When Qin Chi stepped out of the city of Changshu and returned to the military camp, he immediately met Pang Wanchun. The latter asked anxiously: "How was the talk? So does Sun Tu mean to open the city and surrender?"

Although the Wu army still has an overwhelming advantage now, Pang Wanchun knew that his family was already in a difficult situation and had to try every means to take down Changshu City as soon as possible. Because he had received a secret letter from Hangzhou not long ago, there was a shortage of food and grass in the rear, and it was almost impossible to support the continuous consumption of the 100,000 army.

Although the Jiangnan area is prosperous and prosperous, it cannot withstand the constant changes over the past few years. Zhu Xie and a group of corrupt officials have long made the local people live in poverty, so Fang La can only respond in one fell swoop. However, in the two years after their uprising, the people in Jiangnan did not have much better life. As the war escalated, the people were even more miserable. If the taxes were increased, the people in Jiangnan who had just joined the Wu Kingdom might rebel again, which was something that Fang La could not accept.

If you want to avoid such uncontrollable results, you have to take Changshu as soon as possible, and temporarily stop the war, rest and wait until the people have taken this breath to move north. Therefore, Pang Wanchun is burdened more now. Not only will he win, but he also has to win in the shortest time. If he can persuade Sun Tu's troops to surrender, it will be a perfect result.

As the Minister of Rites of Wu, Qin Chi naturally knew the inside story. He also said with a serious expression: "Don't worry, after discussing today, Sun Tu has already moved. However, he was particularly worried, worried that this was a plan for us to break the city, so he put forward several conditions."

After hearing what he said, Pang Wanchun was happy and asked hurriedly, "But what are the conditions?" Because he knew very well that Sun Tu would propose conditions only if he really surrendered with sincerity.

"First, he asked the emperor to issue an order to pardon his previous crimes."

"This is a matter of course. I think Your Majesty will agree to his request. If you take my Wu Kingdom seriously, just let him be relieved by a hundred times."

"Secondly, he also proposed that we must not kill anyone without arbitrarily after opening the city, whether it is the people in the city or the soldiers of Shandong soldiers."

"Haha, he was too worried. As long as he was willing to open the city and surrender, both the people and the soldiers were all subjects of the Wu Kingdom. How could this general kill innocent people? You can promise him that if he doesn't believe it, this general can go outside the city to swear and let the heaven and earth prove it!" Pang Wanchun answered without hesitation, and he really did not have the intention to go back on his word and kill all the Shandong army.

"This third item is a bit strange." Qin Chi showed a little strange. "He said that if our army is really sincere, he must retreat ten miles. As long as we do this for a few days, he will surrender within five days!"

"Huh?" Pang Wanchun burst out slightly when he heard this request: "What is his intention? Is he worried that we would deceive him, in order to prevent me from taking the opportunity to enter the city after opening the city? But now I am stationed in Changshu City eight miles away, and it is difficult to control it." This made him feel a little doubtful. Is the other party really willing to surrender, or is he having other ideas?

"The Xiaguan also asked Sun Tu, and he only said that this was for the sake of precautions, and he was very persistent in this, leaving no room for maneuver." Qin Chi said, and looked at Pang Wanchun again: "Shuai Pang, the Xiaguan thought that this matter could be followed by him. As long as we are prepared, we are not afraid of him causing any mystery."

"Oh? How to prevent it?"

"We can retreat, but we retreated the main force to the north, which completely cut off his escape route. If he really wanted to break through the siege, we would be confident enough to siege and kill it. And once we leave the city, he would definitely lose 30,000 to 40,000 people in the Shandong Military Region, which is much more certain than our continuous attack on the city now."

After hearing this suggestion, Pang Wanchun nodded: "Your idea is good. As long as you cut off your back, you will not be afraid that he will make a fuss. Just act according to this and tell them that everything is correct. Just wait for Your Majesty's will to let them surrender to our court!" He made up his mind and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, the matter had a perfect result.

But soon, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. It seemed that something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't grasp the key point. He could only regard it as if he was too suspicious and put it aside and ignored it first.

Since they had made up their minds, the Wu army no longer attacked the city and began to retreat as planned, but their retreating direction was facing south, and they were doing what they did under the gaze of the Song army, which was obviously warning the defenders in the city not to be lucky.

But their movement fell into Sun Tu's eyes standing at the top of the city. At this time, his mouth was slightly raised, with a hint of sarcasm: "This Pang Wanchun is really worthy of being the top general in the anti-military army, and he is so cautious."

Zhu Wu beside him smiled: "But he would never have thought that this was actually as expected by us. I believe that he would regret his decision in a short while."

"But this is a smart person. I can't give him too much time to think about it. I must act as planned as soon as possible." As he said that, Sun Tu swept over Song Jiang and Dong Ping beside him: "Then I will leave the safety of Changshu and these brothers to you, but I have to guard the city!"

"Master, should you think about it? Or let us take the risk..." Dong Ping couldn't help but say something to persuade him. Sun Tu's plan was too risky, maybe it would be a life-and-death life. He should actually replace his subordinate generals, not the commander of the three armies.

This sentence immediately won the approval of Lin Chong and others beside him. At that moment, many people spoke out and persuaded: "Master, you are the backbone of the entire Shandong army. There must be no mistakes. For such a risky thing, let the last general come on your behalf!"

After hearing the crowd, I said a lot, Sun Tu smiled and waved his hand and said, "When it comes to danger, there is no danger? Since we were betrayed by Zhu Jie, we have been murderous step by step. It is really safe to stay in Changshu? This small county town has long been ruined. Maybe the enemy can destroy it with another attack. At that time, the people who stay here will still be in danger?

"You also know my character. I, Sun Tu, are definitely not the ones who are willing to be beaten passively. Since I have such an opportunity to turn defeat into victory, I will never miss it. Moreover, you were working hard in the previous battles, and I, the commander of the three armies, only watch on the wall, which makes me feel at ease? "Of course, the most important thing is that if you use surprise troops and tricks, how many of you can compare with my Sun Tu? Since this is the solution I came up with, I should naturally take this risk. I have received your kindness, but this is a military order. All you have to do is to defend Changshu and stabilize the anti-army. As long as you do these two things, your contribution will not be smaller than mine!"

After hearing what Sun Tu said and looking at his firm look, everyone knew that he had made up his mind and could not make any changes. At this moment, they no longer persuaded him, but they all said seriously: "I know, I will act according to the general's orders, stabilize the anti-army, and maintain Changshu!"

"That's good." Sun Tu smiled happily, looked up at the gradually darkening sky: "I will go out of the city tonight, and I will rely on you to deal with the enemy outside the city."

It was almost the second update and it was already dark.

The rains and rains in recent days not only make the weather cold, but also make the stars and moons dull, and the whole world is pitch black.

Under such conditions, the Wu army had retreated more than ten miles away according to Sun Tu's request. Even if they were still stationed in front of Changshu City, it would be impossible to find that the South Gate had quietly opened the line in time.

An army of more than 300 people quietly left the city. This is a group of elite Shandong troops who are brave and good at fighting, with a shiny look in their eyes! If we talk more about it, they were trained by Sun Tu, the most elite in the Qingzhou army and the best scout camp who has experienced many battles.

At this time, in addition to the scout camp commander Shi Qian, there were also two infantry war masters Wu Song and Lu Da. The only elite combat power was to sneak attack the enemy camp in the dark, it would be enough for the 100,000 Wu troops to drink a pot.

But they did not kill the Wu army camp that had already sent its main force to the north, but walked the other way, quietly steadily towards the south. The team of more than 300 people was moving very fast, but almost no movement was made, just like a group of hunters in the dark night, quietly touching the prey they had been targeting.

It was not until more than half an hour later that Shi Qian, who was leading the way, suddenly raised his right fist to keep the entire army still, but he found a Wu army camp ahead.

Although the Wu army had sent all the main forces to the north, several troops were arranged on all sides of Changshu to think that they would be the backup. However, the garrison here obviously had no defense. It was late at night, and there were only a few soldiers in the camp still on duty, and most of them were dozing off.

Seeing this, Sun Tu immediately made a decision. After a few gestures, the team quickly turned into pieces and secretly touched silently from the side of the Wu army camp. During this process, no one in the Wu army in the barracks noticed something different. After all, who would have thought that the Song army would come out of the city and just pass by them without killing a single person?

After leaving the barracks for several miles, the elite troops gathered again and rushed forward all night. It was not until the sky got dark that they found a secluded forest to rest. At this time, they were only one day away from their target Suzhou!
