Overhead, the sky was pitch black, and a few lightning flashes from time to time tore through the darkness of the night sky, and the rumbling thunder shook the hearts of the people in the city. When the bean-sized raindrops crackled down from above, even if it was just after dusk, Qingzhou City was already silent, and there was no half of a figure in the streets and alleys.

But in the camp of the Xiangjun army in the north of the city, at this time, more than a thousand soldiers stood straight and straight outside like javelins, and the thunder above Ren continued to explode, and the heavy rain had completely drenched their whole bodies, and these people did not shake at all, still staring at the front with resolute eyes, listening to the lectures of Sun Tu, the prisoner of their own house.

At this time, Sun Tu's appearance was as embarrassed as everyone else, and he was completely wet from head to toe, but his voice was still loud, completely overshadowing the heavy rain that was falling: "I know that you have practiced very hard for more than half a month, and many of you have been injured and bleeding. You must feel that you have come a long way, or at least a real army. But you are wrong, in my opinion, you are still too far away from the title of soldier, you can only stand in line and walk in unison, and those simple battle formations can only prove that you have a strong physique, but it is not enough to defend your family and country. Even in my eyes, you are just a bunch of underdogs! ”

Listening to these obviously demeaning words, although all the sergeants did not dare to speak out, their eyes all showed a look of indignation. But Sun Tu still shouted loudly as if he didn't see their expressions: "You may not think so, thinking that this official is alarmist, but you are wrong, I am just stating a fact." You have indeed made progress, even better than the Jiangzhou township soldiers I led before, but this is because you are already physically stronger than the southerners, and you don't have to worry about foreign affairs since you entered the barracks, so you are only a little stronger than the Jiangzhou township soldiers, which is really not worth mentioning.

"And you may not know how powerful my Qingzhou soldiers were in the beginning. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was able to unify the north and make everyone in the world fearful of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers at the beginning. Back then, your ancestors were able to sweep the world under the leadership of Cao Cao with only the most rudimentary weapons, and almost unified the Central Plains. And you, until now, you can only stay in this city, let alone defend against foreigners, even for the people of Qingzhou to sweep away the bandits from all directions. Do you not feel shame and shame? ”

Maybe many of these people don't know who Cao Cao is, let alone how proud his achievements and achievements were at that time, but they still understand how heroic and good their ancestors fought a thousand years ago, sweeping the world, what an elite army of victories!

Finding that everyone's spirit had been improved again, Sun Tu shouted loudly again: "Let today's thunderstorm wash away all the laziness on your body, and from tomorrow onwards, give me twelve points of spirit to practice with all my strength, I want to see a real Qingzhou elite soldier who is enough to make the Quartet thieves change their demeanor within three months!" ”

After a pause, Sun Tucai shouted and asked, "Did you all hear clearly?" Answer me? When he shouted this, another thunderclap exploded overhead, but it was still heard by everyone

That's it.

Without the slightest hesitation, the more than 1,000 soldiers also roared in unison at the same time: "We will obey the orders of the capital eunuch!" The sound had even drowned out the rumbling thunder and spread in all directions, so that the people of the city could hear it clearly.

Several subordinate generals such as Luda and others who accompanied him were all impressed, and they couldn't imagine that Sun Tu could completely condense this Qingzhou Xiang army, which was originally just a rabble, into a team worthy of a battle in a short period of time. In fact, only they know that today's Qingzhou soldiers are stronger than more than eighty percent of the local army in the world.

In the final analysis, this is because Sun Tu was able to distribute all the money and food in place, so that this writer was grateful to him. Qingzhou is a place where the people are simple, and these soldiers of the Xiang army have fallen to the bottom, and they can't even afford to eat, but the appearance of Sun Tu has changed their fate, which will naturally make them grateful, and at the same time, they will carry out Sun Dujian's orders without any discount.

Of course, in addition to the soldiers' dedication to training, their ability to make such great progress is also related to the fact that their own physique is already stronger than that of the southerners, as well as the guidance of Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and other military masters. Since Sun Tu came to Qingzhou and entered the barracks, these people have not had a day off, and all of them are practicing in accordance with the rules set by Sun Tu, and they have almost been able to do what they order.

But Sun Tu had greater expectations for them, as he just said, the Qingzhou soldiers were an important team of Cao Cao's family thousands of years ago, with their strong combat power, he did not have much strength in the early stage, but he pacified the entire northern Central Plains, and even almost swallowed the land south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, in Sun Tu's mind, this Qingzhou Xiang Army still has a lot of potential to be tapped, not to mention that compared with the elite border army that has been fighting for many years, at least it can wipe out all the bandits and thieves in Qingzhou by itself.

It was only when the troops dispersed and returned to the camp with Sun Tu's permission that several generals came over, among whom Huang Wenbing still had some doubts on his face, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Eunuch, are you doing this too quickly?" In fact, these soldiers have practiced hard enough, after all, it is too much. ”

"You are a little underestimating the potential of the Qingzhou soldiers, I found that they still lack a lot of ruthlessness in their daily drills, so they have this reprimand today. After all, soon, I'm going to let them try their edge and fight a few battles with the bandits and robbers in the neighborhood. If they can't fully stimulate their murderous aura before this, they will really go to the battlefield and suffer a lot of casualties. Sun Tu said with a solemn face.

"Huh? San Lang, do you really plan to let this team fight the thieves in the mountains after only training for more than a month? This time, even Lin Chong felt a little incredible.

Sun Tu Zhengse nodded: "Not bad." Earlier, I had asked Shi Qian to take some of his brothers from the scout camp to a few nearby cottages to investigate the specific situation, just waiting for them to return, and when the opportunity is right, I will send troops. ”

During this time, Sun Tu had already selected more than twenty elites from the Qingzhou Xiang Army to join the scout camp. He was in charge of the training of this team alone, and after teaching them some of the special warfare methods of later generations, he sent the team out of the city

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Solving the various situations of several cottages within a hundred miles can also be regarded as a kind of assessment and test for them.

"This ...... Isn't it too rushed? Even Yang Zhi asked with some concern, you must know that a month or two ago, although most of these people were nominally vanguards, they were actually no different from ordinary people.

"Time is running out, I must make some contributions to the court and give an explanation." Sun Tu shook his head and sighed. He knows his own affairs, and since he came to Qingzhou, in order to protect himself or to achieve his grand goals, he has completely destroyed the rules of the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty.

Such things can be covered up in a short period of time with their strong iron fist, but it is difficult to say after a while. Once the imperial court really knew what it had done in Qingzhou, it would be difficult to guarantee that Liang Shicheng and others would not take the opportunity to make trouble. And what he has to do now is to use his military exploits to gag the mouths of these people, so that the emperor and the people of the world believe that his series of decisions are all for the stability of Qingzhou.

Of course, it would be better if the Qingzhou Army could really have strong combat power, even so strong that the imperial court would be worried. In fact, he had already heard that in the military states bordering Western Xia in the west, those military generals had already overshadowed the civilian officials, and they were even more self-contained, and there was a general. The civil officials appointed by the imperial court had lost their right to speak at all, and could only obediently obey the orders of the military generals.

This was completely unimaginable in the past, but because it was related to the stability of the Great Song Dynasty, and the generals there also held a large army, although it did not become a feudal town after the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was enough to make the imperial court jealous and throw a mouse into a taboo, and could only turn a blind eye to it.

Now, what he Sun Tu has to do in Qingzhou is actually the same, as long as he has enough strength, as long as the imperial court has a little concern, and Tong Guan helps him speak, he is not afraid of being framed. Since this step has been taken early in the morning, there is no possibility of turning back, only to move forward step by step, grasp greater strength, and finally let the court only pinch its nose and admit its existence.

Of course, he can't declare this kind of thought at this time, and the only thing he can say is to protect himself.

Neither Luda nor Yang Zhi thought deeply, although Lin Chong faintly noticed something, he was introverted, and he would not break it at this time. Only Huang Wenbing seemed to have seen through something, and when he looked at Sun Tu again, his eyes flickered and there were some other meanings.

However, such a major event is still too far away for Sun Tu, who is just starting out now, and he is still mainly training soldiers. In addition, there is another big thing that he needs to face-

Early this morning, a former Jiangzhou soldier who had been sent to inspect outside brought back the news that a grain collection team had come to Qingzhou, and that it was the Yamen who had sent military rations from the Jingdong East Road. What Sun Tu has to do next is to get this batch of grain directly into his hands, instead of letting Na Murong Yan surpass the previous one, so as to ensure that there are no more worries!

At the same time, it was precisely because of this news that Sun Tu felt that time was pressing, and he suddenly summoned the whole army in the rain just now.

Time is not waiting for me, only self-improvement!
