In the next seven or eight days, the original deserted Xiangjun barracks have completely changed, and the number of former officers and soldiers who want to return to the Xiangjun sequence has reached more than 1,000 people.

Of course, this is because Sun Tu's previous series of behaviors gave everyone confidence, but more importantly, the content of the notice posted in front of the gate has been spread to everyone in the city and outside the city. Sun Dujian had already made a guarantee that as long as he returned to the Xiang army at this time, he would not only be able to obtain a considerable amount of military salary, but also even ask the government for the arrears accumulated in the past few years, which was too tempting for ordinary people.

You must know that Qingzhou is not prosperous now, except for a very small number of big businessmen or people in the government who rely on various means to grab a lot of benefits, ordinary people live a tight life, at most, so that their families do not starve to death.

Among them, the situation of those soldiers who were forced to leave the barracks to be self-reliant was even worse, they had no property of their own, and their skills were not as good as others, the only thing they had was a handful of strength, plus there were still a lot of people, so in the past few years, they could only rely on part-time work to make a stutter, and many people were cornered.

Now, Sun Tu suddenly released the list to solve everyone's survival problems, even if this matter still looks a little unrealistic now, many people still ran back to the barracks with the mentality of giving it a try.

As for the statement mentioned in the list about what justice can be obtained for the sergeants, everyone selectively put it aside at this time. They were all bullied by those rich families or people in the government, and under the protection of officials and officials, how could Sun Dujian uphold justice for himself and others? As long as he can really fulfill his previous promise, so that everyone can eat enough in the barracks and no longer have to worry about their livelihood, these people are satisfied enough.

So these days, the people in the barracks are very busy, and every day they have to meet many soldiers who have returned from the box, and they have to carefully check and distinguish their true identities, in case anyone sees this opportunity to impersonate their identities. Fortunately, Qi Desheng and a few of them who are quite familiar with military affairs help check it, otherwise it would be really difficult to identify.

One by one, the re-registered books were sent to Sun Tu, seeing that the people who could enter his command became more and more numerous, Sun Tu's face was also a lot more happy, only Huang Wenbing was still frowning. It wasn't until the people below handed over their things and retreated that he said with some concern: "Eunuch, although I see that the soldiers and horses of the Xiang army are gradually increasing now, but after all, they only exist on the books, if you can't come up with money to satisfy them, I'm afraid they will come and go faster." ”

"I knew that, so it was time to take the next step." Sun Tu smiled, looking unimpressed.

Huang Wenbing's expression became more and more solemn: "Eunuch, do you really plan to ask for food and money from the government office?" Are Murong Yanchao really willing to obediently spit out the money and food in their hands again? ”

"It's not up to them. Over the years, they've eaten empty quotas and drunk enough of soldiers' blood, and it's time for them to pay it back. Although Sun Tu was still smiling, there was a flash of sharpness in his eyes, this was a strategy he had already set, and naturally it would not change.

"But...... I'm only worried that if you use force, things will get more and more out of control,

At that time, it will be difficult to explain the alarm to the imperial court. Huang Wenbing was really afraid that Sun Tu would be blamed by the imperial court, and finally ended in a tragedy.

But Sun Tu sneered: "Then don't let the people in the court know about it." When the rice has been cooked, the wood has been cooked, and some things they can only endure. Didn't Murong Yanchao do this before, I was just Xiao Gui Cao. ”

As soon as these words came out, Rao is Huang Wenbing had already regarded himself as Sun Tu's confidant, and he also knew that he was extremely ambitious, but he was also so frightened that his face turned pale, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know where to start. Can this be the same? The Great Song Dynasty has always been kind to civil officials, and even if they make a big mistake, they will not really take their lives, because Emperor Taizu has the ancestral motto of not killing scholars and doctors in this dynasty.

However, the attitude towards military attachés is diametrically opposite, and they are often to blame at every turn, and once they really cross a certain bottom line, the end is bound to be miserable. Even a military general like Di Qing, who has made great contributions to the country, ended up depressed? He Sun Tu really has the courage to touch the red line of the imperial court, is he really not afraid of endless troubles? Or is his ambition so big that he can completely ignore the imperial court, and even want to be in Qingzhou......

Thinking of this, Huang Wenbing glanced at Sun Tu with some apprehension, but found that he had already looked through the books again, and there were words in his mouth: "According to the rules of the army, now more than 1,000 people should get 5,000 yuan of money every month, plus more than 500 stone of grain." It's time to meet Murong Yanchao and settle the account with him. ”

￥￥￥￥￥

When Sun Tu brought people to the mansion again, the people at the gate of the yamen did not dare to stop them in the slightest, and even looked frightened with low eyebrows, obviously they were afraid of the conflict in the barracks before. This made him easily walk through the courtyard and come to the public house where Murong Yanchao was, the latter had also received the reward at this time, and looked at him vigilantly: "Sun Tu, what are you doing here?" ”

"Murong Governor, don't panic, the lower officials are just here to settle a few accounts with you." Sun Tu replied while already sitting down in the room very casually.

"What can I do with you? This official is busy with official business now, and he has no time to idle with you. Murong Yanchao still replied stiffly, but his heart became more and more uneasy.

Sun Tu sneered: "The Murong Prefect is really busy, and he has even forgotten about such things. As far as this officer knows, the prefect's yamen has been responsible for the supply of money and food for our army over the years, and his subordinates say that they have not seen the military rations and salaries for the soldiers for two years. Since the yamen didn't mention it, the official had to go on a trip in person. ”

"What do you mean by that? Do you want to use this to blackmail your own officials? This official can tell you the reason now, because I have been in arrears in Qingzhou in the past few years, and the government can't collect too many taxes, so I will be in arrears on the matter of military rations, but this is also out of helplessness, I hope you can understand. Moreover, my Qingzhou is located in the Central Plains, not at the border pass, and it is useless to raise so many military horses, so the meaning of this official is that it is enough to leave only one or two hundred people to defend the city, and the rest will be dispersed with them. Murong Yanchao said casually: "Of course, if you are dissatisfied with this, you can go to the imperial court, or ask the envoy for help to see what kind of attitude they will have." ”

He really didn't believe that Sun Tu would ask the imperial court about related matters, and he was now big

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

The efficiency of the Song Dynasty and the arrangement of Liang Taifu will only sink into the sea. This kind of evasion has always been the only method used by their civilian officials to deal with military attachés. Of course, at this time, Murong Yanchao's heart was still full of resentment, if it was in the past, why would he use such indiscriminate tricks to deal with it, no one dared to ask about food and salary.

Sun Tu narrowed his eyes, looked Murong Yanchao up and down, looked at the other party for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?" He sighed and said, "I just didn't expect Murong Yanchao to be able to talk nonsense with such open eyes, and I can't believe that you are my Qingzhou prefect." ”

Without waiting for the other party to get angry, he snorted again: "Even if I have only been in Qingzhou for half a month, I have already heard the reality of bandits in this mansion. Why is that? It is because the government brutalizes the people and is powerless to pacify the people. And you're good, you can still tell all the peaceful nonsense in my Qingzhou, is it true that everyone in the world is deaf and blind? ”

"You ......"

"Since this official has taken over the military affairs of Qingzhou, he has the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people, and the key is to allow the officers and soldiers to train again, and the most important thing is to ensure that the food and salary are in place. Since this matter has always been the responsibility of the government government, this official should hold you accountable this time! ”

"Hmph, this official has already made it very clear, now the government has no extra food to supply you, let alone any money......" This is his last reliance, and it is impossible for Murong Yan to fulfill Sun Tu's wish.

"It's not up to you to decide whether you have money or food. Just now, the official has sent someone to check in the treasury of the government. Also, I heard that the Murong Prefect also has several industries in Qingzhou City, and even two grain and rice shops, presumably there should be a lot of grain and silver there, if there is really not much money and grain in the warehouse, then I can only ask you to focus on the overall situation and donate generously. Sun Tu said, sneering at Murong Yanchao, who had already changed color.

"You...... Dare to set up troops to rob the granary of the official mansion, this official will be on the imperial court......" Murong Yanchao was really angry and anxious, got up with a huff, and shouted loudly. This is his final bottom line, and it must not be taken away by Sun Tu again.

But Sun Tu didn't see a trace of fear, just shook his head and said: "This official is just taking back what belongs to my army, and it is not a fault at all." Oh yes, it seems that a note here was sent by the prefect of Murong, but your messenger suddenly suffered after leaving the city, and it happened to be discovered by the official's people, and the person couldn't bring it back, so he only brought back this note. Sun Tu said, took out something from his sleeve and put it in front of the other party.

Murong Yanchao's face turned pale as soon as he saw the familiar recital, and his hand pointing at Sun Tu trembled again and again: "You...... How dare you ......" This time he was really scared, the other party actually intercepted the recital that he sent someone to Jingshi a few days ago, does that mean that Sun Tu has no worries at all? If you force yourself to be the enemy again, will it ...... He didn't dare to think about the rest of the matter.

Sun Tu stood up with grace: "Murong Governor, now my people are still just guarding in front of the granary of the mansion, and they will act only when I give an order." If you refuse to hand it over, it's hard to say what the consequences will be. I didn't know what I was expecting! After leaving this threatening sentence, Sun Tu turned around and left without waiting for Murong Yanchao to respond.
