Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, Dou Jiande was worried about the recent battle situation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt this time, Dou Bao reported to Dou Jiande:
"See uncle!"
"Dou Bao'er, is there something you have to do with coming to my handsome tent?"
"Uncle! Dou Quan is here. ”
"What? Dou Quan'er came, didn't he let him stay in Leshou? What is he here for? As soon as Dou Jiande heard that Dou Quan was coming, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Oh! Dou Quan heard that his uncle was short of food here, so he volunteered to come to deliver grain and grass. ”
"Humph! Transporting grain and grass, transporting grain and grass is not his duty, his duty is to stay behind, it's really ......" At this time, Dou Quan's voice sounded:
"Uncle! Brother Bao! Dou Quan's voice came slowly. Dou Jiande immediately changed his face:
"Ahh It's Dou Quan! What are you doing here. ”
"Uncle! My nephew misses my uncle, and I heard that your grain and grass here have been robbed, so I specially raised 3,000 carts of grain and grass, and more than 500 carts of baggage, and in order to prevent Li Tang's army from robbing grain, my nephew I decided to personally escort him, fortunately, my uncle was blessed with Qitian, and my nephew did not encounter any trouble on the road. ”
"Ugh! Dou Quan! Your filial uncle knows that if your uncle can capture Luoyang in the future and achieve the emperor's cause, you will make a great contribution! Dou Quan immediately complimented Dou Jiande and said:
"Uncle, my nephew doesn't want to be in power or anything in the future, my nephew only hopes that my uncle can live a long life, and the whole son can always accompany my uncle on his knees!" Dou Jiande laughed, took Dou Bao and Dou Quan's hands and said:
"Good! All right! That's great! Uncle has no children, and it is comforting to have a good nephew like you. "Dou Bao and Dou Quan were talking and laughing with Dou Jiande on the side, in fact, Dou Bao and Dou Quan both had a small calculation in their hearts - Dou Bao thought to himself: 'Hmph! What do you miss your uncle, it is obviously that I am afraid that I will make contributions on the front line, and when my uncle ascends the throne, he will crown me the crown prince. And Dou Quan also looked at Dou Bao secretly: "Hmph! I want to make meritorious contributions on the front line, and when the time comes, my uncle will make you the crown prince, and I want to be beautiful, with me, this throne is mine, and you want to climb to the head of labor and capital. Dou Jiande hugged his two nephews and didn't notice the eye contact between Dou Bao and Dou Quan. Dou Jian took Dou Baohe's hand and said:
"Bao'er, Quan'er, you came just in time, our uncle and nephew want to have a drink tonight. By the way, the three armies were rewarded, and these days, due to the lack of food and grass, the soldiers have suffered. In the evening, Dou Jiande feasted Dou Quan in the handsome tent:
"Come on! Quan'er, on the one hand, this banquet tonight is a feast for you, and on the other hand, our uncle and nephew haven't been together for a long time. So today's meeting will also be for the reunion of our uncle and nephew. Come! Cheers! ”
"I wish my uncle a long and healthy life, and I wish my Dou family army a victory and create my Dou dynasty."
"Hahaha! Good! Dry! "Just when Dou Jiande's uncle and nephew were hooking up the cup, Ling Jing appeared out of place, Dou Jiande saw Ling Jing, and immediately said in his heart: 'Why is this plague god here again. Coming, absolutely nothing good is coming! Although he was unhappy in his heart, Dou Jiande was still patient:
"Lord Ling Jing, you've come just in time! Here is the good wine from Le Shou brought by Quan'er from his hometown, come, have a drink together! Dou Jiande signaled, and Dou Quan immediately poured a cup and handed it to Ling Jing:
"Lord Ling Jing, come, have a drink!" Ling Jing ignored Dou Quan. walked directly to Dou Jiande's side, came to Dou Jiande's ear and muttered for a while:
"What? This is true! Hum! Dou Jiande threw away the wine glass in his hand and yelled at Dou Bao and Dou Quan:
"Don't drink, you two, come with me!" Dou Quan didn't notice the sternness in Dou Jiande's tone, but Dou Bao noticed that there was nothing unusual about it, patted Dou Quan's shoulder and said:
"Brother Quan, uncle wants us to go together, then accompany uncle!" Ling Jing led Dou Jiande, Dou Bao, and Dou Quan to the newly transported grain and grass cart, and a large group of soldiers surrounded there, and Dou Quan didn't understand what was going on:
"Uncle! Lord Ling Jing, what are you bringing me here for? ”
"General Dou Quan, these are the military rations you transported, right?"
"Yes! These are the military rations I brought over, yes! Because I was afraid that the military rations would be tampered with, I personally collected the escort, is there any problem? Ling Jing snatched a saber from a soldier's hand and cut open a bag of rice on the cart, the rice inside had already begun to rot. Dou Quan was frightened, and immediately knelt down to Dou Jiande, hugged Dou Jiande's thighs and cried:
"Uncle! My nephew is loyal to you! These, these things, someone must have framed the nephew! Please uncle, be clear, be clear! Uncle! Dou Jiande angrily kicked Dou Quan:
"Hey! You've done a great job! Dou Jiande snatched the saber in Ling Jing's hand, and was about to look at Dou Quan, and Dou Bao immediately hugged Dou Jiande:
"Uncle, uncle, calm down! Uncle! Ling Jing also persuaded on the side:
"King, now is the time to employ people, besides, cutting generals before the battle is not good for our army!" Dou Jiande is angry and loves you, and he threw away the saber and pulled Dou Quan up:
"Bastard! told you to stay in Leshou, you refused, you had to come here! From now on, cut off all your official titles, you are now not a general, but a small soldier, stand guard well, and no more mistakes will be made. ! Dou Quan kowtowed like garlic, Dou Jiande didn't look at it, and took Dou Bao and Ling Jing back to the tent:
"Hmmm! What a bastard! Ling Jing persuaded Dou Jiande again:
"My lord, for the sake of today, there are only two ways to go."
"You say!"
"The first one is what Weichen told you before, now the whole army has crossed the Yellow River to the north, captured Huaizhou Heyang, and arranged for the main general to defend it. Then he led a large group of men and horses to beat drums and raise flags, crossed the Taihang Mountain, and drove into Shangdang County, bluffing to hide the purpose, and did not have to trouble fighting. Speeding up to Hukou, gradually disturbing Pujin, and seizing the land east of the river is the best policy. There are three advantages to implementing this policy: First, if you go to a place where there is no one to defend, the army will be foolproof; the second is to expand the territory and recruit soldiers; The third is that the Tang army's encirclement of Wang Shichong will be lifted by itself. When Dou Jiande heard this strategy again, he immediately shook his head and said:
"Ling Jing, this king has already told you about this strategy, and all the generals don't agree, so let's talk about the next one!" Ling Jing spoke again:
"King! And then we will immediately withdraw our troops! Give up all the punishments you have captured and return to Le Shou! ”
"What, it's really a scholar's opinion, now that we have spent so much money and food, how can the city that the soldiers have captured after a long bloody battle here be discarded?" Ling Jing saw that Dou Jiande was furious, and immediately closed his mouth! Dou Jiande waved his hand to Ling Jing and said:
"Alright, Lord Ling Jing, go and get busy with your own business! There is something else going on in this king! Ling Jing had no choice but to lower his head and retreat. After Ling Jing left, Dou Jiande picked up the wine jug and took a sip, then threw the wine jug out again.
"Humph! This plague god! There are no good things all day long! Dou Bao stepped forward and said:
"Uncle! Since you don't like Ling Jing so much, why don't you give Lord Ling Jing ......" Dou Bao made a gesture to wipe his neck, and Dou Jiande directly stopped Dou Bao's words:
"Bao'er! You are still young, you don't know how to govern the country for the king and the country, although this Ling Jing is a plague god, but he is loyal to this king, besides, there is an ancient saying, the Son of Heaven has seven ministers, and he will not lose the world! Uncle is already old, and in the future, the whole world will be your young people. Dou Bao nodded:
"Hmmm! Uncle! The nephew has an immature idea, that is, I don't know what do you think, uncle? ”
"Say!"
"Nowadays, our army is in short supply of food and grass, soldiers can only drink gruel, and a day has been changed from three meals to two meals, it is better to let Lord Ling Jing return to Leshou to raise food and grass for our army, on the one hand, Lord Ling Jing is loyal to your uncle, so this matter, Lord Ling Jing will definitely work hard to do it! On the other hand, just to transfer Lord Ling Jing away, Uncle of the province, you look upset. Dou Jiande nodded:
"Hmmm! All right! Just do as you say! After Ling Jing left, Dou Jiande felt that his ears were much cleaner, in order to prevent Li Shimin's army from taking advantage of the situation to overwhelm him, Dou Jiande ordered that no troops should be sent to attack the tiger prison, and the whole army would hold on. However, God seems to want Dou Jiande to perish, on the eighth day of Ling Jing's departure, an urgent military report sent by Ling Jing came from the barracks, Dou Jiande opened it and spit out a mouthful of blood angrily, Dou Bao immediately supported Dou Jiande:
"Uncle! Uncle! Wake up! Dou Jiande opened his eyes slightly, pointed to the military newspaper, and closed his eyes again, Dou Bao picked up the military newspaper and looked at it - the criminal minister Ling Jing saw the king, Youzhou Luo Yi took advantage of the plan of the king to take the main force of our army to Luoyang, led the army to the rear of our army, and stayed behind Lord Cao Dan to surrender the city. Ling Jing is absolutely penned. After Dou Bao saw the military report, he also screamed in his heart - it's over, maybe our Dou family is finished.
Shandong Leshou, in a dungeon, in a cold dungeon, an oil lamp is lit, making this dark cell shine with light. Ling Jing was imprisoned here. At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the cell door, and the cell door opened:
"Lord Ling Jing, I've brought someone to see you." Ling Jing raised his head, only to see Cao Dan with several people and a food box in front of his cell:
"It turned out to be Brother Cao! Congratulations, being the Founding Father! ”
"Ugh! Brother Ling Jing! What are you talking about, if you Ling Jingbrother is willing, can you also be the founding father? ”
"Humph! Can't! I, Ling Jing, only know that loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, you still have this heart! Cao Dan angrily threw the food box on the ground.
"Humph! Ling Jing, don't be ignorant, you must know that you are now a prisoner. Ling Jing didn't speak, Cao Dan felt that he was being scorned, and ordered the cell boss to open the prison door, but Xu Jingzong stopped Cao Dan.
"Lord Cao, why do you have to be like him!"
"Lord Xu! Look at this man! Xu Jingzong persuaded Cao Dan to leave, and when he left, he said to Kuoleng:
"Kuoling, this person will be handed over to you, take care of it, you must not let this person die. It is useful for the father-in-law to keep him. Broadridge agreed:
"Yes! Father-in-law! Cao Dan quietly asked Xu Jingzong when he left the cell:
"Lord Xu, this person is stubborn, just like a stone in a pit, why keep him?"
"Ugh! Master Cao, why bother to be angry? Drink and go! On the one hand, Xu Jingzong has been lurking in Leshou for many years, and he has an understanding of Ling Jing's character and talent, and he mentioned Ling Jing many times in his secret letter to Li Jiancheng, hoping to recommend Ling Jing to Li Jiancheng, on the other hand, Xu Jingzong is not willing to be a spy leader for the rest of his life, Xu Jingzong hopes to be able to serve as prime minister in the future, and Ling Jing happens to become his ally, even if he can't become an ally, he also has a recommended performance in front of His Royal Highness the Prince.
