Prince Yong'an Chen Su sighed again, "It's really like suppressing the gourd only to cause another problem. However, this time we are going to Zibo and Yizhou, and Mr. Xiao can stay in the capital.

Even if the Zhenxi Army is unwilling to enter the pass to wipe out the bandits, I am confident that I can wipe out the bandits in Zibo and Yizhou.

At worst, I can ask the soldiers of Guangwu Town, Xingwu Town, and Yingwu Town to work harder and follow me to Zibo Prefecture and Yizhou to wipe out the bandits."

Nowadays, there are many bandits in various places in the north of Liang State, but the most serious ones are in Zibo Prefecture and Yizhou. Many county governments and towns in these two states have even been captured by the bandits.

Xiao Jing then said, "Your Majesty, Guangwu Town, Xingwu Town, and Yingwu Town have all lost a lot of soldiers and horses in the southwest. Although some people have been added to the southwest, the total number of these three towns is less than 170,000.

It would be best to let these three towns rest in the capital for a while and fill the vacancies."

After a pause, Xiao Jing continued, "If the Zhenxi Army does not send troops, Your Majesty can draw troops from several loyal protectorates in the north. However, I believe that the Zhenxi Army should enter the pass."

Yong'an Prince Chen Su asked in surprise, "Mr. Xiao, why are you so sure that the Zhenxi Army will enter the pass?"

"prestige!

Today's Zhenxi Army can be described as strong in both men and horses.

But in our Daliang, the Zhenxi Army is not well-known, especially among the people.

This time, we're entering the pass to suppress the bandits, which is a good opportunity for the Zhenxi Army and Sun Hao to improve their reputation."

Yong'an Prince Chen Su frowned immediately, "Now that Mr. Xiao has said that, I'm starting to wonder whether I should ask the Zhenxi Army to enter the pass."

Xiao Jing smiled slightly, "Your Highness, right now, for the imperial court, the most important thing is to wipe out the bandits in the northern states.

It is said that due to the rampant banditry in the northern states, the four great Khanates on the grasslands are ready to make a move. If order cannot be restored to the northern states as soon as possible, the consequences may be unbearable for the imperial court.

Yong'an Prince Chen Su sighed and said, "Then we still have to dispatch the Zhenxi Army to enter the pass.

I hope I can take this opportunity to persuade Sun Hao to pledge his loyalty to the court."
