The officials present knew that Wu Shigong must have pointed something, and this point was still directed at a certain official or military attaché, so they were silent, and no one wanted to do this offending thing.

But the scene couldn't go on so coldly, and only Old Lady Hou came forward, he coughed and said to Wu Shigong: "Long respect! Be careful! Old lady Hou reminded Wu Shigong not to say anything that would affect the unity of officialdom.

And at this time, the most uneasy in my heart was Yu Zilian, who was sitting at the bottom. As soon as he arrived in Fucheng with Yao Liang's militia, he heard that his county town was besieged and attacked by a large army of peasant rebels, so Yu Zilian suddenly knew that something was wrong.

And after Yao Liang learned about it, he also begged to take his militia back to Ningling County for rescue. Of course, it is certainly impossible for the city of Guide, which is trapped by the army, to let go of this strong force.

But in other places, it's good to say, Yu Zilian is the magistrate of Ningling County! As long as the county seat is lost, and he leaves the county seat before the peasant rebel army arrives, even if he has merit in rescuing the city, he will also be responsible for losing the land if it is converted!

So Yu Zilian has been scared for several days. Later, when he heard that the Runing Army was desperately defending the county seat, Yu Zilian's heart was as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, with any taste of sweet, sour, bitter and spicy. I really don't know how to thank Wu Shigong's Ru Ningjun? still keeps a distance from Wu Shigong, the enemy.

But now that Yu Zilian heard Wu Shigong's Xingshi questioning again, he suddenly fidgeted, for fear that Wu Shigong would turn his anger on himself. And at this time, if in order to appease Wu Shigong's anger, it is likely that his small magistrate will be abandoned. So now he can't help but tremble a little all over his body.

But Yu Zilian didn't expect that Wu Shigong was not interested in asking Yu Zilian, a small magistrate, he had always liked to make things bigger. Otherwise, Wu Shigong would not have raised such a topic on this occasion at all.

"Taigong! The younger generation has always been open-mouthed. So some words are not spit out and unhappy. The Shaanxi bandits are indeed powerful, and the support that can enter our Henan is 500,000 or 600,000. Relying on our officials and troops in Henan, it is very possible to exterminate or drive away the Shaanxi bandits, but it is very possible to keep key cities and restrict the activities of the Shaanxi bandits. ”

"Originally, the younger generation also wanted to sweep the snow in front of the door, and Commander Zhao and General Li should cooperate to defend the south, but the governor had thirteen gold medals, and sent Senator Zhou to urge him, and the younger generation must lead the Runing army north to fight the thieves with the governor."

When he said this, Zhou Junwu, who thought he had nothing to do, suddenly heard that Wu Shigong was going to point the finger at Henan Governor Xuan Mo. He stood up and tried to argue. But the old lady Hou and all the officials present pointed their eyes at him, so that Zhou Junwu swallowed what he wanted to argue after he slumbled his mouth.

Wu Shigong continued: "Take the initiative to meet the thief, whether you win or lose, at least you are loyal and brave to the country. The younger generations were also moved by the righteousness of the governor. Ignoring the strong opposition of the Lord of Runing Mansion and other officials, he led the main force of the Runing Army to the north to meet the thieves. Let's be honest. At this time, Runing Mansion was just an empty land. As soon as the Shaanxi bandits appeared, the younger generations would give up Runan. ”

"Of course, for the sake of the overall situation of Henan's banditry, the younger generation is willing to sacrifice his Runing Mansion. But halfway through, he encountered 300,000 Shaanxi bandits in Ruzhou, but what about the joint thieves promised by the governor? What about the Henan official army he led? Nothing! That's it! The governor wants to keep Luoyang and Kaifeng. We have to give up these places in our south. But you are the governor of Henan! Can't you send someone to tell us the news about the Runing Army? ”

"Good! You are a noble person and forget things! Let's meet the thieves alone with our Runing Army. Although our Runing army can't eat the food and salary of the imperial court, we are still willing to be loyal to the emperor. ”

"But our Runing Army is only in the early 10,000s! Facing more than 300,000 Shaanxi bandits! His sons fought hard and finally trapped the 300,000 Shaanxi bandits. To put it mildly, just give the juniors another month. Our Runing Army can leave at least half of the Shaanxi bandits behind. But what did the younger generation hear at this time? The Shaanxi bandits from the other two roads came to us and returned to Defu. ”

"The younger generation can only give up the Shaanxi bandits and rush to help. But you know what? How rare is this opportunity to exterminate the Shaanxi bandits? That's really a return to the mountain! Let the tiger go back to the mountain! ”

Although it was a great pity, in order to protect the territory, the Runing Army walked more than 800 miles on the snow road to return to Germany for rescue. Originally, the younger generation arranged heavy troops in Ningling County, as long as the Zuo General Soldier guarding the Yellow River prevented the thieves from crossing the river, and waited until the Runing army arrived, what happened to Guide Mansion was also a thrilling situation. ”

But what was the result? The left general soldier was afraid of the enemy like a tiger and let the thieves cross the river. The troubled waters moved eastward and let the thieves enter us and return to Germany. The heavy troops guarding Ningling County had to be transferred to Fucheng, which almost caused the loss of Ningling County and cut off the rescue road of our Runing Army. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Shigong glanced at Yu Zilian intentionally or unintentionally, which made Yu Zilian feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. Fortunately, Wu Shigong didn't name him on this occasion, so after mentioning it, he continued.

"Now that the Guide Mansion is so dilapidated, are your parents so indifferent? I hope that all of you will repair your books in the court with your late students, and you will definitely go to the court to argue with the governor and the general soldier Zuo! ”

Those officials all understood that Wu Shigong was going to drag them, the officials of the Guide Mansion, to impeach Xuan Mo and Zuo Liangyu together. But none of the people here are the first brothers in the officialdom, and the things on this battlefield were originally justified by the public, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable.

As long as Xuan Mo and Zuo Liangyu have a skillful and eloquent staff by their side, and they can speak and even make up a few decent reasons, the court can't tell who is right and who is wrong, and Zuihou is basically caught in a lawsuit.

For example, Xuan Mo and Zuo Liangyu insisted that only 100,000 peasant rebels went south to Nanyang and Guide, and the remaining 400,000 or 500,000 attacked Luoyang and Kaifeng, which were resisted by Xuan Mo and Zuo Liangyu.

So, can Emperor Chongzhen, who is far away in the capital, distinguish between the true and the important ministers in the court? Isn't it necessary to send a minister down to let Henan's official army and peasant rebel army return to the same place and re-enact it?

Therefore, in order to protect themselves, it is okay for those officials who return to the Defu to talk to the court about their difficulties and complain about their hardships, but they tear their faces with Governor Xuan Mo and Zuo Liangyu, the chief soldier, to impeach? Forget it. Therefore, none of these officials are willing to take the lead in the first place. Of course, they didn't want to offend Wu Shigong now, so they all remained silent.

And Wu Shigong actually understands in his heart that those officials are unlikely to be impeached, even if they are really impeached, it will not play a big role. But Wu Shigong still has to say this here. In addition to some reasons for exporting evil spirits, the main reason is to give an explanation to those local gentry in Guide Province!
