The iron-blooded general Wan Lin quickly moved closer to Luoyang City with his troops, and he had already made up his mind to help Zhang Yunlong force the Queen Mother to hand over power.

Since then, he has also joined the emperor's camp as a royalist.

He felt that this was the right way and that it would last for a long time.

When his troops were about to enter the South Sanli Pavilion of Luoyang, they found that a force was approaching this side, they were neatly equipped, the array was complete, and the banner of the vanguard was fluttering.

It seems that Huang Ying has also made a decision.

He sent someone to find Huang Ying to discuss important matters, Huang Ying actually said, let Wan Lin go to his army to talk, Wan Lin suddenly found a bad feeling - Huang Ying does not trust me.

Since there is no trust, then what is there to talk about, Wan Lin did not go to see Huang Ying, and the two divisions continued to march towards Sanliting.

Soon after, the two reported to Cao Bao at the same time, and General Cao sat in the military tent.

Next to Cao Bao was the general Su Li, he looked at everyone with a smile, and finally his eyes fell on Zhang Zhikui, "The three generals are all here, let's talk about the distribution of benefits after the war." Everyone understands people, and there is no need to hide it. ”

Zhang Zhikui said: "Let's talk about it first, who do we belong to after the war, I declare in advance that we are working for the emperor, if we are asked to go to Huainan with General Staff Cao after the war, it will not work." ”

At this time, Cao Bao smiled and said: "Generals, don't be suspicious, this point, before I came, my uncle had already made it clear to me. You are doing things for the emperor, and your commander is Zhang Yunlong, not our Cao family. The reason why I'm an incompetent person who leads everyone now is just because I'm easy to come and go, and now I'm just a liaison for everyone, if you think that I, Cao Bao, am only a shallow learner and can't lead you, then you decide for yourself who to be the temporary commander, and when the time comes, I will only be a guide for you. ”

Hearing this, a stone fell to the ground in Zhang Zhikui's heart, and said: "Since this is already the case, I don't think there is any need to change, just ask General Cao Bao to command us and let us do anything." ”

Cao Bao smiled: "Then please arrange the tactics that you have just designed." ”

Su Li didn't directly say the tactical arrangement, but said: "The emperor, Eight Thousand Years Old, and Zhang Yunlong found Cao Sheng together and invited this feat." These people knew each other, and everyone must have thought that they could come together, because they were like-minded or took what they needed. In fact, you don't know that all this is the queen mother's match. And the most important step is that the queen mother personally went to find Prime Minister Tang Zhen. Although Tang Zhen is old, he is the real owner of the Tang Gate Valve. The emperor not only obtained a large amount of gold and silver by stealing money and Fan, but also succeeded in angering the queen mother. Just when the Empress Dowager decided to depose the emperor, the emperor had already left the palace. What does this mean? It is explained that this was arranged in advance by the emperor. I don't know who gave him the idea when he took this step, or if he came up with it himself. ”

Zhang Zhikui said: "For the general situation, even if we don't know the inside story, we can deduce the reason through the appearance, so let's not waste our tongue in this regard now, let's just talk about tactical arrangements." ”

Su Li was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager is determined to depose the emperor, first of all, to get the support of the military, now the imperial army is divided into two aspects, the first is naturally Cao Sheng's Xuanjia Army as the general staff, the second is the Huainan Tiger Army and the Jingzhou Flying Tiger Army of Min Yue of the Great Pillar State, at this time, the Hexi General led the troops to attack Tongguan, at this time Cao Sheng can 'deserve' mobilize the soldiers and horses of Gyeonggi, first of all, the Empress Dowager Cao's die-hard faction Ju Wuming, Su Beiqin and others were transferred to Tongguan. Why Tongguan and not somewhere else? Because the pawn suddenly came to Tongguan with the soldiers, why did the pawn suddenly appear? I think everyone can also figure it out, and this is also pre-arranged. It can be said that in the end, it was Cao Sheng who successfully transferred the queen mother's descendants with the help of the power of the Tang family's gate valve. Now Cao Sheng has completely controlled Luoyang, but the three generals are not Cao Sheng's people. However, you are loyal to the emperor, and at this time the emperor and Cao Sheng are in partnership. ”

Zhang Zhikui knew these words, and he even wanted to interrupt Su Li, not to waste his time anymore.

Su Li saw that Zhang Zhikui was a little impatient, and said with a smile: "Now it's our turn to be the protagonist, we have to take all the gates of Luoyang, and then enter the city to protect the emperor. It can be said that as long as we go in, it is forced to the palace. Whether you can force the Queen Mother to abdicate depends on you. ”

Wan Lin listened with a cold face, and said coldly: "Then why didn't Cao Sheng force the palace directly?" ”

Cao Bao said: "In the end, the relationship between uncle and cousin is between uncle and nephew, and it is not good to force the palace directly." ”

Wan Lin snorted coldly: "The bitch is all done, do you still expect to set up the archway?" Such an arrangement seems to me to be full of loopholes, what if Cao Sheng suddenly changed his mind, or that he lied to us from the beginning? Could Cao Sheng have discussed with the Queen Mother and Min Yue a long time ago, and plan to take us down in one fell swoop? Of course, we are just a group of small fish and shrimp, and the real purpose of the Queen Mother is the emperor, eight thousand years old, Zhang Yunlong, and even the Tang family gate. ”

Hearing Wan Lin scolding Cao Sheng, Cao Bao's face was a little ugly, but he didn't get angry, but said: "General Wan obeys Zhang Yunlong's dispatch, if you suspect that this is a trap, then is it also suspicious of General Zhang?" ”

Wan Lin said: "I'm worried that Elder Zhang will be deceived. ”

Cao Bao waved his hand and said, "No, from beginning to end, I am willing to stay here and be a hostage for you." If my uncle really sets a trap, you will cut off my head and hang it in the city, at least I will die with you, so I don't think you will distrust me, right? ”

Hearing this, Wan Lin smiled and said: "If this is the case, we are willing to believe that General Cao Bao is the same as us, as long as your uncle Cao Sheng does not intend to deceive you, then we can have one mind from now on." ”

At this time, Cao Bao waved his hand to Su Li and said, "Tell the three generals to make specific arrangements, let's do it before dark." This matter is best resolved once and for all this evening. ”

——

In the palace, the atmosphere was already tense to the extreme, and after the Queen Mother asked Li Wantang to kill Han Ding, she got several bad news in a row.

Li Wantang has many hidden stakes in both the military and political circles, and some news has quickly reached his ears, and he hurriedly told the Queen Mother all the news.

Hearing the news, the Queen Mother was stunned and panicked: "Uncle will harm me?" ”

Plough Wantang said: "The news is true. ”。

The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "Then what is it like now?" Even if you want to transfer the Tiger Army and the Tiger Army, it's too late. ”

Li Wantang gritted his teeth and said, "While Cao Sheng is still in trouble, it is better to escape from the imperial city first." ”
