When a few days later, trucks of trucks, loads of grain, armor and arrows were continuously transported into the Shandong military camp, although they were not wrapped in breadcrumbs and were not fryed in oil, they also made the soldiers of other military camps around them look very envious because the gap in treatment was too big.

The rest of the troops are very busy now. Every three or five days, the generals have to go to Zhu Xie to cry and ask for food. They can only get a batch of military rations after all. But this cannot guarantee that the soldiers can eat enough. It is precisely because of this that the military disciplines of each army become more and more corrupt, and they regard entering the city to rob the people's money and grain as their own compensation.

But now, the food logistics that is enough for 20,000 troops to be used in August and September were sent to the Shandong military camp, and the officers and soldiers became increasingly unbalanced. Not only the people, but also the army was not worried about the lack of people but the uneven.

But no one dared to do anything that was unfavorable to the Shandong Army, and no one dared to take advantage of the food being transported all the way, because the combat power of the Shandong Army was there, and hundreds of people could kill thousands of Gaoyou Army without any power to fight back. If they provoke them, they would be really looking for a fight.

And soon, the relevant insider information also came out. It turned out that Zhu Xie was so easy to talk to this time because the Shandong army did make a lot of contributions. They actually pacified the rioters who fled to Qixia Mountain, and even Xie Mo died because of this. In the eyes of many people, it was not a credit at all, but a big trouble.

So what Sun Tu has gained in this matter is not only the benefits, but also many troubles. One is that the reputation he had finally established collapsed overnight. When the people knew that the Shandong Army had killed Mr. Xie, they really cried all over the city and cursed, but they treated the entire Shandong Army as enemies.

In the past, when the Shandong army entered the city to purchase some necessary materials, they could be welcomed by many merchants because compared to the clever and plundering of other officials, they were fairly traded. But now, as soon as they learned that they were Shandong soldiers, those merchants would rather be snatched by others than sell the goods to them. And these soldiers were tied to military discipline and dared not really take action to snatch them, so they could only leave in disappointment.

Fortunately, Sun Tu had some expectations for this early in the morning, and the military needs could be almost brought from the government, so the problem was not big. Just another thing made him a little uneasy - Tong Mu was left under house arrest by Zhu Xieqiang and became a hostage he used to restrain Sun Tu.

After accepting Tong Mu's request that day, Zhu Xie quickly turned against him, and asked someone to take him down, and arranged to live in a certain courtyard. Tong Mu was not Sun Tu after all, so he was not good at martial arts, so he naturally could not get out, so he had to be bound obediently and imprisoned in the Zhu Mansion. Fortunately, he had the identity of Tong Guan's nephew, otherwise it would be even more dangerous.

Sun Tu could only accept such a result and waited for the next opportunity to come. And under this situation, the change finally came.

On October 18, several military reports suddenly came from the front, but Fang La's anti-army divided his troops to attack Wuxi and two important towns in Changzhou within two days. Then further news came. Under the fierce offensive of the anti-army, no less than three county towns had been captured. Seeing that the large area south of Jinling was about to fall completely into the hands of the anti-army. When these news came one after another, not only Zhu Xie, but also the generals of various reinforcements were panicked and could no longer be as calm as before.

Because once Wuxi and Changzhou are all under the hands of the anti-army, and with the cities such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, Huzhou, etc. that have been captured by them before, the two Zhejiang areas, except for Jinling, have almost all fallen into the hands of the anti-army. To put it more seriously, that is, the official army will be pushed to the border of the Yangtze River by the anti-army, and there is no way out!

This is a result that no one can accept. Although Zhu Xie cannot bear it, the official troops who came to quell the rebellion cannot bear the responsibility of losing land. Moreover, their performance is very problematic. More than 100,000 troops have been surfing before they arrived in Jinling. They are almost sitting on the spot as the anti-army grows little by little. If they really want to pursue it, the blame will be too great.

So on the 20th day, when Zhu Jie summoned the generals to discuss solutions, more than ten official troops, thirty or forty generals, were present, and everyone's face was filled with worry.

In the temporary recruitment of the military governor's yamen, an extremely detailed topographic map of the Jiangnan city had been hung above the lobby. The anti-military movements were also drawn with red strokes. Several arrows pointed directly at Changzhou and Wuxi, which was shocking. Even when Sun Tu saw this, he frowned secretly.

Zhu Xie had changed his usual smile and became extremely serious. His eyes swept across the generals in the hall like lightning. Then he said in a solemn voice: "The previous few military newspapers have ordered people to copy and send them to the army. I believe everyone knows that the situation in Jiangnan has reached an urgent need, right? Today, I summon all the generals to immediately decide on a plan to break the enemy. Let me tell you, what should I do?"

All the generals present were old-fashioned. They knew the rules of officialdom well, and they did more mistakes, and did less mistakes. Although they all had solemn faces at this moment, they all looked at their noses and their hearts, and no one spoke.

This reaction made Zhu Jie feel even more irritable. He no longer put on airs and directly pointed at a general closest to him and said, "Xiao Jing, you have confronted the anti-military army many times, so you should have some opinions."

Xiao Jing was originally a regiment trainer in the Suzhou Xiang Army, and he had some skills. At this time, he was named, so he could only say: "In the view of the last general, Wuxi and Suzhou cannot be lost anymore. Fortunately, the two cities are still solid, and with the previous cars in Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is not a problem to defend for ten days and half a month. So what we should do at this time is to take advantage of the full strength of the anti-army attacking these two places, send troops to counterattack Suzhou City, and thus besieging Wei to save Zhao, the dangers of these two cities can be solved."

Sun Tu's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although this method seemed quite risky, it was a magical solution to the problem. If the official army could really mobilize an elite force to implement it, it would be a success.

But the others shook their heads like rattles and objected: "Xiao Tuan is too aggressive in practicing this method, and it is very inappropriate."

"Yes, my army is not as powerful as the thief. If we ignore our own city, who will bear the consequences if we lose?"

Everyone said and said something, and soon rejected this countermeasure. Xiao Jing did not refute. After all, he was a defeated general. Suzhou was also thrown into his hands before. Now he is still in a position to be guilty. How dare he argue with these generals who are still above him?

His only function is to throw bricks and attract jade, or the other way around, because from him, he finally opened up everyone's conversation, and some generals also put forward several ideas, but after all, it's just that, it's just sending troops to rescue the two cities, without any new ideas.

Even when it comes to rescue, they are all shirking each other and practicing Tai Chi. Obviously, no one has the confidence to fight against the powerful anti-army head-on, especially when there is no city to support it.

This shirked and argued that Zhu Jie's face changed slightly, and finally he could only speak again: "What you said is a safe and sound plan. I also thought that sending troops to rescue these two cities is the most urgent task. As for how many soldiers should be sent to... Jinling should leave at least 30,000 troops, and the rest of the troops can be divided into two groups. Changzhou is closer to my Jinling, which is a must-have. As the commander Sun Qian——" As he said, he had already set his sight on Sun Tu: "You and the Huainan Army will go to rescue this way, don't let me down."

Sun Tu had no objection to this, so he immediately stood up and fisted: "I am obedient." He knew that Zhu Xie did not dare to stumbling to him in this important matter, so he chose the Huainan Army, which had long had conflicts with him, because the official army on the route was the weakest of the troops and needed to take him with him.

So after receiving the order, he looked at Peng Yongzhen next to him: "Judge Peng, we have to be so close this time."

Peng Yongzhen still had some resentment in his heart, but nodded at him a little awkwardly and didn't say much.

Seeing that the reinforcements had been arranged along the way, Zhu Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Sun Tu would not obey the orders because of the previous incident.

After Zhu Xie arranged the other troops to rescue Wuxi, he stood up again and said seriously: "Everyone, this war is related to the overall situation in our Jiangnan. I hope you can cooperate sincerely and do your best. There must be no mistakes."

"We are obeying Zhu Shuai's order!" All the generals stood up solemnly, bent down with fists, and responded together.

Just as Sun Tu spoke seriously with everyone, his eyes swept over the map ahead, and then his face changed because he discovered a strange place. This time, the anti-army was extremely powerful, and the front line was very long, almost covering all the prefectures and counties north of Jinling. Only Jinling and Danyang City, which is only two days away from it, are not within its attack. Will there be any other intentions?

As soon as this idea arose, Sun Tu couldn't let go of his doubts, so when the generals hurriedly left to arrange for the troops to go to war, he stayed and mentioned this matter to Zhu Xie: "Shuai Zhu, is there anything special about Danyang?"

"This... there is nothing special there, it's just an ordinary city." Zhu Jie's eyes obviously dodged, and then casually said: "This place is only two days away from Jinling after all, and no matter how brave the anti-army is, you dare not attack it. You don't have to worry too much. As long as you save Changzhou, it will be a great achievement."

Although Sun Tu was a little uneasy, he should put the overall situation first in this kind of war. He didn't insist much, so he could only hold his fists and take the order. But there was a knot in his heart.
