Seeing Lin Zhiwu, Dou Jiande suddenly felt a splitting headache.

Through this period of observation, he could see that although Lin Zhiwu was very accomplished in weapons and machinery, he was still a young man after all. He was prone to making mistakes and his brain was flexible but weak.

Just for riding horses, Lin Zhiwu and Liu Heita got into a fight. The two of them disliked each other. He originally expected Lin Zhiwu to modify more weapons for him, but now it seems that he is not satisfied.

A headache is a headache, but I still have to hold this kid steady.

"I want to send you home, but isn't there still a war? The war is in chaos, and I don't have enough troops. If something goes wrong on your way, how can I explain it to your cousin? Don't you think so?"

Lin Zhiwu hesitated. Although Da Heitan was annoying, Dou Jiande treated him well. Besides, Dou Jiande was right. He finally saved his life and could not lose it again.

"Then you send someone to deliver a message to my cousin and ask him to pick me up."

In short, he didn't want to see that big piece of black coal again.

"Okay, I'll send someone right away."

Lin Zhiwu left with satisfaction.

Wang Fubao asked: "Does Dalang really want to send a letter to his cousin?"

"Send, since you have promised him, you must fulfill it. If you don't believe it, don't stand." This is Dou Jiande's consistent principle. After saying this, he wrote a letter and gave it to Wang Fubao, "Send someone to give it to Su Dingfang."

****

Yang Yichen thought that after killing Gao Shida, it was easy to defeat Dou Jiande. Unexpectedly, Dou Jiande escaped and occupied Raoyang County with more than 3,000 troops.

The scary thing is that in just a few days, everyone in Raoyang County worked together to help Dou Jiande resist him. Yang Yichen felt very unhappy when he thought of this.

Su Dingfang touched the letter in his sleeve again and walked into the meeting hall.

"General, the imperial court has issued an edict. If the bandit leaders from various places are willing to surrender to the imperial court, the imperial court will grant them official positions. I am willing to go to Raoyang to recruit Dou Jiande."

Yang Yichen thought that the soldiers had been a little tired recently and the army was war-weary. It would be a good thing to recruit Dou Jiande without spending a single soldier, so he agreed: "Okay."

****

Early the next morning, Wang Xiaohu hurried into the main hall and reported to Dou Jiande: "Dalang, Su Dingfang is here."

Dou Jiande straightened up suddenly and got off the bed: "How many people did you bring?"

"He's the only one."

Dou Jiande was stunned, "Just one person?" He was too brave.

"Take him to the side hall, I'll be back later."

Hearing his voice before seeing him, Su Dingfang first heard the bold laughter, and then saw Dou Jiande walking in.

Dou Jiande clasped his fists at Su Dingfang and said, "The Commander-in-Chief Su is here. I'm sorry for the delay in greeting you from afar. I'm sorry."

Su Dingfang returned the greeting: "Dou Yingxiong is so polite. People in the Ming Dynasty don't speak secretly. I am here on behalf of the imperial court."

After speaking, he handed over an edict.

Dou Jiande seemed to have a premonition in his heart. After taking the edict and reading it, he sighed in his heart, as expected.

He had long heard that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had issued an imperial edict to recruit and recruit bandit leaders from various places. So far, he has not heard any news about anyone who has surrendered to the court, but there has been less news about rebellions recently, except for Li Mi from Wagang Village.

It seems that many people were moved by the imperial court's recruitment.

"One more thing, I hope Dou Yingxiong can return my cousin to me." Su Dingfang stared at Dou Jiande, feeling guilty at the thought of his cousin suffering in the rebel camp.

Compared to Lin Zhiwu, Dou Jiande admired the young man in front of him more. They had fought against each other on the battlefield. Su Dingfang was a rare warrior.

Dou Jiande put the edict on the table aside, "On that day, Zhang Jincheng's subordinates brought Lin Dalang to seek refuge with me. Only then did I find out that Lin Dalang was the cousin of Sheriff Su.

"I originally wanted to return Lin Dalang to you, but I never found the chance. Governor Su, don't worry, Lin Dalang will be provided with delicious food and drink by me, and I didn't hurt him at all..."

"In that case, please ask Dou Yingxiong to call my cousin, I want to take him away." Su Dingfang followed his words.

"Don't worry, Sheriff Su." Dou Jiande paused and said slowly: "I will definitely return it to you, but I want to discuss something important with Sheriff Su now."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"The Sui Dynasty is already on the verge of collapse. Your Majesty is licentious and tyrannical, and the people are in dire straits. You have great righteousness in your heart. Why don't you join me, rise up, and seek welfare for all people in the world?"

Su Dingfang heard this and shouted: "How outrageous. Although your Majesty was confused for a while, he was able to change his ways and turn the tide. As ministers, we will do our best to defend the majesty of the imperial court and protect the people of the world."

"I pretend I didn't hear what Dou Yingxiong said. As for the court's recruitment, I would like Dou Yingxiong to give me an answer."

Dou Jiande was not disappointed when his wooing was rejected. He had known that Su Dingfang would not be wooed so easily.

He glanced at the edict, and after a moment of silence, he said: "It's a very important matter, and I have to think about it. So, I'll ask Governor Su to stay for now, and I'll have people prepare good wine and food, and then I'll ask Lin Dalang to come over and accompany you."

"You brothers haven't seen each other for so long, I guess you have a lot to say.

"How about I give you an answer after dinner?"

"OK."

...

Dou Jiande ordered people to prepare wine and food for Su Dingfang, and asked people to take Lin Zhiwu to a side hall, and then summoned his close advisers for an emergency meeting.

Liu Heitao jumped up and said, "Movement of peace? Of course I can't agree. I'm most annoyed by the chattering and sour scholars in the court. If I accept the peace of mind, won't I have to listen to them in the future?"

"No, I can't agree."

Wang Fubao said: "In the past few days, people have come to seek refuge one after another, and we have also gathered the remaining troops of General Gao. Now we finally have men on hand. If we accept the imperial court's recruitment, these people will not be ours.

"If the court goes back on its word, we will have no money and no one, so we are too passive."

"Yeah yeah..."

Everyone agreed and refused to accept the offer.

Dou Jiande looked at the counselor Ling Jing who had been silent: "What do you think, sir?"

Ling Jing muttered: "It is not a bad thing for the imperial court to recruit troops. Although we have three thousand soldiers and horses in our hands now, the more than 10,000 people led by Yang Yichen are elites who followed him to conquer Liaodong and have been on the battlefield for several years. If we resist head-on

, we are by no means opponents.

"For the current plan, we should first agree to the imperial court's recruitment and protect ourselves, and then slowly plan..."

Ling Jing's words touched Dou Jiande's heart, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "Mr.'s words are in my opinion, so I will act according to your plan."

****

As soon as he saw Lin Zhiwu, Su Dingfang pulled him up and down and looked him up and down: "Are you injured? Let me see quickly."

This was the first time he came into contact with the original owner's cousin after time travel. Although he had the memory of the original owner in his mind, Lin Zhiwu was still a little resistant to Su Dingfang in his heart, at least he couldn't accept such a passionate touch.

Lin Zhiwu broke free from Su Dingfang's hands, took two steps back, and said with a smile: "Cousin, I'm fine and not injured. I'm just not used to riding horses and my butt hurts."

Hearing what he said, Su Dingfang felt relieved and teased him: "I ran around when I first learned to ride a horse. Now I know I regret it."

regret?

I regret it very much. If he had known that bungee jumping would lead to time travel, I would have killed him not to bungee jump.

When he came to this Sui Dynasty, he couldn't adapt to anything. The tea was salty, there was no beef, and he ate mutton every meal. The smell of mutton killed him.

There is no high chair, so I have to kneel down to sit, and my legs are so numb after eating that I can’t stand up.
