Under no talent, is a world famous general

Chapter 235 Fighting on both sides!

Three days later, Zhanjing Miyagi.

In the imperial study room, the atmosphere was quite stagnant, as if the air had stopped flowing.

The empress pursed her red lips tightly, her pretty face was tense, and her bright eyes were filled with anger.

On the side, sit Wu Xiang, Wen Xiang, Ding Junhou, Taishi and other four ministers.

Wen Xiang was also furious, gnashing his teeth for a while, and groaning angrily for a while.

Wu Xiang's face was slightly gloomy, and he remained silent.

Ding Junhou stared at the Grand Master with wide eyes.At this time, the other party was looking at the document that King Mu had sent from Zhao Lie's Mansion, and the Empress asked them to pass it on to each other.

After reading the civil and military figures, one was furious, and the other's face sank like water. Marquis Dingjun understood that the situation in Zhaolie Mansion was very serious!

Therefore, he looked closely at the grand master, waiting for the other party to read it, and then took it over for a closer look.

"Ah! What a crime!" The grand master lamented, the wrinkles on his face twisted, showing that he was extremely sad.

While lamenting, the grand master stretched out his hand and handed the document to Ding Junhou.

Ding Junhou quickly took it and looked at it carefully.

After reading it quickly, he was stunned. In shock, his heart sank continuously, as if sinking into his stomach!

In the document, there are three pieces of information in total.

The first one is that when King Mu arrived at Zhaolie Mansion, he found out that the Lijiang River had broken its embankment [-] days ago, but the mansion government waited seven days before reporting it, so that the victims were all over the land, hungry and starved to death, and the situation became extremely serious.

In a fit of rage, King Mu wanted to make an example and severely punish the prefect of Zhaolie, but when he arrived in Yanle County, he found that the prefect of Zhaolie... had disappeared!
After investigation, he understood the specific process.

It turned out that on the day of the breach of the dike, the three top officials of the Zhaolie Mansion, the prefect, the Tongzhi, and the general judge, had already made a decision and should be reported immediately.

Three days later, Tongzhi got the news from nowhere, and found that the prefect had not reported it, so he went to question him, but was brutally killed by the prefect.

Afterwards, the magistrate continued to conceal and did not report it. Four days later, the judge found something wrong and realized that Tongzhi's disappearance was related to the magistrate. He immediately informed the garrison captain and went to question him together, only to find that the magistrate had disappeared.

It wasn't until this time that the news of the breach of the embankment in the lower reaches of the Lijiang River began to be sent to Zhanjing.

The second piece of news is that the lower reaches of the Lijiang River have broken the embankment after only five days of heavy rain, which is unbelievable. Therefore, a few days ago, the general judgment sent people to check and found traces of someone artificially digging the embankment.

It can be seen that this natural disaster is likely to be a man-made disaster!
The third piece of news, more than ten days later, the flood in Lijiang became more and more serious. From the beginning, it submerged several counties, and now, most of Zhaolie Mansion has become a vast ocean.

As a result, the number of disaster victims is so large that it is close to one million.

In order to survive, many victims were bewitched to join the Panlian Bandits, so that the latter expanded rapidly, from the previous 20 to 50.

Fortunately, the rain has subsided slightly, and the floods have stopped expanding. In addition, the government has made all-out relief efforts to prevent more victims from becoming rogues.

But now, the Panlian bandits are dominating the right side, gazing at them like a tiger. King Mu only has more than ten thousand soldiers under his command. Even if he mobilizes the garrisons of the surrounding prefectures and counties, they are only [-] to [-]. Dispatch soldiers and horses from the Northern Army Town to suppress the bandits.

If the Panlian bandits are allowed to use the disaster to increase their power, then they may grow into a colossus, and it will be difficult to strangle them.

Holding the document tightly, Marquis Dingjun never expected that Lin Zhan would look like this in just a short time.

The Southern Barbarian Rebellion, Zhao Lie's floods, and banditry... Really, misfortunes never come singly. Could it be that God can't see Linzhan standing up to this day?

No, there must be some young people who are secretly making trouble!
Otherwise, there would be no traces of man-made excavation on the Lijiang dam!
When Ding Junhou was in a mess of thoughts, he heard the voice of the Empress.

"I plan to dispatch 30 troops from the Beibei Army to suppress the bandits. What do you love?" Although her face was calm, she could still hear that the voice of the empress was no longer cold, but tinged with anger.

Wen Xiang frowned and said, "There are 50 bandits, and it's not enough to send only 30 troops to suppress them?"

"No," Wu Ying said, "Although there are many bandits, they are not powerful. If 30 are used properly, they will be enough to wipe them out."

He knew that Lin Zhan must not fight vigorously at this time, let alone fall into the quagmire of war, he must fight quickly with the least loss, otherwise, he will fall into the trap of Chixinmen.

It will also allow Dali to seize the opportunity.

Marquis Dingjun nodded, if he was young, he would be able to defeat 15 bandits with only 50.

"Then Chi Dusi will lead 30 troops to suppress the bandits!" the empress said calmly.

Chi Dusi was the second place in the martial arts examination in the first year of Zhanqing. His full name was Chi Yuanwu. Excellent candidate for banditry missions.

Wu Xiang and Ding Junhou nodded at the same time, the grand master never had much opinion, Wen Xiang could only suppress what he said, and remained silent.

After discussing the matter of suppressing bandits, Prime Minister Wu took out a letter from his bosom, handed it to the Empress, and said, "Your Majesty, this is an urgent message from Captain Zhu Shou from Southern Xinjiang."

Seeing that everyone turned their heads to look, with doubts in their eyes, Prime Minister Wu continued, "The war in the south is urgent. Zhu Shouwei said in the letter that the southern barbarians knew they were invincible and sneaked into the forest to ambush. The dense forest is vast. Zhu Shouwei The soldiers and horses under his command dwindled, and there were only more than [-] people left. After they dispersed, entering the dense forest was like a fish entering the deep sea, and there was no trace of the barbarians."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help frowning.

The situation in the northern border was unfavorable, and it was unexpected that the progress in the southern border was also not smooth.

The empress frowned, and asked, "My loves, how should we deal with this situation?"

Before Wenxiang could speak, Wuxiang took the lead and said, "We should send troops, but not too many."

First of all, the more soldiers and horses there are, the more food and grass will be needed, which will be a big burden for Linzhan.

Secondly, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, it is useless to fight in the forest.

After all, there are many mosquitoes and barbarians are cunning, and only elite soldiers can be effective.

"Well," Marquis Dingjun Fuxu said, "There shouldn't be too many soldiers and horses, and you have to straggle into the forest. It's best for each team to have only a few thousand people."

"Thousands of people, do you mean three thousand or five thousand?" Wen Xiang snorted softly and retorted.

Finally, he was given a chance to speak out, and the two of them sang together here. Do you really think that he doesn't know strategy since he hasn't led soldiers before?
"Three thousand is fine, five thousand is fine. The key is that the general must have extraordinary strategy to deal with the ambush from the dark, and to be able to find the traces of the barbarians and win the victory in a short period of time." Wu Xiang said lightly.

"Exactly." Ding Junhou echoed.

Wen Xiang suddenly choked, and before he could speak, the Grand Master beside him frowned and said, "Leading thousands of people, but you have to have extraordinary strategies, this general is hard to find!"

Wen Lian hurriedly answered, "Exactly, high-ranking generals don't want it, and low-ranking generals don't have such abilities. Why?"

He glanced at Wu Xiang and Ding Junhou, his eyes full of satisfaction.

This situation is totally unsolvable.

Any general with a good strategy must be at least fourth or fifth rank, commanding 10 people, or even tens of thousands of people. Who would be willing to let them lead thousands of people to fight guerrillas in the woods?
As for the low-rank generals, there may be a few of them who are truly extraordinary in strategy, but their reputation is not obvious, who can find out?

Just as Wen Xiang was secretly proud and delighted at Wu Xiang's slap in the face, Ding Junhou said suddenly, "I know a little about such people."

Everyone couldn't help being surprised, and looked quickly, even the Empress was a little puzzled.

In the future, are there really people with extraordinary strength but who cannot be reused?
Facing everyone's doubts, Marquis Ding Jun said slowly, "A first-class student from the Grand General's Academy!"
