It was almost the third update, and the world was already pitch black.

But the military tent was filled with candles and torches, which were nearly ten feet apart, making it clear, like daylight. Sun Tu was lying on the soft couch, and An Daoquan applied a new ointment to the wound on his back, which was cool and relieved the pain on his back much.

Several hours ago, Sun Tu forcibly stopped a civil strife in the official army that was approaching. After he ordered Lin Chong and other generals to lead the troops back to the barracks, he fell to his head due to a knife wound on his back. When he woke up again, he was already in this familiar military tent, and the miraculous doctor An Daoquan was treating him.

"Doctor An, do you think my injury is serious?" After a while, Sun Tu couldn't help but ask.

An Daoquan kept moving his hands, and gently applied the ointment around the wound, saying in his mouth: "Don't worry, this sword is a bit far from the vital part, and the murderer's strength was insufficient when he took action, so it didn't matter. The only thing that could be considered was that he had poison on the knife. Fortunately, the military officer took the medicine internally and externally, so the toxicity did not spread. The villain used this Qingling ointment to eliminate the residual toxicity, and it must be fine in three to five days."

When Sun Tu heard this, he felt even more happy: "That's good, it would be bad if he delayed the trip. Thanks to Dr. An, you are with the army, otherwise it would be troublesome."

"The Chief Secretary Yan Chong, this is all that villains should do." While speaking, An Daoquan had applied the ointment and took cloth to bandage his wound. Then he ordered: "But the Chief Secretary still needs to walk carefully within half a month, don't make the injury worse. In addition, he has to change the medicine every day so that the wound can heal quickly."

Seeing Sun Tu nodding, he stopped talking and left the account with the next gift. In fact, according to his opinion, Sun Tu should not work too much during his recovery period. For example, now, he should have a good rest. But obviously this is impossible. Now there are many people waiting outside the account, so this advice was not said after all.

Sure enough, when Andaoquan left, Sun Tu changed to a more comfortable position and lie down, and then said, "Come in." As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain was lifted, and Lin Chong and his old subordinates had already walked in first. Yue Fei was following the last. He was looking at Sun Tu with concern and nervousness, wanting to say something, but he didn't dare to speak first.

Seeing this, Sun Tu smiled: "This time I reacted quickly to the gutter, otherwise I would have really capsized."

These words immediately made everyone else look at Yue Fei, making him feel even more panicked. He quickly waved his hand and said, "The Chief Secretary is praised, Yue Fei is ashamed. I... I am here to apologize. As your personal guard, you are in danger. I almost... This is because Yue Fei is not doing his job well, so I also ask the Chief Secretary to punish him."

"Pengju, you said too much. We all know the situation at that time. You were ordered outside the tent, and then blocked by someone. Therefore, it is reasonable that someone can take advantage of it, so there is no need to blame yourself too much. And if we really want to talk about it, our subordinates are even more incompetent. If you blame the meritorious person who rescued the chief in time, then we will be even more ashamed." Zhu Wu saw Sun Tu's intentions and quickly spoke up to comfort Yue Fei.

Sun Tu glanced at him with satisfaction and then said, "What Captain Zhu said is very true. Pengju, you are not only innocent, but have made great contributions. Don't blame yourself. Also, you are not at fault. Even I didn't expect such a mess to happen in the Huainan army, let alone you. I am very satisfied that you can come to rescue me in time."

Seeing Sun Tu say this, everyone was relieved and moved: "The Chief..." After pausing, Lu Da said angrily: "The Huainan Army is really vicious. If the Chief had not ordered us not to attack before, we would destroy his entire army today!"

"Yes, they dare to attack the chief minister, they really don't know how to live or die!" Wu Song also echoed with anger. Judging from his appearance, as long as Sun Tu gave his order, they would immediately lead their troops to attack.

"Okay, I've taken over your feelings, but I must not do this, otherwise it will only make the relatives hurt and the enemy, and will give them a free gift to the anti-army in the south and some ulterior motives." Sun Tu waved his hands. However, he frowned because he was involved in the wound. He took a deep breath before continuing: "I didn't mean to turn against the Huainan Army. I was just trying to get everyone's winter clothes and bedding, so I was tougher. But after this incident, as long as Peng Yongzhen was not confused, he had to compromise, right?"

Before Zhao Siliang came forward, Peng Yongzhen was already shaken. Now, logic is that he should not dare to be an enemy of the Shandong army. Sun Tugang made such a judgment and heard Lin Chong say, "The commander is wise. In fact, after they sent the commander out of the camp, they sent someone to send a batch of quilts, and promised to send all the remaining cold-proof clothes in the camp tomorrow. Not only that, even Changzhou City sent some thick clothes and quilts after nightfall. They promised to provide our army with thousands of kilograms of charcoal tomorrow and the next day for heating."

"Oh? They knew the opportunity. It seemed that they could see that we were not easy to mess with." Sun Tu sneered and commented. Indeed, the Changzhou Prefecture and other places had found various excuses to drag the Shandong Army to use materials to help the Shandong Army spend the winter. Unexpectedly, in just a few hours, their attitude changed by a 180-degree change. It was obviously scared by the military power of the Shandong Army, for fear that the soldiers would turn around and use troops to Changzhou in anger.

Then Sun Tu laughed at himself: "It seems that my injury is quite good, at least it was a blessing in disguise. He actually solved most of the problem of soldiers in our army's winter in one fell swoop."

"It was because of the incompetent position of the low-ranking position that the commander was injured in danger." Hearing this, the subordinates felt ashamed and admitted their mistakes again.

"Okay, since the matter has happened, don't worry about whose fault it is. All you have to do is take this opportunity to get enough benefits, otherwise my injury will be in vain. At least one thing you must do is to get closer to the relationship with the Huainan Army. I can see that Zhao Siliang was making trouble behind the scenes before, but now he is seriously injured and almost caused a disaster. I believe that Peng Yong really can't be at his mercy. In Jiangnan, it's better to have more friends than to have more enemies. Leave this matter to..." Sun Tu swept over the generals in front of him, but hesitated a little: "Where is Dong Ping, where is he?"

"Supervisor Dong is still waiting outside the tent. He said that he was guilty and did not dare to come to see him without permission." Yue Fei hurriedly said in a low voice.

"Hey, let him in." Sun Tu smiled and immediately spoke.

After a while, Dong Ping, who was full of shame, came into the tent. When he saw the wound on Sun Tu's body, his knees became soft and he wanted to kneel down: "It's all Dong Ping's fault, so please punish the commander severely." But he was supported by Yue Fei, who had already been signaled by Sun Tu.

While he was stunned, Sun Tu said, "Dong Ping, are you still blaming me for hitting you dozens of military sticks?"

"I dare not, I don't have any resentment in my heart. It is indeed because of my poor work that caused the soldiers to suffer this grievance. Now it has caused the commander to be seriously injured. I am really ashamed!" Dong Ping said with a serious expression. Indeed, in a sense, Sun Tu's injury was really closely related to him. If he hadn't been too weak and unable to get clothes and quilts from the Huainan Army and Changzhou Prefecture, Sun Tu would not have talked to the Huainan Army alone, and naturally there would have been no subsequent changes.

Sun Tu was also stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "You don't have to do this, and I don't mean to blame you for this. One code is one code. I have punished you for not doing things before, so naturally it is impossible to take your anger on you because of this. However, I still want to remind you about some things. As the commander of the army, you must understand the principle of being kind and not being in charge of soldiers. At that time, you should attack strongly and force the soldiers to seize the clothes and quilts. Even if you make enemies with others, I will not blame you, instead of being influenced by others, and tolerate them in every way. My Shandong soldiers stand tall and have made countless military achievements for the court and the people of the world, and should not suffer such pain! Now you know why I want to hit you with a military stick, right?"

"Yes, remember the teachings of the commander in mind." Dong Ping nodded quickly and responded.

In fact, after all, he has been in Dongping Mansion for many years and has almost completely polished his sharp edges and corners. Unless he has to force him, he really dares to do anything out of order. This is the case when he was captured by Cheng Wanli in Dongping that day, and this time he is the case when he is restrained in Changzhou. But after seeing Sun Tu's previous domineering performance, his inherent concepts are slowly relaxing.

Sun Tu still had expectations for him, so he encouraged him a few more words and then said: "Next, you will contact Peng Yongzhen and Changzhou Prefecture more, and take this opportunity to get more benefits for our soldiers. We will not refuse any food, clothing, weapons, etc. We will also be the best way to bring the Huainan Army to our side. If you can do this, you will be a great achievement!"

"I understand that I will do my best to get things done." Dong Ping naturally understood Sun Tu's intention and nodded immediately and agreed. He also believed that after this incident, the attitude of the Huainan Army towards his own family would definitely change greatly.

After giving all the instructions to say, Sun Tu waved his hand and signaled everyone to retreat. He felt tired and wanted to rest. But just as everyone left the tent one by one, Yue Fei whispered: "By the way, there is another person outside the tent asking for a meeting, it is Fan Feng of the Huainan Army."

"Hmm?" Sun Tu frowned in surprise. He and Fan Feng had a big holiday before. How could this guy come to ask? But everyone has come, and he has been waiting for so long, so he has to meet again, right? So after pondering, he nodded and said, "Then let him in and speak."
