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

Chapter 164 You are a treacherous minister, don’t mind the affairs of loyal ministers

Old Man Li shook his head, his tone quite melancholy.

"I don't have a good idea. If I can get past those nagging civil servants, I won't come back from the capital."

Gongsun Lian thought for a while, "Since it is Xiaoyue's request, then I will try my best to save the lives of those prisoners."

"Xiaoyue has a lot of ingenuity. After I finish cleaning up here, I will go back to Lihua Village."

Old Man Li also smiled, "Well, if I had been half as clever as my daughter, I wouldn't have been so embarrassed."

Gongsun Lian chuckled, "Actually, our Lanshan County is pretty good. The sky is high, the sky is high, and we are free."

Old Man Li laughed heartily, "What I'm saying is that when the weather gets hot, no one will care about me even if I run naked on the road."

Gongsun Lian blushed and said, "Uncle Li, be careful what you say."

Old Man Li burst out laughing again, and he just said a joke, which made the boy from the Gongsun family blush.

Like a big girl, interesting.

Soon Huo Yingjie received Gongsun Lian's instructions, "Keep the prisoner behind and clean the prisoner's wounds."

"Yeah?" Huo Yingjie was stunned and looked at Niu Dazhuang, "Are you sure the military advisor told you?"

This is so different from what I said before!

Niu Dazhuang lay in Huo Yingjie's ear and whispered, "It was Mrs. Li who told the military advisor to keep the prisoners and let them open up wasteland next spring."

Huo Yingjie was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Yes, very good. These are strong laborers, they will be useful in clearing wasteland and building roads."

So Huo Yingjie quickly ordered to keep the prisoners.

Of course, the prisoners were only slightly injured, and if they were missing arms or legs, they would be repaired with one more knife.

Throughout the day, there were a total of 8000 lightly wounded prisoners.

All wounds were cleaned with spirits and simply bandaged.

The antiseptic spirits and gauze originally given to Dayan's soldiers were not used much due to the few injuries, and there was still a lot left.

Doctor Liu came to the battlefield and also discovered the magical effect of spirits.

He observed carefully and recorded all the processes by which spirits could reduce inflammation.

Every time there was a battle at Zhenxiguan, Doctor Liu would come over.

In this battle, not only did they win with less, but their own casualties were very small, and the opponent's entire army was almost annihilated.

Leaving behind [-] dead soldiers and prisoners, the Qi Kingdom will definitely be severely weakened.

"Major General, we captured a prince from Qi State named Sa Riman."

Huo Yingjie was surprised, "Are you still alive?"

"Alive, just a broken leg." Xiaobing replied, "It's over there."

Huo Yingjie strode over, and it turned out to be his "old acquaintance" Sa Riman.

Sa Riman often appears in Zhenxiguan, and often goes to the capital.

Most of those detailed works are from the layout of Sa Riman.

Salman was disheartened when he saw that his injured leg had been bandaged.

When he saw Huo Yingjie appearing in front of him, he was even more embarrassed, "Major General Huo, don't be complacent, our Qi country will not let it go."

"You can't protect yourself, so you are still talking harshly." Huo Yingjie sneered, "Arrest him and everyone around him, and interrogate him severely. How much of Qi Guo's work does Da Yan still have?"

Sa Riman was dissatisfied, "I am the prince of Qi State. Even if your majesty sees me, he will look kind and cheerful."

Huo Yingjie sneered, his handsome face a little gray, "Your Majesty is kind and won't care about people like you, but when you are here, you are a prisoner."

"When the Qi Kingdom brazenly marches eastward and invades our great Yan, you will be our enemy. You must have the consciousness of being a prisoner and don't be arrogant."

When Sa Riman heard this, he stared like a deflated ball.

Liu Zicheng went to the battlefield in person, and the aftermath work was already done.After confirming the battle situation again, Liu Zicheng immediately reported the truth truthfully.

Liu Zicheng wanted to exaggerate his achievements, but Liu Zicheng knew that His Majesty was suspicious, and maybe the people around him were His Majesty's people.

Of course, it is necessary to exaggerate appropriately, but it cannot be outrageous.

Liu Zicheng was so happy that he asked people to take care of the prisoners of war. When His Majesty orders, he can go to Beijing to offer the prisoners.

By then, he will be a veritable General Liu, and no one can take away his credit.

At the same time, Gongsun Lian returned the food and grass.

Liu Zicheng was stunned, "Brother Gongsun, General Huo, how could you hide this from me?"

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "If I didn't hide it from you, how could you be so anxious? If you weren't anxious, how could those Qi State spies believe that this was true?"

"This..." Liu Zicheng was a little annoyed when he saw Huo Yingjie's cynical expression, "Then you should tell me that I'm good at pretending. I can definitely pretend to be more like him."

Huo Yingjie waved his hand, "Okay, now that the battle is over, we have won the victory. There is no need to say anything else."

"Anyway, you are the general, and you have the greatest credit. As for me and the military advisor, you should remain the same as before."

Liu Zicheng said with a dark face, "You deceived the superiors and concealed the truth from the inferiors, and there are still many things that have not been reported. Why didn't you report that lethal drought thunder?"

"Not only did you fail to report it to me, but you also failed to report it to His Majesty. What you did was very dangerous and against the rules. Don't you know?"

Huo Yingjie shrugged, "Time is urgent and there is no time. I have something else to do, General. I will take my leave."

After saying that, Huo Yingjie didn't want to listen to Liu Zicheng's chatter. He hadn't had a good rest these days, and he could finally sleep peacefully today.

Liu Zicheng glared, "Huo Yingjie, don't be arrogant. I will tell your Majesty the truth."

"Whatever you want." Huo Yingjie walked away without looking back.

When Liu Zicheng saw Huo Yingjie leaving, he looked at Gongsun Lian, "He is too crazy and will die quickly. Why don't you try to persuade him?"

Gongsun Lian smiled, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes, "If everything was fine with him, he might have died long ago, right?"

"You continue to be a sycophant and a treacherous minister. Don't think about us loyal ministers."

"You Gongsun Lian, you don't know good from evil." Liu Zicheng was so angry that he wanted to beat Gongsun Lian right now.

It's just that now that he is a general, he cannot fight with Gongsun Lian in public. It would be inappropriate.

"Tell me about that lethal drought mine. What is it?"

This is his main purpose. If he doesn't understand it and doesn't have it in his hands, he always feels uneasy.

Gongsun Lian chuckled, "You only need to know the efficacy of the improved fire thunder, and you don't need to know anything else."

"When he returns to Beijing to report on his duties later, the Major General will report it to His Majesty, and it must be kept confidential."

"After all, it's very powerful. If the secret is leaked, both you and I will lose our heads. Do you still want to know now?"

Of course Liu Zicheng still wanted it, but he didn't dare to say, "As good as you are, I still won't get involved in such troublesome things."

The court must have such a sharp weapon in its hands.

All he had to do was report Gongsun Lian and Huo Yingjie to conceal him and let the emperor know.

As for how His Majesty handles such a sharp weapon, that is His Majesty's business.

Anyway, Gongsun Lian and Huo Yingjie had nothing to eat, so they vented their anger.

In the past, in order to fight for power and gain, he did everything according to His Majesty's wishes.

But after coming to Zhenxiguan and getting along with Huo Yingjie and Gongsun Lian, I realized that a general with great achievements is really pathetic.

Liu Zicheng always reminds himself that the Liu family must not be like the Huo family.

If possible, he would still want to be a civil servant, at least it would be safe.

For a military general like him, once Zhenxi Pass is lost, in order to preserve the reputation of the Liu family and for the sake of the daughter in the palace, he will have to commit suicide to preserve the glory of the Liu family.
