"Your Majesty, you must send troops to quell the bandits!"

Wei Qing hesitated for a moment, puzzled, "Why are there military bandits?"

Shen Yunfan reminded: "Your Majesty, more than 7,000 people were annihilated in the army of the He thief before, and there are still more than 2,000 people left, and it is likely that they have fled to Jiaozhou as bandits."

Wei Qing nodded.

At this moment, Xu Kailin below suddenly stood up and volunteered: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to personally lead troops to Jiaozhou to quell the bandits!"

"Right Prime Minister, what courage!" Someone next to him complimented him.

"Whereever, wherever, it's just the duty of a minister!" Xu Kailin smiled.

There were a lot of compliments all around, after all, everyone didn't want to go to Jiaozhou to take risks, so naturally they wanted the emperor to choose this volunteer Xu Kailin.

But at this moment, Shen Yunfan spoke: "Lord Xu, after all, you have never been to the battlefield, and it is too risky to go to Jiaozhou. I think I'd better take someone with me."

Xu Kailin's face sank, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to refute.

After listening to this, the eyes of the hundred officials were a little exciting.

"Jiaozhou is not a good place, the head snake is in charge, this kid still dares to rush to go?"

"It seems that he has made great achievements, and he wants to go further, I guess he still thinks that Jiaozhou is very safe." Several people thought to themselves.

Wei Qing naturally did not hesitate, and directly criticized Shen Yunfan as the Qin Mission, and personally led 3,000 Imperial Forest troops to Jiaozhou to quell the bandits.

Hearing this, the Jiaozhou envoy below looked at Shen Yunfan, and his expression was obviously a little reluctant. However, he didn't dare to question the emperor's decision, so he could only bow his head and agree.

After the morning dynasty ended and everyone left, Shen Yunfan muttered, "That old thing, it's clever again."

"What is his purpose?"

Shen Yunfan replied: "Jiaozhou, as an important grain production area, is nominally controlled by Taishou, but in fact, the power is in the hands of Xu Kailin, the head of the household department. His family is so rich, it is inseparable from Jiaozhou."

"He took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Jiaozhou to quell the bandits, firstly, he wanted to consolidate his power in Jiaozhou, and secondly, he wanted to take this opportunity to grasp some military power. This old fox's calculations are very many."

Wei Qing nodded thoughtfully, "Fortunately, you can see it."

"Well, this time I went to Jiaozhou to level the bandits, and by the way, I checked the officials there and got rid of Xu Kailin's people. When Jiaozhou returns to us, there is no need to beg Xu Kailin for money."

"Be careful."

"Don't worry, the emperor is ready to reward, wait for me to triumph." Shen Yunfan smiled.

"You're not serious!" Wei Qing's face turned red.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Shen Yunfan personally led 3,000 imperial forest troops and set off for Jiaozhou.

On the way, Xie Min, the envoy of Jiaozhou, looked thoughtful. When it was time for the lunch break, he came to Shen Yunfan's side and asked, "Lord Qincha, have you ever had the experience of leading troops to fight?"

Looking at his tangled appearance, Shen Yunfan smiled, "What if you don't?"

"If not, can you persuade Your Majesty to change someone to Jiaozhou? Those bandits in Jiaozhou are extremely fierce." Xie Min frowned, obviously having some doubts about Shen Yunfan.

As a native of Jiaozhou, he didn't know Shen Yunfan's deeds a few days ago. In his eyes, this guy is so young, I'm afraid he is the son of a noble family in the capital.

He ran to the capital for a day and a night to ask for help, because he wanted to ask a capable person to help, not a yellow-haired boy who was outside the gold.

Even if this kind of person goes to Jiaozhou, I'm afraid he won't be able to solve the bandits!

Being stared at with suspicion, Shen Yunfan was not angry, but said, "When the time comes, you just do your best to cooperate with my work, and you don't have to think too much."

Xie Min still wanted to speak, but a general in black armor and blue clothes suddenly walked next to him.

This person is Di Xingchang, the general of the Imperial Forest Army, and he is also the leader of the 3,000 Royal Forest Army. He walked over at this time, staring at Shen Yunfan with disdain in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Lord Xie, with me, it won't be a problem to kill a few bandits. I only hope that Lord Xie will protect Lord Qincha when the time comes, but don't let him get hurt."

Hearing a little sarcasm in this tone, Shen Yunfan frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything, I hope that Lord Qincha will not interfere in too much military affairs, so as not to delay the war." Di Xingchang snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Shen Yunfan said in his heart that he didn't provoke him, why was this thing so hostile to him?

On closer thought, he understood.

The Imperial Forest Army is an army that obeys the Cao family, and Shen Yunfan, a person with a foreign surname, inexplicably became the secretary of the military department and became the boss who came from the airborne, which naturally made many Royal Forest soldiers unhappy.

Even if Cao Zhi convinces Shen Yunfan, the generals and soldiers under him may not be convinced.

Di Xingchang is an old subordinate of the Cao family, no wonder he is so hostile.

Shen Yunfan couldn't help it, and the group marched all the way to the boundary of Jiaozhou in such an atmosphere.

Jiaozhou's terrain is mostly plains, and there are many fertile fields, no wonder it will become the granary of the Southern Wei Dynasty. Moreover, here is the sea in the southeast, the capital of the Southern Wei Dynasty in the north, and the mountains and forests in the southwest.

Such a safe area, like the historical land of Bashu, is very suitable as a large rear.

However, before the group arrived in Jiaozhou City, they encountered a robbery.

At that time, he was on the march when the sound of rushing and killing suddenly sounded next to him. Everyone turned their heads to look and saw more than 100 people coming out of the mountains and forests.

These people were dressed like savages, with various patterns painted on their faces and bodies, and each one with a large knife in his hand, and ran as fast as he could.

The peasants working in the fields were startled and turned to run.

The "wild people" also chased after them, and went straight to the village not far away.

Shen Yunfan frowned and instructed, "Spread out to meet the enemy and catch them!"

Di Xingchang also ignored Shen Yunfan's command, waved his hand and said, "Damn, the bandits dare to commit murder in front of us, brothers, give me a reward of ten taels of silver for killing one!"

When the Imperial Guards heard this, they rushed forward in a swarm.

However, the other side is not a fool either. Seeing so many troops running inexplicably on the official road, their faces changed, and they directly turned around and went back to the mountains and forests.

A group of royal guards, you hug me and squeeze. The last one was not caught, and I watched those people disappear into the mountains and forests.

"I've said it all, you have to spread out to meet the enemy, what is the difference between huddling together and a herd of pigs? Give people a walk." Shen Yunfan said coldly.

Di Xingchang looked embarrassed and angry, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only change the topic and ask, "Lord Xie, are these the bandits who are haunting Jiaozhou?"
