In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

Although Lu Feng lived in the capital, he didn't know many things. After all, it was impossible for him to know the true financial situation of the court at his level.

"Lord Sun! You mean the imperial court's aid to the west will probably stop soon!" Lu Feng was a little anxious when he heard this. He knew very well where these rebels came from. They were all people who were hungry and dying of hunger. That's why they took the risk. If the rescue they saw originally was just a way for the imperial court to temporarily stabilize them, then when the food for the rescue was cut off, it was conceivable that it would be impossible for the imperial court to gain their trust in the future.

"You are a lieutenant of the court! Those things are not what you need to consider! What you need to consider is to obey my command and defeat these rebels! The reason why this rebel army is so strong is because they are led by mature and experienced people! And after returning to Kyoto, I will try my best to get His Majesty to transport more food. As long as we persist for a few months, when we can continue to grow food, those villagers will have hope and will not take risks again!" Sun Ting sighed. The current Dakun Dynasty is really in trouble both internally and externally. The drought in the west is just one of them. Taxes in the south and southeast are getting less and less. Those fertile areas have been turned into their own private fields by those scholars and officials! The Dakun Dynasty was established at the earliest time for the literati and officials to help them govern the country. Various preferential policies for them were formulated, even small scholars had tax exemptions and preferential policies for work and rest. Those bigwigs in the court got more benefits. Their families bought a lot of land in various places in Jiangnan and Henan. These lands do not need to be taxed under their protection. In this way, the tax revenue of the entire Dakun is getting less and less. A large amount of tax revenue will be pressed on the land-poor areas in the west and central regions. This is why taxes are increased even when there is a drought in the west.

As a member of the Normal University Affiliated High School, Sun Ting was of course also a beneficiary. Although most of the literati saw the reason, no one would stand up, which would not only damage their own interests, but also offend the entire literati group.

When Emperor Chongming ascended the throne, he had the ambition to be a wise ruler. He removed the eunuchs and sent Yuan Chong to the Northeast as the commander-in-chief to lead the Northeast Army. He was originally prepared to make a big move against these scholars and officials. But he found that he was powerless against these people. After all, they were all his people from top to bottom.

All he could do was to constantly collect taxes from the lands that the literati despised. He used this to support the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northeast. But it was already difficult for these troops to barely maintain their defense. If they wanted to attack further, they would need a large amount of armaments. They would need more food and military supplies. All of this formed a vicious cycle. The treasury became increasingly empty. Even when there was a drought in the west, there was no money or food to help.

"Lord Sun! Don't worry, I will definitely defeat these rebels in this battle!" Lu Feng said excitedly. He finally understood why the Minister of War came here in person. How much pressure was Sun Ting under?

Sun Ting was relieved by Lu Feng's excitement and determination. He knew that although Lu Feng did not know some of the real conditions of the court before, he now understood the severity of the situation and was willing to contribute his strength to the stability of the court and the country.

"Captain Lu, I admire your determination. But I want to remind you that this battle is not just against the rebels, but also a test for our Dakun Dynasty. We need to unite as one and overcome internal and external troubles to ensure the long-term stability of the country." Sun Ting said seriously.

Lu Feng nodded in agreement. He understood that this battle was not only for his own honor and status, but also for the future of the entire Dakun Dynasty. He had to go all out to ensure victory.

"Sir Sun, I will obey your command and lead my men to fight bravely. At the same time, I will try my best to win the trust of the rebels and let them understand the sincerity and determination of the court." Lu Feng said.

After hearing this, Sun Ting nodded with satisfaction. He knew that Lu Feng not only had firm determination and courage, but also had outstanding wisdom and leadership. Such a general was exactly what the court needed.

"Very good, Captain Lu. I believe you can complete this task. At the same time, I will do my best to obtain more resources and support for the court. Let us work together and fight for the future of the Dakun Dynasty!" Sun Ting said.

After hearing this, Lu Feng was filled with gratitude and respect. He knew that it was a rare opportunity and honor for him to meet such a superior and leader. He would definitely cherish this opportunity and contribute his strength to the court and the country.

"Lord Sun! I heard that the leader of this rebel army is Yuan Quan! He is the son of old General Yuan!" Lu Feng suddenly said at this time. Among the generals who served in the army, especially those who had seen the powerful barbarians in the northeast, everyone admired Yuan Chong very much. After all, Yuan Chong organized the entire defense system of the northeast. Only then could he barely stabilize the situation in the northeast. Originally, it was recommended step by step according to the original settings.

The living space of the barbarians will become smaller and smaller. Solving the problem of the barbarians is just a matter of time. Now everything has failed. Now he can barely resist the attack of the barbarians, but it still depends on those defensive achievements!

"These are not issues we should consider! I have asked His Majesty for an order! Forgive Yuan Quan's crime! As long as he can finally lay down his arms and surrender! I can also save this bloodline for the old marshal!" Sun Ting sighed. You know, he was just a small waiter in the Ministry of War at that time! His words were not influential and could not affect His Majesty's decision at all. And even if he was the Minister of War at that time, he probably could not influence the decision of the Chongming Emperor. Instead, the emperor was connected to his ministers. After all, the Chongming Emperor has always been suspicious. Otherwise, this unfounded situation would not have occurred.

"Hurry up and prepare, they will be here soon! This battle does not require you to kill many enemies, you just need to disperse this rebel army! As long as these people are dispersed! These people will not continue to follow Yuan Quan and his group! Then we can negotiate with Yuan Quan and his group! Let them surrender on the condition of pardoning him! As for the northwest and southwest, those other rebels are nothing to worry about!" Sun Ting was very confident at this time. As long as Yuan Quan's group was dealt with, the others were just a mob.

"Please rest assured, sir! I will definitely defeat this rebel army and restore peace to the northwest!" Lu Feng immediately promised. He immediately organized the soldiers and prepared to start the attack.
