At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 92
Sun Anzu raised his foot and kicked down a short tree next to him, and said angrily, "Brother Dou, I really wanted to rush up just now, lift that stupid king from the dragon chair on the royal chariot and throw shit out, this bastard works all day long. What is the use of such a dog emperor who only thinks about Wei Jia Hai Nei, surrendering to the barbarians, and doesn't care about the life and death of the people at all!"

Compared with a few months ago, Dou Jiande's forehead was obviously more wrinkled, and he looked more like a poor old farmer. In the bleak cold wind, his eyes seemed to contain hot tears, and he sighed: "If you throw him to death What's the use of it? It's just that someone surnamed Yang will be the emperor, this world is still the world of the Sui Dynasty."

Sun Anzu waved his fist in the casserole and said: "Then overthrow the country of the Sui Dynasty. It is said in the book that the country will take turns and come to my house next year. During this time, my brother has pulled thousands of people in Gaojibo. As long as you are willing to join, Brother Dou, we will regard you as the master and follow you to fight for the country. With your knowledge and talents, Brother Dou, you will definitely make a big difference. When our strength is strong enough, we will take down the county seat and capture it. Pan Rui and Yang Song, these two dog officials, avenged Big Brother Dou's family and fellow villagers."

When Dou Jiande heard this, his tear-filled eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said fiercely, "Pan Rui and Yang Song are two thieves, if you don't avenge this revenge, I, Dou Jiande, swear not to be human."

After speaking, he picked up the small tree that Sun Anzu kicked down just now, broke it into two with all his strength, and swore to the cold wind: "Even if I, Dou Jiande, cannot overthrow the Great Sui Dynasty in my life, I will break it to pieces. The sky is dead, and the yellow sky will stand, and the year is Jiazi, and the world will be blessed!"

Sun Anzu didn't even know a single Chinese character, so naturally he didn't know the slogan of the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but these few sentences were refreshing enough, and he couldn't help but shouted with enthusiasm: "Yes, the heaven is dead, and the yellow sky should stand. Damn Da Sui, go to hell!"

Dou Jiande threw away the two branches, put on the bamboo hat again, and strode southward. Obviously, the old Dou had made up his mind to raise the banner against the Sui Dynasty.Sun Anzu strode after her and asked, "Brother Dou, why don't I send a few brothers to continue to look for Xianniang in the direction of Liaodong? My niece doesn't look like a doomed person, she should be alive!"

A trace of pain flashed in Dou Jiande's eyes, he shook his head and said, "We found no trace of Xianniang all the way from Shu County to Zhuojun, I'm afraid that something bad happened to this girl, now Yang Guang has come to Zhuojun in person, from Zhuojun to the east to Liucheng , Sui soldiers are everywhere, there is no need to send brothers to take risks, let them all go back, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, whether to die or live depends on the fate of this girl."

It turned out that a month ago Dou Jiande was additionally elected by the county as the commander of the militia and served as the commander of 200 people. He led the [-] militiamen from Doujiazhuang to the north to join the war in Liaodong. The insider broke out, and after learning about it, Pan Rui, the county magistrate, and Yang Song, the county magistrate, sent three classes of yamen servants to Doujiazhuang to arrest Dou Jiande's family members.

Seeing that the incident was exposed, the villagers of Doujiazhuang naturally rose up to resist, but Dou Jiande had already taken away all the young men in the village, and the rest were mostly old and weak women, who were the opponents of the third class of yamen servants, and the last ones died Fleeing away, Dou Jiande's whole family except Dou Xianniang escaped, and the rest were all killed, almost exterminating the family, not an ordinary tragedy!
Dou Xianniang recovered her life, endured the grief of losing her family and friends and headed north, trying to catch up with her father, Dou Jiande, and told him to run for his life so as not to fall into the hands of officers and soldiers. If she hadn't just been rescued by Gao Bufan, she might have become the wife of the horse thieves.

When the story of Dou's family village being destroyed by officers and soldiers spread, Sun Anzu also got the news, and hurriedly led people north to chase Dou Jiande, and finally caught up with Dou Jiande near Yuyang County. After the latter learned the news that his family had been killed Suddenly, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, they killed the Sui army officer who was guarding them that night, and fled overnight with 200 people.

When Dou Jiande fled back to the vicinity of Qinghe County with his people, he learned that his daughter Dou Xianniang was suspected to be still alive. Someone saw her go to the north, so he and Sun Anzu turned back to search, but unfortunately there was no Dou in Zhuojun along the way. The trace of the thread girl.

At this time, Dou Jiande was almost desperate, but at this time Yang Guang came to Zhuojun again. Sui soldiers were everywhere, and the number of checkpoints at various intersections also increased significantly.

Let's talk about Gao Bufan and others, after watching Yang Guang's imperial chariot enter Jixian City, they also dispersed with the people and returned to their residences.After staying for another three days, it was already late October and the weather was getting colder. At this time, I finally received a notice from the Transportation Supervision Department that the horse delivery procedures could begin.

Fortunately, Li Yuan did not intentionally make things difficult this time, and sent someone to inspect and accept the [-] horses at Feiying Racecourse. Gao Bufan also successfully got the official document receipt. As long as he returns to the local government to report and stamp, he will be able to receive the money he deserves Yes, this money is really not easy to earn.

After the war horses were successfully delivered, Gao Bufan also let go of his heart. As for the one hundred mares that Li Mao had lost at the beginning, Gao Bufan sold them all with the help of Lu Sanlang, earning 1000 taels of gold. It was settled, and all of them were gold ingots, very proud, Gao Bufan only found out later that the buyer was actually Li Mao!
Gao Bufan reckoned that Li Mao was about to go mad with anger, a hundred mares came back to him after a round, and the money he spent was nearly three times the purchase price of the imperial court. There was no other way, he had to collect enough [-] war horses to hand over to the imperial court, so he had to knock out his front teeth and swallow them in his mouth. In this way, the ties between the two families might become even deeper.

Of course, Gao Bufan didn't care, the Li family in Longxi was far away in the sky, so he didn't need to look at their faces at all, so naturally he didn't ask for it!

On the morning of October 25th, Cui Hu found Gao Bufan, and asked with a relaxed face, "Now that the war horses have been delivered, when is Changqing going to leave for Xing County?"

Gao Bufan shook his head and said: "I still have some things to do, I'm afraid I can't leave for the time being."

"Master Gao is waiting for Miss Dou?" Cui Hu asked.

Gao Bufan nodded calmly, and Cui Hu's eyes flashed, and he joked: "It turns out that Changqing is still a passionate seed, and a hero will be sad after all!"

Gao Bufan laughed and said: "Brother Cui has thought about it a lot. As the saying goes, it is a matter of being entrusted by others and being loyal to others. Since I have saved Miss Dou, there must be a end. Don't say anything else, just ask for peace of mind."

Cui Hu's eyes showed approval. This son is affectionate, righteous and responsible. He is indeed worthy of deep friendship. He smiled and said, "Since Changqing doesn't plan to return to the south for the time being, I have a proposal. I don't know if Changqing is interested?"

"Oh, Brother Cui, let's hear it!" Gao Bufan said hastily.

Cui Hu was dumbfounded, and asked with a smile, "Which horse do you think is the best, Chang Qing?"

Gao Bufan frowned and said: "It's hard to say. War horses from various places have their advantages. For example, the horses in the Western Regions are tall and drought-tolerant. The requirements for horses are not high, and they are more suitable for large-scale breeding. If you really want to distinguish between high and low, I think Arabian horses should be the strongest!"

Cui Hu was stunned and said, "What kind of horse is an Arabian horse?"

"Cough...the horses from the Persian Dashi area!" Gao Bufan explained.

Cui Hu came to a sudden, and said with a smile: "Changqing is really well-informed. In fact, the horses of the Khitan people are not bad, and they are not much better than the Turkic horses. Some of our Cui's stallions are from Khitan. The war horses will be delivered to Zhuo County, so I plan to go to Liucheng County to buy some stallions from the Khitan people and go back. If Chang Qing is interested, why not go with me, and just look for Miss Dou and your servant on the way, maybe you can meet them! "

Gao Bufan couldn't help being moved when he heard the words, it happened that the Flying Eagle Racecourse was planning to expand its breeding next year, and it would be good to get some Khitan stallions back. It would be even better if they could breed excellent breeds. It’s better to follow orders, but the Khitans are willing to sell us stallions?”

Cui Hu laughed and said: "The Khitan people are poorer than the Turkic people. As long as you give them enough salt, enough iron pots and cloth, the men there can even sell you their wives and daughters. Don't worry, I have met the Khitan people more than once. The tribes traded without any issues."

Gao Bufan sweated, nodded and said: "Then I will go to Liucheng with Brother Cui, when will we leave?"

"It's not too late. Before it snows yet, let's go and come back quickly. When it snows, the ghostly place will be terribly cold. If the road is blocked by heavy snow, it will be even more troublesome, so we will set off tomorrow." Cui Hu said.

Gao Bufan nodded and said: "Brother Cui is familiar with driving lightly, the old horse knows the way, so you can do it."

Cui Hu smiled and said: "Changqing is straightforward, well, then I will do my part."
