When Luo Shixin woke up, he didn't know where he was for a while. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the bleak room, he was alone. He opened his eyes and was still alive. It's a strange feeling. Ever since General Zhang's death, he has been in this illusory situation.

He didn't know when he was going to die.

But now, he doesn't know what he's living for!

He joined the army at the age of fourteen, experienced a hundred battles, and experienced life and death several times, thinking that he had already seen through life and death, but suddenly looked back and realized that it was not easy to die, and life was also difficult. When he received the order from his master, he never suspected that it was false, so he unswervingly carried it out. After Zhang Xutuo died, he couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience, and finally snatched Zhang Xutuo's body from the chaotic army and buried it. thought that he would die with Zhang Xutuo, but he didn't expect Dou Hongxian to wake him up again. In the following days, he resolutely betrayed his master, and followed too many heroes, and he thought that he would be executed by his master every day, but the master did not appear after all.

Luo Shixin didn't understand why Shizun didn't look for him anymore, but he never thought about it.

But he suddenly suspected that Shizun had not sent the order to him at all, so who was the person who gave the order? Who is the one who is doing the trick? Who was the man who changed his life?

Luo Shixin's bones were 'gurgling', if he knew who that person was, he would definitely kill that person with all his might, but sadly, after he made the wrong first step, he went further and further and never corrected.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and Luo Shixin looked up, his eyes full of dead ashes.

Dou Hongxian saw Luo Shixin's eyes, and her heart trembled slightly, this is a man she will never forget, even if he is weird, but she will never give up.

She likes him, she likes it from the first time she sees him, no matter if he is a general, he has never changed!

"Shixin, my father is looking for you." Dou Hongxian said in a low voice. Luo Shixin did not listen to the order, and boldly sent troops from Yanggu to attack Xiao Buyi's department, everyone thought that Dou Jiande would be furious, because Luo Shixin disrupted Dou Jiande's deployment, everyone knew that Luo Shixin's move was undoubtedly declaring war with the Eastern Capital, and this was something that Dou Jiande had been avoiding.

Luo Shixin was also soberly aware of the consequences of his assertions, so he saw Dou Hongxian's embarrassed expression, regained his composure, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll go see him." ”

Seeing Dou Hongxian hanging his head and saying nothing, Luo Shixin said again: "Red Line, don't worry, I will take care of everything." ”

As he strode past Dou Hongxian, he only asked, and a faint fragrance came. He couldn't help but glance at Dou Hongxian, only to see two teardrops falling into the dust.

Dou Hongxian cried? Why is she crying? Is it because of his Roshixin?

When Luo Shixin thought of this, his footsteps did not stop, but his heart was full of apologies. He is not a person who does not distinguish between good and evil, and he also knows that in this world, the last person who still cares about him is undoubtedly Dou Hongxian. He owes Dou Hongxian too much, even if he is asked to pay it back with his surname, he will not hesitate.

When he walked out of the mansion, he had already decided that he would take care of everything and never embarrass Dou Hongxian.

But he obviously didn't know that when he made this decision, he had already embarrassed Dou Hongxian.

Luo Shixin didn't want to think about it, and when he found Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande was alone, looking at the snow and cold plums. Hanmei is lonely, the fragrance is secret, Dou Jiande's eyes just fell on Hanmei, heard the footsteps, and said indifferently: "Coming?" ”

Luo Shixin thought of thousands of possibilities, and even thought that Dou Jiande would be furious and roar at him like a lion, but he never thought that Dou Jiande would still be so calm.

Faced with a simple question, he didn't know what to do for a while.

Dou Jiande was obviously not ready to let him answer, and slowly turned around, Dou Jiande asked, "Now is not the best time to attack Xiao Buyi." ”

Luo Shixin was about to argue, but he was speechless and had no way to argue. Dou Jiande is right, now is the time, but it is by no means the best time, but he Luo Shixin can't wait.

"But now that you've made a move, you're going to prepare." Dou Jiande said again: "Xiao Buyi will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he will take advantage of your dispatch of troops to crusade against Hebei ......"

Luo Shixin asked, "King Changle, ...... about this matter?"

Dou Jiande shook his head, "For what has happened, sorry is useless, regret is useless, thinking about how to solve it is the right way." Shixin, the past, let it pass. ”

Luo Shixin has always felt that Dou Jiande is too ordinary, and he has always done things step by step, although he dominates in Hebei and occupies a large territory, but Dou Jiande first lost to Luo Yi and then to Yang Shanhui, and he doesn't seem to be good at fighting. But this person who is not good at fighting can be ranked as the tripartite overlord of the late Sui Dynasty along with Xiao Buyi and Li Yuan, and of course he has something extraordinary.

Now Luo Shixin has finally discovered Dou Jiande's excellence, that is, he has the capacity to tolerate people, and he can tolerate the mistakes of his subordinates. Luo Shixin was originally full of anger, he just wanted to quarrel with Dou Jiande, analyzed the current situation, and told him by his ear that if you sit back and wait for Xu Yuanlang to perish, the next target of destruction will be you. But hearing what Dou Jiande said, he suddenly found that all his worries were superfluous.

Dou Jiande understands this better than anyone.

But his calm mentality even allowed him to face the pressure of Mount Tai without changing his color. Suddenly felt that Dou Jiande was not so annoying, and Luo Shixin laughed self-deprecatingly, just because of his understanding in an instant.

He was waiting for Dou Jiande to give him an order, this was the first time he had willingly accepted an order after General Zhang's death, but Dou Jiande looked at Han Mei for a long time, and suddenly said, "I ...... now There is only one daughter in the red line. ”

Luo Shixin's heart sank, and he felt that he understood something.

Dou Jiande said again: "Actually, my Dou family is in Hebei, and Ding Ding was originally prosperous, but now, only me and the red line are still alive." Although I later married another wife, it was only to take care of the red line. In my heart, no matter how important the country is, it is not as good as a red line. But Hongxian didn't know, she was only busy for my country. ”

With a self-deprecating smile, Dou Jiande turned around, "Perhaps, she and I both understood, but we didn't say it." ”

"You understand, but I don't. ”

Dou Jiande smiled slightly, "You don't understand, because you have never tried to understand others." ”

Luo Shixin fell silent and chewed on Dou Jiande's words. Dou Jiande said slowly: "Actually, I am just a lizheng, who has been farming for generations. Just because he helped a brother escape, the whole family was killed by the imperial court. Surviving ...... It's just me and the red line ......"

Luo Shixin didn't understand why Dou Jiande wanted to talk about this, but he could see his sideburns, and suddenly found that Dou Jiande was really a little old, maybe only the old man would remember the old things, and like Luo Shixin, he only knew how to move forward.

"I originally wanted to protect one of my fathers, but I sadly found that no matter how strong my personal ability is, it is difficult to do this. In troubled times, the way to survive is obviously to constantly strengthen yourself. So I took refuge with Sun Anzu in Gao Shida, both of whom were my bosses and my brothers, at that time, I naively thought that being a bandit was just a short-term expedient measure, and the world would be peaceful! But that's not the case, the world is only getting more and more chaotic, and there are more and more bandits, Sun Anzu is dead, Gao Shida is also dead, and the brothers around me keep dying, and I am numb when I die. ”

When Dou Jiande said this, he smiled bitterly, "What may make me persist is not the world, but the red line." ”

Luo Shixin listened quietly, he rarely listened like this.

"Gao Shida is dead, Sun Anzu is dead, they are dying one by one, is it because they are not as good as me Dou Jiande?" Dou Jiande said softly: "No, it's just because I'm content and happy, because I know that with the people, I, Dou Jiande, can exert my greatest strength." And they are too dissatisfied with the status quo, separated from this side of the people, like water without a source. Actually, I've been thinking, isn't it good to maintain the current situation? At least the people like it, because they have suffered for too long, and I have followed their suffering, and I know their suffering, and I understand it better...... At the beginning of spring next year, they hope to hold not knives and guns, but hoes! ”

Luo Shinobunaga sighed, and when he looked at Dou Jiande again, he was already with respect.

He silently discovered that Dou Jiande may be from a humble background, but he is far more broad-minded than too many people.

Looking at Dou Jiande's rags, Luo Shixin no longer felt pretentious. If a person reaches the status of Dou Jiande, I am afraid that he would have been covered in silk and satin, and there would be a group of wives and concubines. But according to Luo Shixin's knowledge, although Dou Jiande is the overlord of one side, until now, he is still thrifty, but he only married a wife, and the temper of the mother-in-law is not good, even in Le Shou, there are only a dozen people under Yahuan.

can have such a status and be thrifty, such as today, but Dou Jiande alone!

"After Gao Shida died, I could only stand up for the survival of a group of brothers." Dou Jiande said lightly: "They trust me, and I have to be worthy of their trust!" I went to all parts of Hebei and hid in the east of the province, and I knew that my subordinates with swords and guns at that time could compare with the elite soldiers of the Great Sui? Even today, they can't! They were able to resist not by being well-equipped and with strong horses, but by relying on the ...... of this hot land Love! ”

When Dou Jiande said this, his face was solemn, "I, Dou Jiande, have been able to get to this point not because of my own ability, but because of their respect for me, and I must also be worthy of their respect." At the beginning, Xue Shixiong led 30,000 elite soldiers, tens of thousands of conscripted soldiers, and about 70,000 or 80,000 troops to the eastern capital to exterminate the Wagang bandits and collect grain and straw in Hebei. If they are allowed to succeed, I am afraid that the people of Hebei will starve to death again. I threatened to evacuate in an attempt to surprise the Sui army, and I could not tolerate them doing so. The troops at that time could resist Xue Shixiong, and there was no doubt that they would hit the stone with an egg. It was because I took two hundred and eighty-three of my men to fetch Xue Shixiong's camp from the starry night one hundred and forty miles away, and I just thought that if I could kill Xue Shixiong, the Yan Zhao army would be defeated. ”

Luo Shixin was a little puzzled, and didn't understand why Dou Jiande told him this. But one thing he understands is that Dou Jiande doesn't need to show off to him, and Dou Jiande is definitely not a person who likes to show off.

But what Dou Jiande did at the beginning was, in the eyes of anyone, a crazy move. With more than 200 men, he defeated Xue Shixiong's army of 70,000 or 80,000, and Dou Jiande also became famous in one battle, standing out from the Hebei bandits and becoming famous all over the world.

"Crazy, isn't it?" Dou Jiande said lightly: "But other than that, I have no other way." I'm afraid that even if you were there at the time, you wouldn't be able to come up with a way to retreat Xue Shixiong's army and save the people from starvation. ”

Luo Shixin sighed, "King Changle, what you said is good, in fact, I can't think of your method." If I were you, I wouldn't have done anything about it. ”

Dou Jiande smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, my brothers and I knew that this trip would be a dead life, but we had to go, we really didn't want to be ashamed of our love for the people." Maybe my Dou Jiande's life is really good, I rushed to the Qilijing in the river, that is, where Xue Shixiong's garrison is located, just when the sky is foggy, and there are no visible people just a stone's throw away. That's really God's help, you can't think of it, Xue Shixiong never thought that I would sneak attack, so I slacked off my guard and was easily killed by me into the camp. I burned the camp and created chaos, I wanted to assassinate Xue Shixiong, but I didn't expect that he would not know where he was going for a long time, Yan Zhao's army was actually tired and homesick, plus a little pressure from me, so once it collapsed, everything was like in a dream! But Xue Shixiong was seriously wounded in the chaos and later died, which I didn't expect. I don't know if a general like him, if it weren't for me, who would have hurt him? ”

When Dou Jiande said this, his brows frowned slightly, and he was a little puzzled.

Luo Shixin was stunned and said: "It is said that King Changle, you have a thousand troops and seriously injured Xue Shixiong, isn't it?" ”

Dou Jiande shook his head, "No, I didn't find Xue Shixiong at all, so why hurt him?" ”

Luo Shixin was very strange, knowing that there was no need for Dou Jiande to lie at this time, but if it wasn't for Dou Jiande, who could seriously injure Xue Shixiong at that time?

"Could it be your men?" Luo Shixin vaguely thought of something and clenched his fists.

Dou Jiande shook his head and said: "No, in fact, there are not many of my more than 200 brothers who are skilled in martial arts. They had all seen Xue Shixiong's portrait, and at that time, they were mainly disturbing the Sui camp, and they did not encounter Xue Shixiong. But in any case, Xue Shixiong was defeated, maybe God helped me, it rained a heavy fog and seriously injured Xue Shixiong! ”

Speaking of this, Dou Jiande's smile was ridiculed, Luo Shixin suppressed his doubts, and just breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt much closer to Dou Jiande.

Although he has been following Dou Jiande, the words he said with Dou Jiande are not as much as this day.

"Shixin, you must be wondering why I am telling you this." Dou Jiande said suddenly.

"It's weird indeed."

Dou Jiande sighed, "Because when I was running wild in the starry night, I was just thinking about a person!" It is rumored that my surname is Dou, and Li Yuan's wife is also surnamed Dou, I just thought that we would have something to do with it, but I didn't know that if I was a relative in this world, there was only one red line. When I was running wild on the road of life and death, I just thought, I haven't found a mother-in-law for the red line, if I die, the red line will be helpless, so I can't die! ”

Luo Shi didn't know what it was like in his confidence, and the person in front of him didn't look like the Megatron King of Changle at all!

"Defeating Xue Shixiong didn't make me happy in the slightest, and getting a large piece of territory in Hebei and Shandong is no different from getting a piece of land for me." Dou Jiande said: "I am in my life...... The most important thing is not the country, but the ...... Red line! As long as she can be happy, I will be happy. So whatever she wants to do, I will do my best. I know that although I want to stick to Hebei and keep the people peaceful, my brothers do not agree, the red line does not agree, and you do not agree, so I have decided to seriously consider your suggestion. Speaking of this, Dou Jiande patted Luo Shixin on the shoulder, turned to leave, and left the last sentence, "Shixin, help me take care of the red line, thank you." ”

Dou Jiande left the garden, walking slowly, but his waist was very straight. Luo Shixin looked at his back, his eyes were complicated, and he didn't know what it was like for a while.

He never thought that it would be such a result, and he never thought that Dou Jiande was such a person.

I don't know how long he stood there, Luo Shixin only felt numb in his hands and feet, and secretly thought in his heart, Dou Jiande's victory was indeed extremely lucky, and Xue Shixiong's injury was strange, could it be that person secretly doing it? When he thought of that person, he was full of hatred. For the first time, he poured out the idea of fighting for Dou Jiande, just because of a few words from Dou Jiande.

But without waiting for a step, Luo Shixin stopped again, just because there was a person standing not far in front of him, like ice and snow.

Luo Shixin looked at Dou Hongxian, and for the first time he found her haggard, it was also the first time he stared at her eyes. After such twists and turns, Dou Hongxian has no dissatisfaction or resentment, and what Luo Shixin sees is still the care and love that has never changed......

**

The car is moving, the snowflakes are flying, and a carriage is close to Taiyuan.

The carriage of the carriage is not small, but the appearance is also a little shabby, the three horses pulling the carriage are skinny, the carriage is only a groom, and there are two subordinates who follow the carriage, and they look like they have no oil and water.

The car crossed the frozen Yellow River, went north along the Taihang Mountain, crossed the Jingcheng Pass, and arrived at the Taiyuan boundary. The road taken by the car is the same road as Xiao Buyi's black-armored iron horse, and now that bandits are rampant, it can go all the way safely, which seems to be a miracle.

Pei Mingcui sat in the carriage, not knowing what to think, her face was blank. The shadow saw it on the side, and secretly worried that the only thing she could do was to do her best to maintain peace on the road and send the young lady to Taiyuan safely.

Although the interior of the carriage is spacious and comfortable, it can be seen from the outside, regardless of the carriage and horses, they are all down, and few people pay attention to it.

Of course, there will be bandits who occasionally come out to intercept them, but the two subordinates outside the car are easy to dismiss. Although those two subordinates are down-and-out, their fists and feet are not down-and-out at all, and they can even be said to be frightened, blind-eyed bandits, holding their heads and running away.

Although Pei Mingcui had twists and turns along the way, there was no major problem, and the target location was directly aimed at Taiyuan.

This is said that the north wind is cold, everything is pale, there is not even a figure on the road, the carriage is walking slowly on the road, Pei Mingcui does not urge, and the shadow does not want to urge, she is afraid that the young lady will reach Taiyuan is the end, and the saddle horse is tired, but she only wants to go on.

Suddenly, the horse's hooves in front of him were in a hurry, and a horse arrived, and the man jumped off the horse and said urgently, "Miss...... There is a change ahead. ”

Pei Mingcui was not shocked, and asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

The man said: "There are a lot of bandits in front of us, and we are afraid of danger." ”

"In this weather, how can there be bandits?" Pei Mingcui frowned.

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know for the time being, I received the communication from the front, so I quickly turned around and told the young lady." If you want to message, you will know in a moment. ”

It turned out that Pei Mingcui rushed to Taiyuan, although she seemed lonely, in order to take care of the safety of the young lady, the shadow was like a march, and there were more than a dozen horsemen who kept exploring the road. It doesn't hurt if it's an ordinary few bandits, but if there is a large army, you should avoid it.

At present, Liu Wuzhou is fighting in Taiyuan, and the shadow is afraid of affecting the pond fish, so he has sent more people to inspect the road conditions.

The shadow hurriedly said, "Miss, let's wait." ”

Pei Mingcui nodded, the carriage stopped on the side of the road, and after about half an hour, another horse galloped and said, "Miss, it's Liu Wuzhou's defeated army." ”

Pei Mingcui was slightly stunned, "Liu Wuzhou is defeated?" She didn't believe her words, and the man said: "Yes, I heard that Pei Lian's army has been drawn from Hedong, and the Liu family army has been unable to attack for a long time, and the army is disheartened. The bandits in front of them were Liu Wuzhou's subordinates, and they asked the young lady to take a detour. ”

After Pei Mingcui listened, she muttered: "It's good to lose, it's good to lose." ”

The shadow was puzzled, "Miss, do you want to ...... Did Li Tang win? ”

"What does Li Tang's victory or defeat have to do with me." Pei Mingcui said indifferently.

The shadow said: "Miss, you also said a few days ago that Li Yuan underestimated the enemy and was likely to return with a feather, but why did Liu Wuzhou lose so quickly?" ”

Pei Mingcui sighed: "If you don't retreat, how can you have a chance to win?" When I was in Mayi, I knew that Liu Wuzhou was insidious and cunning, which was really extraordinary, and he should be an arrogant soldier. ”

"A plan for arrogance?" The shadow seemed to understand, "Miss Pei, what do you mean ......?"

"Let's hurry." Pei Mingcui said: "Their victory or defeat is none of my business. ”

"But the road is blocked, where do I go to the wild goose back to the mountain?" Shadow asked anxiously.

Pei Mingcui was silent, and there was no way to do it for a while. The shadow commanded, "Go and explore the way again...... Look where you can get to Yanhui Mountain, and there are no bandits. ”

The two horsemen were about to leave, and another rider arrived, and immediately the man said, "Miss Pei...... Shan Xiongxin led the troops to ask for a meeting. ”

Everyone was slightly stunned, and the shadow frowned and said, "What is that Wagang giant thief doing here, he must have bad intentions, and he will not see it." Pei Mingcui looked into the distance and said softly, "Please come over." ”

The messenger turned around without hesitation, and the shadow wanted to say something, but Pei Mingcui waved his hand and said: "If he has bad intentions, he will rush over with his troops, shadow, you don't have to worry." ”

Waiting for the tea, the horse's hooves in the distance, hundreds of horses came from afar, the first general, one-handed horizontal lance, it was the famous general Shan Xiongxin of Wagang. He was followed by more than 100 horsemen, but the movements were neat, although it was cold and windy, but it was like a mountain and a mountain, and the momentum was as straight as a thousand troops. ”

Shan Xiongxin had already hung up the horse lance, turned over and dismounted, walked a few steps, and said with a deep salute: "Miss Pei, the king of Xiliang knows that you are coming to Taiyuan, but I am afraid that it will be uneven along the way, so I am specially ordered to guard here, please escort Miss Pei for a ride!" ”
