Chapter 41: The Situation of the Rebellion
Liang Taishou gently knocked on the table, making a crisp echo, and the officials present sat quietly, not daring to make the slightest move, for fear of interrupting Taishou.
"Captain Chen, how much combat power can this group of mud-legged people have! I'm sure you'll be able to put down the rebellion soon. The official is concerned that there is actually a rebellion in the quarry! At present, the whereabouts of this group of prisoners are unknown. ”
"Two battalions of 1,000 officers and soldiers have been wiped out on the quarry's side, and they have also suffered heavy losses! A team of scouts has been sent to search for the whereabouts of the prisoners, who are hiding in the mountains and dense forests, and it is impossible to find their exact location and therefore their hiding place. ”
"Humph! They are short of food and clothing, and they will not be able to hide for long before they come out. The officer gives you ten days, and if you can find this group, he will send heavy troops to exterminate the fugitives from the quarry first. Otherwise, ten days later, troops will be sent to Pingcheng County to quell the rebellion and rebels. Liang Taishou immediately made a decision.
Chen Duwei thought for a moment and felt that the arrangement was very reasonable, so he agreed.
Liang Taishou then turned to supervise the imperial history Shidian, and said respectfully: "Shi Yushi, I don't know what instructions the prime minister has?" ”
The officials who supervised the imperial history and were sent to the local area to monitor the Taishou by the main imperial court had the right to play secretly, which was equivalent to the eyes and ears of the imperial court. Mutual containment and supervision are conducive to the rule of the empire.
Prime Minister Wei controls the power of the center of the imperial court, and I heard that he still has an unclear relationship with the current queen mother, and her power is as powerful as the sky.
The officials at the scene all knew that Prime Minister Wei was the backer of Liang Taishouba, even if there was a rebellion in the mansion now, he would be punished a few times at most, and then he would be arranged to serve elsewhere. Liang Taishou didn't care about his superior, the county guard of Ansan County, and even suppressed the news of the rebellion and did not allow the county guard to be notified.
The superintendent Yu Shi Shidian replied: "Prime Minister, let you quell the rebellion as soon as possible, and urge the next batch of strange stones to be transported to Kyoto as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, please inform the Prime Minister, and the lower official will arrange it immediately. There is a history of Lao Yu. ”
"You're welcome, Lord Taishou"
"Yes, yes." The two bowed to each other, looked at each other and laughed.
At this moment, a guard rushed in from outside the door.
Liang Taishou was a little annoyed, this guard was so ignorant of the rules, and he was about to get angry and reprimand.
"Report! There is an urgent report from the county order of Xinyi County, and 100,000 displaced people are attacking the county. ”
"What!" Liang Taishou and the rest of the officials were taken aback and couldn't believe it.
"Tell me more clearly." Liang Taishou stood up and said sharply.
"There is a group of nearly 1,000 people fully armed, killing and dispersing the officials and troops blocking the displaced people, and the displaced people, under the command of this group of people, have gathered nearly 100,000 displaced people, and are attacking Xinyi County, and the county order hopes that Taishou will send troops to rescue as soon as possible."
"Do you know who the thief is?" Chen Duwei felt that things were not good, it wouldn't be those people.
"The thief leader is a one-armed middle-aged man, and the thief calls him General Zhang."
"Zhang Wuwu!" Liang Taishou and Chen Duwei glanced at each other, and from the other party's eyes, they saw the shock, and immediately understood that the matter had become serious.
"Duwei Chen, in case this anti-thief conquers Xinyi County, it will be a huge threat to Nanyang City, even more than the anti-thief in Pingcheng County, you are the highest military general here, you have to think of a way as soon as possible."
Zhang Wuwu is a veteran general on the battlefield, and he has a reputation in the empire, but he is not such an easy figure to deal with. Liang Taishou suddenly felt tricky and a little overwhelmed.
"What the lord said is very true, Xinyi County is only a day's journey from the capital city, and it will be very important if it falls, and it is necessary to send troops to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible. Zhang Wuwu is also an imperial general, a brave and good fighter, and he is ashamed to say that he has no confidence to defeat him. But ....." Duwei Chen paused for a moment, looking a little worried.
Liang Taishou waved his hand and said, "Captain Chen, now that the enemy is present, don't worry about it, just say it." ”
"Lord Xie, my subordinates recommended a young warrior Xiao Daocheng, who is brave and brave in the three armies, calm and calm, and wise and wise, and can be called a wise and brave person. As long as you use this person, you will definitely be able to kill Zhang Wuwu. ”
Liang Taishou muttered in a low voice: "Xiao.... Daocheng"
"But in the year of the weak crown, he led 17 cavalry companies to break through the 11 villages of the mountain thieves, killed the first 52 thieves, and destroyed more than 3,000 thieves."
"My lord, this is the person."
Liang Taishou clapped his hands and applauded: "Duwei Chen, with this person here, we don't have to worry about it." This matter will be handed over to you, if you do a good job, this official will definitely report to Prime Minister Wei and give you a great credit. ”
"Your Excellency is polite, the lower official will arrange it." Chen Duwei quickened his pace and left the meeting.
The officials watched Chen Duwei leave the table, and Wei Changshi asked softly: "My lord, what about the thieves in Pingcheng County?" Is it laissez-faire? ”
"The top priority is to quell the rebellion against Zhang Wuwu's gang, this person is a big trouble, as for what kind of strange poor talent, what kind of ability can he have. Notify the county of Si County
