Seeing hundreds of trucks filled with food being pushed into the city by soldiers swaggering under the eyelids of the government officials, Murong Yanchao's face was extremely gloomy. When he looked at Wang Ping again, there was a lot of hostility in his eyes.

At this time, how could he not guess the other party's identity have any problems? I'm afraid it was the backer Tong Guan and others behind Sun Tu who secretly sent him over. He lost his ugly mistake this time and suffered a great loss. What's more important is, how could he complain? These two people are completely different. Even if he told the fact that he had already dominated the wing army in Qingzhou City and suppressed himself as the prefect in public, I'm afraid Wang Ping would also help Sun Tu hide it?

Although he was angry, Murong Yanchao was very cunning after all, and his face was ugly for a while, then he smiled and came up again: "Since Wang Tixia's errand has been handed over, I can't refuse my official's wishes. Let's go to the city to drink a few glasses of water and wine, and how many days to rest?"

After a little stunned, Wang Ping also smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Since the prefect Murong is so kind, how can the subordinate officials not be polite? Thank you for this."

Seeing this, Sun Tu hurriedly said to the side: "I wonder if the officials are lucky enough to be on the table together? I think the prefect Murong will not be stingy with that little bit of wine and meal, right?"

"Haha, even if you have a lot of alcohol and food, I can still afford it. Moreover, when you came to Qingzhou that day, I did not hold a banquet to greet you, so I will make up for it today. Please—" Murong Yanchao had completely restored his previous spirit at this time, and made a gesture with a smile, and led his subordinates to strode away, and at the same time, he had a secret decision in his heart.

Sun Tu heard that the other party was sarcastic about his wine bag, but he was not angry. He just smiled faintly and made a gesture to invite Wang Ping, so he walked in half a step behind the other party, which was enough to give this person a face. As for the officers and soldiers who were in the transfer office, they followed them into the city, and then the officials and military camps came forward to greet him.

After setting a certain distance from Murong Yanchao and others in front of him, Wang Ping glanced back at Sun Tu, lowered his voice and said, "Sun Dujian is really not simple. He has been able to compete with Murong Yanchao in just over a month. As mentioned in Tong Shumi's letter, this Murong Prefect is a matter of words in Qingzhou, and many officials who come here have no good ending." This shows his identity and origin in person.

Sun Tu had already guessed his identity, and just smiled when he heard this: "It's just a little luck, it's nothing. But Wang Tieshi, you came here this time, really helped me a lot, otherwise even if I could suppress him for a while, as long as the army's food and salary is still in the hands of the government office, he would always be countered."

"Haha, it's easy to say. In addition, Tong Shumi also asked me to pass on a message to you. If you can monopolize the power of Qingzhou, even if Murong Yanchao is eliminated, as long as there is a legitimate excuse, he can help you withstand the pressure of the court." Wang Ping lowered his voice again and said in a voice that only two people could hear.

When Sun Tu heard this, his eyebrows suddenly raised. Unexpectedly, Tong Guan was even more anxious than himself. But I think so, he couldn't fight Gao Qiu in the court. Now Gao Qiu has joined forces with Liang Shicheng, and I'm afraid his situation will be getting worse. This requires his local forces to make some responses to boost the morale of the people below.

Of course, Sun Tu didn't believe that Tong Guan was able to keep his word. He did his job properly in Jiangzhou and helped Cai Jiu get rid of his confidant troubles. But what was the result? He was not that Liang Shicheng and the others had found a reason to send him to Qingzhou. At that time, Tong Guan had no intention of protecting himself. Since this was the case before, when he really got rid of Murong Yanchao, Tong Guan might not be able to keep his promise and protect himself after the court blamed him.

Anyway, others are unreliable, and the most trustworthy thing is their own strength. Therefore, the key is to train the Qingzhou Army into an elite army as soon as possible. As for whether to eliminate Murong Yanchao, we can only wait and see.

Seeing that Sun Tu fell silent after hearing this, Wang Ping didn't say anything more. He just passed on a sentence, and in terms of status and importance to Tong Guan could not be compared with Sun Tu, so he naturally didn't dare to ask more questions. It was not until Sun Tu returned to his senses that he took out a letter from his arms and handed it over: "This is a letter written by Tong Shumi, and it is also for you." To be honest, he really envied Sun Tu. A small capital in Qingzhou could actually make Tong Shumi value it so much. Not only did he send him to help him, but he also sent him a letter written by himself.

Sun Tu was also a little strange, but he still thanked him and took the letter into his sleeve. Of course, it is difficult to check the contents of the letter now, so it is not too late to wait until he returns to the military camp later.

The two then walked and talked about other things, and soon arrived at a three-story restaurant, which was the largest Guiyan Building in Qingzhou City. Today, Murong Yanchao set up the banquet here.

At this time, when the people in the restaurant saw the arrival of the government, they quickly led the people out to see the ceremony by the shopkeeper, and then welcomed the people into the building with a flattering smile. Today, the three-story restaurants were completely booked by the government office, so there were no other guests. The officials of the government office and some officials of the transfer corps office could also drink and eat on the first and second floors. As for the third floor, they were used to entertain distinguished guests, only Murong Yanchao, Fang Ping, Shen Bian and other important officials of the government office, as well as Sun Tu and Wang Ping, so it seemed particularly empty here.

Although there were not many people attending the table, the wine and food on the third floor were really not bad. Murong Yanchao originally planned to treat the visitors well so as to use his strength to deal with Sun Tu. Now things have not been done, but the wine and food have been ordered, so he can't refund it. And Sun Tu was cheaper.

Compared to the gentle appearance of these civil servants who were from the imperial examinations, Sun Tu and Wang Ping began to eat and drink after sitting down. In addition to the necessary social engagements with these government officials, Wang Ping was more of a cup of tea and talked about military or martial arts to each other, which was really a bit of a no-one.

In fact, although Wang Ping acted so casually, it seemed that he would not give Murong Yanchao and the others face at all, in fact, this was also his cleverness. He had long seen that the struggle in Qingzhou City had become a trend of water and fire, and he didn't want to interfere with it, and he didn't want Murong Yanchao to say in front of him that Sun Tu's fault. Should he report it truthfully? So it would be better to just point out the position, so the other party would not be able to speak.

Of course, his performance still attracted a lot of dissatisfaction among several officials in the government office, so when the wine was half over, the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more deserted, leaving only him and Sun Tu toast each other from time to time.

Seeing that the banquet was about to end in a bad mood, Murong Yanchao suddenly raised his glass and smiled at Sun Tu and said, "Sun Dujian, I want to toast you with a glass of wine. Since you came to Qingzhou, the army of this city has been much stronger than before. This is a contribution that those generals in the past cannot do."

Sun Tu raised his glass to respond, and then drank the wine, then smiled and said, "The prefect is too good, and the subordinates are just doing what they should do. Since he is the governor of Qingzhou, he naturally needs to find ways to strengthen the strength of our army."

"Well said." Murong Yanchao had already had a solution, and at this time he put on a glass of wine and toasted: "Since that's the case, I'll ask Sun Dujian to drink this glass again. I have some important matters to ask."

Sun Tu was not in a hurry to drink any more, but just looked at the other party with a smile: "What is the prefect who has given me but said that, the subordinates can't take the word "support". Sure enough, Murong Yanchao could not admit defeat easily.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. In Qingzhou, the military has not prospered, and bandits have been rampant in the country. Just over a month ago, a massacre of all the people in the village were massacred by bandits. I am really ashamed. But now, with Sun Dujian, you will revive the military affairs in Qingzhou. I want to eliminate the bandits in the country in an instant. I hope Sun Dujian will not refuse. By the way, I would like to ask Wang Tizhi ​​to testify for such important matters. I wonder what you think?" In the end, Murong Yanchao had already set his sights on Wang Ping.

Sun Tu frowned slightly, and he already knew why he had done this. This was clearly intended to let himself and his troops take risks. Although the wing army was already a bit large, it seemed to others that they had just established a new position after all. It was probably not the opponent of the bandits who had been rampant in the local area for many years and had occupied the geographical advantage.

As long as he makes a mistake in combating thieves and loses his troops and generals, his previous momentum will reverse again. Even if he does not have any problems in combating thieves, as long as he transfers the Xiang army from Qingzhou City, Murong Yanchao, who has been rooted here for many years, may have the chance to turn over.

It was just that his intention was the same, but Sun Tu could not refuse his request, because this was his duty as the governor of Qingzhou, and Wang Ping was there next to him. If he complained or something, Wang Ping could still help conceal it, but it was difficult for him to pretend not to know anything about it. Maybe when the matter was spread, his responsibility would be great.

Murong Yanchao was still unwilling to give up, but he could no longer dodge this move, so he could only take it. After Sun Tu had an idea, he smiled and said, "What the Prime Minister Murong said is very serious. Several bandits and bandits in Qingzhou are indeed very harmful. In fact, even if you don't mention it, I already want to suppress them one by one. However, now the wing army has just been trained again and cannot go out for the moment. I have to give me some more time to train troops."

"Oh? I wonder how long it will take for Sun Dujian? The situation in Qingzhou is getting worse and worse, but I can't wait for too long."
