The summer is really coming, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. In a paddy field on the outskirts of Changle City, Xindu County, Dou Jiande was tucking his trousers and trying hard to remove the weeds in the fields. His whole body was sweating like slurry, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

It was really shocking that the dignified King Changle actually went to work in the fields himself. Moreover, Dou Jiande was dressed at this time and was just like an old country farmer. If he didn't know him, who would know that this person was the famous King Changle King Dou Jiande?

Finally, Dou Jiande cleaned up all the weeds in the paddy field, then went up the ridge of the field, scooped up the water from the field with his hands, washed the mud on his feet, and then walked to the shade of the tree, took the water bag from his personal soldiers and drank the cow.

General Gao Yaxian had been waiting under the tree for a long time, and then he had the opportunity to report: "Xu Shiji and Lu Sheng tried to lead the army south, but were blocked by our people."

Dou Jiande sneered: "The news about these two guys is quite versatile, but it is not that easy to grab meat from me, Dou Jiande. By the way, Yu Wenhua and what is going on now, can you find out clearly?"

Gao Yaxian also smiled and said, "I have found out clearly. Li Mi and Yu Wenhua and have fought fiercely for more than ten days. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. However, Yu Wenhua and his losses were even greater, and the food supply was not enough. The generals under their command defected one after another, and they were almost alone. This is a great time for us to take action."

Dou Jiande nodded and said, "This is almost as expected by the king. How many people do Yu Wen and his subordinates still have?"

"It will not exceed 30,000, and they are all weak. After attacking Handan, they can't hide." Gao Yaxian said.

Dou Jiande couldn't help but frown. The 30,000 troops were much more than he expected. Moreover, the other party was huddled in the city. It was not easy to win it smoothly. It was a certain price. But if you don't take action at this time, when Yu Wenhua and his recovery came, you're afraid that this battle would be even more difficult. Moreover, Xu Shiji was still eyeing Zhaojun. This kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp. After a long time, he might cause trouble. It is inevitable that he will have more dreams.

"How to deploy Li Mi's troops?" Dou Jiande asked again quickly, and if he wanted to take over Yu Wenji, he had to be careful of Li Mi.

Gao Yaxian said a little gloatingly: "I heard that Li Mi was injured by a ravage and had already returned to Ji County for recuperation. However, Pei Renji was sent to guard Li Yangcang, Shan Xiongxin was guarding Fuyang County, Wang Bo was guarding Linshui County, and Meng Rang was guarding Cheng'an County. He presented the Pin style, which was probably to guard against Yu Culture and Going south."

When Dou Jiande heard this, he said happily: "Since the Wagang Army has taken the defensive stance, it seems that Li Mi is really injured. God is helping me. Let's go back to the city and immediately call the troops to go on the battle."

At this moment, Dou Jiande and Gao Yaxian returned to the city in a hurry and summoned a group of counselors and generals to discuss. As a result, everyone agreed to send troops. So Dou Jiande immediately summoned the troops.

On April 12, Dou Jiande gathered 60,000 troops, claiming to be 100,000 to the public. Then he sacrificed flags by the Zhangshui River and vowed to attack the ruthless thief Yu Wenji.

Originally, Dou Jiande himself was the Caotou King of the Anti-Sui Dynasty and never served as a minister of the Sui Dynasty for a day. Therefore, the reason for the attack on the lord and thief was not so reasonable. Fortunately, Ling Jing, the priest under Dou Jiande, was a well-educated man. He tried his best to write a manifesto to Dou Jiande. As soon as this gorgeous proclamation was released, the reason for Lao Dou to send troops became high.

Ling Jing's manifesto was written in Dou Jiande's tone. It is roughly translated as: Although Dou Jiande is not an official of the Sui Dynasty, he has been a commoner in the Sui Dynasty for decades and has experienced two generations of monarchs of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, I am quite affectionate about the Sui Dynasty. Now Yu Wen and the killing of the Sui Emperor are ruthless. They are the public enemy of the world and the enemy of Dou Jiande, so they must send troops to fight him.

After reading this passionate manifesto in public, Dou Jiande immediately rushed south and headed straight for Handan, ready to start working!

...

Gaoyang County, Hejian County, His Highness, who had just finished his vacation, was fully charged with his beautiful wife and concubine, and was now summoning the generals to a meeting in a hundred times spirit.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Just just received the news, King Changle sent troops to attack Yufang Hua."

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Dou Jiande has finally entered the game. This old fox is really stable. If General Xu and Xiao Lu hadn't pretended to go south to compete for credit, he might have sent troops."

Pei Xingyan's face was full of excitement. After several months of idleness, his whole body felt uncomfortable. Now he can finally move his muscles and bones. He smiled grinned: "Yu Wen and his command have 30,000 Xiaoguo Army, enough for Dou Jiande to drink a pot. Don't burn the old cat's beard. If you steal the chicken, you will lose the rice instead. Hehe!"

Du Ruhui and Wen Yanbo looked at each other, and there was a hint of excitement in their eyes. King Dou Jiande of Changle has now seriously restricted the space for Qi to develop southward. It seems that King Qi has made up his mind to settle this stumbling block this time. However, with the relationship between the covenant and his father-in-law, it is not possible to break up. Therefore, it is not easy to handle things appropriately, which is very considering wisdom and ability.

Gao Bufan lightly brushed the stubble on his chin, looking thoughtful, and everyone calmed down very consciously to avoid interrupting his thoughts.

…………

Let’s talk about Yu Wen and his escape into Handan City, exhausted and extremely depressed. The ambitions brought about by the victory at the beginning have been gone.

"Duke Ju, how many people do we have?" Yu Wenhuan asked in panic.

Pei Qiantong replied: "We still have more than 20,000 people!"

When Yu Wenji heard this, he felt even more heartbroken. He thought that when he left Jiangdu, he had a 100,000-strong army of Fruits. He had been to more than 70,000 in just a few months. Li Mi is really powerful. What should he do now? Don’t think about it if you take over the East, maybe you will lose your life.

Pei Yutong glanced at Yu Wenji, who was in a state of dismay, and comforted him: "The Prime Minister doesn't need to be depressed. Victory and defeat are common among military strategists. Although we have suffered a defeat, we still have more than 20,000 people, and Li Mi's losses are not small. It is said that Li Mi was also shot and injured. Now that life and death are unknown, we may not have no chance to win back."

When Yu Wenji heard this, he immediately regained some confidence and nodded, "What Duke Ju said is very true. We still have a chance to make a comeback. By the way, Chen Zhiluo and Zhang Tongren, why don't you see them?"

Chen Zhiluo and Zhang Tongren are both middle-level generals of the Xiaoguo Army.

Pei Qiantong sighed and said, "They all surrendered to Li Mi with their subordinates."

Yu Wenji was furious and said, "These two bastards, I usually treat them well, but now I have been taking advantage of the situation and betrayed me. I should kill me!"

Pei Qiantong Anwei said: "There is no way to do things, so the prime minister does not need to be angry about them. Moreover, everyone has run away, so I can't catch it back."

Yu Wenyu gritted his teeth and said, "If these two shameless traitors fall into my hands in the future, they will definitely teach them what life is worse than death."

Pei Qiantong nodded and said, "The Prime Minister is tired too. Let's go in and rest first. There are still many things to deal with tomorrow."

Yu Wenhua was so tired that his bones were almost disbanded. Hearing this, he said, "Well, then the Prime Minister will go in and rest for a while. Please ask Duke Ju to do the city defense. Do it well. This Prime Minister will not treat you badly."

A faint sarcasm flashed in Pei Qiantong's eyes, but he still expressed his loyalty generously, and Yu Wenhe left with a little peace of mind.

After appeaseing Yu Wenhua, Pei Qiantong inspected the city defense and finally came to a house in the city. A man in green robe stood in front of the window with his back facing Pei Qiantong. He had a very elegant temperament and was obviously a civil servant.

Pei Qiantong bowed respectfully and said, "Lord, Yu Wen and his temporary stability are coming."

The man nodded and said indifferently: "You have done a good job. Now the bait is ready, let's see how many big fish are taking the bait."

Pei Qiantong sneered: "Dou Jiande has taken the bait. Gao Changqing doesn't know if he will come. However, Li Mi is said to be injured and shouldn't come, so he will escape the disaster."

The man said indifferently: "Li Mi is a deceitful person and may not be injured. Maybe he deliberately emits the sound of wind to numb the enemy."
