But no matter what the Queen Mother said, the frightened princes' envoys did not want to stay in the capital for a moment, and offered to return to the princes' army.

The Queen Mother was extremely depressed, her face was gloomy, and her chest was rising and falling violently.

Liang Shanbo's people infiltrated the capital to kill the envoys of the princes came too suddenly, if it was really Liang Shanbo who sent people to do it, could it be that he Zhao Gou was really so powerful, Liang Shanbo did not hesitate to go against the imperial court, but also to curry favor with Zhao Gou?

Their purpose in doing this is obviously to drive a wedge between the princes and the imperial court, and it is he Zhao Gou who will benefit in the end, and it is not believed that there is no shadow of Zhao Gou behind this matter to kill her.

If he Zhao Gou understands how to use Liangshan to cause trouble to the west, it seems that he is really difficult to deal with, at least his intelligence network and ability to seize opportunities are very terrifying.

Since choosing to openly contradict Zhao Gou, the Queen Mother can be said to be frightened step by step, worrying every day, such days not only did not make her retreat, but made her more determined to get rid of Zhao Gou.

However, the bad news still came unexpectedly. News came from the south that Duan Yin had broken with the imperial court.

Duan Yin is an out-and-out careerist, and although he made a lot of contributions to King Qin in the north this time, it also made him see the emptiness of the imperial court and the chaos in management.

When this careerist returned to the army, he had the intention of separating one side, but he never found a good excuse, but it happened that the envoy was killed, which happened to be used by him as a pretext for betraying the court.

The moment the Queen Mother heard the news, she was stunned.

Needless to say, as Duan Yin raised the banner of rebellion, the other princes will also stand on their own, and the power of the Queen Mother will be torn apart, and in the end she will be trapped in a corner and slaughtered by others.

An old eunuch found out about the Queen Mother's depression, and said: "The Queen Mother, it's just that the princes have rebelled, and now the world is not shaking at all, and it is only a matter of time before the rebellion is quelled, so why should the Queen Mother be depressed?" ”

The Queen Mother just sighed: "Now that the emperor has been captured, the new monarch has just been established, and the princes have rebelled, unless I am a hard-hearted person, how can I be indifferent to this?" ”

The eunuch said: "The queen mother, now you should send someone over to suppress it as soon as possible, I'm afraid that if time drags on, those princes who were originally watching will take advantage of this to spy on the reality of the court, and those who don't oppose it will also be reversed." ”

"Now let the princes fight the princes, and those who are ordered to go will definitely take the opportunity to blackmail the court, for fear that it will hollow out the court." The Queen Mother pointed out the key points for the first time.

Although there was only one Duan Yin who openly rebelled, if other princes were to send troops to suppress it, the ordered princes would inevitably take the opportunity to open their mouths to the court lions.

Once the money of the imperial court is gone, it is also the result of its existence in name only.

Therefore, Duan Yin's rebellion directly plunged the imperial court into an unprecedented embarrassment for the two.

The old eunuch paused and said, "Queen Mother, isn't Zhao Gou very good at leading troops?" Now it is Duan Yin's rebellion, and as a member of the royal family, he should not sit idly by. ”

Thinking of Zhao Gou, the Queen Mother was angry, and she said angrily: "Don't mention this villain, I see that the current situation is due to him!" ”

The old eunuch hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, even if you know that it is Zhao Gou who is behind it, now is a good opportunity to weaken him Zhao Gou." Duan Yin didn't seem to be in a hurry, but a decision after careful consideration, so he must have been well prepared. Zhao Gou led the troops, and the people who formed a relationship with him, including Tan Junxian and Guan Shanyuan, would secretly or openly help Duan Yin, even if Zhao Gou's strength was monstrous, the outcome was unknown. ”

After listening to this, the Queen Mother bowed her head slightly.

"Spread the decree and let Zhao Gou enter Beijing!"

The envoys of the capital hurried up, and within two days they arrived at King Kang's Mansion in Yingtianfu.

Zhao Gousheng met with the envoys. The envoy read the decree of the Queen Mother to the public, and Zhao Gou thanked him.

"Lord Kang, now is the autumn of the country's survival, don't let down the Queen Mother's appreciation, the Queen Mother let you go south immediately, there must be no mistake." To make Zhao Gou is a commanding force.

Sending the envoy away, Queen Meng came over, she clapped her hands and said: "Sure enough, it's a clever calculation, you even thought there would be such a day a few months ago, and now the matter is imminent, do you think it's a blessing or a curse, how to deal with it?" ”

Zhao Gou said: "This king is a small skill of carving insects. If you want to talk about this way of self-treatment, you must naturally go, and you just take the opportunity to harvest all the thorns in the south. ”

Empress Meng's face was not worry-free and said: "The terrain in the south is humble and wet, if you set off at this time, it will be summer when you arrive there, I am afraid that you will not adapt to the water and soil, and even attract a large army of diseases, which is not so simple." ”

Zhao Gou smiled and said: "As soon as the king's army arrives, the southern army will inevitably be invincible, and this is advantageous for a quick battle, and Lao Tzu is not good at seeing the sky, so he will retreat." ’

When Empress Meng saw him mention Quick Battle, she eased her cheeks.

At that time, Zhao Gou was to point up the armies, the general Han Shizhong would be the left army, the general Liang Yin would be the right army, and the 3,000 people of the escort team would accompany Zhao Gou and others.

Zong Ze sent 5,000 soldiers to follow, and 3,000 men and horses accompanied Kaiyuan, and the army marched to Nanyang, and Cui Fuzhi of Hanzhong also sent 10,000 troops to help.

It was the end of March when I set off, and when I arrived at the city of Xiangyang, it was already mid-April.

At that time, the summer heat was already spreading.

Zhao Gou took out the tiger talisman and said to the guards on Xiangyang City: "Let Tan Junxian come out and talk to me, this king will lead troops to eliminate the rebellious Duan Yin, pass through Xiangyang, and under the order of the Queen Mother, Xiangyang must command Tan Junxian to send 5,000 troops to help the official army." ”

Tan Junxian received King Kang Zhao Gou in the army, and only promised to take away 3,000 old and young sick and disabled people.

When Han Shizhong heard this, he was furious and said, "Tan Junxian, you dare to defy the imperial court? The Queen Mother's will is that there must be no less than 5,000 people to help the army! What do you mean by bringing three thousand old and sick people? ”

Zhao Gou stopped Han Shizhong with a smile and said: "General Han, don't be rude, General Tan Junxian is a veteran, since he does this, there must be a reason for him." If this king unfortunately loses to Duan Yin, he also has troops to meet me. ”

Cui Fuzhi sneered: "Tan Junxian already dared to despise the imperial court at this time, but I am afraid that when the prince loses to Duan Yin, Tan Junxian will copy our back road, or even cut off the way back." ”

Tan Junxian snorted coldly and said: "The imperial court is not paying money in time, and Xiangyang City does not have too many soldiers!" Please also ask the prince to give me grace time, and when I recruit soldiers, I will definitely supply the full number of soldiers to the prince. ”

Zhao Gouxin said that you are making an excuse for yourself to go south to watch the battle in the future, so you can calculate, and when the time comes, you will just reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Duan Yin is openly opposed, and it can be regarded as above board, this talent of Tan Junxian and others is the most terrifying, and the court will be played bad by these people sooner or later.

"Since General Tan said so, it is inconvenient for me to press you in the name of the imperial court, give you time to prepare, and don't stab me in the back when the time comes."

After Zhao Gou finished speaking, there was a mocking expression.

Tan Junxian sneered at each other: "Lord Wang, the south is a humble and wet land, your soldiers are all northerners, and now it is the summer weather in the blink of an eye, and Duan Yin is a veteran for many years, so the prince should be leisurely." ”
