Chapter 631 Aftermath
Zhu Xie, who was afraid of being afraid of being a ruthless person, could only pour out all his anger on the unlucky Wang Kaiwen. After bringing someone up overnight and scolding him, he made a verdict to behead him and show him the public early the next morning.
Naturally, a warehouse manager could not bear all the charges, so the entire warehouse owner and the servants were implicated and accompanied their boss to the execution ground, and were killed by this.
As a result, the positive theory that Sun Tu led his army to the Gaoyou Army camp yesterday and then rode alone into the city was even more rampant and became a hot topic that the military and civilians in the city talked about. In this way, Sun Tu's reputation really spread throughout the city. No one dared to question his previous reputation and contributions, and no one dared to question the strength of the Shandong Army. If this army had not had strong combat power, how could it be that thousands of officials could not resist with only 300 people?
Subsequently, something that made the people in the city respect Sun Tu very much, that is, the military discipline of the entire Shandong Army was extremely rigorous. Never had a Shandong Army soldier who had done anything that harmed the ordinary people. He really did nothing to the people and paid the price to buy things. This immediately made the people who suffered a lot of hardship in the official army. Compared with the two, Sun Tu and the Shandong Army naturally had a better reputation.
Of course, this reputation will have to wait for a while, and now Sun Tu still focuses on self-protection. Although Zhu Xie made a rare compromise yesterday with his strong self-confidence and threat, he was also worried that the other party would do whatever he wanted in anger, so after leaving Zhu's mansion, he left the city again and returned to his own army.
It was midnight that the troops left behind Bajiao Town finally arrived one after another, which made Sun Tu completely calm down. After seeing the laziness and laziness of the official army here, he believed that even if he could not really win with the combat power of more than 20,000 elite troops under his command, it would not be a problem to retreat safely.
However, this time he was obviously a little over-concerned, and Zhu Xie did not take any revenge the next day. Moreover, after noon, the city actually sent food, grass, wine and meat to reward the entire Shandong army. The leader was Lu Bofei, a staff member of Zhu Xie who had had contact with Sun Tu before.
This time, Lu Bofei really saw what elite soldiers were. The solemn atmosphere in this camp made him feel heartbroken, and the search procedures were much stricter than other troops. This made him sigh sincerely after seeing Sun when he entered the camp: "Sun Qian is worthy of being one of the few famous generals in my Song Dynasty for many years. He is indeed a good leader, and Lu admires him."
"Mr. Lu, you are polite. This is just a rule that should be found in the army." Sun Tu's understatement was enough to make the surrounding officials and generals feel ashamed. Then, he smiled and said, "Shuai Zhu is indeed a trustworthy person. He just asked me to do something about me the day before yesterday. Today, he specially sent someone to deliver food."
"Haha, Mr. Sun is so serious. This is what we should do. As for delivering food to the door, it is also to express our apology to the soldiers of Shandong. Yesterday, those who were ignorant in office work actually did something that offended the general's power. Now Wang Kaiwen and others are all awarded the title. Zhu Shuai finally vented anger for the soldiers."
After hearing this, Sun Tu just smiled. In fact, he did not really want to take the lives of Wang Kaiwen and others, because he knew very well that these people were just being ordered by others. The one who really wanted to take the opportunity to hit him was the fat-headed and big-eared Zhu Xie. In fact, if it weren't for the purpose of quickly establishing his authority, he wouldn't have killed dozens of Gaoyou soldiers so hard yesterday.
However, judging from today's results, yesterday's adventures were quite cost-effective. At least now, the soldiers of the surrounding battalions were clearly in awe when they looked at their Shandong army.
After Lu Bofei talked about gossip again, and was about to get to the point again, he urged Sun Tu to send the "chaotic people" who fled to Qixia Mountain as soon as possible to suppress the "disruptive people" outside the tent, but someone came to report: "General, the Gaoyou Legion Lian Fanfeng is asking for a meeting outside the camp." As he said that, he smiled and added: "He was carried by someone."
"Oh?" Sun Tu became interested immediately. He really didn't expect this person to come to see him again. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Please ask him to come in and speak."
After a while, Fan Feng lay on a door panel and was carried by two personal soldiers to the tent. After seeing Sun Tu, he suppressed the pain on his body and wanted to get up to greet him, but Sun Tu stepped forward and held it down: "Since you have injuries, you don't have to care about such red tape."
"Thank you, Mr. Sun, for your compassion, I am grateful." As he said that, Fan Feng raised his body and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Sun, today is here to thank Mr. Sun for saving his life yesterday. Thank you, Mr. Sun, for his previous grudges, to come forward to rescue him yesterday, otherwise Mr. Sun, would have already fallen to the ground."
These actions and words were indeed sincere, because Fan Feng had heard about Wang Kaiwen's fate in the morning, which really made him sweat. The imperial officials who were still drinking with him yesterday had already fallen to the ground today, which had a great impact on him. It was not until this time that he knew how insignificant a small person like him was in the eyes of those high-ranking officials, life and death were only in one thought.
If Sun Tu hadn't said those words last night, he would have lost his head with Wang Kaiwen. Thinking of this, Sun Tu's humiliation yesterday would be nothing. As for the killing of those personal soldiers, he would have been ignored directly. In fact, like other superiors, Fan Feng never took the people below seriously.
Although Sun Tu was a little disgusted with what he did, he was so respectful that he couldn't show his face to the other party anymore, so he could only comfort the other party with a few words, and then said with a solemn expression: "Fan Tuanlian, although some words may not be heard, I still want to warn you. As for whether to listen or not, it is your own business."
"Sir Sun asked to say that the officials must follow the teachings."
"I know that now our soldiers are not valued by the court, but this is by no means the reason why we do evil and give up on ourselves. People will insult themselves and then insult them. I hope you can understand this truth and don't do things that even look down on ourselves. What is the purpose of our soldiers to eat food? Isn't it to protect our country and protect the people who provide us with food, grass and money? But look at what the officials inside and outside Jinling have done? In this way, let alone officials look down on us, those people,
Even if he is not as fierce and strong as me, he still despises me. Do you understand what I mean?" Sun Tu said this seriously. Fan Feng briefly fell into deep thought. These words were like a wake-up call, awakening him who had been pretending to be asleep! When he first entered the army, he had thought of making achievements and shining his family. However, the various injustices and encounters later slapped all his enthusiasm and made him the waste who only knew how to enjoy money but threw his job behind him.
This experience, coupled with Sun Tu's reminder, finally made him awake. After a moment, Fan Feng raised himself up again and then worshiped him respectfully: "Mr. Sun's words were like enlightenment. I will realize that they were wrong. After I returned, I will definitely correct them. Otherwise, I will die under the arrows! When someone comes to do something, I will thank Sun's help and some kindness!"
It was not until Fan Feng left that Sun Tu smiled and sighed: "I hope I can really wake him up. My Song army is so depressed that it is because the generals are too selfish and lazy. If they can be excited, why worry about rebels and injustice? It is difficult to conquer the north!"
This sentence blurted out because of love, but Lu Bofei, who was still in the camp, also felt aroused his heart, thinking of his former ideals and ambitions. How could he be willing to stay by the side of a greedy and tyrannical guy and be a gangster for a tiger?
However, after this thought was together, he immediately woke up and warned himself not to be influenced by Sun Tu. Zhu Shuai could not betrayed at will. After calming down, he showed a sign-like gentle smile and praised: "General Sun is indeed a good idea. Even after hearing what you said, he was determined to do something for my Song Dynasty official army."
"Haha, it's just a momentary sexual intercourse, which makes Mr. Lu laugh." Sun Tu also changed back to his casual appearance at this time and looked at him again, "By the way, looking at Mr. Lu, it seems that there is still something to say?"
"It's not important. It's just the rioters mentioned yesterday about the rioters who fled to Qixia Mountain. I wonder when General Sun plans to send troops to quell the rebellion?"
"Is this matter? Mr. Lu just don't worry. I originally planned to draw some troops from Bajiao Town before taking action, but now that the troops have arrived, we will definitely see the matter within three days."
"So you're serious?"
"What, Mr. Lu still wants me to issue a military order?" Sun Tu looked at the other party with a smile, but made Lu Bofei feel cold in his heart. He quickly waved his hand and said, "I dare not, I am just a little anxious. Since General Sun has said that, I should report to Zhu Shuai truthfully, hoping that the general can succeed in the battle, but don't let the rioters take advantage of the loopholes and run away."
"Of course." Sun Tu smiled and then wanted to see him off: "Mr. Lu, do you have anything else to say?"
Seeing Sun Tu's intention, Lu Bofei stopped staying for a long time and quickly left. At this time, Zhu Wucai, who was listening to everything, stepped forward and said, "Secretary, his statement seems to be full of evil intentions..."
"I naturally know this. I just want to treat me as a gun and help Zhu Xie kill the people. This will not only eliminate a group of enemies, but also destroy my reputation. But how can I make him do what he wants?" Sun Tu sneered: "Come here, call Yue Fei, Wu Song and Lu Da."
Originally, he planned to let Yue Fei and the others go up the mountain last night, but because of an accident, the matter could only be dragged back. Now that the trouble has been resolved, the matter should be put on the agenda again.
