The good news from Wuman and Huaijiang was passed down to Beijing one after another.

Xiao Hou took the initiative and chased the Beimo escorts from Huaijiang all the way, forcing them to Bei'an, and then drove them out from Bei'an.

This time, Beimo planned to plot against Xianbei.

This was something that Xiao Hou had not expected.

Beimo did not attack at all.

Beimo only sent a few thousand people to test the surrounding area, but was immediately evacuated by Xiao Hou.

Beimo's attitude is very strange.

Even the emperor could not understand. After the Marquis of Jiangning returned to Beijing, he summoned the cabinet ministers to discuss the matter.

But no one can tell why.

This is a great opportunity for both the Beimo and the Xianbei. Why does the Beimo want to fool the Xianbei?

Although this time, this was a successive victory, it was just the beginning of the battle. If it really happened, the Xianbei and Beimo would always have the upper hand.

If the fight really starts, Beimo and Xianbei are forced to retreat continuously, and a large number of soldiers and generals are damaged. It is not surprising that Beimo has this attitude.

Because of this question, even if the emperor achieved a temporary victory, he was only happy for a while, and then he became worried.

The Empress Dowager was in a good mood. After the Marquis of Jiangning returned to Beijing, she even arranged a banquet and invited Marquis of Jiangning and the Emperor to come for a drink.

The Empress Dowager hasn't been so excited for a long time, so the emperor naturally has to accompany her.

The Marquis of Jiangning also packed into the palace to visit the Empress Dowager.

The so-called banquet is actually home-cooked side dishes.

There is really wine, but it is the grape wine brewed by the Queen Mother himself. I have been hiding for more than half a year. Aunt Guo Yu said that the Queen Mother has never been reluctant to take it out to drink it.

I was happy tonight, so I took it out to greet the emperor and the Marquis of Jiangning.

The Empress Dowager wore a dark cloud pattern with brocade clothes with wide sleeves and double laces. The two collars were embroidered with silver thread on the phoenix flower pattern. The embroidery was very exquisite. You could tell at a glance that it was written by Aunt Jinru.

The Marquis of Jiangning arrived the last time and came forward to pay homage to the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother looked at him with a smile, "Ziyan, I heard that your boy is back."

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, it was Jinning who saved him." said Jiang Ning Hou.

The queen mother smiled, "Yes."

The Empress Dowager seemed very happy with Jin Ning's move and praised him a few words. After Jiang Ning Hou met the emperor, he asked him to sit down.

"My mother is in a good mood!" The emperor looked at the wine in a large glass of grapes next to him, and Aunt Guo Yu was pouring out one cup of glass.

"I will be happy after winning the battle!" The Empress Dowager raised her glass when Aunt Guo Yu finished the wine, "Come on, have a drink with me and toast these two victories."

The emperor raised his wine glass and said, "To the victory!"

The same is true for Jiangning Hou.

The queen mother took a sip, put down the cup and looked at the emperor, "Looking at the emperor's appearance, I seem to be unhappy if I win the battle?"

The emperor rubbed his hands on his knees, looking a little nervous: "I'm not unhappy, but I just can't figure out why Beimo only sent a few thousand people in this battle? And, if you run away after a fight, is there any trick?"

Jiangning Hou also said: "It's really strange. In fact, I can't understand. Even if we take back the Wuman, the Xianbei still has a chance of winning. Why can't the Xianbei stop moving? Also, Jinning and Jingting both said that the Xianbei would propose peace talks. Although I didn't say anything, I think that the Xianbei was afraid that they would not propose peace talks easily this time, and their wolves ambitions could no longer be controlled."

The Empress Dowager smiled thoughtfully as she listened to the two of them.

Marquis Jiang Ning looked at the Empress Dowager, "I wonder if the Empress Dowager has any good views on you?"

The Queen Mother shook the wine in the wine glass and smiled: "The Xianbei will definitely have peace talks, there is no doubt about it."

"Why?" the emperor couldn't help asking.

"Because Jingting and Jinning both said this." The Empress Dowager was rarely naughty, but from this we can see that she was in a really good mood.

"Mother!" the emperor was slightly angry, "Can you not solve your doubts quickly for me? My son is anxious and angry these days. These days, there are a few more white hairs."

The Empress Dowager stopped tormenting him, put down the wine glass and looked at the two of them, and said, "The Xianbei peace talks happened to be because of Beimo's attitude. The Xianbei and Beimo joined forces were promoted by General Hong Lie and Emperor Chu of Beimo, but the Qin family opposed this matter from beginning to end."

"Qin family?" The emperor was puzzled for a moment.

Jiang Ninghou explained: "Emperor, Qin Huan is the Grand Marshal of the Beimo. Most of the powerful military generals in the court were trained by the Qin family. Moreover, the descendants of the Qin family are all brave and good at fighting generals in the Beimo..."

The emperor glanced at him lightly, "How could I not know about the Qin family in Beimo? What I said is that Qin Huan opposed joining forces with the Xianbei? Why? Didn't there be any news that this matter was caused by the Qin family?"

The Empress Dowager said: "The news is fake, and it may even be that Emperor Chu deliberately released the news, and used pressure to force Qin Huan to agree."

"Why did Qin Huan disagree?" The emperor didn't understand again.

"Why did Qin Huan agree? If I were Qin Huan, I wouldn't agree. How big is the appetite of Xianbei? I have to swallow the entire Great Zhou? Xianbei does not have this ability, so I want to join forces with Beimo. But Beimo can swallow the entire Great Zhou. Qin Huan's ambition is too great, even bigger than the Emperor of Chu in Beimo. Moreover, he disdains to form an alliance with Xianbei. Xianbei people are famous for being untrustworthy and rebellious villains. How could Qin Huan be accomplice to the villains in the world? What's different from Emperor Chu is that Emperor Chu focuses on small profits and wants to embezzle my Great Zhou with Xianbei. How many cities should be divided into several cities. Qin Huan wants to swallow our entire Great Zhou."

"This Qin Huan is simply a wolfish ambition!" Emperor Hui was furious.

The empress dowager reached out and pressed her, "What is the emperor excited about? The game between countries is normal. Don't our Great Zhou want to expand our territory? We just weighed the pros and cons, and felt that there was no need to sacrifice the current great prosperity."

Emperor Hui held back, "Although Qin Huan has ambitions, the Xianbei teamed up now, and wouldn't it be better to destroy the Xianbei in the future?"

The Empress Dowager said: "You underestimate Qin Huan again. What Qin Huan hated the most in his life is a shameless villain. If he chooses to join forces with the Xianbei, he will definitely not betray his faith in the future."

Emperor Hui looked at the Empress Dowager and said silently for a while, "Mother, why do you know Qin Huan so well?"

The Queen Mother flirted her forehead and showed a shocking laugh, "Your mother, there were several devoted suitors back then."

"Ah!" Emperor Hui was shocked and looked at Jiangning Hou, "My mother, do you mean? Did you know Qin Huan before?"

"Who was young and had no money and lost debts?" the empress dowager sighed, looking amiable.

A voice came from Xu Yuan, like a cold wind, swept into the inner hall, with a quiet, cold and volcanic anger, "Is that right? I want to hear how wonderful your wind and debt are."
