When I saw Cai Dezhang in the public room of the prefectural official hall, Sun Tu's first reaction was to secretly shout in his heart, because the prefect of Jiangzhou, who was despised as Cai Jiu in the Water Margin story, was really handsome, with the handsome national character and facial features that matched very well. The three wisps of beard under the chin gave people a feeling of easy-goingness and elegance, which made people unable to help but want to get close to him.

Sun Tu asked himself that he had seen many handsome men in the capital, including himself, as well as Tong Mu, Fang Qian, Han Changzhou and others, all of them had eye-catching characteristics, but they were too far behind the prefect Cai in front of him, which made him feel a little ashamed of himself.

However, as Cai Dezhang spoke, he finally came to his senses: "I have heard that Sun Tuanzhi has made great achievements in Tokyo, but I don't want you to be so young. You are really a hero and a young man."

Then Sun Tu bowed to see you, saying that the prefect was praised. The prefect had a gentle smile on his face, which fully showed the gentle and gentle feeling of a humble gentleman, and then continued: "I should have seen you two days ago, but because I heard that you had not yet met Yuan Tuanguan, I delayed for two days. I wonder if you have ever met your direct boss today?"

Sun Tu shook his head with a wry smile: "The officials have been to the prefecture yamen for several days for a few days, but Yuan Xuanguan has been busy with official duties, so he is not allowed to see him..."

"Oh? As the new Jiangzhou team trainer, you have a responsibility for your duty. Such delay is not a solution. It seems that this is a little negligent, or he has the intention to sharpen his temper. As far as I know, although Yuan's attitude towards his military officers is a little strict, he will not have any malice." After a pause, he said again: "Let me do this, let me come forward and take you to see Yuan's official. He will not be able to avoid him anymore. You can also take office as soon as possible and take over the related errands." As he said that, he stood up after the case without waiting for Sun Tu to respond. His figure was actually quite tall, half a head taller than Sun Tu.

Sun Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, and he already understood the other party's true intention to say these things. Although Cai Dezhang did not say anything bad about Yuan Wang in front of him, nor did he point out that Sun Tu came to Jiangzhou to help him deal with Yuan Wang according to Cai Jing's intention, he had already hidden the intention of letting Sun Tu stand on his side. In the end, this seemingly enthusiastic decision directly made Sun Tu stand on the side.

Because as long as Sun Tu followed Taishou Cai to meet Yuan Wang, his confidants would be marked with his confidants. Next, whether in order to fulfill his previous promise or to protect himself, Sun Tu must stand opposite Yuan Wang and fight with his direct superior.

Cai Dezhang seemed to be gentle and gentle, but in terms of methods, he was probably much more intelligent than Yuan Wang, who was in a clear manner. What shocked Sun Tu even more was that he had no choice at this time because he did not dare to offend both of his main bosses before he had established a foothold in Jiangzhou. With only one choice, he seemed to be able to turn to Cai Dezhang now.

After understanding his situation, Sun Tu did not hesitate anymore. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "The official thanked the prefect for his care." This showed his attitude, which made Prefect Cai smiled with satisfaction. He just walked out of the official hall with several followers and turned to Yuan Wang's territory.

Yuan Wang couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he saw Cai Dezhang bringing Sun Tu personally. The two nasolabial folds seemed deeper at this moment. But in the blink of an eye, a humble smile appeared on his slightly mean face. He quickly walked up to him and bowed to Cai Dezhang from a distance and said, "Prince, you are so arrogant that you really scared the officials. Do you have any instructions to send someone to summon the officials here and go there immediately, why should you come here in person?"

"Hey, I know that Yuan Tuan Guan is busy with official duties, and I am afraid that his subordinates will disturb you if they are not good at doing things, so I came here by myself. What is this?" Cai Dezhang had already stepped forward at this time and helped Yuan Wang, who bent down to salute, up: "The state push does not need to be so polite."

If someone who didn't know the inside story was watching, he would only think that the relationship between the two major officials of the state yamen was extremely harmonious and there was no grudge. But in Sun Tu's eyes, it was another different feeling. The two bosses' cultivation of energy and acting skills were really much better than themselves. They had already regarded each other as their opponents, but they were still able to talk happily at this time, so that people could not see any problems.

The two of them were polite again and then went into the public housing one after another. Sun Tu followed in at the prefect Cai’s instructions and accompanied the last seat. It was not until a servant gave the tea to all three of them that Yuan Wang looked at Sun Tu and asked Cai Dezhang: “The prefect came here for this little thing today?”

"There is nothing trivial in the army. Sun Tuanlian came to the court, but he had been delayed in the city for several days. I was afraid that the reputation of Yuzhou Pushing you would be damaged, so I brought him to pay a visit." Cai Dezhang smiled and said with a stern face: "But my real purpose today is to raise an army to punish you."

Originally, Yuan Wang wanted to explain, but the last sentence of Prefect Cai surprised him and immediately focused on this point: "Why did the prefect say this? But did the subordinate do something wrong?" He was really nervous. After all, the two of them were secret for a long time. If Cai Jiu really had some evidence, he might not be able to withstand it.

Seeing the other party's sudden expression, Cai Dezhang laughed: "Of course you did something wrong. Two days ago, the prefect held a banquet in Xunyang Tower to entertain the gentry and great merchants in the city, but he specially recommended you to the state to appease everyone's heart. But you, you actually refused this matter, which really made me very dissatisfied."

When Yuan Wang heard that it was just because of this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled bitterly and said, "The officials knew that they were guilty, but they really couldn't take time to attend the banquet that day. I hope the prefect will forgive me." After pausing, he glanced at Sun Tu again: "Actually, I should have met when Sun Tuan came to Jiangzhou. It was because of the busy business, so I had to delay it again and again."

"Oh? What are you busy with in the state? Why do I, the prefect, have no idea?" Cai Dezhang narrowed his eyes and asked.

"It's not the aftermath of the defeat of the bandits on the Yangtze River a month ago. Such military pragmatism is really complicated, and the subordinates have not yet fully dealt with it, so they dare not let the prefect bother." Although Yuan Wang said politely, he actually blocked Cai Dezhang from military affairs.

When Sun Tu saw Cai Dezhang's brows, he knew that it was time for him to show off. He immediately coughed and said, "Zhoutui, in fact, Xiaguan is here to rectify military affairs in Jiangzhou. If you have any difficulties, just ask Xiaguan to do it..."

"There is no place for you to interrupt when I talk to the prefect. It's really unruly!" Before he finished speaking, Yuan Wang had already lowered his face and scolded him, and his official power was immediately pressing towards Sun Tu.

Sun Tu didn't expect this guy to be so ruthless, and he couldn't help but be stunned. But this pressure was just a little bit for him, so he just stood up and hugged and fisted: "It's because the official has lost his etiquette, and I hope the state will forgive him." After saying that, he sat back without waiting for the other party to react, looking like he was indifferent.

Yuan Wang felt that his pressure fell into the void and was slightly stunned. Then he looked at Sun Tu with some seriousness. This young military officer in his twenties really has some skills. No wonder he was sent to Jiangzhou to sing a stage drama with him.

Cai Dezhang, who looked at this change coldly, smiled and said, "There is no need to be angry at Zhoutui. Sun Tuan was a martial artist, so it is understandable that he is not good at etiquette. Sun Tuan, you have to be more careful in the future, and you can't be so casual anymore. Yuanzhoutui has always been known for his rigor in the army."

After Sun Tu said this on the ground, Yuan Wang nodded: "I shouldn't be angry with a martial artist. As for why he doesn't use the new regiment training, the reason is very simple. After this setback, the soldiers were injured. Even the Zhou Xuan Zhou regiment, which the village soldiers obeyed, was dismissed from office. If Sun Tuan Jian was letting him go to the ground at this time, it would be counterproductive. This is something that I dare not do. I must first calm the morale of the army, and then let him take office, it will be much easier."

Sun Tu could hear that the other party was clearly protecting himself, but in fact he was pointing out that his ability was limited, so it was impossible for the Jiangzhou Township soldiers to convince and obey the orders.

"I don't think so. Although I have not led the army, I understand the principle of sharing weal and woe. Now these rural soldiers are in a state of anxiety and loss. If Sun Tuanlian can come forward to boost morale at this time, it will be of great benefit to him in control of the army. Sun Tu, what do you think? Do you dare to take office as soon as possible?" At the end of the day, Cai Dezhang had already looked at Sun Tu.

Yuan Wang didn't expect that Taishou Cai, who had always been indifferent to military affairs, had such insights. He was speechless and hesitantly looked at Sun Tu, wondering what choice this new subordinate would make.

Of course, Sun Tu knew that his next attitude would determine his position in Jiangzhou in the future. Once he chose to join forces with Cai Dezhang, he would have no chance of remorse. He could only use a knife in his hand to fight Yuan Wang until he completely eliminated it.

But at this point, he had no choice. From the moment he was summoned to the state yamen, he had actually had the answer, so he stood up under the gaze of his two superiors, clasped his fists and said seriously: "Since the lower official was ordered by the court to come to Jiangzhou to serve as a troupe training position, he should do his best to train troops. This is indeed a good opportunity. Please allow Yuanzhou to approve it!"
