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

"At the same time, I have submitted a petition to the court, requesting His Majesty to dispatch troops from all over the country to help us eliminate the rebels."

"This way, we can completely trap this group of rebels in Yangzhou and capture them all in one fell swoop."

As he spoke, his eyes swept solemnly across the faces of everyone present.

"As for us, the Jinling Imperial Guards, what we need to do before the imperial army arrives is to stay in Jinling and become a cage to hold these ferocious rebels."

"Once the emperor approves my memorial, we will march on the border with our army and simultaneously surround and suppress them from all four sides. By then, even if the Qingfeng rebels have three heads and six arms, they will be nothing but turtles in a jar!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked. They looked at Wang Ziteng in solemn astonishment, their hearts trembling.

What an unscrupulous Wang Ziteng!

With such a strategy, the rebels in Qingfeng Village will surely be surrounded and killed in Yangzhou, and then completely wiped out.

After all, the imperial court was fighting against a small corner of the country. How could a mere group of tens of thousands of rebels compete with it?

But in this way, the people of the entire Yangzhou area and even Huai'an Prefecture will be temporarily abandoned and will fall under the tyranny of the bandits.

God knows what kind of cruel and inhumane things that group of traitors can do when they are forced into a corner!

Wang Ziteng is using the lives of almost all the people in Sudi as burial objects for the death of Qingfengzhai!

Facing everyone's gaze, Wang Ziteng smiled slightly.

Although this plan was not his.

But as a subject, one often has to consciously take the blame on himself.

This is the way of being a minister.

The more Wang Ziteng felt the powerful cohesion and appeal of Qingfeng Village, the more he understood the keen sense of smell and the insight that could see through everything of the two powerful leaders, the current emperor and the retired emperor.

He took the blame today, and even if he would be infamous in the future, the emperor would take care of him, and Jian was in the emperor's favor.

Then Wang Ziteng saw that everyone was silent, took a deep breath and sighed,

"Therefore, I hereby reiterate that without my orders, no one is allowed to move a single soldier without authorization, so as to avoid affecting the overall situation!"

"But anyone who violates this will be killed!"

Perhaps it was Wang Ziteng's earth-shattering and unscrupulous plan that shocked all the generals and officials.

When everyone heard Wang Ziteng's murderous words, they trembled all over.

They all stood up and clasped their fists towards Wang Ziteng to receive the order.

"Yes!"

Seeing that everyone was shocked again, Wang Ziteng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.

However, at this moment, a messenger with a small flag on his body rushed in quickly.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the messenger.

As soon as the messenger entered the room, he immediately knelt on one knee and clasped his fists towards Wang Ziteng.

"Your Excellency, General, urgent news from Yancheng!"

"Two hours ago, Yancheng fell to the rebels from Qingfeng Village!"

"what?!"

"Yancheng was captured?"

"How long has it been? We only received news today that the rebels in Qingfeng Village have mobilized. How is this possible?"

The entire lobby was instantly filled with gasps of air.

Wang Ziteng frowned. Although he was horrified in his heart, he pretended to be calm.

Looking at the messenger, he asked,

"Tell us the truth in detail how Yancheng was captured!"

"Yes! Sir General!"

The messenger responded and reported the information he had gathered truthfully.

When everyone learned about it, they faced the Yancheng County Magistrate leading 500 defenders to defend the city wall.

The rebels from Qingfeng Village unexpectedly captured Yancheng in less than a quarter of an hour without any soldiers.

Moreover, the Yancheng County Magistrate Qiu Dahai was punished by heaven and died by a thunderbolt on a clear day in front of the soldiers of both sides.

Everyone present was shocked.

Some people have begun to worry.

County Magistrate Qiu was devoted to his country, but he was punished by heaven for resisting the rebels.

So what should they do?

Could it be that the rebels in Qingfeng Village are truly destined to be killed?

Just when everyone had their own thoughts,
