Chapter 5: The Nameless (Part 3I)
"The so-called thieves are those who rely on their ability to harm the people! It's not about whether he's wearing an official robe or a green forest short! This is what Dou Jiande said to all his subordinates a few months ago, when he decided to follow the example of the six counties of Boling to rebuild order in southern Hebei and build a stable base for himself, and now it has been re-mentioned by Cheng Mingzhen.
For a while, all the soldiers closed their mouths sensitively and looked directly at the speaker. Indeed, everyone was born in the green forest, but few of them were proud of their past origins. They prefer their current status, which will arouse the envy of others wherever they go, rather than smiling in front of them and immediately spitting on the ground behind their backs.
"I have heard that those who want to conquer the world must first conquer people's hearts." Cheng Mingzhen has read very few books, and he can't tell too high-sounding truths. But he did his best to have the courage to state the stakes in a way that was acceptable to everyone. "If the prince wants to compete in the Central Plains, he must first prove to the world that you are qualified to participate in the competition!"
"You think I'm not qualified?" Dou Jiande stood up from behind the handsome case, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. "So who do you think qualifies? Is it the old lady Li who seduced the Turkic invasion, or the white-eyed wolf who cut down the savior? He approached Cheng Mingzhen step by step, and his words were as sharp as a knife. Or, you appreciate Wang Shichong more, after all, he was ordered by Yang Guang, the faint monarch! β
Under the aggressive gaze of his father-in-law, Cheng Mingzhen was sweating profusely. But he didn't dare to retreat, he knew Dou Jiande's character very well, if he retreated today, he would always be treated as a pus-filled soft egg by the lord in the future. Swallowing hard, he raised his head and looked directly into Dou Jiande's eyes, "Subordinate, subordinate means, whoever guards this land has the qualifications to rule it!" β
"Cheng Xiaojiu is crazy!" For a moment, most of the civil and military forces under Dou Jiande sighed and shook their heads. Whether they agree with the other side or not, they have already seen the end of the proposer. Dou Tianwang's name was completely granted to him by himself, so he was most taboo for others to question his qualifications. However, Cheng Mingzhen, the commander of the small county, touched the scales again and again today, even if he was not dragged out and beheaded on the spot, it is estimated that the punishment of 200 military sticks would be inevitable.
If no one intercedes in time, fifty sticks are enough to send a strong man to the ghost gate. After the beating of two hundred military sticks, there must be a pile of rotten meat lying on the ground.
Just when everyone was worried about Cheng Mingzhen's life and death, they heard a burst of hoarse laughter. "Haha, haha, haha, hahahaha!"
Laughing enough, Dou Jiande patted Cheng Mingzhen's shoulder hard, "Xiao Jiu, no wonder people say that you are the one who knows the number in your heart." Just today's words to you, this king's decision to hand over Xiangguo County to you to govern is not wrong! β
After saying that, he turned his head to look around again, "Did you all hear what Cheng Xiaojiu said?" When they heard that, they went down separately and prepared. This king wants the world to see that it is me, it is me Dou Jiande. When the sky fell, it was I, Dou Jiande, who led people to go up, not those bastards who they usually worshiped as immortals! β
Just like that, he became the county guard of Xiangguo? Although Zhong Wenwu couldn't react for a while, his gaze at Cheng Mingzhen immediately became a little envious. Although Xiangguo County is currently the smallest county under the rule of the Dou Jiajun, and half of the land is uninhabited swampland. But the Dou family's army currently actually controls only four and a half counties! Anyone who can take charge of one of the four and a half counties will have a limitless future.
The sudden good luck made Cheng Mingzhen's head a little dizzy. He tried not to let people see his surprise, and thanked him in a trembling voice, "Xie, Lord Xie doesn't blame his subordinates for opening his mouth." In fact, in fact, the subordinates also thought of it rashly, and it may not be thoughtful! β
"No blame, no blame." Dou Jiande withdrew his palm pressed on the other party's shoulder, and swayed back and forth in mid-air very arrogantly, "This king needs an upright minister like you. Since ancient times, the advice has been contrary to the ear. Besides......" he paused, his gaze deep and long-term, "and let the brethren go to the fortress and fight with the Turks, although our brethren are numerous, they have never fought any hard battles. Temper and temper well, and you will be able to compete with others in the future! β
The second half of the sentence won the hearts of everyone. Although Dou Jiajun is powerful, compared with the world's sharpest Boling Jingjia and Tiger Ben Iron Cavalry, the style does seem a little soft. If you are lucky enough to win and win side by side with the Boling army, it will be a rare opportunity for the generals and soldiers to exercise. Moreover, Li Zhongjian's envoy also promised to sell armor and ordnance at a low price. With the same equipment as the officers and soldiers, in the future, I am worried that the brothers will not dare to fight with others on the battlefield?
There is an adventurous spirit in the blood of the heroes of the green forest. After seeing the benefits of sending troops north, most people's opinions were inclined to accept Cheng Mingzhen's proposal. A few people who have a deep hatred with Li Xu, such as Gao Kaidao and Yang Gongqing, although they are very dissatisfied, they are also unwilling to bear the notoriety of ignoring the overall situation for personal grievances. Therefore, in a very short period of time, the core figures of the Dou Jiajun reached a unanimous opinion: accept Boling's request for an alliance and be ready to wave his army north.
But for Boling's deliberate deception, Dou Jiande also unceremoniously debunked it. In his reply, he sternly condemned Li Xu for "spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain", not only wanting the Dou Jiajun and Boling Army to take the risk together, but also underestimating the hearts of the soldiers of the Dou Family. "Whoever shepherds the hunting side by the order of heaven has the responsibility of guarding the land. Dou is not talented, but he will never dare to be a sinner through the ages who will make the primordial spirit of the Middle Plains! At the end of the letter, Dou Jiande, a prince from Caokou, wrote, "If the Hu people dare to go south to herd horses, General Li only needs to get out of the way to the north, and the 200,000 soldiers of the Dou family will face the wind, and they will not dare to spin even if they die!" β
"There is no need to die, it is enough for him not to hack us from behind at that time!" Putting down Dou Jiande's reply, Zhao Ziming smiled and commented.
"This Dou Tianwang really can't be regarded as a bandit!" Li Xu took Zhao Ziming's words and sighed with emotion.
Dou Jiande's reaction was beyond the expectations of everyone in the Boling Army. Before the messenger Fang Yannian returned, Li Xu and his generals had been having a headache about how to block the Dou family's army in the south of Hengshui when they were pouring their main force north. Now, things are starting to turn on the happy side. Although the combat effectiveness of Dou Jiande's department is a little worse, it is better to have a large number of unexpected reinforcements than an additional group of enemies.
"I'm afraid it's easy to invite God, it's hard to send God!" For Dou Jiande, who killed his distant uncle Guo Xuan, the general Guo Fang has never been able to raise a good impression.
"It's true, the army of 200,000, without anything else, can eat us poor just by eating and drinking!" Lu Qin smiled and picked up. If after the Turks were defeated, the Dou family army refused to leave in Zhuo County, and the Boling army, which had just owed the other party a great favor, would indeed not be able to immediately face each other.
In this regard, Zhao Ziming's attitude was relatively optimistic, he smiled, and reminded in a low voice: "General Guo is too worried, and it is not only Dou's family who came to help in the war!" β
"The other one is the one who just takes advantage of the advantages and does not suffer losses!" Shi Defang pursed his lips and responded before Guo Fang.
The other refers to Li Yuan. According to the news that the brothers who accompanied the Li family in Hedong to the south were sent back by horse, on the seventh day after the defeat of Chang'an, Li Yuan, who was the king of Tang, sent Li Jiancheng's left army to the north side by side with Li Wan'er's women's army. At the same time, he also crowned Li Xu as the general of the hussars through the hands of the puppet emperor Yang Yun, opened the palace with the three divisions, and awarded the title of hereditary king of Boling County.
According to the official system of the Great Sui, the hussar general is the highest rank among the military generals, and the Kaifu Yitong Sansi is the highest rank among the civilians. And the knighthood of the king of Boling County is already close to the limit of his rank, and if he goes further, he can be compared with Li Yuan's current Tang king.
With so many overwhelming benefits, it is naturally not just to "reward" Li Xu for borrowing 3,000 troops before. With the cleverness of Shi Defang and others, they saw through Li Yuan's true purpose at a glance. The other party wants to officially include the six counties of Boling under the name of Yang Yu, the puppet emperor of Chang'an, after defeating the Turkic wolf riders together. In that way, when Li Yuan attacked Luoyang in the east and Bashu in the south, he no longer had to worry about the threat to Hedong. Whether it is Liu Wuzhou or Dou Jiande, if he rashly uses troops to Taiyuan, he will definitely be hit hard by Boling.
The German side was very dissatisfied with this. He believes that if Li Yuan hadn't borrowed the Turks from the Turks and exposed the weakness of the Central Plains, he would not have let the Ashina brothers, who were fighting with each other, see greater benefits, and then had the idea of joining hands to join forces. Since it was Li Yuan who caused the trouble, why did he let Boling's children die for his mistake? If Li Yuan knew about Entubao, it would be fine, but now it is obvious that his own lord has given up the opportunity to compete for the world in order to make up for Li Yuan's mistakes. But instead of being grateful, the Li family also started the idea of the six counties of Boling, which is really despicable and shameless!
Shi Sima might as well look away. As the saying goes, no profit can not be early. Li Yuanken sent a large army to help, so he naturally did not want to lose his troops in vain. But whether he can get his wish or not, the final decision is still in our hands. Zhao Ziming saw that the German side was full of gloom, and continued to smile and explain.
"The decision is ours. Zhao Sima said it lightly. With hundreds of thousands of troops stationed at your doorstep, how many options do you have left! Shi Defang sneered. Of course, sell the six counties of Boling to Hedong, and you, Zhao Sima, are still tired of officials and do not lose the state and county. But what about the lord's side, how many days can he, the king of Boling County, do? β
