Chapter 293 Commitment and determination
It was dusk after the banquet, and Sun Tu did not return to the military camp, but went straight back to his home. At this time, he was sitting in his study, looking at Tong Guan's handwritten letter with a slight sense of dismantling.
In fact, most of the contents of this letter are irrelevant. It was just Tong Guan expressed his concern and greetings to him, and mentioned that as long as Sun Tu can make a contribution in Qingzhou, he will think of his position in the capital to improve his position. However, the last point written makes Sun Tu pay special attention to it. The letter stated that Tong Guan will come to Shandong next year and may let him see you at that time.
"Is Tong Guan actually coming to Shandong? What is he for? Is it related to the Liao Kingdom in the north? But Shandong and Liao Kingdom are not connected. If they really want to move troops, they would not come here." Sun Tu held the letter and muttered softly, but he was really a little confused.
But he understood one thing that Tong Guan would definitely have a big event when he came to Shandong. After all, he was a privy envoy of the imperial court, holding military power, and it was impossible for him to leave Tokyo easily. However, the war between Song and Liao was still a little too early. What was he doing for?
At this time, the door of the room was gently pushed open. Ya'er, wearing a green dress, took a tray and walked into the room gently. Seeing Sun Tu looking at him, she said apologetically: "Third Brother, I see that you were a little drunk when you came back, so I specially prepared some sober soup, didn't disturb you, right?" As she spoke, she walked around the table and brought a bowl of fragrant sober soup to Sun Tu.
Sun Tu smiled at her and shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter." As he said that, he put down the letter in his hand, took the soup bowl from Ya'er, and at the same time, he half hugged her beside him. This intimate action made Ya'er's pretty face turn red, but she didn't make much struggle, and leaned on Sun Tu's shoulder sweetly.
Now Ya'er's body has grown. If she was a yellow-haired girl who was about to bloom a few years ago, she has now become a graceful little beauty. The relationship between them has become more and more intimate, and sometimes she will be gentle in private. Sun Tu was a little drunk at this time and smelled the unique tempting body fragrance of the girl. His heart was naturally itchy. While drinking soup, his hands became a little irregular.
Feeling the big hand going straight to the important point, Ya'er's heart was like a deer bumping into her, and her pretty face turned redder. In fact, she had long regarded Sun Tu as her husband, but Sun Tu always thought she was still young and did not really attack her, but the situation seemed a little different today.
"Third Brother..." Ya'er, who was already a little moved, murmured, and her body was getting closer and closer to Sun Tu. Even if Sun Tu really wanted her at this time, she would not object. But this scream made Sun Tu a little more awake, and he quickly pulled out his hand that had reached into the girl's clothes, with a little ashamed on his face. Why didn't he even have this little concentration?
After a while, Ya'er realized that the scammer's hand had left, but she became a little disappointed. Is she really not at all attractive? Sun Tu continued to hold her with one hand and said affectionately: "Ya'er, I still have too many things to do now, so I can't marry you for the time being. But believe me, and when everything is completely settled, I will announce to everyone that you are my wife." After pausing, he asked with some guilt: "I have always been unable to spend much time with you in the past few years. You won't blame me, right?"
After Ya'er received this guarantee, she felt like she had drunk honey. At this moment, she quickly shook her head and said, "Of course not. I know that third brother, you can't stay with me often for the sake of serious business. Ya'er has long been that ignorant little girl. I have also read a lot of books. If you know that a man should put your achievements first."
"It's good that you can understand. At most, wait for me for another year, and I will definitely marry you." Sun Tu was also moved in his heart. He hugged the girl hard. Smelling the fragrance at his nose, he couldn't help but peck on Ya'er's face.
Just as the two of them were in love with each other, a slightly embarrassed cough suddenly came from outside. They realized that there were two more people in front of the door at some point. This made Yaer scream softly, her face was covered with a layer of red cloth. She quickly got up, put away the soup bowl that had been drunk by Sun Tu, while tidying up her somewhat scattered hair, and then said hurriedly: "Third Brother, I'll leave..." Then she lowered her head and hurriedly left. Now that she was knocked out of her intimacy with the third brother, Yaer was very embarrassed, and she probably wouldn't dare to see other people for a few days.
Although Sun Tu was a little embarrassed, he was thick-skinned and just blushed slightly, and then he said to the two outside the door: "Brother Yang, Brother Huang, you really know how to pick things."
After entering the door, Yang Zhi and Huang Wenbing laughed dryly twice, without any more entanglements in this matter, and directly got to the point: "Main Registration, did you actually propose to suppress several parodies in Qingzhou this year?"
"Hmm? You guys know so soon?" Sun Tu immediately became serious and frowned. He had just returned from the banquet less than an hour or two, and they actually knew what happened during the meal?
"But not only us, but many people in the city already know this. By tomorrow, I'm afraid that the people in the city will know about your promise." Huang Wenbing said with some concern: "Dujian, it's only been a month since we really practiced troops. Isn't it too anxious to wipe out the bandits who occupy the mountains and become kings?"
Yang Zhi also agreed and said, "Yes, Sanlang, although our military training has not been effective, it is not easy to really eliminate the thieves in a few months, otherwise they would not have been in trouble with Qingzhou for many years."
What Sun Tu was most concerned about at this time was not how to fulfill his promise, but thought about the thought of the matter so quickly: "Then Murong Yanchao really had all the calculations. It took only more than an hour to let someone release the wind. This was not a chance to repent. If you want to use public opinion to force me to use military force against the bandits."
The two nodded in agreement: "Yes, now the people in the city are talking about this matter happily, so even if we want to go back on our word, we can't do it. What should we do?"
"Actually, this is not a big problem. Maybe it will be of great benefit to us." Sun Tu suddenly laughed again: "Originally, these bandits are the goals that we need to solve as soon as possible. Since he is helping with the publicity, it will be better."
"But..." Huang Wenbing wanted to say something, but Sun Tu waved his hand to stop him: "I know what you are worried about, because my official army cannot defeat those hills, or even suffer a defeat? In fact, there is no need to worry so much. Except for Erlong Mountain, the other two places in the three mountain villages in Qingzhou are not so steep and difficult to attack. As long as the official army has fighting spirit and is willing to follow orders, it is not too difficult to defeat them. Moreover, this is just the target of our military training on the spot, otherwise we will only practice ourselves in the city and outside the city, and our progress is limited. As for the possible casualties... it is actually that. There is no one who can't die in the war."
After pausing, he looked at the two of them and said, "And as long as we can really suppress one or two bastions, the reputation of our Xiangjun will definitely increase again. At that time, whether it is the government office or the other superiors' office, they will no longer have any objections to our Xiangjun. The people of Qingzhou will definitely look at us differently, and only then will we truly establish a firm foothold in Qingzhou."
His words were reasonable, which made the two who were originally a little uneasy calm down: "So, you didn't respond because you were designed by Murong Yanchao?"
"Of course not. Murong Yanchao can't do this." Sun Tu shook his head disdainfully. Then he said seriously: "But because we are going to wipe out the thief's hamlet next, we have to be more attentive in the next practice, so we can't let the soldiers slack off."
Seeing the two of them, Sun Tu remembered something again: "By the way, how much military rations are we taken today? Have you ever counted them?"
Speaking of this, Huang Wenbing laughed happily: "This time we have made a fortune. The amount of money and grain is not small, enough for my three thousand brigade army to spend a year."
When Sun Tu heard this, he was also happy: "I was worried that I would not have enough money and food in the future, but this time I solved my urgent problem. Not only that, since we have money and food in our hands, we can recruit troops in the city. I believe that many people in Qingzhou City are still willing to come to the army to find an errand." This is not his boast. It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to live in the barren land of Qingzhou. If the army can really get enough money and food, it would be quite attractive.
"Will the recruitment be held in two days?"
"Yes, we can start recruiting troops while we are in full swing recently." Sun Tu nodded, then snorted again: "It seems that I was too kind before, and I only let them spit out more than a thousand people's money and food. In fact, those corrupt officials have taken many benefits from our army. But it doesn't matter, there is still a chance. As long as we can punish a few parcels this year, I will completely drive Murong Yanchao out. By then, I will let him spit out all the money and interests of me as much as he has swallowed before!"
Feeling the murderous intent on Sun Tu, Huang Wenbing couldn't help but slammed his heart, and quickly swallowed the persuasion that came to his mouth. Since he arrived in Qingzhou, Sun Tu's courage has become more and more intense, and his methods have become much more intense than those in Jiangzhou. He didn't know whether he was so in nature or was inspired by Murong Yanchao.
