Zuo Liangyu regained consciousness from his drowsiness and opened his eyes. The first thing he thought of was his son's safety, so he opened his mouth and shouted: "Jinbao..."

Jinbao is Zuo Menggeng’s nickname.

After shouting a few words, Zuo Liangyu shut up, because he remembered that Zuo Menggeng was captured, and now his life or death is unknown.

So he struggled to get up, but struggled several times without even turning over.

At this moment, a surprised voice sounded from beside him.

"Dad! Are you awake?!"

Turning around, he saw it was Zuo Mengeng.

Zuo Liangyu was stunned for a moment, then thought that he was hallucinating or had not yet woken up, but he still couldn't help asking: "Jinbao, are you back? Could it be that becoming a father is a dream?"

As he spoke, he pinched his fingers hard.

It hurts.

It's not a dream.

Zuo Mengeng said with red eyes: "The son is unfilial and makes the father worried."

Zuo Liangyu stretched out his hand, held Zuo Mengeng's hand, and said with red eyes: "It's good to come back. Isn't it just a defeat? Our Zuo family has an army of 800,000, even if you lose two more

The venue is no problem.”

At this moment, Zuo Liangyu felt that his son's return alive made him happier than anything else.

Zuo Mengeng, however, looked ashamed and said: "Dad, I was captured, and then led the army of supervising the country to open the Jiangxia city gate..."

At this point, Zuo Mengeng stopped talking.

Zuo Liangyu was stunned for a moment.

Then he looked elsewhere in the room, only to find that there were several unfamiliar soldiers standing inside, with unfamiliar armor and stomach styles. Behind Zuo Mengeng, there was a tall and strong female soldier who was covered with a veil.

Seeing Zuo Liangyu looking over, the tall female soldier said: "Now that you've woken up, you should first listen to the prisoner's instructions.

The supervisor ordered: Since your father and son of the Zuo family have surrendered, their lives are safe. There is no need to think too much in the next few days. Let's take care of ourselves first."

After saying that, he looked over with sharp eyes.

Zuo Mengeng next to him reminded: "Dad, thank you quickly?"

When Zuo Liangyu heard what his son said, he couldn't help but get angry: I am sitting on an army of 800,000 people. If I surrender, I will give you a promise of "safeguarding my life"?

Qi returned to Qi, but Zuo Liangyu quickly judged that most of them, father and son, were now prisoners, so he could only say weakly: "I, Zuo Liangyu, thank you for supervising the country."

The tall and strong female soldier added: "The supervisor knows that you are suffering from corpse disease and that you don't have much time left. Therefore, I specially brought a magical medicine from the future to you, which may extend your life for a few more days."

As he said that, he took a strange box (a small plastic medicine box) from another female soldier behind him and handed it to Zuo Mengeng.

‘I don’t have much time left? The prison princess was kind enough to give me medicine? Could it be poison?’

Just when Zuo Liangyu suspected Zhu A'ao's intention in giving the medicine, Zuo Mengeng excitedly took the small medicine box, immediately knelt down and bowed in the direction of Jinkou Town: "Zuo Mengeng expressed his gratitude to the supervisor for his father's gift of medicine.

!”

Zuo Mengeng had seen many of Zhu Yura's magical things, and even used the "loudspeaker" himself, so he now believed that Zhu Yura was a fairy who descended to earth just like the rumors.

The magic medicine that the fairy brought from some "posterity" said it could extend his father's life. It must be true!

Zuo Menggeng was really grateful when he thought that his father and his son had raised troops to fight against Zhu Yura, but Zhu Yura generously gave them medicine.

"You father and son, let's have a good chat."

The tall and strong female soldier, also known as Huniu, said something and led the other soldiers out of the room that was filled with the scent of incense and Chinese medicine.

Zuo Mengeng opened the small medicine box and took out a handwritten instruction for the use of the medicine. After reading it, he couldn't help but said excitedly: "Father, the prison government actually gave you three kinds of magic medicine! My son will help you take the medicine now."

!”

As he said that, he went to pour hot water.

Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu was so angry that he almost vomited blood again, and shouted hurriedly: "Hu Tu! Can you eat the medicine that man gave me?! Do you want to die as a father quickly?"

Zuo Liangyu started coughing again as he spoke.

Zuo Mengeng hurriedly sat on the bedside, caressing his chest and patting his back, and said: "Dad, the medicine given by the prison country is really a miracle. If you don't believe it, look at it."

With that said, Zuo Mengeng took out the medicines from the medicine box, and surprisingly they were all in strange packaging that Zuo Liangyu had never seen before.

One is in a small plastic bottle, and there are two capsules. All in all, they don't look like ordinary drugs.

"If you don't believe it, my son will try the medicine for you first."

With that said, Zuo Mengeng took out a pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

Speaking of which, the drugs Hao Guangming found from later generations to treat pulmonary tuberculosis all have side effects - because most of the current drugs to treat pulmonary tuberculosis have certain side effects.

But Zuo Mengeng only ate one, so he naturally had no adverse reactions.

He got up and moved around for a while, and said: "Dad, you see, it is really not poison. And my son told you that the princess is just like the legend. She is a fairy who descended to the earth and has many magic weapons.

Yesterday, my son used a magic weapon called a "loudspeaker" to persuade the Jiangxia City garrison to surrender.

And the traitor Huang Shu didn't care about the lives of our father and son. He took control of the military power in the city while you were unconscious, father, and tried to occupy Jiangxia to resist the army of the Supervisor. However, he was killed directly by General Tiger with a sharp gun from more than a hundred steps away!

"

Zuo Liangyu saw that Zuo Menggeng was still chatting lively after taking the medicine for a while, without any signs of poisoning, and knowing about Huang Shu, he couldn't help but asked: "Is what you said true?"

"What did your son lie to you for?" Zuo Mengeng couldn't laugh or cry.

Zuo Liangyu finally calmed down. After thinking for a while, he asked again: "You helped the Supervisory State capture Jiangxia City. Does the Supervisory State promise a future and rewards?"

Zuo Mengeng blinked his eyes after hearing this and said tentatively: "To protect our lives, give father the magic medicine?"

"That's it?" Zuo Liangyu felt that he couldn't accept it, and then he said angrily: "It's nothing for me to be a dying person. If you don't have any fame or fortune, how will you live in the future? How can you live well?"

Zuo Mengeng said with a sad face: "Dad, my son has become a prisoner, and you were unconscious at the time. Seeing that our Zuo family's army is going to be named Huang, how can we negotiate terms with the prison country at that time? We can save our lives.

It's already pretty good.

What's more, the Supervisory State generously gave you the magic medicine - you didn't know that several doctors came for consultation, and they all said that you were hopeless and that you wouldn't live for a few days even if you woke up, so they asked your son to prepare your funeral.

Although the magic medicine given by the princess doesn’t say how long it can help you live longer, it may be good for one more month.”

After hearing these words and feeling that his body was so weak that it was difficult to even turn over, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but sigh, "That's it, I won't fight for being a father."

Having said that, Zuo Liangyu started thinking again as soon as he closed his eyes.

"The princess gave me medicine to extend my life, which means that I, Zuo Liangyu, am still of some use to her. Alas, I can only use this broken body to gain some favors for this unfulfilled son."

Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu opened his eyes again and said: "Jinbao, serve me and give my father some medicine."

···

Jinkou Town.

Red Lady, Zeng Yingzheng reported to Zhu Yuyao the seizures of two or three battles yesterday, as well as the casualty statistics via the intercom.

Zeng Yingxian said: "Yesterday, our army damaged seventeen warships in the water battle, all of which were small and medium-sized warships with less than 200 pieces of steel.

Ninety-seven naval officers were killed and 348 wounded.

Two hundred and thirty-three warships and 512 civilian ships were captured, including a total of 37 warships with more than 400 materials, 37 patrol ships, and one large warship with 600 materials.

In addition, more than 50,000 navy officers and soldiers of the Zuo Army were captured, and the seizure of armor and weapons cannot be counted at the moment."

"Yes." Zhu Ayao nodded, "We must make every effort to arrange for the injured soldiers, and the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle should also be found as much as possible and properly placed."

"I understand."

Zhu Aona then asked: "What are the post-war statistics on Admiral Hong's side?"

The red lady's voice came from the intercom, "Yesterday our army defeated Zhang Yingxiang on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Wu Xueli's troops totaled more than 60,000 troops. More than 5,000 people were killed on the spot, and 16,000 were captured on the spot.

many.

Twenty-three of our troops were killed and 173 wounded.

As for the capture of Jiangxia City, only Huniu fired a shot and killed Huang Shu, the former Huguang patrol censor, and no fighting broke out later.

Those who surrendered in Jiangxia City were mainly Zuo Liangyu’s personal barracks and the remnants of Zhang Yingxiang and Wu Xueli, totaling more than 50,000 people."

Compared with the battle losses of the navy, the battle losses of the elite soldiers of the three towns led by the Red Lady were less. Compared with the result of the battle, it can be said to be an absolute victory.

After a pause, the red lady continued: "In addition to the seizure of a lot of armor, weapons and other battlefield military supplies in this battle, the biggest seizure was the money, grain and other supplies accumulated by the left army in Jiangxia City.

Although our people have not yet made detailed statistics, according to the relevant accounts of the Zuo Army, Jiangxia City has more than 500,000 dan of grain in stock, 1.7 million taels of silver, and more than 30,000 taels of gold.

In addition, there are also many stocks of silk, hemp, tea, salt, iron and other materials.
