Dou Jiande originally wanted to take Gao Bufan to his subordinates as his younger brother, and then marry his daughter Dou Xianniang, so he would not worry that Gao Bufan would not work hard for him. In this way, his daughter would be a lovely son-in-law and a loyal general. Why not do it if he beats two birds with one stone?

However, Lao Dou soon found that he had made the wrong plan. Gao Bufan was obviously not a thing in the pool, so how could Qianlong be willing to surrender?

Sure enough, Gao Bufan's official position became bigger and bigger, and finally broke away from Yang Guang's control and became the lord of Youzhou. He was full of talents, strong soldiers and horses, and stronger than himself. At this time, Dou Jiande had completely dispelled the idea of ​​taking Gao Bufan back. In addition, Gao Bufan married Changsun Wugui as his wife, and Lao Dou directly cut off the idea of ​​being Gao Bufan's cheap father-in-law.

Dou Jiande was able to become a hero in Hebei in history, obviously he would not be emotional because his daughter was in love with Gao Bufan. As the boss of a force, he involved too many people and interests. Compared with this, his daughter's "happiness" is not worth mentioning. Moreover, Dou Jiande originally had the idea of ​​feudal patriarchal system. This is different from Gao Bufan, a modern person. In his opinion, love is just a cloud. As for women, carefree and frugal clothes are the greatest happiness. As for love, it's useless!

As the saying goes: How can you allow others to sleep soundly next to the bed?

Youzhou is now the strategic rear of Dou Jiande's sphere of influence. If Gao Bufan is not solved, how can he be content with the world? Just as Yingzhou is the strategic rear of Youzhou, Gao Bufan wants to compete for the world and must settle Luo Yi first. This is the same truth. Therefore, Dou Jiande is very rational and has a clear idea. After learning that Gao Bufan sent Pei Xingyan to send troops to Hejian County, he also decisively sent Su Dingfang to compete for Hejian County.

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

Let’s talk about Pei Xingyan’s order to send troops to Hejian, and he went south all the way. The prefectures and counties he passed by took the initiative to offer the city to surrender. The people and gentry in some places even welcomed each other, bringing wine and food to reward the Youzhou army. However, some prefectures and counties that were ignorant of the praises launched resistance, such as Gaoyang County.

Gaoyang County is a special place. It has a palace of the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, called Gaoyang Palace, and is guarded by the palace supervisors stationed by the court. Therefore, compared with other places, the local officials in Gaoyang County are more loyal to the court. Therefore, Pei Xingyan ushered in the first tough battle after sending troops.

However, this also hit the mind of Pei Xingyan, a war madman. Since entering Hejian County, he was greeted with smiles everywhere. In addition to eliminating a few small thieves who occupied the mountain and became king, he had never even fought a decent battle. This kid's horse spear had long been hungry and thirsty. Moreover, Pei Xingyan had just arrived and had not made any achievements. He took on a relaxed "beautiful" as soon as he got started. He was also worried that others would say that he was getting ahead by nepotism, so he wanted to fight a few tough battles to show his strength.

So Pei Xingyan immediately launched a fierce attack on Gaoyang County. Ten days later, he finally broke through the city gate. The Youzhou army rushed in and occupied the entire city. Then he launched an attack on Gaoyang Palace. Within one day, he broke through three palace gates. However, the palace supervisor of Gaoyang Palace was also loyal and brave, and he actually burned himself to death in Wende Hall. One-third of the buildings in Gaoyang Palace were also burned and destroyed. It was a pity.

Shortly after Pei Xingyan took over Gaoyang County, a good news came from Youzhou. The Cui family of Boling agreed to his marriage with Cui Daoyun, and the soldiers under his command congratulated Pei Xingyan one after another.

Pei Xingyan laughed to the sky. Cui Daoyun's silly girl finally got the dowry. She was still Shanggu County and Boling County, which was great. However, when she thought of the bet with Changsun Wuji, Pei Xingyan felt a little annoyed!

At this moment, a scout hurriedly came to report: "General Pei, just received the news from the eyeliner in Hejian County. Su Dingfang, under Dou Jiande, led his army northward and was attacking Hejian County."

Pei Xingyan was surprised and happy when he heard this, and blurted out: "Good guy, the territorial snatcher is here, but it's just right. I've 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 is close to Xindu County and Pingyuan County, so Su Dingfang arrived first, but instead rushed to Pei Xingyan's front.

Cui Zisheng and Cui Zijian brothers couldn't help but reminded: "Su Dingfang is quite good at this son, and he is the most powerful general under Dou Jiande's command. General Pei must not take it lightly."

Pei Xingyan smiled grimly and said, "How fierce is it? Let him ask me first about Pei Xingyan's horse spear and send the order. A thousand people stay in Gaoyang. The remaining people and horses will follow me to the south to Hejian County. No mistakes must be made!"

With the order of Pei Xingyan, the Youzhou army continued to move south in a mighty manner. As soon as they captured Gaoyang County, everyone was at a high morale and recognized Pei Xingyan, the new general.

On this day, the Youzhou army walked near the Hutuo River and suddenly a gong sounded, and a group of people rushed out of the slanting ground, blocking the front army's way forward.

There are not many people in this group, probably only a few hundred people. They are all crooked and their weapons are mixed, just like a group of bandits.

"This...I opened this road, this tree...I planted it. If you want to follow...I will leave...I will buy money!" The bandit in the leader stuttered and finished the opening remark, then blocked the road and trembled, very funny.

Pei Xingyan was overjoyed. It turned out that they were really a group of thieves. But were they blind or were they long-lasting? Just a few hundred people came to block the road with a few fire sticks. Does this general's tens of thousands of Youzhou troops look so harmless?

"What's your name?" Pei Xingyan took a few steps forward, shaking the horse spear in his hand a little.

The bandit in the lead immediately frightened and took a few steps back, and said juicyly: "My name is Huntian Dao!"

"Ask your name, not your gangster number!"

"My name is Zhou Aniu!"

Pei Xingyan said with a funny look: "You are blind, you dare to rob me Pei Xingyan. Do you think you have a long life?"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Aniu collapsed his face and said with a sad face: "I don't want to do it either, but our boss asked me to come. If he doesn't come, he will twist my neck and stuff it into his butt."

Pei Xingyan said in surprise: "You boss actually has such skills, where is it now?"

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

Pei Xingyan looked around and almost burst into laughter. He saw a man with a big belly riding a red horse, and he was very proud. The big belly seemed to be in the same way as his mount. However, when Pei Xingyan saw the two Xuanhua axes on the back of the man, his face gradually became solemn.

The expressions of Cui Zijian and Cui Zisheng also changed slightly. The weight of these two big axes is not light, and they are at least forty or fifty pounds. It is difficult to lift them without any arm strength, but this man with a round belly looks very relaxed on his back.

"Who is here? My old Cheng's big axe won't kill the nameless general." Cheng Yaojin narrowed his eyes and said, "The old god is still talking."

Pei Xingyan raised his eyebrows, and this fat ball-like guy actually grabbed his line and said coldly: "Pei Xingyan under the head of Youzhou!"

"Hehe, it turns out that it's the little brat of Pei Renji's family. Come on, I, Cheng, try your skills." Cheng Yaojin stretched out two carrot-like fingers and hooked them very frivolously.

Pei Xingyan was furious and was about to step forward. Cui Zisheng had already made his debut: "General Pei, why use a knives to kill chickens? I will come down to meet him!" After that, he raised his gun and rushed forward.

Cheng Yaojin took the axe in his hand and grinned, "Grandma's axe is a bit heavy, can you hold it?"

Cui Zisheng raised his gun and stabbed him. Cheng Yaojin swung his giant axe, and with a loud bang, it actually shocked Cui Zisheng's spear in his hand and flew out with one blow. The latter's hands were completely lost, and he was so shocked that he quickly turned his head to escape.

"I'll meet you!" Cui Zijian hurriedly stepped forward to respond, and also stabbed him with a gun. However, he learned from his elder brother Cui Zisheng's lesson and did not fight Cheng Yaojin head-on, and fully utilized the flexibility and ingenuity of the spear.

"Hehe, I've learned the essence, but my grandfather has more than this kind of skills." Cheng Yaojin's left axe swung, and his right axe swept into Cui Zijian's ear, shouting: "Cleaning your ears!"

Cui Zijian hurriedly tilted his head and avoided it, but Cheng's left axe swung from the other side, with a very tricky angle and shouted: "Digging the eyes!"

Cui Zijian was shocked and shot a gun with both hands. With a loud bang, the frame was blocked, but the whole person was shocked and dropped from the horse with the gun.

Seeing this, Pei Xingyan hurriedly stepped forward and rescued Cui Zijian. When the bandits saw that the eldest son defeated the other two, they clapped their hands and cheered with excitement.

Pei Xingyan's face was gloomy. After a few strokes of the horse spear, Cheng Yaojin was so stupid that he was stuck on his left and right. Suddenly, the two weapons intersected, and a loud bang, as if it was a thunderous sound. Everyone nearby was shocked and their ears were buzzing, and they couldn't help but talk.

Pei Xingyan and Cheng Yaojin both changed their expressions. The mount under their crotch whirred sadly at the same time, and almost lost their hooves and lay down.

"Boy has such a lot of strength!" Cheng Yaojin blurted out.

"You are not bad at Fat Ball!" Pei Xingyan said coldly.

"Hehe, try taking me another axe!" Cheng Yaojin slashed out with an axe, and then used another move to cut his ears, then his eyes, and the last move to cut his nose.

Pei Xingyan was a little fussed by this strange trick at first, but soon he realized that the other party had only known these three tricks when they came and went, and he calmed down and became more and more comfortable as he fought.

Seeing that he could not fight for a long time, Cheng Yaojin couldn't handle the other party with these three tricks, he jumped out of the circle and gasped and said, "I won't fight anymore!"

Pei Xingyan smiled grimly and said, "If you say you don't fight, then don't fight? What is me, Pei Xingyan?"
