"Yes, Prime Minister" when everyone was seated, Kou Zhun raised his glass and said loudly, "Everyone, the Liao people are brave and have led troops to invade the south. The Empress Dowager has become a turtle in a urn, as long as His Majesty gives an imperial order, taking the head of the Liao general is like picking something out of a bag!"

"The prime minister is right!" Li Jilong also raised his glass and said, "The Liao bandits are already under the control of our army. As long as His Majesty orders, I can charge into the enemy's camp and capture the head of the enemy by myself!"

"Kou Xiang, what are you doing? Why doesn't the lonely king know at all?"

"My lord," Kou Zhun smiled, "This table of wine and food is not a table of wine and food, but a reassurance."

"Reassurance?"

"Your Majesty has always been worried that the Liao people will break the city, so he secretly sent people to follow the minister to inquire about the news. After discussing with General Li, the minister and General Li arranged a banquet for everyone. The people who followed must have told His Majesty what the minister and others said by now. .”

Defang looked at Kou Zhun and thought for a while, "What you mean is that you retreated, the enemy in His Majesty's heart."

"My lord is wise, that's right."

"Well, you Kou Zhun, if you don't tell the lonely king about this kind of thing first, the lonely king will not drink the wine well." De Fang poured himself a glass and drank it down. "Yeah! Good wine!"
