Lu Sheng's showing off behavior was only a few minutes long, but the shock to Dou Jun was much greater than expected. From Dou Jiande to ordinary soldiers, his heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

What is a gap?

This is the gap!

This feeling is like a bronze fight against the Five Slags. Suddenly, I met a god-level master. Although the other party did not hit you, the light of the weapon had already scared you to death.

Of course, such an analogy may be a bit exaggerated, but Dou Jun was shocked at this moment, and his originally high morale dropped by a few percent in an instant.

At this moment, Dou Jiande was both shocked and angry, and a little helpless. Although he expected that Youzhou was very rich, he did not expect that Gao Changqing was so rich that he could just take out his hands and was a light cavalry with armor. It is said that this kid also had an iron cavalry with armor under his command.

At this time, even a strong-willed hero like Dou Jiande could inevitably feel a sense of frustration.

Gao Changqing, a boy from the Northern Qi royal family, was supported by aristocratic families like the seven surnames of Youyan and the Cui family in Qinghe. He wanted money, food, and equipment. Dou Jiande was ambitious to march north, but then he suddenly felt that he was as ridiculous as a little brat waving a feces fork in front of Gao Bufan!

A gust of cold wind blew, Dou Jiande shivered and was shocked from his depression. At the same time, he realized that his condition was very bad. He hurriedly threw away his negative emotions in his heart, his eyes regained their firmness, and shouted loudly: "Tell me the order and set up camp on the spot!"

Dou Jiande originally wanted to launch the first wave of attacks in one go, but at this moment the morale of the three armies was shocked and he had to set up camp first to slow down, otherwise the possibility of failure in the first battle was very high.

Ling Jing is the chief strategist under Dou Jiande, and at this time he couldn't help but say to Song Zhengben: "The rumors that Gao Changqing has descended to earth. Now it seems that he should not be underestimated. A small action seriously hits our morale. You can't accept it!"

Song Zhengben sighed and said, "The reason is that our strength is far inferior to the Youzhou army. If we can live in peace with Youzhou for the time being, I suggest that the general should seek peace and wait until he has enough strength to build Youzhou."

Ling Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This is probably difficult. The general is obviously determined to win this time, and Gao Changqing is not easy to use. There is no considerable benefit, so it is impossible to agree to seek peace."

Song Zhengben nodded deeply and said, "That's true. What you can't get on the battlefield cannot be obtained at the negotiating table. Hejian County is the bottom line of the general, and Gao Changqing's appetite is probably more than Hejian County. If the negotiations are not reached now, he can only decide the outcome on the battlefield."

…………

The early morning of early winter is cold, and the wilderness is filled with fog like light smoke. The winter wheat in the fields is nearly a foot tall, a pleasing green field.

In the winter sunshine, several flying eagles hovered and soared in the blue sky. An army was moving slowly in the fields, in an orderly manner. Everyone was careful to prevent the livestock in the team from trampling on or stealing the green seedlings on the roadside.

The Youzhou Army has strict military discipline and clearly stipulates that trampling and destroying green seedlings is prohibited except in special circumstances. If the green seedlings are destroyed, the responsible person will be punished according to the size of the damage. The highest punishment is beheading, so the Youzhou Army, from generals to ordinary soldiers, dare not violate it.

The north wind is swaying, and there is a "high"-shaped flag in the marching team. The flag under the commander's flag is like a forest and a sword is like a sea. A young man in military uniform rides on a big green horse with broad eyebrows and eyes, heroic, sunny and calm temperament, and is the chief manager of Youzhou - Gao Changqing.

At this time, a fast horse rushed up from behind the team, and the soldiers made way for the first time they saw it.

The fast horse was obviously a messenger who came from Youzhou Prefecture, because his back was wearing a small purple triangle flag representing Youzhou Prefecture, and Gao Bufan also had his own personal flag, a three-color red, yellow and blue flag, representing the highest power of Youzhou.

At this time, the messenger had already arrived in front of Gao Bufan's horse, turned over and took off the horse and performed a one-salute, and said loudly: "Report to the General Manager, the letter from Youzhou Prefecture, Liu Wuzhou, the general of Yingyanglang of Mayi County, killed the prefect of Mayi County, Wang Rengong, and claimed to be the prefect, and officially raised the flag to rebel against the Sui Dynasty!"

Gao Bufan nodded and said, "I understand."

The messenger did not stop and immediately got on his horse and left.

Since Gao Bufan, the lord of Youzhou, personally led his army south, Youzhou Prefecture is now hosted by Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui. As long as they think it is important information, they will send messengers to notify Gao Bufan in time.

Mayi County is the area of ​​Shuozhou, Shanxi. It is not far from Youzhou, but not close, and is also separated by a Taihang Mountains. In the short term, it has little interest to Youzhou. However, the impact of Liu Wuzhou killing Wang Rengong to rebel will not be small, and it is not a small matter. Therefore, after Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui learned about it, they immediately sent someone to notify Gao Bufan.

"Wang Rengong actually died at the hands of Liu Wuzhou, what a pity!" Gao Bufan shook his head and ordered the army to continue moving forward.

Liu Wuzhou is a very utilitarian and is a typical egoist. He killed the prefect Wang Rengong and became independent. Gao Bufan was not surprised. However, Mayi County is located in the north of Taiyuan County, and was controlled by Li Yuan, the Jinyang left-behind governor. Next, it depends on how Li Yuan acts.

Li Yuan kept keeping his strength and endured it until now, and he had no trouble. This determination is admirable, but someone in Mayi County under his rule has rebelled. If he wants to continue keeping his strength and keeping his strength, he has to send troops to suppress Liu Wuzhou, otherwise Yang Guang would not spare him. However, Gao Bufan felt that Li Yuan might take the opportunity to rebel even more.

Back to the point, Gao Bufan continued to lead his army south. Two days later, he finally arrived at Qilijing. The mighty military appearance really shocked Dou Jun again.

Early the next morning, Gao Bufan rode his horse alone to the Dou Jun camp, bowed to the Dou Jun soldiers guarding the camp gate and smiled: "I am Gao Changqing of the lower Youzhou, please come out and see you General Dou!"

The Dou soldiers were shocked. The young man in front of him with broad eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and gentle smile turned out to be the famous Youzhou general manager Gao Changqing?

"Master Gao wait, then report it to you!" Although the soldier guarding the camp gate was skeptical, he still bowed respectfully and then flew in quickly.

A moment later, the door of Dou Junying opened, and a cavalry walked out from behind the gate, giving birth to a lion's nose and mouth. It was Dou Jiande.

When Dou Jiande saw that Gao Bufan was really riding alone, he also left his personal soldiers and rode his horse alone to Gao Bufan. The two of them had a bit complicated eyes.

"General Dou, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your style is better than the past, so you can be happy!" Gao Bufan said with a smile on his fist.

Dou Jiande snorted coldly and said, "Gao Changqing, don't talk about these useless things. Just talk directly if you have something to do. If you want to fight, you will fight, and there is no need to talk nonsense!"

The day before yesterday, he was attacked by the three thousand Youzhou beast-patterned light cavalry, and today he was flashed by the Youzhou army, which was in full swing. Dou Jiande was in great mood at this moment, so he spoke with gunpowder at the moment.

Gao Bufan looked calm and asked sincerely: "Can you be here?"

Dou Jiande immediately became alert: "What are you looking for a stitch? Don't forget that you have already gotten married, don't think about playing a stitch again."

"It's true that the stitch is your daughter, but it's also my woman!"

Dou Jiande was furious and said, "Fart, Gao Changqing, you still have the face to say, you... don't even think about dreaming in the daytime!"

Gao Bufan sighed and said, "General Dou, is there really no room for this matter to rotate?"

A trace of invisible wisdom flashed in Dou Jiande's eyes, and he said with a slow expression: "Gao Changqing, if you really feel sorry for Xian Niang, you will immediately lead your troops back to Zhuo County and no longer send one soldiers to the south. I might consider your marriage with Xian Niang."

Dou Jiande was originally ambitious and was preparing to annex Youzhou, but after seeing the powerful lineup of the Youzhou army with his own eyes, his confidence was obviously a little shaken. Now he just wants to take Hejian County into his pocket and everything will be fine. As for Youzhou, I dare not think about it for the time being.

Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "This is impossible. Even if I agree, the soldiers under my command will not agree. I believe that General Dou's power is also very clear."

Dou Jiande's face darkened and he said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense? Let's see the truth under our hands!" After that, he turned his horse's head and left angrily.

Gao Bufan frowned. Since he was not optimistic, there was nothing to talk about. He had to fight before he could talk. He defeated the stubborn old man first. It would obviously be easier to talk about him later.

So, Gao Bufan turned his horse head back to the camp and shouted sternly at Pei Xingyan and other generals: "Let's array and go to battle!"

Pei Xingyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was worried that Gao Bufan would be emotional, but he compromised and made concessions to Dou Jiande for the sake of Dou Xianniang's face. Fortunately, Changqing was still rational and did not do so. Although even if Changqing made concessions, no one would say anything, it would undoubtedly damage his prestige.
