At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 148 What Are You?

Wei County.

After Xu Mu recruited [-] Xiaoguo troops, he began to prepare to build the small town of Wei County into a new fortress.

To be honest, this geographical location is too important. It is located at the junction of the three counties. In the future, it can be attacked and retreated.

There is only one biggest shortcoming, the city wall of Wei County is too short, and it is too easy to be breached, so neither Dou Jiande nor Sima Dekan pays much attention to this fortress.

But for Xu Mu, these are not problems.

He has cement, and as long as he takes the trouble to build it, Wei County can be built into a strong city in a short time.

At the same time, this place is not very far from Jiangdu, and it is located on the banks of the Huai River, which can protect the copper mine of Xiaojinshan in Jiangdu from being successfully transported to Yangcheng.

And as Pei Ju entered Wanmin City, the intelligence system gradually improved, and military information in Wanmin City finally stopped being blocked.

"Li Yuan sharpened his sword and wanted to attack Luoyang. The rift between Wang Shichong and Yang Tong increased, which prevented Sun Ying from entering Luoyang to assist the government. Well... and Empress Xiao."

Standing on the tower, Xu Mu began to think about how to gain more advantages in the coming world trend.

Using the history of the Prophet, he intercepted [-] Xiaoguo's defeated soldiers, greatly increasing his strength.

And history has changed little.

If there were no accidents, the next step would be for Li Yuan to lead Turkic soldiers into the Central Plains and question Luoyang City.

But this time the attack was led by Li Shimin, and then... was defeated by Wang Shichong.

There is no way, Li Shimin at this time has not yet obtained the allegiance of Li Jing and others.

"The next point is to allow Sun Ying to settle in Luoyang smoothly, and then seize Luoyang's military and political power!" Xu Mu pondered, and wrote a secret letter to Sun Ying, asking Zhang Xutuo to bring her back to Yangcheng.

During this period of time in the future, he will stay in Wei County all the time, planning the layout of the Turks.

Sun Ying's reputation has already been created by him, and he is only one step away from settling in Luoyang.

But the road to the rise of poisonous Ling Qian has only just begun.

"If there is no accident, Dou Jiande will enter Liaocheng next and capture Empress Xiao. It is time to find a way to help Ling Qian gain prestige with Dou Jiande."

Thinking of this, Xu Mu once again wrote a secret letter to Ling Qian who was far away in Liaocheng, revealing some upcoming prophecies.

In the letter, he repeatedly urged that Empress Xiao must be protected.

After all, she is Lao Yang's wife. In history, she is also a woman full of legends.

Followed Yang Guang, Yu Wenhuaji, Dou Jiande, Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, Li Shimin...

Even at this time, she is over fifty years old, but she seems to have a magical charm that can fascinate men.

What disgusted Xu Mu the most was the Turkic succession system.

Shibi Khan is now inheriting his father Qimin's wife, who is Lao Yang's younger sister.

Two years later, Shibi's younger brother Chuluo Khan ascended the throne, and then...accepted Princess Yicheng as well.

If he doesn't intervene, it won't be long before Lao Yang's wife, Empress Xiao, will also suffer from the Turkic system.

If Lao Yang knew about this and was wearing so many green hats, he would definitely collapse...

As the protagonist, Xu Mu has broken his heart for Lao Yang, but it's a pity that he can't let Lao Yang know.

At that time... find a chance, throw Empress Xiao into Wanmin City, and let Lao Yang and Empress Xiao have a chance encounter in Wanmin City.

And he pretended not to know the true identities of the two of them.

Anyway, Lao Yang is dead now and has no intention of becoming an emperor, but his career in Wanmin City is flourishing.

……

Liaocheng.

After Sima Dekan's defeat, Ling Qian followed Xu Mu's instructions and fled here.

Empress Xiao, who is in her fifties, is still radiant, and it seems that time has not left any traces on her.

She looked at the rather respectful Ling Qian with a complicated expression, and bowed slightly, "I'll take care of you on this journey."

Recalling the experience during this period of time, Empress Xiao felt like duckweed.

Living in troubled times, she lost the protection of Yang Guang, and no longer lived a life of luxury and clothing, so she could only be forced to be displaced, and she would attach herself to wherever she went.

Yu Wenhuaji is lustful by nature, originally she thought... After Yu Wenhuaji's rebellion, she could not escape being humiliated, but Ling Qian offered a plan to kill Yu Wenhuaji, and after talking to Sima Dekan, arranged her in Liaocheng.

Only then did she, a weak woman, avoid the fate of being humiliated.

Moreover, Ling Qian was very respectful to her, a powerless queen.

Between the lines, they are respectful and respectful, not daring to overstep.

"This Ling Qian seems to be a traitor, but in fact, I'm afraid he is... a rare hero in the world." Empress Xiao thought so in her heart.

Ling Qian hurriedly said: "Empress, please don't worry, with me here, the Empress will be safe!"

Just now, he received a secret letter from the lord, in which he was told to take good care of Empress Xiao.

Therefore, he became more and more sure that the lord has taken a fancy to Empress Xiao.

That's why he respected Empress Xiao.

After all, it is the person whom the lord has taken a fancy to.

"People in the world say that I am unparalleled in poison tactics, but who knows...all my schemes come from my lord."

After bidding farewell to Empress Xiao, Ling Qian walked outside the gate of Liaocheng, quietly waiting for Dou Jiande's arrival.

The lord has said that Dou Jiande will come to Liaocheng soon and take Empress Xiao away.

Let him seize the opportunity, perform well, and become Dou Jiande's guest.

Use this as a springboard to enter Turkic and get into the seat of the Great Master.

Then put the Turks to death...

In this way, he waited at the gate of the city for an hour, and as expected, Dou Jiande's vanguard army was approaching outside Liaocheng City.

He was quickly tied up and joined Dou Jiande's army.

Empress Xiao was also taken away.

Dou Jiande looked at Ling Qian who was forcibly pressed to the ground, half-closed his eyes, revealing his murderous intent.

Because Ling Qian insisted on refusing to kneel, no matter how hard the soldiers pressed him, he would not kneel down.

"Ling Qian? It's Sima Dekan who you pushed to rebel, right?" Dou Jiande said coldly.

Ling Qian was struggling constantly, but he didn't want to kneel down to death, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I, Ling, is as strong as I can be, kneeling up to the sky, kneeling down to the ground, even Sima Dekan can't make me kneel, it's up to you? "

"Break his knees!"

Dou Jiande's expression sank, and he said coldly.

Then two soldiers stepped forward, holding two iron rods, about to smash them down.

Ling Qian swallowed her saliva, accidentally, she seemed to be... pretending to be big.

The script mentioned by the lord does not seem to be like this...

Why did you come here to break your knee when you didn't agree with each other?

He suddenly felt extremely regretful, but the iron-boned character set up earlier made him unable to admit his weakness.

He simply broke the jar, and before his knee was about to be smashed, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahahaha——"

"Dou Jiande, don't you want to know why I stand outside Liaocheng when I know I'm going to die, but I refuse to run away?"

He wanted to use this to attract Dou Jiande's attention, but Dou Jiande was not at all curious, and said lightly: "I am not interested in anything."

Then, with a wave of his hand, the two soldiers continued to raise the iron bars, about to smash his knees.

Ling Qian clenched his teeth and his pupils were about to split. To be honest, this was the first time he was so nervous.

When I was pretending with Sima Dekan before, it was completely different from now...

"Dou Jiande, don't you want to capture Hejian County?!" At the last moment, Ling Qian had an idea, remembering the prophecy of the lord, and said hastily.

As soon as the words came out, Dou Jiande's expression froze, and he said in a low voice: "Wait a minute!"

He was born recklessly, and he knows the routines of those so-called famous generals and celebrities, almost using this method to make you curious.

And he disliked this method the most.

Therefore, regardless of everything, Ling Qian's knee was about to be broken.

However... Ling Qian said the words Hejian County just now, but it touched his heart.

Two years ago, he had occupied most of the Hebei region and conquered several large counties, but encountered a hard bone in Hejian County.

Wang Cong.

Sheriff of Hejian County.

Two years ago, he captured all the counties around Hejian County, except Hejian County.

The prefect Wang Cong is a loyal minister, relying on the fortified city of Hejian County, he has been sticking to it.

So most of Hebei has the surname Dou, but Hejian County...is still surnamed Yang.

"Tell me, how can we capture Hejian County?" Dou Jiande took a deep breath, but was still aroused by Ling Qian's curiosity after all.

No way, two years...

The tough bone of Hejian County has always been an eternal pain in his heart.

In Jiancheng in Henan County, he lost troops and generals, spent countless elites, but still failed to win.

Seeing that the two soldiers holding the iron bars stopped moving, Ling Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he sneered habitually: "What are you? Are you worthy of asking me for advice?"

The scene was awkward for a while.

Deathly silence.

Dou Jiande's face twitched twice, he stared at Ling Qian, and said coldly, "Have you never died?"

Then with a wave of their hands, two soldiers stepped forward and dragged Ling Qian down.

That action was already obvious, his knee was not in danger, but his life would suffer great damage...

Ling Qian's complexion changed drastically, and he wished to slap himself a few times.

Under Sima Dekan's command, he used to pretend to be aggressive, because the master told him that Sima Dekan respected heroes...

The harder he pretended, the safer he was.

But when facing Dou Jiande, the lord forgot to tell him how to act aggressive...

"Dou Jiande! Don't you really want to know how to subdue Hejian County?" Ling Qian shouted again, struggling constantly, trying to save himself.

But Dou Jiande remained unmoved.

Playing on him like this, he has really moved to kill.

No matter how miraculous this poisonous Ling Qian is rumored to be, he will not allow people who humiliate him to live in this world!
When Ling Qian was dragged down, Linghu Xingda, who had just surrendered, hesitated for a long time, but finally chose to stand up, knelt down in front of Dou Jiande, and said in a deep voice: "Please calm down, Duke Dou! Commander Ling has arrogance, Naturally, it is different from ordinary people, if Dou Gong wants to win the world, if he wins Army Master Ling, the big thing will be half done!"

When he was under Sima Dekan's command, he was overwhelmed by Ling Qian's talent.

Seeing Ling Qian today, he hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to speak out to keep Ling Qian.

He knows very well that his talents are mediocre, and it will be extremely difficult to get ahead in this life.

Only by clinging to Ling Qian and hugging her thighs tightly can she have a bright future!
