Chapter 7: The Prosperous Age (Part 10)
As he spoke, Liu Jizhen, who was outside the camp gate, had already fought two more battles with the defeated soldiers, dispersed more than 10,000 people, and then more than 2,000 more subordinates came out behind him. The chosen rout is grateful to Dade and is not ashamed of defecting in the slightest. The pawns who were not selected by Liu Jizhen were full of envy, and stood in a team to cheer for the horse thieves. According to the rules of the steppe, these people will become the shepherd slaves of the victors, and the master will have the right to control everything about them, including dignity and life.
That's the Prairie Rules! Seeing that the kung fu of more than a thousand horse thieves swelled to seven thousand in the blink of an eye, Dou Cong couldn't help but shake his head secretly. "Will this person become the next Ashina Bone Tuoru in the future?" The moment the thought swelled in his mind, he instinctively pressed his hand to the hilt of the knife. He has a strong urge to kill the horse thief Liu Jizhen from behind, although the two sides are allies at the moment.
Liu Jizhen is not an ordinary horse thief, he took the initiative to rush to the vicinity of the joint camp, not to protect the grain and grass in the camp. What the Xiongnu restored to the country lacked the most was the population, and the Saiwai warriors who had a certain combat effectiveness and lost their way out would be the best candidates for their expansion of the tribe.
"General Dou must be tired from hiding in the mountains these days, right?" A gentle greeting suddenly came from his ears, interrupting Dou Cong's thoughts. He looked up suddenly, just in time to see Shangguan Bi's smiling eyes.
"No, not tired. I'm just a little tired! Dou Cong was flustered by laughter, and responded incoherently. It's a little tired. I didn't expect the victory to come so easily. It's like a dream, and I can't get used to it for a while! ”
"Also, hundreds of thousands of troops, prepared for half a year, and disappeared in less than half a month!" Shangguan Bi nodded and gave Dou Cong a charming smile. Compared with the Central Plains woman, she has a dazzling charm. is like a wildflower blooming in spring, so that Dou Cong has no time to be distracted after seeing it.
"Gu Tuolu underestimates the strength of the Central Plains!" Swallowing and foaming, Dou Cong commented dryly.
"He didn't expect the catastrophe to come, but it prompted the Central Plains heroes to have to work together to deal with it!" Shangguan Bi smiled and wandered a few steps, just blocking Dou Cong's view of the camp gate.
"You, aren't you going to help, help Brother Liu?" Afraid that his heart would be seen through, Dou Cong wanted to cover it up.
"He? He doesn't need anyone's help right now! The smile on Shangguan Bi's face was even stronger, as if she was particularly willing to appreciate Dou Cong's embarrassment.
She was not in a hurry to help Liu Jizhen, and she was not worried about whether the King of the Huns would be able to eat so many prisoners in one bite. She was concerned with another topic, which was in line with her nature as a woman. "I heard that the general is the sister-in-law of the prince, and the two had a relationship many years ago?"
"Yes, that's true!" The string of vigilance that was tense in Dou Cong's heart broke suddenly, panting, crying and laughing. "It was Tang Wang who had a good eye and promoted the general to the army. The general also knew how to repay the favor and made a lot of meritorious deeds under the account of the Tang King. ”
"And then in order to reward the general, King Tang married his daughter to him?" Shangguan Bi's eyes lit up, like a starry bucket in the middle of the autumn night.
Dou Cong thought about it and replied thoughtfully, "Not exactly." The third lady has always admired the general's bravery. However, the imperial court doubted the loyalty of the Tang King and forcibly transferred the general from the Tang King's tent. Later, the third lady searched for her husband for thousands of miles, and lived and died with the general. Later, the general was enshrined in Boling and happened to be neighbors with the Tang King. The relationship between the two families is getting closer and closer, and it is difficult to separate each other! ”
Bei Yan bit lightly on his red lips, and Shangguan Bi continued to ask: "Then General Li must be respectful to Mrs. Li, and raise his eyebrows?" ”
"Well, well, of course it is, of course!" Dou Cong nodded again and again. He deliberately blurred some of the past before, so as to leave room for Shangguan Bi to get to the bottom of it. Anyway, the focus of the other party's attention was not here, so all his efforts fell into the void, and he was not disappointed.
"I envy them!" Ignoring the gloomy expression on Dou Cong's face, Shangguan Bi said with a smile. Pacing a few steps, slowly walking towards the gate of the camp. The golden hair was blown by the mountain wind, twisting and bending, drawing the eyes of countless people.
What do these do, she asked? Could it be that she .......? No longer had the heart to think about whether Liu Jizhen would become a confidant of the Central Plains in the future, and Dou Cong's attention was all attracted by Shangguan Bi. If this beautiful and cunning Xianbei woman tried to recommend herself to the general Li Xu, it would be difficult to guarantee that Li Xu would not be tempted by her. In that case, the merger between the Li family in Hedong and the Li family in Boling may have added a lot of complications......
As a confidant who has followed Tang King Li Yuan for many years, Dou Cong clearly knows how many lies he told just now. At that time, Li Xu's intention was not to marry Wan'er at all, and the Tang family's refusal to marry Wan'er at that time was not only because he had a marriage contract with the Chai family! If King Tang could have expected that Li Xu would have such an opportunity later, I am afraid that there would be more than one Wan'er, and he would be willing to pay any price! And the reason why General Li accepted the third lady without complaint may not have hidden the shadow of Wan'er after that.
After careful calculation, the Li family in Hedong has always used Li Xu as a chess piece, whether the other party is a poor boy or a current general. However, Li Xu has always valued Tang Gong's kindness to him, Wan'er and Qian'er's admiration for him, and has never regarded the status, court and strength of both parties as bargaining chips.
One party is so cold, so calculating, but one party has always paid without regrets. Is it possible for this unfair relationship to last forever? If General Li parted ways with the Tang King in the future, which of his people would be his opponent? And who wants to be his opponent?
The answer was within reach, but Dou Cong shook his head vigorously and drove it out of his body. He refused to believe that this would happen, and at this moment, the Tang king's power had already encompassed Hedong, Guanlong, and Gyeonggi. With the efforts of the auxiliary general Li Xiaogong, Bashu is just around the corner. Coupled with the six counties of Hebei in the hands of the general, half of the world has been owned by the Li family. At this time, breaking with the Tang Gong family will only make both sides lose. And after the two sides join forces, the heroes of the world will be unstoppable, and the troubled times will be ended in a blink of an eye.
The general once said that he only wanted to protect the people! Thinking of Li Xu's various actions in the past, Dou Cong's mind finally found a reason to settle down. Regardless of whether Shangguan Bi's question just now was out of curiosity or had ulterior motives, he no longer thought about what damage this beautiful fairy-like woman could play in the future development of Liang Li. He tried his best to convince himself that it was God who favored the Tang King, so that the Tang King could grab the general's pearl in the mud and sand. Since God has arranged for Tang Gong and the general to meet, it has already been decided that a good story between the two of them will be written!
Thank God! Dou Cong prayed silently. As a spectator and witness of the story, he felt extremely proud and satisfied at this moment.
