Three hundred soldiers of the forward battalion.

Captain Lu, we have to come to you today. The soldiers below are going to suffocate, and they are clamoring every day for us to ask when you will leave.

At this moment, they had already eaten dinner, and it should have been time for them to study or rest in the tent, but Captain Lu was reading a book in his room, but he was approached by ten captains.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiaohu said so. The captains all knew that Xiaohu of the first army said that it was the safest, and the other captains said that it might make Captain Lu unhappy.

Sure enough, after Xiaohu finished speaking, Captain Lu didn't get angry and scolded them, just nodded, and then said, "Do the soldiers all have this opinion?

Xiaohu said: "That's right, the soldiers pester us army commanders every day, at first we could coax them to wait a few more days, but now more than half a month has passed, and we really can't hold it back..."

Captain Lu paced a few steps left and right with his hands behind his back, and said after a while: "Okay, I know, you go back and tell the soldiers, don't worry, you will be able to set off soon, let them recuperate in the past few days, and when the time comes, on the battlefield, there is no one who is not in good spirits, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you!"

All the captains felt the smell of the mobilization order in front of the station, which was the last time the captains had spoken before countless battles in the past.

Every time the lieutenant spoke, it was the feeling that the big war was about to begin.

"How is the public opinion of the people now?" At the meeting, Chen Letian asked, Fengshan Liu Daming should be better than Houdu.

Feng Shan said: "Dongjia, according to the reports of the Cao Gang brothers in various cities in Shudi, all the people in Shu are now very shocked that the adults have summoned these more than 1,000 accused officials to Chengdu. The people feel that the adults are the lords of the blue sky and the saviors of the people of Shudi, and the people in many places celebrate with firecrackers after the guilty officials leave the place. All the people are praising His Majesty as a wise monarch through the ages, and praising the Dong family as a great Qing official. ”

Chen Letian said: "It's not good to praise me, but it's right to praise Your Majesty." And those imperial historians should also boast a lot. ”

Feng Shan said: "The owner is really prescient, I listened to the Cao Gang brothers from the capital, these ten Yushi adults sent down by the Yushitai are now in the Yushitai's reputation is also rising, after this incident, these adults may be able to be promoted to the top in the Yushitai." ”

Chen Letian nodded, which was expected. It is true that these officials sent down by Yushitai are to better assist him Chen Letian to complete things better, but these people are impeccable at least in Chen Letian's opinion in terms of conduct and morality, and it is these people that Yushitai will hand over in the future, as long as the Great Song Dynasty wants to continue to be strong, it must be so. So even if Chen Letian didn't know Lord Zhongcheng in the imperial history, he could also know that these people who were destined to be many times smarter than him Chen Letian were definitely carefully selected and deliberately cultivated. If these people are not allowed to take the throne, then it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to be so powerful.

Chen Letian asked the people of Fengshan again, what do they think? Do you still have complaints?

Liu Daming took over the conversation, there were few complaints, and now he basically said that His Majesty was good, the court was good, and the owner was good. I asked Feng Shan to do a survey, and I took fifty samples from each city among the upper, middle, and lower levels of the people in each city. In the end, it was concluded that ninety percent of the people complained about the Shu Palace and the court from the beginning, to not talking about the Shu Palace, but only saying that the court was good. There are also a percent of the people who said that although everything seems to be fine now, what should happen to the Yushi adults as soon as they leave Shudi, there will definitely not be much change, and the best situation is that it will be better in three or five years, and then it will go back to the ashes. Free Chinese

Chen Letian said with a smile that these people understand that people are smart people and see the essence of things, and their predictions are very right.

Seeing Liu Daming and Feng Shan puzzled, Chen Letian knew what they were thinking, they must be thinking, since this is the case, why are you still so happy now, you work so hard, and it will be such a result in the end, so what is the point of all this you have paid?

Chen Letian continued: "But don't worry, of course I won't let things turn out like this, you still don't have to worry about me doing things, not to mention that I will definitely be able to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, at least it will make a big difference in Shudi." As for what the hell it is, I'll have to keep it a little mystery, just look at it, and you'll know by the end. ”

Early in the morning of the third day, Chen Letian came to the Prime Minister's Imperial History Yamen and immediately held a meeting.

At the meeting, he decided to let the soldiers of the forward battalion set off into the mountains of Shu to suppress the bandits the next day.

The adults of the imperial history were not at ease, but Chen Letian came up with his own plan.

While suppressing the bandits, negotiate with these officials and ask them to explain all the things that have colluded with the bandits, otherwise once the bandits' dens are destroyed and the connections are found out from the bandits' dens, they will be killed.

Zhang Yushi said, is this okay?

Chen Letian said that if it works, we have to try it first, the suppression of bandits is a deterrent to these officials, and it is also a deterrent to all officials, and at the same time, the interrogation of officials is also a deterrent to bandits. Bandits and officials should have been two forces that were mortal enemies, but there must have been inextricable collusion in Shudi, and the number of bandit cases in Cao County, Bazhong City, may not be so big in other places, but there must be a little bit of relationship. So we are killing two birds with one stone by killing two birds with one stone at the same time.

As soon as he said this, the imperial historians agreed, praising the prime minister for still being full of scheming.

Before the meeting was over, Captain Lu took the order and left first.

Back in the battalion, Captain Lu immediately summoned ten army commanders to tell everyone the news. The captains were very happy, and they congratulated each other with their arms. Captain Lu said: Don't be so happy, this is a war, we will set off tomorrow, and we must be happy and happy when we come back. immediately took out the map, re-explained the plan that had been made a long time ago, and asked Chen Letian to explain the combat strategy again.

It took an hour for everything to be finalized and the time for tomorrow's departure was set.

The captains returned to their respective camps and told the brothers the news.

Suddenly, bursts of cheers came from this courtyard, and even Chen Letian and the others who were in a meeting heard it.

The imperial historians didn't know what was going on, and Chen Letian said with a smile: "The soldiers of the forward battalion are too excited to hear the news of tomorrow's troops, please forgive them for being too young like me." ”
