Chapter 269: The world is full of loyal people
Lingwu County.
Dou Kang sat in the Taishou Mansion, his thoughts reversed in his heart, and he was uneasy. 、
"The emperor died?" Dou Kang never thought that Yang Guang would die in the hands of Yu Wenhuaji, and he also had complicated thoughts about Yang Guang and Dou Kang.
Dou Kang is not Lingwu Taishou, Yang Guang sent him to Lingwu generation to inspect the Great Wall, it happened that Lingwu Taishou Zhishi, Dou Kang temporarily took over the position of Lingwu Taishou.
And he and Li Yuan are in-laws, his sister married Li Yuan, when the Turks brought Li Yuan's letter, asking Dou Kangju to surrender to the Turks, Dou Kang was silent for a long time.
Dou Kang has always been an opportunist, just like he married his sister Xu to Li Yuan, so as to get the position of a high-ranking official, in his opinion, after Yang Guang died, only Daxingcheng and Luoyang were left two little princes, how could they resist the thieves of the world, and the Sui Dynasty was about to fall.
Since the giant ship of the Great Sui Dynasty is about to capsize, why didn't he save himself in advance?
Dou Kang agreed to the invitation of the Turks, and now that the Turkic army is coming, when the Turkic army besieges the city, he will definitely be able to completely surrender Lingwu County to the Turks.
In private, he had already contacted many people to ensure that the matter of defecting to the Turks was foolproof, and he was waiting for the arrival of the Turkic army at this moment.
The excuse he used was that if there was chaos today, the two little princes would definitely not be able to succeed, and they could only rely on the strength of the Turks to avenge the emperor.
"Sand!"
A cold wind blew, and a strange sound flashed outside the window.
"Who?" Dou Kang said vigilantly.
Dou Kang was in a state of anxiety, and the slightest disturbance made him upset. After waiting for a long time to hear the silence outside, I was relieved.
"That's not right!"
Dou Kang suddenly felt chills, his door had always been guarded, and no one responded to his question just now, which was obviously unreasonable.
"Who is Your Excellency?" The sinus resists the difficult opening.
A dark shadow in the corner stood quietly, walked slowly, and said, "East Palace Sect Leader Shi Wanbao!" ”
"East Palace Sect Leader Shi Wanbao?" Dou Kang's face was full of bitterness.
Of course, he knew who Shi Wanbao was, and with the great exploits of the special bandit suppression force, Shi Wanbao's name was also widely spread.
It can be said that Shi Wanbao is the sharpest knife in the hands of Yang Yu, the acting king, and now this knife appears in his room. Apparently, His Royal Highness had already discovered his defection to the Turks.
A flash of swords flashed. Dou resisted the human head and flew up.
Overnight, thirteen officials of Lingwu County were assassinated by the special battalion, and 200 soldiers of the special battalion were stationed in Lingwu, and Lingwu was decided.
After Lingwu settled. The northernmost county, Wuyuan, surrendered to the Turks.
Wuyuan County is the Hetao Plain in later generations. The current Wuyuan County is not the rich stuff of the Jiangnan in later generations. Now Wuyuan County is still grassland, and the Turkic residents occupy most of it, and the Turks are slightly promoted. And you got what you wanted.
……………………
Linfen County.
"Tang Gong was a minister in the north, not to rebel, but to save the court, and now that the emperor has died, Tang Gong cried day and night. The reversible thief culture is still in Jiangdu, how can such a blood feud not be revenged, and it will come today, which is to replace the Tang Dynasty and avenge the emperor. ”
In the Taishou Mansion, a Li Tang envoy talked eloquently to Qu Tutong.
Qu Tutong held Li Yuan's secret letter, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, Li Yuan is now losing his troops, and he Qu Tutong has an army of 70,000, and he even wants to whimsically recruit him.
And you Li Yuan got the news too late! It was ten days later than His Royal Highness the Acting King, and there were too many things to be done in ten days.
"The acting king is young, less is not more important, the general and Tang Gong together to support His Royal Highness the acting king, in the future to exterminate the thieves, pacify the world, kill Yu Wenhua, avenge the emperor, and live up to the emperor's trust.
"Shut up!" Qu Tutong was furious.
"I, Qu Tutong, have been loyal to the emperor all my life, how can I be in the company of you, Li Yuan, a villain who is a big rebel, come here, and pull this person out of Lu for me to kill!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, a soldier stepped forward and set up a Tang army envoy to pull him out of the door.
"The two armies are fighting each other! The general spares his life! Li Tang's envoy shouted in horror.
Qu Tutong snorted coldly, this is not a battle between the two armies, how can you prove his innocence without killing him, how can he win the trust of His Royal Highness the Acting King.
Although Qu Tutong stationed troops in Linfen, but the intelligence of Daxing City, Yang Yu did not hide it from him at all, and now Daxing City has Guanzhong and Bashu counties, and has become the strongest force in the world.
As for Li Yuan, there is only one dilapidated Taiyuan, as well as several counties in Hexi and Lishi, and he is facing the attack between him and Liu Wuzhou, and he still wants to rebel against him in such a miserable situation?
Why don't you Li Yuan pee and take care of yourself! Qu Tutong said with contempt in his heart.
………………
Hebei! The county seat of River.
In Qilijing, south of Hejian City, there is the place where Dou Jiande became famous, and it was here that Dou Jiande took advantage of the dense fog to break through the 30,000 elite soldiers of Xue Shixiong, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and achieved a shocking victory.
However, Dou Jiande was able to defeat Xue Shixiong's 30,000 elite soldiers, but he couldn't help a small Hejian City.
Wang Cong of Hejian County was stubborn and abnormal, loyal to Yang Guang, defended the city, and repelled the attacks of the Dou army many times, which made Dou Jiande angry to death, but helpless.
At this moment, the opportunity to capture Hejian came, and Dou Jiande personally sent an envoy to send the news of Yang Guang's death to Hejian City.
"The emperor died?" Wang Cong of Hejian County was full of horror.
He has been sticking to the river in the hope that one day he can see Yang Guang waving his army to calm the world, he has stood on the city wall many times and looked into the distance, hoping to see the arrival of reinforcements, but he was disappointed again and again.
And now his hopes are all dashed, and at the same time, he also knows in his heart that the food in Hejian City has been eaten, and Hejian City can no longer hold on.
"Lord Juncheng, please mourn!" The envoy of the Dou army was dressed in white mourning clothes, looked sad, and carefully explained the process of the Jiangdu mutiny.
"Your Majesty!"
Suddenly, the city between the rivers was filled with tears.
The food in the city was exhausted, and the news of Yang Guang's death was obtained, and in an instant, the fighting spirit of Hejian City disappeared and asked for surrender.
"Good!" Dou Jiande was extremely excited when he received the messenger's report.
In order to win Wang Cong's trust, Dou Jiande retreated thirty miles.
On that day, Wang Cong took the officials of Hejian to the door of the barracks wearing white mourning clothes and tied their hands behind their backs.
"Lord Wang is not a prisoner, how can he be so self-deprecating." Dou Jiande said, and personally stepped forward to untie them.
"The old man failed to keep Hejian, and he was ashamed of his trust in the emperor." Wang Cong's tears were full of tears and he was extremely sad.
Dou Jiande squeezed his eyes hard, left two lines of old tears, and said with emotion: "I, Dou Jiande, have been a citizen of the Sui Dynasty for decades, and the Sui Dynasty has been my monarch for two generations. Now Yu Wenhua and killed Emperor Yang, a big rebellion, from now on he is my Dou Jiande's enemy, and please ask Lord Wang to help me, and come to kill Yu Wenhua and come to pay tribute to the emperor. ”
Dou Jiande immediately appointed Wang Cong as the assassin of Yingzhou, and with Wang Cong's case in front, the counties of Hebei took refuge in Dou Jiande.
In the shortest possible time, Dou Jiande unified Hebei.
When Shi Jia Yan Tui heard the news, he sighed: "The emperor collapsed, and the world is full of loyal people." (To be continued......)
