Chapter 693: Heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty

Wu Qizhe rushed all the way to Pengcheng, although it was early spring at this time, but snowflakes had already accumulated on the official road, he had already seen the movements of Su Su and his party with the Dafa of Thousands of Miles, and they had already arrived in Pengcheng at this time to contact the people of the Dongming faction, and he was relieved.

At this moment, two figures suddenly jumped down the way on the snow slope, and Wu Qizhe's eyes were also attracted.

is a man with a military crutch, his image is mighty but not a beautiful temperament; Another middle-aged Confucian student is also elegant.

The mighty man hugged his fists and said: "I, Liu Heimin, am the general of the cavalry under Dou Jiande, the king of Xia." ”

Another middle-aged man hugged his fists and said: "Zhuge Dewei, who is a fan in the lower iron, is Hei Min's worship brother." ”

"What do you two do?" As Wu Qizhe spoke, his mind had already begun to search for information about Liu Heimin, and he still knew something about many historical figures in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Liu Heimin was cunning and arrogant when he was young, he was addicted to alcohol and gambling, did not manage the industry, his family was poor, lacked food and clothing, and his fellow villager Dou Jiande often gave him subsidies. Later, the peasant rebels rose one after another, and Liu Heimin defected to Hao Xiaode and lived in the mountains and forests.

In the first year of Wude, Wang Shichong always heard that he was brave and strong, so he let him serve as a cavalry general to guard Xinxiang. Liu Heimin looked down on Wang Shichong, and soon led his troops to flee back to Hebei and defected to his friend Dou Jiande. Dou Jiande was overjoyed, appointed Liu Heimin as a general, made the prince of Handong County, and ordered him to lead his troops to attack from east to west. Dou Jiande had any plan, he must have ordered him to be responsible for reconnaissance alone, often taking advantage of the gap to drill into the enemy to peek at the reality, sometimes beyond the other party's expectations, taking the opportunity to attack, the battle was fruitful, and he was called "Brave General" in the army.

In May of the fourth year of Wude (621), Jiande was defeated by the Tang army, and the Xia regime was destroyed.

In July of the fourth year of Wude (621), Tang Gaozu ordered Dou Jiande to be beheaded, and forcibly recruited Dou Jiande's old generals Fan Yuan, Dong Kangmai, Cao Zhan, Gao Yaxian, Wang Xiaohu and others to Chang'an. Fan Yuan and others were not only angry that Dou Jiande was killed, but also in view of the fact that after Wang Shichong surrendered, the generals could not be saved. So he decided to raise troops against the Tang Dynasty, and learned through divination that the master surnamed Liu could succeed, so he went to find Liu Ya, the old general of Dou Jiande. Liu Ya thinks that the world is peaceful and does not want to cause trouble. Fan Yuan and others angrily reprimanded Liu Ya for injustice and killed her. found Liu Heimin again, and Chen said the reason. Liu Heimin was overjoyed, killed the cattle congregation, recruited 100 people, and attacked Zhangnan County in one fell swoop. Later, he defeated the authority of Dai Yuanshen and Weizhou, and collected all his equipment and the remaining 2,000 people. On July 19 (August 11), Liu Heimin set up an altar in Zhangnan, Beizhou, to pay tribute to Dou Jiande, proclaimed himself a general, and officially raised troops. [8]

On August 22 (September 13), Liu Heimin captured Liting, and Wang Xingmin, the general of the Tunwei, was killed. Therefore, Dou Jiande killed the old officials of the Tang Dynasty one after another in response to the uprising. On August 26 (September 17), Cui Yuanxun, a native of Shenzhou, killed his assassin Shi Peixi and rebelled against Liu Heimin. Xu Yuanlang, the governor of Tang Yanzhou, also responded with troops.

In September, Liu Heimin defeated the allied forces of Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, and Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou. On the sixth day of the first month of October (October 26), Liu Heimin captured Yingzhou, captured Lu Shirui, and captured Guanzhou.

On the third day of the first month of December, Liu Heimin captured Jizhou and killed the governor Lu Ling. On December 12, Liu Heimin defeated Li Shiji, the general of Zuo Wuhou, in Songzhou, and captured Xue Wanjun's brothers. The Turkic Jieli Khan also sent men and horses to help. The Tang court was shaken, and on December 15, it sent Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to conquer Liu Heimin. From 17 to 19 December, within three days, Liu Heimin captured Xingzhou, Weizhou, and Xinzhou one after another, and killed Pan Daoyi, the governor of Weizhou. Within half a year, Dou Jiande's original territory was fully restored. Claiming to be the king of Handong, Jianyuan Tianzao, all in Yuzhou. He fought many battles with the Tang Dynasty, first defeated by the Qin king Li Shimin, and then died at the behalft of the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

Although he was defeated by Li Shimin in the end, it has to be said that he was also a rare talent in the troubled times in the late Sui and Tang dynasties.

Liu Heimin sighed and said: "We originally came to find the big dragon head on the order of King Xia and persuaded him to go out to Li Mi first, but we didn't expect to be one step late." ”

Zhuge Dewei hugged his fists and said: "I learned that Brother Wu killed Li Mi's henchman Wang Bodang, which greatly humiliated the face of this villain, which is really happy, and I admire it very much in my heart, and I sincerely invite Brother Wu to join the army of King Xia." ”

"In the future, everyone will be rich and fair, if there is half a lie, we will not die well!" Liu Heimin promised with a straight face.

"Thanks to the two of you for your love, but I'm about to rush to Pengcheng to join my brother now, I'm afraid I'll let you down." As the saying goes, reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, the two of them are sincere, and Wu Qizhe is not easy to put on a face.

"It just so happens that we plan to go to Pengcheng to contact the Dongming faction to buy weapons, so it's better to go together." Liu Heimin obviously didn't give up.

Zhuge Dewei also admired his brother's quick wit, and found a new reason so quickly.

"Okay, we just have a company." Wu Qizhe didn't mind getting married to the heroes in the late Sui Dynasty.

"It's snowing! There is a lot of danger here, so we'd better rush to Yangwu first, and then we'll be much more comfortable talking about wine! Liu Heimin proposed.

Wu Qizhe nodded in agreement, and the three of them went on the road together.

After driving more than 40 miles in a row, the three of them settled in an abandoned Taoist temple.

The three of them gas firewood, the group sat to warm up and talk, Wu Qizhe could do it without invasion of the cold and heat, but the two in front of him couldn't.

"In addition to my brother Hei Min, the most popular one is the shadow assassin Yang Xuyan, except for the amorous son Hou Xibai, you will be the most famous, Brother Wu." Zhuge Dewei talked about the current people in the rivers and lakes.

"If you want me to say, I am far worse than Brother Wu, it is said that this Wang Bodang is one of the best masters under Li Mi, although I don't know the details, but I heard that he is not the enemy of Brother Wu at all, you can imagine how high Brother Wu's martial arts are." Liu Heimin said with a sincere face.

"Brother Hei Min is too modest." Wu Qizhe said with a smile.

"I will arrive in Yangwu tomorrow, and I will be in Pengcheng in a few days, I don't know where Brother Wu plans to go." Zhuge Dewei said tentatively.

"Both of you probably know that I'm the leader of the Whale Shark Gang, and it's not good to be adrift." Wu Qizhe said with a smile.

The two of them glanced at each other, how could such a person with a certain power base be willing to be subordinate, but it is always good to make friends.

"Someone approached." Wu Qizhe found out about the person from afar, but he only reminded him when the other party had already arrived outside the Taoist temple, anyway, in his opinion, how many people came were the same, even if it was the three great masters, he didn't care about it.

"More than twenty horsemen came." Liu Heimin listened carefully and said accurately.
