Li Chongjiu thought of the matter of making a move against Song Jingang and unifying Shanggu County, and now when it comes to the forces on the battlefield, he does not have the ability to defeat Song Jingang, and he can't win the battle, so he can only use calculations.

In the past few months, Hebei has undergone great changes, Xue Shixiong has broken Gao Kaidao, Gao Tan Sheng, Wang Xuba, and Yang Yichen is now breaking Zhang Jin's name, Gao Shida. And Dou Jiande, as the Sima in the original Gao Shida army, contained the remnants of the army at this time, and first captured Raoyang by surprise, and had a base to let the soldiers recuperate. After that, Dou Jiande rebelled against the king and thieves, and after capturing the city, he killed court officials and scholars, and courteously courtesy Song Zhengben of Raoyang County and made him his mastermind. As a result, Dou Jiande gradually won the support of the court officials.

Then, not long ago, Li Chongjiu heard that Dou Jiande contained the defeated army, collected the corpses of those who surrendered to Yang Yichen, but were killed and captured by the Sui army's treachery, and buried them alive. After that, Dou Jiande called himself a general, mourned for Gao Shida, and the whole army was vegetarian, but in a month, Dou Jiande had gathered 50,000 or 60,000 people, and more than 10,000 soldiers. In the words of the imperial court, it is the recovery of thieves.

So what is Dou Jiande's next goal now, Li Chongjiu remembers that if he follows the historical route, after Dou Jiande takes power, he will annex Wang Xuba's team after his death, so he and himself definitely have the same goal at the moment.

The two sides have common interests, but whether they can cooperate or not is what Li Chongjiu has to consider. In history, Dou Jiande was the generation of heroes who seized Hebei, and he was the only person who could have a long time with Li Yuan in the rebel army in the world after Li Mi. If Li Chongjiu wants to seize Hebei in the future, there will be a bloody battle with Dou Jiande.

Will this cooperation between the two sides be a tiger skin? Today's alliance may be an enemy tomorrow, and perhaps Dou Jiande may also regard himself as a fierce rival in his heart. Of course, the best thing on both sides is to eliminate Wei Dao'er's department first, Li Chongjiu can annex the entire county of Shanggu, and Dou Jiande's benefits are not small. But how can he get on the line with Dou Jiande, Li Chongjiu thought of Zhao Wansan, and immediately ordered someone to invite him to the study.

Zhao Wansan put on his official uniform, walked into the study, and gave Li Chongjiu a respectful salute.

Li Chongjiu motioned for the other party to sit down, and Zhao Wansan immediately said: "Tell Taishou, the current situation in Fanyang is stable, before the rebellion of Wang Suba, many wealthy families in Fanyang County have escaped, and they have tried to ask them to return to Fanyang, and now one or two wealthy families have agreed." ”

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "At the moment, Pepsi is busy, and the Zanfu is also the affairs of Fanyang and Feihu counties, but they are handled in an orderly manner, and they are really capable." ”

Zhao Wansan was very happy to be praised, and said: "Thank you Taishou for your praise, this is all a lowly thing to do, and now the 1,000 county soldiers newly recruited in Fanyangli, Gao Duwei has also been training for a month." Because of the promise of one bucket of rice per month, the people who signed up in Fan Yang were very enthusiastic, so they also picked a group of good soldiers. ”

Li Chongjiu heard that a bucket of rice is more than twelve catties, and according to the current price of rice, it is almost thirty or forty yuan. In this era, if an adult man wants to eat well, he needs at least two buckets of rice, and half a bucket of rice, which is almost enough for his wife and children at home, to boil porridge and eat for half a month. What's more, if you enter the barracks, you will definitely be able to eat your stomach, which is a beautiful difference for the people living in the war.

However, for Li Chongjiu, the entire Shanggu County is now only 2,000 county soldiers, not that he does not want to expand the army, but that there is a shortage of food and grass. These 10,000 grassland iron horses went south, and the consumption of eating horses and chewing every day was an astronomical amount. Two thousand soldiers is the limit of Shanggu County. But even with the addition of these two thousand soldiers, Li Chongjiu still did not have the certainty of capturing Yi County and defeating Song Jingang.

Li Chongjiu said at the moment: "The officials of the Zanfu are competent, I know, I invite you to come this time, but I asked one thing, when I went to Zhaozhuang, I remember that the Zanfu seems to have an old relationship with Dou Jiande, right?" ”

Zhao Wansan immediately stood up when he heard this, sweat oozed from his forehead, and he said in fear: "Back to Taishou, in the past, Dou Gong was a great favor to me Zhao, but after the Taishou, he was loyal to Taishou, and he had no contact with Dou Gong anymore. ”

Li Chongjiu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Zan Fu sat down and spoke." ”

Zhao Wansan sat down on the chair with his buttocks halfway apart. Li Chongjiu said: "Don't worry about Zanfu, I came to you for Dou Jiande's matter, how did you get acquainted with him?" ”

Zhao Wansan said at the moment: "Don't dare to hide it, I met Dou Gong when the Son of Heaven conquered Liaodong, at that time, I was going to Liao with Touching Yang Gong, that is, Sun Anzu and Brother Sun. Brother Sun was brave, and the county order intended to be reused, but at this time, Brother Sun's house had just been flooded, and his wife was starving to death. Brother Sun then pleaded with the county magistrate and exempted him from military service. The county order was to whip Brother Sun, and several of us couldn't see it, so we killed the county order together with Brother Sun. ”

"After that, we fled all the way, fortunately Dou Gong rescued him, so he was saved from death, and then Brother Sun wanted to go to Gaojibo to fall into the grass. And I was worried that my family had secretly returned to Zhaojiabao, and the government had not wanted me. A few years later, the original patriarch fell ill and died, and I became the patriarch of the Zhao family. ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Zanfu, what do you think of Dou Jiande?" ”

Zhao Wansan gave a thumbs up without hesitation and said: "Taishou, Dou Gong is the most righteous person I have ever seen, back then, we and other officials were all involved in killing heads, Dou Jiande and Brother Sun and I didn't have much friendship, and they were willing to risk death to help each other, purely for a righteous word." A few years ago, his father died of illness, whether it was the township or Hebei Haojie, there were thousands of people, and he did not accept any money given to him. Such a good man who values righteousness over wealth, how can Zhao Wansan not admire. ”

Li Chongjiu nodded, from Zhao Wansan's admiration, he already had a rough understanding of Dou Jiande. Such a person is not easy to deal with, and he is also very easy to deal with, and whether he succeeds or does not is between his words. If Li Chongjiu rashly asked Dou Jiande to send troops in the past, there was a good chance of being refused. But after being familiar with history, Li Chongjiu just knows where Dou Jiande's heart is now, and the two sides will hit it off.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu said: "At present, our army wants to defeat Song Jingang, but the war is unfavorable, temporarily trapped in the upper valley, and needs to seek reinforcements from outside. ”

Zhao Wansan listened to this, and his face showed a little embarrassment. Li Chongjiu saw Zhao Wansan's expression and knew that he was unwilling to abolish his personal relationship for official business, which made him embarrassed.

However, Zhao Wansan still said: "Since it is too guarded to have a life, I will run for the Taishou in my humble position, I think Taishou and Dou Gong are both heroes today, and they will be able to achieve a great cause together." ”
