When the news came out, everyone in the martial arts pavilion was deeply surprised, but when they calmed down and thought about it carefully, they found that such an arrangement was actually expected.
Shannan-do is right next to Gyeonggi-do. It’s not far from Gyeonggi, but it’s not close either.
This short distance conveniently facilitates the preparation of materials and the deployment of personnel in the army, and will not cause any trouble to the army.
Of course, the main reason is that Shannan Road has been plagued by bandits over the years, and many of them are quite powerful, which has gradually become a bandit chaos that harms one party.
The imperial court had long planned to send people to Shannan Road to suppress bandits, but things had been going on in the imperial court recently, and when it came to the troubles caused by bandits, there were places more serious than Shannan Road.
Therefore, the campaign to suppress the bandits on Shannan Road has never been possible, and the Ministry of War did not even have regulations.
Unexpectedly, the Ministry of War acted so quietly, taking advantage of this martial arts competition to put the suppression of bandits on Shannan Road on the agenda.
Leaving aside the actual combat of the martial arts competition, the suppression of bandits on Shannan Road is a matter that benefits the people of that area.
"Shannan Road..." Zheng Ji said these three words, and he didn't know what he thought of, and his tone was a little sad.
There were too many people around her to help. In addition to the people in Changding Mansion, there were also help from the Jiang family, Fengju, and Dou family, so she already knew that this actual battle would be to suppress bandits.
However, I didn't expect it to be Shannan Road.
She was somewhat shocked that her father would choose Shannan Road.
This kind of astonishment was not because Shannan Road's suppression of bandits was so unbelievable, nor was it because she was unfamiliar with Shannan Road.
On the contrary, she is extremely familiar with Shannan Road.
Shannan Road has several special concerns for her.
First of all, her third emperor brother, Zheng Xun, who had been deprived of the title of "King Yi", was imprisoned in Yinzhou, Shannan Province.
This time, Lizhou, which was set to suppress the bandits on Shannan Road, was not far from Yinzhou.
It is really thought-provoking that my father chose this location and made arrangements to suppress the bandits.
Secondly, it’s because of Shen Chen.
Shen Chen had been serving in the army in Shannan Guard before. If he had not gone to Jingzhao for the martial arts competition, he would have been developing weapons in Shannan Guard by now.
If Shen Chen was not injured and went to Shannan Road to suppress the bandits this time, he would be fighting on his own territory. It would be like a dragon returning to the sea and a fish returning to the abyss.
Even if Shen Chen is injured now, he can still provide her with a lot of information about Shannan guards and bandits.
——You know, this time Wuge will act together with Shannan Wei.
Of course, neither of the above two points is the most important.
The most important thing is that in her previous life, she finally won the followers of Fengchen Guard here on Shannan Road.
It can be said that Shannan Road was a blessed place for her in her previous life.
Is it still not the case in this life?
Right now, she couldn't tell.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with Shannan Road?" Du Fengju couldn't help but asked when he saw her look of sadness.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Zheng Ji shook his head, smiled, and added, "On the contrary, it's a good thing."
"A good thing?" Du Fengju wanted to know why His Highness felt so.
Although he has always been in Hedong, he has gone to Shannan Road many times because Shen Chen is here.
Every year in the past, he would travel from Hedong to Shannan Road to see how Shen Shen was doing.
He knew that bandits were rampant in Shannan Road, but he also knew that Shannan Guards had actually been suppressing bandits, but without much success.
Of course, the most important thing is that Shannan Guards did not actually start a war. Otherwise, these bandits would have been annihilated long ago.
The reasons are so complicated that they cannot be explained clearly word for word.
However, what Shannan Wei has never been able to accomplish in the past, can it be accomplished now that he has joined the martial arts competition?
He didn't think so, but felt that there were many variables in it.
But His Highness smiled and said that this was a good thing, but he really didn't understand.
「
We are quite familiar with Shannan Road, so there won’t be any problems with the terrain. Furthermore, isn’t Shen Chen from Shannan Road? "Zheng Ji replied.
When it comes to fighting, it's all about the right time, right place, and right people. She doesn't know the right time yet, but she already has the right place and right people. Isn't this a good thing?
She is very familiar with Shannan Road. She can know the direction of the mountains and rivers and the high mountains of Shannan Road without looking at the map.
Next, my grandfather and the others will find out more about Shannan Road, and there will be no worries about the geographical location.
Renhe, it's Shen Chen and the others.
As for the weather...
It is already December, and the severe cold must be coming to Shannan Road. Logically speaking, this is not the best time to suppress bandits. However, it is freezing cold and the bandits are staying in the mountains. This is the best way to catch them all. good time.
After hearing these words, Du Fengju nodded and said, "That's true."
He remembered the news sent by Henglou when he first returned to Jingzhao.
Princess Changding is arrogant and has never left Jingzhao...
In this case, why would His Highness say he is quite familiar with Shannan Road?
Did you get this familiarity from various news reports, or was it something that His Highness experienced later?
Only His Highness himself knows this.
Zheng Ji met Du Fengju's eyes and just smiled.
She really couldn't tell Feng Ju what happened in her previous life, but with Feng Ju's intelligence, she must be able to guess it.
She still had to deal with it before she could say anything about Feng Chenwei's following.
But right now, she was more concerned about another point.
"Feng Ju, Brother Three Emperors was imprisoned in Yinzhou, Shannan Road. My father placed the martial arts competition in Shannan Road. Do you think this has anything to do with Brother Three Emperors?"
The scourge of thieves and bandits will never end.
In addition to Shannan Road, in fact, bandits were also very rampant in the Yuzhang area of Jiangnan Road, and the bandits there were extremely powerful and had the potential to cause chaos. This was where the imperial court should send troops to suppress the bandits.
However, my father ignored the thieves in the Yuzhang area and instead focused his energy and attention on Shannan Road.
Is this because of the martial arts competition, or is there another reason?
"The suppression of bandits on Shannan Road is indeed more suitable for martial arts competitions than the suppression of bandits in Yuzhang. But whether there are other reasons requires careful investigation." Du Fengju replied.
At present, there is no more news from Zichen Palace, and the emperor has never discussed the matter with anyone. Only when Dou Cong asked for instructions, the emperor directly selected Shannan Daolizhou.
The location of Shannan Road is indeed very delicate. The third prince is still imprisoned there, and the death of his mother, Concubine Zhou Shu, is still full of doubts.
It’s hard to say whether the emperor placed the venue for the martial arts competition in this place. Whether it was because of the third prince or not.
"Indeed, we need to prepare early." Zheng Ji said lightly, looking a little tired.
Whether it is related to the Third Emperor Brother is actually not important.
A person who is imprisoned, despised by his father, and whose mother's power has been completely reduced, is actually very limited in what he can do.
However, Shannan Road is also related to Fengchen Guard!
This was the thing that lingered most in her mind.
