Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Zhou Zheng froze on the spot, sticking out his tongue to still savor the sweetness just now.

Thinking about the brief softness I felt on my chest, I was still a little distracted.

"Your people, I want to decide."

After a long time, after suppressing the desire in his lower abdomen, Zhou Zheng regained his composure.

"My lords, come in."

Sitting on the chair above again, Zhou Zheng spoke in a deep voice to the outside of the lobby, and then saw Chen Mian and others pouring in.

"I have met the prince."

Under the leadership of Chen Mian, everyone bowed politely.

They really didn't know what Zhou Zheng was thinking about the young-looking prince in front of them.

"Is there any news about the trouble between the caravans and bandits?"

Zhou Zheng glanced down and saw that almost all the officials in Fancheng were present, but the majority were still generals.

"Back offstage, caravans and bandits are always intruding, and we won't be notified in advance."

Regarding Zhou Zheng's question, Chen Mian and others were also speechless.

I have seen idiots, but I have never seen such idiots.

Since ancient times, officials and bandits are not the same family. If they had said hello in advance every time they were harassed, they would not be called bandits.

When the others heard Chen Mian's answer, they also secretly laughed.

It is said that the prince is no longer stupid and has many tricks. Now it seems that it seems to be exaggerated.

"That is to say, if I stay here for three or two days, I may not be able to get rid of caravans and bandits?"

"Yes."

Chen Mian was not joking. This was an attempt and everyone knew it.

"In the past month or so, bandits have suddenly appeared, killing and robbing aimlessly."

"If it weren't for the high walls of our city, Fancheng, and the bravery of all of you to kill the enemy, Fancheng at this time would no longer be as prosperous as before, but would instead be wailing."

Chen Mian's words are not ambiguous. Many civilians outside Fancheng have been harassed by bandits. They rob property and kill people. They do all kinds of evil and the people have already complained.

During this period, many people have entered Fancheng in order to seek shelter.

After all, this place can provide them with enough safety.

"The prince's journey to the north is an important matter for the country. After a period of rest, the lower officials will send out elite troops to protect the prince all the way."

Chen Mian's words without wasting time made Zhou Zheng sneer in his heart.

"Have you found the bandit's lair?"

Zhou Zheng continued to ask.

This question made Chen Mian a little surprised, and then he smiled: "We were holding on to Fancheng, but we didn't check it carefully."

"If we use passive defense, when will the disaster caused by bandits and caravans be truly clear?"

Zhou Zheng stared at Chen Mian and asked thoughtfully.

The other officials present were also silent.

"But it doesn't matter anymore."

"You know how many caravans and bandits there are, right?"

"Your Majesty, there are about 200 people in the caravan and about 300 bandits."

"They are all fierce and murderous."

Chen Mian did not forget to add a few words.

"Ferocious? Bloodthirsty?"

"I would like to see how capable they are."

However, Zhou Zheng was not only unafraid, but also meaningful.

"Master Chen, please count the troops and go with me to suppress the bandits immediately!"

When Zhou Zheng said this, everyone was shocked. Everyone looked at Zhou Zheng as if he were a fool. Obviously they didn't know what kind of medicine was buried in Zhou Zheng's gourd!

"Your Highness, we don't know exactly where the banditry is."

Frowning, Chen Mian finally stood up and spoke again.

Not knowing where the banditry is, if we send troops rashly, it will be no small matter.

Although there are only a few hundred bandits and caravans, if you want to wipe them out, you will need to dispatch a thousand troops or even more. At this time, if something unexpected happens in Fancheng, even ten of their heads will not be enough to kill them. !

"We understand His Highness' desire to perform meritorious service, but sending troops hastily is probably not a good thing."

"It's okay, Your Highness, to think twice."

"I am willing to leave Fancheng in person to explore where the bandits and caravans are hiding. It will not be too late for the prince to take action at that time!"

When other soldiers saw this, they also tried to persuade him.

If you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle, but it is a taboo for military strategists to send troops brazenly when you don't know the enemy!

Although they didn't like Zhou Zheng, and even had some objections in their hearts, no matter what, not many of them were willing to make fun of him with their own lives.

"Everyone, are you scared?"

With a joking smile, Zhou Zheng looked at everyone present with disdain.

"Fancheng was once the iron-blooded city of our Great Zhou Dynasty. It has experienced countless battles. Is it possible that the blood in the bones of the officials and people here has been smoothed away in more than ten years of peace?"

"Have you forgotten how brave you were when you fought bloody battles for your country?"

"Now it's just a bandit attack, only a few hundred people. Are you afraid?"

"You used to protect your home and country, fighting for every inch of territory, and fearless of any invading enemies!"

"But now, the people outside the city wall are wailing. Countless refugees have no fixed homes. Women have been raped, children have been beheaded, and innocent people have died!"

"Can you really stand it?"

"Look into my eyes and tell me that you are really willing to sit back and wait for death, and are you really unwilling to take the initiative to find bandits, eradicate them, and give the people peace of mind?!"

Zhou Zheng clenched his hands into fists, slammed them on the table, and questioned these people sternly!

And these words, like a wave, hit hard on the bodies of many officials and generals below!

"The minister is willing!"

"Find the caravans and bandits and kill them all!"

The officials below, after all, there are passionate people who come out to speak to Zhou Zhengzhengzheng!

Seeing many officials and generals acting like this, a smile appeared on Zhou Zheng's face.

This at least shows that these people still have blood flowing in their bones!

"Master Chen, what do you think?"

Zhou Zheng cast his gaze on Chen Mian and asked slowly.

At this moment, Chen Mian looked at the officials and generals out of the corner of his eye and cursed in his heart.

"A bunch of brainless guys!"

How could he not see that these were just nonsense words made by Zhou Zheng in order to send troops.

But these idiots were actually influenced by their emotions at this time and stood up to support Zhou Zheng!

"The prince is worried about me, the people of Fancheng, and I can't thank you enough!"

"As long as it complies with the rules of the imperial court, I will naturally be willing to go out of the city to suppress the bandits and bring peace to the people around me!"

At this time, there was no room for Chen Mian to disagree.

"You all work together to suppress the bandits, so you don't have to worry about anything."

"If the bandits are successfully suppressed, the credit belongs to everyone. If the bandits are failed, the responsibility belongs to me."

Zhou Zheng's last words completely dispelled everyone's only concern.

Seeing how everyone was gearing up, Chen Mian looked a little ugly.

"Damn, short-sighted!"

While Chen Mian secretly cursed everyone, he also looked at Zhou Zheng inwardly.

In just a few words, he can arouse everyone's emotions. This alone is extraordinary!

"very good."

"Master Chen, now go and count the three thousand soldiers and horses, and accompany me to go out of the city to suppress the bandits."
