Dou Jiande saw the eagle in the sky spread its wings, and doubts rose in his heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, the horse galloped forward, Hai Dongqing galloped back, and in an instant, the eagle in the sky turned into a black spot and disappeared into the Taihang Mountain, Dou Jiande didn't want to delay the journey, and continued to move forward with everyone.

The eagle hovered in the Taihang Mountain, and after the tea effort, suddenly its wings fluttered, and it fell rapidly, reaching the top of a mountain, and landed beside a person.

That person is Sun Shaofang!

Sun Shaofang saw the eagle flying down, stretched out his hand and beckoned: "Xiaoqing, it's hard work, thanks to you for discovering the whereabouts of King Changle, go and inform them." ”

He quickly wrote a few words on the paper with fine charcoal, tied it to the eagle's leg, and stretched out his hand to the north, and the eagle fluttered its wings as if it understood, and disappeared with the note. Sun Shaofang shook his head, secretly thinking that if he hadn't been there, most of the people who talked about the current situation would have regarded him as a lie.

He was ordered to check the movements of the Hebei Army in Hanoi County, and in fact, he had tracked the whereabouts of Su Dingfang's troops, but Xiao Buyi had no order to attack, as long as he searched, it was because he sent people to monitor the movements of Su Dingfang's troops, and the rest of his men continued to the east. The eastern part of Hanoi was already within the strength of the Hebei Army, and Sun Shaofang and others were either disguised or went out day and night to monitor the movements of the Gongcheng.

The helper that Sun Shaofang brought with him was called Eagle Eye, and now it can really be said that it is worthy of the name, because they have a Hai Dongqing in their hands that can be used. Hai Dongqing has a broad vision, when Dou Jiande and others went out of the city, they were discovered by Sun Shaofang and others, of course Hai Dongqing did not know Dou Jiande, only recognized someone haunted, but it was Sun Shaofang who observed in the mountainside who recognized Dou Jiande.

Hai Dongqing's ability to know that people haunt has brought great convenience to Xiao Buyi's eagle eye. After all, in this era, aerial reconnaissance is still an incredible thing, and of course, this kind of reconnaissance is also extremely superficial, and it still needs the human eye to determine.

This is thanks to the divine skills of Pulsatilla, but to convert Hai Dongqing into military use, it also needs to be supported by Xiao Buyi's unbelievable ideas.

In the eyes of this gang of men, King Xiliang is not only brave in battle and smart in mind, but also able to think that others dare not think. The idea of using birds to convey information and using birds to spot enemy tracks is an idea that even if the Pulsatilla hears it, he is excited.

Fortunately, Xiao Buyi's idea, Pulsatilla was able to partially support it, and Hai Dongqing discovered the enemy's traces and notified Sun Shaofang. Sun Shaofang immediately took people to the route that the other party might pass through and waited in advance, saw Dou Jiande going north, wrote down his whereabouts, and then asked Hai Dongqing to inform Changping's bat.

Turning his head to look over, seeing Sinan looking at him, Sun Shaofang said: "Dou Jiande went to Changping, and they all said that this person's martial arts are extremely skillful, you ...... Be careful. ”

Sinan nodded, went down the mountain without hurry, followed the horseshoe prints all the way north, and gradually turned into a black dot and disappeared into the vast plains.

She doesn't ride a horse, her steps are light, and she doesn't seem to put the wind and snow in her eyes, Sun Shaofang saw it, shook her head and smiled bitterly, and said in her heart This lone woman always has an indescribable fascination. This kind of snow, men have a headache when they encounter it, but she treats it as if she is idle!

Dou Jiande rushed all the way to Lingchuan County in Changping.

The three counties of Hanoi, Changping and Shangdang are all surrounded by mountains, the terrain is rugged, the land can be said to be barren, and the people are not many. There are two big cities built in Changping County, which form a line from south to north, one is Danchuan, and the other is Changping Pass. Changping Pass chokes the ground, and Shangdang across the mountains, Xiao Buyi has already sent heavy troops to guard, Danchuan is regarded as the population concentration in Changping County, Xiao Buyi is also sent Yin Shanda heavy troops to station.

In addition to these two big cities, the rest of the counties and townships such as Lingchuan, Duanshi, and Qinshui are all weakly garrisoned, and the population is not large.

Lingchuan is dozens of miles east of Danchuan, and after Wang Fubao broke Lingchuan, he was temporarily stationed here.

When Dou Jiande arrived at Lingchuan, the sky was still vast white. When the Hebei army saw King Changle coming, they all cheered and their morale was greatly boosted. From this point of view, Dou Jiande and Li Mi are very different, Li Mi is a letter with prestige, but Dou Jiande is a man with virtue.

The soldiers were all kind, and Wang Fubao led the generals to welcome Dou Jiande into the big tent of the Chinese army. Without waiting for greetings, Dou Jiande asked the unrelated generals to retreat, leaving only Wang Fubao and a few other henchmen in the tent, and asked softly: "What is the situation now?" ”

Wang Fubao frowned, "King Changle, Yin Shanda can't go out of retreat, and the end will be ......incompetent."

"As expected, it doesn't hurt, this can be seen as our first meeting, but it's a test of reality." Dou Jiande waved his hand and said, "What I want to know is...... How about Li Jiancheng? ”

Li Jiancheng secretly came to join the party, just north of Changping, and few people in the Hebei army knew about it. However, Wang Fubao, Su Dingfang, Liu Heimin and others all know. This time, the Hebei Army sent troops, in addition to using Luo Shixin to contact Xu Yuanlang, Li Jiancheng's department was a strange soldier.

Wang Fubao frowned and said, "King Changle, Li Daoxuan's death is extremely unfavorable to our situation. After I received Gao Yaxian's news, I immediately sent someone to the party...... But he was killed by Qiu Xinggong! ”

Gao Yaxian had already arrived in Changping, and was standing aside at this moment, and when he heard the words, he said: "This Qiu Xinggong is really too deceitful!" ”

A general, Cao Zhan, echoed: "That's true, General Gao has done his best to him, and Li Daoxuan's death is not what we want." But not only did he want to kill General Gao, but he also robbed the general's mount, and now he killed our messenger, what the hell is going on? ”

The generals of Hebei were all angry, and there were many discussions, Dou Jiande waved his hand, and everyone was immediately silent.

Here, Dou Jiande undoubtedly has the highest prestige, "Yaxian, tell me in detail what happened last night." He was silent, and after listening to Gao Yaxian say everything, he sighed: "This thing would not have happened, and Dingfang is really a little impulsive." But so far, complaining is useless, and we can only think of ways to make up for it. It's just that Li Daoxuan came, but it was a sudden decision, how could someone rob and kill on the road? ”

Wang Fubao said: "King Changle, you mean ......" He stopped talking, his eyes showed anger, but Gao Junya was shocked and said: "King Changle, you said that there are annihilators in the army?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar. All the generals here followed Dou Jiande from birth to death, and it is really unimaginable to say that there are annihilations.

Dou Jiande pondered for a long time, "Li Daoxuan came, and we are indeed the only ones who know his whereabouts, Li Daoxuan was killed, and Qiu Xinggong blamed us, which is also understandable." ”

"If you know which one is annihilation, Lao Tzu peeled his skin!" Gao Yaxian sent a table case and shouted angrily: "Is he still human? ”

Dou Jiande sighed and said, "Yaxian, you have done a good job, don't be angry." There is really a fine annihilation, but I'm afraid that I may not be able to resist him! ”

As soon as he said this, the generals were in an uproar, and Wang Fubao knelt on the ground and said: "King Changle is as kind to us as a mountain, if anyone betrays, he can only say that his conscience has been eaten by dogs." ”

The generals knelt down one after another and said: "Why did King Changle say this, if we find out the rebellious ......"

King Changle waved his hand, "The matter of rebellion, no longer mention!" ”

Although everyone is unwilling, they are not surprised, Dou Jiande often convinces people with virtue, he doesn't want to mention this matter again, everyone knows that he sincerely hopes that his brother will repent, but in this way, the reaction has cheapened the annihilation.

Gao Yaxian sighed: "If that person ......"

Dou Jiande shook his head, diverted the topic, and said in a deep voice: "Li Daoxuan's death is not trivial, Fu Bao, Yaxian, you arrange manpower, I want to find Li Jiancheng to talk about it personally!" ”

Wang Fubao was surprised and said: "King Changle, you are the body of a daughter, how can you easily risk yourself?" ”

Dou Jiande pondered for a long time, "If I hadn't gone to peace talks, I was afraid that the alliance with Li Tang would soon collapse." You can rest assured, Li Jiancheng is a mature and stable person, and he knows the general situation, and he should understand my mind. ”

Everyone saw that he had made up his mind, and could only arrange negotiations, and after Wang Fubao waited for the generals to leave, he saw that Dou Jiande was still groaning, and said in a low voice: "King Changle, Li Daoxuan is extremely conceited, and in order to facilitate his secret actions, when he came to Changping, he only brought Qiu Xinggong and Shi Wanbao by his side. When I went to Hanoi, I was afraid of accidents, so I specially asked Gao Yaxian, Wang Xiaohu, and Dong Kang to buy a few people to escort me. In that line, there are a total of twelve Hebei Army ......"

"What are you going to say?" Dou Jiande asked.

Wang Fubao smiled bitterly: "Their whereabouts are hidden, if there is really a annihilation, it must be these twelve people." But I think ...... Gao Yaxian, Wang Xiaohu, and Dong Kang are the most suspicious! ”

"I said it...... The matter is no longer pursued. Dou Jiande said in a deep voice.

Wang Fubao was puzzled and said: "King Changle, if this person doesn't find out, I'm only afraid that it will be bad for you." ”

Dou Jiande smiled, "It's okay, I believe...... These people were born and died with me, but they were just a momentary delusion, and we ...... He should be given a chance. ”

Wang Fubao said angrily: "King Changle is kind-hearted, I just hope that person will find his way back, otherwise I will be the first to kill him!" ”

Dou Jiande smiled, "Fu Bao, you have been with me for a long time?" ”

Wang Fubao was slightly stunned, "Yes, why did King Changle ask that?" ”

"I remember it vividly...... When we ambushed Xue Shixiong, you were by my side. At that time two hundred and eighty-three brothers went, and only one hundred and seventy-seven returned. Dou Jiande said abruptly: "At that time, everyone thought that they would die, but when they arrived at Xue Shixiong's camp, no one was left behind. ”

Wang Fubao muttered: "Because all the people followed you at that time!" ”

"I remember that you were following me at that time, and we fought in Hebei, and now there are only one hundred and two people left! Fan Yuan was killed by Xiao Buyi, and we had one less brother who had formed a righteous relationship. Later, these people were the mainstay of our Hebei army, and they all blocked a hundred with one by one. Dou Jiande said: "You just said that Yaxian, Xiaohu, and Kangmai are also one of them. Fu Bao, just rely on the sacrifice of life to take righteousness, this matter, we should not investigate! ”

Wang Fubao sighed and said, "I didn't expect King Changle to remember everyone. But now is different from the past, King Changle has not changed, and there is no guarantee that others have not changed. Meng Haigong has surrendered, otherwise we would not have attacked Xiao Buyi. But I heard that when Meng Haigong was attacked, except for Luo Shixin, many brothers were full of private pockets, but they did not tell King Changle......"

Dou Jiande frowned, and said after a while: "Do you mean Cao Dan?" ”

Wang Fubao was silent, sometimes silence of course means acquiescence. In fact, no one in the army dared to say the disadvantages of Cao Dan, everyone looked at Dou Jiande's face, and many times they just turned a blind eye. Cao Dan is ordinary, but he is the eldest brother of Dou Jiande's wife. Cao Dan is incompetent, but Cao is a powerful character, even Dou Jiande rarely talks back to her.

Dou Jiande Rongma has been the overlord of the world all his life, but he has only one wife, which shows the shrewdness of the Cao family.

If Wang Fubao hadn't sighed if it weren't for Dou Jiande's emotion, he wouldn't have wanted to mention it. But he was loyal, and he really couldn't bear Dou Jiande's country being destroyed by a woman.

I don't know how long it took for Dou Jiande to say: "Fu Bao, I'll go back and talk to her, don't take it to heart." ”

Wang Fubao hurriedly said: "How dare your subordinates? ”

"If Li Jiancheng has any news, let me know." Dou Jiande got up and went out of the account, his figure was a little lonely. Wang Fubao sighed and shook his head.

Lingchuan was not far from Shangdang, and Wang Fubao sent his cronies to hurry up and bring back good news before night, that is, Li Jiancheng agreed to meet him.

However, the place of the appointment was not in Shangdang, nor in Lingchuan, but at noon tomorrow, near Yangtou Mountain on the border of the two counties.

Li Jiancheng is in a hurry to make an appointment, and he must also consider that it will change later, and he will restore the rift as soon as possible. However, Li Jiancheng understood the situation and knew that Dou Jiande would not come to the party, and he would not go to Lingchuan, so they could rest assured that they were at the junction.

After Dou Jiande received the news, he was silent for a long time before saying, "Okay! ”

Wang Fubao couldn't rest assured, "King Changle, how many people do we need to bring there?" ”

Dou Jiande smiled, "Li Jiancheng is a smart person and a fair person, choose a hundred brothers to go, there are more signs of weakness, and there is less fear of accidents." Also, you can take 3,000 iron horsemen to stay ten miles south of Sheep's Head Mountain, and if there is an accident, rescue will be in time. I guess Li Jiancheng will do the same thing as me. ”

Wang Fubao complied, there was nothing to do all night, and the second day was dawn, Wang Fubao had already ordered all the soldiers and horses, ready to go. From Lingchuan to Sheep's Head Mountain, it takes an hour to get to the horse. Dou Jiande chose to travel in advance, looked at his subordinates and said, "I haven't seen the snow scene for a long time, let's go slowly this way." ”

Everyone laughed, and the tense atmosphere was swept away. Dou Jiande is undoubtedly a person who can reassure his subordinates, and after being born and dying for so long, he has developed a calmness that is rare for ordinary people.

Wang Fubao's eyes swept away, his face changed slightly, and he suddenly said, "Where is General Gao?" ”

This time, Wang Fubao took the iron horse to answer the rear, and Dou Jiande was followed by a good hand in the army, and Gao Yaxian was also accompanied. The time of departure has already been set, even if King Changle arrives, Gao Yaxian really has no reason not to arrive.

A general said with a smile: "Most of them have a bad stomach and are going to the toilet, General Gao has always been punctual." ”

Everyone laughed again, knowing that this was a plea for Gao Yaxian, Dou Jiande's face was as usual, and he only said: "It's still early anyway." The generals breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Fubao recruited a soldier and went to Gao Yaxian's camp. The red has risen, the wind and snow have gradually stopped, and although there is a chill in the air, there is the warmth of spring.

Dou Jiande looked into the distance, his eyes contemplative. Suddenly, he turned his head to look, only to see the soldiers sent by the party arriving in a hurry, probably too panicked in his heart, and actually stumbled.

Everyone was in their hearts, and Wang Fubao shouted: "What's the matter? ”

The soldier's teeth trembled, and he said in horror: "General Gao...... Die...... He's dead! ”

Everyone was shocked, and without waiting for a reaction, they saw that Dou Jiande's figure had fallen a few feet away, and after a while, he had not entered the camp. The generals followed, and when they arrived at Gao Yaxian's tent, they saw Dou Jiande squatting down with his fists clenched.

Gao Yaxian fell to the ground with his back to the sky, and the fatal wound was obvious at a glance, it was a sword in the throat!

Kill with a sword! It's too late to even shout, the killer is so fast, what a ruthless sword!

Gao Yaxian's eyes were full of surprise and disbelief, but he was holding a pen in his hand, the table was overturned, and a piece of paper fell not far from him. He probably didn't expect that someone would go to the Hebei military camp to assassinate him.

Dou Jiande stared at Gao Yaxian's eyes, and finally showed a look of hatred, reached out and wiped Gao Yaxian's eyes, making him close his eyes.

The generals stood silently, there was no fear in their eyes, only anger, someone actually infiltrated the camp of the Hebei Army and killed Gao Yaxian silently, is this a declaration of war, or a demonstration?

"King Changle, look!" Cao Zhan stretched out his hand and pointed. The crowd looked in the direction of his finger and saw four large blood-red characters written on the opposite side of the tent.

Blood debt and blood repayment!

All the generals were attracted by Gao Yaxian's death, and they didn't pay attention to it, but when they saw it, they all said angrily: "It's Li Jiancheng, it must be Li Jiancheng!" He sent Qiu Xinggong to kill General Gao! ”

Li Daoxuan died, Qiu Xinggong killed the envoy sent by Wang Fubao, and Li Tang retaliated against the Hebei army because of Li Daoxuan's death, which was expected.

Dong Kangmai shouted angrily: "Li Jiancheng is really lawless, does he really think that the Hebei Army can't do without them?" King Changle, the last general, please lead the troops all the way to kill Li Jiancheng without leaving a piece of armor. ”

Dou Jiande slowly stood up, held the piece of paper on the ground in his hand, and crumpled it into pieces.

There was some faint handwriting on the paper, but the back was up, and I didn't know what Gao Yaxian wrote before he died. The generals waited for the order, and Dou Jiande breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "Go see Li Jiancheng." ”

He walked out of the camp, looked around, saw the footprints around the camp, and said in a low voice: "Fu Bao, you ordered someone to check the footprints outside the camp." The snow has stopped, and if the man comes from outside, he should have footprints. ”

Wang Fubao asked, "What if there are no footprints?" ”

Dou Jiande was stunned for a long time, and said abruptly: "Let's go find it first." ”

Seeing Gao Yaxian die again, although Dou Jiande was calm on the surface, his heart was full of pain, Fan Yuan died, Gao Yaxian died, and Li Daoxuan died. Xiao Buyi remained silent and kept hidden, did he do all these things?

Dou Jiande didn't believe that it would be Li Jiancheng's doing!

Out of the camp, with his men all the way to the north, all the generals were silent, and when the head was hanging, more than 100 people had rushed to the agreed place on Sheep's Head Mountain.

Looking at it from a distance, I saw that there were hundreds of people on the other side, and Qiu Xinggong was impressive. Although Qiu Xinggong's face was haggard and pale, his eyes were full of anger, and it seemed that if there was no restraint from Li Jiancheng, most of them would rush over to fight.

He was seriously injured, but now he can still travel, and he is as fierce as an iron beater.

When the generals of Hebei saw Qiu Xinggong, their eyes were also spitting fire, and Dou Jiande said in a deep voice: "I can't give orders, do it without permission, and behead!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, the generals listened awe-inspiringly. Dou Jiande had already stepped forward, and Li Jiancheng was also ushering, and the generals wanted to escort him, but Li Jiancheng waved his hand to stop.

One is the prince of Li Tang, and the other is the overlord of Hebei, and when the two meet, the snow stops and the wind stops. Dou Jiande's expression was calm, and Li Jiancheng's demeanor was calm. When Dou Jiande saw it, he appreciated it in his heart, and secretly thought that Li Yuan's chosen heir to the throne really deserved his name!

Although Li Jiancheng is both civil and military, according to the news, martial arts is by no means a master, but he was able to come to see him alone, which shows that he has a clear conscience and is even more courageous and knowledgeable.

Dou Jiande believes more in his own eyes, but also believes in his own judgment. Li Daoxuan died, Gao Yaxian died, he knew that now was the most difficult time for the Hebei Army and Li Tang, he must get through this difficulty, without Li Tang's help, it would be difficult for him to shake Xiao Buyi, similarly, if there was no Dou Jiande, Li Tang would only be attacked by Xiao Buyi in an instant, Dou Jiande understood this, and of course Li Jiancheng also understood!

"Prince Li, this king has something to delay, please forgive me for a while." Dou Jiande smiled.

After Li Jiancheng was a few feet away from Dou Jiande, he reined in his horse and asked with concern, "King Changle, I don't know what is delaying, do I have a helper?" ”

His expression was respectful, without the slightest arrogance, and when the generals of Hebei saw it, they were a little skeptical of Fang Cai's judgment. Dou Jiande's face was sad, "General Gao Yaxian was stabbed in the barracks, and the murderer left four words: blood debt and blood payment. I'm dealing with this matter, so I'm delaying it a bit. He said calmly, but his eyes were staring at Li Jiancheng's eyes.

Li Jiancheng lost his voice and said: "General Gao was stabbed in the barracks? When was it? ”

Dou Jiande saw that Li Jiancheng behaved as usual, and sighed lightly: "Yes, it was said that King Yong was assassinated before, and General Gao encountered a plot again this morning, presumably ...... It's Xiao Buyi who is a ghost. ”

Qiu Xinggong shouted: "Dou Jiande! How can Gao Yaxian compare with King Yong, do you think that if you lose your life, you want to shirk responsibility? ”

The generals of Hebei shouted: "Qiu Xinggong, most likely you killed General Gao, otherwise how to explain the blood debt and blood payment?" ”

The anger of both sides was about to erupt, and they invariably took a few steps forward, and it seemed that a scuffle was inevitable. Dou Jiande didn't look back, just raised his hand, and the generals in Hebei didn't dare to step forward. Li Jiancheng turned around and shouted: "If there is the former, you will not be spared!" ”

The two of them gestured and said a word, and once again controlled the situation, Li Jiancheng sighed: "King Changle is a hero among the people, a hegemon, in fact, of course they know that they assassinated King Yong first, and then plotted against General Gao, the intention is self-evident, that is, to provoke the relationship between Emperor Tang and King Changle." Who the murderer is, it goes without saying. ”

Dou Jiande breathed a sigh of relief, "The prince has said this, and this king has no worries. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that the ice and snow had melted, and although Qiu Xinggong and Hebei Jun were suspicious, they couldn't interject again.

Dou Jiande said: "Since Prince Li knows everything, he doesn't know when you are going to send troops?" ”

"Sending troops?" Li Jiancheng smiled wryly, "King Changle, this matter needs to be considered in the long run!" ”

Dou Jiande's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said abruptly: "Until now, when the soldiers are coming to the city, Prince Li actually said that he wants to think about it in the long run, don't you think it's a big joke?" ”
