Chapter 652: The Winner is King
Chapter 652: The Winner is King
If you win, you will be the king, and if you lose, you will be the king, and this has always been the case in ancient and modern times.
Although Dou Hongxian is just a small farmer's family in Hebei, her experience over the years has already made her understand. Origin, while important, doesn't tell the whole story. Overlord Xiang Yu is a nobleman of the Chu State, behind the gate. Han Gaozu Liu Bang just started as a pavilion leader, and there was no difference between her father and her. But in the end, it was not Xiang Yu who won the world but Liu Bang, and the prince and prince Xiang Ning had a kind of?
She had long understood all of this, and she also knew her father's ambitions, so she left all her thoughts behind and devoted herself to helping her father. Looking at the smiling man opposite, she sneered a few times.
After several years of bloody storms, she has already put life and death aside. I also thought for a long time that there would be such a day when it would fall into the hands of the enemy.
Looking at Dou Hongxian without the slightest fear, Chen Kefu couldn't help but secretly admire it, it was really a surprising woman in troubled times. In Wei, Hua Mulan joined the army on behalf of her father, and she made 12 military achievements. Now I see such an ordinary and ordinary woman, but now she has gradually become an admirable strange woman.
waved people to put a soft couch on the opposite side, Chen Kefu turned many thoughts in his heart, and smiled, "Recently, this king is busy with affairs, but he never thought that Miss Dou would come. Now that the king's affairs are also busy, I happened to meet Miss Dou again, and we just happened to chat. In the past, we were all in Hebei, and we can be regarded as fellow villagers. In the past, this king has also fought with Miss Dou Lingzun a few times, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to meet, but this time it is just right to talk about it. β
As soon as the words fell, Dou Hongxian sneered, and generously stepped forward and sat on the soft couch in front of Chen Kefu. Seeing that Chen Kefu personally poured a cup of tea for her, he didn't hesitate at all, and drank it as soon as he picked it up. But just like her character, she didn't taste it slowly, just drank it all at once.
"Since I have fallen into the hands of King Chen, if I want to kill, I must listen to it. But if you want to take me as a hostage, and use this to blackmail my father, what kind of bargaining chips and what demands you make, but you are persuaded to free your mind. Since I dared to come, I was already ready. My heroes in Hebei will not be at your mercy. β
Looking at Dou Hongxian, whose face did not change and his demeanor was calm, the generals of Hebei were already very impressed at this time. Children in troubled times, they have also seen a lot of outstanding women, such as King Chen's wives and concubines, all of whom are very outstanding. But it is surprising that Dou Hongxian, who fell into the hands of the enemy, could still look so calm and not afraid at all.
Chen Kefu took out a parchment roll from his bosom and quietly spread it out in front of Dou Hongxian.
Dou Hongxian glanced at the map, but found that it was a map of Hebei. And this is not an ordinary map, in addition to drawing mountains and rivers, passes and cities, there are a lot of small characters on it.
She has followed the rebels for many years and often commanded troops on the battlefield, so she naturally recognizes the map and understands the layout on it. If you look closely, in addition to those small characters, there are also red and blue lines, marked with many marks.
On the map, the land of the four counties of Yan Kingdom is all on it. And not only that, but there are remarks on the soldiers and horses arranged by Yan Guo in various passes and cities, and the names of the guards. He even clearly saw that there were marks on it that the Hejian Rebel Army led by her father Dou Jiande was stationed everywhere, not only did there be a note on the plan for commanding the troops, but also the number of troops and the combat effectiveness were recorded in detail.
Although she is now the queen of Yan Kingdom, she is still very clear about her own soldiers and horses, and at a glance, she already understands that more than ninety percent of the marks marked on it are correct. At the moment, he couldn't help frowning, and a cool breath rose straight up from the soles of his feet.
Chen Kefu had been watching her, and when he saw that her face had finally changed slightly, his heart was finally a little lighter. β¦,
How to deal with Dou Hongxian, he thought about it for a long time, just now Lu Shishen persuaded him to kill her and send her head back to Wei County. He only thought about it for a moment and then rejected it. Dou Hongxian is not just the queen of Yan Kingdom, a queen in troubled times is really nothing. But she is also Dou Jiande's daughter, and Dou Jiande likes this daughter very much.
Killing her with a knife will have no effect except to arouse the anger of Dou Jiande and Wei Dao'er in Hebei. But keeping it can at least make Dou Jiande have some scruples in his heart. After he received the news of the coup d'Γ©tat in Yan State last time, he became more and more concerned about Dou Jiande. This person is worthy of being a hero, although he has been in adversity, he can always live tenaciously like an immortal Xiaoqiang. Even the more you live, the stronger you live, the better you live.
At the beginning, he was just a soldier under the Tokai Gong Gundam, but later Gundam died, and he became the leader of the Hejian Rebel Army instead. Turned to the defeat of Niukou, he led the remnants to flee south, relying on Wang Subha. At that time, who would have thought that in such a short period of time, he would go from a suspicious powerless county king in Yan Kingdom to a powerful prince with more than 100,000 troops.
Dou Jiande is not a simple character, give him a fulcrum, maybe he can really pry up the earth. Just looking at Dou Hongxian's adventure to go deep into Mengjin and contact Li Mi and Li Shimin to form an alliance, you can know that Dou Jiande is not willing to be a Taifu. In troubled times, he wants more.
Chen Kefu did not have the idea of subduing Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande, like Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, and Li Mi, had already been included in the list of must-kill people in Chen Kefu's heart. These people are not only the heroes of the world, but their personal prestige is too high, and they are all people who can compete with him. Fortunately, Wang Shichong is dead, and Li Yuan will also follow in his footsteps, and his life will not be long.
"King Chen once again let the little girl see the ability of the Secret Service Division." Dou Hongxian's face was blue and red, and after a long time, he spit out such a sentence helplessly.
Just looking at this picture, he already knew that Chen Pojun had already spied out all the arrangements of Yan Kingdom. Although there was no sign of Chen Pojun's soldiers and horses on this map, she already understood. Chen Pojun was willing to show her this picture, he must have made all the preparations, just waiting for the thunder to strike.
"It's just presenting the current situation to Miss Dou to see, and it doesn't mean anything else." Chen Kefu smiled, took a sip of the teacup, and suddenly said, "I don't know if Miss Dou still remembers Hebei in the early years of the Great Cause?" β
Dou Hongxian was slightly stunned when he heard this, in the early years of the great cause, it was when Yang Guangxin ascended the throne. Yang Guang ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, and his father, who was in exile, was also pardoned and returned home. At that time, although the family had a lot of money because of his father's escape. But since his father's return, the life of the Dou family has gradually improved again. The family is reunited, has a house and land, and does not have to worry about food, clothing, food and clothing. Her father was respected by the village, and her mother was in charge of the housework, but she was only a child at that time, and in addition to playing every day, she only remembered the warmth of the family together.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought, how long has it been since she felt that warm feeling? Seven years later, all that remains of her memory is fear, hunger, flight, numbness, habit, and rebellion.
Thinking of these things that she hadn't thought about for a long time, her eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Chen Kefu took a handkerchief and handed it to her, Dou Hongxian came back to his senses, his face was a little embarrassed, and he said stubbornly, "I just got dust in my eyes just now, and I'm fine." β
"In the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the people of the world were in dire straits. Miss Dou is not the only one, there are thousands of people like you. It's just that there are already a lot of people who don't have the opportunity to feel like Miss Dou in the past. Chen Kefu sighed. β¦,
Dou Hongxian was also silent, over the years, she had seen countless fallen rebel brothers and sisters with her own eyes. She understood the meaning of that sentence, and the people of the hundred worlds were like mustard.
"Miss Dou, have you thought about it in the future?"
"Later?"
Chen Kefu nodded, "Yes, although Shenzhou has encountered this troubled era, the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time." No matter who wins or loses in the end, the world will be unified after all. Troubled times can't go on forever, hasn't Miss Dou thought about her future after the chaos? β
A hint of longing flashed in Dou Hongxian's eyes, but it was only for a moment, and the next moment he had already smiled sadly, "Children of troubled times, every day their heads are carried in their hands excessively, and even when they sleep at night, they have to open one eye and close one eye." No one knows when he either starved to death, or died under the sword of the officers and soldiers of the court, or died under the hooves of other soldiers and horses. I never thought about the end, and I never dared to hope for that. For our brothers and sisters in the rebel army, every extra day of life is already the greatest luxury. β
"At the beginning, Yang Guang was unreasonable, corrupt officials and tyrannical officials were rampant in various places, and righteous heroes from all over the country rose up one after another, which was not to be taken as a son. However, today, this time is different from the past, although there are still many heroes in the world, but the general trend of the world has become clear. At this time, conforming to the way of heaven is the right way. Miss Dou and this king are in Hebei together, I don't know if Miss Dou has heard of Hebei and the current situation of her former hometown? β
Dou Hongxian knew the meaning of Chen Kefu's words, and she was in Hebei, and she had long known what Chen Kefu had done to Hebei. Although Hebei is still withering, it is no longer as turbulent as in the early years. Since last year, the people of Hebei have returned to their hometowns in the official organization under Chen Pojun. When she came to Mengjin this time, she also heard that all other counties in Hebei have now resumed spring ploughing, and there is a busy scene everywhere.
But even so, what can be done? Now, Yan Guo is no longer just a group of hungry people. And his father is no longer the chief of the past.
Chen Kefu looked at Dou Hongxian's complicated expression, and also saw some thoughts in her heart, and got up and said, "Miss Dou, it is also very rewarding to talk to you." This king is not trying to persuade him to surrender today, but he has some words that are pressed in his heart, and he will not vomit or be unhappy. Miss Dou, you were also a member of the oppression of tyranny at the beginning, and you had no choice but to do it, just to survive. But now, current affairs are different, you look at the world, and then look at Hebei. Whether it is your rebel army or our Hebei imperial court, we should not forget our original intention of raising troops. The purpose of raising an army is to live better and overthrow tyranny, not to inflict the pain that Yang Guang inflicted on you at the beginning, and then inflict it on other people. β
Chen Kefu's tone was a little excited, and when he said the back, he sighed, but said no more. Just waved his hand, "Temporarily place Miss Dou on the Lingbo, send more people to serve, don't slack off, go." β
Dou Hongxian got up slowly, passed by, turned his head and stared at Chen Kefu deeply before turning around and leaving.
