The situation is stronger than the man. Now the six counties of Boling need each other more than Hedong, and they need an ally who will not stab them in the back for the time being. As for whether the relationship between the two sides is an alliance or a vassal, it depends on the balance of strength between the two sides. If the strength of the six counties of Boling can surpass that of the Li family in Hedong in the future, they are not afraid of the other party's deliberate annexation. If the strength of the six counties of Boling will even be a problem for self-preservation, then being eaten by others will be an inevitable outcome.

"I see. The subordinates thought that the subordinates thought that the general was just to repay Tang Gong's kindness! Zhao Ziming is not a stupid person, he quickly heard the helplessness from Li Xu's words, paused for a moment, and said apologetically.

"Tang Gong is indeed good to me, but I will not take the lives of all of our Boling Army in return!" Li Xu stretched on the Hu bed and replied with a wry smile.

"The general seems to have changed!" In an instant, Zhao Ziming felt that Li Xu in front of him was a little unfamiliar, and commented in dismay.

"I want to stay the same, can I do it?" Li Xu shook his head slightly.

"Hehe, hehe......" Zhao Ziming didn't know how to answer, so he had to smirk blindly.

"Actually, we've been changing over the years!" After taking a bath, the rejuvenated Asahiko summed up in a low voice.

The lessons of countless lives made him particularly sober at this moment. Li Xu knows how big his current strength is, and he also knows that his dream without strength will eventually become empty. In the past, he used to protect the whole world with great pride, but in the end, he returned with a feather. Now, he just wants to protect the people around him, the people he cares about and cares about, and the homeland that has just regained its vitality until the end of the troubled times.

Whoever tries to sabotage this goal will cause him to resist violently. Whether it is the Yang family or the Luo family, if they want to burn the war to Boling, first ask him if the knife in his hand is willing to agree. It is true that the tiger and the iron rider are compatriots and not enemies, but those who bully the people are national thieves. Treat them as if they were foreign enemies.

The news of the Boling army's large-scale crossing of the river surprised both Dou Jiande and Luo Cheng on the east side of the Hutuo River. Although the three soldiers and horses have been in full swing before, the Boling army is obviously in a passive state, and at the critical moment, they turn defense into offense, is it too nourishing to live a life?

The scouts of the Dou and Luo families set off quickly and formed a circle around the periphery of the Boling army. However, the scouts of the Boling army did not make any counterattacks, and each time they just drove the opponent away like flies, and continued to move forward with their own soldiers and horses. The march lasted all day, and did not stop until the sun went down. At this time, Li Xu's battle flag had been planted in Hulu Valley, only twenty miles away from the county seat of Hejian, and twenty miles away from Shucheng, where the Youzhou Army on Luocheng East Road was located.

"What? You said that Li Zhongjian returned to the army, and he was in Hulu Valley! After listening to the latest information from the scouts, Dou Jiande's hands trembled, and he almost dropped the tea cup he had just picked up on the ground.

Hot water drenched his robe, but he didn't feel hot at all. The news was shocking, and it was even more unbelievable than when he heard that Gao Shida had died in battle. Who is Li Zhongjian, that is the common enemy of more than 30 villages in Hebei Lvlin. At the same time, it is also a disaster in the eyes of all heroes. There was a time when everyone swore an oath, not saying that the sky was thundering, but saying: "If I don't keep my word, let me go out and meet Li Zhongjian!" "The thunder of the sky may not be on the head, and when I meet Li Zhongjian, you are basically dead and alive.

"Is the message accurate?" Dou Jiande's confidant Wang Fubao is a well-known Wang Daring, and he can't get used to the look of surprise on everyone's faces, so he called a scout and checked the military situation again. "Can you see clearly? Did several people see it at the same time, or did you see it alone? ”

"It was seen with the eyes of his subordinates and about 20 brothers in the same team around him. Li Zhongjian's handsome flag is different from the Great Sui military flag, it is a black Daxu with a golden tassel and his surname on it! The scout team felt insulted, craned their necks, and repeated loudly, "That flag is not dared to be beaten by others, and subordinates, subordinates will recognize it when they turn to ashes!" ”

"It's the handsome banner of the Grand Governor of Boling! It is said that it was awarded to him by the faint monarch himself. Nayan Song Zhengben added in a low voice. The clothes and armor of the regular army of the Great Sui were all earthy yellow, and the military flag was red. Only a small number of pro-noble generals are qualified to stand out in the army. The last time Gao Shida, Wang Bo and others attacked Boling, Li Xu's black banner left a deep impression on many people. Everywhere they passed, thousands of troops made changes, and no one dared to shake their edge cherry.

"The one surnamed Li is demonstrating to the king!" Wang Fubao was very clever and quickly drew a seemingly correct conclusion from the scout's words. "He's announcing to us that he's coming. Trying to scare us away without a fight. His subordinates were willing to bring 5,000 soldiers and horses to meet him for a while. When he came from afar, it was the time to be tired! ”

"The subordinates are willing to go with General Wang!" Gao Shida's brother Gao Shixing also stepped forward and loudly asked for battle. Some time ago, when he heard that Li Xu died in Henan, he felt very, very disappointed. Hatred can only be washed away by eternal blood, and he needs Li Xu to kill Li Xu to comfort his brother's spirit in the sky. Now that the other party has sent it to the door himself, it just fulfills this thought.

"The last general is also willing to meet the person surnamed Li!" Gao Shixing is not the only newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and former military governor Ruan Junming and brigade leader Gao Yaxian also took the initiative to ask for help. In their opinion, the Boling army at this moment is the weakest time, and if they don't take advantage of this opportunity, what benefit will there be after the other party recovers.

"Come on, wipe the water on me!" Facing the generals who were eager to fight, Dou Jiande turned gloomy. He can tolerate the small offenses of his subordinates, but he does not want to see the order in the military tent like a plate of loose sand. There has always been no shortage of warriors and fierce generals in the rebel army, but there is a lack of strict military discipline and sober combat thinking in the rebel army.

Now is the great time for 'the Sui people lose their deer, and the world chases them together', and Dou Jiande doesn't want to be a loser or a bystander. Therefore, he had to rebuild his team so that they became as orderly as the officers and soldiers, or more like the officers and soldiers and more disciplined.

Several guards hurriedly ran forward and wiped the tea from Dou Jiande's robe. His robes were also custom-made with reference to the specifications and styles of the princes of the Great Sui, which looked luxurious and majestic. The generals quickly noticed the difference between the current identities and the original, and one by one they retreated back to where they should stand, waiting for the coach to make a final decision.

"How many people did General Lee take across the river? Is the formation scattered or neat? Was his camp entrenched in the middle of the valley, or was it halfway up the slope? Is there a water source and woods around? "In the end, he is the master of the army, and the questions asked by Dou Jiande are much higher than those of others, and they are much clearer.

"Lord Wang, the enemy army is in good order and has a clear banner. The camp is entrenched on the gentle slope of the valley mouth, near the stream, and there are not many trees around! The scout fell to one knee and reported truthfully.

The two titles of the king and the prince sound similar, but the meanings they represent are completely different. Dou Jiande nodded, with a few smiles on his face, "Well, it's good." Can you estimate the number of people? ”

"Lord Wang, it is speculated from the banner that the number of people should be between fifteen thousand and twenty-three thousand. I can't see it exactly. The scouts of the Boling army are skillful in bow horses, and their subordinates dare not get too close! The scout team thought for a moment and replied aloud.

Only 20,000 people? Several generals had disdain on their faces again. When they went north this time, they brought more than 50,000 soldiers, plus auxiliary soldiers and civilian men, and the scale was more than 100,000. Claiming 300,000 to the outside world, I still feel that the momentum is not strong enough. The enemy only sent 20,000 men to deal with the righteous army and Youzhou at the same time, which was really taking himself too seriously.

"Twenty thousand!" Dou Jiande was taken aback again and asked in a low voice. According to the information he had, this was already the entire strength of the Boling army on the west bank of the Hutuo River. What if the rebels crossed the river at this moment......? The great temptation is a little breathless. But thinking about the ending of Gao Shida, Liu Badao and others, Dou Jiande slowly regained his composure.

Li Zhongjian was good at deception, and he probably deliberately let the rebels see the emptiness of Boling, and then lure the rebels into the trap. There is also a possibility that the Boling army has a certain victory for the Youzhou army. Therefore, I am not afraid that the rebels will copy the back road, nor will I be afraid that the rebels will take advantage of the fire to rob.

He raised his head and wanted to ask Song Zhengben for countermeasures, but he saw the same confusion in the eyes of his henchmen. "Nayan thinks..."Dou Jiande asked in a long voice, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.

"The Boling Army is indeed demonstrating to us!" After pondering for a while, Song Zhengben decided to adopt Wang Fubao's statement. "Li Zhongjian wants to use his years of accumulation to force us to retreat and vacate the open space where the two armies of Boling and Youzhou are fighting, so that he can concentrate on dealing with Luo Cheng!"

"I'll just say it! Shall we just call it? It's a big deal to retreat and let Luo Cheng pick up a bargain! Gao Shixing heard that Song Zhengben agreed with Wang Fubao, and laughed and suggested.

"Don't fight!" Wang Fubao changed his mind very shamelessly and said loudly.

"Don't fight!" Almost in unison with the generals, Dou Jiande categorically came to a conclusion.

"King!" Wang Fubao, who realized that he had stolen the limelight of the lord, hurriedly bowed down and apologized to Dou Jiande.

"Well, Fu Bao, your suggestion is very correct!" Dou Jiande waved his hand generously and concluded, "If we do it first, the biggest possibility is to let Luo Cheng pick up a ready-made bargain." Besides, once Luo Cheng's kid retreats again, we may still suffer a big loss. Just like this Hejian County, it is clear that the Youzhou Army is not an enemy of us, but in fact they are borrowing a knife to kill people! ”

The example in front of me is clear, the rebels have been attacking the river for so long, and they will get any gains. Instead, in the arms of the dead soldiers who broke through, several letters from a certain surname in Hejian to Youzhou were found. In the letter, those people kept patting Luo Yi's father and son, begging them for help, and even said that they were willing to support Luo Yi as the general manager of Hebei, and never betray him. Before the rebels arrived in the city, Luo Cheng and the wealthy families in Hejian looked at each other unpleasantly, and almost pulled out their knives to cut each other.

Although Dou Jiande now claims to be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, he is not benevolent to the point of sacrificing his brothers to fulfill Luo Yi's father and son. Several core generals discussed it and simply reciprocated. It was decided that no matter which of Luo Cheng or Li Xu wanted to take the county seat, the rebels would always stand by and watch!

"My subordinates suggested, let's retreat to Leshou!" After deciding on the general direction of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, Song Zhengben thought about it and suggested.

"What I say is very much in line with my heart!" Dou Jiande nodded and agreed with Nayan's opinion.

Although Leshou County also belongs to Hejian County, it is a hundred miles away from the county seat. The county is two hundred miles away from Anping, on the edge of Boling County. No matter how suspicious the butcher surnamed Li was, seeing such a big move by the righteous army, he knew that everyone had no ill will towards him. So the surname Li and the surname Luo pinched each other as soon as possible, how much effort to make how much strength, Dou Jiajun watched the excitement from afar.

"Let's break the siege overnight and retreat to Le Shou. Before leaving, Masakami wrote a letter for me to the county guard. Tell him that we have mercy on the people of the city and give them a month to harvest the summer grain. After the wheat is cut, I'll come back and get this projectile town! Hearing the footsteps of the generals going away, Dou Jiande gave an order to Song Zhengben, who was staying.

"How can this be done, the king wants to accept the name of benevolence and righteousness, and it is not such a benevolent and righteous method!" The candidate to serve as the commander of the guards was Dou Jiande's wife-in-law Cao Dan, and after hearing his order, he couldn't help but interfere. "Besides, we don't have much of our own military rations, and we chew ...... every day in this army."

As soon as he was halfway through his words, he was interrupted by a sharp gaze shot from Dou Jiande's eyes. According to the rules of the army, the guards have no right to discuss politics. The first time you intervene indiscriminately, you will be beaten with a military stick, and the second time you repeat it, you will be relegated to a criminal camp to suffer. If you arrive at the prison camp, your mouth is still full of tongues, and after being reported, your head will be cut off and hung on the flagpole for public display. And Cao Dan was born with a big mouth and a straight heart, and he has already been beaten with a stick this month.......

"The last general, the last general......." Cao Dan was covered with sweat when he was seen by Dou Jiande, and muttered to explain. He wanted to mention his sister's name, but he really couldn't pull that face in front of Song Zhengben, an outsider. I had to hang my head and wait for my brother-in-law to be gracious.

"Go down to the camp. After a month's imprisonment, he will be a captain in the former army! Dou Jiande sighed, patted his uncle's shoulder, and ordered.

"Lord Kai Ngai!" Seeing this, Song Zhengben hurriedly pleaded with Cao Dan. At this moment, there are only three people in the military tent, and Dou Jiande can completely pretend that he didn't hear Cao Dan's words. Anyway, as long as the parties don't say it, others won't have nothing to do in the future to accuse Dou Jiandejiao of indulging in henchmen.

"I told you, we have to fight for the world now, not for a few mouthfuls of hot food in front of us!" Dou Jiande grabbed Cao Dan's arm and pushed him directly out of the military tent. "Go find Mingfa to report to the army yourself, don't embarrass your old Cao family!"

Turning around, he questioned Song Zhengben again, "Nayan once suggested that I order a ban, is this advice invalid for the cronies around me?" ”

"This...?" Song Zhengben was speechless when asked, so he had to watch Cao Dan walk away. "General Cao is also out of kindness!" It was only after the unlucky man's back disappeared into the night that he could barely think of a suitable reason to intercede.

"If we don't want the people to treat us as robbers, we must first treat ourselves as robbers!" Dou Jiande shook his head and smiled to point out his good intentions.

He is not a gang of gangsters, not a rabble who only know how to rob. Winning the championship, who said that only the big families are qualified?

There will be no seed in ancient times.
