There was a eunuch complaining that Tang Yuan of the Shence Army grabbed the bridle of the queen's war horse on the battlefield, which was really rude. The body of the queen mother, except for His Majesty the Emperor, no man is allowed to touch it, and it is a sin to take a few more looks. And the queen's horse, as long as the queen is on the horse, no one is allowed to touch it.

This regulation seems to be a little unreasonable, but the Great Liang Dynasty has always been this regulation, and it has been customary.

The complaint was directly sued in front of the Queen Mother, and the eunuch who complained about it wanted to be pierced, isn't this a big problem?

But the Empress Dowager couldn't ignore it, so she asked Cao Bao, the deputy commander of the Gyeonggi garrison, to take the Empress Dowager's edict to reprimand Tang Yuan angrily.

Tang Yuan looked at Cao Bao expressionlessly, and after Cao Bao puffed for two sentences, he felt embarrassed, so he shrugged his shoulders: "General Tang, don't blame, I am also acting on orders." ”

"Oh, of course, I, Tang Yuan, am a reasonable person, I misbehaved, the Queen Mother scolded me twice, it should be, I should accept it with an open mind. Asked General Cao to return to the Empress Dowager Cao, Tang Yuan accepted the teachings of the Empress Dowager, his soul was cleansed, and he was determined to change his past. Tang Yuan's tone was indifferent.

A fool can also tell that he is crooked.

But Cao Bao didn't take it to heart. He still admired this young general in his heart, he had only heard that Tang Yuan could fight, but through this Luoyang battle, he was completely convinced.

Cao Bao, who has six-grade combat power, is not even as good as the veteran Zhang Xuan, but he has a good cousin, and he was arranged to the Gyeonggi garrison camp as a deputy commander at the first order.

It is equivalent to the rank of general of Yun Lu, and is at the same level as Tang Yuan.

This son has never fought a war before, and it is not easy to survive in the defense of Luoyang this time.

And now, it can't be that no one has never fought, in this battle, he learned a lot from the veteran Zhang Yunlong, yes, it can be regarded as getting some military traditions

has been following Zhang Yunlong's side, and he has followed the whole process in every detail.

Min Yue of the Great Pillar State led an army of 200,000 to go back, and heard that Ximen Zhensen was dead on the way, so he ordered the veteran Cao Dingbang to lead 50,000 troops to garrison Nanyang. Let Cao Dingguo lead 80,000 troops and go directly to Huainan to eliminate the remnants of the Ximen family and garrison along the Yangtze River.

Xiao Han led his troops back to Mozhou, and he still had more than 20,000 people left, but his army was still 50,000 people, and after he went back, he replenished it himself.

In the end, there were less than 50,000 people left, of which 30,000 were Zhang Zhikui, Wan Lin, and Huang Ying's Flying Tiger Army.

Hearing the news, Empress Dowager Cao was very shocked, her face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly called Min Yue into the palace and asked why it was so arranged? Isn't this a surrender of one's life?

Min Yue said: "Zhang Zhikui can be reused. Although there is no lack of recklessness in his character, this person can be shown to be loyal. ”

While recruiting troops, Empress Dowager Cao rearranged the garrison of Luoyang Baguan.

Zhao Guangli and Huang Ying commanded 10,000 troops and ran all the way to Tongguan, as long as Tongguan was in hand, Empress Dowager Cao would have the heart to consider others.

Then began to appoint the list of generals of the Xuanjia Army to garrison Luoyang, and at this time, Empress Dowager Cao wanted to use Cao Bao as the governor.

This nomination needs to be listened to by everyone.

But the first to raise objections was not Tang Zhen or Min Yue, it turned out to be Cao Sheng, the uncle of Empress Dowager Cao.

Cao Sheng: "Although Cao Bao is my own nephew, I can't shield him, what is his ability, in this Luoyang battle, I can see it clearly, if it wasn't for the sixty-five-year-old Zhang Yunlong to lead him, he would have been in chaos a long time ago." With his ability, being a Zhonglang general can barely be used, and the 130,000 Xuanjia troops of the Gyeonggi garrison are handed over to him, which is really useful, and he can't afford it, and there are many hidden dangers. ”

After Cao Sheng finished speaking, Da Sima nodded.

Min Yue smiled and said: "Young man, you can temper it, but letting him be the deputy governor of Gyeonggi is already considered a tempering, and as for the title of the governor of the capital, I think it is appropriate for His Majesty the Emperor to serve in person." In addition, the power of this deputy capital must be divided, he is only responsible for the transfer of armaments, and cannot hand over the tiger talisman to him, and the tiger talisman must be in the hands of the Grand Duke, that is, in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Cao Shengdao: "That's what I mean. ”

Now it's okay, Meng Danqing and Ximen Zhensen are dead, and only the big Sima Tang Zhen is left, and he doesn't bother to listen to the Queen Mother's own family discuss problems. In the end, what decision they made, Da Sima did not express an opinion. As long as the Tang family is in control of the west and has great power, I will rest assured, and I will not be too lazy to care.

Under the service of two elders, Empress Dowager Cao failed to promote Cao Bao to the governor of the Gyeonggi garrison, and was also removed from military power, and now became the head of logistics. In other words, his power was limited to that of a governor. It's just that he has the title of deputy commander, which is really a bit of an overhead.

Cao Bao didn't go to his cousin to complain, he knew what he was capable of, and let him be the governor of Gyeonggi, he himself felt weak.

In the past, the 120,000 Xuanjia Army was managed separately, and all the tiger talismans were in the hands of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother felt that it was not appropriate for her to pinch the tiger talisman, and she was not at ease to hand it over to the emperor, so she wanted to give the tiger talisman to someone she could trust. Cousin Cao Bao performed very well this time and wanted to hand over the heavy responsibility to him, but this guy was not capable, and the elders and ministers couldn't trust him, so he gave up again.

Now, the Xuanjia Army has added a Tongguan, and Empress Dowager Cao has thirteen chapters of tiger talismans in her hand, and she looks at the tiger talisman in a daze.

Lu Shi walked over with a smile and said, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you, now it's time to be happy to clear the door valve." ”

Empress Dowager Cao looked at Lu, her belly was unexpectedly big, and Empress Dowager Cao was shocked.

The Lu family has been living in the palace, and there is only one man in the palace, the emperor, how did her belly get bigger?

"When?" Empress Dowager Cao pointed to Lu's stomach.

Lu scolded shyly: "That scoundrel thing in our family, when he followed General Xiao Han to the south, he went back to Luoyang by the way, and I met with him, and this was planted." ”

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Cao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is a good thing." ”

That's really a good thing.

For the use of Lu's husband Cen Shen, it has always been a problem for the Queen Mother, because the Queen Mother does not know where Cen Shen's family is.

When a person does not have a handle in his own hands, Empress Dowager Cao will not reuse this rao.

Lu Shi seemed to see the queen mother's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Our family is not stingy, but he has a plan to hide his parents in Datong, but this time he came back, since he has avenged Meng Du and the Meng family has fallen, he has nothing to worry about, and wants to take his parents to Luoyang." ”

"Yo, Cen Shen turned out to be a filial son." The Queen Mother was pleased.
