Everyone has their own devils

The Deputy Privy Councilor Zhang Shijie hurried over, his face full of joy, and entered the hall and said, "Emperor, great victory, great victory... In this battle, our army captured more than 17,000 Yuan troops, harvested 267 warships, more than 3,000 war horses, and countless weapons and armor!"

But after saying that, he noticed that the ministers in the hall seemed to be in a bad mood. In confusion, he asked, "Don't you all feel surprised?"

No one answered him.

Zhao Dongting just asked: "How many casualties are our army?"

It seems that I don't care about this victory at all.

Zhang Shijie felt strange, but he could only answer honestly, "Our army soldiers were killed more than 7,0600 people."

Except for those who died in Yue Peng and Su Quandang when they attracted the Yuan army, most of these soldiers were killed in the bloody battle of Huanglongling.

Two thousand to fifty thousand, the enemy was destroyed, and only seven thousand people were killed in battle. This was an exciting record, but Zhao Dongting was a little unhappy.

These seven thousand people were all soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and they were living lives.

The ministers noticed Zhao Dongting's face, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the Political Consultative Hall was a little heavy.

At the same time, the prefecture of Haikang County, Leizhou Prefecture.

The prefect Ge Lijun lived high in the hall, and the civil servants and generals of Leizhou Prefecture were placed on the left and right, each sitting on the left.

The master with two beards stood beside Ge Lijun with a cunning face. He was born with a scathing look and looked particularly vulgar.

Ge Lijun could not see any joy and anger on his face, and glanced at the people in the hall and said, "I believe you already know about the great defeat of the Yuan army in Wuzhou?"

Everyone in the hall nodded, but their expressions were different, some were regretful, some were happy, and some were thoughtful.

Ge Lijun saw all the expressions of these people and slowly said, "You all think, what should we do?"

As soon as he said, the man on the top of his left side said, "The Yuan army was destroyed, and the Song army suffered heavy losses. The last general thought that we should take this opportunity to take down the Viazhou in one fell swoop and capture the Emperor of Song!"

His name is Qi Shucai, who is the chief officer of the Leizhou Army and is also Ge ​​Lijun's brother-in-law. Ge Lijun's wife is now his wife, and his current magistrate's wife is his own sister. In some of this relationship, Qi Shucai is naturally Ge Lijun's loyal confidant.

Someone heard Qi Shucai's words and his expression changed slightly and smelled some unusual meaning.

Then, a big man with a beard in the hall suddenly became furious and slapped the table and scolded: "You traitor, how dare you speak so rudely. We are generals of the Song Dynasty, and with the salary of the court, how dare you say such a ruthless thing?"

This big man with a beard was named Liu Hongqi. He was a famous general in Leizhou Prefecture and the commander of the Leizhou Flying Army. He was appointed as the chief magistrate of the eighth-rank imperial martial arts lieutenant.

Of course, his official position is not as good as that of Qi Shucai. Qi Shucai was the general manager of the army and was the training chief of the entire Leizhou army.

Seeing Liu Hongqiu being so angry, Qi Shucai didn't care or get angry. He just chuckled: "You are a general of the Song Dynasty. Why didn't you go to support when the attack on Wuzhou?"

"That's not the governor..."

Liu Hongqiu looked at Ge Lijun, and said halfway, suddenly woke up, hurriedly stopped and sat down.

Although he was reckless by nature, he was not a fool. When the Yuan army attacked Guizhou Island, he tried his best to ask Ge Lijun to reinforce Guizhou Island, but Ge Lijun never agreed. Now that Qi Shu had just said these words, he of course also thought about Ge Lijun's thoughts.

Recalling the recent rumors, Liu Hongqiu couldn't help but sigh, "Does the magistrate really want to vote for the top score?"

He was a loyal and righteous person and would never be willing to abandon Song and Sect Yuan, but he also knew that if he had made a name for himself now, he would only be dealt with by Ge Lijun.

When Ge Lijun saw Liu Hongqian sitting down suddenly, he sneered in his eyes and said, "I have something to say to you, I want to mention something to you, the court has been in trouble for a long time. Your salary has been paid from our government."

When everyone below heard what he said, they immediately understood what he meant. He was clearly trying to oppose the Song Dynasty.

Those who were loyal to Ge Lijun immediately bowed and said, "We must follow the leader of the great men!"

The Ge Li monarch has been in charge of Leizhou Prefecture for nearly ten years and has cultivated a great power here. These people who immediately made a statement account for most of the people in the hall.

Immediately afterwards, the civil officials and military generals who were originally somewhat unrestrained also bowed, "We are waiting for the order of Lord!"

Immediately, there were only a few people left in the hall without expressing their opinions.

Liu Hongqiu was filled with anger and held his hand under the table tightly. However, when everyone in the hall knew that the overall situation had been settled, he thought for a few minutes and could only bow and say, "I am willing to listen to the orders of the Lord!"

As the commander of the Flying Army, he has always had prestige in the Leizhou Army. The few people who had not expressed their opinions were also his confidants.

At this time, seeing Liu Hongqian expressing his opinion, the people also bowed and said, "I am willing to listen to the orders of the Lord!"

"good!"

Ge Lijun then smiled, "It's not in vain that my mansion has taken care of you over the years."

The master said flatteringly from the side, "Sir, what are our plans next?"

Ge Lijun said: "The demise of the Song Dynasty is coming soon, so we naturally took this opportunity to take down the Song Emperor and send him to the Yuan Dynasty emperor for credit."

He did see Zhang Hongfan, and just as Zhao Dongting thought, he was afraid that Zhang Hongfan would use him as cannon fodder, so he did not immediately express his opinion on his bid to the Yuan Dynasty. Now, the Yuan army was defeated and the Song army was injured. He realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he hurriedly waved his civil servants and military officials to the prefecture.

As long as Emperor Song is taken down, he will join the Yuan Dynasty as a great minister, and he will rise to the top of the world and be just around the corner.

Thinking of the proud part, even Ge Lijun's cunning appearance could not help but look a little proud in his eyes.

The master bent down next to him, "Sir, the wise and wise."

He has no other skills, but he is a good player to observe his words and expressions and flatter.

Qi Shu said in the hall: "Sir, then I will go back and summon troops and prepare to attack the island of Guizhou."

In fact, what he said was instructed by Ge Lijun. In modern terms, it was a child caregiver. Ge Lijun took great pains to completely conquer his generals.

He glanced at his brother-in-law with a slightly praise, and he nodded slowly and said, "Okay, then the generals go back to prepare Qi army and horses. Five days later, warships gathered at the Xiliu Ferry. The generals led their troops to the Xiliu Ferry before the hour of the hour, and the troops set off on the Benzhou Island."

"yes!"

A group of civil and military officials took the order and retreated one after another.
