Chapter 870 Good News

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The despicable villain in Dou Dan's words is naturally not someone else.

His feud with Li Po is relatively legendary, and the time span is also a bit long.

Beginning in the seventh year of Daye, Yang Guang gathered his army in Hebei and prepared to march to Liaodong in the coming year. At that time, Li Jiancheng, Dou Dan and other descendants of the Guanxi family rushed to Zhuoxian one after another to obey the order.

Li Jiancheng was in charge of transporting grain and grass, and Dou Dan was in the Ministry of War.

At that time, Li Bi was harassed by her cousin and asked to be a disciple of Li Jiancheng. So Li Jiancheng found Dou Dan and went with him to meet Li Bi and had a meal in Li Bi's army.

The person who acted as the cook at that time was Li Po. Many years have passed, and every time they think about the scene at that time, only they know how these people involved felt.

Later, Dou Dan married Li Xiuying, the second daughter of Li Yuan. Not long after their marriage, Dou Dan went to Jinyang to serve, and he also took his wife to Yunnei to give Li Po an official position.

At that time, Li Po entertained them with delicious food and drinks, and the courtesy was very respectful, which made the couple very happy. After Dou Dan returned to Jinyang, he often said good things about Li Po in front of Li Yuan.

When Li Po went south to Yanmen, he got Li Yuanji out of Jinyang Jiancheng. After the battle, Dou Dan, who was accompanying the army, almost lost his life. His brother Dou Jing died, and he followed Li Yuanji southward in embarrassment.

Now the feud was serious, so Li Po was called a despicable villain by Dou Dan.

Isn't that right? The children of the Fufeng Dou family have made friends with you and treated you as a friend. You are so good. You almost killed her and even killed her brother. Naturally, you are extremely despicable and a villain.

.

The fate between the two was not over yet. Li Po led his army south to Hedong and reached the edge of the Yellow River in a battle. Kansai was shaken. Li Yuan sent an envoy to sue for peace and wanted to wait for a while.

The envoys sent were mainly Li Xiuning, Wei Jie and Dou Dan. At that time, Dou Dan had a bad opinion of Li Po and wanted to give Li Po a few blows when he found the time.

But it's just talk. Li Po said that he was very generous and didn't care about this. Besides, Dou Dan couldn't take advantage of his words when he was in Yunnei, let alone after he became a prince.

That mission made Dou Dan very hurt. He felt that the people in Hedong were ungrateful. As soon as Li Po arrived in Hedong, the people in Hedong were no longer willing to serve the old master. They would not even say a word to the new master.

The look on his face is really irritating.

Dou Dan was actually on the rise at that time. After conquering Xue Ju, he had made many military exploits and had become prominent among the Dou family's children.

But compared to Li Po Lai, where did he come from? One is fluttering his wings and flying straight into the blue clouds, while the other is climbing the mountain step by step.

Dou Dan was very unconvinced, but he also realized that their identities had undergone earth-shaking changes and it was difficult to compare them.

Later, Dou Dan came to Shu as an official. In addition to his family's wishes, he also wanted to stay away from that person and never meet that person again. Every time he met, he was very unlucky and his mood would be depressed for a long time, as if

If they are in conflict with each other, how can they still survive if they meet each other a few times?

……………………

But now Dou Dan felt that he was going to be unlucky again. If Consort Chai in Sichuan was the most unwilling to surrender to the enemy, then Consort Dou was also the most determined resister.

Just watching the battle at Jianmen closely, wishing he could replace Dou Dan who led the army to defend the city from Pang Qingyun. When Zhang Lun and Yu Wenwo failed to attack Jianmen and led the army to retreat to Miangu, they just breathed a sigh of relief. The pig teammates behind them

I gave him a hard blow.

The news that Liu Hongji, the general of You Xiaowei, had killed Li Chongyi, the governor of Yi, and returned to Tongzhou safely reached Mianzhou. Dou Dan was so shocked that he almost killed the person who sent the message on the spot.

I just said that I would join Xiao Mian a few days ago, so that's it. After all, the general trend is like this. If you don't join Xiao Mian, how can you join Li Ding'an? That despicable villain is used to hiding things from others...

For example, the family letters sent from Chang'an were all urging him to surrender quickly so that he could go back to Chang'an to gather together. If you look at it, you can see that he was forced to write it. Especially for Dou Guang, a seven-foot tall man, how could he just surrender?

drop……

But in a blink of an eye, Liu Hongji killed Li Chongyi. It was obvious that he and Li Xiaogong had not reached an agreement. There were strong enemies from outside and troubles from within. Well, it was not unexpected.

Li Xiaogong was so incompetent that expecting him to lead everyone out of the situation when the army was approaching was a fool's errand. In addition, Dou Dan and Li Xiaogong had a feud for a long time, so they were even more unwilling to help him stabilize the situation.

All I think about is what should I do?

After convening the staff to discuss for a while, someone said something that Dou Dan took to heart.

"The situation is over... General Liu and the prince do not need to fight each other. As long as they ignore each other, everyone will naturally become disloyal. What can they do if the Jianmen can be defended?

In addition, the food and grass are all in Yizhou, and General Liu will definitely raise his troops to attack. Otherwise, he will be in trouble. Everyone knows that the emperor and the prince are not on good terms. After that, the food and grass will be cut off, or the emperor will be summoned to return to Yizhou. What should we do?"

With the internal strife, the situation is over, that's what the staff wants to say.

What happened next is easy to predict. Liu Hongji launched an army to attack Yizhou. Can Li Xiaogong stop him? If he can't stop him, he may call Liang Jun into Shu to help him put down the rebellion.

Liang Jun is just what he wants... Chai Shao is in Kuizhou, will he let Liang Jun attack his old friend? Moreover, Chai Shao has been wanting to take charge of Shuzhong in the past two years, maybe this time will be his chance?

Dou Dan thought about it all night but couldn't figure it out. He even made himself dizzy and uncomfortable. Next, he had to send food and grass to Jianmen. It was really a ghost.

What finally made him make up his mind was the transfer order sent to him by Shu Zhongxingtai and Liu Hongji's letter.

No need to ask. Li Xiaogong wanted to transfer him back to the Xingtai and talked about discussing important matters together. Dou Dan just cursed at that time, "Damn the Xingtai. Xijing has been occupied by others for more than half a year. What kind of Xingtai is there in the middle of Shu?"

Liu Hongji's letter arrived as expected, urging Dou Dan to join him in attacking Yizhou so that Shu could have a wise new master.

As for whether it was Liu Hongji himself or Chai Shao who wanted to take over Jinguan City, the letter did not say anything.

What chilled Dou Dan was that neither side seemed to pay much attention to the army outside Jianmen. Once something happened to Mianzhou, could Jianmen still be able to defend it?

………………………………

In November of the first year of Yuanzhen of the Tang Dynasty.

Dou Dan, the governor of Mianzhou, personally led his troops to aid Jianmen. That night, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders, Dou Dan killed Pang Qingyun and more than ten of his trusted officials and subordinates.

The people escaped from Jianmen, and the rest surrendered.

Obviously, the gentle Dou Sanlang back then had grown into a qualified Kansai nobleman. He didn't even ask Pang Qingyun what he thought before he killed him.

The next step is simple. He controls the entire Jiange and Mianzhou behind it. Dou Shijun, who calls himself a good man, sends a letter to Miangu and offers the sword gate.

Zhang Lun and others stayed outside the pass for a month, and finally entered this world-famous pass without any effort...

…………………………

The good news about arriving in Chang'an was actually almost ten days ago.

The time has entered the twelfth lunar month, and the weather in Sichuan has become even worse. It has snowed in some places. It is not known whether they will take advantage of the opportunity to march into the hinterland of Yizhou after getting Jianmen, or whether they will just sit back and watch the internal fighting between Liu Hongji and Li Xiaogong, and just take the bait.

Benefits or something.

After receiving the news of the victory in Shuzhong, Li Po was naturally in a good mood. After the courtiers got the news, they were also very happy. If Shuzhong could be pacified this winter, they could send troops to the hinterland of the Central Plains next year.

It's just that Li Yuan's old people have a bit of a mixed feeling. After all, the old master has just died a few days ago. Those people in Shu were their colleagues before, but now they have been defeated so miserably, which can't help but make people feel sad.

Especially members of the Dou clan like Dou Cong, who would hide from people around the New Year, which meant that the Dou clan was also "ashamed", but Dou Dan's mother-in-law took several children to her sister's house and cried for a while.

, saying that someone from the Dou family proposed to divorce her and let her sister make the decision for her.

Li Xiuning was naturally very annoyed after hearing this, but she and Li Erniang were not born from the same mother, and Li Yuan had little contact at that time, but now he came to her house to cry, obviously because she was the only one in the Li family who could dominate the Dou family.

One head.

Li Xiuning was already upset by the news in Shu, and Li Erniang's incident only added fuel to the fire. At the same time, it also made Li Xiuning understand that the Li family in Longxi had entered the most difficult period.

Both his father and brother are dead. The main branch of the Li family has withered away. The other houses close to the main branch are also not in good shape. Not many people have died, but they have all lost their official positions and are hiding at home without showing their faces.

After months of waiting and watching, some people must have felt that the Li family in Longxi would not improve in a short time, so more and more people added insult to injury.

So this is the most difficult moment for the Li family in Longxi. Today, Li Erniang came to the house to cry. Maybe after a few days, groups of concubines will come to the house to cry.

What makes Li Xiuning particularly angry is that when his father was here, all the men of the Li family were promoted to noble positions. They were so proud that they called their friends around, which was really a big deal.

But today, there is no one who is useful. Except for Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong, who are still hanging on, almost all the members of the Li family who are officials in counties and counties have been captured. They are hiding in the mansion and sighing, living in drunkenness and dreaming. There is no one at all.

The appearance of a man.

What worried Li Xiuning even more was that the shortcomings of the Li family's large number of people were also exposed at this time. There were too many branches and leaves, which was enough to arouse people's fear.

Think about it, his great-grandfather Li Hu had eight sons. In Li Xiuning's lifetime, there are almost too many descendants to count, plus their in-laws... And this is just one branch of his great-grandfather...

You said that for such a big family, someone wants to attack them when they are down. It is easy to find excuses. This year, a few of them will be convicted, and tomorrow, several Li girls will be kicked out of the house... Over the past few years, the Li family has also

It was completely defeated.

Now there are signs of this. Li Erniang's actions are all trivial. After all, the Dou family did not really drive her out. What the Yang family did is extraordinary. Li Shentong actually betrayed several small officials who were delivering messages for him in Jinyang. His virtue

Such despicableness was unbearable to see, and it was a slap in the face to Mr. Li of Longxi.
