Sun Tu stood in front of Zeng Kaiqian, who had fallen and retreated, with a smile on his face: "Zeng Jian Jun's words are serious, no matter how bold and reckless this official is, he will not dare to kill Qincha so unscrupulously, even if you are indeed guilty, I have to spare your life." But you may be exonerated from sin, but some people are not so good! After that, he suddenly turned his head and looked behind him, and shouted: "Take Hou Yong Wang Kuang down for me!" ”

Before the two generals could react, dozens of soldiers on both sides rushed up, and between their fists and kicks, they had already knocked the two over and held them down. It was only then that they struggled and shouted: "Sun Dujian, wronged, we don't have any violations of military law......"

"Didn't you? You have had secret meetings with him three times in the past half a month, and a few days ago you even promised to bring your subordinates and others against me when there is a change in the army, and the official of the truth knows nothing about this conspiracy? Sun Tu shouted coldly. Just one sentence made the two of them stop at that time, and their faces showed even more horror, how could their plot be known to Sun Dujian early in the morning? If Zeng Kaiqian hadn't revealed the bottom first, they would all suspect that Zeng Jianjun had betrayed him.

Zeng Kaiqian was even more surprised at this time, why was this so? Was it that some of the Qingzhou generals who were co-opted by themselves betrayed and revealed the news? Who would that be? A series of questions kept arising, and his mind quickly went over the generals who had promised him to act, but he couldn't guess for a while.

Sun Tu looked at the other party playfully, and soon understood his thoughts, so he sneered: "Do you think this trick can restrain me?" Don't look at whose place this Qingzhou is! To tell you the truth, the soldiers here are all loyal to my grandson, and I have long seen through your calculations. ”

Zeng Kaiqian then understood, why Hou Yong and the others were so stunned when they saw that they had ordered to do it, it turned out that the soldiers and horses trained here were not the officers and soldiers of the two governments under their command at all. This Sun Tu is really insidious, and after knowing his calculations, he dug a pit early and waited for himself to jump down......

"Bring everyone out of here!" As if to completely destroy the other party's luck, Sun Tu ordered again. Soon, several generals from the front were brought over by a lot of people, and they all came down from Qi to victory, all of them were Qingzhou generals who had promised to have a meeting to fall to him, and all of them looked panicked and depressed, and it was obvious that being taken down in one fell swoop was also a great blow to them.

And after seeing Sun Tu, these people shouted one after another: "Sun Dujian, I know that I am wrong, I will only be confused for a while, and I will be bewitched by Zeng Kaiqian, please give us another chance in the past......"

Sun Tu swept over them with some sadness, shook his head and said, "Didn't this official give you a chance?" Before today, as long as any one of you contacts you privately and wants to report to me the news that you are against me, this official will not be guilty of the past! But what choice did you make? So from the very beginning, you have already chosen to be the enemy of my Sun Tu and the entire Shandong soldiers, and the official will not spare you! Take them all down, watch them carefully, and when I set out for Liangshanbo, I will take their first class sacrifice flag!" ”

After the last sentence was spoken, these people were immediately frightened and screamed, some people cried and begged for mercy again, and some people shouted and scolded, saying that Sun Tu would be punished for such indiscriminate killing, but Sun Tu turned a deaf ear to their words, and only waved his hand disdainfully, and asked someone to take them all down.

This scene also completely suppressed Zeng Kaiqian, he really didn't expect Sun Tu to be so decisive, and at the same time his heart was cold, these people were going to be killed, so what about himself, the culprit? However, after knowing that begging for mercy was useless, he didn't want to weaken his identity, so he raised his eyes and looked at Sun Tu: "Sun Tu, aren't you afraid that such indiscriminate killing will shake the army's heart?" These generals are all the commanders of the state capitals, and those soldiers and horses are all brought by them! ”

"So what? Do you think these people can really convince the soldiers under their command? You can ask the soldiers below to see if they are willing to follow my Sun Tu and make contributions, or are they willing to be miserable by these guys, and they don't even have a minimum of dignity! Sun Tu replied with disdain, and then looked at the soldiers who had been standing in a solemn state, and suddenly shouted: "Everyone answer me, whose food are you eating, whose salary are you taking, and who are you loyal to?" ”

Originally, there was a standard answer to this question, if you went to the township army in other state capitals, or the border army of the forbidden army, you would get the answer: "Eat the grain of the imperial court, take the salary of the imperial court, and be loyal to the official family!" But when they arrived in Qingzhou, in the face of this problem, the soldiers did not hesitate to give an answer that shocked Zeng Kaiqian's body and stunned: "I will wait to eat the grain of the capital eunuch, take the salary of the capital eunuch, be loyal to the capital eunuch, and obey the orders of the metropolitan eunuch!" ”

The neatness of the voice and the firmness of the tone made it easy to hear that this was their heartfelt answer, without the slightest reluctance!

After a long time, Zeng Kaiqian pointed at Sun Tu and said, "You...... You are so bold, you really regard the official army as a private army, you really have a heart of disobedience! Aren't you afraid that the court will destroy your three clans if they find out? ”

"It's not something I taught them, it's their own perception. Moreover, this is not only the cognition of the Qingzhou Army, after a few months of training here, even the soldiers and horses of other state capitals have slowly recognized this identity, who told us that the Song Dynasty has always looked down on us as soldiers? Sun Tuhe replied with a smile: "So Zeng Jianjun, I advise you that if you don't want to die, don't think about making any trouble, and be an obedient puppet in my Qingzhou City, I can still keep you, otherwise, ......"

Although Sun Tu didn't say the threatening words, just this glance had already made Zeng Kaiqian's heart cold, and he felt as if he was being targeted by a vicious beast, and his life was hanging by a thread.

It's not that there are no loyal people in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, but as long as they are high-ranking officials at the level of squire, there is no such dead-eyed, at least he once opened a cadre is not such a person who is willing to kill himself and become a benevolent, and he will abandon his own safety for the sake of the so-called righteousness of the court - if he is really such a person, he will not be used by Cai Jing. Therefore, in the face of Sun Tu's threat of such a red fruit, the choice he made was naturally to admit defeat and bow his head: "This official ...... This official is according to you. ”

"Those who know the times are Junjie, as long as you are willing to cooperate with the army, the credit for the thief will be indispensable to you." Sun Tu said, taking another step forward. When Zeng Kaiqian was still a little frightened and wanted to avoid it, he was helped up from the ground: "In the future, you can also come to the army to take a look, this officer will not do things absolutely well, and I hope you don't want to test my bottom line again." ”

As he spoke, he squinted at the other party again: "Don't think that no one will know what you have done, since you can win over the people around the official, then I can naturally do the same thing." So in the end, your failure today is due to lack of prudence. ”

This remark made Zeng Kaiqian's heart feel a thrill, and then he knew why he had lost so badly this time. But before he could calm down, Sun Tu had already spoken again: "Come on, send Zeng Jianjun back." Then send someone to guard the side of the line, and I must not let outsiders contact the prison army, in case someone will be unfavorable to him! ”

"Yes!" At that moment, more than a dozen soldiers with big shoulders and round waists stepped forward and "invited" Zeng Kaiqian to leave. Obviously, this is to put this imperial court envoy and the local prison under house arrest.

In such a situation, no matter how much dissatisfaction Zeng Kaiqian had, he could only accept this helpless fact, and was aggrieved and was "escorted" back to Xingyuan. In his vision, the operation to seize control of the entire army was a complete failure.

It wasn't until Zeng Kaiqian was taken away that a group of subordinate generals came over, and some people praised: "All the means are supervised, so that this guy will no longer dare to make trouble in my Qingzhou City, and he will no longer dictate our actions." ”

Some people were not angry: "It's still cheaper for him, he should have been taken down and executed!" ”

Some people also expressed their doubts in their hearts: "Eunuch, is it really foolproof to let him go back like this?" Of course, we are not afraid of any small moves from him in the city, but what about once we set out to fight for Liangshan? Without the suppression of the capital eunuch, maybe this guy will be doing something in the dark again. ”

This concern is naturally reasonable, and after mentioning it, many people also echoed it: "Yes, the eunuch, it's better to get rid of him, it's a hundred ......."

"It's easy to kill someone, but have you ever thought about the consequences? After all, he is a messenger of the imperial court, aren't you afraid of being regarded as a thief by the imperial court? At that time, the imperial court will pour hundreds of thousands of troops to attack, can we hold Qingzhou? Sun Tu glanced at them angrily: "Many things in the world are not something that can be done by thinking about it, and you have to weigh the pros and cons, and you have to stop when it's time to stop." If you really don't worry about him, you can take him with you. ”

"Ah...... But ......" There were still people who wanted to persuade something, but Sun Tu had already waved his hand: "I have made up my mind, so there is no need to mention this matter again." At present, our enemies are still Liangshan bandits, and our top priority is to continue to train our troops, and when the time is ripe, it is time to go on the expedition. ”

Seeing that he said this, the subordinate generals didn't dare to say anything more, and they all clenched their fists and took their lives.

When they dispersed, Zhu Wucai looked at Sun Tu thoughtfully: "The capital prison should have other preparations, right?" ”

"Hehe, the military advisor who knows me is also." Sun Tu said with a smile: "I have already set the bait today, presumably as long as Zeng Kaiqian understands well enough, he can see the problem." And I believe that as a human being, he will never tolerate traitors around him. And what I have to do is to wait for him to do it himself, and then take the handle and let him completely obey my will! ”

It's not time to finish the design of Zeng Kaiqian this time......
