Tokyo.

The triennial scientific expedition finally came to an end, and the emperor personally named the top three.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial history book stated that the four robbers were in trouble, and the lives of all parts of the country were devastated, and the emperor was furious and angrily reprimanded the ministers for not being diligent in government affairs, so that thieves and thieves broke out.

"The thieves are in chaos, you are waiting for the king's luck, and you are worried about the king, why not calm the chaos!"

Zhao Ji was very angry, his dragon flag was stolen by Sun Lei of Liangshanbo, and he had already lost face, and now there are thieves from all over the world making trouble, which is simply slapping him in the face, although he is not interested in national politics, but as a big player, he attaches great importance to face.

"Your Majesty, the thieves are inciting the displaced people to make a rebellion, and the soldiers and horses are limited in various places, please send troops to quell the rebellion!"

An official saluted and spoke.

"How many soldiers and horses do you want?"

Zhao Ji waved his hand irritably and asked, sending troops is asking for money, and what he lacks most is money.

Zhao Ji looked at Tong Guan, the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji has always listened to Tong Guan when marching and fighting.

"At least 300,000 soldiers!"

Tong Guan came out of class with a serious face and said to Zhao Ji with a fist.

"Three hundred thousand!"

Zhao Ji's face changed greatly, 300,000 soldiers and horses is not a small number, so many soldiers and horses are enough to fight a battle with Western Xia or Liao.

Above the court, Cai Jing and the others all squinted at Tong Guan, why do you need 300,000 soldiers and horses to exterminate some bandits, everyone present understands Tong Guan, Tong Guan must be trying to eat empty salary again if he opens his mouth so loudly, this thief uprising is huge, it is impossible to extinguish it in a year or two, and this empty salary is not a small amount.

"It takes so many troops to exterminate the bandits?"

Zhao Ji said with some displeasure.

"Your Majesty, that Liangshan Bo Sun Lei has been entrenched for a long time, deep-rooted, and there is a danger of refusing to defend Shuibo, it is not easy to exterminate it, how can it be extinguished without a large army? The first few defeats of the army are a lesson from the past. ”

"And the other three groups of thieves are not good, Hebei Tianhu gathered his life, fabricated fallacies, and incited foolish people, and now he has defeated Weisheng Prefecture and Miyang Mansion, and it is said that he has 200,000 soldiers and horses!"

"Huaixi Wang Qing has now taken Fangzhou, Jingnan and other places, Huaixi thieves have responded, and now Huaixi is shaking, that Wang Qing has more than 100,000 soldiers!"

"Among the four cowards, Jiangnan La is the most vicious, Fang La spreads cults in Jiangnan all the year round, not long ago raised troops, those foolish people who were bewitched have made trouble, thieves hate officials, after breaking Hangzhou, wantonly slaughter officials, cut off their flesh, cut off their bodies, take their lungs and intestines, or boil them into anointing oil, indiscriminately pierce their bodies, torture them in various ways, it is simply heinous!"

Tong Guan still reported to Zhao Jiyu with a serious face.

"What?"

Zhao Ji and the hundred officials were shocked, they only knew that the four gangsters in the world were in turmoil, and they never thought that the thieves would make such a big fuss, and the most terrifying thing for everyone was that Fang La, who dared to torture and slaughter the court officials.

"There are such thieves in the world!"

Zhao Ji patted the armrest of the dragon chair angrily, even if the thieves made trouble, they even dared to kill the court officials, it was simply heinous.

"Your Majesty, that thief Sun Lei killed my son, and the minister is willing to lead troops to destroy Sun Lei!"

Gao Yu saw that the emperor was angry, and immediately bowed down to the emperor with a sad face.

"Would you like to take the troops?"

Zhao Ji looked at Gao Yu and hesitated, Gao Yu was just a companion he received when he was the prince, because he was happy to serve, so he promoted him to be a titular captain, but Gao Yu's ability He knows very well, it is no problem to eat, drink and have fun, but it is not his forte to lead the troops to fight.

"Your Majesty, the revenge of killing the son is not shared! May Your Majesty be fulfilled! ”

Gao Yu directly kowtowed three times.

Tong Guan squinted at Gao Yu, he didn't speak, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, he was ready to take full power to suppress the bandits this time, with the help of the bandits, he could accumulate a large number of soldiers and horses and wealth, these things can play a great role in recovering Yanyun.

"Tongxiang, the thieves are scattered, I think it is better to transfer troops on the spot, after all, Tokyo is the national capital, and the forbidden army is still needed."

Li Gang, the living man at the end of the court, suddenly spoke.

Li Gang was in power and the second year of Jinshi and the second, all the way to supervise the imperial history and the imperial history of the palace of power, but soon because of the discussion of the mistakes of the court, he was dismissed from the official ministry, reappointed as a member of the ministry, moved to the living room, and was responsible for recording the emperor's daily life words and deeds.

"That's a good statement, the forbidden army should not be mobilized too much, aren't there still soldiers and horses in the locality? Killing thieves shouldn't be a problem. ”

Zhao Ji smiled and said, although he doesn't like Li Gang, a guy who admonishes all day long, but today's words are very popular with him, and he doesn't need to spend too much money to exterminate thieves in the local area.

"If the local soldiers and horses can exterminate the thieves, why is this situation now?"

Tong Guan glared at Li Gang with cold eyes.

"In this way, it is better for the forbidden army to join forces with local soldiers and horses to fight the enemy, and it will not damage the defense of the Beijing Division."

Li Gang said with a smile, of course he knew that the thieves wanted to be exterminated, but he couldn't let Tong Guan take away 300,000 forbidden troops at a time.

"Your Majesty......"

Tong Guan looked at Zhao Ji, but at this time Zhao Ji was thinking, Tong Guan didn't say what he wanted to say in the end, he followed Zhao Ji for many years, and he was the most able to figure out Zhao Ji's thoughts, at this time Zhao Ji was obviously unwilling to transfer too many forbidden troops.

"Your Majesty, the combat strength of the local soldiers is limited, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility, and go to the footsteps of Liangshanbo."

Cai Jing saw that Tong Guan's face was not good, and said in a timely manner, Tong Guan is now very powerful, and he still needs to make good friends and sell Tong Guan's favor.

"Why are thieves so powerful? I can't exterminate the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Zhao Ji said a little irritably.

"Your Majesty, thieves are just some rogues and grass thieves, although they gather people to rebel, but it is just a small trouble, it is better to send someone to announce the edict to recruit peace, and give each a brocade robe, silver belt, clothes, money, and be promoted, thinking that I am a great Song soldier!"

Captain Su came out of the class and said, and he put forward the idea of recruiting an again.

"Zhao'an?"

Zhao Ji frowned and thought about it, he used to be just a Shandong Sun Lei, but now there are Jiangnan La, Hebei Tianhu, Huaixi Wang Qing, all of a sudden the Quartet is anti-thieves, it is too troublesome to exterminate, and Zhao'an has become the best choice.

"The thieves slaughtered the officials of the court, and the anti-heart is obvious, if it is a thief like Zhao'an, who is full of blood, how can you let me stand on this court? How to deal with those colleagues who have been killed by thieves? ”

Behind Gao Yu, an official immediately went out of class and said, Gao Yu has a blood feud with Sun Lei, Gao Yanei and Gao Yao both died at the hands of Sun Lei, if Sun Lei recruits an and becomes a court official, then Gao Yu still has the face to stand above the court.

As soon as these words came out, the quiet Chaoban instantly chattered, and the officials whispered to each other, all of them were talking about Zhao'an in a low voice.

If the thieves just attack the city and kill some people, it doesn't matter, but Sun Lei and Fang La killed the court officials, which makes them unacceptable, as soon as this opening is opened, how can the safety of the officials be guaranteed in the future?
