Chapter thirty-fifth fierce battle of Wei Shi
Kong Deshao had already heard of this prophecy, and he had also studied it carefully at home. After receiving the report, Kong Deshao shook his head and said, "Prince, I guess there is a conspiracy here."
Dou Jiande's face darkened a little. Kong Deshao is good everywhere, with a sharp mind and broad mind. It is this "conspiracy that always be called" that made him dislike. When he saw that Kong Deshao started talking about conspiracy again, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, "Don't talk about conspiracy for me, explain this prophecy for me."
Kong Deshao felt Dou Jiande's displeasure, and he quickly smiled, "Actually, this prophecy is not difficult to understand. The first sentence of Youzhou has a demonic way, which means that this person was born in Youzhou and was called a demonic way. The prince might as well think about who the demonic way refers to?"
Dou Jiande thought about it and shook his head, "I can't think of it."
"The prince, in fact, it's not referring to the demonic path, but to the demonic sword."
Dou Jiande suddenly reacted, "Are you talking about Song Jingang?"
Song Jingang is known as the four most amazing generals in the world, nicknamed "Demon Sword". Isn't Song Jingang a native of Shanggu County, Youzhou? Dou Jiande's brows frowned. What does this mean?
Kong Deshao continued: "Prince, the second sentence has been clear. He said that he was the God of Demon subduing. Isn't this God of Demon subduing the Demon subduing the Demon subduing the Demon subduing the King Kong?"
Dou Jiande woke up a little, and it really refers to Song Jingang. "What does it mean to drive the clouds out of the white sea and fall into the Qing Emperor?"
"Prince, the White Sea refers to the Beihai. When the clouds appear on the White Sea, the fallen body is the Qing Emperor, which means that this person will come out of Beihai County and then become the Emperor of Qingzhou."
Dou Jiande's face became extremely ugly. The prophecy meant that Song Jingang wanted to rebel and replace him. However, he was not surprised that Song Jingang was actually in half now.
Every family has a difficult sutra to recite, and Qingzhou is no exception. Although Dou Jiande was the lord of Qingzhou, Qingzhou actually divided the world into three parts. Dou Jiande occupied Qi County, Lu County, Gaomi County, Liu Heita controlled Langya County, and Song Jingang controlled Beihai County.
He could have incorporated Liu Heita's army, but his plan failed because of his niece Dou Xianniang's escape from marriage. Liu Heita turned against him, but Liu Heita grew up with him and would not have the intention to kill him.
But Song Jingang is different. This man first rebelled against Wang Bafeng. It is rumored that Wang Bafeng was killed by him. Then he betrayed Liu Wuzhou. In the end, he was desperate and surrendered to him. This man had a rebellious heart at heart. If he wanted to occupy Beihai and take Qingzhou, it was entirely possible.
Song Jingang was extremely cunning and refused to leave Beihai County. He had invited him to Qi County three times. He just refused to come. It was difficult to kill him with a trick. He could only use a strong attack.
Dou Jiande walked around the room with a dark face. Kong Deshao knew what he was thinking, so he said carefully: "Prince, I think the origin of this prophecy is unknown. Maybe there is really something wrong with it. Will there be any conspiracy?"
Kong Deshao hesitated for a while before finally saying the word "conspiracy". Although Dou Jiande didn't want to listen, he felt that's it.
Dou Jiande snorted coldly, "You have to say that everything is a conspiracy, then who do you think this will be done by Yang Yuanqing? He is against Li Shimin in Hongnong County, so he can't care about me, or Li Mi. What's the point of provoking me? Since he is the master of the plan, he should understand that there is no wind and no waves. Don't talk about conspiracy like prophecies."
Kong Deshao's face turned a little pale, and prophecies have always been mysterious. They are usually taboos by superiors and are easily exploited by others. In fact, he also knew that there had always been a conflict between Dou Jiande and Song Jingang, but this contradiction was covered up.
Although Song Jingang also expressed his willingness to obey Dou Jiande's order, no superior was willing to control the territory and have an army under his command. The conflict between Dou Jiande and Song Jingang would break out sooner or later. Perhaps because of this prophecy, the cover that covered their conflicts would be lifted up at once.
Dou Jiande looked at the roof with his hands behind his back, and then said coldly: "I understand this matter. Thank you for explaining that I will consider the matter of Song Jingang by myself."
Kong Deshao understood that Dou Jiande had murderous intent in his heart, so he did not dare to say more, so he had no choice but to leave.
In the room, Dou Jiande was extremely worried. Sometimes he would numb himself. Whether Liu Heita and Song Jingang were his subordinates, they were different. In the past, there were many factions in his army, so didn’t he let him dispatch it? He also regarded him as his lord, and there was no big problem.
But this prophecy is like a dose of sobering up medicine, which makes him awake from the paralysis and has to face the reality. Song Jingang and Liu Heita are completely different from the previous faction. They just obey themselves on the surface, but in fact they have already established themselves as kings. If Dou Jiande wants to rebuild his country, these two people are two big stones that cannot be avoided, and they have to be solved first.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the door, and someone reported urgently at the door: "Prince, someone in Beihai County asked for a meeting, saying that it was the third housekeeper in Song Jingang's mansion, and said that there was a big deal to report to the prince."
Dou Jiande was stunned and immediately ordered: "Bring this person up."
After a moment, several guards brought a middle-aged man in. The man had a small nose and small eyes, and looked frowning. He knelt on his knees and crawled on the ground, "Little Min Li Afu, come to see the prince!"
Dou Jiande looked at him and saw that this person was a mediocre and miserable little man, and asked him: "Are you the butler of Song Jingang's mansion?"
"Report to the prince, the villain is the third housekeeper in his house, responsible for running errands and doing chores."
"Well! You have any major issues to report to me." Dou Jiande sat down, took a sip of tea and asked.
"Prince, about five days ago, Song Jingang secretly met a guest. My daughter was responsible for delivering tea. She said that Song Jingang called this person Mr. Xie and an official from the Sui Dynasty."
Dou Jiande's hand froze suddenly. He slowly put the teacup back on the table, stared at the butler and asked, "What does this person named Xie look like?"
"I am a scholar, about thirty years old, very thin, with a big black mole on the left side of his nose."
Dou Jiande's face changed drastically. He knew who this person was. Xie Sili, Yang Yuanqing's confidant, Dou Jiande's face was gloomy and terrifying. After a while, he asked again: "Do you know what they are talking about?"
"The villain didn't know that Song Jingang drove all his servants away. The doors and windows were closed, and his personal soldiers were all around him. No one was allowed to approach. They had been talking for about an hour."
"Bad!"
Dou Jiande punched him hard on the table, and the anger in his heart almost made him roar. Song Jingang had indeed secretly colluded with Yang Yuanqing again. Needless to say, Yang Yuanqing must have promised him some high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and Song Jingang was ready to rebel against him again.
His chest was undulating violently. After a while, he restrained his anger and asked the butler, "Why do you want to betray Song Jingang?"
The housekeeper kowtowed and said with tears in his eyes: "Just the night before yesterday, Song Jingang abused my daughter. My daughter resisted so hard and annoyed him. He rewarded my daughter to her personal soldiers. My daughter could not bear the humiliation. After she came back, she committed suicide by hanging herself. I went to him to argue, but he beat her up and drove her out of the mansion."
Speaking of Li Li, the housekeeper trembled and lifted his clothes. He saw that his back was covered in whip marks and bloody flesh, which was terrible. He knelt on the ground and burst into tears, "My miserable daughter!"
Seeing this, Dou Jiande completely believed in his heart that he was a generous person. Seeing that the butler was beaten extremely badly, he felt pity for him, so he ordered the guards, "Take him down to heal him. Reward him another hundred taels of silver!"
The housekeeper kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Prince! Thank you, Prince!"
The guard took the housekeeper down, Dou Jiande stood in front of the sand table with his hands behind his back, staring at Beihai County without saying a word, his eyes flashed with fierce light. At this time, he had completely believed that Song Jingang was going to betray him. The key was how Song Jingang wanted to collude with Yang Yuanqing? How would he act?
At this time, another guard came to report, "Prince, General Sun is here, there is an important military report."
"Send him in!"
Soon, a general hurried in. This person was a general under Dou Jiande, named Sun Fuling, who was responsible for the patrol of Qi County. He bowed and bowed, "Report to the prince, I have discovered some abnormal things in my humble position."
"What's up?"
"I heard from fishermen that the number of large ships overseas has increased significantly, and many of them are warships. I think it is very abnormal and I come to report it."
"Warship?"
Dou Jiande frowned. Where did the warship come from? Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. He walked quickly to the wall and opened the curtain with a whistle. There was a large map on the wall, which was much wider than his sand table, including Hebei and Liaodong.
Dou Jiande stared at Beihai County, where Laishui Bay was the largest harbor in Qingzhou. His eyes kept heading north and finally stopped at the mouth of Ruhekou in Beiping County. Ruhekou was the port of the Sui army, where there were hundreds of warships. Where would the sea warships in Qingzhou come from? They could only be warships of the Sui army.
At this moment, Dou Jiande's thoughts suddenly became clear. He knew how the Sui army was going to attack Qingzhou, and it was attacking from the water. So it was reasonable for Yang Yuanqing to bribe Song Jingang.
His own army is mainly concentrated in the west of Qi County and on the Yellow River, with empty backs. Once the Sui army landed in Laishui Bay, it would form a situation of attacking from both sides and back. At that time, Qingzhou would be in danger!
Dou Jiande immediately sweated profusely. He knew that as long as the Sui army finished the battle of the Central Plains, the next step was to deal with him, attacking at the same time by water and land, leaving him with little time.
Thinking of this, he could no longer sit down and ordered: "Prepare the carriage and go to the military camp immediately!"
.........
The housekeeper Li Afu walked out of the Dou Jiande's mansion with a hundred taels of silver. He bowed repeatedly and walked out of the city with great gratitude.
But not long after leaving the Duke of Dou Jiande's mansion, the humble expression on his face disappeared. He snorted coldly, walked quickly, walked to a rice shop, looked around, and saw that no one flashed and entered through the side door.
Walking to the backyard, a strong man bowed to him and said, "Personnel Li, has he succeeded?"
The man nodded, "It's successful now, but you must also pay attention to the mobilization of Dou Jiande's army. Once you find that his army is mobilized, you will immediately inform Taiyuan."
"Abide by the order!"
......
Two days later, Dou Jiande's army gathered in Licheng County and quickly marched towards Beihai County. Dou Jiande finally made up his mind to get rid of Song Jingang first. At this time, a goshawk took off from Licheng County and flapped his wings and flew towards Taiyuan.
