Although Du Guozhong lowered his head, he obviously felt that the two eyes shot from above were dripping with cold sweat. I secretly complained in my heart, the defenders of the western Xinjiang are the Wen family army led by the Marquis Wen of Pingxi, although Marquis Wen has been old in the past two years, and like Yang Qingshan, he is raised in the capital, but the commander of the garrison, Wen Boyu, is the son of Marquis Wen, the brother of the emperor's favorite concubine De Guifei Wen, is the uncle good? The military salary that was robbed this time was sent to Miao Jiang in the south, is this commander an inconspicuous one? That's the brother-in-law of the emperor today, is Zhenguo Gong Lian Kang okay! He couldn't stop slandering in his heart: Your brother-in-law has gone to Miaojiang, the grandfather of the country! How many of these people in the military department are still at home? He quietly glanced at Yang Qingshan again, hey, this old marquis is older, a handful of old people, the eldest son died in battle, the younger son is still guarding the frontier in the northwest, the eldest grandson Yang Jiulin is already twenty-one years old, this has been ten years since the military qualifications, people have been cultivated by Yang Qingshan since childhood, and they were thrown into the military camp at the age of eleven.

Seeing that Du Guozhong was silent, Emperor Huiwen was angry in his heart and hummed: "Du Aiqing, what good plan do you have?" ”

Du Guozhong almost knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "The emperor is angry, there have been constant wars in northern and western Xinjiang over the years...... Military Department ...... There is no good general in command for the time being. ”

Seeing that Emperor Huiwen's face turned black into the bottom of the pot, the emperor's eldest son, Wei Chong, coughed lightly and said softly: "Father, what Du Shangshu said is also the truth, the military department will be more handsome and less handsome, and there is a lack of commanders. "Wei Chong is now twenty-four years old, since he was beaten by Wei Peng, Emperor Huiwen let him start walking in various departments and contact the senior members of the court, after all, this is the eldest son, and he is also known as a virtuous person, and he is most likely to establish a prince, which will let him lead the errand of the military department, and also have the intention of letting him have more experience.

Emperor Huiwen frowned, those who can lead the troops are called generals; Those who can be generals are also handsome; This can be the general of the court is indeed only those few people, and Wen and Yang are both over sixty, not to mention that such characters go to suppress bandits, there is no one in the court to laugh at them. Other handsome people are all sitting at the border and will not return to Beijing easily.

Wei Chong said again: "Father, there is a drought this spring, and now the south is flooded, the crops are out of production, and the southwest Miaojiang has taken the opportunity to make chaos. ”

The head of the household Shangshu Jin Su also played: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness said is very true, this year's natural disasters have continued, the livelihood of the people has been worried, although the war in northern Xinjiang is a little slowdown, but after all, it is a big trouble, and now the southwest rebellion has cost a lot of money and food, and it is indeed not suitable to raise troops." ”

Lin Yidao: "This group of bandits has been defeated by the surrounding state capitals many times to suppress the bandit officers and soldiers, although there are only less than 10,000 people, but they are so good at fighting, if you want to exterminate, you need to mobilize soldiers and horses, it is indeed a worry of labor and loss of money." ”

Several other people in the hall also echoed, the second prince Wei Xiang frowned, and didn't say anything, among the several princes, he was responsible for the errand of the household department, and the third prince was responsible for the errand of the Ministry of Industry.

Chen Yemin said: "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, the current border war is the time to employ people, since these bandits are brave, why not send people to recruit peace for the imperial court to drive?" ”

Emperor Huiwen's anger has been a little smaller, and he has calmed down, thinking about it, his eyes are aimed at Du Guozhong again, Du Guozhong has the heart to hit the wall, this fight depends on himself, how can Zhao'an also look at himself? Shouldn't this be what the ministers do?

The cold sweat on his forehead fell into Wei Chong's eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curvature. Now Emperor Huiwen's health is not as good as in previous years, and he is also a person who is nearly fifty years old, and it is even more obvious in the past two years, when the emperor is really hard work, right now, these younger brothers are staring at the position of the crown prince, and now is the time for the princes to accumulate merits.

Wei Xiang, the second prince, who had not spoken, opened his mouth and said: "Father, the sons agree with Chen Ge Lao Zhao'an, these people are also the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, maybe they also have other hidden secrets, so they became bandits, and now is a good time to accumulate military merits, why not give people an identity and let them serve the country?" ”

Wei Chong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then said with a smile: "What the second emperor's brother said is very true, if you can recruit An, it is also very good, and the son is willing to share the worries of his father." ”

Wei Xiang glanced at him, and a trace of disdain flashed in his heart: Pretend! Really good at pretending! The dignified eldest son personally recruited for some thieves and grass coars? Hehe, I really don't know how powerful these people are? Still sure you can do it? Aren't you afraid of embarrassing people and losing a big one?

Du Guozhong said respectfully: "The emperor doesn't know, these bandits are not only brave, well-trained, offensive and defensive, but also have amazing weapons, I don't know what bow and crossbow they used, they can shoot several branches in a row, and ordinary rattan shields can shoot through ......."

Everyone was slightly stunned, there are two kinds of bows and crossbows used in the army, although the crossbow arrows are accurate, the role of the crossbow is far less than the bow in terms of convenience alone. Therefore, when the two armies faced each other, it was common to use a bow instead of a crossbow, but for some reason the volcanic thief actually used a crossbow and could fire in bursts. Everyone in the study was silent.

Yang Qingshan frowned, well-trained? Does it have something to do with people in the military? Otherwise, how could ordinary bandits have such ability?

Chen Yemin suddenly whispered: "The emperor heard that Xuan Shizi is well-read and strong, and he also has a lot of research on weapons, so it is better to ...... Xuanlai."

Emperor Huiwen was slightly stunned, he couldn't imagine that this kid was still good at this. This kid has always been stubborn, relying on his Lao Tzu King Xuan is the emperor's younger brother, relying on the queen mother and his own favor, arrogant and domineering in the capital, almost becoming a hegemon, the imperial history impeachment does not know how many times, since that year the four princes were beaten, King Xuan threw him to the north in a fit of anger. stayed for seven or eight years, and he also saved a lot of military exploits.

However, after these years of training, his temperament has converged a lot, and he no longer fights and fights dogs all day long. Back then, King Xuan had the merit of supporting the establishment, but now he is just a prince of peace, ignoring the government and politics, and he does not want the prince to participate too much, who expected that after returning to Beijing, he accidentally made a splash in the autumn hunt, and entered the eyes of the emperor, and was recruited into Jin Wuwei, probably suffering a lot in the army, and the whole person became a little indifferent, rejecting the momentum of thousands of miles away all day long, and even the palace banquet had a dead face. The emperor did not restrain him, and let him enter the palace on duty for three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, since he didn't even care about the emperor, Jin Wuwei commanded He Teng to be more happy to be a favor, and he would not care. But the gold shines everywhere, and the few appearances that made him credit again, and he was promoted to the deputy commander, and he mastered Emperor Huiwen's Criminal Prison Division, which was even more important, a proper henchman of Emperor Huiwen.

Emperor Huiwen pondered for a moment and waved his hand, making people announce that Wei Peng, the prince of the king, had entered the palace.
