Kong Deshao had already heard this proverb, and he had studied it carefully at home, and after receiving the report, Kong Deshao shook his head and said: "Lord Wang, I estimate that there is a conspiracy here." ”

Dou Jiande's face sank a little, this Kong Deshao is good anywhere, his mind is sharp, and his thinking is broad, it is this 'conspiracy' that he doesn't like, he saw that Kong Deshao began to talk about conspiracy again, so he couldn't help but be dissatisfied in his heart and said: "Let's not talk about the conspiracy first, explain this proverb for me." ”

Kong Deshao felt Dou Jiande's displeasure, he hurriedly smiled, "Actually, this proverb is not difficult to understand, the first sentence has a demon road in Youzhou, which means that this person was born in Youzhou and is called a demon road, the prince might as well think about who the demon road refers to?" ”

Dou Jiande thought about it and shook his head, "I can't think of it." ”

"Lord Wang, in fact, it doesn't refer to the demon way, but to the demon sword."

Dou Jiande reacted suddenly, "You mean Song Jingang?" ”

Song Jingang is known as the world's four great generals, nicknamed 'Demon Knife', isn't this Song Jingang a native of Shanggu County, Youzhou? Dou Jiande's brows furrowed, what does this mean?

Kong Deshao continued: "Lord Wang, in fact, the second sentence has been made clear, saying that he is the God of Demon Suppression, isn't this Demon God King Kong?" ”

Dou Jiande came to his senses a little, and he really meant Song Jingang, "What does it mean to drive the clouds out of the White Sea and fall into the Blue Emperor?" ”

"Lord Wang, the White Sea refers to the North Sea, driving the clouds out of the White Sea, and falling into the Qingdi, that is to say, this person will come out of Beihai County, and then become the emperor of Qingzhou."

Dou Jiande's face became extremely ugly, the meaning of this proverb is that Song Jingang wants to rebel and replace himself, but he is not surprised, now Song Jingang is actually semi-independent.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Qingzhou is no exception. Although he Dou Jiande is the lord of Qingzhou. But in fact, Qingzhou is divided into three parts of the world, he Dou Jiande occupies Qi County, Lu County, Gaomi County, and Liu Heimin controls Langya County. Song Jingang took control of Beihai County.

Originally, he could have incorporated Liu Heimin's army, but because of his niece Dou Xianniang's escape from marriage, his plan fell through. Liu Heimin turned his face with him, but Liu Heimin grew up with him, and he didn't have the heart to kill him.

But Song Jingang is different, this person first rebelled against Wang Basu, it is rumored that Wang Basu was killed by him, and then betrayed Liu Wuzhou, and finally turned to himself in desperation, this person has a rebellious heart in his bones, if he wants to take Beihai and Qingzhou. It's entirely possible.

Song Jingang was extremely cunning, and refused to leave Beihai County, and he invited him to Qi County three times. He just wouldn't come. If you want to kill him by tricks, it's still very difficult to do. You can only use a strong attack.

Dou Jiande walked around the room with a blue face, Kong Deshao knew what he was thinking, so he said cautiously: "Lord Wang, I think the origin of this proverb is unknown, maybe there is really something wrong, will there be anything...... Conspiracy? ”

Kong Deshao hesitated for a moment before finally saying the word 'conspiracy', although Dou Jiande didn't want to hear it, but he felt that it was so.

Dou Jiande snorted coldly, "You have to say that everything is a conspiracy, then who do you say this will do, Yang Yuanqing?" He fought against Li Shimin in Hongnong County, where can he take care of me, or Li Mi, what's the point of him provoking me, since Mr. is the mastermind, he should understand that there is no wind and no waves, proverbs such a thing, don't talk about conspiracy. ”

Kong Deshao's face was a little pale, and his proverbs have always been mysterious, and they are generally taboo by superiors, and they are easy to be used, in fact, he also knows that there has always been a contradiction between Dou Jiande and Song Jingang, but this contradiction is covered up.

Although Song Jingang also expressed his willingness to obey Dou Jiande's dispatch, no superior was willing to control the territory and own the army under his own subordinates, and the contradiction between Dou Jiande and Song Jingang would break out sooner or later, perhaps because of this proverb, the lid covering up their contradictions was lifted at once.

Dou Jiande looked at the roof with his hands in his hands, and said coldly after a moment: "I know about this matter, thank you Mr. for explaining, I will consider the matter of Song Jingang myself." ”

Kong Deshao understood that Dou Jiande had a murderous intention in his heart, and he didn't dare to say more, so he had no choice but to leave.

In the room, Dou Jiande was extremely troubled in his heart, sometimes he would paralyze himself, whether Liu Heimin and Song Jingang were his subordinates, but the factions were different, there were many factions in his army before, didn't he also let him dispatch them? Serve him as the lord as the same thing, and it's not a big problem.

But this proverb is like a sobering pill, so that he woke up from paralysis, and he had to face the reality, Song Jingang and Liu Heimin are not the same thing as the previous faction at all, they just obey themselves on the surface, but in fact they have established themselves as kings, and if he wants to rebuild the country, these two people are two big stones that cannot be bypassed, and they are the first to be solved.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and someone hurriedly reported at the door: "Lord, someone in Beihai County asked to see him, saying that he was the third housekeeper in Song Jingang's mansion, and said that there was something important to report to the prince." ”

Dou Jiande was stunned, and immediately ordered: "Bring this person up." ”

After a while, several guards led a middle-aged man in, the man had a small nose and small eyes, and a sad face, he knelt down on his knees when he came in, and prostrated on the ground, "Xiaomin Li Afu, knock to see the prince!" ”

Dou Jiande glanced at him, and this person looked like a mediocre and hard-working person, so he asked him: "Are you the housekeeper of Song Jingang's mansion?" ”

"Back to the prince, the villain is the third housekeeper in his house, responsible for running errands."

"Hmmm! You have something important to report to me. Dou Jiande sat down, took a sip of tea and asked.

"Lord Wang, about five days ago, Song Jingang secretly received a guest, my daughter was in charge of delivering tea, I heard her say that Song Jingang called this person Mr. Xie, an official from the Sui Dynasty."

Dou Jiande's hand froze suddenly, he slowly put the teacup back on the table, stared at the housekeeper and asked, "What does this person surnamed Xie look like?" ”

"He was a scribe, about thirty years old, very thin, with a large black mole on the left side of his nose."

Dou Jiande's face changed greatly, he knew who this person was, Xie Sili, Yang Yuanqing's henchman, Dou Jiande's face was gloomy and terrifying, and after a while, he asked again: "Do you know what they talked about?" ”

"The villain didn't know, Song Jingang drove all the subordinates away, the doors and windows were closed, all around were his personal soldiers, no one was allowed to approach, and they talked for about an hour."

"!"

Dou Jiande slammed his fist on the table, the anger in his heart almost made him roar, Song Jingang really colluded with Yang Yuanqing secretly, needless to say, Yang Yuanqing must have promised him some high-ranking officials, and Song Jingang was ready to rebel against him again.

His chest rose and fell violently, and it took him a while before he restrained his anger and asked the butler, "Why did you betray Song Jingang?" ”

The housekeeper kowtowed and said with tears in his eyes: "Just the night before yesterday, Song Jingang got drunk and ruined my daughter, my daughter tried her best to resist and annoyed him, so he rewarded my daughter to the soldiers, my daughter was humiliated, and after coming back, she committed suicide by hanging herself, I went to him to reason, but he beat him up and drove him out of the house." ”

Speaking of this Li Li, the butler lifted his clothes with trembling hands, only to see that his back was covered with whip marks, and the flesh and blood were blurred, which was miserable, and he knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "My hard-working daughter! ”

Seeing this, Dou Jiande completely believed in his heart, he was a generous man, he saw that this housekeeper was beaten very badly, and he had pity in his heart, so he ordered the guards, "Take him down to heal." and a hundred taels of silver. ”

The housekeeper kowtowed again and again, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" Thank you, Lord Wang! ”

The guards led the housekeeper down, Dou Jiande stood in front of the sand table with his hands in his hands, staring at Beihai County silently, his eyes flashing with a 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 will he act?

At this time, another guard came to report, "Lord Wang, General Sun is here, and there is an important military report." ”

"Order him in!"

Soon, a general hurriedly walked in, this person was a general under Dou Jiande, named Sun Fuling, who was in charge of patrolling the periphery of Qi County, he bowed down and gave a salute, "Lord Qi, I found some unusual things." ”

"What's the matter?"

"In the past two days, I have heard from fishermen that the number of large ships overseas has increased significantly, and many of them are warships.

"Warships?"

Dou Jiande's brows furrowed, where did this warship come from, suddenly, he seemed to think of something, walked quickly to the wall, brushed the ground and opened the curtain, on the wall is a large map, much wider than his sand table, including Hebei and Liaodong.

Dou Jiande looked at Beihai County, where Laishui Bay was the largest seaport in Qingzhou, his gaze kept to the north, and finally stopped at the mouth of the Wei River in Beiping County, the mouth of the Wei River was the port of the Sui army, there were hundreds of warships there, where would the Qingzhou sea warships come from? It can only be the warship of the Sui army.

At this moment, Dou Jiande's thinking suddenly became clear, he knew how the Sui army was going to attack Qingzhou, it was from the waterway, so it was reasonable for Yang Yuanqing to buy Song Jingang.

And their own army is mainly concentrated in the west of Qi County and the Yellow River, the back is empty, once the Sui army lands from Laishuiwan, it will form a belly and back attack, at that time, Qingzhou is in danger!

Dou Jiande suddenly sweated profusely, he knew that as long as the Sui army finished the Central Plains Campaign, the next step would be to deal with himself, attacking from both water and land at the same time, and there was not much time left for him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit down anymore, and shouted: "Prepare the carriage and go to the barracks immediately!" ”……

The housekeeper Li Afu walked out of Dou Jiande's palace with a hundred taels of silver, he bowed again and again, and walked out of the city with a thousand thanks.

But not long after leaving Dou Jiande's palace, the despicable look on his face disappeared, he snorted coldly, walked briskly all the way, walked to a shop selling rice, looked around, there was no one, and he entered through the side door in a flash.

Walking to the backyard, a sturdy man saluted him and said, "Captain Li, have you succeeded?" ”

The man nodded, "It's a success now, but you still have to pay attention to the mobilization of Dou Jiande's army, and once you find out that his army is mobilized, you will immediately report it to Taiyuan." ”

"Obey!" ……

Two days later, Dou Jiande's 50,000 troops 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, flapped its wings and flew towards Taiyuan
