Zhenguo Gong has always had a lot of means, and although there are very few things like using poison, it doesn't mean that it won't be used.

The poison provided by Sheng Qingyuan will not cause any harm to the human body, but will only make people temporarily incapacitated.

Because the demand for medicine is too large, the effect of the medicine put into the Yanbei military camp can only last for half an hour.

After half an hour, all the soldiers who have been drugged will be able to sober up and regain a certain ability to move, but if they want to reach the point where they can fight, it will take at least a day.

This is also the reason why the Zhenguo Guild agrees to use the medicine.

He just wants to protect Da Zhou.

"When will they wake up?" Ye Lin asked coldly.

Zhen Guogong didn't hide it from him, and said, "Half an hour at most, but if you want to fight against our soldiers, it will take at least a day."

Ye Lin sneered, "Your calculation is really good, this is only the strength left for us to evacuate?"

"Yes." Zhen Guogong directly admitted, "After half an hour, if you don't evacuate, then don't blame us for being polite."

Ye Lin's face was very ugly, he didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Liu Beichuan, who had already woken up, asked Zhen Guogong angrily, "Now is the best time to attack, so that they all have to die!"

Zhen Guogong said in a cold voice, "What I want is to protect the land of the Great Zhou, not to be a pure executioner."

If all the people in Yanbei are killed now, it will be too cruel.

Liu Beichuan said angrily: "You have let them go now with a soft heart, will they let us go in the future? When they recovered, it was they who attacked in turn, and it was our soldiers who died at that time! Didn't you say that you would spare the lives of our soldiers? Is that how you cherish it?!"

"Ye Lin is not as simple as you think." Zhen Guogong said in a deep voice.

Now I am not in a hurry to attack, it is not to protect the lives of the soldiers of Yanbei, it is the lives of the soldiers of the Great Zhou that are being protected.

"In my opinion, you just want to help Yanbei, Bai Ting, I really didn't wronged you a few years ago, you just want to betray Da Zhou." Liu Beichuan said angrily.

General Chang, who had already settled the people of Xu Bingcheng to take refuge in the rear, came to Zhenguogong's side, looked at Liu Beichuan, and his face was full of disgust, "You better shut up, don't talk if you don't have a brain."

After speaking, General Chang directly clicked on Liu Beichuan's acupoint, making him unable to speak or move, but his consciousness could remain awake.

It's time for such an idiot to take a good look at how short-sighted and stupid he really is.

Ye Lin returned to the barracks and asked the military doctor to check it again.

The answer given by the military doctor was the same as that given by Zhen Guogong.

Ye Lin could only keep his face calm and let people order to evacuate.

He knew very well in his heart that if he didn't withdraw after half an hour, Bai Ting would definitely come in, and at that time, the soldiers who were powerless would fall into the hands of the soldiers of the Great Zhou, and they would only wait to be captured or die.

Evacuate now, the city that was fought before may not be saved, but at least it can save the lives of the soldiers, it is not easy to train the soldiers, and once the person dies, there is nothing.

Half an hour later, Yanbei's army withdrew, and Zhenguo Gong arranged a small team to clean up the traps laid by Yanbei's army.

Pits, sharp blades, spikes stained with poison, rolling stones left on high ground, etc., etc., etc.

When Liu Beichuan saw the traps cleared by the soldiers, everyone was stupid.

General Chang looked at Liu Beichuan's shocked appearance and said, "If you still have a little brain, you should be able to imagine what would have happened if we had just forcibly rushed in desperately?!"

Liu Beichuan's face was pale, and he wanted to speak but couldn't speak.

Zhen Guogong glanced at him and motioned to General Chang to solve his acupoint.

After Liu Beichuan was finally able to speak, he immediately expressed his doubts, "What if there are traps? This trap can be dismantled now, but it can't be dismantled just now?!"

Listening to Liu Beichuan's questioning, General Chang couldn't help but click on his acupoint again, and said to Zhen Guogong: "General, I'm really sorry, what he said was too stupid, I was afraid that I would become stupid if I heard too much, so I couldn't help but shut him up."

Zhen Guogong walked up to Liu Beichuan and said to him patiently, "These traps in Yanbei are very secretive, and once the soldiers are in a hurry to break in, it will be difficult to carefully notice the traps under their feet and around them. Once you fall into the trap, you have no choice but to die."

Then he said, "If the soldiers are cautious and break in, in case someone does not have Chinese medicine and has the ability to fight back, and sneak attack at a high place, we are in an extremely disadvantageous situation in this terrain, and once this happens, our soldiers will also be shot down and knocked down."

In the end, Zhen Guogong said, "The life of every soldier is very precious, and there are not many soldiers left at our disposal, and we can't afford to sacrifice any more."

The illusion they are now fabricating is that they still have at least 10,000 troops, so that Ye Lin can be jealous.

But if Ye Lin realized that their real strength was not so much, he would no longer care about so much, and directly launched a strong attack, at that time, even if he had a thousand schemes, in the case that the terrain was not advantageous and the number of people was even smaller, there would be nothing he could do.

After listening to Zhen Guogong's explanation, Liu Beichuan seemed to understand something, but his face and dignity still made him choose to maintain a disdainful posture.

This gesture made General Chang want to beat him up directly.

Zhen Guogong just smiled faintly and waved his hand, asking him not to worry so much about Liu Beichuan, turned around and left.

This city is not big, but this is the key to guarding Xu Bingcheng.

As long as this city is defended, Xu Bingcheng can also be defended, and there is no need to worry about Yanbei's army being able to drive straight into the capital of the Great Zhou.

After this good news was transmitted back to the capital, the government and the opposition were overjoyed, and they all praised him as worthy of being the prince of Zhenguo.

However, some people are not very happy with this good news.

In such adversity, Zhen Guogong was still able to achieve victory, which made the people more convinced of him, and his prestige in the community would be higher.

In this way, if he returns to the court in the future, then won't he be forced to reward him?

Chu Xuanjin felt very uncomfortable when she thought of this.

Zuo Ye proposed to Chu Xuanjin: "Your Majesty, now he has only won one game, and has not yet achieved the final victory, if there is someone in the back who can win the final victory, then his reputation will not be so high. The people will only remember the one who finally brought back the lost city."

Chu Xuanjin thought for a moment and felt that it made sense, and then asked, "Then who do you think should be appropriate?"

"Your Majesty, Liu Beichuan is still on the front line." Zuo Ye said.

Chu Xuanjin rarely agreed with Zuo Ye's opinion at the first time, and said with his eyebrows: "He was the one who led the troops before, so it caused Da Zhou to lose so many cities one after another, and almost even Xu Bingcheng was lost, if he is still allowed to lead the troops now, I am afraid that the city that he finally got back will be destroyed again."

"Your Majesty is right." Zuo Ye's face was slightly pale.

Some were displeased that Chu Xuanjin didn't listen to him, but what was even more angry was that Liu Beichuan was useless.

He had already sent such a good opportunity for meritorious service to him, but he couldn't cherish it, he couldn't grasp it, waste, waste!

"Is there anyone else available?" Chu Xuanjin asked again.

After Zuo Ye thought about it, he said, "Your Majesty, what does General Chang Xu think?"

"Chang Xu?" Chu Xuanjin was a little surprised that Zuo Ye would mention him, "Hasn't he always been at odds with you? How would you recommend him? Moreover, the relationship between him and Bai Ting is quite good, if you let him lead the troops, then what is the difference between letting Bai Ting lead the troops?"

Zuo Ye said, "Your Majesty, what is the personal grudge of the minister in the face of the safety of the Great Zhou?"

After a pause, Zuo Ye said meaningfully: "Moreover, the reason why the minister recommended Chang Xu is that in addition to the fact that he does have this ability, it is actually because he has a good relationship with Bai Ting."

"What do you mean by that?" Chu Xuanjin sat up a little straighter, leaned over and asked him.

Zuo Ye curled his lips and said, "Your Majesty, people are selfish and greedy, as long as Chang Xu is by Bai Ting's side, then he will always be only a deputy general, not a chief general. Once he realizes the power of the commander, do you think he is willing to continue to be a lieutenant general? Are you still willing to listen to Bai Ting's orders unconditionally?"

Chu Xuanjin understood, and said with a smile: "It's still Aiqing who understands it, since that's the case, let's do it according to your wishes."

However, after this decree was spread, it was boycotted by a group of officials led by Cheng Yi.

"Your Majesty, please think twice and take back your will!" Cheng Yi took the lead and said.

"Prime Minister, do you know what you're talking about?" Chu Xuanjin asked coldly.

Cheng Yi was picked up by him, but for the sake of Zhenguo Gong's matter, he actually fought against him many times!

Zuo Ye also asked him in a cold voice, "Prime Minister, do you have any objections to this decision?" In the past few years, General Chang has always led troops, and his familiarity with the border passes is no less than that of Bai Ting."

Then he said: "Speaking of which, he is still the person brought out by Bai Ting himself, and it is reliable to think about it, General Bai is old, and now that Xu Bingcheng has been stabilized, he should also let young people come to experience and experience, so that he will not be overwhelmed."

Cheng Yi retorted with a serious face: "Master Taishi, temporary replacement of the coach has always been a taboo on the battlefield, no matter what the relationship between this person and the boss is, it is an extremely inappropriate thing!"

Zuo Ye opened his mouth to speak, but Cheng Yi blocked Zuo Ye's words first, "Secondly, this time it is only a temporary victory, and we have not succeeded in recovering all the cities, but we are now scattered in our troops, we have neglected to train our troops over the years, and there is a serious shortage of elite soldiers, and we don't have too many soldiers to let us experience defeat."

The generals should be.

Some of them have a good relationship with Cheng Yi, and they have also figured out many things under the discussion with Cheng Yi these days.

No matter what internal contradictions they have, they must get rid of the external troubles first, otherwise the Great Zhou will be gone, and it will be useless for them to fight to the death.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" The ministers asked Chu Xuanjin one after another.

Even Zuo Ye's people, after seeing everyone's appearance, slowly knelt down, and saw that Zuo Ye was almost about to vomit out a mouthful of blood.

That's his man!

Chu Xuanjin didn't expect these people to be so consistent, and subconsciously looked at Zuo Ye.

Zuo Ye's eyebrows were furrowed, and he wanted to ignore their dissatisfaction and wanted to enforce it.

At this time, Cheng Yi sent the Wanmin *** book again, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the idea of the people, they all plead that before the end of the war, they must not shake the position of the princess of Zhenguo!"

Cheng Yi said this loudly, and handed over the prepared Wanmin *** book to the eunuch, and then the eunuch handed it to Chu Xuanjin.
