This time he took the risk of sending troops to rescue Dongping Mansion, Sun Tu was not only thinking about defeating Liangshan and accepting Dong Ping, but also wanted to benefit from this time in political affairs.

I don't know if some people in the DPRK and China have already greeted the officials of the provincial capitals in Shandong, or for some other reason, since Sun Tu returned, he has lost any control over the soldiers and horses of the state capitals outside Qingzhou, and his military orders cannot mobilize a single soldier from other prefectures at all, which is obviously unacceptable to him.

In order to reverse this unfavorable situation, in addition to showing the strong strength of the Qingzhou Army, it is also necessary to grasp the handle of these people. And this incident in Dongping Mansion provided an excellent opportunity and excuse for Sun Tu, especially when there was no movement in other state capitals, Sun Tu had the absolute initiative, and he had every reason to punish these subordinate state capital supervisors as the Jingdong Road Soldiers and Horses Metropolitan Supervisor. Since the soft ones can't be made, then the hard ones come!

And the one who was the first to be chosen by Sun Tu was Duan Yu, the governor of Zizhou, who was not far from Dongping Mansion!

Seeing that Sun Tu suddenly led people in, the faces of the two officials in the room were stiff, especially Duan Dujian, his eyes flashed with panic, and after a little hesitation, he hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to salute: "Duan Yu, the lowly Zizhou Metropolitan Supervisor, has seen Sun Dujian, I didn't know that Sun Dujian was here, and I would like to forgive you for your mistakes." As he spoke, he also pretended to bend his knees as if he was going to bow down, but in fact, his movements were extremely slow, obviously waiting for Sun Tu to step forward to support him, so that the relationship between the two sides eased down.

The Great Song Dynasty is not as good as the later Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is almost impossible to see kneeling and bowing at ordinary times, don't say that Duan Yu saw Sun Tu, that is, the seven-rank official saw the ruling of the dynasty, as long as he was not guilty, or deliberately curryed favor, it was impossible to bow down. But this time, Duan Yu miscalculated, seeing him acting like this, Sun Tu was completely indifferent, and only looked at him and Shen Danian with a gloomy face with a smile, to see how he ended.

This Duan Yu can be regarded as lifting a stone to hit his own feet, the action of bending his knees is really awkward, and after making a move to kneel in front of Sun Tu, he is not easy to retract, so after a while, he knelt in front of Sun Tu with a helpless puff, and because of the loss of control of his strength, his knees hurt for a while, and his face was distorted. And in this way, Duan Yu was completely overwhelmed by Sun Tu in terms of momentum, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing Duan Yu making such a fool of himself, Shen Danian's face became even more gloomy, and he finally couldn't help but hum: "Sun Dujian, you are so bold!" ”

"Oh? Shen Zhifu's words are too serious. Duan Dujian was only a little excited to bow more, and it wasn't the official who forced him to kneel. As he spoke, he took a step forward and gave Duan Yu a handful: "Duan Dujian, if you have anything to say, let's get up and talk about it." Duan Yu felt wronged in his heart, but in the end he finally got up.

"This official is not referring to this matter, but that you dare to lead troops to trespass on my Zizhou Mansion, who gave you the power to dare to do such a ridiculous thing!" Shen Danian shook his spirits and asked in a deep voice.

Sun Tu's approach is indeed very inappropriate, at least it is a violation of officialdom taboos, and at worst, it is an offense to the prestige of the imperial court, and it is not an exaggeration to be directly convicted. Of course, even if Shen Danian had the courage to really attack Sun Tu, otherwise the Qingzhou army outside the city would have to come in to save people.

In the face of such accusations, Sun Tu did not deny it, and immediately bowed his hand to Shen Danian and said: "What Governor Shen said is very true, this official is indeed a little Meng Lang. But I also acted recklessly in a hurry, and if it weren't for Governor Shen's fault, I wouldn't have done such a thing. ”

"Sun Dujian, are you quibbling? What mistake can this official make that would lead you to go straight to my mansion? ”

"Governor Shen, are you deceiving me that I don't know about this place?" Sun Tu's gaze slipped over Duan Yu, who remained silent, again: "You are a civilian official, why are you meddling in the affairs of our army?" Dare to ask, do you, the prefect of Zizhou, have the right to interfere in the affairs of the army, and even dare to let Duan Yu refuse the order issued by his own official! He came to Xingshi to ask about the crime this time, so naturally he didn't leave any mercy, and went straight to the point: "Actually, this official didn't want to embarrass you before, but today you left Duan Yu in the mansion, I want to find him, so I can only come here, otherwise, I'm afraid that you will avoid it like just now!" ”

It stands to reason that civilian officials do not have the right to meddle in military affairs, but the Great Song Dynasty has always been noble and military, and it has long been an unspoken rule in various places to take care of military affairs, and even control the army in the jurisdiction. It is only because of Qingzhou's journey that there will be a special situation such as using force to control literature.

However, the unspoken rule is called the unspoken rule, because it has no explicit provisions, and if you really want to be more serious, what they do is illegal, which is also the root of Sun Tu's ability to take the initiative to make trouble. Shen Danian was also slightly stunned, and could only say at this time: "I'm afraid that Sun Dujian is wrong, this official has never wanted to meddle in military affairs, and everything before was Duan Dujian's own decision." Today, he is also the official who came to the government to see because he had something to discuss. "At this time, you must take yourself out first, so that you can continue to compete with Sun Tu.

But Sun Tu couldn't give him a chance to buffer at all, so he immediately turned pale and turned to Duan Yu, who was already pale: "Duan Dujian, in this way, all the decisions made by you to disobey the official's order, and then not save Dongping Mansion when it was besieged by Liangshan bandits?" ”

Duan Yu was really scared to the extreme this time, and his body couldn't help but tremble violently, so he almost knelt down to Sun Tu again: "Go down...... The lower officials didn't dare, but they were ...... at that time At that time, there were some problems with the urban and rural troops, so it was difficult to send troops at will...... "I couldn't come up with a reasonable excuse for a while."

"There is a problem in the army, why has this officer never seen you report?" Saying that, he sneered again: "Bring people in!" ”

The two military attachés drooped their heads and were pushed into the room, Duan Yu only looked at it, and his complexion changed again, these two people were his right and left hands in the army, Yu Hou Ge Hui and the commander Fan Liang, I didn't expect that the two of them were actually pinched by Sun Tu early in the morning!

In fact, before coming to the government to ask for the crime, Sun Tu had already led people into the military camp here. With his current identity and momentum, how could the Zizhou Township Army resist it, so he quickly grabbed the two officials who stayed in the camp, and after some interrogation, he took them straight to the prefect's yamen.

"You two will say what you just said to me again, so that the forgetful Duan will increase his memory." Sun Tu ordered in a cold voice.

Even if these two people have always been Duan Yu's cronies, they didn't dare to disobey at this time, and said intermittently at the moment: "Before, Sun Dujian transferred my Zizhou military horses to Qingzhou for training, but Duan Dujian suppressed them...... And when Dongping was attacked before, when they sent people to ask for help, the capital eunuch only promised to help, and then strictly ordered us not to leave the city without permission......"

"Is it because something happened in the army that you can't move lightly?"

"No, no......" The two of them said, but they didn't dare to glance at Duan Yu or Shen Danian.

"Duan Duan, what else do you have to say now? Not saving Dongping is already a crime, and this official can even suspect that you are colluding with the Liangshan thief, so he will not save him when he dies! As for not obeying the orders of this officer, it is a serious crime in the army, and with this article alone, this official can kill you to correct the military law! Sun Tu looked straight at the other party and said coldly: "At this time, do you still want to say that all this is your own meaning?" ”

Duan Yu was not a person with guts, and when he heard such a threat at this time, he was already frightened, and he didn't care about anything else, so he shouted urgently: "Sun Dujian spare his life, Xiaguan...... The lower official was also forced to be helpless, it was Futai who told me to ignore it and not send troops......"

As he said his words, Shen Danian's body was also shocked, and his face turned pale. He knew that Duan Yu was not a person with courage and responsibility, but he didn't expect this person to collapse so quickly, and after only a few threats from Sun Tu, he had already explained everything, and he also pulled himself into the water by the way.

And Sun Tu turned his attention back to Shen Danian at this time: "Governor Shen, what else do you have to say now?" ”

"Yes, the official asked him to do this, but it was also for the safety of my Zizhou. If the local village army is suddenly transferred away, how can we resist when we encounter an invasion of bandits? Moreover, if all the state capitals are all civilized, does Sun Dujian still want to be the enemy of the world? "Now that we've come to this point, let's talk about it. Shen Danian stared back at Sun Tu fearlessly, as if he wanted to compete with him.

Sun Tu laughed: "This official doesn't want to be an enemy of the world, and I don't mean to blame Governor Shen, I just want to prove that I broke into the mansion today for a reason." And compared to my little mistake, Shen Zhifu, your actions of transgressing your responsibilities are probably even greater, right? ”

Shen Danian snorted, but he no longer dwelled on it. At the same time, he was in a panic again, Sun Tu didn't seem to have any intention of embarrassing himself, but then he would make such a move?

Soon, Sun Tu announced the answer, no longer paying attention to Governor Shen's mansion, and said directly to Duan Yu: "Duan Yu, as the governor of a state, not only do you not think about serving the country, but you give up the military power, which is really a failure of the imperial court. Although this official has no right to hold others accountable, he has the right to remove you from your official position, and from today onwards, you will no longer be the governor of Zizhou. Fan Liang, the position of the capital supervisor will be temporarily replaced by you, and this official will also leave you 300 soldiers to guard Zizhou, train soldiers and horses, and then leave Luda to manage the affairs of the army with you, are you willing? ”

As soon as this order came out, everyone present was stunned on the spot, happy and worried, Sun Tu was actually going to seize Duan Yu's military power directly, and he wanted to completely control the military power of Zizhou in his own hands!
