While Zhou Jing was on the way, the news of the bandit suppression failed and the front line was defeated by the postman and the horses were finally sent to the capital.

When he learned that Tianwang Village was defeated and almost wiped out, a huge uproar occurred in the capital, and all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked and shocked.

On the day of the court, the court officials discussed fiercely and criticized Lu Longchuan for his unfavorable command of the troops.

"Lu Longchuan is a man of mediocre talent and incompetence. He was defeated so simply. The bandits are bandits, which is really useless!"

"If I had known this, if I had taken over this person's military power, I would not have been wiped out in one battle!"

The court officials were excited, criticized, and were angry, and they were so excited that they seemed to want to go on stage in person.

Although they have never brought soldiers or seen the battlefield, they do not prevent them from thinking that they are experts and scolding Lu Longchuan for being incompetent in command of the army, which fully reflects what it means to speak without pain in the back when standing.

In their expectation of talking about the war on paper, the ideal result is that both sides will suffer losses, not only will they successfully suppress the bandits, but they will also weaken Lu Longchuan's troops and kill two birds with one stone.

Once the two sides fail to continue to stalemate according to their ideas and the situation changes and loses control, they become furious.

Lu Longchuan was defeated too thoroughly, which ruined the court's layout. The court originally wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but now not only failed, but also lost a handful of rice, which made the enemy who was confidant grow stronger.

Thinking of this, the court officials were dissatisfied with Lu Longchuan, but also felt uneasy about the situation.

The Privy Councilor Pang Hong did not speak, and looked at the ugly ministers coldly, and couldn't help but gloat.

He always supported sending troops early, but these court officials did not care. They felt that the situation was still under control and wanted to please the emperor's preference for saving military expenditure, so they always refuted him, believing that they could continue to watch the fire from the other side of the river to take advantage of it.

The war has changed rapidly, and the trend is now taking a sharp turn. As he predicted at the beginning, the consequences of lack of greed are to be completely ruined.

Pang Hong looked down on these civil officials in the same hall who were both chewy and liked to give advice from the bottom of his heart, but the emperor supported the other party at the beginning, so he did not dare to express his ridicule, but just lowered his head and said nothing.

On the dragon throne, the emperor listened to the remarks of the ministers and horses, but he didn't know that these things were trashing the blame, and his face looked extremely ugly.

Qin Song coughed and left:

"If the war fails, Lu Longchuan will naturally be unable to escape the blame. But he doesn't know his life and death at the moment. It's useless to say that. The enemy of Tianwang Village is just a bandit who was recruited. Even if it is defeated, it will not be a disaster to the court. The matter is prioritized. What should be discussed now, how should we deal with this Chen Feng."

The emperor's face calmed down a little, and nodded and said, "What Qin Aiqing said is right. If Chen Feng is in trouble with the country and the people, do you have any plans to break it?"

The ministers immediately shut up, lowered their necks and looked down, and looked at their eyes, nose and heart, as if they had become silent wood sculptures.

"No one in the civil and military affairs in the court had a good plan?"

The emperor's tone was dissatisfied.

He then looked at Pang Hong and said in a deep voice: "Pang Aiqing, are you a soldier-knowing person? Do you have any insight?"

Hearing the emperor's name in person, Pang Hong spoke and said his draft had been written long ago:

"Report to the Master, the bandits used war to support the war, seized the legacy of the Tianwang Village, and their power became increasingly stronger. If they were allowed to digest the income, it would be more difficult to deal with in the future. In my opinion, we should immediately draw elite border troops, then draw warable troops from various prefectures, march from several routes, and fight together to suppress the bandits... Now the bandits have just experienced a great war and have not recovered completely. We should take this opportunity to attack them with a thunderous offensive, so as not to give the bandits a chance to breathe."

When the emperor heard this, he frowned and pondered without saying a word.

Seeing this, Pang Hong paused, continued to speak, and said loudly:

"The commander of the three armies, and I recommend one person, is a descendant of Yiguo Kuma Cheng, called Ma Zhen. He is currently the defensive envoy of Puzhou, Yi and Luzhou governor. He has read military books since he was a child, has a skilled archery and horse strategy, and is well-organized. He is a commander."

The emperor's eyes lit up: "Since he is a descendant of a famous founding general, he must have extraordinary abilities!"

The ministers immediately whispered and started discussing in a low voice.

Ma Cheng was the founding general of Daxia. He is also famous for his bravery and his courage and military strategy are also the best choice. The Ma family has always been a general and noble family in Daxia for generations.

Pang Hong bowed and struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "I recommend two people to assist the commander. One of them is Huang Ping, a descendant of Jiyang, who serves as the commander of Qizhou. He has strict military commands and extraordinary martial arts. The other one is Yuwen Yan, a descendant of Shande, who serves as the descendant of Hongwu's army, who serves as the commander of the commander of the commander of the army. He is good at strange strategies and understands Yin and Yang. These two people are famous generals of the dynasty, and are not comparable to those of Lu Longchuan."

The emperor nodded his head with his beard and was quite pleased to hear that there were talents in the dynasty.

But he immediately realized that he had not agreed to send troops yet, so why did he talk about the candidate for the commander?

"I have not decided to send troops yet, so I will discuss it again..."

The expenses of sending Tianwang Village to suppress the bandits were still within the acceptance range, so the emperor did not object, but the court personally sent troops to launch a large-scale attack, and the military expenditure was astronomical, which made him hesitate.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Pang Hong knelt down and said excitedly:

"Chen Feng is a man with ambition and disrespect for the king's laws. One day he will endanger the country and must not let him go. Now that Lu Longchuan is defeated, only if the court sends troops can he conquer it. This harm will be eliminated once and for all! Otherwise, the bandits spread to all parts of the country and will shake the foundation of the country and the world will be in chaos!"

Upon hearing this, a minister immediately jumped out and scolded:

"Bold, you are exaggerating before the Holy One?! The Holy One has good governance of the country. How can the disease of tinea scabies that are only temporary? Are you implying that the Holy One is not favorable to the people? Where is your intention?"

The emperor frowned, scolded the minister for stopping his mouth, and comforted Pang Hong:

"Pang Aiqing, let me stand up, I know that you are dedicated to your country and are loyal."

Pang Hong then stood up thanking him, but still bowed deeply.

The emperor pondered for a while, but still endured the pain and nodded, "Pang Aiqing's words are reasonable. This Chen Feng is a major trouble for the court. You should send troops to suppress it. I agree to this matter."

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Pang Hong quickly saluted and breathed a sigh of relief.

Without war, there will be no military merits and military expenditure. After so long, the emperor finally let go and sent troops. Finally, it was his turn to make money.

He couldn't help but secretly complain... Now he knew what he had been going to send troops? It would be better to conquer with Tianwang Village, which has a greater chance of victory.

Only when the teammates were destroyed did they realize that they took action. This was the result of greed and short-sightedness!

In his eyes, all the civil and military officials of the court were incompetent!

Of course, Pang Hong knew that he was not a loyal minister who was worried about the country and the people, but at least he knew that if he made money, he would still win the war.

Therefore, Pang Hong spoke again and said seriously:

"Then Chen Feng was amazingly brave. If the imperial court sent troops to win, there would be one person to support him."

"who?"

"Naturally, it's the real person of Shenxiao Fengling."

Pang Hong answered honestly.

After seeing so many Chen Feng's battle reports, he still couldn't think of how to defeat it. He was not confident that by relying on the command of famous generals, he could solve this very reasonable master in the world.

So naturally, Pang Hong took a look at the shocking true man Yufeng, who was in this battle, and believed that only by bringing this "weapon" could he restrain Chen Feng and prevent the opponent from using his unstoppable beheading tactics.

After the words came, all the civil and military officials looked at each other.

The emperor's face also darkened.

Seeing this, Qin Song understood the king's heart and quickly looked worried, as if he was sympathetic to the monarch, and said helplessly:

"Lu Longchuan was defeated, the entire army fled, and the whereabouts of Shenxiao Fengling Zhenren were unknown. It is too early to say this now. However, the real person has high skills and auspicious people have their own heavenly appearance, so they should be able to escape danger and become a barrage."

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and showed concern.

Before going to war, Yufeng Zhenren promised him that he had the ability to escape without any war.

But the current line was really defeated, and the emperor was still worried, afraid that the alchemy master would not come back, so he subconsciously rejected and let Yufeng take risks, and wished he would keep him in the capital forever and be a cage.

It would be great if the real person was a woman, he would directly enter the harem and everything would be solved.

At this time, Ning Zhongjun suddenly stepped out and frowned:

"I think this matter is strange."

The emperor was stunned: "What do you mean by my dear?"

Ning Zhongjun expressed his doubts and raised the question: "The evil dragon turned into a human, and the true man of Shenxiao Fengling used immortal methods to compete with him, which made the two armies stalemate, but why was they suddenly defeated?"

The ministers frowned and whispered.

They had already heard of the battle report of the battle between Yufeng Zhenren and Chen Feng, and were naturally shocked.

In fact, they believed that the two sides could have a long-term stalemate, and one of the factors was that Yufeng Zhenren's immortal methods could prevent the Tianwang Village from being quickly conquered by the enemy.

But unexpectedly, Lu Longchuan suddenly became defeated, and for some reason, Yufeng Zhenren suddenly fell silent.

Because the war report has not been returned, the people in the court did not know the details and were all doubtful in their hearts.

At this time, a Qingliu spoke coldly: "This matter must be investigated strictly. If the real person of Shenxiao Fengling neglects the war and leads to the defeat of the front line, then he will be responsible for the failure of the war."

The emperor frowned and scolded:

"I talk nonsense, and the real person has repeatedly beaten Chen Feng. I feel that he has made merits but no faults, so how can he become a crime?"

Seeing that the emperor clearly supported others, the Qingliu immediately stopped and stopped talking badly behind his back and targeted others maliciously.

When Ning Zhongjun heard this, he immediately agreed:

"Although the true man Shenxiao Fengling failed to suppress this evil dragon during this trip and never broke this disaster, he also made great contributions and deserved some reward."

The emperor's face looked a little better.

Let's not mention this topic for the time being, the ministers discussed the issue of sending troops to the court for a while before leaving the court.

Ning Zhongjun followed the courtier out of the hall and thought to himself.

Although he did not see the battle report, he was basically sure that there must be something wrong with Ling Fengzi, which led to Lu Longchuan's sudden defeat. Most of the time the bribery successfully poisoned him.

If Ling Fengzi is poisoned to death directly, it is naturally the best. Even if it fails, Ling Fengzi may be defeated at the hands of Dragon King Village and be killed by himself.

No matter how badly he was, he sent a group of dead soldiers as a backup plan, and I don’t know if he had taken action.

In Ning Zhongjun's opinion, the chance of Ling Fengzi returning to Beijing alive is already very low, so he doesn't mind holding Ling Fengzi's credit in the court and making some cover-up.

"Ha, Ling Fengzi is absolutely unlucky, the enemy has been eliminated."

Ning Zhongjun's mouth curled slightly, and his heart was happy.

However, he wasn't happy for long.

Just over half a month later, the Yufeng Zhenren returned to the capital without any damage and immediately alarmed the government and the country.

And Lu Longchuan, with his only remaining brothers, traveled all the way back to Beijing.
