A tall and thin old mink temple, walking in a hurry, almost trotting, came to the queen mother's dormitory.

He didn't need to report the door, he could break in directly, and the other eunuchs and palace maids didn't dare to stop him at all.

When he saw the Queen Mother from afar, he shouted.

The Queen Mother saw that he was in a hurry, and there must be something urgent, so she waved her hand and asked everyone else to go down.

Li Wantang bowed and saluted: "Queen Mother, what you are worried about has happened. But you don't have to panic too much at the moment, the old slave has found their gathering place, as long as the queen mother gives an order, the old slave is willing to take the lead. ”

"How sure are you now?"

"Even if you are not sure, you must do it, and you must control all the people of the Simon family."

"I'm afraid, it's too late." The Queen Mother got up slowly, her expression gloomy: "Ximen Zhensen, this old fox, is not easy to deal with. Don't act too recklessly, because if you don't kill him, you will become a scourge. When the time comes, Meng Zong will open his mouth to me, and it will be difficult for me to deal with it. ”

"But right now, this is a godsend, and if you miss it, I'm afraid there is no better opportunity."

The Queen Mother said: "That cripple has already left the capital one step ahead of schedule, as long as he leaves the capital, even if Ximen Zhensen dies, it will not delay the rebellion of the Ximen family." The most important thing at the moment is to quickly convince Meng Zong, you go now, call Meng Zong in for me, and I will give him a final confession. ”

"Whoa!" Plough Wantang retired.

Meng Zong swaggered to the palace, saw a palace maid who was handsome, and whistled.

He could have killed him by raising his hand, but he couldn't do that.

No matter how arrogant Meng Zong was, he couldn't bring in the killer wolf tooth and the swordsman Ji Yifa, the two nine-rank masters, they could only wait outside the palace.

However, this does not mean that they have no deterrent power, you must know that if the two Nine Rank masters suddenly go crazy and break in, a few palace gates will not be able to stop them.

When the time comes, the fish will die and the net will be broken, and both sides will not look good.

Meet the Queen Mother.

In fact, Meng Zong was older than the Queen Mother, and he was fourteen years older, and seeing that the Queen Mother was still graceful, like a girl, his eyes stared through the curtain.

He really wanted to open the curtain and take a closer look at whether the current Queen Mother was still as gorgeous and moving as she was back then.

When the first emperor got married, Meng Zongke watched the ceremony and admired the holy face, and the Empress Dowager Cao at that time left a deep impression on him.

"Ming people don't say secret words, I want to move the Ximen family, and I need the help of the Meng family. And I can also tell you that if you don't send troops immediately, then Luoyang will become a battlefield. Empress Dowager Cao said bluntly.

Meng Zong was ruthless, arrogant, and reckless, but he was not stupid, he quickly understood what Empress Dowager Cao meant, and said: "It seems that Ximen Zhensen has noticed it, and he has to do it in advance." ”

"That's right." Empress Dowager Cao said: "That's why I summoned you late at night, and now we must settle between ourselves how to fight back." ”

"Okay, I can promise the Queen Mother." Meng Zong smiled: "But what about the conditions? ”

"Condition: You open." Empress Dowager Cao said.

"After the elimination of the Tiger Army, I want the Tiger Army, I want to reshape the Tiger Army, the 150,000 establishment will be owned by me from now on, I will also garrison along the Yangtze River, and the grain in Huainan will be owned by me." Meng Zong's lion opened his mouth.

Empress Dowager Cao sneered: "Meng Zong, if I promised you now, would you think that I was jumping off the wall in a hurry?" Do you think I can't deal with the Tiger Army myself? Also, if I said yes to you casually, would you believe it? This kind of money-losing business, even if I promise you now, will you be at ease? ”

Meng Zong smiled: "Yes, I will be very at ease, there is nothing more reassuring to me." When the time comes, you and the Tang family will unite, and you won't be able to move me, so that I can feel at ease. ”

Empress Dowager Cao said: "You talk like this, aren't you afraid that I will turn your face with you?" ”

Meng Zong said: "Except for this condition, I will not agree." ”

——

Mozhou.

Tang Yuan received a letter, ostensibly written to him by Hu Lanhua, but in fact, it was Queen Tang Qi.

Just as I was about to open the letter, I received another letter, which was written by the Tang Gate Valve.

Unfold the letter and look at it, the content is highly consistent, asking him to immediately return to the capital with his troops, he must be fast, the sooner the better, you can do without baggage, Luoyang will prepare everything for you, including iron armor!

It seems that if there is a problem in Luoyang, the problem will never be small, otherwise it is impossible to urge it so tightly.

Tang Yuan didn't dare to slack off, and ordered Chen Bao to lead 3,000 cavalry to return to Luoyang first, and he led 7,000 infantry himself, and then arrived.

Adjutant General Chen Bao is the most effective general under Tang Yuan, although it is peacetime, Chen Bao trains his troops every day, and this cavalry brigade always maintains a combat state.

As soon as he heard that Tang Yuan asked him to return to the capital, he didn't say a word of nonsense, gathered his troops within a quarter of an hour, and had already rushed out of Mozhou City two quarters of an hour later. Everyone only brought dry food, and no other baggage, and the three thousand people were like a black cloud, rolling towards Luoyang.

Xiao Han saw that the Shence Army suddenly opened up, and sent someone to ask Tang Yuan, what are you doing?

Tang Yuan's reply was: "The imperial court has a secret order." ”

Subsequently, Tang Yuan also took people away, but what made Xiao Han feel strange was that Gongsun Xiong, who was stationed in Mozhou, did not leave, what kind of reputation was this?

Seeing the military changes in Mozhou, Yeluman, the envoy of the Liao State stationed in Mozhou, immediately came to see Xiao Han, and at the same time, the news had quickly spread back to Youzhou.

But later he found out that this army was not going north, but to the south, so he sent another secret order to Youzhou to tell Youzhou the movements of the Liang army.

Xiao Tianzhen, the general of the Youzhou garrison, saw two consecutive military intelligence reports, he suddenly laughed, sent a secret letter back to Shengjing, told the Empress Dowager Xiao, and asked the Empress Dowager Xiao, if there is a war within the Great Liang, will we take the opportunity to take Hebei.

Empress Dowager Xiao's reply was: "Even if I want to take it, there are no soldiers to take it, and the Fuyu people are calling again, and now the fish and sheep people are defending Pyongyang, and they have sent envoys to ask for support, I am still observing, when the fish and sheep people really can't stand it, we will take action." Therefore, at this time in the civil war of Daliang, we must not interfere, and if possible, we will even help the Empress Dowager Cao. As women, we cherish each other, and I don't think she will fail me in the future. ”

Seeing the letter, Xiao Tianzhen frowned, Empress Dowager Xiao was his own sister, he couldn't scold his sister, but he still threw his hand in anger.

God-given opportunities are fleeting, and it will not be so easy to equal such a good opportunity in the future.

But at this time, he suddenly received a letter, unfolded it, and it turned out to be the news of Sangla, the prince of Sangla swallowed Mi Buzan, killed the king of Sangla, swallowed Mi Sanza, has usurped the throne, and now has gathered 150,000 troops, is approaching the right army of Liang Long, determined to annex Longyou in one fell swoop, until Chang'an. Asked Xiao Tianzhen to send troops to attack Hebei, echoing the two sides, and destroying Daliang.
