On a night's march, Dou Jiande sent dozens of teams of scouts to find Xue Shixiong's men and horses.

When it was almost dawn, there was finally a return of men and horses, and Xue Shixiong's 30,000 horses were stationed in Niukou. found Xue Shixiong, Dou Jiande hurriedly sent a team of knights to rush back to tell Fan Yuan, who led most of the followers, and led the cavalry to immediately go straight to Niukou.

The army hurried and finally reached a distance of two miles from Niukou.

At this moment, the knights who came out of the mountains suddenly found that the sky had brightened for some time, and the autumn wind blew through the knights' bodies, and everyone felt the biting coldness of the autumn frost on their bodies.

But at this time, they all found that General Dou's eyes were colder than Qiu Shuang.

"It's dawn." After an unspeakable silence, suddenly a knight walked with infinite loss.

"The sun will rise in a while, and looking at the light in the east, it will definitely be a sunny day today." Dou Jiande bit his mouth tightly, and a touch of blood slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He never thought that for the sake of the mountain, he would fall short.

If he hadn't missed his way a few times last night, Hua would have arrived more than an hour ago.

Gao Yaxian jumped off his horse, and the tall Hebei man was listless at this time, as if the autumn frost on the armor had frozen his spirit. With heavy steps, he came to Dou Jiande, his mouth open, but he didn't know where to start.

With a long sigh, he stomped his foot and said, "General, the words of ghosts and gods are nothing but ethereal things. Now that we've all come to this point, I won't be reconciled if we don't fight. General, let's do this vote, regardless of whether he wins or loses, whether he is dead or alive. ”

A few more generals also stepped forward, and the matter had come to this point, and if they were to leave it at that, they would be a little unwilling.

Dou Jiande's heart was full of bitterness, and there was no such breathtaking light in his eyes. At this time, his face was gray, his eyes were blank, his proud head was lowered, and all he thought about was the will of heaven.

Could it all be providential? Is it that the heavens think that I can only be a mud tuǐzi and can't be a hero who dominates the world? Does God really think that I am hopeless? If not, why did we lose our way last night, and is it all the will of God? In order to prevent me from rushing to Xue Shixiong's army before sunrise?

It's just a little bit, a little bit. One more hour will suffice. Why is God so ruthless? He has come to this day at a price that many people can't see before. Blood and fire again and again, life and death again and again, he has only come to this day, but why is he still so ruthless?

At this moment, he was disheartened.

Raising his head, Dou Jiande opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Providence is so, let's surrender." When Fan Yuan and them arrived, they immediately surrendered to Xue Shixiong. Although Chen Pojun is young, he has also done great things in the past. Follow him, not seeking wealth and glory, but seeking to live in peace. ”

Dou Hongxian looked at his father's depressed appearance, and his heart ached. Tears couldn't help but drip in her eyes, remembering that her father had taken her with her over the years and suffered a lot. Families are ruined and people are displaced.

In the rebel army, I had to worry about the encirclement and suppression of the court officials and soldiers all the time, and I never even dared to sleep with peace of mind. My father, who was only forty-two years old, was already old and decrepit, not only was his hair white, but even his face was extremely haggard.

stepped forward to hold his father's hand, Dou Hongxian sobbed softly with tears, "Daddy, if the sky is not fair, then the daughter is willing to accompany her father to break this day." Daddy, as long as the belief in your heart is firm, people can also win the sky. If Daddy really accepted his fate like this, then our father and daughter would have died for a long time without knowing how many times, how could they still be today? Daddy, we have long been a group of people who have been abandoned by God, and over the years, haven't we all worked hard to earn it back by ourselves? The daughter knows that her daughter is still alive to this day, and all this is not God's mercy, all this is given to me by my father. Today, why does my father care so much about God? Your life is up to you, Daddy! "My life is up to me, not to God?" Dou Jiande looked at the nun and muttered in a low voice.

Every time he read it, the look in his eyes increased a little more.

A horse rushed from the south, and the knight turned over and dismounted, "General, General Fan led 100,000 soldiers and horses only ten miles away from here. General Cao Zhan led 200,000 horses, less than 30 miles away. "Are they all here?" Dou Jiande smiled bitterly in his heart. …,

Fan Yuan's 100,000 horses were the men and horses in the previous rebel armies, and they could be regarded as combatable soldiers.

This time, the city fell, but the 200,000 people led by Cao Zhan were not righteous troops, and they were not even young and strong. These 200,000 people are basically the men and horses coerced by the previous rebel armies, and in order to succeed in today's battle, Ling Jing and they also brought all the young men and women in Leshou City.

Originally, when he heard Dou Hongxian's persuasion just now, Dou Jiande, who was already a little cheerful in his heart, heard that all the 300,000 horses of Le Shou had already arrived. But my heart was heavy and dazed,

In his heart, the providence was too heavy, like a mountain pressing on his heart.

If it were just himself, he would be willing to try a commandment. But right now, there are still 300,000 people behind him, knowing the will of heaven, but he still has to take the lives of these 300,000 people to die. No matter how ruthless he is, he can't make up his mind about such a thing.

With a long sigh, Dou Jiande stretched out his hand to stroke his daughter's green silk, and said in a low voice, "Line Niang, sometimes, the destiny of heaven cannot be violated." Dad also figured it out, that's it, that's it. Just surrendered Chen Pojun like this, and I no longer think about fame and wealth, princely hegemony. I only want to return to the field and return to the township to be a farmer. It's enough to have you and your aunt around. Daddy can't take the lives of so many brothers, but he can do his own work. ，…

"Big brother!" Gao Yaxian and other old subordinates burst into tears when they listened.

They have never had such confidence and respect for the man in front of them as at this moment. Even at this moment, they felt that even if they died for this man, they would never say anything.

let go of the last bit of obsession in their hearts, and everyone relaxed instead. After a night of forced marching, everyone was already exhausted. At this time, everyone fell back and forth, relaxing in all directions, and after a while, most of the two thousand people had fallen asleep in this place only two miles away from Xue Shixiong.

Dou Jiande leaned against a big tree, hugged the line girl in his arms, gently patted his daughter's back, and coaxed her to sleep. At this moment, he forgot about the fighting of officers and soldiers, and forgot about the fighting of the righteous army. There is no blood and fire, no life and death, as if it is back more than ten years ago, when the daughter was just born. Every day when he came back from sunset, he would always hold his lovely daughter and coax her to sleep like this. At this moment, his heart was so calm, calm as a pool of autumn water.

I don't know how long it has been, it seems like only a moment, as if many years have passed.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps woke Dou Jiande from that dream-like feeling, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there was already a figure of pupils coming from the south not far away. He was shocked, he remembered that it was still morning dawn, and he saw that the sun was about to rise. Why is it that now there is a hazy yīn everywhere, and there is no figure to be seen more than ten steps away. Could it be that he slept here all day?

He looked around, and many knights were awakened by this time, and everyone was as surprised as he was, and kept talking softly. After a while, the figure over there had already arrived, but it was Fan Yuan who took the lead.

Fan Yuan saw the people and horses lying around in a mess, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"General, what's going on? Have you been ambushed? Fan Yuan found Dou Jiande and asked loudly.

When Dou Jiande saw Fan Yuan, he said suspiciously, "Why did you only arrive now?" It's been a day, didn't you say in the morning that it was only ten miles away? Well, it doesn't matter. I have already decided, surrender to Chen Pojun, all this is providence. ”

Fan Yuan's face was surprised, and he said loudly, "General, what happened?" It's only been half an hour since the last time I sent someone to report that it was ten miles away. General, there is a heavy fog in the mountains and forests, this is God to help me wait. It seems that God has helped me, and God has arranged for us to defeat Xue Shixiong. General, 100,000 soldiers and horses have arrived, attack! Dou Jiande was shocked when he heard this, jumped up, and looked around for a while.

"Fan Yuan, is it really still morning?" Fan Yuan nodded, "It's Mao time, if it weren't for the fog, it is estimated that the sun would have come out." However, God helped us to wait, and there was such a fog that not only did not the sun rise, but it was also suitable for us to attack Xue Shixiong's camp. After a while, Dou Jiande finally understood the situation in front of him, and his heart, which was already as calm as water, could no longer be suppressed. Standing there and laughing a few times, Dou Jiande's face was swept away.

Looking at the 100,000 horses behind him, Dou Jiande felt jīdàng in his heart, especially the sudden fog, which made him even more confident. It's definitely providential, providential. With such a heavy fog, Xue Shixiong would definitely not set off immediately, and would definitely wait until the fog cleared before marching. At this time, they suddenly attacked the camp from the fog, and they were sure to succeed.

Holding the war horse, Dou Jiande raised the gun in his hand energetically, "Providence is so, I will win this battle, let's go!" ”

Dou Jiande took the lead, followed by Dou Hongxian and Dou Jiande's thirteen adopted sons. Two thousand cavalry took the lead, followed by one hundred thousand foot soldiers. In the fog, there are no five fingers to be seen a few steps away. Since Xue Shixiong entered the Liaodong military camp, he has been depressed. This time, Chen Pojun sent him to lead the Hebei army to suppress Dou Jiande, but he left his four sons in the camp, and he was even more negative in his heart. Along the way, stop and go, and there is no urgency. Camp at night, never patrol the camp to supervise, most of those soldiers are Hebei army, this matter is uncertain, and a few people will set up camp and patrol with their hearts.

Dou Jiande's 100,000 horses, taking advantage of the fog, sneaked all the way to more than 100 steps outside the camp, Xue Shixiong's camp still did not notice at all, and even the camp did not dig a ditch, did not set up a wooden fence, did not bury the feet of deer, and did not let the horses go. Facing the 100,000 Hebei Nongbi Army, it is like a slippery big girl, facing a group of bandits and hooligans.
