Chapter 353: Killing Chickens with a Knife

However, the Black Tiger Ridge bandit incident attracted Chu Xintian's attention.

"How did the bandits come about" Will even the imperial court be alarmed?

Ordinary mountain bandits can be eliminated if they are sent out by local officers and soldiers.

No matter how powerful the bandit is, can he be stronger than the regular army

Does the imperial court still need to order troops?

"We don't know where they came from, but I've seen them and I don't really think they're ordinary thieves. The current situation over the past two years seems to have been fairly calm. It's also because we haven't had any major incidents here. It is relatively stable. It is said that there are many victims in the northwest and southwest regions, and some people have secretly organized associations, and it seems that they are going to rebel, and if the bandits from Heihuling come from here, it will not be easy. “

Although Chu Xintian didn't know much about politics, she had heard that the current situation of the imperial court was not optimistic.

The little emperor was too young, and Empress Dowager Xiao was in charge of these affairs. Power is in the hands of her relatives. Her younger brother, Uncle Xiao Guo, can be said to cover the sky with one hand in the capital.

Chu Xintian had studied history before. She knew that if such a thing happened to the imperial court, internal affairs would be chaotic.

However, as a person like Chu Xintian, she felt that the affairs of the capital and the imperial court were far away from her, and she didn't care at all.

She is most concerned about her life and family.

When Chu Xintian heard Lu Weichuan say that the imperial court was going to send troops to suppress bandits, she suddenly remembered something:

"Wei Chuan, do you think the imperial court will send Chu Yuan's army to Heihuling to suppress bandits?"

Speaking of this, Chu Xintian was still a little excited. If so, can Chu Yuan come back with an army from the north

Black Tiger Ridge is not far from here. Chu Xintian thought she might have a chance to meet her brother

Chu Yuan has been away from home for half a year. In the past six months, he has written letters at any time to report his safety. However, Chu Xintian always felt that even if his younger brother stayed with the young marshal, it was not necessarily completely safe to march and fight outside.

If Chu Yuan can return to the Chu family and get closer to Chu Xintian, she will feel more comfortable as an older sister.

After all, suppressing bandits sounds much easier and less dangerous than fighting the Liaojin cavalry in the north

"Send Zhao Jiajun back to suppress the bandits" Lu Weichuan couldn't help but smile when he heard Chu Xintian's words: "I think it's unlikely."

"Why"

After all, Chu Xintian didn't know much about politics and military affairs. Seeing that Lu Weichuan denied her idea, she naturally asked.

"In the past few months, the results of the Zhao Jiajun battle have been very good. They fought three or four victories in a row, drove the cavalry of Liao and Jin out of the north, went hundreds of miles north, and guarded a large territory on our border. Zhao Jiajun is the most meritorious official of the country, and the task of suppressing bandits cannot fall on Zhao Jiajun's head under any circumstances. ”

What Lu Weichuan said, Chu Xintian can understand.

Zhao's army defeated Liaojin's cavalry, won the battle, and became a national hero. Returning to the dynasty after the victory, they should be reused. Killing chickens with a knife to deal with such a small thing as bandits in the mountains, he doesn't need a knife like Zhao Jiajun at all.

Therefore, it is very unlikely that the Zhao family army will come to Heihuling to suppress the bandits.

Chu Xintian understood the truth and sighed.

In the past few months, the letter sent by Chu Yuan also said that the victory of the Zhao family army was very exciting, but Chu Xintian was frightened when he read the letter.

She knew how many soldiers were killed in each battle.

Every time Chu Xintian received a letter from Chu Yuan, she was afraid of receiving the next letter, and what she received would be bad news.

No matter how many victories the Zhao family army fought, Chu Xintian did not have the slightest joy.

She just prayed. Don't let anything happen to her brother.

She would rather this matter have nothing to do with Chu Yuan than let Chu Yuan die on the battlefield and become a combat hero.
