Empress Dowager Xiao of Liaodu She was overjoyed when she learned that the Liao army had defeated the Chu army and conquered Chudu, the capital of Chu State. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn fact, Empress Dowager Xiao has always hoped that her son can win a battle; However, this big victory came too quickly and too suddenly, which made Empress Dowager Xiao's heart full of happiness and relaxation.

Because the little emperor led the Liao army to victory on the front line, Empress Dowager Xiao thought that she could easily take a few days, so she happily taught herself the kung fu of secretly adopting five little girls in Yun'er's yard.

Who knew that the situation was changing too quickly, and the Empress Dowager Xiao didn't have time to enjoy the joy of her son's capture of Chudu, so the Empress Dowager Xiao received the news.

First of all, Empress Dowager Xiao received a secret report that Xiliang sent more than 200,000 troops to reinforce Chu, and then she received the news that her son was seriously ill. From great joy to great sorrow, Empress Dowager Xiao almost had no time to prepare psychologically. Therefore, Empress Dowager Xiao hurried back to the palace to arrange how the Liao army would deal with this sudden change in the serious situation next.

Empress Dowager Xiao has just returned to the palace, and she can only choose to do it now, one is to send reinforcements; The other was to order Meishuang to escort the little emperor back.

Because of Liao's southern expedition, most of the elite troops of Liao were originally used, so even if they could send troops, the number was not too much, and it made Empress Dowager Xiao worry that once the Liao army loyal to her was transferred to reinforcements, and there was no garrison of her own trusted army, other tribes and power groups in Liao might take the opportunity to rebel and rebel.

Moreover, Empress Dowager Xiao also knew that with the strength of the Liao State, it was impossible to fight against the combined forces of the Chu State and the Western Liang State at the same time; Besides, the domestic situation of the Liao army is not stable in the first place, and many forces of various factions are ready to move. Of course, Empress Dowager Xiao is even more worried about her son's condition, and her son's life is more important than anything else.

So Empress Dowager Xiao sent a small number of troops to reinforce and respond to the retreat of Meishuang's army, and asked Meishuang to find a way to cure the little emperor's illness as soon as possible.

Because the situation of the Liao army on the front line is precarious, coupled with the fact that his son Little Emperor is sick, and his only biological daughter is also on the front line, this not only makes Empress Dowager Xiao feel lonely, but also makes her feel afraid.

It is true that the situation is getting worse and worse, first of all, Empress Dowager Xiao learned that the prince of the Western Liang Kingdom, Tuan Kuan, led an army of 100,000 to prepare to attack Fengting City. Therefore, Empress Dowager Xiao also personally ordered Liang Wangye in Yanzhou to lead a large army to reinforce Fengting City.

However, what Empress Dowager Xiao didn't expect was that Prince Liang not only did not carry out her orders, but instead ordered his cronies Aluge to withdraw from Fengting City without a fight. This made the logistics of the Liao army, which had already occupied Chudu, completely cut off by the Xiliang army, of course, this is not the most important thing, and it made Empress Dowager Xiao worry that Prime Minister Mo Ye's attitude was very ambiguous, and obviously Prime Minister Mo Ye also had a plan in his heart.

Empress Dowager Xiao was more worried in her heart that it was those forces in the Liao State that were about to move all sides, if they knew that Han Jiangxue had actually left the palace, and the current queen was not really Han Jiangxue, these forces might launch a mutiny at any time to force the palace against her.

After all, the Empress Dowager Xiao's son, the little emperor, has just ascended the throne not long ago, and the reason why the Empress Dowager Xiao was able to put her son on the throne of the emperor in the past was mainly to rely on the support of Han Jiangxue.

Empress Dowager Xiao felt that at the dangerous moment of internal and external troubles in Daliao, she had to reuse Han Jiangxue, and only Han Jiangxue's talent and strength could deter these forces that were about to move; Only in this way can the situation inside and outside Liaoning be stabilized.

Where is the snow in Hanjiang now? Empress Dowager Xiao didn't know, so she had to ask Xianglan to find Han Jiangxue on her behalf and invite Han Jiangxue to come.

Empress Dowager Xiao asked her subordinates to find Xianglan, and then Empress Dowager Xiao said to Xianglan straight to the point: "Now that Da Liao has internal and external troubles, you must find Han Jiangxue as soon as possible and ask her to come back to clean up the mess."

Xianglan is worried that after she leaves the Empress Dowager Xiao, the Empress Dowager lacks the protection of her right-hand men, will it be dangerous? However, considering that Empress Dowager Xiao is originally strong in martial arts, there should be no danger for Empress Dowager Xiao to live in the palace all the time; In addition, in order to calm down the internal affairs of Liao as soon as possible. So Xianglan hurriedly said goodbye to Empress Dowager Xiao and went to find Hanjiangxue.

After Empress Dowager Xiao sent Xianglan, she was worried about the change in her son Xiao Xuan's condition, so she hurriedly sent Jin Ju to Chudu to visit the little emperor's condition.

Empress Dowager Xiao sent Xianglan and Jin Ju, and her four maids were no longer by her side.

Empress Dowager Xiao anxiously waited for news of her son's illness and the Liao army on the front line, but the news from the secret agents was very bad. First of all, the Jincheng originally occupied by the Liao army was recovered by the Chu army, and now more than 100,000 Chu troops set out from Jincheng to attack the Chu capital from the east; Moreover, the marshal of the Western Liang State, Tupapu, set out from Tucheng to attack the west of Chudu; And Emperor Chu Xian himself led an army of 200,000 to storm Mucheng.

Once the wooden city is also lost, then the Liao army in the Chu capital will be attacked on three sides, southeast and west, of course, the Fengting City in the north of the Chu capital will also fall into the hands of the Xiliang army, so that the Liao army in the Chu capital is surrounded by enemies on all sides and is surrounded into a turtle in the urn.

Empress Dowager Xiao was tormented by the military predicament and her son's illness, and she suddenly received a strange letter that morning. The cover of this letter reads: "The Empress Dowager Xiao of the Great Liao Kingdom personally opened, this letter is related to the life and death of your son."

The letter was handed over by Empress Dowager Xiao's cronies, and most people couldn't tell the origin of the letter. It was speculated that a masked man had secretly thrown the letter at night next to the gate outside the palace, only to have it discovered by the soldiers on patrol in the morning.

After those pro-soldiers found out about this letter, they felt that the matter was important and did not dare to delay, so they quickly sent the letter to the hands of Empress Dowager Xiao's cronies and maids.

When Empress Dowager Xiao saw this letter, her heart was also shocked. Because the news that the little emperor was seriously ill on the front line was absolutely secret in Liao, and few people knew about it.

So the Empress Dowager Xiao decided to open the letter herself, of course, in order to prevent the letter from being poisonous, the Empress Dowager Xiao opened the letter with gloves.

I saw that the letter only contained a few simple sentences: "Your son has been poisoned by someone, he has been poisoned for two months, and now it is a poisonous attack." This poison is very terrible, if there is no antidote, you can only live for half a month, want to get the antidote to this poison, please come to the south of the city after dark three watches, come to the south of the city to talk in detail, remember that only one person can come." The letter was not signed, and the date of payment was the same day.

After reading such a letter of unknown origin, Empress Dowager Xiao fell into a deep meditation; She couldn't guess if the letter was a hoax. Or is the enemy deliberately setting a trap to lure himself into being fooled and ambushed.

But Empress Dowager Xiao also has some truth in reading what is written in this letter. It turned out that Empress Dowager Xiao received a secret report that the little emperor was seriously ill, but the imperial doctor accompanying the army did not know the cause at all; Therefore, the Empress Dowager Xiao, who is proficient in martial arts, guessed that her son might have been mysteriously poisoned.

Now that this letter is written, it confirms Empress Dowager Xiao's guess, so Empress Dowager Xiao decided to take the risk to meet her, after all, her son's life is more important than anything else.

Originally, Empress Dowager Xiao could have sent Xianglan or Jin Ju to follow her secretly, these two maids had good martial arts and could help them at critical moments, but now these two were sent out by themselves, so Empress Dowager Xiao decided to go alone. (To be continued.) )
