Cao Yanshou.
Eight feet tall, with a white face and silver beard, he is majestic and has a dignified appearance.
He was the younger brother of Ding Yanping, one of the "Nine Elders of the Kai Sui Dynasty". He also used a pair of spears to fly and swing like two dragons out of the sea, appearing and disappearing, unstoppable.
Therefore.
He was favored by Yang Lin and was currently stationed in Caozhou as the commander-in-chief of the army.
At this moment.
He took the letter and after reading it, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Huh? Why is Brother Cao laughing?"
Yang Lin asked strangely.
"The general was thinking that at such a young age, Wang Yanzhong actually planned such a plan, as if one person could mobilize thousands of troops, so he couldn't help but laugh and asked the prince to forgive me."
When Cao Yanshou saw Yang Lin asking, he felt out of control and quickly raised his hands and said.
"Hey! Although Wang Ke is young, he can also be said to have been in battle for a long time... Now, he wrote a letter and asked the lonely king to adopt his opinions. Naturally, the lonely king will make some plans. If what he said is true, Li, if hundreds of thousands of troops in several states follow his orders, what's the problem?"
Yang Lin laughed, waved his hand, and said to Cao Yanshou.
"Hahahaha! What the prince said makes sense. I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry!"
After listening to Yang Lin's words.
Cao Yanshou stroked his long beard and laughed.
Subsequently.
He turned his eyes to the other person beside him and said, "Old Huang, take a look too!"
"I just heard what you said, and I was already feeling itchy!"
This man called Lao Huang was actually Huang Congyi, the general of Laizhou who commanded 30,000 navy troops and 50,000 infantry troops.
I saw that this Huang Congyi had the head of a tiger and the eyes of a leopard, with silver hair and a long beard. He was wearing golden armor and a brocade robe. He was also a veteran general.
Now, he took the letter from Cao Yanshou, read it for a moment, raised his head unconsciously, and asked Yang Lin: "Your Majesty, Wang Ke's strategy is indeed feasible!"
"You think so too?"
Yang Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Huang Congyi, and asked.
Huang Congyi has been a general for many years. He is proficient in bow and horse, and has strong martial arts. He has a Nine Phoenix Chaoyang Sword in his hand, which is very powerful.
besides.
This person's military writings, tactics, and marching strategies are all unknown and unknown.
Therefore.
Yang Lin valued him very much, so he handed over all the naval forces in Dengzhou to Huang Congyi.
Now.
Huang Congyi also felt that Wang Ke's strategy was feasible, which really gave Yang Lin a shot in the arm and made Yang Lin's expression warm.
"But...will Sir Li cooperate with us?"
Huang Congyi asked a very important question.
Lord Li is Li Zitong.
Li Zitongjue was granted the title of King of Shoudong. He was based in Shoudong and governed the natural dangers of the Yangtze River. He was the overlord of the south of the Yangtze River in the Sui Dynasty. If he did not actively cooperate, then Wang Keruo's plan could not be implemented perfectly.
"A few days ago, King Gu personally wrote a letter and informed Li Zitong. He has already written a reply, saying that he is willing to work together with us to put down the rebellion of the King of Han."
Yang Lin nodded and said with a smile.
"That's good...the general will be fine!"
Huang Congyi waved his hand and said.
"In that case, who is willing to serve as the commander-in-chief this time and fight against the rebellion?"
There was no objection from everyone.
Yang Lin immediately asked.
He didn't finish his sentence.
Then Cao Yanshou and Huang Congyi stood up together, cupped their hands and said: "I will go there eventually!"
"Old Huang, you have such a huge relationship with the Commander-in-Chief of the Dengzhou Navy, why bother trying to steal this credit from me?"
Seeing Huang Congyi asking for orders.
Cao Yanshou said with a smile.
"I haven't been active for so many years. Why not go out and exercise?"
Huang Congyi curled his lips and said to Cao Yanshou unconvinced.
"Hahahaha! You old man!"
After hearing this.
Cao Yanshou burst out laughing.
"Okay, okay! Although King Lone is not the commander-in-chief this time, King Lone will also go out with the army. At that time, the important task of Dengzhou's defense will be handed over to Brother Huang."
Yang Lin smiled slightly, raised his hand to comfort the two of them, and then said.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will definitely live up to his mission!"
I heard that Yang Lin had made a decision.
Huang Congyi no longer had any objections.
He immediately cupped his fists and raised his hands, and said in a deep voice.
"Okay! Then in this crusade against the rebellion, Brother Cao will be the main general, leading 30,000 troops and horses to go out of Dengzhou to meet the rebel army!"
Yang Lin nodded slightly, then waved his hand and gave a decisive order.
"The last general takes command!"
Cao Yanshou clasped his hands into fists and said in a deep voice.
…
The land of Hebei.
Qizhou.
Feihu slope down.
This is a dangerous place south of Qizhou City.
Some days ago.
Dou Jiande used his status as the leader of the Xie Zhi Hall of the Iron Hand Regiment to activate secrets across Hebei, causing many cities to surrender without a fight.
From then on, Zhou Luohu captured seven or eight big cities without losing any blood. At the same time, he recruited 30,000 to 40,000 new troops as his subordinates.
Seeing that Dou Jiande has such merit.
Zhou Luohu was in a good mood.
He appointed Dou Jiande as the general in charge of one side and asked him to lead the Qiu bearded guests, his old troops, and 20,000 troops to attack Qizhou.
unexpectedly.
The governor of Jeju came to protect his son and lead the army to help.
Lai Hu'er was brave and good at fighting. He led five thousand cavalry in a sudden attack and immediately defeated Dou Jiande's forward troops and killed several deputy hall leaders of the Iron Hand Regiment.
Under such power.
Dou Jiande could only take a defensive stance.
He arranged his troops and horses in a crane-wing formation, set up camp on the rolling hills, and held a stalemate with the officers and soldiers.

"Report!"
This day.
It was already the sixth day of Dou Jiande's siege.
As time goes by.
Dou Jiande was also quite irritable.
at this time.
He is resting in the tent.
A soldier came straight in and saluted with his hands in hand.
"What's up?"
Dou Jiande asked casually without raising his head.
"Lai Hu'er led three thousand soldiers and horses out of the city and has already broken through our defense line."
The soldier said in a low voice with a bitter look on his face.
"Straight bitch!"
Dou Jiande cursed loudly, took the knife in his hand, strode out of the camp, gathered his troops, and prepared to go out for a battle.
but.
When he led his army to the front line, he saw that his first line of defense had been formed, and two generals, each holding a sword, were fighting with Lai Hu'er.
Among the two generals, the one with a thick beard and a large golden ring sword in his hand was the bearded man Zhang Zhongjian.
As for the other one, who had a red scarf on his head and cloth armor, a simple appearance, dressed like a peasant, and wielding an iron gun in his hand, he didn't recognize him.
"who's that person?"
I looked at it for a long time.
Dou Jiande couldn't help but be very surprised when he saw that the peasant-looking man had superb marksmanship and was actually fighting with Lai Hu'er, so he asked.
The soldiers on the side replied: "Reporting to the general, this person's name is Liu Heitai. He is from Zhangnan County, Beizhou. He came to join the army in recent days. Because the leader of the team died in the battle, he took over and was responsible for guarding the first line. Line of defense.”
"In other words, Lai Hu'er defeated the first line of defense, Liu Heitai stabilized the situation in time, and also fought against the enemy generals with the bearded guest... This person is a rare general!"
I listened to what the soldiers said.
Dou Jiande's eyes burst into light.
Immediately, he drew out the long knife from his waist, pointed at the soldiers and horses fighting in front of him, and shouted loudly: "My sons, follow me to kill the enemy!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
In the battlefield.
I heard reinforcements arriving behind me.
The bearded guest and Liu Heita were refreshed.
The two of them fought with swords and guns to protect Lai'er, and they became more and more brave in killing.
But the more Lai Huer beat him, the more anxious he became.
He was the governor of Jeju. When he saw that a neighboring county was being attacked by thieves, he immediately raised troops to support him without thinking.
In the first moment, he led the cavalry to defeat the thieves.
Originally thinking that these thieves were just a mob, Lai Huer prepared to fight today and defeat them all.
unexpectedly.
He just broke through a line of defense.
A stronger line of defense has been established.
These changes caught Lai Hu'er off guard, and his troops suffered heavy casualties in the desperate fight of the rebels.
"No! It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. We'll discuss it later when we return to the city!"
Thoughts spin like electricity.
Lai Hu'er gritted his teeth and immediately swung his iron spear, clanging twice, and swung away the weapons of the bearded guest and Liu Heita.
Then, he and his horses turned around and retreated in defeat.
"Don't leave!"
When the bearded guest saw that Lai Hu'er was defeated, and when he was about to pursue him, Liu Heitai stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Why stop me!"
I saw Liu Heitai dressed simply.
The bearded guest rolled his eyes strangely and asked.
