Zheng Guan, who suddenly woke up this, was shocked. Then he realized that he had been taken the initiative by Sun Tu without realizing it. This was a situation he rarely encountered in the past.

As the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in charge of the prison, Zheng Guan’s official power is more powerful than that of ordinary officials. Not to mention the people, even ordinary officials will feel nervous when they see him, especially when he investigates the officials involved in the case, even the officials who are the largest, will be trembling. But today, the situation has completely reversed. Sun Tu is indeed beyond ordinary people.

"This may be related to my rush to see him today, and I am alone. Otherwise, if the imperial envoy is launched, the situation will be very different." After finding a step in my heart, Zheng Guan looked at Sun Tu again: "Sun Dujian, I heard that you are doing absurdly in Qingzhou this time and are actually interested in recruiting women into the army. Is this a matter?" This is the reason why he changed his established policy.

Sun Tu didn't see any discomfort when he was staring at him. He still smiled calmly: "Zheng Shaoqing is indeed well-informed and knew about this when he came to Qingzhou. Yes, as the official said before, because of the loss of soldiers and generals in the past six months, the number of soldiers in the Qingzhou army has dropped sharply, and he cannot recruit all-purpose soldiers for a while, so he can only recruit some women to the camp first..."

"Absurd!" Zheng Guan immediately rebuked loudly, "Sun Dujian, your approach is too ridiculous! I have never heard of any official army composed of women since ancient times. Now you are recruiting women to the camp here with great fanfare. Once it is spread, how do people in the world view my Song Dynasty court? This is not only the damage to your reputation, but also the court will become a laughing stock!"

After pausing, he even slapped the coffee table and said, "Sun Dujian, listen to my advice and stop your ridiculous actions immediately. It's not too late to repair the sheep after losing her body!"

Sun Tu frowned unhappily for the first time: "Zheng Shaoqing, because you are an imperial envoy, I have always respected you, but is it too much that you say this? When will you, a Shaoqing of Dali Temple, come and ask about the matter in the Qingzhou army?"

"You... I am a heartfelt official. Are you afraid that you will be impeached by the government and the public after the matter is spread? Don't say that you have a clear conscience. Once some things are done, there will be problems in the eyes of others. Recruiting female soldiers in the army, hey, I'm afraid in the eyes of many people, Sun Dujian wants to set up a military prostitute in the army!"

This time, not only did Sun Tu's face look bad, but the soldiers around him also showed anger. If they hadn't had any concerns, these people would have already scolded Zheng Guan. After several changes in his face, Sun Tu finally breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed his anger and said, "It seems that Zheng Shaoqing is too prejudiced to women, and he would actually say such words. But in my Sun Tu's opinion, although women are physically weaker than men, as long as they have the intention of serving the country and guarding their families, they will be the same in the army and can become the best soldiers in my Song Dynasty."

Faced with his remarks, Zheng Guan still had a disapproval. In his concept, those weak women and soldiers were simply unrelated things, so how could they be confused?

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Sun Tu could only say: "Since Zheng Shaoqing refused to believe me, let's talk with facts. Didn't you just say that you suspect that the sue was wrong? Then you can go to the military camp now and ask the soldiers there in person what they think of He Mo and others. Also, hundreds of female soldiers have been recruited in the Qingzhou military camp recently. Zheng Shaoqing can also go to the scene to see if those women are really weaker than men!"

Zheng looked at Sun Tu for a few times, and saw that he didn't seem to be polite, and after weighing the pros and cons, he nodded and said, "Then I will go to your Qingzhou military camp as you said, and have a good experience." He could not accept the statement that a woman was not weaker than a man in the army.

Sun Tu was a person who did what he said, so he immediately stood up and invited Zheng Guan to go out together. Several people rode their horses and headed straight to the military camp. When they were still a distance away from there, everyone had already heard the shouts of shouts during the exercise, which made Zheng Guan look up to Sun Tu a few times.

Zheng Guan, who has been an official in Bianjing, has seen the situation with the imperial guards. On weekdays, the imperial guards have no training at all. They will only practice for a while before some major celebrations are held. Moreover, the shouts of tens of thousands of people there are soft and cannot be compared with the majestic sounds heard at this time.

With this point, we can see that Sun Tu is indeed good at training troops, and he is deeply in love with the soldiers under his command, otherwise they would not have practiced so hard. Zheng Guan also knew that this was not something Sun Tu deliberately performed for him. One was too sudden to reveal his identity, and the other party had no time to prepare. The other was not able to perform this kind of training momentum.

When he arrived at the gate where the surroundings were relatively deserted and there were no idle people waiting to appear, he just raised his eyes and let Zheng Guan feel cold again. He saw more than ten treated heads hanging above the gate, which made people feel scared.

Seeing his reaction, Sun Tu smiled and explained: "Zheng Shaoqing, these heads are He Mo and others. They will cause our Qingzhou army to lose troops and lose generals. We should deal with it like this to serve as a warning to others!"

"So that's it..." Zheng Guan, who was a little panicked, no longer had the aggressiveness he had when he was in the government office, nor did he accuse Sun Tu of being too arrogant and insulting the court's dignity. However, some dead rabbits and foxes glanced at the row of heads sadly before dismounting and following Sun Tu and the others into the military camp.

To his surprise, even though Sun Tu, the Qingzhou military chief, was the leader of the Qingzhou military, the soldiers guarding the gate still came forward to stop it with responsibilities until they checked the waist sign before they could only let them enter. Seeing such strict rules, Zheng Guan's three words "Xi Liuying" flashed through his mind.

When he entered the military camp, the shouting sound became louder, and Zheng Guan finally saw with his own eyes how the Qingzhou army was practicing-

I saw several square formations arranged in the large open space on the left side of the military camp, thousands of soldiers were lined up. At this time, they were all holding wooden guns, shouting the word "kill" with the order of a general in front, and took a step forward and stabbed forward with a long spear, as if there was really an enemy rushing towards him in front.

What made Zheng Guan amazed was that the movements of these soldiers were almost completely consistent and uniform. Whether they were taking steps, taking out guns, or retreating, everyone advanced and retreating, without a distinction between order and order. In this way, although it was only a team of thousands of people, it had already shown a terrifying momentum that was difficult for tens of thousands of people to show. Coupled with their loud shouts, it was even more like a thousand troops to break through.

"Turn left!" A sudden shout from behind made Zheng Guan stunned again. Then he turned his head and looked back subconsciously, and then saw a scene that made him dumbfounded - he saw more than 300 short and beautiful young soldiers standing on the right school field that he had just ignored just now. No, they were not young soldiers, but female soldiers!

After a few closer glances, Zheng Guan was surprised to find that these more than 300 people were actually female soldiers whom he considered useless. At this time, although they looked thin, the stubbornness and unyielding spirit that they stood there still shocked people.

Everyone stood upright there, even though someone was trembling slightly in the middle, none of them screamed. Although the sun above their heads was not as fierce as in midsummer, it was still hot and hot just after noon. But even though these female soldiers were sweating profusely, they did not relax at all. Let the sweat flow down their cheeks, but none of them reached out to wipe it, just like bronze statues.

Although these female soldiers simply stood up and made the simplest movements of standing attentively and turning around in the call of the female general in front of him, the impact on Zheng Guan was greater than that of the male soldiers on the other side. He looked blankly for a while before he reacted: "This...this...this...this...this is the female soldiers you recruited into the camp?"

"Yes, they are real female soldiers." Sun Tu said with some joy: "Not everyone can enter my Qingzhou military camp. Even female soldiers must be strong enough, hard-working, and willing to follow orders. Now these female soldiers are actually the widows of soldiers who died in battle. Their husbands were killed by the Liangshan bandits, so they wanted to avenge their husbands. Even though the training in my camp was extremely harsh, they still survived."

Speaking of this, Sun Tu's expression was solemn: "So I hope Zheng Shaoqing can give them some respect, don't insult these real heroines with words like military prostitutes. Because in the hearts of our Qingzhou soldiers, they are the same as us, and they are also charisma, and they can entrust life and death and back, and the most trustworthy comrades-in-arms!"

"I... I am very proud of my education. I was indeed a bit abrupt before." Faced with this shocking scene, even if I was prejudiced against female soldiers, Zheng Guan had to admit that they did have the potential to become real soldiers. In a sense, these women were more like an army than most of the men in the world of the Song Dynasty.

But after a moment of silence, he still hesitated: "But after all, there is a difference between men and women. There is such a female soldier in the military camp, and the military is in a military style..."

"My family's chief supervisor has already taken precautions. Did Shaoqing see that line?" Yang Zhi pointed to a conspicuous red line specially drawn in front of him and said: "Using this line as the boundary, men and women are separated, not only ordinary soldiers, but also generals such as us who dare to cross the line without authorization under military orders will also be determined to be killed. At least in the past ten days, no one has dared to cross the line without orders."
