dou Jiande's confident appearance, he reluctantly agreed and handed over the command to Dou Jiande.

Dou Jiande's whole family was killed by the imperial court, and Gao Shida was not worried that Dou Jiande would really surrender to Guo Xuan. The plan has been decided, Gao Shida sent people to rectify the army, and Dou Jiande also said goodbye and left, saying that he would return home to prepare.

"Mr. Li, how sure are you?" Dou Jiande returned to the mansion, sent his own soldiers to invite a scribe to the room, first recounted the conversation in the Donghai Mansion, and then said: "It's not that Jiande doesn't believe Mr., it's really about tens of thousands of lives, and Jiande doesn't dare to be careless." ”

"Li Zhu was completely sure, but now he only has one percent." The scribe replied.

This scribe was none other than the eldest grandson Wuji, who had traveled all over the world. He assumed the pseudonym Li Zhu, and when he heard the name of Dou Jiande's "Chongran Xu, Xixia Festival", he was curious, and he happened to have nowhere to go, so he first went to Dou Jiande to find a place to stay.

"Why?" Dou Jiande frowned deeply, and said in a calm tone: "Is the last step really so important?" ”

"As the old saying goes: those who walk a hundred steps are half ninety." Li Gou said unhurriedly: "Duke Dou doesn't want to harm the lives of innocent people, but he doesn't know that if he does this, more people will die. Guo Xuan can be an official to worship a county, how can he be useless? ”

Dou Jiande is outsmart, but how can he compare with the eldest grandson Wuji? After pondering for a moment, he sighed and said, "Jiande will leave two personal guards, and if there is an obstacle at that time, Mr. Li can send them to offer their advice to the Duke of Donghai." ”

Li Zhu nodded and took his leave.

As soon as Dou Jiande led the army to leave, Li Zhu called the two guards to his side and asked them to lead the way to the dungeon.

There are many captives in the dungeon, many of them are beautiful women, in the troubled times, these women can only become the playthings of the superiors, although Dou Jiande can't bear it, but he also knows that he can't change the will of most people, so he can only turn a blind eye.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the undressed women, sighed lightly, and said to them: "I know that some of you would rather die than be humiliated, and the reason why you survived is because you can't worry about your family. ”

Many women stared at Eldest Sun Wuji with vicious eyes, and some people seemed very numb, sitting on the weeds with their heads down, indifferent to Eldest Sun Wuji's words.

"I need a woman who is willing to give her life now." The eldest grandson Wuji closed his eyes and said loudly: "After you die, I guarantee that the people you care about will be able to leave here, and I will give him some coils, so that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life." ”

The words of the eldest grandson Wuji, like a life-saving straw, were placed in front of those women who were on the verge of despair, and as soon as his words fell, there were cries everywhere in the dungeon: "Kill me." ”

"Who else is in your family?" The eldest grandson Wuji stood outside the cell and asked questions one by one.

Dou Jiande formed a formation to confront Guo Xuan, and secretly sent someone to tell Guo Xuan that he planned to lead the army to surrender, how could Guo Xuan dare to believe it easily, so he asked Dou Jiande to stand still and send his own soldiers to Gao Shida to investigate. With Dou Jiande's help, Guo Xuan's personal soldiers successfully mixed into Gao Shida's military camp.

Everyone in Gao Shida's army was in danger, and it was rumored everywhere that Dou Jiande had betrayed his promise and had surrendered to the imperial court. These rumors had already convinced him of Dou Jiande's determination to surrender, and it just so happened that he witnessed Gao Shida sending someone to kill Dou Jiande's wife, so he secretly left the camp, returned to Guo Xuan, and informed Guo Xuan of what he had heard and seen.
