Chapter 252 Dou Jiande's stubbornness

As heavy snow came, time also entered December. In the howling cold wind, the soldiers of Longwei Mansion, Hebei suppressed the rebels, and the villages of Hebei County and the townsmen followed the orders of Jialan and launched an attack on Gaojipo, the gathering place of the traitors.

Su Yong, Su Dingfang and his son gathered on the battlefield. Su Yong's "big bet" at the time brought him rich returns. Not only did Su Dingfang become the brigade commander of the imperial imperial army, but his personal reputation in the local area also increased day by day. The increase in reputation brought many benefits to the Su family. For example, the Liu family in Jicheng, Kong family in Hengshui, Bai family in Nangong family, and many other Hebei families were willing to give more care to the Su family in all aspects, and intend to build the Su family into the largest tyrant in Xindu County. The rapid rise of the Su family attracted many seekers. In this era of war, in order to survive, the weak had to be sheltered from the strong, and the number of village groups led by the Su family soared to more than a thousand people in just a few months, becoming the largest village group in Xindu County.

Before, Feng Xiaoci suppressed the thieves and obstructed the crowd. Su Yong was one of them. He used the excuse of being seriously ill and was reluctant to take the village group to participate in the suppression of the thieves. There were many local tyrants like Su Yong, but no one expected that Feng Xiaoci would die on the battlefield to suppress the thieves. In this way, Zhang Jin said that even though the Qinghe thieves were targeted, the local tyrants such as Su Yong deliberately obstructed the rebellion, he was also in danger of being affected. So, in helplessness, although the weather was bad and the snow was flying, they still arrived as scheduled as possible.

Coming does not mean that they will fight bravely to fight the enemy. At present, the Hebei Rebel Army and the Hebei Aristocratic Family are consistent in many interests. Although the conflict between the two sides is getting worse and worse, they have not yet broken up. Both sides still need each other. The common enemy of both sides is the emperor and the Guanlong noble group, and the local governments and local officials who rule and enslave them. They are the imperial teams that came to Hebei to suppress them under the orders. Therefore, for the common interests, the Hebei Rebel Army and the Hebei Aristocratic Family are naturally shelved the conflicts and fought against the enemy.

Whether it was intentional or coincidental, Galan ordered Gao Tai, Su Dingfang and Su Yong to be the leader of the road, but he only walked sixty miles a day.

The atmosphere in Gaojipo was extremely tense. All the rebels started to move, some were ready to fight, some were ready to retreat, and some were hesitant and swaying.

Gao Shida, Dou Jiande, Wang Fubao and other rebel leaders gathered together and argued fiercely.

Some rebel leaders led by Gao Shida strongly advocated retreat, retreating to Pingyuan County and even Douzigang. In order to preserve their limited strength, they were determined not to fight to the death with the official army. However, a group of rebel leaders led by Dou Jiande and Wang Fubao strongly advocated fighting. They suggested that they unite with Hao Xiaode, Liu Heita of Pingyuan County, and Zhang Jinshu of Qinghe County, and Zhang Jinshu brothers and Zhang Jinshu of the official army to work hard on the Yongjiqu line. Just wait for the fighter to be found, they resolutely launched an attack.

Dou Jiande's reason is very good. Galan's request seems quite reasonable, but in fact he has ulterior motives. He clearly wants to alienate the Hebei rebel army and split the Hebei rebel army. If he agrees to Galan's request and allows him to annihilate the Qinghe rebel army, the Hebei rebel army will definitely turn into a mess and will eventually be defeated by each one.

Why did the Hebei rebel army defeat the official army and kill Feng Xiaoci? The only reason is that the Hebei rebel army works together and fight side by side. It was precisely because of this that Galan deliberately designed it and would rather abandon Zhang Jin than fight, but ran to fight Gaojipo with a fierce momentum. There was only one purpose, which was to force Gaojipo rebel army to retreat, to isolate the Qinghe rebel army, and finally completely destroy the agreement of all the rebel army in Hebei to communicate with each other and help each other. Once the Gaojipo rebel army retreated and openly abandoned the Qinghe rebel army, it would inevitably have an irreversible impact on other rebel armies in Hebei. Everyone would follow him and abandon the Qinghe rebel army. In this way, the rebel army lost the most basic trust and fought each other and became a mess.

"Don't fall into Jia Lan's trick." Dou Jiande warned seriously, "He is a wolf, a cruel and cunning evil wolf. Think about Yang Xuangan. Who would have expected that with Yang Xuangan's strength, he would rebel in less than two months with the emperor's strength, he would have rebelled in less than two months? Don't say that Yang Xuangan himself would not have thought of this, did you brothers think of it? Why? Yang Xuangan was defeated quickly, and he was defeated by Jia Lan. If it weren't for the storm that caused Yang Xuangan to rebel in Hebei, why would Yang Xuangan have rushed to cause trouble and lost all the opportunities?"

Gao Shida's face was gloomy and said coldly, "It is precisely because of Jia Lan's cunning that he cannot be regarded as the second Feng Xiaoci, and he cannot be despised. Especially don't think that if you have strong wings and strong strength, you can fight with this evil wolf that came from the northwest. In addition, I would like to remind you that when Feng Xiaoci attacked Zhang Jincheng, we did help him, but when Jia Lan attacked Gao Jipo, will Zhang Jincheng help us?"

Gao Shida's eyes slowly swept across the faces of Dou Jiande, Wang Fubao and others, and asked sternly, "Can you tell me with certainty that Zhang Jin said he would be obliged to help us at all costs?"

The tent was silent. The Qinghe Rebel Army and Gaojibo Rebel Army had a deep hatred. Among them, Sun Anzu, the earliest rebel leader in Gaojibo, died at the hands of Zhang Jincheng. The Hebei Rebel Army killed each other and annexed each other, starting from Zhang Jincheng's beheading Sun Anzu. This spring, Hao Xiaode and Liu Heita from Pingyuan County killed Du Yanbing and Wang Run and annexed their teams. Ge Qian, Sun Xuanya, Gao Kaidao and others from Douzigang

After Liu Badao's death, he divided his army overnight. While the Hebei rebel army became increasingly powerful, the cruel killing and annexation between the rebel army became more and more intense. In this case, perhaps Dou Jiande and Wang Fubao could live up to the past and repay their grievances with kindness, but Zhang Jin said that he could do it? If Zhang Jin said that he would repay his grievances with grievances, he would not only not lend a helping hand, but instead took the blame from behind. Who would Gao Jibo's brothers cry to?

Gao Shida pointed to Dou Jiande, "Don't forget that Sun Anzu is your brother, he died at Zhang Jincheng's hands. You may be able to forget this hatred, but Sun Anzu is not just you, but under Gao Jipo, under your tent, and even under Jialan's tent, there are Sun Anzu's brothers everywhere. When Feng Xiaoci attacked Zhang Jincheng, you helped out of morality, and these people may still be able to bear it, but when Jialan's 5,000-collar army attacked Gao Jipo, everyone knew that Jialan was deliberately trying to force us to isolate Zhang Jincheng, if you sacrificed the lives of your own brothers to help Zhang Jincheng, do you know the consequences?"

Dou Jiande was blushed and speechless.

Wang Fubao gently patted Dou Jiande's arm and signaled him to calm down. You promise to be righteous and take the overall situation into consideration. That's your business, but if everyone's interests are sacrificed, it's a different matter. Gao Shida has actually said nothing. If you want to fight, I will definitely not fight. Since Jialan has already proposed concessions to Cao Dan and expressed his kindness, Gao Jibo should accept Jialan's kindness and strive to protect himself, rather than tearing apart with Jialan and fighting to the death. To be honest, if you really want to fight, there are probably very few people who support Dou Jiande and fight with him among all the heroes of Gao Jibo. Do you think everyone is as naive and stubborn as you?

Gao Shida blocked Dou Jiande's mouth, then turned his eyes to the others, "Jalan asked Gao Tai and Su's father and son to be the leader, and he had shown enough sincerity. As long as we voluntarily evacuate Qinghe County, the Longwei Mansion will inevitably change the direction of attack and encircle Zhang Jincheng. According to the three gentlemen Liu Xuan, Kong Yingda and Gavinda's guess, the Dongdu will soon launch the third Eastern Expedition. Not only Yuwen Shu, Lai Hu'er and others are going north to Liaodong, but Jialan and Longwei Mansion will also go. This trip will take more than half a year, which is enough for us to grow and grow."

Keep the green mountains there, and you don’t have to worry about the lack of firewood. These words from Gao Shida talked about the hearts of the heroes of Gaojipo. At this critical moment, each family cleaned up the snow in front of his own doors, and didn’t care about the frost on others.

Overnight, Gaojibo's rebel army retreated to the Zhangnan area.

The main force of the Galan Collar rushed forward. When he headed west, Buyi led the elite troops of the six regiments of Longwei Mansion, crossed Yongji Canal from the direction of Liting, and killed Ande City, the capital of Pingyuan County, and made a stance to surround Gaojibo Rebel Army in Zhangnan and the front line of the long river. He also tried to block the Douzigang Rebel Army south of Ande City to cut off the intention of the two rebel army to meet.

The leader of the Pingyuan Rebel Army, Hao Xiaode and Liu Heita, saw the murderous cavalry in the northwest, roaring forward, and did not dare to fight. In addition to sending a side army to the north to guide the Gaojibo Rebel Army, their main force hurriedly retreated into Bohai County, met with the Douzigang Rebel Army, and were ready for battle.

Dou Jiande no longer dared to stick to his own opinion. Jialan's sword was already in his hand, and his soldiers were also full of morale. On the other hand, people were panic and their army was disintegrating. At this time, fighting with the official army was purely seeking death.

Dou Jiande quickly changed his position, and the Gaojibo rebel army joined forces. The retreat speed suddenly accelerated, but the direction of the evacuation was to go along the south bank of Yongji Canal to the northeast of Bohai County, and continued to maintain an appropriate distance from Gaoyang Town in Hejian County. In this way, the Gaojibo rebel army could threaten the emperor and the palace to the north, and to the south, the Douzigang rebel army formed a cross-bone attack on the capital of Bohai County and its central counties and towns. This shows that the Gaojibo rebel army has always maintained a high degree of vigilance and always controlled a certain initiative to avoid being hit by Galan's trick.

However, Jialan kept his promise and did not continue to attack Gaojipo and Douzigang Rebels, but suddenly changed its formation. The main force crossed the river from Liting and killed the gathering place of Qinghe Rebels, the Qinghe Rebels, the gathering place of Qinghe Rebels, in the Qinghe Rebels. He Buyi led six elite troops to the south of Ande City, galloping day and night along the north bank of the Dahe River, occupying all the Dahe Jinkou in the Qinghe territory, and cut off the road for Qinghe Rebels to cross the Dahe River from the Gaotang and Boping lines to the south of the Dahe River to withdraw Qi County.

On the sixth day of the 12th month, the commander of Wuyang County Yuan Baozang, the commander of Guixiang Wei Deshen, the chief clerk of Henei County Tang Yi, the recorder of Huang Junhan, the commander of Wei County Chai Shao, Wei Zheng, and the commander of Liyang Hebawei, each led his troops and set off a line in Zhenguantao, Tangyi and Liaocheng, the border county between Wuyang County and Qinghe County, and thus completed the encirclement of the rebel army of Qinghe County.
