Chapter 157: Driving the Birds into the Cage (I)
At this time, the sound of clanging footsteps sounded, Dou Xian was anxious, and exclaimed: "Uncle, since ancient times, it is difficult to escape the disaster of killing, Lu Buwei committed suicide by drinking, and Lu Hou booby-trapped Han Xin, all of which are the same." Now that the emperor has ordered Geng Gong to lead troops to besiege Dou Mansion, is it really a man for swords and a fish for me? ”
Dou Gu said proudly: "Of course not! What happened to me in my life? Today, we rushed out of the encirclement and re-entered the palace, and we were going to ask the emperor face to face, what is the crime of the old minister, and he actually asked the imperial forest army to arrest him late at night, what is the difference between this and the case of Chu Wangying and Guangling Wang Jing back then! ”
"That's what Uncle said!" Dou Xian was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly thought: "With the help of the Southern and Northern Second Armies and the Heavenly Army, why are you afraid of Geng Gong?" When the time comes to enter the palace, we will immediately start and add the body of our uncle in a yellow robe, how can he call the shots at that time? If he becomes the emperor, hehe, this world, sooner or later it will be mine! ”
At this time, the sound of thousands of footsteps, like the beating of war drums, was very compelling. Dou Gu is a veteran of a hundred battles, he didn't panic at all, stroked his beard, and said: "Xian'er, go and gather the government soldiers, and together with the generals, kill out of the encirclement, and then make plans." After a pause, he said, "Open the treasury, move all the money out, and give it to everyone." ”
Dou Xian took the order and left. In a short time, the army was gathered, and the gold and silver were also brought out, piled up, shining in the candlelight, shining dazzlingly. Dou Gu said in a deep voice: "I, Dou Gu, have done my best to live up to the court, but the court has failed me and besieged Dou Mansion." Together with all of you, if a boat on the sea capsizes at any time, it is very dangerous, and now I will give you gold and silver, and I hope that you will work hard to move forward and tide over the difficulties together. The crowd rejoiced and was greatly encouraged, and the cry shook the heavens.
Dou Xian stepped forward and deliberately shouted: "No, no, these gold and silver, my uncle crisscrossed the battlefield, fought horses all his life, won them with blood and sweat, and it was not easy to come by, if all of them are given to everyone, won't Dou Mansion have nothing?" ”
Dou Gu sighed: "I don't know! The gold and silver here are all obtained by me fighting the battlefield with a knife and a gun. He walked straight forward, picked up a gold brick casually, cast the words "Jingwu to serve the country" on it, and said: "This is the time of the expedition to Bailu, in a heavy siege, I led the army to fight to the death, three days and three nights, clothes do not take off the armor, not a drop of water, rice does not enter, sleepless, dozens of wounds, finally through the siege, defeat into victory." When the first emperor saw it, he was very moved, praised me for my bravery, immediately undressed and gave it away, and ordered the ceremonial official to cast this gold brick, which was engraved with the words "Jingwu to serve the country". Speaking of this, Dou Gu suddenly threw the gold brick in his hand on the ground, and said sharply: "The first emperor regarded me as Zhou Bo and leaned on the Great Wall, but in the eyes of the emperor, I was Dong Zhuo!" What is the use of me keeping this gold and silver? If I am captured tonight, and the gold and silver are confiscated, I will be nothing more than a miser. Rather than this, it is better to reward the kings, may the kings work hard, break out of the encirclement, and he will share the wealth in the future! ”
When everyone heard this, they were all moved. Lu Wuqi shouted: "General Dou treats each other like this, how can we be responsible for each other?" Even if blood is splashed with dust today, we have to fight to the death! He paused, walked to the pile of gold and silver, picked up a few pieces, put them in his arms, and said, "I will keep the gold and silver for General Dou first, and then return it to General Dou when I get out of the encirclement!" ”
Everyone was boiling, went to take each other, and after a while, the gold and silver were exhausted, and everyone said in unison: "Keep the gold and silver for General Dou first, and then return it when you get out of the encirclement!" The shouts shook the sky and the fighting spirit was high.
Dou Gu was overjoyed, knowing that the army's heart was available, and said: "Go, kill out!" ”
At this time, a Biao army rushed into the house, and the first person was the one, with sword eyebrows and bright eyes, wrapped in battle armor, majestic, it was Geng Gong. Dou Gu's face was cold, and he said coldly: "Captain Geng, you are so bold, you dare to lead troops into the Great Sima and Great General's Mansion!" ”
Geng Gong was not afraid, took out the holy decree from his arms, his face sank, and he raised his voice: "There is an edict to capture the thief!" He coughed lightly and read the decree aloud. Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect that the emperor would really send someone to arrest Dou Gu. After Geng Gong finished reading, he closed the holy decree, inserted it into his arms, and said: "The sin is only one person, and it has nothing to do with others!" If you help Liu, please expose your left shoulder; Those who help Dou's, please show your right shoulder! ”
Everyone hesitated, Dou Gu looked at Xue Ba, Xue Ba jumped out, tore his clothes, exposed his right shoulder, and shouted: "What is General Dou's crime?" The emperor wants to arrest him? Under the nest, there will be no eggs! Of course we help sinus, so what's the point of hesitation? When they heard this, they all showed their right shoulder.
Dou Gu said: "Captain Geng, I will fight on the battlefield with your brother Geng Bing, and I have made many military exploits, what is the crime?" Now that the emperor ordered you to arrest me, wouldn't the emperor be suspicious of you in other days? My today is your tomorrow! ”
Geng Gong said coldly: "I only know that I am loyal to the emperor, even if the emperor wants to kill me, I have no regrets!" General Dou, you might as well be arrested! ”
Dou Gu was silent, Dou Xian was furious, shook his sword in the air, and shouted: "Kill out!" "Scoop up and take Geng Gong directly. Dou Du, Lu Wuqi, Xue Ba and others also killed the past, and there was a sudden chaos in the house, the two armies fought, a sword and sword shadow, and the screams were endless.
Where can Dou Xian fight Geng Gong? After more than ten battles, he was at a disadvantage. Xue Ba said: "The little general retreats, and I will meet him later." Dou Xian flashed to the side, Xue Ba swung his sword up, grabbed Geng Gong's sword, and the two fought together. Xue Ba is worthy of being the commander of the Northern Army, a knife weighs more than 100 catties, and he carries it in his hand, but it seems to have nothing, and he dances, like a dragon out of a hole, and Geng Gong has fought for fifty or sixty rounds, and he is not up or down. And the morale of the Dou Fu soldiers is high, they only know how to move forward, they don't know how to retreat, Dou Gu has gathered all his henchmen and generals, where can the Royal Forest Army fight? was killed in all directions, crying bitterly, fortunately, the Imperial Forest Army has always been fierce, although it can't fight, but gritted its teeth to bear it. When Geng Gong saw it, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, knowing that success or failure was in this move, he brushed two swords, killed Xue Ba, the sword changed to a straight point, and directly took Dou Gu, Xue Ba was startled, ran up, and shouted: "Don't hurt my master!" "Who knew that Geng Gong's move was a sound to hit the east and west, and suddenly backhanded a sword, Xue Ba was caught off guard, a sword penetrated his chest, blood gushed like a spring, and his life was whimpered.
As soon as Xue Ba died, Lu Wuqi was grief-stricken, rushed forward, hugged Xue Ba, tears rained down, and called: "Brother, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you......" But where can Xue Ba still make a sound? Lu Wuqi put down Xue Ba, shouted, and ran forward, stabbing Geng Gong with a sword.
