The name of a person and the shadow of a tree. If he did not leave the Shandong territory and walked out, Sun Tu really didn't know that he and his troops had already become famous all over the world, respected by countless officials and people, and became a great hero in the eyes of countless people.

When the army entered Jingji Road, it immediately won the welcome from the people along the way. The people of the county and prefectures walked out of their homes consciously to welcome this heroic army that came from Shandong and had pacified several bandits of bandits in the Song Dynasty. Moreover, not only the local people, but also some officials of the prefectures would come out to specially entertain Sun Tu and his subordinates.

Although Sun Tu always declined the kindness of these people, it is enough to show that Sun Tu's army has long been famous and well-known to people in the north.

It is precisely because there are always people who welcome and see each other along the way that the entire army is more energetic and the marching teams are more uniform than imagined. When all this falls into the eyes of the people, the senses of this mighty and victorious army are even better. The heroic and proud spirit and neat and solemn team, let alone the local soldiers, even the so-called elite imperial guards that can always be seen near the capital, is much worse than that.

What is even more talked about is the serious military discipline and rules of this army, which truly does not violate the people along the way. Even if the people send food to reward the soldiers, they will pay money to buy things by abide by the rules. Compared with them, the past, those official troops who always advocated loving the people for the people were really a big joke.

So, without realizing it, such an evaluation came from all over the north - among the millions of official troops today, the Sun family army is the first-class army, and no one can surpass the right one, whether it is the imperial guard or the border army. Correspondingly, Sun Tu, the title of the leader of the three armies, has become increasingly louder, and he has even had the title of the God of War among the people, saying that he is rigorous in the military management and uses troops like a god, and is truly the first person in the Song Dynasty.

When this title spread like the wind, although the chief generals of all the troops in the world didn't say much, they obviously had a lot of opinions in their hearts. Especially some arrogant border soldiers and imperial guards generals, they even thought that they would compete with Sun Tu once they had the chance to suppress his arrogance.

When the news reached Jiangnan and was known by the increasingly powerful Fang La anti-army, many people were ready to fight with the army. Because as they thought, since the Song Dynasty court praised this army so high, as long as they defeated the other party on the battlefield, the attack on the Song Dynasty court would be fatal. Maybe they could take advantage of this battle to expand the territory of Wu again and develop it outside Jiangnan.

It can be said that when Sun Tu was still halfway, some people's unintentional praise made his team, which had just exceeded 20,000 people, the focus of many enemies and others, and also established many enemies for him.

But there are naturally benefits. After walking along the road less than half a month, no less than two thousand young men came to join the army in the capital. You should know that this was a great Song Dynasty, which believed in a good man but not a soldier. This shows how support Sun Tu's army was. Even though they knew that they would go to Jiangnan to fight against Fang La in the next battle, they would join the army without hesitation, just to follow the great hero in their hearts, kill the enemy together, and defend their country.

Sun Tu naturally would not refuse these passionate men who came to vote, and immediately incorporated them into the army. Although these people were really limited in their role on the battlefield, it was enough to help the rear army transport food, grass and supplies on weekdays. Moreover, as long as they were allowed to go through a few battles and could accept the military rules set by Sun Tu, many of them would naturally grow into qualified soldiers in the army after a year or two.

So a magical scene appeared. When deserters continued to appear in other wing troops that went south to fight against Fang La's anti-army, their number was drastically reduced, Sun Tu's Shandong army not only did not decrease, but instead expanded rapidly. In half a month, more than 2,000 people were added out of thin air, and the number of troops was directly exceeded 20,000.

But this happened, the logistics pressure was even greater. Sun Tu could only send someone to urge the escort of the grain and grass. At the same time, he was still leaving Jingji Road and temporarily stationed outside Xinyang City before entering Huainan Road. He only waited for the court to allocate the grain and grass that he had promised before and continued to move south.

But what Sun Tu waited for was only enough for the army to consume food and grass for months, and Fang Qian, who looked apologized. When he arrived at the army, Fang Qian apologized first: "Please forgive me for thousands of miles. Now the court has dispatched too many local wing troops to Jiangnan to quell the chaos, so there is also some chaos in the transportation of food and grass. He had actually sent the food and grass that should have been assigned to Jiangnan after you set off to Jiangnan first. Now the Ministry of Revenue can only gather this batch of food for the soldiers to eat and use on the road."

When Sun Tu heard this, his brows frowned slightly: "Be serious? Don't wait until I lead my army to Jiangnan to find other excuses and refuse to send the food and grass to our army as much as possible, right?"

"How could the court do such a thing when Qianli said this?" Fang Qian explained with a hurried smile: "This is really caused by some accidents. Who would have thought that Fang Thief would dare to do such a tyrannical act? Now His Majesty is furious and will mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to completely annihilate the anti-army as soon as possible with the pressure of Mount Tai. Therefore, some mistakes have occurred in the mobilization of food and grass."

After pausing, he took out another document from his sleeve and handed it over: "This is a military order jointly issued by our Privy Council and the Ministry of Revenue. As long as you arrive in the Jiangnan area, you can directly retrieve all the materials and supplies that your army uses from the official warehouse!"

People have said this and have shown such sincerity. Naturally, Sun Tu couldn't handle this matter anymore. He could only accept the military order, saying that he would not let down the trust and reuse of the court. In fact, the most important thing is that he has already brought his troops here. It is impossible for him to lead his troops back to Shandong because the food and grass are not fully in place, so he will be despised by the people of the world.

Just as Sun Tu sent Fang Qian out of the military camp and planned to continue leading his troops south tomorrow, a familiar old voice came from the front: "Sun Tu..."

"Bold, how dare you call my chief's name!" When the soldiers guarding the camp heard this title, they immediately rebuked him. After being stunned, Sun Tu quickly looked over in surprise...

If they were in Qingzhou City, there would be no idle people who could not be approached within dozens of feet of the front of the military camp. But now they are in Xinyang and are just borrowing land to temporarily stay, so there is not so much attention. As long as the people do not break into the military camp, no one will go to drive them away. So at this time, there were actually many local people in front of the military camp to see the legendary power of the Sun family army.

Among the people of Xinyang, Sun Tu saw an old man with white hair and rosy hair at a glance, standing several feet away with a young man with a famous man who was wearing coarse cloth, but could not hide his heroic spirit, and nodded and smiled at him. This immediately made him look respectful smile on his face, and he quickly walked up to him, and came to the old man, and gave a big gift on one knee: "Master, why are you here? My disciples have seen Master!"

This old man who suddenly appeared in front of the military camp and dared to call Sun Tu's name directly was his teacher, Zhou Tong, a master of martial arts!

Although Sun Tu's martial arts were mostly learned before traveling through time, and he learned from others' strengths, he must not ignore Zhou Tong's careful teaching in Bianjing City. It can be said that Sun Tu's achievements and martial arts today were really thanks to his original guidance, so Sun Tu still admired this master from the bottom of his heart.

However, his actions shocked the people around him. Originally, everyone thought that the old man was crazy about gaining and losing, so he dared to run to the military camp to ask Sun Qianxia Daming to cause trouble. Now he has expressed a lot of respect for him. If he can teach a great hero like Sun Qianxia, ​​this old man must be a stubborn figure!

As for the soldiers who had just shouted that they scolded Zhou Tong, their faces turned pale, and they almost knelt down, and they quickly stepped forward to admit their mistakes. At this time, Zhou Tong had quickly reached out to help Sun Tu, who had just knelt down, and said: "You are now the commander of the three armies. How can you be like this? You are weakening the momentum in the army."

"Master taught me a lesson, but my disciple was not considering it." Sun Tu stood up and humbly accepted the lesson. Then he looked at the military soldier who was kneeling down to apologize and begged, "Master, this brother is also unintentional offense. Please don't blame him..."

"Hey, he is also trying to maintain the majesty of you, the chief general. How could I blame him?" Zhou Tong said, and stepped forward and helped him up: "You did a good job. I am really just a commoner. It would be inconvenient to call Sun Qianzhang in public."

The soldier finally felt relieved when he heard this, and he repeatedly thanked him, and then retreated. Zhou Tong looked at Sun Tu with a smile and said, "It seems that you have trained a rare elite army for me, the Song Dynasty as you said in Bianjing. Just look at this general's protection of you, you can tell that you are really well-received by the soldiers. OK!"

"Master has been awarded too much. I just thank my brothers for their wrong love." Sun Tu said modestly, then he realized that his family was still outside the camp, so he quickly invited Zhou Tong to the camp. It was not until this time that he looked at the young man who had been standing behind Zhou Tong, who was silent but could not hide his sharpness: "Master, who is this?"
