I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 70 – The True Lord of the State
"I lost. How could I lose? How could I lose!"

In the palace, Deng Sui looked at Deng Hong who had sneaked back, his eyes still full of dullness.

As Deng Sui began to completely control the court, the members of the Deng family naturally followed the tide and walked on the road that all relatives in the world would take.

The original Huben Zhonglang General Deng Li was promoted to the position of servant, and accompanied Emperor Liu Long.

As for Deng Hong, Deng Sui's other brother, he took over Deng Li's position and continued to serve as Huben Zhonglang, who was stationed in the palace to protect Deng Sui's safety.

Of course, this time Deng Sui gave an order, and the two armies of the North and the South, the Tiger Ben Yulin Shuangwei, and the defenders of the important town of Beijing all marched to Yongliang in the northwest.

Naturally, Deng Hong also followed it.

Deng Sui originally wanted to take advantage of this matter, and use those ridiculous Qiang Hus to enable his brothers to reap military exploits and make their positions more stable!
But Deng Sui never dreamed that such a situation would happen. The good situation turned out to be a dismal end.

Although it hasn't ended yet, the battle report has already expressed it very clearly.

Both armies failed.

A total of 5 people from the Left and Right Habayashi Army led by Deng Zhi himself, the troops from the Fifth School of the Northern Army, and the troops from various counties were stationed in Hanyang County as the main force, waiting for follow-up reinforcements.

As a result, before the reinforcements arrived, the Zhongqiang tribe among the Qianghu tribe had already taken the lead in launching the attack.

The two sides fought directly in Ji County, and it ended in Deng Zhi's failure, and finally beheaded more than 1000 people.
No, it should be said that more than 1000 people were killed.
After that, Deng Zhi didn't dare to continue to act rashly because of his defeat in the first battle, so he could only urge the reinforcements from the rear to come over and join him as soon as possible.

As a result, just like himself, the soldiers and horses gathered from various counties and counties in the rear had not had time to join up.

Then I encountered another Qianghu tribe, most of which is the Dianqiang tribe, and this is the tens of thousands of Qianghu coalition forces led by the Dianqiang!

They are also coalition forces, and the strength of this Qianghu is obviously far superior to those soldiers and horses drawn by the Han army from various prefectures and counties.

The Great Han was defeated again in the first battle of Pingxiang, with 8000 casualties.
And the subordinates of Ren Shang and Sima Jun were originally a group of troops gathered from various prefectures and counties.

To put it bluntly, although it is not a rabble, it is definitely not an elite.

There is no tacit understanding between them at all. It may be okay if they win successively, and they can become an elite army in the future.

As a result, Deng Sui and Deng Shi controlled it in their own hands.

But now that they have suffered such a big defeat in the first battle, their morale has completely collapsed.

Now the army did not dare to make any more moves, and Deng Zhi led his troops to continue to station in Hanyang County and wait.

On the other side, Ren Shang and others stayed in Pingxiang County to guard, not daring to make the slightest move
The whole battlefield is so frozen!

When Deng Sui learned about these things from Deng Hong's mouth and the battle report, he couldn't help but froze in place.

Although quite clever, Deng Sui never really experienced any war from the beginning to the end!
Deng Sui only knew that his elder brother Deng Zhi was a well-known virtuous man, not only in his own family, but also highly praised him.

Even his own husband, the first emperor Liu Zhao, said it more than once.

Deng Zhi has the ability to correct and assist the country!
As for the courtiers in the court, although many people don't like the status of foreign relatives, they also admire her elder brother Deng Zhi very much, and even have a much better attitude than themselves.
Deng Suifei not only felt that his elder brother was talented, but also knew that Ren Shang and Sima Jun were both capable generals.
Deng Sui doesn't know the art of war, but she knows that with these generals who are capable, even if they are not invincible, they shouldn't be so!
That's just a group. Just a group of Qianghu who are nothing.
Just a bunch of Qianghu.
A group of Qianghu people whose names she has never heard of
Deng Sui didn't understand how things had come to this point, and even at this moment, she didn't even know what she should do next!
Deng Sui has many abilities. She has the courage that ordinary men don't have. She can even control the court not too easily.

But she just doesn't know how to fight now!
The flustered Deng Sui fell into a crisis, she called several of her confidants to her side, hoping they could give her some advice.

but no
Cai Lun, who was able to improve the handling and invent a variety of powerful weapons, looked at the battle report with straight eyes and a look of ignorance.

The great eunuch Zheng Zhong, who was able to coax the Dou family easily, helped the late emperor to pacify his relatives, and almost killed the Dou family, also looked at a loss at this time.

Entering Dongguan as a woman, holding a historian's pen in her hand, Ban Zhao, a famous woman who has moved the world, is now dodging with eyes full of eyes, unable to utter a word
These people know a lot of things, and they are the real leaders in this world, but... they also don't understand military strategy!
At this moment, Deng Sui seemed to be really disappointed.

She couldn't help but wonder if the heavens really looked down on her ruling the court as a woman.

Is it true that I really don't want their big guys to continue.

She felt a little tired again!

But it's not that God didn't give Deng Sui a chance at all, just when Deng Sui was in great distress because of the war.

The arrival of a memorial made Deng Sui's expression change again.

"Prefect of Yanmen in Bingzhou, General Du Liao, Pang Fen, leader of the Central Committee"

In order to prevent the Huns from taking the opportunity to cause chaos, Deng Sui transferred many famous generals of the Han Dynasty to northern Xinjiang just in case.

And the former Yin Pangfen of Henan was the first among them. Not only did he directly sit in the important town of Yanmen, but he also served as the general of Du Liao and the leader of the Central Committee.

It can be said that it is absolutely one of the few existences in the northern border today.

Although Pang Fen's memorial has not yet been opened, Deng Sui couldn't help but relax a little in his heart!

"Quickly bring up General Pang's memorial, quick!"

At this time, Deng Sui, who was already in a panic, almost snatched the memorial into his hands, and then just opened it and took a look.

then
"Is this Pang Fen's memorial?"

"This..." The eunuch of the Little Yellow Clan was full of astonishment at this time, not knowing why there was such a problem, "The Empress Dowager Mingjian, this is indeed the memorial sent by General Pang Fen.

It was sent urgently from Yanmen County."

"Hurry up." Deng Sui frowned even tighter after hearing this, "Hurry up and invite the person who sent the memorial to come in!"

"promise"

"Also... please come in, the General's residence!"
