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

But if there is an insider,

The second generation present thought secretly in their hearts that if they were asked to take charge, it would not be a problem.

Because the fear of Qingfeng Village in my heart has also dissipated a lot.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down a bit, Wang Ziteng glanced at everyone in the hall and then continued in a deep voice,

"At this moment, I will not hide the truth from you all. I brought you out of the Divine Capital initially, even though I had my own reasons."

"I also hope that you can achieve something here and bring honor to your family when you return to the Divine Capital!"

"The situation is on the verge of breaking out. Isn't this what you are expecting?"

Hearing Wang Ziteng's frank words, many problems were brought to the surface.

Everyone's trust in Wang Ziteng's words grew stronger.

Especially when he heard the word "merit", his eyes lit up with excitement again.

A second-generation nobleman stood up and bowed to Wang Ziteng.

"General Wang, when can we attack the rebels?"

Another person also echoed,

"Yes, Lord Wang! They say that thieves only steal the day before yesterday. How can you be on guard against thieves for a thousand days?"

"We've been here for almost a few months, and we haven't achieved anything. We can't just stay in Jinling City and wait for the rebels to attack, right?"

Wang Ziteng snorted in disdain.

Just a bunch of good-for-nothings!

But still showed admiration and praise,

"You two are worthy of being descendants of noble families. You have inherited the style of your ancestors."

Then he looked at Niu Ben and Shi Lei,

I know that these two are the leaders of these second generations.

So he asked with a smile,

"My two dear nephews, what do you think we should do about this?"

When Niu Ben heard Wang Ziteng asking him, he clasped his fists and said,

"I have nothing to say. The tip of their knife is almost poking our noses, so of course we have to fight back!"

"That's right, fight back! Fight back!"

"A mere group of rebels is rebelling against the heavens. Just give me 50,000 troops, and I will be able to scare the rebels in Zhenjiang Prefecture into running away with their tails between their legs."

"Hahaha."

The words of the crowd eased the serious atmosphere a lot.

Wang Ziteng nodded with a dignified smile, but did not respond.

But he cursed in his heart, what would happen if he was given 100,000 troops to deal with such a fool?

Furthermore, Zhenjiang Prefecture has been lost, and the rebels' next target is likely to be Nanjing.

If all the troops are sent to seize Zhenjiang Prefecture, what will happen if the rebels make a feint to the east and attack in the west?

At this time, Shi Lei stood up and said to Wang Ziteng,

"Sir Wang, the imperial court has already decided on a strategy for suppressing the rebellion. Zhenjiang Prefecture is a crucial location for suppressing the rebellion, and it also provides support to Nanjing. We absolutely cannot afford to lose it."

"I think we should take advantage of the rebels' victory over Zhenjiang Prefecture and their complacency, and attack them by surprise."

"It's possible that we can take Zhenjiang Prefecture by surprise and take back its vitality."

Niu Ben also nodded.

"Yes, that's right!"

"If we can't retake Zhenjiang Prefecture, then Jinling's most important auxiliary city and transit point will be lost, and the consequences will be disastrous!"

After hearing what the two said, everyone in the room gradually quieted down.

Wang Ziteng nodded solemnly upon hearing this and said,

"Yes, what you two nephews said makes sense. It coincides with what I mean!"

"However, the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Zhenjiang Prefecture were all captured by Qingfeng Village. The enemy army is powerful, so we should take a long-term approach!"

Niu Ben, who had a slightly hot temper, stood up and clasped his fists towards Wang Ziteng.

"Sir Wang, I pledge my military authority! Give me 20,000 men and all necessary engineering equipment, and I will lead the army into battle immediately!"

"If you fail to capture Zhenjiang Prefecture within three days, please chop off my head!"

Shi Lei also stood up quickly.

"The general is also willing to go!"

Seeing that Shi Lei and Niu Ben both wanted to fight, even though the other nobles had other thoughts in their minds,

They all stood up in unison.

"I want to go too!"

"I want to go too!"

"..."

Seeing that everyone was eager to fight, no matter if it was true or false,

Wang Ziteng heaved a sigh of relief.

But I started to think in my heart.

What Niu Ben and Shi Lei said was true.
