Peng Yongzhen, who was already in a state of confusion, frowned even deeper when he heard this. He only said that the Shandong Army sent someone to urge the cold-proof clothes he had agreed to, so he wanted to send a subordinate to send him away. But when the words came to his mouth, he changed his mind and decided to say, "Please bring in." At this time, he didn't want to offend the Shandong Army anymore.

After a while, Zhu Wu was taken into the tent. After he bent down and saluted and sat down, Peng Yongzhen asked with concern: "Counselor Zhu, has Mr. Sun's injuries improved? To be honest, I was thinking about going to visit him just now."

"I was worried about Mr. Peng. My general has improved. He is injured, so he can't move around for the time being." Zhu Wu smiled and said.

"That's good. Are you here for the cold-proof clothes? I'll ask someone to go to the camp to prepare and send it to you..." Since I had agreed before, Peng Yongzhen did not hesitate or make things difficult this time. Before the other party could mention it, he made arrangements first.

"Thank you for your assistance from the commander. I am a member of the Shandong Army. Thank you for your help." Zhu Wu hurriedly clasped his fists and thanked him, and then smiled and said, "But I came here not only to ask for these things, but actually there is another thing I want to discuss with the commander."

"Oh, but what's the matter? Tell me."

Zhu Wu was not in a hurry to talk about the matter, but instead turned his eyes to the personal soldiers in the tent. Peng Yongzhen immediately understood what he meant, so he waved his hand and signaled the few people to withdraw first. Until the only two of them were left in the tent, he whispered: "You and I must have a consensus on how to deal with Zhao Siliang."

"You..." Peng Yongzhen suddenly trembled in his heart, and then he understood the truth of the matter. I am afraid that Zhao Siliang's death was really inseparable from the Shandong Army. This made him feel scared and even his eyes changed a little. But as soon as he exposed everything, he swallowed it back. Even though he was 70% or 80% sure that the person was killed by the Shandong Army, the other party would never admit it without evidence. Speaking it at this time would only make the harmonious scene stiff.

After his mind quickly turned, he looked at the other party and said, "I wonder what Mr. Sun is planning?"

"Zhao Siliang's wolfish ambitions and wanted to disrupt the morale of our army. It is really a crime to be punished. Therefore, in our general's opinion, this person must have colluded with the rebel Fang La and his gang early in the morning, so he came up with this series of things. This matter must be reported to the court as soon as possible and the justice and punishment were made. I wonder what Chief Peng thought?" Zhu Wu said, his eyes were already staring at the other party's face, which made Peng Yongzhen feel a little scared.

After a while, he slowly said: "What do you mean is to sign the signature of both you and me to report the truth to Zhu Shuai?" He specifically focused on the word "truth".

"It's not only Zhu Shuai, but also Bian Jing. After all, it's important, so you must be careful. I wonder what you think, Mr. Peng?" Zhu Wu said a bolder and more decisive way.

This made Peng Yongzhen unable to remain calm anymore, and the shock on his face was completely revealed: "You...you are so brave..." As the commanders of the whole country, they were in the fourth rank, and they were indeed qualified to bypass Zhu Jie and submit a memorial to the court alone, but this was something that had never happened in the army in the past. After all, in terms of rules, Zhu Jie was their immediate boss. If they had anything, they could report to Zhu Jie first, and then report to the court after he made a judgment. Bypassing him, he would just report it to the court, saying that it would be a contempt for the boss, and if it was serious, it would be a fight against him!

If it were another time, even if he had to borrow Peng Yongzhen and others' courage, he would not dare to agree to do such extraordinary things with Sun Tu. But in the current situation, Zhao Siliang was already dead in his camp, and he also agreed to send winter clothes to the Shandong Army for free, which would make Zhu Xie believe that he would be an enemy. So when he thinks about it carefully, there is actually no difference between whether he is a memorial or not.

No, there are still differences. If you don’t report this memorial, you will be very passive, but if you go to it, at least Sun Tu’s alliance will take a certain initiative. If the court really investigates this matter seriously, it will be a big problem for Zhu Xie. Maybe the other party will calm down and hold back this breath!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that doing so would do more than he would do, and it also turned his resistance and fear from the beginning to recognition. Although he was a general, his mind was definitely not stupid, otherwise he would not be able to be a high-ranking official like the commander.

So after a long period of confusion and silence, he finally nodded: "This matter is not impossible. However, one thing that I have to make clear is that Zhao Siliang died in the tent last night, so it is impossible to take his confession or punish him with the proof of justice."

Zhu Wu laughed in his heart. This should be the condition proposed by the other party - that is, the Shandong Army testified that Zhao Siliang was killed because he failed to attack Sun Tu and eventually died, but it had nothing to do with the Huainan Army. As long as the Shandong Army and them confessed uniformly, the two sides could reach an agreement and report it together.

Sun Tu had long speculated about this, so Zhu Wu nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, it was a cheaper one, and he actually made him die so happily. Since that's the case, let's write a complete military newspaper and report it together, and send it to Jinling and Bianliang at the same time. How about it?"

Peng Yongzhen was still a little confused because he knew very well that he would have no way out of his way out and would become Zhu Xie's enemy. But soon, he bit his teeth and nodded, "Just as you said, we will report it together!" Zhao Siliang's death had cut off his way out, and at this time there was only one way left. As for life or death, it could only depend on luck.

Zhu Wu immediately took out a military newspaper from his arms and passed it over. Peng Yongzhen didn't ask, but took it directly and looked at it. After a while, he nodded: "It seems that Mr. Sun has indeed made all preparations and guessed the consequences of Zhao Siliang Juyu's own actions. Then we will work together as you said." As he said that, he had already raised a note, signed his name, and then stamped his seal on paper. In this way, there was no possibility of any change.

Zhu Wu took it carefully, and after seeing it, he smiled and said, "I believe this is the best result for both our army. Now that internal troubles are eliminated, I believe that it will be able to eliminate the rebels in Jiangnan soon and achieve some achievements!"

"I hope so." Peng Yongzhen said softly with some disconfidence. He knew very well that from now on, his Huainan army will become a thorn in Zhu Xie's side like Sun Tu's Shandong army, but he didn't know what would be waiting for him next...

No matter what he thought, Sun Tu would not have any delay this time. He sent someone to send two joint military newspapers to Jinling and Bianliang with a fast horse. Five days later, he sent them to Zhu Jie's desk.

After seeing this military newspaper, Zhu Jie was in a bad mood and was even more furious. He overturned the coffee table in front of him, and shouted angrily: "Baste, Zhao Siliang, this trash! Sun Tu, Peng Yongzhen, you are so brave. You dare to kill my people and even pour such a large pot of dirty water on my head. Do you really think that I dare not kill you!"

He was really angry because he had never encountered such a case of being framed. In the past, Zhu Xie used all kinds of conspiracies to frame his opponents, but no one dared to use such means to deal with him. What he couldn't accept was that the military newspaper was clearly written and had sent another military newspaper with the same content to Bianliang, which made him unable to hide it!

Seeing Zhu Xie being angry, all the trunks in the hall were silent. The servants even knelt on the ground, not even breathing too much, for fear of causing Zhu Shuai to get angry and become the target of venting his anger. Only Xue Xian, the closest aide, dared to come forward at this time, picked up the military newspaper from the ground, and read it carefully.

"Xue Xian, do you think there is still room for recovery for this matter? Is there any way to refute them? Then Zhao Siliang is my man. Once he is really determined to collude with Fang La, even I can't get rid of it." After a long period of anger, Zhu Xie finally calmed down a little, thinking about what to do to make up for it.

Xue Xian shook his head helplessly after flirting with his eyebrows and thinking for a while: "Shuai Zhu, this matter is probably difficult. Fang La was originally a problem that the court must eradicate. Now that they forcibly pull it with Zhao Siliang, it will inevitably make the emperor angry, and even Grand Master Cai may not be willing to excuse him."

"But he is a clan of the royal family after all, how could he collude with the thief?"

"This is the key. Although Zhao Siliang is a branch of the royal family, he is from the Taizu lineage..."

Just this sentence quickly turned the anger on Zhu Xie's face into horror. He understood that this matter was indeed more serious than he thought. Now the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is a descendant of Taizong, and Taizong's method of succession to the throne was not so open and upright. This made the Taizu family always a taboo in the court. Now some people say that the descendants of Taizu actually colluded with the rebel Fang La, which may be in line with the hearts of some people. Maybe someone else would use this to make a big fuss!

Thinking of this, Zhu Xie felt a layer of cold sweat on his body. He suddenly realized how huge a mistake he had made before, which could even be said to be fatal.

"So Zhu Shuai, what we have to do now is not to excuse him, but to quickly draw a clear line with Zhao Siliang, otherwise if someone uses it, the consequences will be hard to say." Xue Xian suggested with a serious expression.
