On the third day of the winter moon, in Jinling City, the temporary White Tiger Festival Hall.

Although there were many civil and military personnel sitting in the hall, they were particularly quiet. Everyone did not even dare to breathe the air, and the needle could be heard. The reason for all this was that Zhu Jie, who only sat upright on Fang Shuai's case, looked bad in his face. Seeing the military newspaper in his hand, not only was his face sinking like water, but even the fat on his cheeks trembled slightly when he arrived behind him.

After a while, he slapped the military newspaper on the table and angrily shouted: "Incompetent! It's extremely incompetent! Tens of thousands of our Song Dynasty official troops were destroyed by the anti-army under the city of Changzhou. Although the city was kept, he let it retreat calmly. It's really outrageous!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials were silent, and none of them dared to speak. In fact, they had already received rumors before coming here. They heard that the wars in Changzhou and Wuxi were not able to win, so they came to discuss military situations today, all of whom were very low-key, for fear that if they said something wrong, they would directly touch Zhu Xie's bad intentions.

After scolding a few times but no one answered, Zhu Jie's anger increased instead. He immediately slapped the table again and rushed to a white-faced general not far away and asked: "Gu You, give me an explanation, why did the two armies of Huainan and Shandong still fail to win? Then what did Sun Tu and Peng Yongzhen do? Together, the 50,000 army could not eat this amount of anti-army?"

Gu You was a general in the Huainan Army. This time he was ordered to report the battle from Changzhou to Jinling. Although he was prepared, when he faced the angry Zhu Xie, he was still panicked for a while and could only bow his head and reply: "It was the last general who waited for the unfavorable battle that made the rebels retreat calmly. But if the failure of this war really depends on the responsibility, it is mostly the Shandong army."

"Hmph, anyone will say anything about shirking responsibility. What basis do you have?" Zhu Xie said with a gloomy face, but it was obvious that he would like to listen to him continue to say it.

Gu You seized the opportunity and immediately complained: "Ship Zhu didn't know that our army would definitely win when we went to rescue Changzhou. But the commander of Shandong Sun proposed to take the lead halfway, thus diminishing the combat effectiveness of our army. What's even more hateful is that when our army arrived in Changzhou, he and his subordinates were not seen at all, resulting in our army being able to hastily confront the rebels who were siegeing the city. As a result, due to our army's journey for many days, the teacher and veterans were exhausted and the initial battle was defeated.

"The Shandong Army refused to obey the orders later, and just defended the enemy with all their might, regardless of Changzhou being besieged by the enemy. Our Huainan Army soldiers almost fought with him with their own strength. Naturally, they were not opponents, and eventually lost their troops and generals... But it was precisely the hard work of our soldiers that finally lifted the siege of Changzhou and kept the city alive. However, because the Shandong Army was timid and afraid of fighting, the rebels still allowed them to escape unscathed and failed to achieve the final victory!"

His remarks were obviously not true, and there were many conflicting points in the middle. Some generals present had already heard the problem and frowned slightly. This was a completely sensible way to take credit for credit. For example, he clearly said that the teacher and veterans were tired and failed in the first battle, how could he help the Changzhou defenders retreat to the enemy in a head-on confrontation with the enemy?

Since he has won the battle to defend the city, he can win a big victory by taking advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack. How can the opponent retreat completely? Also, the Shandong Army was really as he said in this battle as he had been afraid before the battle, and only made a look at the wall? Anyway, if you want to talk about loopholes, it would be a lot of catches.

But at this time, no one stood up to speak for the Shandong Army, because he mentioned a key point from the beginning - the Shandong Army commander Sun Tu led his army to disappear from where to go halfway!

What is this? Escape at the last minute? Once this matter is really pursued, the blame will be too great, and no one dares to touch it. Moreover, Sun Tu has no friendship with them. Everyone was jealous of the special treatment of the Shandong Army in military rations before, and they were afraid of this powerful guy. Now that he has made a mistake, there will only be someone who will take the blame, and no one will stand up and speak for him.

Tong Mu, who was sitting at the bottom of the head, had a pale face at this moment, and he was not anxious: "Sanlang, Sanlang, you are too confused. Once Zhu Jie seizes the handle and takes the opportunity to convict him, you can't afford it..." But his current identity obviously cannot defend Sun Tu.

Moreover, he knew very well that such an unfavorable situation was caused by Sun Tu's absence in the army. Otherwise, this battle report would not have been sent only by the Huainan Army. At least he had to accompany a general from the Shandong Army, but he put all the dominance into the other party.

A glimmer flashed in Zhu Xie's eyes. Although he was quite annoyed by the defeat in Changzhou, he hoped to see such a result. If he could really take this opportunity to convict Sun Tu, he would not only be able to exert his previous anger, but also complete the instructions of Cai Jing and others.

So after pondering for a moment, he slapped the table again and shouted angrily: "You are serious about this? Then Sun Tu really dared to lead his troops away without regard to our military orders, and he did not know where to go?"

This momentum really scared Gu You so much that he was shocked. After swallowing his saliva secretly, he nodded quickly and said, "What we said is true. If Sun Tu was not there and the Shandong Army did not listen to the order, our army would have won a great victory in Changzhou!" He had already received the order when he came and must push all the mistakes on Sun Tu and Shandong Army. Naturally, he would not miss the opportunity at this time.

"It's really outrageous, it's time to kill!" Zhu Jie slammed the table again and shouted angrily: "Come here, check it out for me, where did Sun Tu lead a group of people? I found him and asked him to go back to Jinling for trial immediately! Those who do not obey the order and act recklessly will never tolerate them!"

"Zhu Shuai is wise!" Gu You hurriedly praised loudly, but he wanted to make the matter completely settled. The others followed suit after being stunned, but Tong Mu felt even more nervous, but he no longer knew what to do.

Just as Zhu Jie was angrily planning to mobilize troops and search for the whereabouts of Sun Tu's troops, a personal soldier had already rushed to the hall: "Report——! Zhu Shuai, there is a report from the Danyang City Battle. Our army won a great victory, killed two thousand enemies, and captured nearly a thousand Fang La's anti-army!"

After hearing this, Zhu Xie, who was already full of anger, was stunned at first, then turned anger into joy, smiled and stroked his beard and said, "Okay! Since the chaos in Jiangnan has started, this is the biggest victory our army has won. Mo Jingyao did not disappoint me, please report the victory over quickly!"

The personal soldier hurriedly walked up and respectfully held a good news in his hands. After Zhu Jie took it, he took the opportunity to tease Sun Tu: "I think Sun Tu kept mentioning that day that he should be careful of the idea of ​​thieves attacking me Danyang. At that time, I said that I had elite troops stationed in Danyang, and if the thieves dared to go..." At this point, his voice broke, and his eyes stared at the battle report in his hands, his face turned from red to white, and from white to green, which made the generals below confused and didn't know what happened again.

After a while, Zhu Jie finally broke out. He waved his hand and overturned the entire case of the handsome man in front of him. Then he threw out the battle report in his hand: "Bad! Damn! All deserved to die!" At this moment, Zhu Jie completely lost control...

Zhu Xie was not an emotional person at first. He was naturally extremely cunning when he had the status of today. But since he became the real master of Jiangnan, all the power was actually under control, and his temper became increasingly stronger under his confidence.

Originally, Suzhou was destroyed and fled to Jinling in a panic, he restrained it, so he had the gentle breeze and drizzle when he first met Sun Tu. Even if there was a conflict later, he could restrain himself. Of course, it was a fact that Sun Tu was regarded as a thorn in his eyes by him. As long as he found a chance, he would get rid of this hateful guy.

Today he thought the opportunity had come. With the failure to do his best in Changzhou and Sun Tu's escape at the last minute, Zhu Xie could take Sun Tu with justification, and even kill him was not a problem. But as a result, the battle report he got now shook a loud slap in the face!

Especially just now, he was showing off how wise he was to his subordinates and used it to ridicule Sun Tu's previous concerns. But after reading this good news about the battle in Danyang written by Sun Tu, he felt that all the ridiculous words fell back to him. This feeling was too embarrassing, and Zhu Xie was completely out of control and furious!

The generals below were also stunned by the sudden anger. Seeing Zhu Jie's chest rising and falling quickly, staring at the front but not speaking, everyone was even more nervous. After all, someone had to raise the courage to pick up the good news he threw on the ground and read it carefully. After this look, the person's face also changed, and then he passed it to his colleagues.

After a while, everyone in the hall saw this good news, and even Tong Mu, who was sitting at the end, then the worry on his face disappeared, and he let out a long sigh: "No wonder, I said that Sanlang is not a fool. It turns out that he has seen through the plot of rebels for a long time! In this way, he not only has no guilt, but has made great contributions!"

It can be said that half of the people in the hall had thoughts similar to him. Because the good news was clearly written, Sun Tu not only defeated tens of thousands of Fang La anti-army attacking Danyang, killed thousands of prisoners, but also protected half of the food in the city. This was a great achievement for the entire Jiangnan battle situation.

Even if you have any prejudice against Sun Tu, you cannot deny this, because food and grass are the foundation of the army. If you are really gained or destroyed by the enemy, the blow to the war situation in Jiangnan will undoubtedly be devastating.

At the same time, many people also showed suspicion and dissatisfaction. It turned out that the food and grass they had been asking for was hidden in Danyang by Zhu Xie. If Sun Tu had not turned the tide and saved Danyang's food and grass, his army would probably have been left in Jiangnan.
