Even though he was mentally prepared, when Sun Tu came to the north of Qingzhou City the next day and saw the so-called military camp and soldiers, he was still stunned for a long time before he accepted the facts in front of him with great difficulty.

The barracks in front of them were like refugee camps, with only a few barracks. Apart from the place where the wooden fence was built in front of them, there were no other walled portals. Although there were indeed a few soldiers guarding there, just looking at their weak appearance, you can tell that it was just a vain. It would be impossible for someone to steal the barracks to steal it. Of course, judging from the situation of this barracks, no one would spend any effort to sneak into it.

As for the military camp, it was quiet at this time, with only two or three figures walking around. Not to mention practicing, even daily activities like the Jiangzhou official army were not visible. The so-called Qingzhou Xiangjun military camp looked completely a ruined empty camp at this time.

After exhaling several sips of turbid air in succession, Sun Tu immediately stepped forward, and their arrival immediately aroused the vigilance of the four guards. They immediately raised their spears in their hands and shouted: "The military camp is in the important area, and the idle people are still not retreating!"

At this time, there was no need for Sun Tu to deal with it personally. A Jiangzhou soldier stepped forward and shouted, "Bold, this is the new Qingzhou governor General Sun. Why don't you go to see him quickly?" Sun Tu had already taken out his seal and gave them a look.

Under the blazing sunlight at the end of May, the golden seal issued by the court flashed with dazzling light, which made the four guards' eyes straight. After a moment, they realized it and immediately knelt down to see: "I'm a little man who pays homage to Sun Dujian. I don't know how disrespectful the governor is to come, so I'd like to ask the general to punish him."

"Get up, you, bring me the official into the camp." Sun Tu did not mean to make things difficult for them, and pointed at the hungry military soldier in front of him, who was in his thirties and looked hungry. The few people did not dare to be negligent, so they quickly moved the wooden fence behind him aside, and then led Sun Tu into this area from the head of the military soldier that was pointed, which actually covers a considerable area, with more than ten acres of wing army camp.

Many people swayed straight into the camp, which naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the camp. But unexpectedly, the soldiers did not mean to cross-examine. They only ran back and stopped in front of the only decent barracks, and then reported a few words aloud. After a while, the two of them came out one after another, and a man about eight feet tall and strong as an iron tower. The man behind them looked a little thinner than him. However, when Sun Tu and Lu Da saw him, their expressions were stunned, and then they kicked the horse excitedly and quickly met the other party.

The man who came out of the barracks one step behind quickly showed surprise, and his figure swayed and quickly came up. When Sun Tu and the others jumped down from the horse, he had already rushed to the two of them, clasped his fists and said happily: "Sun Sanlang, Lu... Brother, I didn't expect that after two years of separation, it would be Qingzhou when you and I meet again!"

This person who made Sun Tu and the others perform slightly incompetent was their old friend - the 800,000 imperial guards coach Lin Chong, the leopard head.

It was not until this time that Sun Tu remembered that there was this section. Two years ago, Lin Chong was so anxious that he was threatened by Gao Qiu and his son, afraid of being harmed by him. At that time, it was Sun Tu who helped him, and through Tong Guan's relationship, he was transferred from Tokyo to Qingzhou as the deputy troupe training position. However, time had changed, and after that, there were too many changes, Sun Tu completely forgot about this section. Even after being transferred to Qingzhou, he did not expect that he had a good friend here.

"Brother Lin, I really didn't expect that you and I would meet again under such circumstances." Sun Tu hurriedly supported him: "There is no need to be too polite between you and me." With Lin Chong here, he wanted to control the military power of Qingzhou, but he was more confident.

Lu Da was also very happy to pat Lin Chong on the shoulder with his hands: "Teacher Lin, don't you be fine? You have suffered a lot in this Qingzhou military camp, right?"

Lin Chong smiled softly: "Although this place is indeed not as rich as Tokyo, I am still living a comfortable life here, at least I don't have to worry about being framed." He has always been a person who is not competing for indifferent things. As long as he can live with his wife safely, it is better than anything else.

While speaking, Yang Zhi and the others and the military man had already come over. After looking at Sun Tu for a few times, the latter clasped his fists and said, "Do you dare to ask if you are the new chief general Sun Tusun?"

Sun Tu nodded while looking at the other person, "It's me, I don't know you are again..."

"The last general, Yu Hou Qi Desheng, the Duke of the Qingzhou Xiangjun, had seen Sun Dujian." This person was a real person. As he spoke, he had already put on one knee in the military. Lin Chong was stunned for a moment and quickly followed him and said: "Lin Chong, the commander of the left camp of the Qingzhou Xiangjun, had met Sun Dujian."

Seeing that even Lin Chong was not too arrogant when he was giving this big gift, Sun Tu hurriedly stepped forward and helped them up: "You two don't have to be so polite, get up and talk quickly."

After the two of them responded, Lin Chong sighed again: "Although I had heard that the new governor of the capital was called Sun Tu, I just thought it was someone of the same name and surname. I didn't expect it to be a real Sanlang... You are here." The gap between the two sides widened, and he became obviously a little restrained.

Sun Tu was not good at being in front of others at this time, so he told Lin Chong not to be too polite, so he could only say modestly: "But by luck, he made some contributions, and recommended by senior officials in the court, he was promoted to the Chief Superintendent."

Lin Chong said happily: "Sun Dujian is too humble. It is reasonable to be promoted to Dujian in a few years with your ability. In comparison, it is a shame, but after two years, he is still just a small Duyuhou."

While speaking, several people had entered the barracks behind them. The decorations here were quite simple, with only a large table and a few wooden stools. At this time, there was a simple sheepskin map, plus two water bowls and a teapot.

Seeing Sun Tu and the others looking at the things in the room, Qi Desheng smiled embarrassedly: "I laughed at you, but there is really no decent place in this camp to entertain you. Please don't be disgusted, sit down and drink water to relieve fatigue first." After that, he ran out and asked someone to get a few large stone pottery bowls to put them on the table.

Taking this opportunity, Sun Tu asked about Lin Chong's situation in Qingzhou, said in a convenient and general way that everything was still acceptable, and finally added a little joyfully: "My wife gave me a son last year, and finally got rid of my thoughts."

"Oh? I really want to congratulate Brother Lin." Sun Tu couldn't help laughing happily when he heard this. Lu Da even continued: "Sa family must come to congratulate you in such a happy event. At that time, coach Lin, you have to prepare some wine and food to treat us."

"Of course, as long as Brother Lu and Sun... can go, I will definitely treat you with good wine and meat." Lin Chong hurriedly agreed.

After recounting this old story and drinking two sips of bland and cold water, Sun Tu then looked at the two new subordinates and got the main topic: "Since I am now the governor of Qingzhou and have the power and responsibility to command the Qingzhou official army, there are some things that need to be asked about. Why is this military camp so destruction so far? Also, according to the court regulations, there should be three thousand troops in this state. Even if there is a shortage, there should be thousands of people. Why are there only a dozen people in this camp now? Where have the others gone? Also, where are the other officials in this army? "

"This..." Lin Chong fell into silence for the time being, but Qi Desheng was less concerned and asked, "Didn't Sun Dujian, you didn't listen to the prefect Murong explain everything clearly? Because the court's insufficient funds, there were less than 600 troops left in our army. Now those people only gathered in the camp under the command of Commander Du. At other times, they were all working outside to support their families. As for the generals in the army, there were only a few Dutou and Du Yuhou left. Generally speaking, the last general and Lin Chong were guarding here..."

Sun Tu frowned frequently when he heard this. Although he had learned from Huang Wenbing that there were major problems in the army, he still did not expect that the problem would be so serious. The Qingzhou Xiang Army can no longer be called an army today, it is completely a mess.

Then, he thought of something and looked at Lin Chong: "Brother Lin, I remember that the court ordered you here as a deputy regiment training, but why did he become a battalion commander now?"

Lin Chong smiled bitterly: "These official positions are just an assignment, and they have nothing to do with it. Because there are no village soldiers in Qingzhou now, I was transferred to the Xiang army for command. Thanks to General Qi's help, otherwise..."

"Oh?" Sun Tu glanced at Qi Desheng thoughtfully, and the latter sighed and said, "Actually, the last general was the Qingzhou regiment before, and he was transferred to the position of Du Hou of Du of the Xiang army. General Lin had extremely outstanding martial arts skills. I really couldn't bear to have no use of his skills, so I thought of transferring him into the Xiang army, but I felt a little wronged."

Lin Chong hurriedly said that he did not feel wronged, but Sun Tu could see that both of them were actually quite aggrieved. No matter who it was, the good village soldier general was transferred to other people's hands and listened to them and could not accept it. What's more, their subordinates were almost no longer available at this time?

"Hmph, it seems that the situation of the Qingzhou Xiangjun is indeed urgent and must be resolved immediately!" Sun Tu's brows locked deeply: "Since I am transferred here, I should do something for this! Otherwise, I'm afraid that the people of Qingzhou will have a harder life, and some people will be more unscrupulous!"

Just as he said this, a mess of footsteps suddenly came from outside. There were quite a few people coming. Then, the door of the hidden barracks was suddenly pushed open with force, and a voice suddenly rang out outside: "Qi Desheng, Lin Chong, you two are so brave, you dare to let people into the military camp at will. Have you forgotten the military orders of this general?"
