This general is Dou Shiyuan.
After leaving Jingzhao, Zheng Ji has maintained close contact with Dou Shiyuan.
This is done to let him know the situation here on Shannan Road as much as possible, so that he can respond at any time if something unexpected happens.
When Zheng Ji and Du Fengju decided to go to Lishan secretly, she informed Dou Shiyuan about it.
Although she didn't know that she would meet Hu Chong, Hu Fang and others along the way, she didn't know that there was an armory at Liyun Village, and she didn't know that Zheng Xun would die in her arms, but...
She wanted to use the bandits of Liyun Village to deal with Ling Hanxiao. Dou Shiyuan knew this purpose.
After descending from Lishan Mountain, she sent the news back to Jingzhao as quickly as possible.
What she told Zhao Shuao was about riding a thousand miles, which was true, but the first person the news was sent to was not the palace, but the Dou family.
During this period of time, Dou Shiyuan has been paying attention to the movements of Shannan Road. In fact, it is not just him, but also the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
They all know that Wuge is suppressing bandits on Shannan Road, and this actual battle will determine the leader of Wucheng.
This is an influence on the surface, but secretly, it is related to whether Jiang Bin can regain her favor.
Behind Jiang Bin is the Jiang family, the richest man in the country.
To put it bluntly, the battle of the leaders of Wuge may also affect the direction of the country.
In addition, it was almost the end of the year and there were no major events in the court. Therefore, the courtiers paid more attention to Shannan Road.
Before Zheng Ji left Beijing, he had a long conversation with the Dou family.
Therefore, Dou Shiyuan knew that His Highness Chang Ding was going to Shannan Road and would have to fight against General Shannan Wei sooner or later.
It was serious and cruel to deal with the Yiwei General, and he knew it without anyone telling him.
As a supporter in Jingzhao, he had already been prepared for a tough battle.
But he didn't expect that this battle would come so early and so fiercely.
After receiving the news from Zheng Ji, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
He saw a huge wave roaring towards him, and if he was not careful, it would be a disaster.
He took the emergency report and rushed to his grandfather Dou Gui's yard. He gasped and said, "Grandpa, what should we do?"
When Zheng Ji conquered Dou Shiyuan, he said that the entire Dou family must be used by her, so what Dou Shiyuan knew, Dou Gui also knew.
Dou Gui took the urgent report and read it hastily, his brows furrowed.
Your Highness really... trusts them!
This kind of trust makes them feel hot inside, but it is also a great pressure.
Dou Gui took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "Why are you panicking? Your Highness has already made arrangements. We just have to go all out to implement them."
Hearing what his grandfather said, Dou Shiyuan calmed down a little.
He suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded: "Grandpa, you are right. Your Highness has done what she can, and we must try our best to fulfill Your Highness's instructions. I will go find Dou Cong right now!"
Although Dou Shiyuan and Dou Cong both have the surname Dou, the two families have little contact with each other.
The reason why he wanted to find Dou Cong was because the first person who could make a difference in this matter was Dou Cong.
Dou Cong is the minister of the Ministry of War. Speaking of it, he can hold this position because of the help of His Highness Changding and the Jiang family.
Previously, soldiers in Shuzhou mutinied, and Dou Cong was ordered to go to Shuzhou to quell the rebellion. Without the Jiang family's 100,000 taels of silver to fund Jiannan Road, Dou Cong would never have been able to quell the mutiny in Shuzhou so quickly with his own efforts.
Maybe, he will be imprisoned for his failure to quell the chaos.
Although Dou Cong didn't show it on his face, he appreciated Princess Changding and the Jiang family's help in quelling the chaos.
He was grateful to His Highness Changding. He also went to watch the battles in many martial arts competitions in person, and he became more and more fond of Princess Changding.
In the matter of suppressing bandits in Lizhou, he also secretly contributed to help Zhao Shuao promote this matter.
When Dou Cong heard that the concierge came to report to Dou Shiyuan for an audience, he was really confused.
He was the minister of the Ministry of War, and Dou Shiyuan was the minister of the Ministry of Personnel. They had no contact with each other. Dou Shiyuan
Why do you suddenly ask for a meeting?
Moreover, they even ignored the etiquette of sending greetings three days in advance. Why are you in such a hurry? .
Since the Dou family is called the Dou family of the Ministry of Officials, it certainly has extraordinary influence in the court. Although Dou Cong is not afraid, he does not want to offend such a family.
He thought for a moment and asked the concierge to welcome Dou Shiyuan in.
However, after listening to Dou Shiyuan's request, he couldn't help but feel deeply annoyed.
It shouldn't be!
We really shouldn’t meet this person!
If he hadn't met this person, he wouldn't have known about Shannan Road. But we can't turn back time. Why did he meet Dou Shiyuan!
If he had known this, he would not have met either the Dou family of the Ministry of Personnel or the Dou family of the Ministry of War!
"Master Dou, this matter... I can only leave it to Master Dou." Dou Shiyuan pretended not to see Dou Cong's bitter face, bent down and bowed deeply, feeling a little happy inexplicably.
Although there is no way to alleviate my own heaviness, I feel relieved when I see others who are equally heavy.
Dou Cong was silent, feeling really embarrassed.
Without him, what Dou Shiyuan requested was the latest news from Shannan Road.
The death of General Shannanwei, Li Yunzhai Armory, and the third prince. Any news that is placed in the court will cause turmoil.
What's more, is the three in one?
What made it difficult for him to make a decision was that His Highness Chang Ding came to seek his support.
In other words, he was asked to add fuel to the flames in front of the emperor - this request was indeed difficult!
"When did Lord Dou take refuge with His Highness Changding? Your Highness really trusts you so much that he actually informed you of such secrets. I really admire and admire you!"
Dou Cong twisted his beard and replied, his tone somewhat sinister.
"Hey, what kind of secret is this? Master Dou, don't you know these things now?" Dou Shiyuan spread his hands and pretended to be helpless.
Everyone was indifferent, and no one thought of stabbing anyone.
Immediately, Dou Shiyuan said seriously: "Master Dou, under the order of His Highness, I dare to ask Master Dou: Do you think Ling Hanxiao is innocent when these things happen in Shannan Road?"
Naturally, Dou Cong couldn't answer this.
As the minister of the Ministry of War, he also served as a recruiting envoy to quell the mutiny in Shuzhou. He really knew what was going on in the army.
These major events all happened on Shannan Road. How could Ling Hanxiao be innocent?
However, regardless of whether Ling Hanxiao was guilty or not, His Highness Chang Ding secretly captured a third-grade general. This was a public insult to the face of the sixteen generals!
As the Minister of War, what can he say?
Dou Shiyuan was not disappointed when he heard this, and then smiled and asked: "Then, Mr. Dou, I want to ask you again, are you... willing to see Shannan Guards killing each other like Shuzhou?"
These words made Dou Cong's expression change.
He put away the polite smile on his face, looked majestic, and said coldly: "Master Dou, be careful what you say!"
Shuzhou rebelled and soldiers killed each other. No one in the court knew these scenes better than Dou Cong.
Dou Shiyuan's words struck a chord in his heart.
His reaction made Dou Shiyuan feel reassured.
Sure enough, Dou Cong's heart was soft, and His Highness was right.
"First update!"
