Cai Laoliu listened blankly as the general who rushed back told him about today's battle.
Of course, the most important thing is to know what Gao Zhang, the ruthless senior brother who is a strong contender for the number one talent in the Song Dynasty, has done.
As for Tong Zhisheng, that vulgar warrior, you only need to glance at him from the corner of your eye. He definitely doesn't pose any threat to you.
But when Cai Laoliu heard that his senior brother Gao Zhang was actually on the battlefield, he built himself a high platform several feet above the ground. He stayed on it from the beginning of the battle until the battle was completed, and then he came down.
Hearing this, Cai Laoliu felt so distressed that he couldn't breathe. Sure enough, this despicable senior brother could come up with all kinds of crazy tricks in order to show off.
After hearing that the war was over, Gao Zhang sorted out the remains of the fallen soldiers there.
It was also decided to build a huge stone monument there, and to engrave the names of the fallen soldiers on it.
It is also time to write the eight characters "Defend the home and the country and live forever" on the stone tablets of those fallen soldiers.
Cai Laoliu's eyes were red and he slapped the table hard with his palm.
"Despicable! It's so despicable. He even wanted to take advantage of the fallen soldiers. He was so shameless. Why wasn't I there? If it were me, I would definitely be able to do better than him..."
What a famous scene. If I were the one present, even if I were facing the fallen soldiers, beating my chest and crying, I would definitely be able to win high praise from the soldiers and civilians in Jiangnan.
Let himself, the Qilin son of the Cai family who exposed the Zhu family's conspiracy to rebel against the prime minister, take his reputation to a higher level.
It's a pity that it was just one step away. Why was I so afraid to go to the battlefield at that time?
As a result, now Gao Zhang and Tong Zhisheng, that vulgar warrior, have both made great achievements in battle, but I can only be here beating my chest and feeling regretful...
There was a loud snap, causing all the Cai Mansion's followers in the cabin to stare dumbfoundedly at Cai Laoliu who suddenly raised his hand and gave himself a slap in the face.
On the face where the bruises were almost gone, there was another bright red slap mark. Cai Liulang took a breath and rubbed away the tears caused by the harshness of the hand.
"No, I, Cai Yao, must never lag behind others again. Hurry, prepare my horse quickly."
"Ah, Mukuro, what are you doing?"
"What else can I do, of course, is to catch up with the army. I will risk my own life and fight bloody battles with other soldiers to seize the city of Suzhou, defeat Zhu's rebels, and capture Zhu Meng alive!"
"..." Seeing this Rokuro who was obviously furious, jumping to his feet and roaring.
The entire Cai family looked at each other in despair, but they had no choice but to follow his instructions.

When Prime Minister Liu hurried to the city gate, at this moment, batches of defeated soldiers were pouring into the city.
The King of Wu, Zhu Meng, whose face was frighteningly pale at the moment, was standing on top of the city surrounded by a group of defeated generals who had thrown away their armor.
At this moment, the atmosphere on the top of the city seemed very depressing, and before the expedition, some of them thought that Gao Zhang's son was just a rookie.
As long as they take action, they can capture the heroes of the world. At this moment, one or two of them are like gamblers who lost thousands of money and were caught red-handed by the boss of a black gambling shop.
It's like a private salt dealer who finds out that all his private salt has been replaced by silt by profiteers.
They all stood here dejectedly, looking anxiously at Zhu Meng, who had a gloomy face and eyes full of murderous intent, as if he was about to explode and kill at any time.
Zhu Meng knew very well that he was the King of Wu of the Great Wu Kingdom, and he certainly could not blame himself for this defeat.
However, after suffering such a huge defeat, a scapegoat must be found to kill the chicken and respect the monkey.
By the way, he will severely intimidate those who are afraid at this moment, so that these people can only continue to be bound to themselves, and they will go all the way to darkness.
Several of these generals were from the Zhu family. They were all related to him by blood, so there was no doubt about their loyalty.
So those who use it to kill chickens and honor monkeys can naturally only choose the general who usually doesn't listen to himself very much. But in this battle, he was also responsible for commanding the army. As a result, he escaped faster than anyone else and was the first general to escape back to Suzhou... …
The tall and burly General Gu felt a little guilty at the moment. He also secretly regretted that since he had already escaped, why did he have to escape back to Suzhou City.
The point is that he was the first one to escape, which was a bit better luck. But after Te Niang returned to Suzhou, it took a long time for Zhu Meng to escape in embarrassment.
This is a bit embarrassing, after all, Zhu Meng is his lord now...
And as Zhu Meng's eyes turned this way, General Gu's heart suddenly sounded alarm bells.
The first time he subconsciously touched his waist, he found nothing. When he fled back, whether the knife was sheathed or not, General Gu even forgot about it...
"Get him!" With Zhu Meng's low roar, several generals rushed out like wolves and tigers, and quickly suppressed the struggling General Gu.
Zhu Meng raised his hand, and the cold light swayed from his waist, causing the more than ten generals not named Zhu to look fearful and retreat continuously.
Fortunately, Zhu Meng was not a brainless person. He took the sword and began to count all the things that General Gu had done.
During the fierce battle, they did not respect orders. When reinforcements from the imperial officers and soldiers came, they did not know how to form a formation to resist, and fled immediately.
"...If you don't follow the military discipline of our army, it will cause heavy losses to our officers and soldiers. If I don't kill you today, it will be in accordance with military law, national law, and natural law."
Following General Gu's cry for help, King Zhu Meng of Wu raised his sword and dropped his head, with a face full of fear and ferociousness, rolling directly onto the city head.
It rolled all the way and landed a few steps away. At this moment, Prime Minister Liu happened to step up to the top of the city with his lapels raised.
He saw the head that was only one step away from him, staring at death.
Prime Minister Liu trembled and almost died of fright.
#####
After killing a thorn, Zhu Men finally felt that the depression in his chest had dissipated a lot.
Naturally, I also noticed the vigilant and fearful expressions on the faces of the generals who came from the wealthy family.
Zhu Meng, who knew that he now needed the unity of his men, comforted these generals with kind words.
Prime Minister Liu, who had arrived, was also beating drums, finally calming down all the generals. Following the instructions of the King of Wu, they went to appease the remaining defeated generals.
After the generals left one after another, Prime Minister Liu couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, where is Master Ning?"
"You actually dared to offend me and tried to take my mount. I have already killed you with my own hands."
Zhu Meng's eyelids twitched and he said impatiently.
"..."
