Dou Jiande’s main room is still in a stalemate. Liu Heita has been on hold since the beginning of a tentative attack on Youzhou. Even Dou Jiande can’t guess what medicine is sold in Liu Heita gourd.
However, Dou Jiande is in no hurry. For him, the longer Liu Heita drags on, the better it will be for Dou Jiande. Once you can’t attack Youzhou or defeat Dou Jiande, you will have a reason to cut a little bit today and finally take away the soldiers from Liu Heita.
It is precisely because of the fear of Liu Heita’s fierce resistance that Dou Jiande is very cautious. From the information he has, Liu Heita wants to seize the Youzhou base, but Liu Heita is not working hard to attack Youzhou. This contradiction makes Dou Jiande very confused.
When he wondered, Yi Ruanjun knocked at the door. "The adoptive father General Su is back!"
General Su in Ruan Jun’s mouth is naturally Su Lie, Su Dingfang and Dou Jiande. When they heard this, they were overjoyed. "Invite him in!"
Su Dingfang came in a moment later and bowed his hand. "See Xia Wang for your humble position!"
Dou Jiande waved his hand and smiled, "Ding Fang, you are finally back!" Saying, I ordered someone to send some food.
"Let’s talk about the situation!" Dou Jiande said that it is no secret that the Sui army took Jingxiang now, but Dou Jiande’s heart is his business.
Su Dingfang smiled, and the long journey made him a little tired, but this time it was not without gains. He not only finished it, but also stayed in the Central Plains for several days, knowing the result of the Central Plains War, and then hurried back to Hebei.
Two people are talking about things in the room. Dou Jiande is listening and thinking.
Now it seems that the marriage between Xia Guo and Sui Dynasty is almost certain. Dou Jiande is satisfied with this result. After all, Dou Honglian is his own daughter. It is natural to hope that she can marry someone who likes to be happy. That is enough for him. Dou Jiande doesn’t want to think about it in the short term.
Dou Jiande, who was in turmoil in Hebei Province, heard that his daughter would go to Bashu with Sui Emperor, so he was relieved about her, but Su Dingfang’s subsequent words filled Dou Jiande with doubts.
Of course, he knew that Liu Heita was threatening after growing stronger, but he still hoped to take a more peaceful approach to solve the matter because of their friendship in the past years. However, Emperor Sui said that Liu Heita still had a plot, and he pointed the finger at Liu Heita just as he had received an anonymous letter.
Is Liu Heita collusion Li Tangzhen conspiracy? Although he has asked Wang Fubao to supervise him, if it goes well, he will seize his army, but it can also be an opportunity. Who can tell the future?
What’s Dou Jiande thinking about Liu Heita’s plot? Maybe he wants to unite Li Tang to seize Hebei? If that’s the case, then Liu Heita is not too heartless. If it hadn’t been for Dou Jiande, he would have died many times.
Dou Jiande thinks that Liu Heita has some ambitions, but this person is loyal and should not rebel, but he believes that Yang You’s words must have some basis, and this statement is similar to that anonymous letter! This forced Dou Jiande to re-examine Liu Heita.
Dou Jiande felt that something had to be done. Otherwise, once Liu Heita really joined the Li Tang League, it would be a disaster for Xia Guo and Hebei, and this situation was definitely not what Dou Jiande wanted to see.
While he was thinking, Cao Dan hurried to the door and shouted, "Oh, no, Xia Wang!"
Before Dou Jiande could speak, Cao Dan came in and said, "Mrs. Liu, the king of Xia, and her son’s house were killed!"
Su Dingfang gasped. What’s going on? Dou Jiande "rubbed" up and his face had changed, but he still forced himself to keep calm and walked towards the door. "Go and have a look!"
Cao Dan and Su Dingfang walked out of the Summer Palace with three people, and Qinbing had already prepared the war horse. The three of them ran across the war horse to the East Palace of Han Dynasty, and Dou Jiande was in a very bad mood. How did Mrs. Liu die? !
Although he has a heart to cut down his vassal, he has to do it step by step. Unless he can capture Liu Heita with a fatal blow, it is possible to lift the danger that Liu Heita has a heavy army. But this time is not what he thinks! When this happens, Liu Heita is bound to be even worse, and maybe it will immediately turn against Hebei and ignite the war.
Dou Jiande heart guess who is secretly play games? Is it Luo Yi or Li Tang? No matter who is good for them!
Handong Wangfu is already full of soldiers, three steps, one whistle, five steps and one post, which can be described as heavily guarded. Dou Jiande jumped his horse in a hurry and walked quickly towards the mansion. He entered the gate. There were several bodies lying at the door of Handong Wangfu. As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a thick scent of blood. Dou Jiande suddenly asked Fan Yuan, "Have you counted them?"
"Xia Wang has counted more than 50 people in Handong Wangfu, and there is no one left!" Fan Yuan’s voice is shaking. Obviously, he is not afraid of killing, but of Liu Heita. How will he look once Liu Heita knows about it? The whole Hebei army knows that Liu Heita was killed with a bad temper, so I’m afraid there will be endless hatred to solve it.
Dou Jiande took a deep breath and lived a long life. It was unexpected that it was hateful that the Wang family in the eastern Han Dynasty was killed, so he could explain to the eastern Han Dynasty. He asked himself that it wasn’t his hand, but it was Le Shou, the general of Xia Guo’s capital, who went out to war, and his wife died inexplicably with no one left. Just for this, Dou Jiande could get away with it!
How did he explain to King Han Dong? This is a big problem.
"Where are they?" Dou Jiande rubbed his forehead and asked him if he felt a terrible headache.
Fan would like to express the words of King Bai Xia. He stepped towards the courtyard. Dou Jiande Su Dingfang, Cao Dan and others followed closely and arrived at the courtyard after passing through half a column of incense. There were several bodies in the courtyard. Liu Heita’s fat, fat and extremely black wife was impressively impressed. In addition, there was not much blood in his slightly mentally retarded body, Liu Heipang, which made Dou Jiande a little strange.
Dou Jiande crouched down before he left and observed carefully. He found that Mrs. Liu and Liu Heipang were stabbed in the body. This knife was fatal to the throat. Obviously, these are well-trained killers to have such skills
Su Dingfang also squatted down after careful observation, "Xia Wang, these killers are well-trained and not ordinary people."
Dou Jiande nodded. He opened a neck wound and looked at it carefully.
Su Dingfang added, "This is a scar caused by the horizontal knife, and the blade of the thin knife is very thin. The place of origin is Bingzhou or Youzhou." He pinched the corpse and tried the skin elasticity. Su Dingfang made a judgment. "He died about last night when he was ugly!"
Dou Jiande "well" obviously agreed with Su Dingfang’s judgment. He looked up and asked Fan Yuan, "Did you ever find anything?"
Fan Yuan whispered a few words, and Dou Jiande stared, "Show me something!"
A moment later, Fan Yuan came over with a box in his hand. Dou Jiande was wondering what was in the box when Fan Yuan had come to him and gently opened the box. In the box, there was a horizontal knife with a thin blade. The sun shone with golden light and there was blood on the sword.
"Xia Wang’s whole Handong Wangfu has this one," said Fan Yuan.
Dou Jiande took the box of this knife as evidence, but Dou Jiande didn’t feel any joy because the handle was engraved with three words "Summer Palace"! Dou Jiande hey hey smiled two these thieves are really well-intentioned, leaving a knife, which is equivalent to leaving a piece of evidence that the Handong Wangfu was killed by Dou Jiande, the king of Xia!
Dou Jiande naturally didn’t send someone to kill him, but would Liu Heita believe that sentence? Whether he believes or not, how can he swallow the tone that his wife and children were killed?
Dou Jiande quickly asked, "Are there any special people in the city these days? Especially near the Wangfu of Handong! "
Fan Yuan shook his head and said that he didn’t know that Dou Jiande immediately ordered "check the blockade city and go door to door immediately!" Fan Yuan and Cao Dan were ordered to leave.
Su Dingfang hesitated, "Xia Wang, I’m afraid those murderers have escaped from the city. If you rashly search the city, I’m afraid it will cause anxiety among the people in the city."
Dou Jiande didn’t speak. He walked slowly to Liu Heipang’s side and looked at the body with a sigh. "The murder happened last night. Now it’s been five or six hours. I’m afraid they have left Leshou. It’s even more difficult to trace it. What I did was just a watch. I didn’t do it!"
"No matter whether King Xiang of Han Dong believes that I can show him that I have no reason to do this, and I will not do it because I doubt it at this time." Dou Jiande’s thoughts are a little confused because he feels that the consequences of this matter are serious
Su Dingfang also white Liu Heita soldiers 50,000 to 60,000. It is extremely unwise for him to fight against it. No matter whether it is done by Youzhou, Luo Yi or Li Tang, Luo Yi and Li Tang will take this opportunity to attack Hebei once the Hebei military department happens!
The advantage of Hebei is that there are many people and many people, and the adherents of the Northern Dynasties have fierce folk customs, but the disadvantages are also obvious. That is, there is almost no danger in Hebei, and Ma Pingchuan is surrounded by enemies. Once Xia Guo is divided, Li Yuan, Luo Yi, Shi Biao and Wang Shichong can take the opportunity to seize Hebei.
Although Dou Jiande has a lot of troops, it is inevitable that so many forces will fight at the same time! Dou Jiande frowned together. He felt that the best way to deal with this matter was to catch the murderer in order to alleviate his Liu Heita crisis and avoid the division of the summer country.
Chapter 369 Hebei crisis
The people of Le Shoucheng suddenly found a group of soldiers in the street, holding horizontal knives and spears in their hands and quickly mobilizing them. Soon, four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest were blocked and no one was allowed to go out.
Fan Yuan, Cao Dan, Ruan Jun, etc. will tie soldiers around the city to search for places, especially inns and gambling houses, which are the key points of Xia Jun’s search. They viciously broke in and searched every room closely to check the identity of these people
Some timid shopkeepers were frightened by Xia Jun. They wondered why Xia Wang, who had always cared for the people, suddenly sent several soldiers to search everywhere. The timid shopkeeper fawned on the inquiry but was coldly stared at by the Xia Jun soldiers and never dared to speak again.
The whole Leshou City is under martial law. Dou Jiande took Su Dingfang City to look around. Even if he wanted to find out the murderer, Dou Jiande always loved the people. If he didn’t want the soldiers to harass the people during the chaos, the people were already suffering. Dou Jiande didn’t want to harass the people and cause them trouble.
The results of the inspection were not bad. Although the soldiers were a little fierce, they didn’t take the opportunity to rob the people of money and women, and that was enough. The news kept coming back and made Dou Jiande’s heart tighten.
