    In the afternoon of the seventh day of April, Dou Jiande's 110,000-strong army successfully arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River and set up camp north of Niuzhukou. The defeated Zheng Army generals Yang Gongqing and Wang Xingben, who had fled to Xingze, quickly led their remaining troops to defeat the future.  Joining forces with Dou Jiande, they brought Dou Jiande some forcibly conscripted Yellow River fishing boats, and also brought Dou Jiande the news that Chen Sangliang was confirmed to be in Hulao Pass.  After confirming that his mortal enemy Chen Sangliang was indeed in Hulao Pass, Li Mi looked at Hulao Pass in the south and couldn't help but think of all the past events when he and Chen Sangliang met, fell in love, and wanted to kill. He also thought of the first time they met at the top of Luoyang City.  The lucky escape on the battlefield of Xiaoshan, Chen Sangliang's intentional indulgence outside Menghai City, the meeting again outside Luokou Warehouse, and the battles of wits and courage again and again, and the comparison between evil and inferiority.  With a lot of emotions, Li Mi suddenly found that his hatred for Chen Sangliang had actually diminished a lot. On the contrary, he still felt very attached to this hateful and respectable enemy, and wanted to see Chen Sangliang again.  But it is a pity that Li Mi knew in his heart that although he and Chen Sangliang were only a few miles apart, there would be no chance of an immediate reunion, because he had to escape from Dou Jiande's army as soon as possible and could no longer participate in the activities that he strongly advocated but were doomed to be impossible.  What is gained from the Hulao Pass attack?  Therefore, no matter how much Li Mi misses his gay friend, he can only sigh softly and say in his heart: "Little thief, I will let you go this time. Next time, next time we will fight to the death in an upright manner." After sighing, Li Mi  Then he turned back to look at Dou Jiande's expression on the imperial chariot. To Li Mi's surprise, Dou Jiande was also looking at the south bank of the Yellow River in a daze. The expression on his face was also complicated, and there seemed to be some teeth-gnashing movements and a worried expression.  When Li Mi was wondering how Dou Jiande, a country bumpkin, could be so sentimental, Zuopu Sheqi Shanxing, the minister of the Daxia court on the other side, also saw that Dou Jiande was looking wrong, so he curiously asked Dou Jiande: "May I ask your Majesty, why are you so distracted?  Are you worried that when our army was crossing the river, they would be attacked by Chen Thief Ban? " Dou Jiande was really in a trance. It was only when Qi Shanxing repeated the question for the second time that Dou Jiande came back to his senses. He shook his head and said contemptuously that I still used Chen Thief Ban.  Cross over and attack?  Then he hummed and said: "I don't like the name of the Yellow River ferry in front of me. I find it disgusting." Qi Shanxing and many civil and military officials in Daxia were confused, and asked Dou Jiande why he hated the name of the ferry. Dou Jiande hummed again.  The voice said: "The ferry ahead is called Niuzhukou, also called Niukou. My surname Dou is the same as bean. If the bean goes into the mouth of the cow, hum, it is unlucky!" I believe all my friends know how serious the feudal superstition is in this era.  So after hearing this, Qi Shanxing, Fan Yuan, Hu Daen and other Daxia civil and military officials were stunned at first, and then immediately felt very unlucky. Li Mi secretly laughed at Dou Jiande's stupidity, and hurriedly took the opportunity to flatter him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry.  Although the name of the place ahead is not pleasant to hear, Your Majesty is the lord of the world. The people of Kyushu, the country and the land are all in His Majesty's pocket. The ferry in front naturally belongs to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty doesn't like the name of this crossing, just say.  With Jingkou Yu's words, we can change the name of this ferry and turn the bad luck into good luck, so what worries do we have?" Dou Jiande was indeed very superstitious. Although for some reasons, Li Mi was extremely wary and hated, he still nodded and said:  "What King Wei said is absolutely true, let's do it. Let me see, what name should I change? Well Fakou! The Yellow River ferry in front should be renamed Fakou!" "Fakou? Bean sprouts  ?¡± Li Mi almost laughed out loud when he heard this, but he managed to hold it back and quickly followed Daxia Wenwu in flattering him, praising Dou Jiande for changing Niuzhukou¡¯s name so well and so well.  Then seeing that Dou Jiande's mood had improved somewhat, Li Mi, who thought it was an opportunity, quickly handed over his hand and said: "Your Majesty, regarding the war in Luoyang, the minister has a suggestion, please adopt it." Looking at Li Mi, Dou Jiande's eyes were a little complicated, very complicated.  He said casually: "Let's hear it." "Wei Chen wants to go to the Qiao Peng Qingxu area and recruit some old troops for your majesty to help in the battle." Li Mi smiled and said: "The leaders of the rebels in the southeast area here were all my subordinates before.  It is very convenient for your Majesty to contact and negotiate with them. Your Majesty personally marches to Luoyang. It is the time to use people to exert your strength. I am willing to go to persuade them to surrender with your Majesty's imperial edict. If successful, your Majesty will not only have many more skilled warriors in front of you.  You can also get a large land city" "No need!" Dou Jiande's reaction surprised Li Mi. He interrupted him before he could finish his words and said coldly: "My current army is enough.  You don¡¯t have to worry about your love to recruit new troops. When Qing Xu Qiao and the leaders of the righteous armies in Peng County come to fight, I will send messages to recruit them, so you don¡¯t have to worry about your love.¡± Li Mi was a little dumbfounded. He never expected that he had already flattered Dou Jiande so much.  , Dou Jiande actually distrusted him so much. At the same time, Li Mi, who was good at observing words and expressions, also clearly discovered that Dou Jiande's tone seemed to be filled with anger.He seemed very dissatisfied with his request.  Surprised, Li Mi couldn't help but said in his heart: "What's wrong? Could it be that the poor place name of Niuzhukou really made Dou Jiande, a country bumpkin, so unhappy?" At this time, one or two Daxia civil and military officials actually stood up to help Li Mi.  It is recommended that Dou Jiande agree to Li Mi's request - because if successful, it will indeed help the Great Xia court obtain many cannon fodder troops and large tracts of land.  It's a pity that Dou Jiande seemed to have taken the wrong medicine and actually roared: "I said no, no need to say more!" The equally shocked civil and military officials quickly shut up, and Li Mi, who had seen Dou Jiande's arrogant temper, did not dare to persist.  , shut up obediently and lowered his head slightly. Dou Jiande glanced at Li Mi again and snorted coldly in his heart, "You are smart, if you say one more wordy word, I will kill you immediately even if the White Horse rebels! But don't do it either  It's too early to be happy. When I get the real evidence and when that common man Yang Jishan comes here Huh!" After saying this in his heart, Dou Jiande loudly ordered: "Send the order to the whole army and rest for the night. The whole army will cross the river tomorrow.  Fan Yuan led 10,000 elite soldiers to cross the border first. If the thieves come out and intercept them, we will definitely win!" All the civil and military officials in Daxia promised, but they all murmured in their hearts that your majesty had taken the wrong medicine today and missed the opportunity!  Why are you so angry for no reason?  Confused, he left Dou Jiande's side and returned to his entourage. Wang Bodang and Wang Xuance, two absolute confidants, immediately came up to him. While saluting Li Mi, Wang Bodang whispered: "Teacher, what happened?"  What's wrong? Why is there a tail behind you? " "Is there a tail behind me?" Li Mi was shocked. While pretending to talk to Wang Bodang and Wang Xuance indifferently, he discovered that there was indeed a ghost behind him.  Sneaking like a tail, Li Mi couldn't help but feel even more confused, and secretly thought: "What happened? How could someone spy on me? Didn't the spy Dou Jiande placed around me have already been withdrawn long ago?" More  What surprised and worried Li Mi was yet to come. In the evening of that day, a group of Dou Jiande's imperial guards suddenly came to his camp, claiming that they had come to strengthen the protection of Li Mi under Dou Jiande's imperial edict.  Li Mi was shocked and quickly ordered Wang Bodang to come forward to find out the reason. The guards of the Royal Forest Army said that it was because they were very close to Chen's army. Dou Jiande was afraid that some Sui troops would sneak into the camp and harm his important officials, so he added more troops to protect Li Mi.  After hearing the complaint, Li Mi knew that Dou Jiande had indeed become suspicious of him, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong, and at the same time, his life was on the line and he didn't dare to resist, so he had to accept Dou Jiande's so-called kindness with fear, and at the same time, he quickly looked for Dou Jiande's sudden attack on him.  Find out why you are suspicious and research other ways to get out.  In the early morning of the next day, with the support of the remnants of Zheng Jun and Yang Gongqing, Dou Jun began to cross the river in an all-round way. More than two hundred large and small boats on the river kept coming and going, transporting Dou Jun soldiers across the Yellow River in an endless stream.  Sui army scouts discovered these situations and quickly sent the news to Hulao Pass to report to Chen Sangliang. The Sui army generals suggested that Chen Sangliang immediately send troops to win a battle before crossing the border to boost morale and dampen the enemy's spirit.  .  However, Chen Sangliang shook his head categorically and refused: "There is no need to attack. Let him, Dou Jiande, cross the Yellow River." "Your Highness, the bandit army is powerful, with more than 100,000 troops. If they all cross the Yellow River, what will happen next?"  It will be difficult to defeat them in one fell swoop. "Yin Kaishan asked very suspiciously: "Now is a great opportunity to severely damage the enemy's forward. Your Highness has always used troops like a god, why should you miss it in vain?" Chen Sangliang smiled and said: "Dou Jiande?  If the men run to Baima Yanjin to cross the river, then I will send out an army anyway to seize the opportunity to attack halfway across the river, but since Dou Jiande is at the Niuzhukou ferry, there is no need for us to send troops. "  "Why?" Sui Jun generals asked in surprise.  "Because Niuzhukou is a mortal enemy." Chen Sangliang replied with a smile: "To the north of Niuzhukou is the Yellow River, to the west is Hulao Pass, and to the east is Tongji Canal. All of them are difficult to cross. Only the south side has open terrain.  However, all the counties and cities in the south have been destroyed. There is no food supply or strong city to defend. There are still three medium-sized rivers, Suo, Jing, and Zheng, blocking the way, and the farther you go, the farther away you are from Dou Jiande's lair.  So as long as we defeat Dou Jiande in the Niuzhukou area, we can immediately severely damage or even annihilate his main force! If Dou Jiande likes to come in, why should I stop him in such a favorable battlefield?" " I was surprised by the generals.  They looked at each other for a few times, and then Feng Deyi cautiously reminded: "Your Highness, Dou Jiande's bandit army is unstoppable and powerful. We want to defeat him at Niuzhukou in one fell swoop. I'm afraid it won't be that easy, right?" "Position  How could I not find it?" Chen Sangliang laughed out loud and said with a smile: "If Hulao Pass is still in the hands of the enemy, and Dou Jiande's bandit army directly crossed Hulao Pass and moved towards Luoyang, then it can be regarded as  The momentum is unstoppable, but now that Hulao Pass is in our hands.?What else is so unstoppable about Dou Jiande's bandit army?  Don¡¯t forget, back then, even I had no choice but to use Hulao Pass. In the end, I had to rely on Wang Shichong to send troops to attack, and I finally managed to force Zhai and Li¡¯s army away. Could it be that the attack methods and strength of Dou Jiande¡¯s army could be better than mine?  The king has more and is stronger?  " Having said this, Chen Sangliang paused and then said with a smile: "So we must not rush in this battle. We must first use Hulao Pass to drain Dou Jiande's spirit and morale, and make his thief army division old man tired.  , the generals and soldiers are tired of fighting, and then send out troops to attack fiercely, you will definitely win a great victory!  "Seeing that Chen Sangliang was so confident, and with the Hulao Pass city to defend, there was no need to fear Dou Jiande's frontal attack. The civil and military officers of the Sui army did not insist on asking for a fight. Then Yin Kaishan suggested: "Your Highness, let's take advantage of Dou Jiande.  We haven't prepared the weapons to attack the enemy yet, so we should quickly divide our troops and capture Luokou Cang. By taking Luokou Cang, we can completely solve the food and grass problem, and we don't have to worry about being flanked by Wang Xuanying's troops during the battle between Dou Jiande and Pifu.  " " Still no need.  Chen Sangliang said with a smile: "Dou Jiande came to save Wang Shichong. Will Wang Xuanying stand by and watch when he sends troops to attack the city?"  When Wang Xuanying is forced to send troops, we will first severely damage the main force of his defenders in the field, and then send troops to attack Luokou Cang. Not only can we be more confident, but we can also reduce many casualties of soldiers.  " The generals of the Sui army nodded in agreement. They all flattered the Tang king and said that he was unpredictable. Chen Sangliang smiled, then turned to Wang Fubao and said, "Fu Bao, I will give you a task of scolding you. You have to accept it.  It's a bit of a grievance, but for the sake of our overall situation, you have to bear this grievance.  " "Please give me your instructions, Your Highness.  "Wang Fubao clasped his fists without hesitation. "You take three hundred cavalry out of the city, show off in front of Dou Jiande's rebel army, pretend to surrender your former companions, and completely anger Dou Jiande on my behalf.  Chen Sangliang said: "If Dou Jiande sends troops to attack you, do not fight and withdraw immediately."  " Wang Fubao accepted the promise and immediately went down to gather the cavalry to prepare to go out of the city to show off. Although some people in the Sui army were worried that Wang Fubao would take the opportunity to flee, but considering Chen Sangliang's habit of employing people without suspicion, they knew that even if he opened his mouth, it would be of no use.  No one wasted this bit of verbal energy. As Chen Sangliang expected, when Wang Fubao appeared in front of Dou Jun's formation with three hundred cavalry, the roars and curses of countless Dou Jun generals immediately sounded in Dou Jun's formation.  When Wang Fubao persuaded his former colleagues to surrender, Dou's generals led by Fan Yuan became even more furious and immediately launched an attack. Wang Fubao remembered Chen Sangliang's order and led his troops to retreat immediately. Dou's army pursued him, but Wang Fubao escaped.  They were quick and crisp, and even when they reached Hulao Pass, they were unable to kill a single Sui cavalryman. On the contrary, they were shot dead and injured by strong bows and crossbows on the city wall, and they had to retreat bitterly.  When he arrived in front of Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande was naturally furious. While cursing Wang Fubao's shameless betrayal, he ordered the army to prepare siege weapons immediately after crossing the river, and launch an attack as soon as possible to capture Hulao Pass. At the same time, it was natural to send people in small boats.  Go up the Yellow River and rush to Luokoucang to contact Wang Xuanying and ask Wang Xuanying to send troops to attack Hulao Pass when his army attacks the city, so as to share the frontal pressure on Li Mi. Of course, Li Mi can also see that this is Chen Sangliang.  Li Mi repeated his old tricks and bullied Dou Jiande just as he had bullied Yang Xuangan before - deliberately provoking and irritating Dou Jiande to lure Dou Jiande into hastily launching an attack without sufficient preparation. However, Li Mi no longer cared about persuading Dou Jiande like he had done with Yang Xuangan.  , because Li Mi, Wang Bodang, Wang Xuance and others were not only being closely monitored by Dou Jiande's guards, but were unable to move freely at all. After Dou Jiande crossed the Yellow River, he set up camp ten miles east of Hulao Pass at night and took command for Li Mi.  Finally, Yang Jishan, a direct descendant, also came to Dou Jiande's camp and came to Li Mi. Seeing Yang Jishan suddenly appeared, Li Mi was extremely surprised at first, and then shocked. He quickly asked Wang Bodang to guard the tent, and then asked in a low voice.  : "Why are you here?  What about our military?  Why don't I see any new troops coming here?  " "Our troops are still in Jujube.  Yang Jishan replied: "I was ordered to lead the army westward to assist in the war, but yesterday I suddenly received an imperial edict from Dou Jiande, asking me to temporarily leave the army in Suanzao, and temporarily hand it over to the command of Fang Xuanzao, and rush to Niuzhukou to meet him.  So here I am.  "    "broken!  "When Li Mi heard his complaint, he became more certain that Dou Jiande had indeed become suspicious of him and was probably planning to attack him. However, Yang Jishan quickly asked Li Mi what had happened and why Dou Jiande suddenly issued this strange edict.  , Li Mi did not answer, but asked angrily: "Why don't you find an excuse to refuse?  Don¡¯t you know why I entrusted my last direct lineage to you?  " When Yang Jishan heard the injustice, he quickly said: "Originally, I wanted to find an excuse to refuse to leave the army, but Fang Xuanzao reminded me that you are still here. If I disobey,You will definitely be in danger, so I have no choice but to come here first with a team of cavalry.  " Li Mi almost fainted when he heard this. He knew in his heart that Fang Xuanzao had probably been secretly bribed by Dou Jiande, and he also knew that he could no longer rely on his direct relatives to help him. Yang Jishan quickly asked the reason for this strange thing. Li Mi  Forced to have no choice, he whispered the truth of the matter in Yang Jishan's ear, and also said that Dou Jiande might have noticed that his plan to defect. When Yang Jishan heard this, he turned pale and hurriedly asked: "Then what?  manage?  Now we are all in Dou Jiande's private camp, waiting for the case to be served. If Dou Jiande suddenly strikes, we will not be able to resist it?  " Li Mi didn't answer. He was silent for a long time before whispering: "We can only run away. Dou Jiande is a man who is eager to kill. If we don't run, we will all be dead.  " "Then where should we run?  Yang Jishan quickly asked: "Do you want to escape back to Jujube and join our army?"  " Li Mi shook his head and said: "You can't go back to Suanzao. Fang Xuanzao urges you to leave the army and come here to see Dou Jiande. It is most likely unreliable. If we go back, we will only die in vain.  " "Then where should we run?  To the south?  If Dou Jiande, a common man, sends out cavalry to pursue him, how can we resist him?  Yang Jishan asked again in a low voice. Li Mi stopped talking again. After a longer silence, Li Mi asked Yang Jishan in a low voice: "Ji Shan, do you still hate Chen Yingliang, the little thief?"  "
