C927 Two-way Failure
After saying this, the entire hall burst into an uproar.2
Both armies have failed?
Wagang Stronghold! Liangshan Mountain s were actually this powerful!
Zhang Juzheng frowned, "Zhang Xutuo and Cai Jing." The hands of a general, holding an army of hundreds of thousands, was actually being forced by a group of bandits? It should be severely punished! "
Fang Xuanyuan said as he came out: "The most important thing right now is not to investigate who is responsible, but to find a way to deal with it. Luo Cang is an important land in the north, and if it falls, the consequences are unthinkable.
Shen Muqing was not surprised at all. Wagang Stronghold and Liangshan Mountain were not ordinary bandits.
They were the real elites!
However, the dire state of the war made his heart heavy. With the storm blowing and the dangerous situation of the Beijing and Hangzhou Canal not revealed, the Devil Dao and the Buddhist Sangha were ready to make their move again.
He didn't have the energy or fodder or military to deal with these two bandits.
The Human Emperor's cold eyes were filled with anger. He suddenly glanced at Ying Zheng and asked, "You are Minister of Military? What do you think about this matter?"
His Wagang Stronghold is very close to Luo Cang, and right now, his army is no longer in time. Thus, he can only let Wang Shichong lead the 300 thousand men and horses of the main camp to support him. As for Zhang Xutuo, he can't even settle the bandits down, so the incompetent should be sent back to punish him! "
The Human Emperor nodded: "Then what about the trouble with the Liangshan Mountain?"
Ying Zheng said: "Although Liangshan Mountain are plundering, they are not as important as Luo Cang. The imperial government is nervous about using gold, so it is not appropriate to be too extravagant. This son thinks that we can make Cai Jing protect his Qingzhou, and would like to punish him after autumn when the rations are collected."
After the Human Emperor finished listening, he looked down and asked, "What do you think?"
None of the civil and military officials said a word. As Minister of Military, Ying Zheng's military exploits were impressive, and he held a high position in the military.
Since he had already spoken, no one dared to say no. At this moment, Shen Muqing stepped forward and said: "Your son thought that these two plans were inappropriate."
This caused a thousand ripples in the atmosphere. The atmosphere was originally relaxed, but now there was tension. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at Shen Muqing. No one expected Shen Muqing to refute Ying Zheng in such a way and even reject both of his schemes.
He left no face at all, he directly made people vomit blood!
Ying Zheng said angrily, "Ninth Brother is too presumptuous! This King is Minister of Military, so it's not your turn to give guidance on matters of war! "
If it was in the past, Ying Zheng would not be tough on Shen Muqing, but this time was not the same. Shen Muqing being cabinet, Prime Minister, was no longer a threat to his position. He had to defend his own rights.
Shen Muqing said with a calm expression, "This King would definitely not speak up when discussing this matter in the military, but in the imperial court, This King had no choice but to speak."
The Human Emperor replied, "In the assembly, all officials above the third rank have the right to speak. Ninth Brother, what do you want to say?"
Wu Tie was so angry that his face turned black. However, since the Human Emperor had spoken, he could only helplessly look at Shen Muqing.
Shen Muqing said solemnly, "Let's talk about the Wagang Stronghold first. Zhang Xutuo is the marshal of my army, and although he has been through many battles, he lost and became a marshal before the battle. His morale is unstable, so why don't we ask Wang Shichong to send reinforcements, Zhang Xutuo as the marshal, resist, and stand guard?"
Ying Zheng sneered: "I, Hua Xia, will reward you well!" Zhang Xutuo should be punished for being defeated, how could he let him continue to command the army? As for Wagang Stronghold, there's enough Wang Shichong's 300 thousand army to annihilate them! "
