The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 147 I’m scared when I put the knife on his neck
Old Man Li smiled and said, "There is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, every time I see Gongsun, he becomes more and more confident. I think he should have a way to deal with it."

He is worthy of being a veteran general who was galloping on the battlefield back then.

"Second brother, from now on, the rapidly distilled wine must follow my requirements to become a high-altitude wine that can reduce inflammation."

"Okay." Brother Li once fought in a war, which was very cruel and resulted in many casualties.

At the same time, in the office of General Liu Da of Lanshan County, the middle-level officials from Zhenxiguan and the previous general were sitting.

Liu Zicheng put away his past suave ways and became serious.

He looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The eldest prince of Qi State, Teng Ge, led 13 elite soldiers to march eastward. What do you think?"

Everyone else looked at General Huo and Gongsun Lian.

General Liu frowned slightly, "Major General Huo and Mr. Gongsun are already in the public eye, so you go ahead and say it."

In fact, General Huo already knew about these, and had already discussed the countermeasures with Gongsun Lian.

However, they can't tell.

Once Liu Zicheng expresses his true thoughts, he will object or make changes, which will be even more troublesome.

"The general has just received the news and has no countermeasures. The general arranged it." Major General Huo said in a deep voice. At this time, he did not embarrass Liu Zicheng.

The war is imminent and there is no room for trifling.

Liu Zicheng didn't believe General Huo's words. With the Huo family's connections in Zhenxiguan, he might have known about Operation Qiguo before he did.

If I don’t talk about it now, I’m worried that he’ll miss the point!

But this was a war, and he was not stupid.

It would be very unwise to hold General Huo back at this time.

The victory was due to him.

If the battle is lost, he, the general, will bear the main responsibility.

Since General Huo said so, Liu Zicheng would not be polite.

Good steel is used on the blade.

"Huo Yingjie, you bring seven days of rations, and those five thousand recruits will go straight into the Qi Kingdom, act randomly, and feed the enemy."

Huo Yingjie was stunned, but he didn't expect Liu Zicheng to arrange it directly like this.

This trick is extremely poisonous!

That's what he meant.

At this time, General Zhao, who had a good relationship with General Huo, stood up and said, "General, I am willing to lead troops to surprise the Qi tribe."

He couldn't let the teacher's only son be in danger.

Once surrounded by the Qi army, it is very dangerous and there may be no return.

When Liu Zicheng heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "General Zhao's north gate is also very important. You'd better guard the north gate with all your strength."

"General..." General Zhao wanted to say, but was stopped by Liu Zicheng.

Liu Zicheng asked in a deep voice: "Is General Huo afraid or afraid?"

"Yingjie takes orders, General." Huo Yingjie stood up and answered with clasped fists, "Thank you, General Zhao, for your concern. Huo is confident to complete the mission this time."

"That's great!" Liu Zicheng nodded, "If you need anything, just report it directly. I will arrange it."

"Yes, General." Huo Yingjie agreed.

"Others will stay in place to guard the city and be on standby. If there is any situation, report it immediately. The smoke is the last word."

As long as we can hold Zhenxi Pass, we will win.

If Huo Yingjie could kill the enemy on the grassland, it would be a great achievement.

In this way, not only can it be shown to the emperor above, but it can also weaken Huo Yingjie's power.

Everyone can see that General Liu did it on purpose.

The key point is that General Huo jumped in stupidly.

We discussed a lot of things, had a quick meal at noon, and then dispersed in the afternoon.

General Zhao, who was over forty years old, looked concerned, "Major General, this is a dangerous situation, so please take care."

"The general is not here. If this happens...how can I explain to the general?"

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "I have expected this day for a long time. In fact, my father also knew it." "Our Huo family has been loyal for generations. We would rather die in battle wrapped in horse leather than live in an ignoble existence."

"This time we encountered another invasion from the Qi Kingdom, and it was time for me, the Huo family's son, to step forward. But I still have to thank Brother Zhao."

When General Zhao heard this, he felt mixed emotions and became more and more impressed, "I'm at the north gate. Whenever necessary, I will support you from the flank."

Huo Yingjie nodded, "Brother Zhao, take care and guard the city gate."

Others also came over to greet Huo Yingjie. Huo Yingjie's journey was filled with countless difficulties and obstacles.

I hope I can come back alive!

Gongsun Lian remained silent. He thought of Li Xiaoyue's evaluation of Liu Zicheng.

Sure enough, they guessed it!

Liu Zicheng has no reason to treason and will not treason, but he will use legitimate reasons to weaken General Huo's military strength and the Huo family's influence.

Although they were a little angry, it was within their expectations.

It was enough for them that Liu Zicheng was not treasonous.

However, everything is not certain. If something happens and you don't think about it in advance, it will be doomed.

"Major General, have you made arrangements for your concubines?"

Major General Huo smiled and said, "Two of them are pregnant. The soldiers will take them to Lihua Village later."

Gongsun Lian was stunned, "Aren't you going to send it to the capital?"

General Huo shook his head, "No, my father sent a letter saying that the eldest princess is pregnant."

"Whose?" Gongsun Lian was surprised. He had heard before that the relationship between the general and the eldest princess was not good.

General Huo couldn't laugh or cry, "Of course it belongs to my father. I hope for the sake of the child, the old emperor will not be so wary of my father."

"But the eldest princess is overbearing and can't tolerate me. How can she tolerate my child? Unless I die!"

"My father wrote a letter asking me not to let these concubines go to the capital and to make proper arrangements."

Gongsun Lian blinked, "It's hard for our general. At this age, we still have to pay with our flesh."

"Hey, I can't really blame my father. Who makes the emperor too suspicious? Everyone in the court who has some power and talent is married to the old emperor."

Gongsun Lian's eyes showed sympathy, "Thank you for your hard work, General."

"But this time I thought Liu Zicheng would sue for peace, but I didn't expect that he would agree to send troops."

General Huo sneered, "Because he is a general now, and my father is not. He must have obtained the information, and Qi State has a big plan this time."

"If you want to ask for peace, the Qi Kingdom will never retreat without a million taels of silver and millions of supplies."

"Besides, if we sue for peace this year and spend money, the Qi Kingdom will come again next year. Will we still sue for peace then?"

Gongsun Lian smiled, "That's right. In the past, Liu Zicheng was equivalent to standing and talking without back pain."

"Now it's his turn. With the knife on his neck, he no longer wants peace. Before, he opposed purely for the sake of opposition."

General Huo smiled and said, "Maybe the old emperor needs such a person to balance the court."

"That's right." Gongsun Lian nodded, "Major General, let's go back quickly. We built the plank road openly and visited the warehouse secretly. I guess the spies have sent Liu Zicheng's deployment out."

General Huo nodded, "Yes, the stage is set up, and then it's up to us."

The warehouse in Lihua Village is already empty.

Gongsun Lian sent people to deliver all the food belonging to Li Xiaoyue.

General Huo went directly back to Dongshan Military Camp to make preparations, and Gongsun Lian came to Li Xiaoyue.

"Xiaoyue, ask Da Zhuang to let me come over. Is there something wrong?"

Li Xiaoyue pointed to the thirty jars of spirits loaded on the bullock cart.

"This is strong alcohol. You cannot drink it, but it can reduce inflammation of the wound and reduce death caused by wound inflammation."

Gongsun Lian was stunned, his eyes showing joy, "Okay, I thank you on behalf of thousands of soldiers."

Li Xiaoyue's eyes showed confusion, "Even my father didn't believe it when he first heard about it. Don't you doubt it?"

"I don't know if strong alcohol can prevent wounds from becoming inflamed, but I believe you. You've never been one to make things up out of thin air or speak without restraint."
