Chapter 128: Qiao Er and Fang Xiaoer
Chapter 128 Qiao Er and Fang Xiaoer-
Qiao Er's white tent and white robe ran on a horse and ran on a black cloak in the field dotted with beautiful flowers, dancing wildly in the wind, revealing two horizontal knives behind him from time to time.
~
Behind him, Fang Xiaoer was wearing a black robe, with long hair scattered, and her body was slimming up and down with her sprinting horses. She made loud shouts from time to time, and the horse whip in her hand was even "slap" in the air. A face that was still a little childish was full of anxiety and anxiety.
After returning to Hebei as he wished, he was welcomed like a hero as he imagined, but soon, the attitude of the rebel leaders such as Gao Shida and Dou Jiande to them changed. Gao Shida imprisoned Xie Qing and a few brothers who came back with him. Dou Jiande was still considering a bit of brotherhood and confined Qiao Er and Fang Xiaoer and others in the old camp, and placed them under his own "protection". Gao Shida was very dissatisfied with Dou Jiande's "protection". He even had a fierce quarrel with Dou Jiande. Whether it was Xie Qing or Qiao Er, he knew the reason. Even Fang Xiaoer, who was young and troubled, vaguely guessed the reason, but he could not speak out.
No one complains, they can only blame their bad life. Imagine that Hebei was arrested and exiled to the western border to guard the border. How likely is it to survive? Even if they have made meritorious service on the frontier and survived, how likely is it to go home? Now they have not only returned home smoothly, but they have also jumped into the imperial imprisonment. One foot has entered the career of officialdom. The fate of life has changed drastically. But what is incredible is that they actually gave up the past that they didn't even dare to dream about in their dreams and were already obtained. Who would believe it? Since everyone doesn't believe it, then we have to think about the reason for their return. If we speculate on their motives with malicious intentions, it is very simple. They betrayed the rebel army and sold themselves to seek honor. The purpose of this return is to be an "inner"" to "deception and betray the rebel army" to cooperate with the people of the northwest to suppress the rebel army.
It doesn't matter if there is no evidence." As long as the people in power have doubts and no longer trust them, their bad luck will come.
In today's complex situation in the empire, things are natural and incredible. This is not surprising that the Hebei people who miss their hometown day and night, nor the leaders of the Hebei rebel army. Everyone must survive. Once survival is threatened, loyalty and trust will become luxury. It is not surprising that brothers and brothers will meet each other and turn against each other and become enemies.
Qiao Er and Fang Xiaoer and others were trapped in the old camp, and they also shook their beliefs. But their love for their homes exceeded everything. Even if they died, they would die in this land where they gave birth to themselves.
The leaders of the rebel army did not trust them because interests were paramount, while the brothers in the rebel army who had shared life and death with them trusted them as always and used all opportunities to convey messages to them. Because of this, they knew that Longwei had arrived in Baigou and Pingyuan County, and were forced to attack the Douzigang Rebel Alliance under the situation.
In the eyes of Hebei people, "This is a battle without any suspense, but Qiao Er and Fang Xiaoer once witnessed the bravery of Galan in Tianmashu." They once witnessed the fierceness of the Northwest people in Ziyuntian, and experienced a bloody battle in Bodhi Temple. They knew the strength of Long Weitong and the force of the rebel army. If they faced a head-on battle, it was a battle that was evenly matched. But the problem is that no rebel army in Hebei would use its limited strength to fight to the death with the people in the Northwest, and would not fight with the people in the Northwest with the determination to fight with their lives. However, the people in the Northwest have no way out. "It is either dead or alive, and they can only sacrifice their lives and go forward without moving forward, so the result of the fierce battle is very likely to be a miracle for the people in the Northwest.
Qiao Er, Fang Xiaoer and others were looking forward to the appearance of miracles. In the arduous living environment of Xitu, Galan once led them to create miracles one after another. Today, "In Hebei, they believe that Galan and the people in the northwest can create miracles as well. Only when Galan created miracles and reversed the situation in Hebei can their destiny change again.
They were looking forward to "even praying," and suddenly they received a letter from Dou Jiande. Dou Jiande asked them to rush to the camp of rebels stationed on the bank of Baigou as quickly as possible.
Qiao Er remained silent all the time, especially after "confinement." After knowing that Xie Qing and others were imprisoned by Gao Shida, Fang Xiaoer was muttering Gao Tai in his ear, and when Ximen Chen and others were in Douzigang, he became more and more sad and returned to his sickly "weakness."
Fang Xiaoer's short life is wonderful, and she continues to experience drastic changes. This "drastic change." made him grow rapidly, and his mind continues to mature, which has long surpassed his physiological age.
Along the way, he wanted to talk to Qiao Er several times and wanted to tell his guess, but in the end he held back. Qiao Er's silence told him one thing: no matter whether the upcoming changes are beneficial to them, their survival in the rebel army will be difficult. A rebel soldier who does not gain the trust of the leader will never be able to survive safely.
Changes must be made, whether it is myself or Qiao Er, or those brothers who have returned from the northwest, must make a difficult choice, whether to live for faith, for ideals, for the loyalty of the blood Lin Li, who was broken by the ruthless reality, or for the interests of his own.
Fang Xiaoer was undulating on the horse's back, her long hair was blowing in the wind, her sweat kept flowing, her heart wafted violently, and her thoughts were like a small boat in the ocean, struggling in the surging waves. Gradually, he saw a little light in the darkness and fog. The light guided his direction, but it was hazy and crisp, and it was hard to find it.
The Dou family in Qinghe is a third-rate family in Hebei.
The history of Dou family can be traced to Empress Dowager Dou in the early Western Han Dynasty. Empress Dowager Dou was the empress of Emperor Wen of Han, the mother of Emperor Jing of Han, and the grandmother of Emperor Wu of Han. The rule of Wenjing and the rise of Emperor Wu of Han created the reputation of Empress Dowager Dou. Empress Dowager Dou was a native of Guanjin in the east of Hengshui, Hebei, and the Dou family since her were extremely honorable royal relatives in the east and west Han dynasties. The Dou family thus formed three major counties: Hebei (Qinghe), Henan (Luoyang) and Guanzhong (Chang'an). Since the Han Dynasty, the Dou family has declined, but like the Liu family in the great Han Dynasty, it has been passed down from generation to generation with its classics and wealth. Although there are no famous figures in the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it is one of the ancient families in Central China.
There are also Dou family among the nobles of Guanlong Lu, but this Dou family originated from the Xianbei great surname Chun Douling. When the Xianbei was in the Han Dynasty, the Chun Douling family was changed to Dou family. The Dou family of the Lu family has no relationship with the Dou family of the Han family.
Dou Jiande came from the Dou family of Qinghe. His life experiences were very similar to Liu Badao. They were both local people in Hebei. Because they had no future in their career, they turned to seek wealth, make friends with heroes in the world, and consolidated their local power. Once the time came, they resolutely raised the flag and fought for the great cause of dominating the world. Dou Jiande was known for his "promising righteousness and being kind and generous." He was known as "Changle Gong"", so his army was called Changle Army.
The Changle Army's camp is now stationed on the bank of Baigou. The place across the canal is Changhe County in Pingyuan County. The fleet of the Imperial Inspection Mission is located several miles downstream. Dou Jiande stationed the army here, "eying it covetously. Not only did he openly contempt and provoke the inspection mission, but he also formed a deterrent to the plain battlefield and effectively supported the Douzigang Rebel Alliance on the plain battlefield.
Qiao Er and Fang Xiaoer rushed to the outside of the gate. Dou Jiande sent someone to pick him up. The two of them strode and hurried into the military tent.
Outside the tent was a burly man in his thirties, with a long white robe and a steady and strong spirit. He was Wang Fubao, the deputy commander of the Changle Army, who came from the Wang family of Qinghe. The Wang family of Qinghe belonged to the last family in Hebei, and Wang Fubao was a concubine, so he was a local tyrant. This man met Dou Jiande since childhood, and he became a Jinlan, and was one of Dou Jiande's most trusted brothers.
Qiao Er is similar to his age. "The reason why he was able to make friends with Dou Jiande, Wang Fubao, Sun Anzu and others back then was because he was a private salt thief who had been walking on the Hebei waterway for a long time. He had a group of brothers under his command, and the two sides could get greater benefits. After Dou Jiande raised the flag, Qiao Er ran around the waterway to raise military funds for the rebel army. At that time, there were two largest rebel troops in Qinghe County, one was Gao Shida and Dou Jiande. They were stationed in Gaojipo north of Baigou, and the other was Zhang Jinshu brothers "moving south of Baigou. The two sides had conflicts in interests, and Qiao Er was "attacked" and sold him to the official army. It was Zhang Jinshen who was suspicious of Qiao Er and did not immediately take action. Instead, hesitated and waited for a few days. As a result, the situation in Hebei suddenly surging and suddenly lost control.
"Liu Badao is dead."
Wang Fubao's words were astonishing. Qiao Er and Fang Xiaoer were stunned and looked at Wang Fubao in disbelief. Liu Badao died? Hebei was the first to rise up, and the commander of the A-minister-in-law, the strongest powerful army in Douzigang, was dead?
"Ah-du's army was suddenly attacked outside Jiangling City" suffered heavy losses."
After a moment of pause, Wang Fubao made another shocking news.
"Du Yanbing and Wang Rui were also dead. The German army was slow to move on the way to Douzigang." As a result, they were caught by the people in the northwest and were attacked and killed fiercely. They were almost wiped out. The remaining soldiers were captured by Hao Xiaode and Liu Heimu."
"Where are the other rebels?"
Qiao Er's face looked ugly, his tone was depressed and his emotions were very complicated, and he felt indescribable. Jialan was brave, the northwest people were strong, and he was protected by the gods in the dark. Hebei people were suffering.
"All the rebels retreated to Douzigang overnight. Because Ah Kui's army was defeated and could not support it, Li Deyi had no choice but to lead the remaining Ah Kui army to join the Yan army, with the wings and scales Yu Geqian and Gao Kaidao..." Wang Fubao shook his head sadly, "Ah Kui's army is over, and there is no possibility of a comeback. Today, Douzigang is Douzigang from Geqian and Gao Kaidao, and Liu Badao has become the past."
The three of them met speechlessly. Fang Xiaoer's resentment suddenly disappeared without a trace, and all that was left was so sadness and helplessness, and a sense of desolation that was free from the sorrow of the death fox.
The rebel army in Douzigang is much larger than Gaojipo. This time, Liu Badao also received support from Prince Bo of Qi and received strong help from four leaders of the Pingyuan rebel army, Hao Xiaode, Liu Heiju, Du Yanbing and Wang Rui. Who knew that it was so vulnerable and defeated so miserably. Is this news true or false? With the strength of Jialan and the Northwest people, even if the surprise attack was successful, even if they won, they would not have achieved such amazing results. The only explanation is that the rebel army was in chaos because of their own ulterior motives and fought on their own. On the way to retreat to Douzigang, they began to kill each other again. Those who were able to preserve their strength took the opportunity to annex the disabled and weak, and took the opportunity to strengthen themselves.
Who did Liu Badao die at? Who did Du Yanbing and Wang Rui die at? Who did he accomplish the miracle of Galan and the myths of the Northwest people, causing the situation in Hebei to reverse instantly?
Douzigang is now Ge Qian and Gao Kaidao, and the two rebels in Pingyuan County are now only Hao Xiaode and Liu Hei’s Pingyuan Army. Whoever is the beneficiary is the biggest suspect.
