Things are sometimes so mysterious, with the current power and status of Cai Jinggao Yu and Liang Shicheng, in the past, anyone they wanted to convict, no matter whether there was conclusive evidence or not, as long as they moved this thought, the crime would be on that person's head, and there would be no injustice at all.

But this time against Sun Tu, even if they were eighty or ninety percent sure that the people in Wuqiu Town were killed by Sun Tu, and the food was robbed by Sun Tu, there was no way to take him at this time. Because they have great concerns—

Cai Jing's question suddenly made the other two quickly shut down, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more weird. After being silent for a long time, Gao Yu said angrily: "Taishi, can we only watch him proud, but can't we rectify him?" Although local officials could not find conclusive evidence, ......"

"You want to say that we can concoct human and physical evidence?" Cai Jing glanced at Gao Yu, with a little disdain in his eyes. He still looks down on Gao Yu, a colleague who is actually limited in ability and only relies on flattery to get in. He Cai Jing is the master of political disputes who broke out from the bloodless but more tragic battles between the DPRK and China, and he is much more clever than the two people present in terms of temperament and means, which is also the key to his ability to suppress the officials of the DPRK and China all the time.

Gao Yu smiled a little wryly, and acquiesced to this statement. Indeed, with their power, they don't need to arrange it personally, they just need to reveal their meaning, and all kinds of evidence will be discovered one after another, and then it will be enough to cure Sun Tu's crimes.

And this time, Liang Shicheng, who has been cooperating with Gao Yu, was a little overwhelmed, and sighed and said: "Gao Taiwei, that Wuqiu Town is not under your noses and mine, and Sun Tu is not in Jingshi, haven't you thought about how much trouble it will bring us once things are messed up?"

"Yes, as long as we show our intentions, the people below will come up with a lot of evidence, but can you guarantee that these people will not turn back in the future? There is also that Sun Tu, he is not the official of the DPRK and China that we rectified before, this person is bold and ruthless, and it is impossible to be restrained. Once he knows that it was me who was planning him, how would he react? ”

"This ......" Gao Yu was stunned, and he already had the answer in his heart, I am afraid that by then, the only thing Sun Tu could do was to directly rebel! At this time, the number of men and horses under Sun Tu's hands was already more than before, if you add the Liangshan thieves who are fighting with them, once the two sides are combined, then the whole of Shandong will really be completely out of the control of the imperial court, and the consequences will not be something they can deal with.

And what's even worse is that once things really come to this point, who can guarantee that the hands and feet they did before will not be exposed, and then the government and the opposition will denounce it, believing that they forced Sun Tu and the Shandong officials and soldiers to the step of rebellion, then Cai Jingjing may not be able to withstand the pressure from all sides, let alone his high spirits.

After thinking about the various stakes, Gao Yu's face suddenly turned pale: "The Taishi has taught me a lesson, and it is the lower officials who have thought about things simply. "If Sun Tu is now in the capital, they can naturally use various means to rectify him, but he is far away in Shandong and has soldiers and horses in his hands, so such means must not be used.

As I said before, the traitors of the DPRK and China can frame those officials who are loyal to the court on the charge of conspiracy, because they believe that the other party cannot and does not dare to do such things. But when Sun Tu did have the ability and courage to commit a conspiracy, they didn't dare to plant him with such a crime.

Rat-throwing bogey, nothing more!

"But that's why we let him go?" Gao Yu was still unwilling, saying that how could a powerful minister like them have suffered such a big loss under other people? What's more, the other party looks still low, which makes it even more difficult for people to accept.

Cai Jing's face was also very ugly, but he was not in a hurry to say anything, but looked at Liang Shicheng, waiting for this person to come up with something. Seeing this, Liang Shicheng could only sigh and said: "In the opinion of the following officials, we can only endure this breath for the time being, and wait for the end of the first battle of Liangshan Pingkou to say that it is not too late."

"If Sun Tu loses his hand in Liangshanbo, the imperial court will naturally have a justifiable reason to severely punish him! And in the opinion of Xia Guan, this result should be very likely. After all, the imperial court sent several soldiers and horses before and failed, could he still be an exception? In addition, although he has seized grain and grass, but the other weapons and baggage have not yet been shipped, this time we can use this as an excuse to suspend the delivery, they lack weapons and arrows and other logistical support, it will definitely be more difficult to win. At that time, the failure of the bandits, coupled with the great loss of strength under the loss of soldiers, is a great opportunity for us to take the opportunity to get rid of him! ”

As soon as Gao Yu heard this explanation, his spirit suddenly perked up: "It's too Fu Gaojian, I was really too careless before I went down." Such a response can indeed eradicate Sun Tu and his henchmen quietly and at the lowest cost! ”

Just when Liang Shicheng was smiling proudly, Cai Jing asked leisurely: "Then what if he is a Pingkou?" ”

These words made Liang Shicheng also stagnant, he was really not optimistic that Sun Tu would be able to pacify the Liangshan thieves, so he didn't think about it. As for Gao Yu, he opened his mouth and stammered, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that both of them were questioned, Cai Jingcai sneered: "Some things are like fighting, and it is only right to think about defeat before you win." So we have to come up with a way to deal with it if he succeeds. In fact, this is also simple, since he Sun Tu is so capable of fighting, let him continue to make contributions to the imperial court, and now that Jiangnan has become a big trouble, he can lead the army to quell the chaos again. You say, 'Will he dare to refuse?' ”

"Of course not." The two replied without hesitation. As long as Sun Tu has not rebelled, he must obey the orders of the imperial court, otherwise he will give them a chance.

"What Sun Tu relied on, in addition to the soldiers and horses under his command, the most important thing was that the local people in Shandong had been bewitched by him, and that was where his confidence to dare to act recklessly lies. So as long as we take this opportunity to transfer him from Shandong, even if he really quells the Fangla Rebellion in Jiangnan, as long as he is not allowed to return to Shandong at that time, Sun Tu will no longer be too threatening! ”

"It's good to follow the clever plan of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, the master is wise, and the officials admire it!" After Gao Yu came over suddenly, he hurriedly gave his hand and praised. In terms of talent, he may not be too good, but in terms of his ability to meet and pat horses, he is much better than many officials in the DPRK and China.

Even Cai Jing laughed unsatisfied at this time: "So, let that Sun Tu run rampant for a few more days for the time being, no matter what the final outcome of Liangshan Pingkou is, he will not escape death!" ”

The two on the other side also laughed, and the resentment in their hearts was finally relieved, and then they left with a relaxed mood. It's just that after they left, the smile on Cai Jing's face was still suppressed, and he secretly calculated in his heart again: "Sun Tu's problem is just one of the corners, and now the imperial court is still too lenient to those generals, so that they have become presumptuous!" A Sun Tu has already made it difficult for the imperial court to start, if the Western military family, or Tong Guanzhi and the like do something similar, it will be difficult to check and balance. It seems that we must start dividing their military power as soon as possible to get rid of future troubles! ”

Sun Tu could never have imagined that his series of self-preservation methods would actually bring new troubles to the entire Great Song army system, and further worsen the already weak Great Song Dynasty official army.

￥￥￥￥￥

Of course, his move is not entirely a hindrance, in fact, it still has some positive effects, at least it has frightened some local officials in Shandong.

Just like Cai Jing's opinion, when the inside story of the tragedy in Wuqiu Town came out, some local officials in Shandong immediately guessed that this matter was done by Sun Tu's people, because they had never heard of the existence of a lawless bandit on Gyeonggi Road, who actually dared to rob the grain of the government and kill thousands of people...... And after thinking about this, they are really scared, obviously once Sun Tu is really ruthless, maybe he will also use such a thunderbolt method on them!

Sun Tu had also asked the government in Jeju, Dengju and other places to requisition grain, and after receiving a secret letter from the powerful ministers of the DPRK and China one step earlier, they naturally chose to obey the other party's arrangement, and did not respond to Sun Tu's request, at most they said that there was a shortage of food in the city, and they were still being raised for the time being.

Because in their eyes at that time, compared with Sun Tu, a powerful minister like Gao Yu was a more terrifying existence, and that was the person who could really determine his future official position. But now, after learning of the tragedy in Wuqiu Town, this idea immediately turned around one hundred and eighty degrees, although the official position is important, can it be compared to his own life?

Whether it is Gao Yu or Cai Jing, the most they can do is to remove them from their official positions under various pretexts, but once they annoy Sun Tu and let him lead the troops to kill, then even their own lives have to be involved. Almost everyone can quickly judge which of the two is more important.

So in the next few days, the state capitals suddenly became rich, and the efficiency of the officials of the various yamen was also greatly improved, and in just three days, they all raised thousands of grains, and then sent people to the front of the army without losing them.

As a result, within 10 days after Sun Tu seized grain in Wuqiu Town, the army's grain stocks, which had already bottomed out, continued to increase, and by the middle of April, the grain stockpiles in the barracks were enough for their entire army for half a year.

Naturally, the officers and men of the officers and men were overjoyed and their morale was greatly boosted. Youdao is not panicked when they have food in their hands, and with so many food reserves, they are already determined to fight a long enough war of attrition with the Liangshan bandits.

For the heroes on the mountain, watching the grain trucks constantly entering the barracks made them very uneasy, and even Song Jiang began to waver, feeling that there was something wrong with his previous strategy.

And it was at this time that the change that really decided the direction of this battle finally happened......
