Empress Dowager Xiao took Han Jiangxue's younger brother to quietly go out to secretly travel in the mountains and rivers and play folk games, while Han Jiangxue was still struggling to find her younger brother. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn addition, Empress Dowager Xiao saw that Yun'er regarded herself as the closest person, but she didn't know that Han Jiangxue was looking for him, so Empress Dowager Xiao also felt a mouthful of resentment in her chest, and got the pleasure of revenge on Han Jiangxue for killing her husband.

The secret battle between the two strongest women of the Great Liao State inadvertently made this seemingly powerful Liao State fall into defeat in the next battle to attack Chu, leaving hidden dangers.

Empress Dowager Xiao took Yun'er's hand and said to the old man who was accompanying her: "Ah Xiong, you go and prepare another carriage, and I will take the young master out today." The old man said: "Yes, madam" said that the old man turned around and left, originally Mrs. Xiao came in a carriage later, but in order to keep it secret, Empress Dowager Xiao went out and changed to another carriage.

Of course, Empress Dowager Xiao and her younger brother Yun'er of Hanjiangxue are just touring around the Liaodu, and they will not go as far as Hanjiangxue, after all, at this time, Xiao Xuan, the little emperor of Liao, has also set off from Liaodu to come to Yanzhou to inspect the situation of thirty-six and his daughters, and there are a large number of Liao nobles, generals, ministers and others who came with Emperor Liao. Therefore, Empress Dowager Xiao did not dare to leave the palace for too long and too far.

Emperor Liao came to Yanzhou in the name of inspecting the front line, and rewarded 36 people and his own daughter to meritorious generals. In fact, he was preparing to invade Chu again in the south, and Emperor Liao's plan was to capture the capital of Chu and annex Chu in one fell swoop. This time, the Liao army was full of morale and preparation, and it was 350,000 elite Liao troops who came with the Liao Emperor, and it can be said that the Liao army poured out.

Vice Marshal Mei Shuang, the head of the Liao army in Yanzhou, also learned the news that the Eighteen Cities and his pro-team were stranded outside Fengting City, and she was furious and scolded the Fengting City guard Aluge for being useless and not doing a good job at all.

Vice Marshal Mei Shuang belongs to Empress Dowager Xiao's cronies, she can not give Aluge face, or she can ignore the thoughts of Liang Wangye, who is Aruge's backer, and she looks like she is doing business. As for Aruger's immediate boss, Admiral Nighthawk, belonged to Han Jiangxue's cronies, so she was worried that if Aruge was punished, it would arouse the thoughts of Lord Liang. thought she was pretending to be a public servant for personal revenge.

Vice Marshal Mei Shuang scolded Aluge for being useless, and at the same time ordered Mu Rong to take her with a warrant to Aluge and agreed to Aluge to form the Annan Army. As for the order she gave to Nighthawk, she was to dispatch her elite cavalry to clear out the bandits from all walks of life south of Yanzhou to the vicinity of Fengting City as soon as possible.

Mei Shuang, as a close confidant of Empress Dowager Xiao, is the core real power figure of the Liao State, and has good talent and ability. Therefore, the emperor of Liao wanted to invade Chu again and planned to invade Chu again, and she had known it for a long time.

Mei Shuang asked Nighthawk to dispatch elite cavalry to clear out the bandits from all walks of life near Yanzhou as soon as possible, in order to ensure the safety of the logistics supply line when the Liao army invaded south in the future, and to avoid the logistics supply line being harassed and attacked by the bandits.

Mei Shuang was able to become the deputy marshal of the Liao Army, which shows that her military talent is very good, especially her influence in the Flying Eagle Army is second only to Han Jiangxue, so Empress Dowager Xiao has the idea of replacing Han Jiangxue with Mei Shuang in her heart.

After all, Han Jiangxue's talent made Empress Dowager Xiao feel terrible, and now what made Empress Dowager Xiao feel scared was not only Han Jiangxue's high martial arts, but what made her feel even more terrible was that she and the emperor were both commanding the Flying Eagle Army created by Han Jiangxue.

Back then, Han Jiangxue created the Flying Eagle Army with the secret financial support of Empress Dowager Xiao, and it developed step by step, of course, Empress Dowager Xiao was still Princess Xiao at that time. "Empress Dowager Xiao also relied on Han Jiangxue to make a strategy, and supported her to launch the Liao Palace Mutiny, so that Princess Xiao became the Empress Dowager Xiao, and it was bloody from the princess to the queen mother, and the difficulty can be imagined"

Who knew that now the generals of the Flying Eagle Army only had Han Jiangxue in their eyes, and they did not take the authority of the Liao Kingdom in their eyes. So even if Empress Dowager Xiao personally gave the order directly to the Flying Eagle Army, these Flying Eagle Army generals were perfunctory. In other words, the Emperor of Liao and the Empress Dowager Xiao would not have been able to command the Flying Eagle Army if they had not passed through Hanjiang Xue.

This made Empress Dowager Xiao sleepless, she wanted to destroy the Flying Eagle Army and felt unwilling, after all, the Flying Eagle Army was the most elite army in Liao.

The Flying Eagle Army is like a sharp sword, invincible, but unfortunately this sword is controlled by Han Jiangxue, so Empress Dowager Xiao feels that it is a pity to ruin it, and the consequences of letting it develop are terrible, and the best way is to find a way to have it.

Han Jiangxue, who was fifteen years old at the time, was ordered by Princess Xiao to create the "Red Leaf Society", an intelligence organization "The Predecessor of the Flying Eagle Army". got Mei Shuang's help, and at that time, Mei Shuang was to support Han Jiangxue on behalf of Princess Xiao, because Princess Xiao was not good at showing herself when the Liao State was fighting for the throne at that time, so she could only secretly send Mei Shuang as her representative.

Mei Shuang has worked with Han Jiangxue for many years, so she has contact with many generals of the Flying Eagle Army, and even has good feelings. Therefore, the generals of the Flying Eagle Army may not sell the face of the Liao royal family, but they will give face to Mei Shuang, that is to say, except for Han Jiangxue, only Mei Shuang can mobilize part of the power of the Flying Eagle Army.

At present, the number of the Flying Eagle Army in the Liao army is not large, a total of about 80,000, but according to the principle of building the army in Hanjiangxue, "the soldiers are not many but fine", so the combat strength of the 80,000 Flying Eagle Army can be equivalent to the 150,000 to 200,000 ordinary Liao army. At the beginning, the more than 30 cavalry soldiers who hunted and killed hundreds of tall and noble Liukou were selected from the elite of the Flying Eagle Army.

Mei Shuang's influence in the Flying Eagle Army is second only to Hanjiang Xue, so among the 80,000 Flying Eagle Army, Mei Shuang can command about 30,000. According to Empress Dowager Xiao's thoughts, it is only a matter of time before Hanjiang Xuegong is high, and now the Flying Eagle Army has only 80,000 soldiers and horses. If Han Jiangxue is allowed to cultivate a few more 80,000 flying eagle troops, who in the Liao Kingdom will be able to control Han Jiangxue at that time, so Empress Dowager Xiao decided to kill two birds with one stone. That is to attack the capital of Chu, so that it can not only destroy Chu, but also consume the Flying Eagle Army, of course, this time the commander of the Liao army is not Han Jiangxue, but Xiao Xuan, the little emperor of Liao.

Empress Dowager Xiao understood that if the little emperor wanted to truly establish his authority, he must personally command a victorious war, so that he could make the ministers and generals submit.

At the beginning, the Liao State wanted 36 cities and daughters, but it was just a strategy, in essence, even if the Chu State sincerely dedicated the cities and daughters, it could not dispel the fact that the Liao Emperor was preparing to attack Chu on a large scale. Similarly, the sacrifice of Chu and his daughter is also a helpless strategy, and Emperor Chu Xian wants to take advantage of the sacrifice of thirty-six cities and his daughter to find an opportunity to assassinate Emperor Liao.

In the era of chaos, in the eyes of those big people, the thirty-six cities and their daughters are just chess pieces, and no one will cherish their fate.

Mu Rong came to Fengting City with the warrant of Vice Marshal Mei Shuang, and Aluge hurriedly greeted her and asked her for advice on how to deal with those who refused to enter the city with her own daughter. Mu Rong Yijian didn't have a good impression of what Aluge did, and besides, Mu Rong Yijian belonged to the Hanjiangxue faction, so Mu Rong Yijian didn't bother to help Aluge come up with ideas.

It's just that everyone is a general of the Liao State, and since Aluge is now asking for advice, she also coped: "General Aluge, it is not a way for the two sides to stalemate like this, and now it is getting closer and closer to the time when the Liao Emperor arrives in Yanzhou, or General Aluge will negotiate with those who are with his daughters, you can relax the conditions and allow them to bring thirty warriors into the city." Mu Rong Yijian proposed that she could bring thirty warriors, because she saw that Xianglian and their Xiangcheng warriors were only about thirty, so she casually proposed to allow thirty warriors to be brought.

Now there are a total of eighteen cities and pro-troops outside the city, if each city brings thirty warriors into the city, there will be less than six hundred warriors in total, although the pressure on the security of the city is a bit great, but it is acceptable, and Mu Rong took an arrow with Mei Shuang's warrant to allow him to establish the Annan Army, so Aluge agreed to Mu Rong's suggestion.
