"Sun Dujian!" Seeing that Sun Tu was about to seize Duan Yu's military power in a few words, the latter had long lost the courage to resist at this time, and he didn't even dare to say anything doubtful. Shen Danian finally couldn't help but speak in a deep voice.

Because he knew that he would not object, once the matter came true, Zibo would become another Qingzhou city with the final say. He didn't want to follow the footsteps of Murong Yanchao and Gao Xiang, so he stared at Sun Tu and said, "You said that the official is in charge, and what you do yourself will only be more excessive! When will it be your turn to be the outsider in Zibo? Also, if you don't have the Ministry of War to investigate and cooperate with the Privy Council, why do you have to remove Duan Dujian from his official position and seize his military power?"

"Just because I am the military chief of Jingdong Road, which was granted by the court, I have the right to intervene in the military affairs of the states and prefectures during the war, and the transfer of generals is within the scope of my authority!" Sun Tu looked back at the other party calmly, without any guilt.

"It's not the time of war..." Shen Danian hurriedly raised questions, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Tu: "Prince Chen, you are wrong. Now it's time of war. Don't think that this official has lifted the siege of Dongping Prefecture, which means peace. I am ordered to clear out the Liangshan bandits. Now the troops and horses of the states need to cooperate to get rid of this big trouble. Since the troops and horses in Zibo do not listen to the call, I have the right to arrange for others to be the chief supervisor of this state."

"You..." Shen Danian was anxious and was waiting to say something, but Sun Tu no longer gave him this opportunity: "Prince Chen, I said that the military matters will not be a burden to you as a civil servant. If you dare to talk nonsense and disrupt our military morale, don't blame me for being rude to you. Now everything in Shandong is about being able to pacify the Liangshan bandits. Whoever dares to ruin this major event may collude with the Liangshan bandits. I will never spare him!"

This was a cruel threat, which immediately made Shen Dainian's face pale, and his body subconsciously took a step back. He had obviously felt a powerful murderous intent from Sun Tu, as if he would order to take action as long as he said another wrong sentence.

Thinking of the final outcome of the two prefects of Qingzhou, Shen Dainian suddenly raised his heart and became a little timid. It was not until this time that he truly realized Sun Tu's strength, which was more difficult and terrifying than any general he had contacted before. The reason why he dared to do all this was because he had an elite army that was enough to shock the entire Shandong!

After seeing this scene, a group of military officers from Zibo, including Duan Yu, were also very moved. Some even felt a sense of pleasure. They have been fed up with grievances after so many years of being military generals, and no one has ever been able to suppress a fifth-rank prefect like Sun Dujian, so that a fifth-rank prefect dare not speak out at all.

Perhaps this is the identity that we and other military generals should have. Only by following Sun Dujian can we truly behave with our heads held high, without having to bow down as before and be careful... Many people suddenly had such a strange thought in their hearts, and the awe in their eyes when they looked at Sun Tu was even more serious.

Sun Tu grinned and showed his white teeth: "Prince Chen, do you have anything else to say?"

"Although I am a civil servant, I cannot take charge of your military affairs, but this matter is not in accordance with the rules. I will definitely submit a report to the court." Although Shen Dainian had never given up, he had actually given up on his opponent to fight Sun Tu and in disguise, he acquiesced to his decision to replace him as the governor of Zibo.

"Then it's up to you." Sun Tu smiled disdainfully, and then looked at Fan Liang who was happy on the side: "Fan Dujian, prepare well after returning to the camp. After two days, you will go to Qingzhou with the official in Qingzhou. No mistakes are allowed." His replacement is not only for establishing his authority, but also for the more important thing.

Fan Liang was stunned at first, then became busy and then responded. Although going to Qingzhou would reduce his power in the army a lot, he had to rely on many people to survive than before when he was under Duan Yu's command. It was obviously better for him now.

Before Sun Tu finished speaking, he said, "Also, this time, your troops and generals go to Qingzhou to conduct careful training, so you have to bring enough food, grass and military salaries."

"Ah...this..." Fan Liang suddenly looked puzzled and couldn't help but look at Shen Danian. The meaning was already very obvious - the money and food required in the army were naturally under the control of his prefect, otherwise he would not have eaten Duan Yu tightly. This is also a common phenomenon in the prefectures in the Song Dynasty today.

But Sun Tu had no intention of discussing with Shen Danian at all, and just said, "This is a military order! If you can't do it, you will be engaged in military law. If you go to rob, you have to prepare enough money and food for me!"

Shen Dainian was even more frightened and angry when he heard this. He was clearly threatening himself. If he dared to seize military food and money at this time, he would have to bear the consequences that might cause chaos. But after seeing Sun Tu's cold face, he felt like a basin of cold water was poured on his head and calmed down again. This person was too brave, and killing officials was like a common occurrence. Who knew if he really dared to take it on his own, would he have lost all his life?

This time, he truly understood how reasonable the old saying was. When a scholar met a soldier, he really couldn't explain it clearly. In the end, he could only compromise and gritted his teeth and said, "Since everything is for my peace in Shandong, I will naturally not drag Sun Dujian down. We will give enough money and grain in Zibo."

"That's good. Master Shen can understand the difficulties of me, but he is a responsible good official." Sun Tu praised casually, then glanced at everyone in front of him, and then clasped his fists: "The military affairs are busy, so I will stay soon. Two days later, I will wait for you outside the city." The last sentence was said to Fan Liang, who was busy intervening and reciprocating, and it seemed that his whole spirit was very different from before.

It was not until a while after Sun Tu left that several people in the room came to their senses from the silence. Duan Yu looked at Shen Danian, then at Fan Liang, and said blankly: "What should I do?"

"Bare!" Shen Magistrate Shen changed his color and slapped the table with a slamming slamming the table: "This is Zibo Prefecture, it is your territory. Why is it completely suppressed by him, an outsider, so dare not resist? Can't you be tough and push his words back?"

A storm-like reprimand fell on Duan Yu, making his face blush and green, blue and white, but he couldn't say anything. Just as Shen Dainian looked at Fan Liang with a gloomy gaze and wanted to start from him, the man suddenly hugged and fisted: "Master Shen, there is still something to do in the army, so I won't disturb you. Also, I hope you can quickly transfer the military rations and pay, don't affect my army's departure." As he said that, he left as if he had escaped without waiting for the other party to react.

Although he was not very tough and left in a panic after saying this, this was the boldest performance of the military officers of Zibo in front of Shen Prefect. Although Shen Dainian's expression changed again after he said this, he did not dare to scold Duan Yu for a moment.

Sometimes people bully the weak and fear the strong. As long as you can resist, the bully may not dare to take action.

Duan Yu looked at Fan Liang who was leaving thoughtfully, then looked at Shen Danian who was a little surprised, and suddenly raised his chest: "Goodbye." He was unwilling to pretend to be a grandson in front of this person anymore. Duan Yu really regretted it at this time. Why didn't he have the courage before, and even fell into the field of today.

Even though Shen Dainian was dissatisfied with this, even though he still let go of harsh words, he did not dare to tamper with money and grain. He could only hand over the village soldiers who were about to leave in two days. Moreover, it was not until two days later that Sun Tu took the army and horses of the two states that he finally felt relieved, and then sent someone to send several crimes of impeaching Sun Tu's mischief and trespassing the government office to the capital.

As soon as his memorial was sent out, the matter in Zibo spread like wildfire and reached the ears of officials from other prefectures in Shandong. When he learned about the incident and Sun Tu used the reason to suppress the prefect Shen, the prefects and prefectures in various places became a little panicked.

Because their actions before were no different from Shen Danian, they refused to let go of the soldiers in the city and had never sent troops to rescue Dongping Prefecture. If Sun Tu came to the door again, they would probably be unable to resist the anger of the other party. Now Sun Tu is here to question the situation of defeating the Liangshan bandits, how could these local officials resist it?

After some weighing, some local officials quickly made the wisest choice. They sent the soldiers in the city to Qingzhou without waiting for Sun Tu to come, which was considered to be his order. The first decision was Gu Tongzhou, the prefect of Jeju, because he had the most contact with Sun Tu and knew better about the strength of the Qingzhou army. Seeing that it was impossible, it would be better to surrender. This would be better than being asked by Sun Tu to come to him and throw him clean with his face.

As a result, a scene that many people unexpectedly appeared. After Sun Tu defeated the Liangshan bandits this time, he suddenly rushed to Qingzhou. Although there were not many soldiers and horses in each prefecture, they combined them and also added more than 10,000 more troops to Qingzhou. In addition, the local elite Qingzhou, combined, Sun Tu's available troops reached 15,000, which was the most troops that Sun Tu could mobilize since he took charge of the troops.

It was not until this time that Huang Wenbing and others truly convinced Sun Dujian's foresight. He had said before that rescued Dongping Prefecture was not only military affairs but also government affairs. Everyone had some doubts before, but now everything has become a fact.

Of course, with the troops in place, it means that Sun Tu's conquest of Liangshan bandits will also be put on the agenda.

But sometimes people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations, but the arrival of several people makes this matter change again...
