Cheng Liu said coldly: "You don't need to make any more plans, you can kill as many as you come, I didn't pay attention to Yingchuan County at all, but I didn't have my hands free to deal with them now, otherwise, hehe......"

He was telling the truth, Zhang Jiao's army would inevitably bypass Yingchuan County, and when the time came, the soldiers and horses of the various states and counties would eventually converge into a line and be firmly stationed on the northwest side.

And in this rear, there is Xuzhou Xiapi in the north of Cheng Liu, at this time Liu Bei has not yet taken the momentum, he has the initiative of the soldiers and horses, and inserts the defense line of Luoyang, even if there are more soldiers and horses arranged at the pass, Cheng Liu has already occupied Jianye one step ahead, and he can attack and retreat and defend, and there is nothing to worry about at all.

The reason why the great eunuch asked these words was that he didn't take Zhang Jiao and the others in his eyes at all, after all, it was a peasant army, and there was a world of difference between it and the army that the imperial court spent millions of snowflakes every year to raise a real military salary.

And in history, the most fundamental factor in Zhang Jiao's defeat is also like this, he can't fight, and the equipment can't be upgraded, waiting for the hard drag on the war, the imperial court has opened the treasury widely, and the money has been used on the blade, and more and more soldiers and horses have been put into the frontal battlefield.

What's more, Zhang Jiao's subordinates don't have a few strategists, and there are only a few generals who can fight, which is really a bit worse than the soldiers and horses of the princes who rose up later.

The big eunuch continued to be silent, and Cheng Liu did not continue to find a topic, until after entering the palace, he did not leave Cheng Liu's side, and followed closely behind.

Seeing Cheng Liu's doubts, the chief eunuch explained: "The queen mother ordered, the situation in the palace is complicated, and Cheng Guanren will inevitably carry risks every time he enters the palace, this time he is not secretly entering the palace, so he needs our family to protect it." ”

Cheng Liu smiled, turned his head, and followed the palace maid in front to the Empress Dowager He's bedroom.

The big eunuch made a big salute after seeing the Empress Dowager He, and then heard the Empress Dowager say: "Okay, you step down first, the mourning family has something to say to him." ”

"The old slave will retire first."

The great eunuch left the Empress Dowager He's bedroom, and half of the remaining palace maids followed, leaving only the other half standing on both sides.

Behind the dormitory is a huge platform, and you can see the flower-filled garden below, and the scenery of the entire Kyoshi in front of you can be seen.

The platform is very large, but it is a bit like an open-air square, and there is a table on the edge of the railing in the front, which should be made of jade, Cheng Liu only feels atmospheric when he looks at it, but he doesn't know why he wants to put such a table in this kind of place.

At this time, a palace maid stepped forward to place some fruit plates, and then built a huge 'light shield' on top of her head, which looked a little like a gazebo.

"Cheng Guanren, please."

Empress Dowager He took a step first, stood on the edge of the platform, and said softly: "When this was first built, the extra exposed stones were all big stones, and the mourning family's dormitory was next to the pile of rubble. ”

"Later, the emperor was favored, and he wanted to bring the mourning family to the dormitory behind the Yangyuan Palace, but the mourning family had long been accustomed to living here, warm in winter and cool in summer, and he could also watch the starlight and admire the moon at night, so he asked the emperor to deal with the mess and continue to live here."

"One day, on a whim, if you just stand, it would be too bad for the scenery, so you ordered someone to rebuild a platform, which is what you see today. As time went on, the table got bigger and bigger, but the scenery from it became smaller and smaller. ”

Cheng Liu didn't understand at first, until Empress Dowager He added something again.

"The Han room is like this platform, there was originally a pile of rocks underneath, and the emperor spent a long time cleaning up the stones, but in the end, when the platform was put up, there would still be people who were not satisfied, so they could only continue to build, and in the end the platform was getting bigger and bigger, but there were fewer and fewer things to see."

If this platform is a Han family, then it is none other than a relative of the eunuch who is covering the scenery in front of him.

Empress Dowager He can say so directly, obviously she did not treat Cheng Liu as an outsider.

"The queen mother's meaning, Cheng Liu understood."

Empress Dowager He smiled, her face was much more relieved than last time.

"I heard that General He Jin sent the Yulin Army to kill you?"

Cheng Liu was a little embarrassed for a while, but still nodded.

"Maybe it's a dismount, but since Cheng has survived, it doesn't matter if General He has murderous intentions or not."

Empress Dowager He still had that expression, and ordered someone to make a pot of flower tea, and then said: "The world of the Han family can no longer be seen clearly, and now whoever is in power is not as good as the mourning family in power, eunuchs and relatives are always outsiders, and the door of our Han family, except for our own family, is unreliable." ”

Cheng Liu also agrees with this point, for example, a certain hero, by supporting the Han family to support the army and self-respect, isn't it also for his own selfishness?

At this time, these should not be pursued, Cheng Liu did not talk nonsense, and said straightforwardly: "The Queen Mother came to Cheng this time, presumably because of last night's incident, I am afraid that I will detain the crime on General He's head and make it difficult for you to do it, so I plan to relieve myself, and it can be regarded as saying good things for him in front of me, right?" ”

Empress Dowager He nodded: "Yes, he is in power, and he can be regarded as the power of his own family, can Cheng Guanren understand this truth?" ”

Cheng Liu smiled.

"That's true, but what if he wants to kill me in the future?"

Empress Dowager He squinted her eyes, just at this time the flower tea was presented, full of fragrance, different from the rich and high-quality tea, the flower tea was a little more fragrant.

"The mourning family will tell him, if it really can't be done, just send this flower tea to your house, and I will let him come to the door in person."

"No need, no need, since the Queen Mother has said so, Cheng is not a person who does not know how to lift. In short, the less trouble there is in the future, the more focused I can be, and it will be harmless for the Queen Mother. ”

Empress Dowager He didn't answer directly, but just lightly led the topic to the other side.

"Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, do you know?"

Tao Qian is also famous in his acquaintance, he doesn't know him at this time, but Cheng Liu still knows this person after a thousand years.

"I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it."

Empress Dowager He continued: "Then again, you have been ordered by him to settle your soldiers and horses in Xiapi, right? From the beginning of your soldiers and horses stationed in Jianye, Xiapi has become the focus of the palace's attention, if the front and back of the Beijing division are your soldiers and horses, how can the eunuch relatives above the temple sleep peacefully? ”

Cheng Liu replied lightly: "This is true, but has the Queen Mother ever thought that the pass is guarded by your younger brother, and my garrison is under Jianye Gate, and behind you is Xiapi, and there are also my soldiers and horses, this country is guarded by people you trust, what else is there to worry about?" ”
