"Well, if you want to play, I'll play with you, I want to see how you can fight me?"

He Tu was not panicked at all, in her opinion, she had 300,000 troops, completely controlled Luoyang, and was already invincible, no matter what conspiracy the other party played, at most it would cause some trouble to herself, and it would never be possible to reverse the situation.

He poured himself a glass of wine, teasing the birds in the cage and drinking to himself.

After a while, another person walked into the room, this person was He Tu's confidant, so he didn't tell him in advance.

Walked directly to Hetu's side and whispered:

"Big brother, the queen mother asked someone to summon you into the palace."

He Tu put down the wine glass in his hand and said suspiciously:

"Second sister?"

And then guess:

"Don't you know, my nephew wants to unite with Situ to deal with me, so he wants to report to me?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head, a woman is a woman in the end, even his sister, who is very good at intrigue, has long hair and short knowledge.

Your current identity, what is happening in Luoyang? How can the wind and grass not fall into their ears?

But even so, he was ready to go into the palace to meet his sister, for the sake of their He family's great cause, some things should be explained in advance,

He Tu thought of this and got up and spoke:

"I'll go to the palace."

The guard who had been standing beside him spoke:

"Why don't I go with my eldest brother?"

He Tu shook his head:

"No, the whole of Luoyang is our people, can I still be in danger?"

The guard beside him didn't speak, and he also thought that He Tu's words made sense.

But the man who just came in said: "It's better to let the third child follow, what if the emperor and the queen mother join forces to set a trap for you?" ”

He Tu looked at his henchman strangely when he heard this:

"You must know that the current Queen Mother is surnamed He, and she is also my own sister."

The man thought in his heart, but the other party was still the emperor's biological mother.

But he didn't dare to say it.

After all, this is already He Tu's family matter, and he knows that He Tu can have today's identity and status, the queen mother in the palace.

Therefore, in his heart, he also thought that the chances of the other party and the emperor joining forces to assassinate He Tu were not very high.

He Tu didn't, he was talking, patted the other party's shoulder, raised his foot and left the room.

The man still felt that something was not quite right.

As if sensing his companion's concern, the man left in the room spoke:

"Don't worry, the eldest brother received the news before, the emperor Xiao'er does have some other ideas, at this time, I don't know what to do in Situ Mansion, and I am not in the palace, so you don't have to worry too much, besides, the queen mother is the eldest brother's sister after all, even if she is ruthless, she can still personally participate in the murder of the eldest brother."

With the comfort of his companion, the man nodded.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much."

He Tu left the house without taking anyone, and yesterday in the court, he reprimanded the new emperor in public, but the other party was helpless against him, which made him more and more rampant.

He thinks that he holds the power of the world in Luoyang, even the emperor does not dare to do anything to him, and he is not afraid of someone attacking him.

In his opinion, the whole of Luoyang is his own territory.

rushed all the way to the palace, and the guards of the palace were also respectful, and they didn't dare to stop him in the slightest.

His vanity, which was unimpeded all the way in the palace, was greatly satisfied, and his ambition continued to grow.

even had the idea that tomorrow he would abolish his cheap nephew and ascend to the throne by himself.

Empress Dowager He also received the news that her brother would attack without a single person.

sighed deeply, her brother's ability, she still didn't know that even the general of Zhennan was not worthy of the name, and she relied on herself to get that position.

Now that he is named the king of Zhennan, he is getting more and more inflated, and he wants to be in a position that is not worthy of it at all.

If you think about it, even if you don't have it, you will be eliminated sooner or later.

"Sister, sister."

In the palace, He Tu was like his own home, and shouted after seeing his sister's palace.

After Empress Dowager He heard the voice, her face flashed a trace of unbearability.

Then he turned and walked back into the house.

"Let him go quickly."

No one replied to her.

She wasn't talking either.

He Tu frowned secretly, and said in his heart: Why is my sister so lonely today? In the past, when were the eunuchs and palace maids not piled up? Did the harem concubines come to visit?

And I shouted so much, why didn't I answer a single one? Even if it's not hard, should you send someone out to pick you up?

Although He Tu is arrogant, he is not a very stupid person.

Thinking about it, my pace slowed down, and I always felt that something was wrong with this?

Then the more he looked around, the more strange he felt, and he suddenly stopped, turned around and walked out quickly.

"King Zhennan, where are you going? The Queen Mother, are you gone? ”

He had barely walked a few steps before he stopped, not because he wanted to, but because an old eunuch in a red robe with a wrinkled face blocked his way.

He Tu's face became surprisingly ugly.

"Zhang Rui!"

As soon as he finished speaking, nine more eunuchs with long knives appeared around it and surrounded him.

"You want to kill me?"

He Tu's face became very cold, and the moment he saw Zhang Rui, he knew that he had been tricked.

What emperor went to Situ Mansion just to deceive her subordinates?

My sister is afraid that she was imprisoned, or she chose to stand on the side of the Liu family.

Of these two possibilities, he is more inclined to the first one, because he doesn't believe that after so many years, so many sisters who have made so many sisters for the power of the He family will rebel at the last moment.

Zhang Rui, the old eunuch in a red robe, smiled coldly, and the folds on his face seemed to be able to trap flies.

"It's not that I'm going to kill you, it's the people of Luoyang who want to kill you, it's the people of Tianhan who want to kill you."

He Tu gritted his teeth:

"I am the king of Zhennan, and I am the hero who helped His Majesty ascend to the throne, and Luoyang has my army of 300,000, you dare to kill me?"

Zhang Rui laughed loudly:

"At this time, you mentioned Your Majesty? Yesterday in the court, you didn't say that. ”

He Tu's eyes looked around frantically, he knew these ten eunuchs, and knew that he would never be able to defeat each other, so he tried every means to escape.

The real-name eunuch looked at He Tu coldly, and Zhang Rui, who was in the lead, shouted:

"He Tu, you have no holy eyes, you don't obey the will, you murder the people, you kill the loyal and good, and you are rebellious, I will get rid of you for Your Majesty today."

After saying that, he took the lead in the attack.

He Tu roared at the same time:

"You try."

Draw the long knife in your bosom and win.

Each of the ten eunuchs made a long red thread, and the soft long thread was like a steel wire in his hand, and it crackled on the ground.

The floor was even cracked.

Although He Tu's strength is not weak, it is not as good as other generals in the army of Tianhan, after all, he can have today's status, all thanks to Empress Dowager He.

The ten eunuchs served by Emperor Zhao's side, and their own strength is so good that Zhang Rui alone is enough to clean up He Tu.

At this time, at the same time, He Tu had no room for resistance at all, and was injured in an instant, and then he was entangled by ten red ropes.

"Zhang Rui, you dare to kill me, I am the king of Zhennan, and I am the uncle of the dynasty, the brother of the Queen Mother, and the uncle of His Majesty the Emperor, if you dare to kill me, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will not spare you."

Covered in blood and embarrassed, He Tu, who fell to his knees, shouted frantically.

Zhang Rui sneered:

"Although He Tu is a straw bag, you have been the king of Zhennan for a few days, and it is time for you to say this kind of thing, do you think it is necessary?"

He Tu was very embarrassed at this time, of course he knew that what he said was nonsense, but if he didn't say anything? How can he be willing to die like this?

He's the king of Zhennan! He has an army of 300,000, and the whole of Luoyang is his, and even as long as she wants to, tomorrow he can abolish the current emperor in front of the Manchu Dynasty and sit in that position himself.

But now that he is going to die at the hands of a dead eunuch, how can he be willing?

"I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see the Queen Mother."

He knew that he was in danger now, and that the only way to survive was his sister.

Zhang Rui looked at He Tu, who was entangled in the red thread, and a trace of sadness rose in his heart.

How did this straw bale become the king of Zhennan?

How can there be no reason for the Han not to be chaotic in this day.

"Stop arguing, don't think I don't know what you're thinking? You still don't understand? Your Majesty is in Situ Mansion, who do you think arranged for us? ”

A trace of shock flashed in He Tu's eyes, and then there was disbelief:

"No way, you're lying to me, it must have been arranged in advance by that kid, that's my sister, that's my own sister, it's from my family, how could she harm me?"

A mockery flashed on Zhang Rui's face: "Don't forget, in addition to that, she is also the queen mother of Tianhan?" She is the biological mother of Her Majesty today. ”

He Tu's struggling body froze.

He believed.

Zhang Rui didn't talk nonsense anymore.

"Do it."

The red thread flew over, and He Tu's body was instantly dismembered into countless pieces.

Sitting on an army of 300,000, He Tu, the king of Zhennan, who had been powerful in Luoyang for two months, and set off the beginning of the entire civil strife in Tianhan, died.

Zhang Rui retracted the red line and spoke to the other nine people:

"Let someone clean up, and then go out of the palace to pick up Your Majesty?"

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the Empress Dowager He's bedroom.

"Queen Mother, Grandpa Zhang asks to see you!"

Empress Dowager He, who was holding her head in her left hand and pretending to sleep, her eyelids twitched lightly twice, and then she opened her eyes.

There was a hint of sadness in his eyes, and then he rode again, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Let him in!"

"Squeak!"

Zhang Rui pushed open the door and walked in.

respectfully bowed to the Empress Dowager He and spoke:

"It's done."

Empress Dowager He barely showed a smile:

"It's hard work, I will ask Your Majesty for a reward, you can report this matter directly to Your Majesty in the future, I am a woman's family, after all, I am not suitable to participate in this affairs of the court."

Zhang Rui said from the bottom of his heart:

"The Queen Mother is noble!"

Empress Dowager He showed another smile, and the smile was extremely bitter.

"Go down and serve Your Majesty well in the future."

"Follow the Empress Dowager's decree!"

Zhang Rui bowed and left.

Looking at the other party's departing figure, Empress Dowager He closed her eyes again again, and then took a deep breath and spoke:

"If you notify it, you will say that the mourning family is sick, if there is nothing important during this time, don't come to disturb the mourning family, Your Majesty~ It's the same!"

That night, after the new emperor returned to the palace, he quickly arranged for someone to remove He Tu's first payment, and then personally came forward to subdue Luoyang's 300,000 troops.

When the sun fell again, Luoyang had completely changed the sky.

The new emperor restored his rule over Luoyang, and then in the early dynasty, he removed a large number of civil and military officials who had been to He Tu.

There are fewer officials in the court.

But the people of Luoyang spontaneously went out to celebrate.

In their opinion, at least the traitor who brought disaster to the country was finally dead, although Yumen Pass was still in the hands of Loulan, although Nanban and Goryeo were still attacking the borders of Tianhan.

Although there are still many princes in Tianhan who have united the major families and forces against the new emperor, there is at least a good phenomenon.

The news of He Tu's killing spread throughout Tianhan in an instant as if he had grown wings.

Whether it was the princes who opposed the new emperor in various places or the common people of Tianhan, they were all very happy.

Although those princes are still dissatisfied with Xinhuang, at least in their opinion, no matter how they fight, it is their own business, and it is not the turn of outsiders to interfere.

He Tu's coveting of the throne recently has completely aroused all the hostility of the entire world.

This made some people with ulterior motives change their plans.

It seems that thousands of years have thickened the Liu dynasty in the hearts of the people of Tianhan.

So if you want to overthrow someone with another surname, I'm afraid you have to think about it in the long run.

No matter what people with ulterior motives think? At least at this moment, most of this Tianhan is happy.

But to say that the happiest among them, in addition to the new emperor His Majesty who is proud of the spring breeze, there are probably only the remnants of the many soldiers in Yumen Pass.

From the fact that the DPRK did not send reinforcements, to the loss of food in the battle of Changli and the loss of Yumen Pass, the world seemed to be targeting this menacing and surging army of the west.

The death of comrades-in-arms, the sacrifice of the general, and the guilt of not protecting the territory of Tianhan all tormented the hearts of the remaining soldiers.

The Heavenly Han Divine Soldiers have not been defeated for thousands of years, but they have been defeated.

It was a shame, a shame that all soldiers wanted to commit suicide.

But they can't die, they must recapture the Yumen Pass, which belongs to their Tianhan, wash away this shame with the blood of the enemy, and take revenge on the generals who did not die in battle.

They have to protect the lives of the people of the entire Western Regions of Tianhan, countless people have died in Yumen Pass, and they can't let the Loulan army advance again.

There was no good news for this disastrous army, but when they had lost confidence in increasing their strength and chose to face Loulan's next attack alone, they actually received such good news.

After the new emperor killed He Tu, the first thing he did was to divide the 300,000 troops in Luoyang and support the Western Regions with 200,000.

When he learned the news, Li Ziming's mood was very complicated, he was moved and angry.

What moved was that His Majesty the Emperor was not a fool who only knew how to consolidate his position, he still had the territory of Tianhan in his heart, and the people of the Western Regions.

The anger is that if there is already support for the Yumen Pass, how can it be lost? The soldiers of Tianhan suffered heavy casualties, and the same was true of Loulan.

If they had given them another 100,000 elite soldiers when Yumen Pass had not yet missed, Loulan would probably have been destroyed long ago.

When they knew that there were reinforcements from 200,000 troops, the faces of the defeated defeated soldiers who were numb and lifeless were once again rejuvenated.

Everyone's hearts held their breath, when the Han reinforcements arrived, they must brush up this shame with blood.

They must make the people of Naloulan pay a heavy price.

The remnants of the defeated army of Yumen Pass retreated to the valley eight hundred miles east of Yumen Pass, where they camped and waited for reinforcements to prepare to retake Yumen Pass.

The only good news is that all the soldiers have regained some of their spirits.

Although still lifeless, some of the soldiers had a smile on their faces.

Although the smile is far-fetched, everyone is still willing to smile more after all, after all, at this time, only a smile can make this army that has lost its main general continue to persevere.

Lu Wenhou was also among them, but he couldn't laugh at all.

Yin Yin and Widow Sun were not found.

Liu Wang was also lost.

Lu Wenhou was extremely angry, he remembered the benefactor who changed his fate, and promised him to take care of the mother and daughter, but in the end they were still lost in the war.

He could only pray that the three of them were together now, otherwise he couldn't imagine what the powerless mother and daughter would encounter.

Deserter? Refugee?

Losing a war can be extremely oppressive.

Many people will lose their hearts and become crazy at this time, and those who become crazy, and those who are surrounded by such crazy people, are definitely not a good thing for the mother and daughter duo who do not have any ability to protect themselves.

Lu Wenhou asked the fleeing people more than once, but most of them only cared about fleeing, who would notice others?

Fortunately, today she learned a good news, and then she learned another good news.

A neighbor near Widow Sun had seen her when she had escaped from Yumen Pass, along with her daughter, King Yiliu.

Lü Wenhou and Liu Wang had been living at Widow Sun's house, so the neighbors around had also seen the two.

This news made Lu Wenhou breathe a sigh of relief, although in his opinion, Liu Wang could not completely guarantee the safety of the two people, but fortunately, with a trace of self-preservation, he could only choose to believe in the other party now.

Then hurry up to find the clues of the three people, and strive to find the three as soon as possible.

But before he could find the three of them, an old acquaintance did find him in advance.

Xiang Xiaoer.

Lu Wenhou didn't know what expression to face his benefactor.

He was devastated.

Looking at Lu Wenhou's expression, Xiang Xiaoer, who was hugging the little white fox, frowned very tightly.

He knew something had to happen.

Although on the way to Yumen Pass, he found that the dragon vein roared and the Western Regions Imperial Qi leaked, he already knew the news of the loss of Yumen Pass.

He had a premonition that something might happen, so he hurried all the way.

But it was still a step too late.

He also knew that at the moment of the accident at Yumen Pass, he was destined to be one step late.

But after all, it is not omnipotent, let alone omniscient, according to his inference, Yumen Pass can stalemate with Loulan for at least half a year, but he didn't think that Princess Loulan was so cruel and didn't want to die, and generally knocked down Yumen Pass.
