At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 575 Three Swords

Dou Jiande originally wanted to take Gao Bufan under his command as a younger brother, and then marry his daughter Dou Xianniang, so he would not worry that Gao Bufan would not work hard for him. Jia son-in-law, he also needs a loyal general, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?

However, Lao Dou soon realized that he had made a wrong calculation. Gao Bufan was obviously not in the pool, so how could Qianlong be willing to be inferior to others?

Sure enough, Gao Bufan's officials became bigger and bigger, and finally broke away from Yang Guang's control and became the lord of Youzhou. His subordinates were full of talents, strong soldiers and horses, and were even stronger than himself.At this time, Dou Jiande had completely given up the idea of ​​taking Gao Bufan under his command. In addition, Gao Bufan married his eldest grandson Wugou again, and Lao Dou directly gave up the idea of ​​being Gao Bufan's cheap father-in-law.

Dou Jiande can become a hero in Hebei in history, obviously he will not be emotional because of his daughter's friendship with Gao Bufan. As the boss of one party, there are too many people and interests involved. Compared with this, the daughter's "happiness" Not worth mentioning.Moreover, Dou Jiande originally had feudal patriarchal thinking. This is different from Gao Bufan, a modern person. In his opinion, love and everything are just clouds. Love is useless!

As the saying goes: How can you allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch?

Youzhou is now the strategic rear of Dou Jiande's sphere of influence, if Gao Bufan is not dealt with, how can he fight for the world with peace of mind.Just as Yingzhou is the strategic rear area of ​​Youzhou, if Gao Bufan wanted to fight for the world, he also wanted to settle Luo Yi first. After Jianjun, he also decisively sent Su Dingfang to compete for Hejian County.

Today's Hejian County is the strategic buffer zone between Gao Bufan and Dou Jiande, whoever falls into the hands will have more initiative, so both of them are bound to win this land.

In addition, since Pei Xingyan was ordered to send troops to Hejian, he has traveled all the way south, and the states and counties he passed have offered their cities and surrendered one after another. Initiated resistance, for example - Gaoyang County.

This place in Gaoyang County is rather special. There is the palace of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, called Gaoyang Palace, which is guarded by the palace supervisor stationed by the court. Therefore, compared with other places, the magistrates in Gaoyang County are more loyal to the court. Therefore, Pei Xingyan ushered in The first tough battle after the dispatch of troops.

However, this also fell into the arms of Pei Xingyan, a war madman. Since he entered Hejian County, he was greeted with smiling faces everywhere. Apart from wiping out a few small bandits who occupied the mountain as king, he had never fought a decent battle. In the first episode, this kid's horse has long been hungry and thirsty. Moreover, Pei Xingyan has just arrived and has not made any achievements. He has just accepted an easy "beautiful job". He is also worried that others will say that he relies on nepotism. So I can't wait to fight a few tough battles to show my strength.

As a result, Pei Xingyan immediately launched a fierce offensive against Gaoyang County. Ten days later, he finally broke through the city gate, and the Youzhou army rushed in and occupied the whole city. Three palace gates were broken, but the palace supervisor of Gaoyang Palace was also loyal, and he burned himself to death in Wende Palace, and a third of the buildings in Gaoyang Palace were also destroyed by fire, which is really a pity.

Not long after Pei Xingyan took Gaoyang County, a good news came from Youzhou. The Boling Cui family agreed to his marriage with Cui Daoyun, and the soldiers under his command congratulated Pei Xingyan one after another.

Pei Xingyan looked up to the sky and laughed, that silly girl Cui Daoyun finally got it, and the dowry was Shanggu County and Boling County, which was cool, but thinking of the bet with Changsun Wuji, Pei Xingyan felt a little bit pained!
At this moment, a scout hurriedly came to report: "General Pei, just received the news from the eyeliner in Hejian County that Su Dingfang under Dou Jiande's command is leading the army northward and is attacking Hejian County."

Pei Xingyan was both surprised and delighted when he heard the words, and blurted out: "My good fellow, the land grabbers are here, but they came just in time. I just finished exercising my muscles and bones, and I haven't had time to show my strength."

Hejian County is the county seat of Hejian County. It is near Jiaohe, and it is relatively close to Xindu County and Yuanyuan County. Therefore, Su Dingfang arrived first, and rushed to the front of Pei Xingyan instead.

Brothers Cui Zisheng and Cui Zijian couldn't help but reminded: "Su Dingfang is quite a success, and he is the number one general under Dou Jiande's command. General Pei must not take it lightly."

Pei Xingyan grinned grimly and said, "How fierce is it? Let him ask Pei Xingyan's horse first, pass the order, 1000 people will stay in Gaoyang, and the rest will go south to Hejian County with the book, there must be no mistakes!"

With Pei Xingyan's order, the Youzhou army continued to march southward in mighty strength. Just after taking down Gaoyang County, everyone's morale was high, and they also recognized Pei Xingyan, the new general.

On this day, when the Youzhou Army came near the Hutuo River, suddenly there was a sound of a gong, and a group of troops rushed out obliquely, blocking the way forward of the former army.

There are not many people in this group, probably only a few hundred people, each of them is crooked, and the weapons are also miscellaneous. It looks like a group of bandits.

"This... this road is opened by me, this... this tree is... I planted, if you want to live from... from now on, stay... buy road money!" The bandit at the head stuttered his opening remarks After shouting, he tremblingly stopped in the road, his trembling trembling, very funny.

Pei Xingyan was overjoyed, it turned out that they really were a gang of thieves, but were they blind, or did they think their lives were too long?Just a few hundred people in the area came to block the way with a few fire sticks to rob. Does this general, the tens of thousands of Youzhou troops, look so harmless to humans and animals?
"What's your name?" Pei Xingyan stepped forward immediately, shaking the horse in his hand a little.

The bandit at the head immediately backed up a few steps in fright, and said in a stuttering voice, "My name is Hun Tian Dao!"

"Ask your name, not your bandit number!"

"My name is Zhou Aniu!"

Pei Xingyan laughed and said: "Blind your bull's eye, you dare to rob me, Pei Xingyan, do you think your life is too long?"

Unexpectedly, this week, Ah Niu's face collapsed, and he said with a mournful face: "I don't want to, but our boss asked me to come. If I don't come, I will break my neck and stuff it in my ass."

Pei Xingyan was surprised and said: "You masters have such skills, where are they now?"

Zhou Aniu pointed behind him: "Here we come!"

Pei Xingyan looked around and almost burst out laughing. He saw a man with a pot belly riding a bay red horse, and he was very proud to separate the crowd. The pot belly seemed to be comparable to his mount. However, when Pei Xingyan Seeing the two big Xuanhua axes carried by this person, his face slowly became serious.

Brothers Cui Zijian and Cui Zisheng also changed their complexions slightly. The weight of these two big axes is not light, at least forty or fifty catties. look.

"Who is coming, my old Cheng's big ax can't kill unknown generals." Cheng Yaojin squinted a pair of murderous eyes, and the old god was authentic.

Pei Xingyan raised his eyebrows, and this fat ball-like guy actually snatched his lines, and said coldly: "My lord of Youzhou, Pei Xingyan!"

"Hey, it turns out that you are the brat from Pei Renji's family. Come on, I, Old Cheng, will try your skills." Cheng Yaojin stretched out two carrot-like fingers and hooked them frivolously.

Pei Xingyan was furious, and was about to ride his horse forward, when Cui Zisheng came out first: "General Pei, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer, the subordinates will meet him!" After speaking, he raised his gun and rushed forward.

Cheng Yaojin took the ax in his hand, grinned and said, "Grandpa, this ax is a bit heavy, can you hold it?"

Cui Zisheng raised his gun and stabbed distractedly. Cheng Yaojin swung his huge axe with a loud bang, and the spear in Cui Zisheng's hand was shaken out of his hands with one blow. Turn the horse's head and flee.

"I'll meet you!" Cui Zijian hastily rode forward to respond, and he also stabbed with his gun. However, he learned the lesson of his elder brother Cui Zisheng, and did not go head-to-head with Cheng Yaojin, and gave full play to the flexibility of the spear.

"Hehe, the kid has learned a lot, but Grandpa is more than that." Cheng Yaojin flicked his left axe, and swiped his right ax towards Cui Zijian's ear, shouting: "Pull out your ears!"

Cui Zijian hurriedly tilted his head to avoid it, but Cheng Yaodao's left ax swung from the other side, at an extremely tricky angle, and shouted: "Gouging eyes!"

Cui Zijian was shocked, he crossed his guns with both hands, and there was a loud bang, the frame was held, but the whole person was knocked off the horse with the gun.

Seeing this, Pei Xingyan hurriedly stepped forward and rescued Cui Zijian. The bandits clapped their hands and cheered excitedly when they saw the boss defeating the two opponents in a row.

Pei Xingyan's face was gloomy, and the horse lance swiped a few times, stabbing Cheng Yaojin to the left and right. Suddenly, the two weapons collided, and there was a loud bang, like a thunder, and the ears of the people nearby were all buzzing. Ming, can't help but burst into tongues.

Both Pei Xingyan and Cheng Yaojin's expressions changed drastically, and the mount under their crotch let out a mournful roar at the same time, and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

"The boy has great strength!" Cheng Yaojin blurted out.

"Fat Qiu, you're not bad either!" Pei Xingyan said coldly.

"Hey, try again with my axe!" Cheng Yaojin slashed out with an axe, another move to dig out his ears, then his eyes, and the last move to cut his nose.

Pei Xingyan was flustered by this strange and tricky move at first, but soon he found that the opponent only knew these three tricks when he came and went.

Seeing that he couldn't fight for a long time, Cheng Yaojin couldn't deal with the opponent with these three axes, so he jumped out of the circle and panted, "No more fights!"

Pei Xingyan smirked and said, "You say you won't fight if you don't want to fight? What do you think I am, Pei Xingyan?"

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "Brother Pei, we are all on our own, just discuss it for a while, why play it for real? To tell you the truth, my name is Cheng Yaojin, and I am an old friend with you, Mr. Gao. I came here specially this time. put their trust in him."
