Empress Dowager Yu has been living in seclusion in a separate palace for these years, with no communication with the outside world.

Although he has been released now, he is still in confinement. In a short period of time, it is difficult to say whether he has his own eyes and ears.

Therefore, it is difficult to say whether the Queen Mother has received any news from the outside.

Anyway, facing Cao Shuang who was out of breath and looking like the sky was about to fall, Queen Mother Yu didn't even look at him. She just admired her newly dyed koudan and said casually:

"Why is it so urgent? General?"

Reconciliation is reconciliation, but it is reconciliation between the family and the general.

What does it have to do with a little girl like the Queen Mother?

The little queen mother agreed to issue an edict to change the queen's name, not only to protect herself, but also to vent the ill will of the late emperor.

But the Queen Mother has not forgotten being imprisoned by General Cao for so many years.

Whatever the late emperor did, the Queen Mother remembered clearly.

It makes no sense that the Queen Mother would not remember what General Cao did.

General Cao naturally knew the Queen Mother's attitude towards him.

This woman is still too small-minded.

Even the Queen Mother cannot avoid this.

So on weekdays, he basically wouldn't come around to ask for trouble.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Luoyang that the Western Bandits attacked Luoyang, and the Luoyang guard Sima Zhao failed to fight effectively and has abandoned the city and fled."

At this point, Cao Shuang emphasized his tone, "Luoyang has been lost, Queen Mother!"

Upon hearing this, Queen Mother Yu suddenly froze.

His eyes finally moved away from his fingertips and fell on Cao Shuang.

Then, a deafening scream sounded: "What did you say!"

After all these years, who else dares to speak so loudly in front of General Cao?

General Cao was not on guard and felt his ears buzzing.

He forcibly resisted the urge to rub his ears, and had no choice but to explain to the Queen Mother again:

"Queen Mother, Sima Zhao failed to defend the city and was attacked by Western thieves who captured Luoyang."

The Queen Mother continued to ask like a scream:

"Where is Sima Yi? Doesn't he have hundreds of thousands of troops guarding Luoyang? Even if he goes to Yecheng, can he just leave Luoyang alone?"

Still hundreds of thousands?

How many years has it been since that happened?

Cao Shuang slandered Sima Yi in his heart, and a bitter smile appeared on his face:

"Queen Mother, it's not like you don't know that the Grand Tutor and I are both auxiliary ministers. We rely on ourselves as veterans of the four dynasties. How can I, a great general, be considered in your eyes?"

"Therefore, the affairs of Luoyang and Hebei are beyond the knowledge of me."

Sima Yi and Cao Shuang were at odds, how could the Queen Mother not know about it?

If not, she might still be under house arrest at this moment.

But……

"Isn't it said that Grand Tutor Rong Zhao was resolute and could make changes in times of crisis, rather than the great Wei Dynasty?"

Queen Mother Yu still couldn’t believe it:

"There is the Great Wei Ancestral Temple in Luoyang City. How could Taifu Sima abandon it so easily?"

The so-called "Rong Zhao Guo Guo Yi" and "making changes in times of crisis" were said by Cao Zhi and Cao Rui, and Queen Mother Yu had certainly heard of them.

In addition, over the years, Cao Shuang had gone against the grain and everyone inside and outside the court said that Taifu Sima was the one who could help the Wei Dynasty fall into danger.

Cao Shuang was not convinced by this statement:

"Queen Mother, Sima Yi originally had hundreds of thousands of troops in Guanzhong, and with the troops gathered in Luoyang and Hebei, it is said that he has more than 200,000 elite troops, which is a lot more."

"Luoyang was the capital of the Wei Dynasty. Instead of guarding it personally, he crossed the state border without an edict and stationed himself in Yecheng."

"In my opinion, it is impossible for him to be a traitor who secretly communicated with the West, so he would just sit back and watch the fall of Luoyang. How could he be so determined and brave enough to make changes in the face of danger?"

"He is obviously the sinner of the Wei Dynasty!"

The Queen Mother would definitely not believe that the majestic Master Sima would have secret connections with the Western thieves.

But Luoyang said it would be gone, but it was a fact.

Queen Mother Yu was immediately excited:

"Luoyang has fallen into the hands of the Western thieves. Xuchang is only more than three hundred miles away from Luoyang. The road is smooth. What if the thieves come to Xuchang and arrive overnight? Then, then, what should we do?"

When Cao Shuang heard that the Queen Mother took the initiative to bring up this topic, he couldn't help but secretly praise it, and quickly said:

"I'm here just for this matter, Queen Mother, so I have something to say. The matter is urgent!"

The Queen Mother quickly sat up straight and asked:

"Do you have a way to deal with it?"

Isn't this what Cao Shuang was waiting for?

"Your Majesty, the bandit army is strong and there is no danger to defend Xuchang. Even if we urgently mobilize the Yangzhou army to come here, it will be too late."

"I can die in state affairs, but how can the Queen Mother and Your Majesty be forced by the bandit army?"

"Therefore, I ask the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to patrol eastward in Qiao County to temporarily avoid danger. At the same time, it is also convenient to recruit soldiers from all over the world in order to resist the thieves."

"Another eastward tour?" The Queen Mother asked General Cao what he could do, but she didn't expect that it would be an eastward tour again.

Sima Yi was driven from Guanzhong to Luoyang, the late Emperor was driven from Luoyang to Xuchang, and now he and Your Majesty had to be driven from Xuchang to Qiao County.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother looked disappointed.

Doesn't this great Wei have a real man?

Nothing but running, just running.

The Tutor ran away, the late emperor ran away, and now the general also wants to run away.

I recall that when the late emperor first came to the throne, the Wei Dynasty controlled eighty-nine percent of the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that China is the largest country in the world and is at the center of the world.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Da Wei would be driven away again and again.

If Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen really wanted to know something secretly, they would not be able to live out their anger.

But think about it, the Ancestral Temple in Luoyang is gone. If I had known better, I would have survived long ago.

Maybe, it's also possible that he doesn't dare to live...

Empress Dowager Yu was so preoccupied with random thoughts that she didn't realize how disrespectful her thoughts were as the daughter-in-law of the Cao family.

Anyway, if the Luoyang Imperial Ancestral Temple fell into the hands of the Han Dynasty, the temple's shrine would definitely be destroyed.

No matter how disrespectful they were, Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen had no way of settling accounts with themselves.

On the contrary, the late emperor who really gave up Luoyang and placed his throne in Xuchang escaped this disaster.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother asked General Cao in a low voice:

"General, please tell me honestly. Your Majesty and I are patrolling Qiao County in the east. If the bandits from the West are pursuing us, how should you respond?"

General Cao responded quickly:

"No, Queen Mother, but please don't worry."

With that said, he explained in detail the discussion between himself and his cronies.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother felt slightly relieved.

Then he stared straight at General Cao and continued to ask:

"General, this time, we still have Qiao County to retreat to, but what about next time? Have you decided where to retreat to?"

Cao Shuang did not expect that the Queen Mother would ask such questions.

For a moment, he was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing Cao Shuang's appearance, the Queen Mother suddenly felt exhausted. She sighed and waved her hand:

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask. I'll have someone send it to you after I've written the edict for the Eastern Patrol Qiao County."

She didn't want to see the fat man in front of her for a moment.

Cao Shuang agreed and then withdrew.

Looking at Cao Shuang's back, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, thoughtfully:

I don’t know what the late emperor saw in this person, so that he actually asked him to assist His Majesty?
