Concubine Lie beware: the emperor is too ferocious

Chapter 12 How to deal with her?
Three days later, the army of the Ziye Kingdom returned to the capital, Dongyan City.

The news that the army was defeated without a fight that followed was overwhelming and spread throughout the streets and alleys of Dongyan City.

In the general's mansion, Liu Tao, who had already recovered from his illness, was pacing back and forth in the study anxiously.

Because he was ill, his daughter Liu Yunjin stole the military talisman, and it was an established fact that he went to Nanzhao for him. He only asked the emperor to bless her to return safely.

Now that the army was returning to the city, when he heard the news that the commander had been captured, he was really hit hard. Now he was very anxious, wondering what the enemy would do if they captured her daughter.

If Nangong Muyan used her to reward the three armies, then... I can't imagine!
The most urgent task at the moment is to find a way to save his daughter. As for the crime of deceiving the king, he will bear all the crimes. If the king wants him to kill his family, he will have nothing to say.

In the Wenhua Hall, Xiao Qingming, the lord of the Purple Leaf Kingdom, was dressed in a dragon robe and sat on the throne.

Deputy Commander Peng Gan knelt on the main hall, and after reporting the details of the Battle of Longyu Pass, he was waiting for Xiao Qingming to come down and punish him.

"In the battle of Longyuguan, our army was defeated without a fight. The general Liu Tao was captured. I am deeply saddened. What do you think about this matter, may you tell me something?" Xiao Qingming did not convict Peng Gan, but consulted the opinions of the Sangong and Jiuqing.

"Your Majesty, after the commander of our army was captured in this battle, Nan Zhaoguo immediately ordered his troops to return to the court. It can be seen that the other party wants to use General Liu as a bargaining chip to negotiate peace with our Ziye Kingdom!" Yan Qing stepped forward and said.

"No, I thought that if we talk about peace, we should send envoys to send a letter three days ago, but why has there been no movement in Nanzhao Kingdom? As for General Liu, his life and death are unknown, and I am afraid that it is already a disaster!" Du Hongjie, the prime minister of the main combat faction, retorted Opinion said.

"If Nan Zhaoguo really uses Liu Tao as a bargaining chip and wants to make peace with me, how should he deal with it?" Xiao Qingming had a clear account in his stomach, but he still hoped that someone would say it for him.

"Returning to the emperor, the reason for this battle is because of the ownership of Juliang City. If you can exchange Juliang City for General Liu, Your Majesty should not hesitate. You must know that cities are easy to get, but good generals are hard to find. Ten Juliang cities can also be exchanged." No General Liu!" Yan Qing replied.

"The old man asked Mr. Yan, everyone said that General Liu was brave and good at fighting, and one person could be worth thousands of troops, but why was he captured alive by the enemy this time? Besides, although Juliang City is small, it is a transportation and trade fortress. It is related to the great plan of Ziye Kingdom's territory and country, so it must not be missed!"

Du Hongjie has always had a bad relationship with Liu Tao, thinking that Liu Tao is too old to match the prestige of the past, and it is not worth the monarch to exchange an orange city for an old man.

"The Prime Minister means that as long as Juliang City is concerned, General Liu's life will be ignored?" Yan Qing thinks that Du Hongjie's vision is too short-sighted.

"As for the capture of General Liu, I am also deeply saddened, but the three armies cannot be without a commander for a day. The most urgent thing is to wait for the emperor to choose another good general to take the command of the army." Du Hongjie cupped his hands.

"Think twice, Your Majesty!" Yan Qing looked at Xiao Qingming and said.

"The two love ministers have their own reasons. However, I think what Du Xiang said is more reasonable. General Liu's capture is a foregone conclusion. Whether he will survive or not is unknown. I can't wait for the news of the peace talks in Nanzhao Kingdom. !" Xiao Qingming was secretly complacent, but the scheming Prime Minister Du Hongjie knew my heart well.

"Your Majesty, General Liu is a famous general with outstanding military exploits. If he is not rescued in time, if he surrenders to the enemy, he will end up giving the enemy even more wings. I'm afraid we will regret it when we meet on the battlefield someday!" Yan Qing Persuade.

"Master Yan is serious. I know that General Liu is a man. Even if he is captured, he would rather die than commit treason to the enemy. I still have confidence in this!"

Xiao Qingming doesn't lose sight of people, he was promoted because of Liu Tao's integrity, wisdom and courage, and in order to solve Liu Tao's serious illness as soon as possible, he said: "Then who should I choose to take over the post of General Liu? Woolen cloth?"
