The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 146 The Hero's Dilemma

The news that Yu Wenhuaji, Yu Wenzhiji, and Yu Wenzhiji were in conflict, and the news that Li Mi was a fisherman, made Dou Jiande suddenly nervous. No one thought that Yu Wenhuaji would be finished so soon, without Yu Wenhuaji's restraint:

Can I stop Li Mi?
Is there still a chance to occupy the entire territory of Qingzhou?
Kill Guozi and Yu Yulin, and then take down Diaoyin in Liangshidu and Yang Tong in the second county of Yan'an to give yourself time to develop?

Is there still a chance to achieve world supremacy?

……

The series of problems brought about by Yu Wenhua and the ending made Dou Jiande, who is only in Langya and Gaomi counties, very worried.

Qingzhou is his only way out, but it seems to be too late for development now. Once Li Mi succeeds in taking control of Luoyang, will he allow Dou Jiande to gain a foothold in the twelve counties of Henan?

The answer is obviously no.

Because if it were me, I would never give others a chance.

But at this critical moment, the third brother Liu Heikai disappeared, and no one could help him, which made him seem to have lost a support, which made him upset. Xian Niang felt even more irritable.

At this time, a guard reported at the door: "My lord, Kong Changshi has something urgent to see."

"Please!" Dou Jiande was overjoyed.

Kong Changshi's name is Kong Deshao. He used to be an official of the Sui Dynasty. Now he is an important staff member of Dou Jiande. The confidant of Dou Jiande.

After a while, Kong Deshao, who was not very elegant, walked in quickly, "See you, my lord!"

"Long history without courtesy!" Dou Jiande, who was canonized as the King of Lu in the Southern Sui Dynasty, said hastily: "Mr. Kong, what should we do now? What is the way out?"

Kong Deshao knew that Yu Wenhuaji's defeat had affected Dou Jiande's confidence, and said with a slight smile, "Your Highness is overwhelmed. Although Li Mi was lucky enough to win, he has not yet reached the point where he can become king and Liba. We still have time to seize Qingzhou. "

"Please tell me in detail, sir?" Dou Jiande's eyes showed expectation.

Kong Deshao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Li Mi has the title of Shangshuling, and the first person he will deal with is Wang Shichong in Luoyang City, and Wang Shichong is not a cheap lamp. If the humble official guessed correctly, Wang Shichong will take it down in a short time." The power of Luoyang is like that of Dong Zhuo, who coerces the emperor to command the princes!"

Dou Jiande sneered and said, "Who can make him! It's just us."

Dou Jiande is a reckless hero, but he also knows very well that he cannot be enthroned as a bandit. If he wants to achieve great success, the first step is to wash away his identity as a bandit. Proclaiming the emperor directly, Yu Wenhuaji, Li Yuan, Wang Shichong and the others are all going to take this path, which is a political requirement.It is also because of this that he promised to be loyal to Emperor Huangtai who ordered him not to leave Luoyang City, became the King of Lu in the Southern Sui Dynasty, and then conquered the righteous Wang Bo in the name of orthodoxy.

"It's not important!" Kong Deshao smiled, repeating the old saying: "Now that Yu Wenhua and this ally who is not an ally have been lost, Wang Shichong is more anxious than anyone else. The first thing Wang Shichong does after taking power in Luoyang is to It must be to seize the Luokou warehouse to solve the food crisis, and then to recover the entire city of Xingyang, thereby suppressing Li Mi to the east of the canal. Wang Shichong has no way out now, and the humble official feels that the three major events are taking the emperor, seizing the Luokou warehouse, and seizing Xingyang The news will come in these two days."

Dou Jiande didn't quite believe it: "This is just a hypothesis. If Wang Shichong voluntarily abandons Luoyang, what should we do?"

Kong Deshao said with a smile: "The way out for Wang Shichong is Qingzhou. For Wang Shichong, Luoyang is his only foundation. Once he loses it, he will be like a rootless weed. He will face food problems and internal problems. His fate will be the same as that of Yu Wenhua. , Therefore, he has to fight if he fights, and he has to fight if he doesn’t fight. His current problem is also the problem of food. Only by taking down Wagang and restocking the Luokou Warehouse of grain can he have a chance of survival. He will definitely attack Luo Koucheng. At that time, the two heroes will compete for profit, which is a great opportunity for us to quietly occupy Qingzhou."

Dou Jiande also believed in his heart, and sighed: "If this is the case, we still have a chance."

The voice just fell.A soldier reported: "Report to the prince, Luoyang has urgent information!"

Dou Jiande quickly said: "Bring it in!"

A personal soldier walked into the room quickly. Dou Jiande took the letter, opened it and read it quickly. He glanced at Kong Deshao in disbelief, sighed and said, "Mr. Emperor Tai named him Shangshu Ling and Taiwei, took over the military and political power, and bestowed Jiuxi... Then he quickly captured Luokou City and Hulao Pass. Wang Bodang was defeated all the way and escaped from Xingyang! Now Henan County and Xingyang County are all in Wang Shichong hands."

"Wang Shichong did not disappoint us!"

Kong Deshao heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Luokou Warehouse is the land that Li Mi called Duke Wei. After acquiring it, he built it into a strong city. In addition to food, there are countless families of soldiers and soldiers. Li Mi will definitely take back Xingyang and Luokou City! He Now he is restrained by Wang Shichong, and there are two ways to be humble. It can help the prince stabilize Qingzhou."

Dou Jiande admired Kong Deshao's wit and wisdom, "Sir, please tell me, which two strategies?"

"First, Li Mi lives between us and Wang Shichong. If we attack Luoyang for a long time, we will definitely turn around and come east. With our strength, it is really difficult to deal with it! Now Li Mi's people are panicking, and they are most afraid that we will form an offensive and defensive alliance with Wang Shichong. We will take this opportunity to obey him and recognize him as Lord! With this name, when we capture Qingzhou, he will not be able to say anything, let alone attack us for no reason, because his army has mixed members and many factions. To strike at an ally loyal to him would chill the hearts of others."

Dou Jiande thought for a while, then nodded and agreed. In fact, after seizing Luokou Cang, Li Mi was originally recognized as the leader of many anti-kings. Well, when I was in Hebei, my strength was the weakest, but in the end I pretended to be my grandson and became the most powerful. Therefore, Kong Deshao's strategy is very good, so let Li Mi continue to be the first bird, and he just chooses from the rear. It's cheap.

"What about the second plan?"

Kong Deshao was a little confused: "This plan is very insidious. It is not only aimed at Li Mi, but also at Yang Tong. The prince will definitely be angry if he is humbled."

Dou Jiande smiled and said, "How can you be sure I'm angry if you don't say it? I don't blame you. It's He Liangce, feel free to tell me."

"If the lord is angry, I can't do anything about the humble job!" Kong Deshao hesitated for a long time before he said with difficulty: "This plan is actually using Xianniang County King as a medium. She doesn't want to come back now! The humble job means It was rumored that the princess is now Yang Tong's most beloved wife and concubine. With this ambiguous relationship, we are bound together with Yang Tong. Even if Li Mi doesn't worry about the alliance and comes to attack us, but He will be more or less afraid of Yang Tong."

Although Dou Jiande admitted that Kong Deshao's plan was good, he was unhappy in his heart,

Now Yang Tong has many generals, rich wealth, and a large number of naval forces. He is the number one prince in the world. It is not a problem to fight the undefended Central Plains at any time. Without absolute certainty, Li Mi dare not fight with him. Yang Tong confronts each other head-on!It's okay to use Dou Xianniang's reputation as a false prestige. Of course, the prerequisite for carrying out this conspiracy is that Dou Xianniang is the daughter of another family.

In this age of fame and chastity, if something like this happens, Xian Niang will have no other way out in this life except to marry Yang Tong!And can a reckless daughter survive in the deep palace?Then I think that Yang Tong is responsible for the situation I am in today.I became even more upset.

Dou Jiande looked back to the north again, his eyes were full of nostalgia for his homeland, that place no longer belonged to him... Dou Jiande suddenly felt despondent, and sighed: "I agree with the first strategy, and the second strategy, let me Think again, you should retreat first!"

"Retire from humble position!"

Kong Deshao sensitively noticed that Dou Jiande was not in a high mood, so he retreated carefully.
