Chapter 342: True Strength
Huo Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, put your heart at ease, I have an old relationship with your master, and I will definitely not embarrass you; In a while, whether you leave or stay, I will never say a word. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Dou Xianniang had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the sound of footsteps outside; Then he ran in and said: "The lord of Qiyu Castle, there is a young man of Beiping, Paul Cheng, who is leading a sentry to ask for a meeting. ”
Huo Yu laughed and said, "Okay! The people who have been waiting have finally arrived! Go and tell him, let him stay out and go into the city alone. The dealer said yes and turned to go out.
When Dou Xianniang heard that Luo Cheng was coming, her face was slightly red for no reason, and her heart was pounding like a deer. Several maids were even more nervous, and they all glared at Huo Yu angrily.
After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and several bankers brought in a beautiful guy, but it was Luo Chengluo blatantly.
Luo Cheng suddenly saw that Dou Xianniang was also there, and was stunned there; Then Cang Chang took out his sword and shouted, "Huo Ji, what do you mean by this?" Can you dare to deceive me? ”
Huo Jian smiled and said: "Don't be angry, Shaobao, we are still a family; This Dou Linniang is not an outsider; If we have something to say, let's all sit down and talk. Someone! Serve tea! ”
Luo Cheng and Dou Xianniang didn't know what medicine he bought in the gourd, so they sat on the chairs helplessly; It didn't take long for someone to serve tea. Luo Cheng asked, "Huo Ji, who are you?" If you don't make it clear today, your Huo's Fort will not want to exist for a day.
"Luo Shaobao has a big temper?" Someone laughed and spun out from behind. Luo Cheng and Dou Xianniang turned their heads to see that this was a young scribe, although this person was down, but there was a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes; It's chilling. They looked at each other and saw that the other didn't know who he was.
The man laughed and said, "Okay, let's not joke with these two little mandarin ducks, let me introduce you first, my name is Zhang Liang; Now he is the deputy head of the Great Demon Kingdom. This Huo Wei turned out to be a warrior under Zhang Ding, the chief of our navy, and was ordered to establish Huo's Fort and supervise every move in Hebei. ”
"The Great Demon Kingdom?" "Fifth brother?" Luo Cheng and Dou Xianniang exclaimed in unison.
"How? Everyone understands! "Luo Shaobao, don't worry, Miss Dou shouldn't be afraid; Your master, Nie Yinniang, was also once the general of the Zhang family in Yangzhou, and like this Huo Wei, he was the disciple of our chief manager Zhang Ding; And they are still brother and sister; We're not going to embarrass you. But it's impossible for you to attack Fort Huo's. ”
Dou Xianniang smiled bitterly for a while: "In that case, why did you bother to bring me over?" Zhang Liang smiled: "We are not to blame for this matter, this is your master's request." She said you're nineteen; I don't even have an in-law. He asked us to help out of it. No, I'll let Lord Hoburgh bring you here. ”
Dou Xianniang and Luo Cheng's faces flushed, and they wanted to have a seizure but couldn't do it; Dou Xianniang's maid said: "You don't want to deceive people too much; Our Xia Wang and Luo Yi are not together; How could our princess marry him. ”
"The little girl has long hair and short knowledge, and the general trend of the world will be in place for a long time. Now the enemy will be a family in less than two years. Don't worry about it. ”
"Nonsense! Marriage events, parents' orders, matchmakers' words! Our Xia King will never agree! ”
Zhang Liang said: "This time, that time; Now the king of Xia does not agree, and perhaps he will agree later; Who can say this thing clearly? Besides, he is a teacher for one day and a father for life, and Nie Yinniang is also his elder! Who agrees that it's not all the same?
Okay, the parties haven't objected yet, what are you talking nonsense about. Come on, let's all go out for a walk; It's not easy for the two of them to meet, so let's have a good exchange! ”
Saying that, Zhang Liang coaxed everyone out, and there were only two people left in the hall, Luo Cheng and Dou Xianniang. Luo Cheng took out a golden marble for a long time, and said, "Your marble, return it, return it to you." ”
Dou Xianniang glanced at him and said, "That made you pay it back, do you still want to go back with your arrowless arrows?" ”
Luo Cheng hurriedly put it away and said: "Don't want it, don't want it, just take it as a token of our love!" ”
"Phew, shameless, who wants to make a deal with you. Besides, your dignified prince of Peking can take a fancy to me, a wild girl? Can your parents agree? ”
Luo Cheng smiled: "What a wild girl, aren't you also Princess Yong'an?" My father didn't agree that I could go and ask my mother, but my mother was kind and would definitely agree. If they don't agree, we'll elope. ”
"Elopement?" Dou Xianniang unbelievably grew her mouth; Luo Cheng said excitedly: "Yes! Elope! Just go to my fifth brother's territory in the Great Demon Kingdom of Shandong! Actually, I've wanted to go to the Great Demon Kingdom for a long time.
Don't you know that my fifth brother is really a strange person, don't look at his statement that he is not as good as Wagang, Li Tang, you Xia Guo is prominent; But if you really want to fight, the three of you together are not necessarily opponents of others. “
"It can't be! Li Tang, Wagang, and our Great Xia Kingdom have nearly a million people. controlled a large area of land in the Central Plains; The Great Demon Kingdom has only one Shandong at best, how can it be against the soldiers and horses of the three families? ”
Luo Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "The gap is here." When these people are still fighting for the Central Plains. The Great Demon Kingdom has already conquered Goguryeo and Wa Kingdom, which are the land of two states. thought that Yang Guang's army of three million people lost the whole country back then; Nor is there anything done; Unexpectedly, the Great Demon Kingdom was completed. ”
"It can't be!" Dou Xianniang exclaimed; "Goguryeo is the overlord who has been dominating the country for 600 years and has always dominated the Guanwai, how could it be defeated by the Great Demon Kingdom?"
"I didn't believe it at first, but the facts are right in front of me; I've been to Liaodong, I've been to Pyongyang; Now the Great Demon Kingdom is actively promoting the sinicization of these places, and in a hundred years, there will be no more Goguryeo and Wa kingdoms in this world, only the Han people will remain!
Line mother, the eldest husband should expand the territory and promote the outside of the territory; I've wanted to go to the Great Demon Kingdom for a long time. There's one more thing you might not know. Last year, the Great Demon Kingdom fought a war with the Turks, and hundreds of thousands of Turks fled by him; Tuli directly gave up the hundred-mile prairie and did not dare to approach Liaodong at all. The Turkic people, who are fearful of tigers in our eyes, are no different from a big cat in front of the Great Demon Kingdom. ”
Dou Xianniang was stunned for a long time before sighing and said: "In vain, we still call ourselves heroes, and we are complacent for the little strength in our hands; I guess people don't take us to heart at all. ”
Luo Cheng smiled: "So, you don't have to worry about your family's opposition; I befriended the demon king Chitose Hachibai; It's a big deal, let's no longer participate in the dispute between the two companies, and start a new business overseas. ”
Dou Xianniang's face was red, but there was a little more hope in her eyes; The more they talked, the more speculative they became; Slowly, they exchanged tokens and made a private decision for life.
Seeing that noon had arrived, Huo Yu invited the two out and said, "I just received information; Zhang Gongjin defeated Su Dingfang in Yongnu County. Su Dingfang has fled back to the camp in Youzhou, and your plan to capture Yongnu and Huo's Fort has failed. Girl, what are your plans, do you want to stay with me and elope with this kid or go back? ”
Dou Xianniang blushed and said, "Seniors are really good at joking. How can the informant not say goodbye; I decided to go back to Xia to persuade my father to stop the war. ”
Huo Jian smiled: "It's okay! Then I will keep you no more; I hope you can persuade your father to withdraw from the army, and our Wu Yue will become Qin Jin; It's good to form an alliance forever. ”
Then they sent Dou Xianniang out, but left Luo Cheng behind. Dou Xianniang turned around step by step and led the team back to the Youzhou camp.
The defeat of sending troops to Yongnu and Huo's Fort made Dou Jiande furious; This period of smooth sailing has made him not taste failure for a long time. I didn't expect to go to Youzhou, but there were problems one after another.
Military advisor Song Zhengben said: "Don't worry, I still have a plan to break Luo Yi." There are many contradictions between this Luo Yi's domination of Youzhou and Yan Wang's high opening of the road. Gao Kaidao annexed Gao Tansheng's men and horses, and his strength soared; This man is insatiable; We just need to promise more benefits; He must be happy to send troops. When the time comes, we will attack from the north and south, and we will definitely be able to break Luo Yi. ”
Dou Jiande thought so, and then discussed with everyone to arrange for Kong Dezhao to be an envoy to Yan State, and asked Gao Kaidao to send troops. Kong Dezhao agreed, brought gifts, and Liang Tingfang led 500 soldiers to protect and go to Yan State.
After Dou Xianniang came back, she was a little depressed. Dou Jiande also thought that she was sad because of the defeat in the attack on Huo's Fort; He called his daughter to him and told her that victory or defeat is a common thing in a soldier's family, and there is no need to take it too seriously.
Dou Xianniang sighed and said, "Father, do you think we can really win the world?" Dou Jiande smiled: "My daughter doesn't have to worry about this; Now the general trend of the world; We stand with Li Tang and Wagang. When the Wagang Rebellion was the first to occupy the sky, Li Tang sat in Guanzhong and had a geographical advantage; The father holds the jade seal of the country, which is equivalent to the destiny of heaven; He bears the hope of all peoples, but is man.
The time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people; We don't dare to say that we will definitely win the world, but we have the greatest chance! ”
Dou Xianniang said suddenly: "Father, what about the other anti-kings?" What if there is a stronger anti-king eyeing him? ”
"And? Xiao Jue in Jiangnan or Du Fuwei in Jianghuai? They have some strength; However, Xiao Jue is lonely in Jiangnan and congenitally insufficient. This person has no ambitions and just wants to be in a safe corner; No worries. Duvowe was a hero, but he succeeded too late, and his subordinates were mixed; He and Fu Gongyou competed for power and held each other back; Internal insecurity is not a cause for concern. ”
Dou Xianniang asked tentatively: "Father once admired the Great Demon Country, what do you think of the Great Demon Kingdom?" ”
"Cheng Zhijie? This guy looks like a hero; But then it became more and more out of tune; It is estimated that the background relationship is not high-style. Now that they are surrounded by our Xia Kingdom and Wagang, it is difficult for them to do anything anymore. ”
