On the streets of Leshou, Shandong, everyone is talking about this matter. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Ugh! Did you hear that? ”

"What did you hear?"

"I heard that Youzhou is preparing to march into Shandong."

"Youzhou Luo Yi?"

"No, it won't!"

"How not? A relative of mine, is a merchant in Taiyuan and Youzhou, a few days ago, he went to Taiyuan to do business, and when he came back, he passed through Youzhou, and heard a news when he was in Taiyuan, and because of this news, Youzhou is now reorganizing the soldiers and horses, and is ready to enter the army We are happy. ”

"Hmmm! What's the news!? ”

"General Liu Wuzhou, who gained power in the area of Dingxiang in the southern part of the Turkic Desert, is dead."

"No, it won't! Didn't it mean that General Liu Wuzhou got the true inheritance of the gods and became the great shaman on the grassland that everyone complimented? ”

"Hey! That Liu Wuzhou worships the evil god on the grassland, how can our Royal Highness the Crown Prince be the disciple of Taishang Laojun. ”

"That's right! Where is the evil god of the grassland, where is our Central Plains god with great powers! ”

"That's it, on that day, our King Dou pressed on Youzhou Luo Yi step by step, if it weren't for the Eastern Turks and Liu Wuzhou in the north, I'm afraid Luo Yi would have sent troops to attack him."

"That's ......" (after Ran Min issued the order to kill Hu, the Hu people who entered the Central Plains automatically began to learn from the Han people, so that no matter which grassland ethnic group the Central Plains Han people entered the Central Plains, the Central Plains Han people never thought that they were destroyed, and they were very proud of their culture and religion.) Of course, in addition to the Mongols and Manchus, the Mongols despised the culture of the Han Chinese, and in the Yuan Dynasty established by the Mongols, if the Yuan emperor liked to read Han books, it would generally not end well. In the Qing Dynasty established by the Manchus, the emperor liked to read some Han books, but he didn't really look up to the Han people in his bones. Otherwise, there would be no messy ancestral system. And in Cao Dan's mansion, after Cao Dan heard the news of Liu Wuzhou's death in the Turks, he has been paying attention to the news in Luoyang, and the military report that Zhang Qing's special grain convoy was robbed reached Le Shou, Cao Dan was like an ant on a hot pot, and then, Dou Jiande's messenger who came to urge the grain came to Le Shou, and Cao Dan was even more shocked three times a day.

"Lord Cao, King Dou wants me to ask you, how did Zhang Qingte's grain transportation route leak?"

"Ahh Answering the angel, the official is also secretly inquiring about this matter, and I believe that it will be possible to find out who leaked the secret in a few days? ”

"Hmmm! Lord Cao, King Dou also hopes that Lord Cao will quickly escort another batch of grain and grass to relieve King Dou's urgent need to burn coal! ”

"Yes! Angel, please rest assured, the next official will definitely do it! After Cao Dan sent Dou Jiande's messenger away, he came to the house of his brother-in-law Heng Guangyuan.

"Yo! It's my brother-in-law! Brother-in-law, why didn't you bring my nephew and my sister with you? Cao Dan responded in vain, and secretly said to Heng Guangyuan:

"Brother Guangyuan, I can't hide it, I came here today to find Lord Xu, where is Lord Xu?" Heng Guangyuan replied quietly:

"Hehehe! Brother-in-law, Lord Xu already knew that you would come, and I heard the news on the street, and I also told you that the news that Luo Yi's soldiers and horses were about to arrive was sent out by me, and the sky was about to change. Brother-in-law, you have to pay attention to what you say! Cao Dan nodded, and was then taken to a secret room by Heng Guangyuan. Xu Jingzong was facing a pot of wine there, and there were several delicious dim sum and side dishes in front of him.

"Yo! Lord Cao, Evergrande is in charge, you are all here, come and come! The official is worried that there is no one to drink with the official? Come on, come on! These exquisite hearts and this high-quality wine, it is too lonely for the official to drink alone. Come! Together. Cao Dan waved his hand to Xu Jingzong and said:

"Lord Xu, thank you, Lord Xu is really leisurely! I think that at the beginning, when the official and Lord Xu first met, Lord Xu was 'skinny', but now, I can't imagine that Lord Xu is full of red face! Moreover, Cao Dan observed carefully and found that Xu Jingzong's waist circumference seemed to have become thicker. Xu Jingzong probably saw Cao Dan's eyes, and touched his stomach embarrassedly:

"Oops! Lord Cao is really joking, when the official was in Chang'an, he was busy with official business, and now he has arrived in the land of Qilu in Shandong, and he eats and sleeps every day, and there is nothing else to do. Well! I don't know what Lord Cao is here for today!? Cao Dan scolded in his heart: 'What! I'm really pretending to be confused, I'm here, don't you know? However, Cao Dan didn't dare to lose any temper with Xu Jingzong, and now he only hoped that after Li Tang came, he would be able to enjoy the high-ranking officials.

"Lord Xu, now I don't sell Guanzi anymore, today, this official is here, just to stay in the afternoon and die, and the grain protection team of General Zhang Qingte sent by this official has also been robbed, so I specially asked Lord Xu Jingzong for a plan to settle down." Xu Jingzong smiled in his heart - hum! What does it mean to ask the official for a plan to settle down, didn't he already point it out to you at the beginning? When we get rid of General Zhang Qingte's grain protection team, you will completely cut off Dou Jiande's grain route, what? Do you want me to teach you? Xu Jingzong didn't answer, just drank vigorously and drank alcohol. Cao Dan kept waiting, but Xu Jingzong just didn't talk to Cao Dan, and Cao Dan knew it:

"Lord Xu, I won't say much else! Xia Guan just wants to say, may I ask Lord Xu, will Luo Yi really attack Le Shou? Xu Jingzong looked at Cao Dan with drunken eyes and did not speak:

"Lord Xu, the lower officials understand, please rest assured, as long as General Luo Yi's soldiers arrive, the lower officials will surrender immediately, and when the time comes, Dou Jiande's soldiers and horses will be self-defeating." Xu Jingzong nodded:

"Lord Cao, what a smart person!" After Cao Dan and Heng Guangyuan left, Xu Jingzong's eyes slowly brightened:

"Humph! Master Cao, I, Xu Jingzong, have been dealing with you for so long, and I don't know you, if I begged you to do it, you wouldn't do it at all, and if you take the initiative to do it yourself, then you can definitely do it! "Cao Dan returned to his mansion and thought about it carefully - when Dou Jiande left, although he appointed me as the left-behind minister, he appointed his nephew Dou Quan as the deputy left-behind minister, and since King Dou wanted to establish the Dou family as the heir, many of the people I have suppressed over the years have either defected to Dou Bao or defected to Dou Quan. If I don't turn Dou Quan away, then I can't do anything I want to do, and I really can't do it! No way! I have to find a way to get the sinus out of the way. Also, this Dou Jiande has won the hearts of the people here, if I don't force them, I'm afraid that in the future, even if Luo Yi's army arrives, I won't be able to surrender to Li Tang immediately. Cao Dan thought about it all night, and finally came up with a clever plan, and came to the barracks early the next morning:

"Everyone, I believe you have heard it today, now in this Leshou City, rumors are spreading, and now people's hearts are floating, for the great cause of King Dou, and in order to calm people's hearts, therefore, this official ordered that no one should talk about the robbery of Zhang Qingte's grain and grass, and the news should be strictly sealed. I hope that all the generals can restrain their subordinate soldiers in their eyes and let them not talk nonsense outside! ”

"Yes! Obey your orders. Later, Dou Jiande's nephew, Dou Quan, who stayed in the barracks, was found.

"Ahh Lord Dou Quan! ”

"Lord Cao, please tell me if you have anything!" Since Dou Jiande began to reveal that he wanted to choose an heir from among his nephews, Dou Jiande's two nephews, Dou Bao and Dou Quan, not only secretly began to compete. In order to alleviate the contradictions, Dou Jiande brought Dou Bao with him when he was crusading against Luoyang, and put Dou Quan in Shandong to stay with Cao Dan, and Cao Dan also knew in his heart that this was Dou Jiande secretly guarding against himself and preventing himself from being the king in Shandong. And at the beginning, Dou Bao and Dou Quan regarded Cao Dan as their number one opponent in the fight for the throne of Qilu, and reported Cao Dan's corruption in front of Dou Jiande from time to time. Therefore, Dou Quan's tone of speech to Cao Dan is not so good.

"Ahh Lord Dou Quan! I'm sure you've read the military newspaper a few days ago......"

"Yes, General Ben has read the military newspaper, but what does this have to do with General Ben?"

"Ahh General Dou Shao'an is not impatient! Please listen to the general explain a thing or two! Cao Dan said to Dou Quan in a low voice:

"The general also knows that due to the annual war, most of the strong men in this Shandong area have been recruited into the army, and the recent harvest is not good, so this military ration is really difficult to raise? Xiaguan hopes to ...... this time" Before Cao Dan finished speaking, Dou Quan interrupted Cao Dan's words:

"What does this matter have to do with me, the military rations are insufficient, what are you Lord Cao doing to eat, now, my uncle is in Luoyang The military situation is urgent, so you can quickly raise grain and grass and transport it to the front of the army." Cao Dan's face was a little unsightly-you little rabbit cub, a child whose hair has not yet grown, dared to talk like this in front of me, no matter how you say it, I am also a legitimate stay-at-all, and you are a deputy left-behind to speak to me so unkindly. Cao Dan forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart:

"General Dou, it's okay for the official to go out to raise grain and grass, but this credit can go to the official. Moreover, didn't the general ever complain, saying that staying behind is not better than fighting on the front line to make credit, besides, once King Dou defeated Li Shimin and conquered Luoyang, he would ascend the throne as the emperor in Luoyang, and after ascending the throne, it was a matter of establishing the prince, General Dou Bao helped King Dou attack the city and plunder the land during this time, and made great achievements, and General Dou You are pampered here, leisurely, if you don't make some contributions, I am afraid that the position of the prince will be General Dou Bao in the future. As soon as Dou Quan heard Cao Dan's words, he immediately bowed down and thanked Cao Dan:

"What Lord Cao said is, thank you Lord Cao for mentioning it. General Ben will go right away. Dou Quan immediately led his subordinate soldiers and horses out of the city to various places in Leshou to raise money and food. Originally, due to war and conscription in the Hebei region of Shandong, the people had very little grain in stock, and in order to win the hearts of the people, Dou Jiande never grabbed grain from the people, but only sent caravans to exchange grain with sea salt to Jiangnan and Jingchu, and even opened warehouses to release grain from time to time. And Dou Quan, for his own great achievement, saw that he couldn't collect grain and grass, so he ordered to grab grain everywhere, which made Dou Jiande complain. When Dou Quan returned to Leshou, the name of 'Dou Yan King (Dou Quan)" was spread everywhere in the Shandong Territory.

"Ahh General Dou is really young and promising, and he raised so much grain and grass at once. ”

"Where, where! This is all Master Cao's foresight. Cao Dan looked at the grain trucks, and suddenly frowned:

"General Dou, now that the grain and grass are complete, it is really ...... for this escort candidate" Dou Quan immediately asked:

"Lord Cao, please rest assured, this matter of grain and grass escort, General Ben will go in person."

"Ahh Then there is General Laudou. The next day, Cao Dan looked at Dou Quanyuan's figure, and Cao Dan said with a smile on the city tower:

"Humph! Dou Quan, just wait! I am waiting to hear the good news of your defeat and death. ”
