Liu Zongzhou hurriedly said, "I object. If Zhang Zhun occupied Shandong, his strength would become greater and greater and he would never be able to deal with it in the future."

Yang Yipeng also said worriedly: "If Shandong canal transportation is accurately cut off, so what?"

Wen Tiren waved his hand and calmed everyone down, and then said slowly: "You don't understand what I mean. Since it is secret, it is for the sake of preparations in the future. To deal with Zhang Zhun, we must take the initiative and concentrate our superior forces to destroy them in one fell swoop. If Zhang Zhun really defeats the Tartars, then the three major corpses of Liaodong, Xuanda and Qin can quickly go south and besiege Shandong."

Fu Zonglong clapped his hands and shouted, "Good plan! When Zhang Ni thought the court was unable to counterattack, he gave him a mountain to press the top and crush him into powder with a thousand pounds of force! With an army of 300,000, he should be more than 90% sure to destroy the 30,000 people of the Hu Ben Army!"

Chongzhen's face was obviously a little excited.

That's right, Wen Tiren's plan was vicious enough. Zhang Zhun drove the Tartars away, and believed that the Tartars would definitely flee in a panic and had no time to take care of them. At that time, the two legions of Liaodong and Xuanda, as well as the Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, who were drawn from the Central Plains, rolled south and besieged Shandong. With the power of a 300,000 army, Shandong could be crushed into plain land without any effort. Even if Zhang Zhun had the ability, he could not resist the large number of people in the imperial army! Moreover, the imperial army was all elite. Chongzhen's confidence came back all of a sudden.

Qiao Yunsheng's face changed slightly. Unexpectedly, Wen Tiren had such a backup plan. If Zhang Zhun was caught off guard, he might really suffer a big loss. He quickly stabilized his thoughts and said steadily: "If so, before the army goes south, you must make Zhang Zhun feel at ease. The minister suggested that it would be better to give him a title and let him take charge of Shandong military affairs so that he could completely relax his vigilance."

Liu Zongzhou wanted to speak but stopped, and looked worried.

Qiao Yunsheng would never give him a chance to refute and said sternly: "Li Qidong, if you don't have good suggestions, just shut up!"

Wen Tiren also looked at Liu Zongzhou deeply, of course, meaning that he should not cause trouble.

Liu Zongzhou had no choice but to sigh helplessly and remain silent. The situation was over. People in the court thought that Zhang Zhun was good at calculating and thought that he could use 300,000 troops to deal with Zhang Zhun. If Zhang Zhun was really so easy to deal with, he would not be Zhang Zhun. Zhang Zhun's foundation was not in the Hu Ben Army, but in the huge power of the Juntian Ling. Is there a lot of 300,000 troops? If Zhang Zhun was willing, he could mobilize 500,000 troops at any time! There are many poor people in Shandong who urgently need land, and they are Zhang Zhun's most solid supporters. Alas, if you want to make trouble, you will continue to make trouble, and you will soon regret it.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said indifferently: "Since that's the case, just give him an earl. Everyone think about it, what kind of earl should be named."

Since the emperor spoke, everyone had no objection. Anyway, it was secretly announced, and even if it was given to a duke, not many people knew about it. When Zhang Zhun was eliminated, everything would be covered up and no one knew about it. Soon, everyone decided to grant Zhang Zhun the title of Pingdu Bo. The title name of the Ming Dynasty was basically granted according to the place name. In the area controlled by Zhang Zhun, Pingdu Prefecture had the largest area, so the court could use it as a great official to be enchanted.
