Chapter 766

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit depressing, because they were all brothers here, so there was no need to avoid anything. Therefore, the generals in the Shandong army naturally had to say something very bad to them when Zhang Shuye and the others arrived.

"They really dare to come to my Hangzhou! If you ask me, we will just do it all the time and kill them as before. Let's see who dares to come again!"

As soon as the topic started, it immediately won the approval of many people: "I really dare to come to Hangzhou to pick peaches. Do you really think that our brothers are vegetarian? Isn't it just a thousand people? General, I will destroy them all tonight!"

"Brothers, please calm down. That is the commander and supervisor of the three armies sent by the court. We cannot do anything randomly. It will put General Sun in a dangerous place." Some people were calm and hurriedly spoke to dissuade him. But in terms of the atmosphere on the scene, most of them still tend to use tough means to deal with Zhang Shuye and the others.

As the soldiers defeated many cities in Jiangnan with tough battles, they not only gained military achievements, but also became confident. To put it further, they were also arrogant and powerful generals who should not regard those civil officials who were good at writing and making ingenious things. Even if they were talking about a senior minister in the court now, they did not see any concerns about them, and they were still shouting for fighting and killing.

This is a very rare temperament among all armies in the Song Dynasty, and it can be said that it has never been able to have. If it were replaced by a general from another army, even if he was dissatisfied, he would have to hold it back. However, under the leadership of Sun Tu, under the role model of killing the imperial officials again and again but safely killing the officials of the court again and again, the soldiers of the Shandong army did not take the so-called imperial officials too seriously.

Sun Tu felt this morale and laughed unconsciously. He pressed his hand down and calmed everyone down. He said, "I know that all brothers are dissatisfied with the court's arrangements. Indeed, the court's work is too inauthentic and wants to take away the credit we have earned in this critical moment. However, I don't think that killing them blatantly is a good way to solve the current problem, which will only cause us greater trouble."

After hearing what he said, Song Jiang and several other rational people breathed a little relieved. They were really afraid that they would be out of control after killing people, and even were characterized by the court as having a treason. Sun Tu's eyes swept over their faces intentionally or unintentionally, and then said: "But I will never hand over military power, so what I have to do now is how to hold them in my hands without hurting people."

"It's not easy? Just put them under house arrest. I'm sorry they are incapable of escaping from our grasp!" Wu Song smiled and gave his own thoughts, which immediately won the approval of many people.

"They are certainly not difficult to put them under house arrest. The difficulty is how people convince us that we do this for the sake of the overall situation." Zhu Wuluo frowned and said, "After all, they are nominal commanders, and we are subordinates. It is not nice to say that such subordinates are offended. Of course, our brothers in Shandong Army cannot be affected, but the people and other soldiers, if they are used by those who are interested, it is hard to say."

This is where Sun Tu really feels embarrassed. Of course, he cannot give in. If the other party is willing to stay in his residence, he doesn't mind letting him live a peaceful life, and he can even share some credit for them. But at present, neither Zhang Shuye nor Xuan Cangyong will be willing to do this. What they will inevitably do. What made Sun Tu feel threatened was Zhang Shuye, who seemed peaceful and easy to talk to. This person made him feel threatened, regardless of his reputation or cunning. He must have a legitimate reason to attack them.

Song Jiang nodded, "Yes, although the other troops have been very obedient to the generals during this period, it is really time for that time that they will join the commander and generals of the court, and they will not hesitate to surrender to Zhang Shuye and the others."

"So, as I said, it would be easier to kill them with one knife. No one will follow the dead, right?" Another whispered, but this time there were not many people following them. After Sun Tu glanced over, these people immediately shut up.

"Why don't we use the method we used to deal with before to deal with them? Wouldn't we be able to kill him justifiably?" Someone proposed another method: "In addition, we can set up a bureau to let him meet with a general, and then we will have a personal certificate."

What he proposed was the method of dealing with the military supervisors sent by the court in Shandong, but Sun Tu did not accept this approach this time. Because doing so actually has a considerable risk. If one is not good, it is easy to trap himself. Moreover, Jiangnan is different from Shandong, which has been in battle for many years and has a deep foothold. If a mistake is made, it may lead to chaos, and other troops from all walks of life are not the same as him.

"This is not OK, that is not OK. Could it be that they just let them stay here? How can we feel at ease to send troops to attack Wuzhou?" Even Lu Da was a little impatient and pounded the next desk and said.

"There is one way, it depends on whether General Sun is willing to use it." At this moment, Wu Yong, who had been watching coldly, suddenly spoke and said with a smile: "But this method is a bit unfavorable."

"Let me tell me." Sun Tu suddenly became interested. If there was such a conspiracy that could not be overestimated, no one of his subordinates could compare to this Zhiduoxing.

Wu Yong smiled: "What these civil servants value most is their reputation. If we can make a fuss about it, it will be enough to make them afraid to act recklessly, and they will not dare to leave our control." As he said that, he told some of his own method.

When he heard this, some people were confused and some were laughing. Sun Tu even thought about it and patted his hands: "This method is indeed the most important thing, so let's do it. I believe that as long as they enter this pit, they will no longer be able to turn out our palms."

Lu Dawu Song and others were still a little unhappy about this: "But two civil officials who are powerless, can they have to work so hard to deal with it?"

"What I want is to stand on the side of justice and clean them up, so this method is much more intelligent than other direct actions. Even if it really alarms the court, we will take the blame."

"Will the court really accept this?"

"It's one thing they believe it or not, but the facts are another!" Sun Tu said, and finally made a decision: "Just do it as it is, so that those people in the city can start doing things."

¥¥¥¥¥¥ In the next few days, Zhang Shuye and the others, who had just arrived in Hangzhou, seemed very low-key. Since Sun Tu had already shown his attitude, at least they would not dare to fight against him head-on. After all, they had military power, made great contributions, and were deeply loved by the people. As an enemy, they would hit the stone with eggs.

But behind their backs, they contacted generals like Xu Shenren Shifan, hoping to win over them to gain military power outside the Shandong Army. Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Shuye and Xuan Cangyong to come forward. Their goal is too big. Once they come forward, it will cause a strong backlash from Sun Tu and others.

Relying on the identity of two senior officials in the court, the gains from contact are naturally quite large. Although the generals did not make up their words, the meaning was clear. In fact, they were also intentionally out of Sun Tu's control.

Speaking of which, these generals still owe Sun Tu a big favor, because if he hadn't led his troops in time, let alone being able to win the great contribution of conquering Hangzhou, even his life might not have been saved. Logically speaking, Xu Shen and the others should be grateful to Sun Tu, and no matter how could they stand with Zhang Shuye and the others.

But this is the fact. No matter how great the kindness is, it cannot compare to the actual benefits. To put it more clearly, that is, they have become afraid or even hostile to Sun Tu. Because Sun Tu was too strong, he conquered all the Song troops in Jiangnan in just a few months, including the soldiers under their command. Although these people were willing to obey the orders at this time, they believed that as long as Sun Tu's words were within a few days, they could make themselves lonely, and only hundreds of soldiers could be mobilized by their subordinates, which was something they could not accept.

Just as Sun Tu couldn't accept that everything he had worked hard to capture was picked by someone, Xu Shenren Shifan and other generals were unwilling to hand over the military power in their hands. But Sun Tu's methods and identity were all here, how could they deal with it?

But now with the commander and military supervisor sent by the court and the opportunity to suppress Sun Tu with such a legitimate opportunity, these people can naturally easily make the most beneficial choice. This is only about pros and cons, not about right or wrong. As for the ideas of the soldiers below, they completely ignored them.

Because the soldiers have military discipline and laws, they can still suppress them, but the others are obviously not under the control of these officials and generals.

In the afternoon of that day, when Zhang Shuye and Xuan Cangyongxian came to play chess and spent time, a subordinate walked into the hall with a serious expression: "Zhang Shuai, Xuan Jianjun, things are a bit strange..."

"How to say it? Is someone changing his mind or Sun Tu and the others starting to fight back?" Xuan Cangyong seemed very calm at this time, asked casually, and his hand calmly landed a black spot on the pedestal.

"Yes... there was a sudden rumor in the city that we planned to collect taxes again after quelling the chaos and re-blooming the stone gang. Now the people in the city are already very frightened and dissatisfied, and more and more people are talking and cursing, and even people are starting to come to our side to petition!" The man hesitated for a while and finally told the matter.
