The two glanced at each other when they heard this, and then the seed master said: "We naturally know that the situation cannot be changed, but after all, we still want to save the lives of these soldiers who were born and died for the imperial court. And at the moment, in this Great Song Army, the only one who can really help us is Qianli. ”

"The two prime ministers, this is too high a view of me. Now that I have no soldiers and no power, how can I have any impact on the war? Sun Tu was still a little dazed, and asked casually.

The seed master calmed down, and then smiled: "It seems that you don't know how influential the name Sun Tu is in today's army, right?" I dare not say that the ascending to the top echoes the Jing Cong, but it is enough for many soldiers to obey your orders in wartime, even if you have no authority in hand. ”

"This ...... How could it be ......?"

"Don't underestimate the big things you've done over the years, even if I'm in the west, I've heard of it for a long time. You are an outlier in the army, and you are a hero in the eyes of all soldiers. Because you have done too many things that we want to do but dare not do, whether it is killing those corrupt officials or rectifying military discipline, and training a real elite division from a poor place like Shandong, the soldiers dare not even think of it. ”

"And this not only affects the officers and soldiers of our Western Army, but all the soldiers and horses in the world respect you, at least behind the scenes, everyone admires you Sun Qianli very much. You may not know how much your reputation can do now, but you only need to try it once to know that what we say is true. ”

The two old men said one by one, but Sun Tu fell into deep thought. He really never thought that his bold actions in the past would make him famous among the Great Song army, because he did all this at that time, more to protect himself or to gather the morale of his subordinates. But now it seems that this has a much greater impact than I hoped.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is some truth in the matter, at least for those ordinary soldiers, he does have a great influence. This can be seen from the fact that he was in charge of the Tiger Army in Tokyo. At that time, although he relied on soft and hard means to win over Wei Cheng and other generals, ordinary soldiers were not so easy to gather. But in the end, in just a few days, the originally scattered Tiger Ben Army was condensed.

At that time, he thought that the generals below were under pressure, so he played for a long time. But now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's still because of my appeal. In addition, the accident at Yanmen Pass a few days ago also confirmed this. 、

You must know that at that time, he beheaded Du Changguo in front of the soldiers and forced Tian Boyuan to death, and those two people have always been the main generals of these soldiers. But the result? No one objected, let alone stood up to avenge them.

At that time, I didn't go into detail, thinking that it was the encounter of the Tiger Ben Army that made these low-level soldiers think of the same hatred and hatred, and they were intimidated by the 20,000 people under Qin Kang's subordinates. But now it seems that it is due to his own reputation, because the soldiers trust his judgment and unconditionally support his approach, so they will watch the two men be killed one after another......

These things that he had ignored in the past slowly made Sun Tu understand with the two open and honest words, and also made some changes in his whole state. It turns out that I am already more powerful than I thought, no wonder even Tong Guan only dares to idle me, even if he sees that I seem to have different intentions, he can only win over me first, and use such clumsy means to deceive me!

After a while, Sun Tu's confidence, who wanted to understand everything, had increased greatly, and he looked at the two kinds: "So the two prime ministers want me to lead troops to support you then?" ”

"This is not only to support our Western Army, but also to achieve the final victory of this Northern Expedition. If it really follows Tong Guan's strategy, the old man can assert that our army will be defeated, and he will never think about taking Youzhou City again. The Seed Master Dao looked serious and authentic.

"How so?"

"Can't you see it at this moment, my Great Song army seems to be far above the Liao army, but when it comes to fighting a tough battle, except for the tens of thousands of horses in our western army, no one can take on such a heavy responsibility. If we are the first to be defeated in this battle, do you think that the Northern Army and the Forbidden Army, which have long been afraid of the enemy, will be able to reverse the defeat? They will only collapse quickly and be beaten back dozens of miles again. ”

"But if we combine the strength of our two armies to fight the Liao army with all our might, the situation will be different. Even if you may still fail, it will not be greatly damaged, so that you have a chance to turn defeat into victory. You should also know what the situation is in the Liao people's country at the moment, as long as they hold out for a while longer, they may collapse their military morale and make us win without a fight! ”

Sun Tu naturally thought deeply of this statement: "What the two prime ministers said is very true, and I should do my best to cooperate with the two of them in the next step." With these words, he was persuaded by the two of them to plan to cooperate with them.

The two were immediately overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Okay, with your Sun Qianli's words here, I will be relieved." You are indeed the only one who can change the tide of the battle now. ”

Sun Tu smiled bitterly, to be honest, he actually didn't have much confidence in his heart. Maybe he does have a lot of prestige in the army, but when it comes to wartime, can he lead the army to attack under Tong Guan's nose, it is a move that runs counter to the overall layout of the other party. But since the two of them have talked about this, he Sun Tu has already made a promise, and he should go all out at that time.

And this is also the last effort Sun Tu made after going north this time. Because he actually knows very well that once there is another fiasco this time, the trend of history will not change, and at that time, the Northern Song Dynasty will be destroyed, and the Central Plains will sink in the immediate future. Therefore, at that time, I really don't have to worry too much, and success or failure, life and death, will be done here.

The second didn't know that he still had such thoughts, but he felt comfortable, so he pulled him back to the front tent, replaced the wine with water again, and toasted Sun Tu several bowls, and then sent him away quite politely.

It wasn't until Sun Tu left that Chongjing, who had been wandering on the side, went to see his two grandfathers with a heart full of incomprehension and resentment, and bluntly asked them why they were so polite to such a little person, even to the point of groveling.

Hearing this, the two elders first smiled bitterly, and then glared at each other: "So although you have some ability, you haven't really grown up after all, and you can't even see through the overall situation." Sun Tu has a great name in the army, and he is a person who can save countless soldiers of the Western Army, not to mention just letting us treat each other politely, even if we pay a big price, we have to be friendly with him. "Does he really have that ability?" The seed scripture is still unbelievable.

"You'll find out soon. I see that Sun Qianli is definitely not a thing in the pool, and I am afraid that it is far from the time that he can help my Western Army. Seed Master Dao narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

"Yes, as long as he can really lead the army to save our western army this time, then all the soldiers and horses in the world will return to their hearts. At that time...... "Some of the teachers will not say much: "Anyway, when our western army can see with its horse, we can rest easy." ”

After saying this, the two elders looked at each other again and smiled, but they showed an unprecedented relaxed appearance.

To be honest, over the years, especially when the two found themselves gradually eroded by the years and grew old, and were about to become useless, they have been haunting an extremely serious question in their hearts, and when they wait for a hundred years, where will the Western Army go?

The two old generals are still ordinary people after all, and they also have some thoughts as ordinary people, and they really don't want the Western Army created by their ancestors to dissipate with their deaths. However, now in this western army, they really can't find a qualified successor, whether it is their sons, or subordinates like Di Heming, plus the grandchildren in front of them, it is impossible for them to take on such a big responsibility. Especially in the current season of change, internal and external troubles, this seemingly powerful Western army has come to a critical juncture of life and death.

The external enemy is not terrible, and the intrigue and calculation within the court are the big trouble that they can't rest assured. After all, after decades of building, the Western Army is indeed becoming more and more like a family soldier, which is obviously not what the imperial court wants to see.

The two of them may not have been afraid of the imperial court when they were there, but what about after they died? Originally, they were already a little desperate, and they planned to resign themselves to fate to see if their grandson Chongjing and Di Heming and others could join forces to defend the family business of the Western Army. But now, the appearance of Sun Tu has made them let go of the big stone in their hearts.

It can be said that today's meeting is not only a call for help, but also a support for orphans. As long as Sun Tu can save the Western Army this time, then in the future, the last elite of the Great Song Dynasty will be led by Sun Tu, and he will also become the commander of the new generation of the Western Army!

After understanding the intentions of the two grandfathers, the seed scripture became more and more unacceptable. However, the second elder has accumulated power for many years, but he does not dare to question it head-on, and in the end he can only bury these thoughts in his heart, thinking that one day he will show his skills, so that the two grandfathers know that they are no worse than that Sun Tu, and they are more suitable successors!

In the end, he stood in front of the Chinese military tent and looked at the Chinese army village at the other end from a distance, as if he wanted to see Sun Tu: "Sun Tu, Sun Qianli......"

Sun Tu, who was already going back, didn't know that he was so valued, and he didn't know that unconsciously, he already had such a strong elite in his hands. What he is thinking about now is this imminent war, and he really doesn't know what the final direction of this war related to the survival of the two countries will be with his own participation.

The answer to this question will soon be revealed.

A few days later, on March 17, with the sudden sound of drums and trumpets, a long-brewing decisive battle between the Liao and Song dynasties finally began......
