Chapter 765: First Confrontation
Regardless of ancient or modern, regardless of officialdom and people, Chinese people have always been very concerned about the position and seat, especially in some formal occasions, sitting high and low, and even the distance between several people have too much attention, because this is a symbol of status and power, and there can be no mistakes.
And today, Sun Tu, a young military general whose identity is much lower than that of Zhang Shuye and Xuan Cangyong, is so intransigent and sits on the main seat without hesitation, in front of them. Even if he has indeed been sitting like this all the time before, even if he has indeed made great achievements, and is now the de facto commander of the 100,000 army in Hangzhou City, there are still many inappropriate ways to do this, especially to make the two new bosses unable to come to the stage.
For a moment, both of them were stunned, and they didn't know how to deal with it. If you sit down, you will become one level lower than Sun Tu, what kind of system can this become? But if you don't sit, the problem is even worse, because the position of standing below will only be lower.
But Sun Tu was as if he didn't notice their strangeness at all, he still looked concerned, and said with a smile from the seat in front of him: "The two of you must be tired from coming from afar, please sit down and talk first." ”
After glancing at each other, it was Uncle Zhang who reacted first, he smiled lowly, and then really sat on the left-hand side, and Xuan Cangyong finally sat on the right-hand side after lowering his head, but his face was not so good-looking, and his hands trembled slightly.
Sun Tu didn't see it, and looked at the two of them condescendingly: "The two of you came to perform your duties by the will of the imperial court?" But I don't know that the relevant documents can be found on the body? If you don't mind, can you let me take a look? "It's still that domineering look, and he completely controls the initiative in the hall.
Xuan Cangyong finally spoke: "Sun Xuan, of course we will bring the paperwork with us, but this matter can't be seen by just one person, and we have to call several other generals to come, okay?" He called Sun Tu's official position just to break that he was just a four-grade ruler, and his status was far from his own.
But Sun Tu smiled as if he didn't understand his words: "I don't think there is so much trouble, the other generals are now dealing with affairs in the army, but they don't have time to socialize, just give me a look." As long as there is no problem, you can live in Hangzhou, and the official has prepared a residence for the two of you, and it is in a big mansion next to the mansion, which is spacious enough......"
"General Sun, you don't have to worry about accommodation or anything, we were prepared when we came. The top priority now is still the specific situation of the soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the situation of the anti-army in Wuzhou in the west, and the imperial court sent the two of us here to quell the chaos as soon as possible, I don't know when we can continue to use troops? Uncle Zhang finally couldn't bear it anymore, but he still maintained his demeanor, and asked Wen Yan.
"Well, but there's no hurry. The two of you don't know, just a few years ago, our army suffered heavy casualties in the attack on Hangzhou City, and the brothers needed a period of time to recuperate. What's more, now that the rebel army in Wuzhou has been killed by us, we dare not leave the local area, and we will not be able to pose any threat to Jiangnan, so in order to be safe, I intend to send troops again after a while, so as to ensure victory. Sun Tu explained calmly.
His words made Xuan Cangyong's face even more ugly: "In this way, Sun Xuanzhi don't plan to continue to quell the chaos?" It seems that some of the sayings in the court are really right, your Sun Tu has the meaning of raising self-respect! ”
This is a bit heavy, if you change the time and person, the generals who are pointed out at this time are afraid that even if they are not afraid, they will have to call for themselves. But Sun Tu's reaction was still flat: "Xuanjian Jun's words are wrong, since this official is under the order of the imperial court, how can he have such a thought?" All the decisions I made were for the sake of the people of Jiangnan and my Great Song Dynasty soldiers, as the so-called sharpening knives and cutting wood, if they were in a hurry to use troops because of quick success, but they were folded under the Oolong Ridge, this responsibility can not be borne by anyone. In addition, if the resurgence of the anti-thief forces is really caused by a big defeat, it will not be the result that you and I want to see.
"The two of you came from afar, and your knowledge of my Jiangnan affairs is limited after all, so it is reasonable to have such a misjudgment, but this official will not let such problems occur."
"Sun Chanzhi, don't forget, Master Zhang is the commander of the Jiangnan Rebellion appointed by the imperial court, and you are just a general in the army, when will it be your subordinate's turn to give orders and make up your mind?" Xuan Cangyong finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke all the identity topics on the spot.
Uncle Zhang also hurriedly said: "General Sun, this official also knows that you have worked hard in the past two years, and you have made great contributions to the Pingjiangnan Rebellion, but the rules of the court and the army cannot be messed up after all." Of course, if you have any opinions, you can also say them, let's discuss them together, this official is not a stubborn person, he will make decisions according to reality. ”
Sun Tu glanced at Uncle Zhang, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, this Uncle Zhang was much more powerful than Xuan Cangyong, his performance of not being arrogant or impatient, not humble or arrogant actually withstood the momentum and pressure he created. And more importantly, this person didn't have the slightest intention of turning his face and getting angry because of his words and deeds, this kind of city government is the most headache.
Originally, Sun Tu intended to use this subordinate Ma Wei to suppress these two, and it would be best if he subdued them with momentum. Otherwise, he would not be afraid to have a conflict with them, and even he had the intention of putting them under house arrest. Anyway, now Hangzhou is in charge of itself, not to mention only 1,000 people, even 10,000 people, which can be easily controlled.
This Uncle Zhang is worthy of being a person who can leave a name in history and can steadily rise to such a high position, not to mention anything else, this bearing alone is very comparable.
At this time, all Sun Tu can do is procrastination, after all, he can't turn his face: "What Master Zhang said is, but it's a big matter, and now is not the time to discuss." The two of you are still staying first, and after two days, when the other generals are free, it will not be too late for us to discuss slowly. ”
Listening to this perfunctory statement, Xuan Cangyong's face sank again, and he just wanted to say something more, but was preempted by Zhang Shuye: "What General Sun said also makes some sense, then the two of us might as well be respectful and obey." ”
At this point, the first meeting between the superiors and subordinates came to an end, and the atmosphere between the two sides was a little stiff and a little weird. And when the soldiers here were ordered to send them to their residences, the situation was even more depressing, because both those soldiers and the people on the road looked at them with unconcealable hostility, which made Xuan Cangyong's mood worse and worse. It wasn't until they entered the mansion that only their own people were left in the hall that Xuan Jian Jun angrily reprimanded: "How can this really be true, this Sun Tu's courage is too big!" Bachelor Zhang, I'll just say that those rumors in Beijing won't be wrong, this Sun Tu is clearly a disobedient heart, this is completely operating Jiangnan as his own territory, and he doesn't want me to get involved in it at all. This matter must not tolerate him, we must take action to seize his military power as soon as possible, and we must give a table to the court, and we must condemn him! ”
Uncle Zhang also frowned deeply at this time, and it wasn't until the other party said a bunch of things as if he was venting that he sighed and said, "Brother Xuan, I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as you said." You also said that he Sun Tu has regarded Jiangnan as his own territory, and Hangzhou City is even more monolithic by him, you and I have now entered the city, can we really regain military power? Don't leave your life here if things don't work out. ”
These words suddenly made Xuan Cangyong stunned: "How is this possible?" He didn't have the courage to do so, we are the commanders and supervisors of the three armies appointed by the imperial court......"
"Isn't what you've seen along the way telling us enough? The soldiers and civilians in the city have already turned to him, how can we easily get it? And don't forget, how did Zhu Mian die, he was also the commander of the army at that time, and he was in military power, so he would only be stronger than you and me. ”
Xuan Cangyong finally understood, and suddenly shuddered. It was only at this time that he suddenly realized how dangerous his situation was, and that Sun Tuyuan was even more terrifying than he imagined!
"That'...... So what do we say? You can't really go along with it and do something to deceive the court, right? As Xuan Cangyong spoke, he remembered the situation when he met with Gao Taiwei when he took this order. At that time, Gao Taiwei made it very clear that as long as they could take away Sun Tu's military power, it would be the first merit, and it would not be difficult to enter the political hall at that time.
Uncle Zhang smiled bitterly, of course he knew that this colleague's origin was not pure, but at this time, the two were one, and they could no longer have suspicions and disputes, so he said: "So when I came, I advised you to make friends with Sun Tu first, don't be in a hurry to have any conflicts with him, we will slowly contact other generals, and it is okay to withdraw military power little by little." But you, after all, are still too eager. ”
"If Sun Tu hadn't deceived people too much today, I wouldn't have said that impulsively. If you look at his style and rhetoric, it is clear that he is the boss and the boss, but where do you and me be? ”
"There's no way around it, so bear with him. However, I believe that it is absolutely impossible for everyone to have one mind when several military horses gather here in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as we can find a flaw, it will be enough to turn over this body. Uncle Zhang smiled and said: "But in the meantime, I hope you can be patient for the time being, even if he Sun Tu really has any excesses, don't worry about it first, everything should be based on the overall situation." ”
Listening to Uncle Zhang's earnest persuasion, although Xuan Cangyong was unhappy, he could only respond: "Then let him be proud for a few more days, it's a big deal that I will listen to you all this time." ”
