In the end, Tong Guan didn't really do anything to Sun Tu. He just waved helplessly and asked his confidants to leave, and at the same time asked his confidants to prepare a military tent to settle down. Sun Tu was his man after all, and his status had long surpassed that of ordinary generals. He always wanted this kind of face care.

However, this does not mean that this matter can be exposed so easily. After all, Gao Qiu died. Even though Tong Guan was actually very happy to hear the news of his old rival's death, he also knew that there were endless troubles and had to think of a solution. So he quickly summoned a few confidants and discussed the countermeasures with them.

Those who were specially called by Tong Guan to discuss such a big event were naturally the subordinates in the army who were most valued and trusted and had excellent abilities. The four people who came were among them, including the two literary and military officials, and they were all figures in the army who could truly influence Tong Guan.

The writer is a couple of counselors. Although they only have the sixth and seventh ranks, they have great power, namely Han Hao and Feng Jing. The two generals are generals who have followed Tong Guan for a long time and have made many contributions to him when they were in the battle with Xixia, Ma Shande and Ren Changqing.

Even though these four people were all brave and knowledgeable, after listening to Tong Guan's narration, they also reacted strangely with his previous reaction. They were very surprised and were stunned for a long time before they came to their senses. Then, they exclaimed even more: "The Marquis of Yue is too brave, he actually dares..." None of them could believe his reason for saying that Gao Qiu died of cold, but it was not easy to tell them.

"So you please help me think about it carefully, how should we deal with him?" Tong Guan asked slowly, still gloomy.

The few people looked at each other for a while, and finally calmed down from this shock. Then Feng Jing said first: "Does Tong Shuai think it's hard to take him and ask him for guilt?"

Han Hao followed up and said, "This may cause greater trouble to Tong Shuai. After all, the relationship between Yue Hou and Tong Shuai is here. If you really do this, not to mention anything else, it will weaken our momentum, which makes people suspect that this matter is related to Tong Shuai."

Tong Guan nodded in agreement, which was also the key to his indecision. Attention to Sun Tu is one aspect, but it really threatens himself. He doesn't mind pushing this young man to die. But the current situation is obviously not that simple.

"I thought I shouldn't do this, which would only shake the morale of the army." Ren Changqing also expressed his opinion: "You may not be very clear. This Yue Hou has a great reputation in the army. Even the soldiers of the border army have too many people who have long admired him and highly praised him. If Tong Shuai really attacked him for this, I am afraid that the soldiers in the army would not accept it."

"What's more, there are those kind of brothers watching each other. So this matter is even more unforgettable!" Ma Shande also expressed his concerns.

In fact, these Tong Guan had already considered it, so he asked the most critical point: "How should we deal with him?"

"This person can only be idle, not reused, nor can he be punished." Han Hao said seriously: "Fortunately, he did not lead the army this time, so as long as Tong Shuai arranged a free job for him, it would be enough to be dismissed. As for the court, we can report the facts first and follow the recommendations of the Yue Hou, saying that Taiwei Gao died suddenly due to the wind and cold. If the court really wants to pursue the matter, he must first ask Yue Hou for asking! We are safe for the time being."

"There is another point. Although the death of Taiwei Gao is serious, it is not worth mentioning than the major event of seizing the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. So as long as we can defeat the Liao army and capture Youzhou City this time, we don't have to worry about it anymore. The court will never re-report the old things, so it will be blamed on Tong Shuai." Ren Changqing said again.

Tong Guan frowned a little, and things actually got back to the most difficult problem at the moment. Defeating the Liao army and recapturing Youzhou was just a word, but it was so difficult to do it. But in the end, he nodded and agreed to this proposal. He really couldn't come up with a more appropriate way to deal with this problem at the moment. It can be said that Sun Tu's arrival caused him a lot of trouble.

After pondering for a while, Tong Guan said, "Then you appoint Sun Tu as the military counselor and work with you to discuss the enemy's military affairs. Sun Tu has some skills in using military forces. You can also talk to him later to see if there are any strategies you can use."

Within a few words, Sun Tu's arrangement was considered to be the one who decided to give military power to him now, and only by keeping him by his side can Tong Guan feel at ease. Otherwise, I really don't know what trouble this guy will make in the army again. To be honest, Sun Tu's movements in the past few years have exceeded the things others have done in their lifetime. Even a person with extensive knowledge like Tong Guan can't stand it.

Another point is something that Tong Guan never mentioned, and it is also the key to making him feel cautious about Sun Tu, that is, this person's attitude is much tougher than before. When facing himself just now, both in his state and in claiming that he had the intention of confronting him head-on. Although this behavior is not very obvious, for someone like Tong Guan who is used to being servile and trembling with his subordinates, he immediately grasped the key point.

Others, whether they are close friends like Qin Gan, Ren Changqing, or the generals who lead their own troops, will always be shorter when facing Tong Guan, and it is even more natural to claim to be humble. But Sun Tu, however, kept saying that he regarded himself as me and refused to bow his head at all. This shows that his mentality has changed. He is no longer the little person who needs to rely on Tong Guan to breathe.

This is true. Today's Sun Tu is also considered a well-known figure in the court and army. The identity of Yue Hou and Jiedu is not fake. Even in front of a big man like Tong Guan, he is only slightly lowered. There is indeed no need to bow down. But this natural reaction fell into Tong Guan's eyes, which is a manifestation of being centrifugal, so it is naturally impossible to pay attention to it as much as before.

So sending him as a military counselor is a small warning - in your current situation, if you dare to cause any trouble, this commander can not get any military power, and naturally he can find any reason to execute you!

But it is hard to say whether this warning can scare Sun Tu. At least in the next few days, Sun Tu was quite calm and composed. After resting, he began to ask about military affairs as the counselor. This really made Han Hao and others who were responsible for watching him feel a headache.

Although they are both counselors, there are always differences in height. Although they are trusted by Tong Guan, they are only sixth-rank officials after all. But Sun Tu is different. He is a third-rank official and has the status of a marquis to rely on. In addition, the soldiers respect him quite much, so it is not too difficult to understand the military situation.

He is not a person who treats himself as an outsider and is at peace with himself, so in the next few days, he actually attended several military intelligence meetings uninvited several times, which made everyone else a little overwhelmed. It seems that it is difficult to explain such a person to Tong Shuai.

The change of things came soon. On the afternoon of March 12, two armies slowly came to the Zhongjun Dazhai from the camp on both sides. The two wings of the Song army came together to discuss the next strategy and tactics with Tong Guan.

It turned out that as time went by, the frictions between the Song and Liao armies became more and more frequent, and it seemed that the decisive battle was about to break out at any time. For the hundreds of thousands of troops in front of us, being able to cooperate with each other is the key to victory or defeat. This naturally requires several major generals to reach a consensus and agree on a practical strategy.

So today, the two veterans of the Zong brothers who had previously guarded the two wings of the army, Zhong Shizhong and Zhong Shidao, brought people to the Zhongjun Dazhai to discuss countermeasures.

These two were veteran generals in the Song army, with a higher reputation than Tong Guan, so with their arrival, the entire military camp became more solemn and excited. Many people came on the way they could enter the village just to see the style of the two old generals.

Sun Tu was naturally among them. From a distance, he saw two old generals wearing armor and riding tall horses. Although their hair and beards were silver-white, they were still powerful and powerful. Under the escort of hundreds of soldiers on foot, they came to the central army's tent.

These two old generals are one of the few first-class generals in the Song Dynasty today, and are even descendants of the Zong family's generals who have a long history. Although the Zong family was not well-known among the people in later generations, they were only among the Yang family generals, Hu family generals, etc., which were mostly famous by storytellers, and even better than Di Qing's sect.

Since his ancestors assisted the Song Dynasty to determine the universe, the Zong family had made various contributions to the Song Dynasty. Then his son Zong Shiheng created a famous Zong family army. Later, there were eight sons who became famous in the western frontier (some theory, the later Yang family general Qilang and Bahu came from this). To this day, the two brothers Zhong Shidao and Zong Shizhong have been guarding the borders for the Song Dynasty for many years and became a generation of Western frontier generals. They all call the two old Zong Xianggong and Xiao Zong Xianggong, but they dare not call them by their names.

Such a person is too unusual and rare to be in the Song Dynasty, which is so civil and noble, and martial. It can be said that they are the last pillar and conscience of the Song Dynasty's official army, and are great figures that all the soldiers admire from the heart. Compared with them, Tong Guan, who mostly relied on the emperor's favor, seemed a bit insignificant, even if he was the current commander of the army...

Because of this, even though he had many opinions about these two people, he could only pinch his nose and greet him in person, showing enough respect for them.

But just as he had a false smile on his face and came forward, the two old generals did not come forward to greet him immediately after dismounting. Instead, they turned their eyes at the young man mixed with the soldiers, and then laughed heartily: "Looking at your extraordinary spirit, it must be Sun Tu, the Marquis of Yue, right?"
