The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

In order to quickly report victory to the court, such a method would also be implemented.

But it is obvious that the emperor and the retired emperor have already mobilized the troops from other provinces.

The intention was to encircle this group of rebels in Yangzhou and completely eliminate them.

How could he disobey the order?

After thinking for a while, Wang Ziteng was about to speak up to dissuade him.

But at this time, Shi Lei, the grandson of Duke Shan, had a different opinion.

He first clasped his fists and saluted Wang Ziteng, then said,

"Sir Wang, in my opinion, the Qingfengzhai rebels have been able to operate in Yangzhou for such a long time. They are like a behemoth. We should be cautious."

"The best strategy is to launch an all-out attack, working from the outside in and gradually eroding the enemy!"

Before Wang Ziteng could speak,

Niu Ben said with disdain,

"Why bother with so much trouble with just a bunch of peasant rebels? The Emperor and His Majesty are still waiting for our victory in the capital. We should cut the Gordian knot as soon as possible!"

"Shi family boy, if you're scared, then just stay in Jinling City and wait for me to lead my troops to wipe out the rebels so I can give you a share of the spoils!"

"Hahaha!"

Shi Lei snorted coldly.

"Hmph! Niu Ben, stop judging me by my own strength! I'm no pushover either!"

As he said this, he stretched out his hand and waved his hand to the noble sons present, and said with disdain to Niu Ben,

"Who among you present here will not come to contribute to the country and share the worries of the king and father?"

"It is precisely because the Emperor and His Majesty are waiting for our performance in the Divine Capital that we cannot act rashly!"

"Otherwise, if you rashly send troops and something happens, you will never be able to atone for your sins, even if you die a thousand times!"

Niu Ben glared at Shi Lei with annoyance.

"What do you mean? You speak as if you are the only loyal subject!"

As soon as this was said, many people immediately echoed it.

"Yes! Young Master Shi, we are all descendants of nobles of the imperial court. We have received the emperor's grace for generations and are full of passion to serve our country."

"That's right, I don't like what you said!"

"That's right! They're just a bunch of bandits, yet they're so cautious. Really..."

"..."

Listening to everyone's chatter, Shi Lei frowned slightly.

But soon he clasped his fists to everyone and said,

"Everyone, everyone, you have misunderstood!"

"What I mean is, even a lion needs all its strength to fight a rabbit, let alone tens of thousands of rebels!"

"We all followed Lord Wang to Jinling, and our dedication to serving our country goes without saying! But the more so, the more cautious we must be, right?"

Niu Ben chuckled and looked Shi Lei up and down.

"Hey, you're so indecisive, kid. If I were to ask you, with your method, it would take who knows how long to wipe out the rebels."

"Everyone present here is a descendant of noble families. How could they be frightened by a mob?"

"Yes! That's right!"

"Brother Niu, what you said makes sense!"

"I agree with going straight to Huanglong!"

"me too!"

"..."

Shi Lei frowned and advised helplessly,

"Brother Niu, your method is simple and efficient. However, according to current intelligence, the rebels in Yangzhou have spread throughout the two states and six counties of Yangzhou. It is impossible to succeed in one battle."

"If we attack directly, we will inevitably be surrounded by bandits from other parts of Qingfeng Village. If we are delayed, we will be in a dilemma."

"So I think this method is not advisable. It's better to..."

Before he could finish his words, Niu Ben curled his lips.

"Shi Lei, boy, I'm asking you, did you drink too much wine and women in Shenjing, or did you have too many women?"

"I tell you, no matter how big a mob is, it's still just a mob!"

"At worst, I can lead 5,000 elite soldiers to suppress the rebels at Datongshan in Yangzhou. If that doesn't work, you can always bring in a larger army to support us."

"No! Or when..."

"What, are you scared?"

"you……"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again,

Wang Ziteng, who was in the first position, had no choice but to stand up and shout in a deep voice,

"enough!"

Although Wang Ziteng does not hold any title now, and is only the general of Jinling.

Under normal circumstances, these children of nobles would naturally not take such an official position seriously.

However, Wang Ziteng is from the lineage of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, and is related by marriage to the four major families.
