Seeing that Wang Yun was about to suffer, Wang Kuang hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, slow down!" What Guangluxun Ma Chao said is really bullying the elderly! Wang Zhonglang is old, not to mention forcing Wang Zhonglang to fight, but he does not sympathize with the old ministers, which is unpopular; Let's just say that if the Black Mountain thief sees that the court sends an old man as a general, he will also laugh at the fact that there is no one in the court! ”

Before Liu Hong and the Manchu Dynasty could react, Ma Chao walked quickly from Wang Yun's side to Wang Kuang's side, and said, "What Wang Fu Peng said is extremely true, but the minister is indeed not thoughtful!" Wang Zhonglang is indeed not suitable for being sent abroad as a general to conquer thieves. ”

Wang Kuang was a little stunned, because he didn't expect Ma Chao to admit his mistakes so decisively; Fu smiled smugly.

And Ma Chao's words made Wang Kuang unable to laugh anymore: "According to the minister, Wang Fu Peng is the most suitable!" The great general He Gong Dong supervises the military of the world, and the palace Peng serves in the general's mansion, which is the Peng of a government. Presumably, Wang Fu Peng must be proficient in military affairs and well versed in the way of using soldiers, otherwise He Gong would not have reused Wang Fu Peng so much. And the palace is young and strong, if it is a crusade against the Montenegrin thieves, the Montenegrin thieves will see the king's house, and they will be impressed by the power of the palace and turn against him! ”

Wang Kuang raised his head and saw Liu Hong nodding, and immediately panicked, instinctively turning his head to look at He Jin behind him. But He Jin didn't move, still sitting steadily. Wang Kuang knew that He Jin would not be involved at this time, for fear of setting himself on fire, so he had to support himself. He said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Guanglu Xun Ma Chao is definitely not available. Although the minister is a general's office, he has always been a civil servant, and he has never used soldiers at all! ”

Ma Chao is tired of fighting with He Jin's dolls, and he is determined to take a salary. Ma Chao said: "Your Majesty, what Wang Fu Peng said also has some truth. Looking at Wang Fu Peng's meaning, it is recommended that those who lead troops to fight against Black Mountain thieves should have battlefield experience? ”

Wang Kuang, who was still panicked just now, had an idea when he heard this, and he nodded like pounding garlic: "Exactly!" It's better to have a trilogy, and lead your own subordinates to be like an arm commander and use soldiers freely! ”

Ma Chao looked at Wang Kuang with a smile, thinking that Wang Kuang was really good, worthy of being a powerful character in Taishan County in the future, he was forced into a corner, and he could dig a pit for him. Wang Kuang's so-called leading soldiers and having a part is actually an allusion to Ma Chao. If Ma Chao agreed to this without thinking in a hurry, then Wang Kuang could climb up the pole and force Ma Chao to conquer the Black Mountain Thieves.

But how could Ma Chao follow his wishes? Ma Chao nodded, gave Wang Kuang a thumbs up, and praised him: "It is really worthy of being the person who is in charge of the General's Mansion and assists the general, what he says is really insightful!" ”

Wang Kuang listened to Ma Chao's words and laughed.

Ma Chao changed his words and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if the decision is made according to the advice of Wang Fu Peng, then the general He Gong is the most suitable!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention that Liu Hongpo was a little surprised, but the Taifu Yuan Kui, the third prince Cao Song, Ding Gong, and Xu Xiang, who had been closing their eyes and recuperating during the entire court meeting, also became stunned. Among the hundreds of officials, only the person who was secretly watching Ma Chao before, showed an appreciative smile when everyone was stunned.

The party He Jin was full of anger and glared at Ma Chao unabashedly. Ma Chao didn't care, and said endlessly: "The general He Gong once leveled the Yellow Turban and established immortal achievements. But it's a pity that He Gong failed to complete his battle, causing several thieves such as the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Thief, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Thief, and the Runan Yellow Turban Thief to slip through the net. Therefore, it is He Gong's responsibility to exterminate the Black Mountain thieves.

Moreover, the general He Gong's mansion Peng said personally that the conquest of the Black Mountain thieves must be those who have led soldiers and have a tribe. Doesn't He Gong just fit? The minister heard that He Gong had recruited tens of thousands of soldiers in order to exterminate Zhang Jiao before, and there were still 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers compared to now. Originally, our dynasty only had a northern army, not a southern army. Because the General's Mansion is located south of the South Palace, He Gong's tribe is called the Southern Army.

In view of this, His Majesty and the minister suggested that the general should personally take command and go out to fight against the Black Mountain bandits. Zhang Yan, Li Damu, Lei Gong, and Zhang Bai rode those rats, if they learned that our court actually came to attack with a dignified general as the commander, they must know that the momentum of the court is like thunder, and under panic, they will definitely surrender! ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire court instantly turned into a pot of porridge. This is because He Jin and his party are panicking, and those ministers who are watching the play are also talking about it.

When He Jin was sweating in a hurry, Liu Hong's voice floated down from above: "He Qing, are you willing to sacrifice your life to serve the country for me, for the court, and for the Han family?" ”

He Jin was frightened, at this time he couldn't sit still anymore, and he couldn't sit down anymore. He Jin knew in his heart that this was a matter of righteousness, and at this time, he must not shirk, refuse and deny, otherwise he would give someone a handle, Liu Hong would also take the opportunity to suppress him, and others would not be able to intercede for him; He had to accept it on the surface, and then come up with a high-sounding reason to get rid of it.

He got up quickly, stood beside Ma Chao and saluted, saying, "The minister receives the favor of the country, and he should repay himself." ”

Liu Hong smiled and said, "He Qing is really brave and loyal, so since this is the case, he will ......."

Liu Hong was just about to make a final decision, but Wu Kuang, the general of He Jinbu, stood up and shouted: "Slow! ”

Liu Hong closed his mouth dissatisfied, and Wu Kuang said: "Your Majesty doesn't know that although the southern army is numerous, because of the long residence in Beijing, its vigor has been worn out, the military discipline is not in order, the people's hearts are fluctuating, and the combat strength may be difficult to guarantee. If you rush to war, I am afraid that the majesty of the court will be damaged. ”

"Hahaha!" Ma Chao laughed loudly and said, "Captain Wu's cowardice is cowardice, and he actually said such an excuse." Don't you think Your Majesty and the important ministers of the court are fools? The combat power of the Southern Army has declined, and you can say it! Isn't this the fault of He Gong and you and other generals of the Southern Army? If the southern army is unusable, simply cancel it, saving the court money and food! ”

He Jin's face on the side sank like water, and Wu Kuang said angrily: "Ma Gongxiu should be underestimated!" Although the Southern Army is weak, I am afraid that the Western Liang Army can be deterred! ”

Ma Chao said with a smile: "Captain Wu's southern army did not dare to fight the Black Mountain thieves, but they had the courage to face inward and fight their own people. Your Majesty, this is enough to see that the southern army is actually full of combat power, please lead the southern army with the great general He Gong, and conquer Taihang in the north to exterminate the Black Mountain thieves! ”

Ma Chao said this, and He Jin and his comrades couldn't think of anything to refuse for a while. But something unexpected happened to Ma Chao, only to see Situ Xuxiang, who had been silent, come out of class and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the old minister, the Black Mountain thieves are powerful and must not be moved lightly, otherwise there will be no peace in Jizhou and Bingzhou; Moreover, the imperial court had repeatedly used troops before, and many officials and troops were mobilized in Liangzhou and Bingzhou, as well as Sanfu, which cost countless people. In Jizhou, Zhang Wen and Gongsun Zan are still struggling to support. These wars have already emptied the treasury of the imperial court, and the imperial court is simply unable to use troops at this time. ”

Ma Chao has to admire, he is worthy of being the third public, this idea is "drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle". He and He Jin have been arguing about who to send to conquer the Black Mountain Army, but Xu Xiang has been "unable to use troops", which makes the argument between them instantly untenable.
