Chapter 656: Confession

Li Kui's outburst really surprised everyone present, including Sun Tu, who never thought that he would suddenly make a move, which made a trace of killing intent suddenly flash in his eyes.

Song Jiang was even more shocked, and immediately roared: "Tie Niu, stop, don't be rude!" He had already sensed Sun Tu's dissatisfaction and beating of him, and if Li Kui committed another offense, the consequences would be too serious.

But Li Kui was already angry at this time, once he made a move, how could he easily stop, and in the blink of an eye, he had already swung his fist in front of Sun Tu, and he saw that a punch was about to be implemented. Suddenly, a person flashed behind Sun Tu, and with one hand, he took his powerful punch to the side, and at the same time, his body moved, and he also followed closely, and his shoulders leaned against him, and he staggered back a stocky man of more than 100 catties, screaming strangely.

Sun Tu, who wanted to take the opportunity to make a move, could only lead but not provoke, and looked at the young guard who rushed out to protect him with some appreciation, this person was Yue Fei!

As Yue Fei, who was received by Sun Tu as a personal soldier, had fully fulfilled his duties at this time, and had already defused Li Kui's seemingly ferocious sneak attack with just one face, and under the rapid counterattack of a few moves, he had already beaten him back and forth, screaming and screaming, but he was helpless.

Don't look at Yue Fei's young age, this martial arts has already won the true legend of Zhou Dong, which is far from being able to resist a reckless man like Li Kui who only relies on his strength but does not have many rules. In just a moment, his body has been hit by several moves, one of which hit his dantian, so that he couldn't slow down his breath, his body shook, and he fell to the ground with a poof, and it seemed that he couldn't get up in a short time.

It was only at this time that the soldiers on the side recovered from the shock, and they didn't need to be ordered anymore, they had already rushed up, and while holding Li Kui down, some people held him firmly with ropes. At the same time, the surrounding generals all showed strange looks, and swept their eyes on Song Jiang and the other Liangshan brothers to see how they would react.

At this time, Song Jiang's face was already pale with shock, but he was finally quite clear-headed, and hurriedly shouted: "Ruler, it was Song Jiang's lax discipline that allowed this black guy to indulge without military law, if he wants to blame, blame me, all the blame for Li Kui's crimes will be borne by me!" ”

Wu Yong, who did not participate in interceding for Song Jiang, was busy giving the others a look at this time, and immediately stepped forward and begged Sun Tu for mercy: "Cha Zhi, Li Kui is reckless and rude, and he is the most righteous, so he is so offensive to Hu Lai, and please spare his life for the sake of his previous meritorious service!" I'm willing to take my place too! ”

"Tsuki, we are willing to replace each other, and please spare Li Kui's life!" Other people who would come to the scene then stepped forward to intercede. Dozens of Liangshan brothers spoke at the same time, and this momentum was really not small.

Sun Tu's face became more and more ugly, and he immediately saw the thoughts of these people, they were thinking of not blaming the public, and they wanted to protect Li Kui. And as soon as they pleaded like this, even the other generals couldn't keep quiet, sure enough, only a moment later, even Shi Wengong, Lu Junyi and other generals who had some disagreements with Song Jiang stepped forward to intercede: "Commandery, the enemy army is in front, killing a brother in the army for a trivial matter at this time will hurt morale after all, please think twice." ”

It turned out that the cronies and generals in the Qingzhou army were silent at this time, staring at these persecutors of Sun Tu with some resentment, especially Li Kui, who dared to offend Sun Tu, and hated to teach him some lessons now.

Sun Tu's face was cloudy, and he quickly made a trade-off in his heart. Li Kui's move did have a very fast impact, and if he was not punished, it would only break the rules of his army. But if he really kills him now, it will chill the hearts of Song Jiang and a large number of other people, and even make them resentful, then the consequences will be even more serious, at least the morale of the army will be shaken, and at worst the Shandong army will be completely split!

It was only at this time that Sun Tu began to regret a little, regretting why he had to absorb everyone in Liangshan into his army in the first place. Just because I underestimated the Water Margin, I still have some love and respect for them, so I thought I could take them to make contributions...... But in fact, these people are used to being thieves, how can they really only listen to their own orders?

The mind was spinning quickly, and a decision was made. He solemnized his face and said: "Since these many people intercede for him, it is not easy for this official to refute everyone's face, so he will not kill Li Kui." But if he does not abide by military law, he will be the first to commit the following crimes, and the capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped! Someone came, stripped him naked, and punished him with a hundred and fifty military sticks, and showed him to the public for three days! And Song Jiang, if you want to apologize for him, then add another twenty military sticks, a total of one hundred and twenty military sticks, can you be convinced? ”

"I ......" Song Jiang's heart twitched suddenly when he heard this, he was already in pain after more than a dozen sticks before, if he really took one hundred and twenty sticks, even if he didn't die, he would lose half his life, and he wouldn't even be able to fall to the ground in a few months. But after facing Sun Tu's shining cold eyes, he didn't dare to bargain anymore, so he could only say in a muffled voice: "Humble and willing to be punished." ”

......When the other Liangshan brothers heard this heavy punishment, they were a little anxious, and they wanted to persuade them again, but they were rudely interrupted by Sun Tu: "The army has its own rules, and I have already dealt with them lightly in front of you." If anyone dares to intercede, he will be guilty of the same crime with them! ”

With the prestige of Sun Tu's body, even these bold Liangshan brothers were all silent, and they didn't dare to say a word more, so they could only helplessly watch Song Jiang and more than a dozen others being lined up and severely punished with military sticks. The sound of the thumping stick made everyone's hearts tremble, and it also made them re-examine Sun Tu and their own identity, and understand that there are some things that cannot be done.

After recklessly suppressing the people in Liangshanbo in the army, Sun Tu's face softened a little, and he looked at the soldiers who had all walked out of the military tent and looked at him with some apprehension. Seeing that they were still wearing only thin clothes and shivering in the cold wind, Sun Tu's face became a little self-reproachful: "The official is incompetent and has made the brothers suffer, but don't worry, I will help you get winter clothes soon, and I will definitely not let people freeze again!" ”

Now, it's time to show grace to win the hearts and minds of the army!

Sun Tu didn't delay anything, he immediately took a team of personal guards and walked straight towards the Huainan Army camp a few miles away from the side.

Seeing Sun Tu leading the team to come, the officers and men in the Huainan military camp all showed panic, and some of them even subconsciously picked up swords and guns, as if the other party was not the officers and soldiers who were walking with them, but the Fang La counterarmy opposite. It wasn't until some generals shouted that these panicked soldiers put down their weapons in disdain, and Sun Tu put too much pressure on them.

Even if he was worried, since Sun Tu had come over, Peng Yongzhen couldn't avoid it, so he could only bite the bullet and greet him with a hypocritical smile: "Why did Sun Chuzhi come to my camp so soon, I still plan to go over to visit you later." ”

"Hehe, Peng Chan has a heart, it doesn't make a difference whether you go or I come, since I have something to find you, naturally it should be me who comes." Although Sun Tu smiled, there was no smile in his eyes, and even that cold gaze made Peng Yongzhen feel cold, so he could only invite him into his big tent with a stiff smile.

The two sat down, Peng Yongzhen was just about to say a few words of greeting with him, but when the relationship was lala, Sun Tu had already gone straight to the point and asked a question that made his face change: "Peng Xuanzhi, what is the battle here in the daily state city, why did I receive two completely different battle reports?" Is it the credit of my Shandong soldiers who repelled the rebels this time, or is it your Huainan Army? ”

"This ......" was so positively questioned by Sun Tu, and stared at by him with a substantial gaze, Peng Yongzhen was even more weak-hearted, and the rhetoric that should have come with his mouth open was actually unable to say a word, and his forehead was even more sweaty.

After a while, he said hesitantly: "This matter...... There should be some misunderstanding in this matter. In fact, the first battle in Changzhou was the result of the cooperation of our two armies and horses. ”

"Really? Then why did you not tell the truth in the battle report you sent to Jinling, not only took all the credit, but also complained to Zhu Shuai, saying that my Shandong soldiers were afraid of the enemy like tigers, which led to the failure to complete the battle? Sun Tu asked calmly, not seeing the slightest hint of joy or anger.

Peng Yong's heart was even more panicked, and he said after a long time: "There is such a thing? How could I not know anything about it? Counselor Zhao, who was sent by Zhu Shuai to my side, was in charge of this war report, maybe he made a mistake in writing? Suddenly, he found a way to shirk his breath of relief, and said in a loud voice: "Come on, go and invite Counselor Zhao Siliang Zhao to speak." ”

Sun Tu listened to his lame reason and looked down on him even more, this person as the commander of the first army did not take responsibility to such a point, no wonder the Huainan army as a whole would be so unbearable, after all, it would be a nest of bears.

smiled coldly, and said, "Can't you imagine that Peng Chan would delegate power so much?" It's really eye-opening for you to let a counselor make his own decisions without even looking at a major military report. ”

In the face of such ridicule and ridicule, Peng Yongzhen still laughed and did not dare to have any seizures. After seeing that Sun Tu even dared to threaten Zhu Mian, as well as the powerful combat power of the Shandong Army, he didn't dare to turn his face because of this trivial matter. Anyway, no matter how big the matter is, someone will stand up to it, and he is forced to be helpless, so just pretend to be stupid.

But obviously Sun Tu didn't intend to let him go like this, and at this time he squinted his eyes and said: "Let's put aside the specific details of the battle in Changzhou first, but I want to ask Peng Zhan for an explanation from you, why do you sit back and watch my Shandong soldiers suffer from the cold and refuse to help when you still have many winter clothes in your army?" If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, then I can only give you an explanation! Speaking of this, the murderous aura on his body suddenly appeared, and he rushed straight to Peng Yongzhen......
