Daqian, the atmosphere at today's court meeting was very tense, and the usual whispers of the courtiers were gone, and they stood up straight one by one.

When Li Feng and the Queen Mother walked in, the atmosphere suddenly reached a critical point, as if it could explode at any time.

Li Feng sat on the dragon chair, and the courtiers shouted long live.

"If there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat. Cao Zhengchun shouted.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty avenges your minister. ”

As soon as Cao Zhengchun's words fell, the goatee Yu Shi Fan Wenzhong fell to his knees crying, and cried after saying a word.

"What kind of system is crying and crying on the main hall, what is it? The Queen Mother scolded.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, let the ministers explain at this time. At this time, Shang Shuma of the military department also came out of the ranks

"Recently, there was a mountain bandit in Liangzhou, captured the city, robbed and plundered, all evil did not do, its god is haunting, since the date of the Zhiyang County was broken more than a month, continue to break the county six in a row, after the city will be slaughtered by the family in the city, but three days ago, it sent elite subordinates, mixed into the Wuwei County, sneak attack at night, Wuwei County was broken, the city and the first seven counties are generally the same, the county guard and the subordinate officials, the family were slaughtered. ”

And Fan Yushi's family is in the county town of Wuwei. ”

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, you must exterminate that bandit and avenge my officials and families at all levels in Wuwei County. "Goatee Yu Shi Fan Wenzhong is a burst of crying.

"Don't cry, it's been a month since such a big thing happened, why are you only reporting it now, if they don't attack Wuwei County, do you plan to keep it hidden. The Queen Mother said with a rare anger.

The ministers didn't dare to say a word, quiet as a cicada.

"Speak"

"Empress Dowager, this matter has happened, and it is useless to pursue it, now we should discuss how to remedy it, after all, if they continue to plunder, the livelihood of Liangzhou will be wasted. ”

Zhao Xu, the left minister, said in a calm tone, without eagerness or anger. After all, it happened in Liangzhou instead of Youzhou, and he just had to do what he had to do.

"Then the left minister said how to deal with the aftermath. ”

Shangshu Malin of the Ministry of War hurriedly came out of the ranks, and at this time, the most anxious person in the entire hall was him, and he quickly answered when he heard the Queen Mother's inquiry.

"Empress Dowager, according to the information we have obtained, the number of this group of mountain bandits is about 50,000, and its elite is not inferior to the border army, or even surpassed, after all, most of their equipment is captured by the county soldiers, but their combat power is not weak at all. ”

"The leader of the person is named Xiong Kuohai, and his subordinates call him the master of Xiong Village, this person is strong, and there have been six masters of the Zhu State Border before and after the death of his hands, and his subordinates and cottages have not yet been identified. ”

"If you want to destroy this man, you need a strong man to lead the army, and the army must not be weak. ”

"Then let the two armies of Pingxi and Zhenxi go out to exterminate them. The Queen Mother said.

"Queen Mother, the Xia Kingdom has had frequent military movements recently, and the two armies have not been able to draw out a large number of troops, and a small number of troops cannot exterminate this mountain bandit at all. Zhao Xu took over.

"According to the intelligence, Xia Guo saw that my Liangzhou was in turmoil, and had begun to gather troops, if the two armies were mobilized at this time, Xia Guo would take advantage of the situation to enter, and then Liangzhou would be the end of life. ”

"Therefore, this crackdown on bandits must also be thunderous and quickly pacified, otherwise the barbarians of Xia Kingdom will really not be able to sit still. ”

"Then leave this matter to Ma Shangshu, after all, the Ma family has been operating in Liangzhou for a long time, and it is deep-rooted, and it is not easy for the mountain bandits. Taiwei Wen said.

If the Ma family can really simply exterminate Xiong Kuohai, then Ma Lin will not mention this matter in the court at all today, first, he can't find Xiong Kuohai's lair, and he can't find out the news, as far as Xiong Kuohai's strength is revealed, even if the Ma family can calm down, both sides will lose, and it is under the premise that Xiong Kuohai has no hidden strength, so the Ma family will think of borrowing a knife to kill people, so they will discuss it in the court, and prepare chips, so that the Ma family will not have a loss.

Wen Zheng can't think of this, no. It's just that the events of the past few days were all because of the daughter of the Ma family, although there was also Li Feng's matter, but he couldn't trouble Li Feng, so he directly let Ma Lin not come to the stage at this time.

Ma Lin was not angry when he heard it, as the representative of the Ma family in the court, this city government did exist. Smiled and said:

"What the captain said is not bad, but this group of mountain bandits is really not something that can be dealt with by the Ma family alone, and besides, I have a lot of talented people and a strong military, so I only need to send a general and tens of thousands of elite soldiers to pacify this group of mountain bandits, which is comparable to a Ma family in Liangzhou. ”

"That's right, that's what your Ma family is all about. ”

Wen Zheng sneered.

Marin was not annoyed, but continued:

"Chen Dou has the courage to recommend a person to lead the troops to exterminate this mountain bandit. ”

"Who does Ma Shangshu want to recommend?" asked the Queen Mother.

"The minister recommended the former deputy commander of the forbidden army, and now the general of Liangzhou counterinsurgency, Gao Shun. ”

The ministers whispered, they didn't expect Ma Lin to recommend Gao Shun, and there was a reason why he recommended Gao Shun.

During this time, Lu Renjia has been pressed and beaten by Gao Shun, and they have also supported, but the result is the same. And they also suspected that Gao Shun had a relationship with Xiong Kuohai, and Gao Shun's army had enough food and grass, but they didn't know where it came from. But because there was no evidence, the spies sent out were all in the first district and did not return.

Send Gao Shun to suppress the bandits, and you can know whether they have any contact or not.

"The counterinsurgency general Gao Shun is in Liangzhou at this time, and he can save time on the march by suppressing the bandits, and General Gao Shun is strong, so it is best to deal with Xiong Kuohai. ”

"Gao Shun can't do it, Gao Shun has recently forced Lu Renjia into a desperate situation, give up at this time, and let the tiger return to the mountain. Taiwei Wen said.

After all, Gao Shun came out of the forbidden army, so Wen Zheng still helped Gao Shun.

"Then the lieutenant has a suitable candidate. Marin said.

"Yes, Wang Zhipeng, the commander of the Zhenbei Army, is a strong person, if he is allowed to lead the Zhenbei Army south to Liangzhou, then the chaos of the bandits can be solved immediately. ”

"The Zhenbei army can't move, the grassland is being fought recently, in case it puts down its scimitar and comes to me, it will be a disaster greater than the invasion of the Xia Kingdom. Zhao Xu sighed and said.

"Gao Shun can't move, the Zhenbei Army can't move, and the beasts and sea beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range and the sea often riot, so this time the bandits are none other than Ma Shangshu. The Queen Mother said calmly.

The last time the forbidden army was sent to the expedition, there was a rebellion and destroyed the people's livelihood in Liangzhou, so the imperial court had to take care of it, and this time Xiong Kuohai really only killed the people of the family, and only plundered property. It didn't hurt ordinary people, so the Queen Mother was not in a hurry. Anyway, in the end, it was the Ma family that suffered the most, not the imperial court.
