May 18 Ambush

When Wang Xiaohu heard Dou Jiande's questioning, his face changed color, and he shouted: "King Changle, General Gao was not killed by me...... How could I have what it took to kill him? Besides, why did I kill my brother? I wasn't so mean when I was! ”
Dou Jiande said coldly: "You may not have the ability, but if you take advantage of his unpreparedness, you can kill him." Before he died, General Gao was full of disbelief and consternation, and he never thought that this person would kill him.www.biquge.info ”
Liu Ya reprimanded: "Wang Xiaohu, you have followed King Changle for eight years, how can you do such a thing that is inferior to a beast?" ”
Wang Xiaohu's face was defeated, holding the hand of the single knife, the green muscles burst out, and he suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay, Dou Jiande, everything is on my head." The rumors were spread by me, and General Gao was also killed by me, and you are said to have failed miserably today, and it is also because of my Wang Xiaohu, are you satisfied now? ”
Dou Jiande's eyes showed pain, "Why?" Who bought you? Isn't it Xiao Buyi? ”
"Why?" When Wang Xiaohu heard Xiao Buyi's three words, he didn't reply directly, but regained his composure, "Don't you understand?" ”
"Understand what?" Dou Jiande asked word for word.
"We're tired, we don't know what to do." Wang Xiaohu said word by word: "I have followed you for eight years, what have you gotten so far?" I didn't get anything! ”
Liu Yacai wanted to scold, but Dou Jiande waved his hand, "Let him continue." ”
Wang Xiaohu let go of the handle of the knife and sat down slowly, "Brother Dou...... This is the last time I'll call you big brother. ”
Dou Jiande's face was blank, but his fists were already clenched.
Wang Xiaohu said miserably: "Even if you get it, what can you do?" It's not in the water, and all the brains are returned to you? Ruan Junming, Cao Ziqi, Cao Kangmai, and Fan Yuan have also followed you for many years. It may be shocking, it may be shocking, but what do they get? People die, and there's nothing left! No one has one life, and so do I. My whole family was slaughtered by the imperial court, and I am still alone, I am actually very afraid, really afraid! ”
Liu Ya's face changed, he never thought that these brothers would be afraid. Over the years, they can be said to be struggling between life and death every day, Wang Xiaohu is a dead soldier under Dou Jiande, a general, every time he fights, he is brave in front, he will also be afraid?
He saw the pain in his brother's eyes, and he also knew that his brother was telling the truth this time, but for some reason, he felt palpitations.
Wang Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't know if I'm alive when I open my eyes every morning. I close my eyes every night, I don't know if I can wake up tomorrow, Dou Jiande, you saved me, a total of four times! I remember it vividly. ”
"If you remembered, you wouldn't have done this kind of sellout for glory." Liu Ya sneered.
Wang Xiaohu said: "Do you want everyone to return to their hometown, but also a matter of selling the lord to seek glory?" ”
"What the hell are you talking about?" Dou Jiande frowned, finding that he no longer understood Wang Xiaohu, and what Wang Xiaohu said was diametrically opposite. This was unimaginable before.
Wang Xiaohu said: "Recently, I've been thinking, if you didn't save me at the beginning, but let me die, would I not have to suffer all these years anymore?" If that's the case, I'll be a lot happier. Are you saving me, or are you hurting me? ”
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Liu Ya couldn't help but scold.
Dou Jiande's eyes showed sadness, "Do you think I'm hurting you?" ”
"You save me and harm me, who can say clearly? But I think that if I had died back then, I would have been much happier than I am now, because I still had a dream at that time, I thought that you would make my hometown parents live a good life, and even if I died at that time, I thought that you would make it happen for us. Wang Xiaohu suddenly laughed out loud, with indescribable presumptuousness, "But I know that dreams are difficult to come true, you have changed, you have changed a lot." You are no longer the big brother Dou in the eyes of your brothers, you actually want to be the emperor, but you don't do it now, just because you still want to use Kedun's horses, right? Ignoring Dou Jiande's answer, Wang Xiaohu said again: "Of course you want to be the emperor, who doesn't want to?" So you are unwilling, so you have to send troops to attack Xiao Buyi. You know, Xiao Buyi will not let you go, Xiao Buyi and Li Yuan will not let you go, because the brothers may still live, only you have no way back! So you treat Pei Ju as a treasure, so if you come to Sui Chen to join him, you will treat each other with courtesy, and you can't wait to make the Sui ministers in the world think that you Dou Jiande will ...... to them will be better than Yang Guang for both of them. You hope that they can bring you the world, you respect them, but you disdain your brothers, because in your mind, even if Sui Chen is incompetent, he is more useful than our brothers, although you call us brothers, but when you become the queen of Changle, you look down on us who work with you, right? ”
"Go on." Dou Jiande stopped Liu Ya's dissatisfaction and said in a low voice.
Wang Xiaohu said again: "There were two hundred and eighty-three brothers who followed you, and I was one of them. At that time, everyone followed you to attack the Sui camp, and no one thought of coming back alive, and before they arrived at the Sui camp, no one was left behind. Because we know that even if we die, you can fulfill our wishes and protect our families. But after that battle, your reputation grew, and you changed, and the higher your prestige, the less you listened to your brothers. You believe more in Song Zhengben, Ling Jing, Qi Shanxing and a bunch of powerless scholars, and you believe in Pei Ju, Cui Junsu, Ouyang Xun and a group of incompetent Sui Chen! At the beginning, Li Mi couldn't resist Xiao Buyi, I waited with one heart to help Li Mi, if Li Mi was undefeated, why did I wait for the situation so far? But because of your daughter and a traitor Luo Shixin, you changed your original mind and stood by and watched Li Mi's defeat! As soon as Li Mi died, you didn't want to deal with Xiao Buyi, but you were in a safe corner, and you couldn't wait to kill Yu Wenhua and in the name of tree orthodoxy, but our predicament was out of control. You seem to be calm, but your ears are soft, indecisive, and you don't know how many brothers you have harmed. Wait until today, and find that you can't be safe, so you can get up. But of the two hundred and eighty-three brothers who followed you to fight the world, up to now, there are only forty-two left, and I ask you, when you dream every night, have you ever dreamed of them? ”
Seeing that Dou Jiande was silent, Wang Xiaohu snorted: "If you don't say it, then I'll tell you, I have!" Every night I dream of my dead brothers, who call me to be together! They say that if this continues, there will be only one death, and there will be no way to live! Dou Jiande, you answer me, did you hear it? ”
Dou Jiande finally let go of his fist and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." ”
"You're kind of, you're sorry to us at this time?" Wang Xiaohu laughed, "Yes, it's a rumor I spread, saying that 'beans into the mouth of the cow can't last long', I didn't expect that you would suspect me for the first time, did you see me unpleasantly earlier?" Did you doubt me earlier? In fact, if you doubt me, it's good for you to say it, and it's easy to behead me, so why apologize? I don't need you to apologize, but I tell you, I'm spreading rumors, not for me! ”
Liu Ya couldn't help but ask, "Then who are you for?" ”
Wang Xiaohu said lightly: "I have no relatives anymore, and it is the same wherever I die." But the remaining brothers still have relatives, do they really want to die one by one for you Dou Jiande? I don't see any reason to hold on. Dou Jiande, you have been scheming all your life, and you just want to be recognized by the gate valve, but unfortunately, you can't succeed at all...... Do you know that those Sui ministers took refuge in you, but they still look down on you in their hearts. ”
Dou Jiande's face was blank and he didn't say a word.
After Wang Xiaohu said this, he was silent for a long time before he said: "King Changle, go home, that is our place, only there, brothers may be able to live for a few more years." It is true that I spread the rumors, and I was not bought by anyone. Maybe in your eyes, I betrayed you, but in my own eyes, I am worthy of my brother. ”
Liu Ya rushed over and asked, "Are you worthy of your brother?" Then why did you kill Gao Yaxian? How to explain the word 'king' on Gao Yaxian's paper? ”
Wang Xiaohu's eyes showed confusion, shook his head and said: "It's not me, I don't have the ability to kill him, let alone kill him, he is my brother!" ”
When the word brother was spoken, Wang Xiaohu swept away and pushed, and his eyes lit up.
Dou Jiande and Liu Ya didn't know why he had such an expression, but Dou Jiande already believed that Wang Xiaohu was telling the truth.
Looking at Wang Xiaohu's eyes, Dou Jiande said in a low voice: "If it weren't for you, who would it be?" ”
"Maybe it will be Wang Fubao, Wang Jiaqing, Wang Tianliang?" Wang Xiaohu suddenly laughed, "Among the remaining forty-two people, aren't there three surnamed Wang?" Dou Jiande, you said that you are not to blame for the past, but I didn't expect that you have always kept it in your heart, you are really complicated. ”
When he said this, his smile was full of ridicule, Dou Jiande's eyes flashed with shame, and he stood up with difficulty, "Xiaohu, all I can do now is I'm sorry." I blame you wrong, and I ask for your understanding. ”
"Is it wrong to confuse the hearts of the army?" Liu Ya said angrily.
Dou Jiande had already walked out of the tent, "Xiao Hu for the good of my brothers, I will consider it." Today's matter, if you want to be wrong, it's also my fault, Liu Ya, you don't have to pursue it. ”
"Consider, how long will it take?"
Wang Xiaohu's voice came from behind him, "Dou Jiande, I still want to say a few words to you." ”
Dou Jiande stopped, but didn't turn around, just said, "You say." ”
"If you had just said that, if it had been a few years ago, I would have been grateful, and I would have been born and died for you again, but now, it's different." Wang Xiaohu said lightly: "I'm tired, I don't need to understand, even if you put all the charges on me, it's okay, I chose what I like to do." I'm ...... now I even felt ashamed of Fang Cai's begging for mercy, when did I become so afraid of death? When you helped Li Mi, you said to consider, and when you joined forces with Xu Yuanlang, you said to consider, but now there is no hope, and you still said to consider. You have thought about it again and again, and we have come to this situation, I don't know how long you have to think about it, but I ...... Can't wait. ”
With a choking sound, Wang Xiaohu pulled out his knife, and it was cool, reflecting his calm face.
He has lived, fought, fought, fought, hesitated, cried for mercy, but now, everything he has experienced has disappeared like a cloud of smoke, leaving no trace.
There was no Dou Jiande or Liu Ya in front of him, but he passed by those brothers who had struggled side by side.
Sometimes, life is not necessarily happy, but it obviously takes courage to die.
He has always lacked this kind of courage, and even when he was just now, he was still afraid of death and cried out for mercy. But at this moment, he felt that death was a relief.
Courage was fleeting, and he didn't want to miss it. He held the knife in his hand, and a sincere smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Seeing Wang Xiaohu pulling out the knife, Liu Ya pressed the handle of the knife with her hand, secretly on guard, but Dou Jiande shouted, "Xiaohu! "He was about to rush over and snatch the knife from Wang Xiaohu's hand, he has this ability!
But Dou Jiande was together, and Wang Xiaohu stopped him with a word, "I don't want you to save me for the fifth time." ”
Dou Jiande froze, and he couldn't move his fingers. But his beard and hair trembled in the warm light of the oil lamp.
Wang Xiaohu reversed his wrist and stabbed it down, with a smile on his face all the time.
Liu Ya stretched out her hand to abandon the knife, rushed over and grabbed Wang Xiaohu's wrist, and shouted, "Why are you so stupid? Xiaohu, I'm just ......"
Wang Xiaohu stabbed into the abdomen, and the muscles on his face ached involuntarily, "I don't blame you, because I also had you at this time." I...... ...... of death Hope it can be saved...... Several brothers. ”
After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and died with a smile, Dou Jiande stood there, his face was no longer calm at that moment, but had an indescribable old age.
When Liu Ya saw Wang Xiaohu's smile, her heart was hot for a while, she felt a lot of blood surging, and she stood up in despair. But in his heart, there was an even greater terror.
When Gao Yaxian died, his eyes were full of disbelief and surprise. Gao Yaxian's martial arts are not bad, he can kill him with a sword, his martial arts are conceivable, but it can also be inferred that Gao Yaxian may know, otherwise he will not even have room to fight back, write the word 'Wang' on the paper, Dou Jiande suspects that it is Wang Xiaohu, and it is understandable. But now, Wang Xiaohu is dead, there is no need for him to lie when he is dying, so to speak, Gao Yaxian's death has nothing to do with him.
But among the remaining dead soldiers, there are only a handful of people with the surname Wang, and the three tigers under Dou Jiande don't have a surname Wang?
But how could Wang Fubao betray Dou Jiande?
But some time ago, I also heard that Xiao Buyi and Wang Fubao had a close correspondence.
Thinking of this, Liu Ya was shrouded in terror, he was frightened not because there were undercover agents around him, but thinking that Wang Xiaohu's death was just the beginning.
Perhaps the suspicion did not start from now on, starting from whether to unite with Li Mi, from Luo Shixin's defection, and from whether to accept Sui Chen. In fact, all the brothers were persecuted by the imperial court, and this was revealed, but King Changle was quite good to Sui Chen, which inevitably made the brothers dissatisfied.
Rothson ...... Liu Ya gritted her teeth and read the name. This man is obviously a scourge, and wherever he goes, the scourge follows!
**
The moon and stars are scarce, the evening breeze blows, and the leaves are brushed.
The soft glow of the moonlight sprinkled on the mountaintops, the treetops, the rocks, and the black earth, like snow.
Xiao Buyi stood on the mountainside of Zawangfeng, raised his eyes and looked over, not looking at the moonlight, but only seeing the camp of the Hebei Army.
In the distance, the camp is densely populated, as if the stars have fallen into the valley. Although I can see it, there is still a long way to go from the Hebei military camp.
He came here to take the path, thinking that he was going to remove some dark whistles, but he didn't expect that there was no one here.
Maybe this is really far away from the camp of the Hebei army, or perhaps, the Hebei soldiers are in danger, and no one wants to run to this halfway up the mountain to stand guard.
Judging from the mountainside, you can only see the camp of the Hebei army through the ravine slope, but thousands of troops and horses are coming, but they will not pass through here. Since the Hebei Army understands this and has troops, it will also lie in ambush at the front line, and will not stay on the mountainside.
Xiao Buyi was on the mountainside and had been observing for a long time.
Xiao Buyi stood beside Si Nan, and Zhan Qingtian, Tang Zheng, and Tie Jiang were behind Si Nan. The three iron guards were followed by dozens of guards, protecting his safety. Jia Runfu and Li Wenxiang were also beside Xiao Buyi, staring at the Hebei military camp.
"This camp is very well arranged, and it is not easy to attack." Jia Runfu said in a low voice.
Li Wenxiang said in a rough voice: "It's not easy to fight, it doesn't mean that it can't be beaten." ”
Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "What is Dou Jiande doing here?" This is something he has always wondered about, it turns out that the Hebei army retreated, Xiao Buyi has always believed that the wise way for the Hebei army is to temporarily retreat to Liyang and fight him according to Liyang. Although Niukou is a key terrain, it is only a temporary place to garrison troops, but it is not a necessary place.
Although the Hebei Army suffered heavy losses in Bishui, it still has 70,000 or 80,000 troops at the moment, and it is impossible to ignore it.
Xiao Buyi came in person this time, and he had already moved to kill, secretly thinking about how to catch these people.
The Hebei Army may not be the sharpest force among the bandits in the world, but it is obviously a very united group of bandits, and it is not easy to divide it.
So far, the bandits in the world have been Xiao Buyiping's seventy-seven eighty-eight, and they don't need to think too much about buying people's hearts like dealing with Zhai Rang, and change their strategy and turn it into a thunderous method.
If you can kill the Hebei army here in one go, or even kill Dou Jiande, it will obviously be extremely beneficial to recovering Hebei.
As soon as this idea came to him, Xiao Buyi wanted to put it into action, and immediately came over to observe the terrain.
The troops did not know the terrain, and they obviously brought their own way to death. But after observing for a long time, Xiao Buyi couldn't help sighing, the method of Xiazhai here is quite clever, and the strong attack and fire attack are not enough to succeed, and it is impossible to deal with the Huainan army like that.
If Xiao Buyi wants to make a move, the terrain is already at an extreme disadvantage. In this way, if he attacks on his own, he is afraid that he will suffer heavy losses and lose his morale.
What Xiao Buyi couldn't understand was that Dou Jiande stayed in this place, not a fortress, what did he want to do?
Xiao Buyi is not afraid of Dou Jiande's aggressiveness, but he is afraid that his intentions are unclear, and he has already known the nearby forces, and he will not come out with any troops in vain.
Xu Yuanlang is almost negligible, because at the moment, Xu Jiajun has problems with self-protection. Even if Li Jiancheng goes out to the party, Li Yuanbing goes out of Tongguan and Wuguan, Xiao Buyi will not be afraid. He had already laid heavy troops in these three places, and now he was preventing Li Yuan from attacking out of Guanzhong, but after destroying the Hebei Army, these three places were the base of his attack on Guanzhong.
Except for Li Yuan, Dou Jiande is actually isolated, but he is by no means a person who sits and waits for death.
Xiao Buyi couldn't figure it out, and was confused in his heart, but he didn't say it again. Jia Runfu said suddenly: "King Xiliang, there is a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Xiao Buyi encouraged.
"In fact, in my opinion, Dou Jiande has fallen into a dead end." Jia Runfu said.
"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Buyi asked with interest.
Jia Runfu said solemnly: "Niukou is a place, west of Bishui, south of Queshan, north of the Yellow River, but east of the mountains. Although the terrain is treacherous, but the supply is inconvenient, if I come to send troops, I don't need to attack, I just order Hanoi to guard the Feilong ferry to prevent them from escaping from there, and then use troops to choke the mouth of the cow, and then send troops to Xingze, scatter the bandits there, and cut off their way back. The Hebei army has no food, and it will definitely collapse without attacking. When the time comes, as long as they get out of the valley, as soon as the geographical advantage is lost, it will be the time for us to win a great victory. ”
Xiao Buyi pondered for a long time, "Do you know how long their food can last?" ”
"Seventy or eighty thousand Hebei troops eat, and I am afraid that the grain and grass will run out as long as it takes more than a month." Jia Runfu groaned.
Xiao Buyi smiled, "According to my information, their food is enough for March. ”
Jia Runfu frowned, but Xiao Buyi secretly thought, Dou Jiande really made a fish to death, and if he wanted to resist here for three months, it would hinder his great cause. Because according to his news, Liu Wuzhou is no longer optimistic, so to speak, Dou Jiande still fantasizes about waiting for Li Yuan to defeat Liu Wuzhou, rushing to the rescue and seizing the last opportunity?
However, this idea is not enough to convince Xiao Buyi.
Seeing that Jia Runfu was a little frightened, Xiao Buyi smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "What you said makes sense, anyway, you can't conquer the cow's mouth for the time being, so I'll use your plan first, and then seek something else." ”
Jia Runfu was slightly happy in his heart, and he couldn't laugh or cry at Xiao Buyi's behavior.
But Xiao Buyi's behavior made him feel cordial again.
Xiao Buyi didn't think much about it anymore, and ordered: "Can the drawing be completed?" A soldier stepped forward to present a map of the Hebei military camp, Xiao Buyi signaled Zhan Qingtian to put it away, and everyone went down the mountain.
The peak is not low, Xiao Buyi can see the camp clearly, but he has climbed quite high.
Looking down from the mountain, I only saw the pines and cypresses like waves, and the blue waves were undulating, like monsters entrenched.
When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their steps were brisk, and they all wanted to go through the dense forest and return from the same way, as long as they traveled some distance, they could return to the camp and sleep well. At this time, Xiao Buyi suddenly stopped.
Everyone only looked at Xiao Buyi's horse, and they all stopped, with incomprehension. Xiao Buyi asked, "We sent sentinels here?" ”
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and looked solemn.
Only then did everyone think that when Xiao Buyi climbed the mountain, he left a sentry at the foot of the mountain, and if there was anything, he should be notified in time. At this time, Xiao Buyi went down the mountain, and the sentry should come out to greet him.
But no one came forward, which means that the sentry had an accident.
Everyone was stunned, and they already knew that something was wrong, Xiao Buyi closed his eyes, but his ears were listening with all his might, and his heart suddenly pinched. Because at the moment when his spiritual platform was clear, he had heard faint breathing in the forest, beside the rocks, in the ravines, and behind the slopes.
That kind of breath is suppressed vigorously, but it lurks like a monster in the wilderness, and in this vicinity, I don't know when, hundreds of people have been ambushed, and it seems that all of them are masters!.
(To be continued)
