Just when Chen Kefu was thinking about how to beat the water dog and plotting to deal with Li Yuan. In Yecheng, Wei County, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties to the north, Dou Jiande, the 'King of Hejian County', was also unable to sleep and eat, sitting in the newly rewarded Hejian County King's Mansion and sighing.

Since being invited by Wei Dao'er, the king of Wei, to go south from Qinghe County to Wei County to participate in the coronation ceremony of the founding of the king of Mantian, Dou Jiande was not in a good mood all day long, and sat in the mansion all day long.

"Straight mother thief, even if there will be today, he shouldn't have gone south in the first place." Dou Jiande slapped his palm the fine rosewood desk in the study, gritting his teeth and scolding his mother.

The style of this large rosewood desk is simple, I heard that it is still the price of goods flowing out of the palace in the Northern Qi Dynasty, sitting in front of this rosewood table, it can always make people feel calm and happy. But today he couldn't calm down, and even treated this red sandalwood table as a treasure every day, and slapped it down with a heavy palm, and actually slapped this thick table apart. With a creaking sound, the four treasures of the study room and the gold utensils of the incense burner on the table, which were arranged as the façade, slipped down in an instant and fell to the ground.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Liu Mingzhen, the eldest Taibao among Dou Jiande's thirteen adopted sons, and Gao Deshen, the second Taibao, hurriedly ran in from outside. Seeing a messy object, both of them lowered their heads and didn't dare to take a breath. Since arriving in Yecheng, his adoptive father Dou Jiande's temper has become worse and worse, not only has his previous smile disappeared, but even the old brothers of generals such as Fan Yuan are often reprimanded.

Yesterday, the 12th Taibao and the 13th Taibao were on duty, and because of a trivial matter, they were whipped in public by the drunk Dou Jiande, and they still can't get out of bed.

"Get out, get out of here, go with others, King Wei, King Zhao, King Song, you can go with any of them. There are no soldiers to bring with you, and it's not interesting for you to follow Lao Tzu, get out of here! ”

Dou Jiande raised his feet, kicked one by one, and kicked the two adopted sons out of the study.

The eldest and second taibao were rubbing their buttocks outside the house, and they looked at each other with a wry smile.

"Go and invite the county lord, otherwise our brothers will be worth it today." The Great Taibao Liu Mingzhen said with a wry smile.

Gao Deshen, the second Taibao, also nodded, "That's the only way." ”

The brothers sighed secretly and rushed to the backyard with their buttocks. It's almost February, but the weather is still so cold that people feel like their blood is going to freeze, and this day is really going to be unbearable.

However, what is more unbearable than the weather is the recent changes in Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande's face can no longer see cordiality, he is drunk every day, and he beats people at every turn when he is drunk. The old brothers in the river, no one dares to come to the door now that they have nothing to do.

Although everyone saw the changes in Dou Jiande, no one had ever complained, and all the old brothers knew the reason why his temper had become so bad recently. Whoever is decreasing his soldiers and horses day by day will react like Dou Jiande. In troubled times, there are soldiers who do not panic. A soldier is the courage of a thief, and without a soldier, can he still be called a hero? Can you still gain a foothold in these troubled times?

Since arriving in Yecheng, although His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom has crowned Dou Jiande as the county king, the red line has also been crowned as the county lord. Even those old brothers in the river were also crowned generals one by one. But before everyone was happy for a few days, the Great Yan Kingdom established a military department, and established the Twelve Guards in imitation of the Sui Dynasty. All the soldiers and horses of the imperial court included not only the soldiers and horses of the Great Yan Emperor Wang Suba, but also the soldiers and horses of the King of Wei, the King of Song, the King of Zhao and others. Even the soldiers and horses of Dou Jiande and the other leaders of the rebel army were all organized into the twelve guards.

The new military system of the Great Yan State was similar to that of the Sui Dynasty, with the military department responsible for the transfer of troops, led by the 12 Wei generals, and the 1,000 people as the battalions, and the captains of each battalion as the actual commanders. Even the movement of a battalion of soldiers and horses must go through the transfer of this military department, as well as the Tiger Talisman Seal of Emperor Dayan. …,

The twelve guards of Dayan, Emperor Dayan personally led Zuo Yiwei, and named his second brother Wang Sumeru as the general of the right Yiwei, the third brother Wang Xuzhen as the general of the left Xiaowei, and the fourth brother Wang Sutuo as the general of the right Xiaowei. The four brothers monopolized the four guards, and they were all the most elite soldiers and horses.

In addition, Wei Dao'er, King of Wei, Song King Song Jingang, and Zhen Zhai'er, King of Zhao, each unified guard, and each of the three had a henchman and a unified guard, and among the remaining eight guards, six guards were accounted for.

Only two of the twelve guards remained, and Dou Jiande, the king of Hejian County, was given the title of General of Zuo Wuwei, and one of the many other leaders of the rebel army was selected to serve as the general of the Right Wuwei. could have been awarded the post of general of Yiwei, and Dou Jiande was also satisfied.

But after Wang Suba's will came down, he couldn't help but turn pale, and almost killed with a knife. Because the latest decree shows that all the soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom have been disrupted and reorganized. Dou Jiande and his old brothers in Hejian, the lowest level is also from the fourth rank of the Tiger Tooth Lang General. According to the latest system regulations, the five grades and above do not command the army in peacetime, and belong to the yamen of the guards in Yecheng, and only when the troops are dispatched, they will receive the appointment, and they can command the troops after obtaining the tiger talisman seal letter from the military department.

In this way, Dou Jiande suddenly found that although he was the king of the county and one of the twelve generals, he didn't even have a single soldier under him. The soldiers and horses of the Zuowu Guards, who nominally belonged to themselves, now all belonged to Wang Xuba, Wei Dao'er, Song Jingang and others, and the lieutenants were under the command. And not only mixed with sand, but also disrupted and reorganized, and now all his soldiers and horses are gone, except for the 5,000-strong cavalry guards of the county king's mansion. Such a thing, how he is not angry. It's just that at this time, he is on the territory of Yecheng Wang Suba and others, and he is dissatisfied, and he can only be helpless.

Not only that, Hebei Chen Pojun has recently frequently mobilized troops and horses, and its intention is very obvious, that is, Yijing is aimed at the Great Yan Kingdom in the southern counties of Hebei. Chen Kefu is not moving, and it will inevitably be like a thunderous rage. Chen Pojun's methods, he has seen many times. He was lucky enough to defeat Guo Xun and Xue Shixiong, but when facing Chen Pojun, he was always frightened and vulnerable.

He had a deep sense of crisis, and went to see Wang Suba several times, but since Wang Suba successfully united the soldiers and horses of all the departments and took away their soldiers and horses, the whole person changed all at once. In the past, although Wang Xuba took away his soldiers and horses, Dou Jiande still felt that he had the true character of a hero. But since becoming the emperor and seizing the power of soldiers and horses, Wang Suba has gradually become arrogant.

He and his three younger brothers commanded the four guards and horses, all of which were listed as the internal army of the Praetorian Guard, guarding Yecheng and inside and outside the palace. And the Wang brothers were all crowned kings. The Wang clan, regardless of the elder or younger, are all crowned princes. Although Yecheng was the capital of the Six Dynasties, when the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, Yijing razed Yecheng, the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, to the ground. But after Wang Suba became emperor, he was not busy reorganizing the army for war, but began to be busy building the palace.

Wang Xuba was on the address of the original Northern Qi Imperial Palace, and the 800,000 people who were forcibly taken in were built day and night to build a new Yecheng. The scale of the new city is large, and the new Ye City is rectangular, 7 miles long from east to west, and 5 miles wide from north to south. There are two castle walls, Guocheng and Miyagi. There are 7 gates in Guocheng, 3 in the south, 1 in the east and 1 in the west, and 2 in the north. And at the same time as the city is built, it is also on the northwest corner, imitating Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, borrowing the city wall to increase the height to build three sets such as the bronze bird, the golden tiger, the ice well, etc., which are used for sightseeing and reviewing the military horse exercises outside the city in peacetime, and serve as a city defense fortress in wartime.

This mobilized 800,000 people to build the capital of the Yan Kingdom, the momentum is magnificent, and the city wall is said to be high and thick to be comparable to Chang'an City. Wang Xuba also took the grain from all over the world, and stored it in the inner city palace city, the number of which was as much as 10 million stones, and Wang Xuba once declared at the court meeting that with this fortified city and stored grain, Yecheng could be defended for 20 years without falling. …,

Wang Suba also selected young beauties from among the people to enrich the palace, gold and jade, colored silk, pearls piled up in an unknown number, and all the clan families of Wang Suba also entered the palace to live. More than 800,000 people rushed to work day and night to build Yecheng, under the urging of Wang Xuba, not to go in March, a huge capital city Yijing began to take shape, only some details were left unfinished. The high-intensity rush made 800,000 people who built Yecheng die of exhaustion and starvation to death three months later. In order to save food, Wang Subat boiled minced meat from the dead people every day to feed the people who built the city, falsely claiming that it was the meat of wild beasts.

The palace room of the capital city has been completed, and Wang Xuba is a very few directors, and every day he frolicks with those beauties who are selected to enter the palace in the inner garden garden, the wine pond and the forest, and forgets the dynasty. Even the leaders of the rebel army who belonged to him, who dared to complain in the background on weekdays, as soon as they were heard, immediately let his brother lead the guards to arrest him from the palace and drag him through the street in chains until he died. Gao Juzhen, the leader of the Qinghe Rebels, was dissatisfied with Wang Suba's evil deeds, and connected several leaders of the rebel army who had lost their soldiers and horses, and wanted to defend Wang Suba with their own personal defenses, which was known to him. When the king had a banquet in the palace and had fun with all the officials, the king ordered him to sit in front of his seat, or cut off his hands and feet, or gouge out his eyes, or cut off his ears, or boil them in a large pot. The sound of wailing shook the sky, and the hundred officials were lost, but Wang Xuba ate and laughed freely.

Dou Jiande, who returned to the county king's mansion from the palace, only felt that in the cold New Year, the back of his clothes was soaked. Gradually, he found that before and after Wang Xuba became emperor, it seemed that Yijing had completely changed as a person. In the past, Wang Suba could be called a hero, acting decisively and ruthlessly. But now, I only saw that he was left with a ruthless heart and a faint act. Such a person is not as good as Yang Guang.

Outside, the Liaodong Army mobilized soldiers and horses, and it gradually came. But there is a king who has to pull out the power of their soldiers on the one hand, but on the other hand, he is spending all day and wine, drunk and dreaming. He yijing felt that he yijing was like an ant on a hot pot, but the pot was getting hotter and hotter, but he couldn't get out of this predicament, he could only feel that he was slowly being roasted to death.

Death is not terrible, in the troubled times, it is an accident to be able to live until now. But Dou Jiande was unwilling to die like this, too unwilling.

How to solve the worries, only Du Kang.

The chaotic troubles made Dou Jiande worried, but he could only anesthetize himself with drunkenness. Only when he is drunk can he not worry about his future in such fear.

"Alas!" The wine is in the throat, but it is sad.

A light footstep came into the house, and Dou Hongxian stepped into the house in a red palace dress, with a complicated bun on her head, and a precious silk skirt on her body, and a pink shawl between her arms, and a water-blue belt tied around the waist of the skirt. There is also a green palace silk hanging on the belt, and a bright phoenix pendant is tied at the lower end to press the skirt corner.

"Father, why is he drinking alone?" Dou Hongxian stepped forward and snatched the wine jug from Dou Jiande's hand and put it aside. Then he turned around and asked the servant maid to bring a basin of water, and wiped his father's face himself.

Dou Jiande sat there and let his daughter wipe her face, but he looked at his daughter with some drunkenness, looking at his daughter's strange but beautiful appearance at this time, his eyes also contained a little relief, "Line Niang dress up, zhende is very beautiful, and she should be the title of the county lord." In the past, your father couldn't stand you, so you followed your father in the bloody wind and rain, and ran around in the mountains and blood of corpses for many years, delaying your good youth. Is the King of Wei coming to you again today? ”

Dou Hongxian helped his father wipe his face, and carefully wiped his hands, and said while wiping, "Since arriving in Yecheng, King Wei has come to the mansion three times and five times, but his daughter can't resist him, so she has to answer him occasionally. ”

Dou Jiande sighed, "I can see that King Wei is really interested in you." I heard that King Wei also had a wife before, but when the incident started, he was denounced because the matter was not secret. He was rescued by His Majesty at that time, but the lady fell into the hands of the government, and I heard that she was tortured before dying. The king of Wei never married again, and later the king of Wei led his troops to attack Shanggu and killed all the bureaucrats and officials in the county, and he was also a loving and righteous person. ”…,

"Dad, what do you say, my daughter will not marry anyone in this life, so she will be by her father's side for the rest of her life." Dou Hongxian said softly, but the silver armor Luo Cheng he had seen when he was in the river couldn't help but float in his mind. A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he is an official, he is a thief, I am afraid that it is impossible to come together in this life. As for Wei Dao'er, although being with him is also easy and pleasant, he has never had that kind of affection for Luo Cheng. Maybe it's just a no-brainer.

"Line Niang, my father wants to take you to leave Hebei quietly, you can go anywhere, Liaozhou, Weizhou, or Luozhou, Liuzhou, I heard that these four places are sparsely populated because of their remoteness overseas. So no matter what your past status, you can go there. When you get there, you can apply for a share of the land, as long as you are willing to farm, you are not afraid of not having food and clothing. Although it is bitterly cold and overseas, there is no war, no oppression by those powerful families, and no tax oppression by the government. You and I, father and daughter, and then bring your mother and brother, and we are a family of four, living together. When the time comes, I will recruit an honest husband to come to the door, and this life can be regarded as something we couldn't have imagined in the early years. ”

Looking at his father's depressed appearance, Dou Hongxian was shocked, no matter how difficult it was in the past, he had never seen his father retreat like this, but at this time, he said such a thing, could it be that something big happened?

"Father, what's wrong, it's better to tell your daughter, and your daughter will also help her father share it."

Dou Jiande smiled bitterly, "Share, how to share, just today, Wang Xuba and Wei Dao'er actually proposed to their father one after another, and wanted to marry you." No matter if we marry one, we will also offend the other, and at present, Yan Guo is already in internal and external difficulties, but it is ridiculous that Wang Suba is still spending all day drinking at this time, I am afraid that if we stay here any longer, we will not wait long, and we will also face a catastrophe. ”

(Today's three changes are completed in 10,000 words, the weather is too hot, and there will be three changes today.) Ask for a few votes, some of the brothers can vote, not more, I will be satisfied with five votes...... ）
