  Chapter 90 Swordsman

  Qin Lang went to discuss with Dou Hongxian, intending to keep Taipinglang here first, and he and Su Lie went to Youzhou to do a deal, and then came to pick Taipinglang back to Chang'an after the matter was completed.

  Qin Lang didn't hide anything about his trip to Youzhou, he bluntly said that Li Yuan and Wang Junkuo were going to rebel, and this time he was going back to kill them. Especially Wang Junkuo, if it wasn't for him, Luo Shixin would not have died.

   "Then count me in." After listening to Dou Hongxian, she gritted her teeth and directly mentioned Fang Tian's painting halberd to go with her.

   "Auntie, it's very dangerous to go deep into the tiger's den, so please stay here temporarily."

Dou Hongxian danced with a halberd, "Sanlang, you don't remember many things. Auntie doesn't blame you. Auntie, my halberd has also beheaded enemies and generals before the battle. You know the Xue brothers under Luo Yi, right?" I have faced the three brothers Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanshu, and Xue Wanshu once, and Xue Wanshu was picked off by me, and almost died. Even Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, brothers, I did not fall behind."

   These words sound like bragging. After all, Qin Lang has fought against Xue Wanche, and knows that this guy is first-class in both commanding troops and riding and shooting skills. But thinking about how Dou Hongxian can be called a heroine by Qin Shubao and fall in love at first sight with Luo Shixin, the **** of war, it is definitely not easy.

  He is a Valkyrie who built the Detachment of Women like Princess Pingyang Zhao.

   "Don't you believe it? How about we make gestures? I haven't seen you for a few years, and I don't know how your martial arts are now?" Dou Hongxian raised his halberd and challenged Qin Lang.

  Qin Lang was surprised.

   Hehe laughed twice, but this hehe annoyed Dou Hongxian, she thought Qin Lang was mocking her.

   "Go, go outside to make gestures, today I will definitely show you how amazing it is!"

  Qin Lang was dragged by Dou Hongxian to the edge of the vegetable garden outside.

   "What weapon do you use?" Dou Hongxian held Fang Tian's painted halberd, like a female middle school Lu Bu.

   "Auntie, what kind of weapon do you have here? I don't have a long soldier with me." Qin Lang said helplessly, ready to deal with it casually.

   "There are both horses and spears, you choose."

   "Let's take a long spear!" Qin Lang chose a long spear, because Ma Li was supposed to be a long spear, and it was too long to step down and use it.

However, when he saw that Dou Hongxian still had horses, spears, big spears, and painted halberds hidden in the hut, he couldn't help but secretly marveled, saying that Yanzhao men are brave, and it is a felony to hide forbidden soldiers .

  Take off the long spear, hold it in your hand and try it out, the two-foot-long spear is strong and soft, but it's easy to hold.

"ah!"

  Dou Hongxian was not polite, he let out a roar, and slammed down a painting halberd. Don't really look at Hongxian's delicate body and very slender appearance, but this strike against Huashan was very powerful.

  Qin Lang didn't dare to be careless, and shot like a dragon.

  Flying sand and rolling stones on the field, the sound is like dragons singing and tigers roaring.

  Aunt and nephew fight together.

  Dou Hongxian, with Fang Tian's painted halberd, is like the **** of war Lu Bu coming into the world, smashing, sweeping and stabbing, with a fierce offensive. With a long spear in his hand, Qin Lang used the Qin family's lance method, combining hardness and softness, picking and slashing continuously.

  The more he beat Qin Lang, the more concentrated he became.

  Dou Hongxian had already forced him to exert a lot of skill. This horse contest did not have a horse mount, but it was a test of kung fu. In the blink of an eye, dozens of rounds passed, and he was already sweating.

  Over there, Dou Hongxian was still physically strong, and Fang Tian painted the halberd one after another, without losing his might in the slightest.

  This physical strength has already surpassed 90% of men.

  At the end of the fight, Dou Hongxian swept the army with another halberd, and Qin Lang also swept the army with a single move.

  The two stopped holding half of the pole each.

   "Auntie really does not give way to a man, I admire it!" Qin Lang was panting, which was really unexpected.

  Dou Hongxian wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I haven't seen you for a few years, Saburo, you have really improved your martial arts. If you continue to fight, Auntie will be exhausted. It seems that you have already done your best."

Qin Lang felt that his hands were trembling slightly. The Dou Hong line was too fierce. He originally thought that even if she used Fang Tian to draw a halberd, she should use skills. fierce way.

   "How about it, my aunt can go to Youzhou with this painting of a halberd?"

   "You can go, let alone Youzhou, you can even go to Auntie of the East China Sea Dragon Palace." Qin Lang quickly flattered him, but this was the first Valkyrie he met since he came to Tang Dynasty.

   Others such as Zheng Shisanniang also claim to be good at swordsmanship, but in real comparison, it is the daughter who is congenitally deficient.

  When Qin Lang came to discuss the action with Su Dingfang, Su Dingfang smiled, "Didn't expect that?"

   "Indeed, Auntie is too strong, and only an unrivaled man like Uncle Luo can survive. Su Dalang, you are almost too close."

  Which pot is not open and which pot is lifted, Su Dingfang looks embarrassed.

   If it comes to commanding troops to fight wars, Su Dingfang is better than Dou Hongxian, but if only talking about martial arts, Su Dingfang really can't beat her.

  After a brief discussion, Qin Lang decided to go to see the governor of Mingzhou first.

   The Mingzhou Governor's Mansion is located in Yongnian City, Mingzhou, west of Mingshui City, on the north bank of Mingshui.

  At the beginning of Wude, after the new peace of Hebei in the Tang Dynasty, the Great General Administration Mansion was established in Mingzhou. After that, Liu Heita was pacified, the General Manager's Mansion was abolished, and it was changed to the Central Governor's Mansion, which governed the military affairs of Ming, Wei, Yan, Xiang, Ci, Xing, and Zhao states.

  The chief supervisor of Minzhou was originally Li Yuan, but later Li Yuan was changed to be the chief supervisor of Dingzhou, and then the governor of Youzhou. After Li Yuan left, Shuang Shiluo served as the governor of Mingzhou. The current envoy and governor of Mingzhou is Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Mingzhou, the minister of seven states, and the governor of Mingzhou.

  Just transferred from Shi Ren, the governor of Yingzhou this year, Cheng Mingzhen is originally from Mingzhou.

  At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he followed the rebel army against the Sui Dynasty, and then joined Dou Jiande as the county magistrate. During his tenure as county magistrate, his outstanding political achievements and his ability to appease the people made thieves dare not set foot in it. However, in the fourth year of Wude, Mingzhen, the future of the Central Plains War, voluntarily left Dou Jiande and defected to the Tang Dynasty, and was awarded the magistrate of Yongning County.

  During the Central Plains War, he led the county soldiers to attack Ye County, expanded the territory, and made great contributions. After that, he also made great achievements in the battle of Pingliu Heitai, and finally he was awarded the title of Duke of Dongping County and the history of the governor's office of Yingzhou.

   "This Cheng Mingzhen is interesting!" Liu Jiu said with a smile.

"That's not true. I was just a commoner. I joined the bandit army in troubled times and pulled up my own team. Later, I realized that Dou Jiande would eventually become king in Hebei, so I took the initiative to lead people to vote. Although I only appointed a county magistrate, I was able to do it." It was impressive. Before the Central Plains War started, he already believed that Dou Jiande would be defeated, so he took the initiative to vote for Li Tang again. This vision is very powerful." Lin San also praised.

   Ah Huang said, "Don't look down on those of us who have been bandits. How many heroes in troubled times all started from humble beginnings."

   "Then Cheng Mingzhen is now the governor of Mingzhou and other seven states. Ah Huang, you used to be considered a good name in the green forest. You are a number one person in the world, but now you are far behind." Liu Jiu teased.

   "Why are you laughing at me? You were still the crown prince back then, but now you are also compared with my old Huang."

  Qin Lang was riding on the horse, listening to the bickering of several subordinates, but ignoring them. He was pondering the collected information about Cheng Mingzhen.

   Judging from his resume, this Cheng Mingzhen is really good. His vision is extremely poisonous. He has a foresight in changing his family several times, which fully shows that this person has a strong view of the overall situation.

This information shows that Cheng Mingzhen's mother and wife fell into the enemy's hands during the battle against Liu Heitai, but he did not waver in the slightest. He still insisted on fighting the enemy and made great contributions. character.

  When Wude was four years old, he was just a small county magistrate under Dou Jiande's command. Now, in just five years, he has already become the governor of the seven prefectures of Hebei Ming in the Tang Dynasty. This promotion speed is very impressive.

  Zhongdudu, that is also a third-rank official, the same rank as the prime ministers such as Shizhong and Zhongshuling.

   There were so many founding generals in the Tang Dynasty, but Cheng Mingzhen became the governor, which shows that this person is very unusual.

  A person who would never compromise even if his mother, wife and children fall into the hands of thieves, Li Yuan rebelled at this time, and he has no reason to participate. Cheng Mingzhen is worthy of Qin Lang's trust, and will be his important backup force in Hebei.

  In the city of Mingzhou, in the governor's mansion.

  The newly appointed governor and governor, Cheng Mingzhen, is very busy. He was promoted from Governor Shi of Yingzhou to governor of Mingzhou.

  As soon as he took office, he began to deal with official duties in a vigorous manner.

  He was originally from Mingzhou. At this time, he was transferred back to his hometown to serve as the governor. He regarded it as a kind of honor and honor, allowing him to return to his hometown in fine clothes and honor his ancestors.

  The cicada on the tree in the courtyard outside the window kept calling cicadas, and the noise annoyed him. Cheng Mingzhen really wanted to ask what the cicada knew?

  He has been in office for a while now, but he finds that he is still confused about the military and civil affairs in Mingzhou, and he is not clear about it.

   It can be felt that the Tang court still has little popular support in the Hebei area, and the common people, especially those powerful landlords, generally have a heart of hatred and resentment towards the court and government.

  Even the subordinate servants in his yamen often behave in a way that is yin and yang.

  The servant opened the door and came in, bringing a large piece of roasted golden mutton.

   "Ah Lang, there is no rush to have something to eat before dealing with business."

  Cheng Mingzhen put down the paperwork in his hand, picked up a knife and began to cut the meat. The meat was cooked very well, especially with the addition of expensive Western Region pepper, which made the meat less fishy.

   "Alang, Su Lie is here, just outside."

  When Cheng Mingzhen heard Su Lie's name, he immediately put down the knife, "He's here? Why don't you come in quickly."

  After Liu Heita's two rebellions and two defeats, the elite soldiers under Dou Jiande's command were about to die, and some of the remaining ones belonged to the imperial court, and only a few returned to their hometowns and refused to serve as officials. Su Lie was one of them, and he was also a very prestigious one in Dou Jiande's old department.

  As soon as Cheng Mingzhen took office, he took the initiative to visit Su Lie who lived in seclusion in Mingshui. He hoped that he could be invited to do things. Based on Su Lie's reputation, if he would come out to help with things, it would be of great help to him. It's a pity that Su Lie refused to leave the mountain no matter how much he invited, unexpectedly he came today.

   "I will meet in person!"

  Cheng Mingzhen wiped himself clean, straightened his skirt, and went outside to greet him in person.

  When he came to the front hall, Cheng Mingzhen saw Su Lie Su Dingfang in a coarse short shirt at a glance. He was about to ask for greetings when he saw a familiar person next to him out of the corner of his eye.

  Princess Yongan Dou Hongxian?

   Then I saw another woman, isn't that the Nanyang Princess of the former Sui Dynasty?

   Surprised one after another, and then he accidentally discovered that these three people were sitting around one person, and the one sitting in the middle was actually a young man.

   Who is this?
