It's another morning, the back house of Sun's house.

After Sun Tu came out of Hu Rong's room, he went straight to Ya'er's bedroom not far away, without knocking on the door, hearing the familiar footsteps, Ya'er, who woke up early, had already asked the maid to open the door and let Lang Jun, who looked concerned, come in.

Ya'er didn't get up from the bed, although she didn't show her pregnancy yet, but since she knew that she was pregnant with her third brother, she was extra careful and lazy. Seeing Sun Tu coming in, she showed a sweet smile: "Third brother, you got up so early today." ”

"Yes, because I'm going to the camp today, I haven't been to the barracks for seven or eight days, and I'm always a little worried." Sun Tu explained casually. Since he got married, he has indeed stayed in the house to accompany a pair of wives, especially for Ya'er, he takes care of her, he doesn't dare to slack off, and the first thing he does when he gets up every day is to come to see her and talk to her.

However, as the chief general of the Qingzhou and even the entire Shandong Army, it is impossible for him to stay at home all the time, so after resting for a while, he finally chose to return to the barracks today to preside over the overall situation. In this regard, Ya'er naturally expressed her support and nodded slightly: "Well, the third brother is a person who wants to do big things, so naturally he can't always stay at home and stay with us." ”

"My Ya'er is the most virtuous and sensible, come, let me hear what our children have to say to me today." As he spoke, Sun Tu had already stepped forward, hugging Ya'er's slender waist while putting his ear to her lower abdomen, as if listening to the movement inside.

"The third brother is really, the child has just moved a little, how can he say anything......" Ya'er said with a smile. But having said that, the joy on her face became more and more prosperous, she just liked the feeling of being so intimate and spoiled by her own husband, and being held in her arms by him made her feel particularly secure.

Sun Tu smiled: "Ordinary children naturally don't have this ability, but our children are not ordinary, you listen, now he is talking to me, he said that he will be obedient in your belly, and he will never make his mother uncomfortable." Also, he said that when he got pregnant in October, he must honor his father and mother. ”

"Well, I'm sure our kids can do it." Ya'er felt even happier, and reached out again to surround Sun Tu with force.

The two husbands and wives kept warm by the bed for a while, and Sun Tu was ready to leave. But before leaving, he deliberately advised: "Ya'er, don't be too careful, you won't even go out of the door." Although you have a body that needs to be rested, proper exercise is still needed, otherwise it will affect your body. By the way, the weather is not too hot today, you can let Rong'er and the others accompany you for a walk in the back garden, and when I come back, I have to ask, if you don't do it, see how I punish you then! ”

Ya'er nodded obediently: "Ya'er remember, I'll talk to Sister Rong later, and you can go to the barracks with confidence." ”

Sun Tu went out at this time, and after he rode his horse out of the mansion, the gentle family man immediately turned back into the majestic military commander, and went straight to the military camp in the greetings of the people along the road.

Today's Qingzhou City has indeed changed drastically from the past under the careful management of Huang Wenbing and other officials, whether it is the shops and streets, or the merchants and people, all of them have been greatly improved. Even in such a hot summer season, the city is still full of traffic, people and horses are endless, and all kinds of dazzling goods from the state capitals of the world can be seen everywhere, making this city glow with a different kind of vitality.

When Fang Qian brought a few servants into the city gate, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Sun Qianli can really be regarded as a rare cadre with both civil and military skills, and the prosperity of Qingzhou under his rule is not under the rich Jiangnan Prefecture County before. Hey, if Tong Shuai and the imperial court can make good use of him from the beginning, maybe my Great Song Dynasty will be able to have a few more prosperous towns and a few more capable armies to come out. ”

With strange thoughts, he soon came to the well-guarded barracks, and it was not until he identified himself as an officer of the Privy Council that the soldiers went in to report it. It didn't take long for Sun Tu to greet him in person, and as soon as he saw Fang Qian, he stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "I don't know if Fang Chengzhi is coming, Sun has missed the distance, and please forgive me." ”

In the past few years, Fang Qianna has also been promoted step by step under the promotion of Tong Guan, and now he has been promoted to the position of Cheng Zhi with great power in the Privy Council, where he can grasp the news at the first time when he comes and goes to military newspapers and the promotion of generals from all over the world, and even in some cases he can intervene and influence military affairs.

Of course, this is just a statement on the surface, with his Fang Qian's qualifications, even if Tong Guan is behind his back, he can't really take the major affairs of the entire Privy Council completely in his own hands, and now most of the power has fallen into the hands of Gao Yu and others, and he, the second-in-command of the Privy Council, can only stand aside. And this time, he was specially sent to Qingzhou, which shows how much influence the current situation between the DPRK and China has on Tong Guanyi's party.

After entering the barracks with Sun Tu and taking a seat in the command hall, Fang Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Qianli, don't make fun of me." If others don't know the situation between the DPRK and China, won't you be able to see it? Since Tong Shuai left, my life and other people under Tong Shuai have become more and more sad, no, today they will find a reason to send me to Qingzhou to deliver a letter. ”

"Hehe, that's just some small people, don't be afraid. When Tong Shuai returns one day with great achievements in the north, they will naturally be honest. Sun Tu smiled casually, but he didn't mean to share the same hatred.

Originally, he had a bit of affection for Tong Guan, but when he impeached Cai Jing before, what the old boss did was too chilling - not only did he not come forward to speak for Sun Tu, but he also fled in the first place. That's it, afterwards, he even sent a letter to reprimand Sun Tu, bluntly saying that he was bold and reckless, which naturally made Sun Tu look down on him a little, and began to alienate him.

It was also at that time that Sun Tu suddenly realized that Tong Guanna was also one of the six thieves called by later generations, although it seems that he had indeed made a lot of contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, but in the final analysis, he was still just a selfish traitor, and he really didn't need to expect him too much, everything could only rely on himself.

Fang Qian also saw that Sun Tu was still dissatisfied, so he could only casually persuade a few words at this time, and then said something happy: "But this time, you can pacify the Liangshan bandits, or give me a good face." Don't you know, once this matter was reported to the imperial court, even the officials were very happy, and even said a few good words, and praised you as a rare cadre and good general in my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"The official family is really falsely praised, I am just doing my duty as a courtier." Sun Tu said casually and modestly, and then asked, "Cheng Zhi said that he came to deliver a letter, but how did he say it?" ”

"Since the official family is happy, it is natural that they will reward you and many meritorious soldiers under your command. The imperial court has made up its mind, this year, the salary of your Jingdong Road Xiangjun has doubled, and the rewards such as silk, silk, wine, and meat have already been shipped, and they will definitely be delivered to Qingzhou within these two months. As for the promotions and rewards of the soldiers under your command, they have also been approved in the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, and more than a dozen generals such as Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, and Qi Desheng, who have made meritorious contributions with you many times, have been promoted by the imperial court to the governors of various state capitals, and are still under your command. Some other generals also have their own rewards, and the official letters of these rewards will also be sent to Qingzhou together with the rewards.

"There is also a thousand miles of you, after a discussion between the official family and the officials of the DPRK and China, this time it is even more meritorious, specially awarded as General Xuanwei, the former deputy commander of the forbidden army palace, appointed as the commander of the Jingdong Road, and sent by the soldiers and horses of Jingdong Road, controlling the soldiers and horses from all over the road, wearing goldfish bags and bringing imperial equipment. This is really the emperor's grace. ”

Fang Qian said in one breath the promotion reward that Sun Tu received, there are really many titles, but generally speaking, whether it is listening to the tall General Xuanwei, or the former deputy commander of the Forbidden Army Palace, who seems to have great authority, in fact, it is just a false title, at most, he can get more in the future, as for the goldfish bag, with imperial equipment and the like, it is more of an honor, anyway, Sun Tu does not take it very seriously.

However, the dispatch of the ruler still made him happy in his heart, and this position in his body meant that he had really stepped into the middle and high-level stage of the Great Song Dynasty military attaché and entered the high position of the four-rank master.

If it was in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the four-rank military attache was naturally not a high-ranking official, but it was different in the Great Song Dynasty. Because at present, there is no one in the rank of military attachés in the DPRK and China, the highest is the second grade of the knot, then the third grade of the knot, and then the rule of this road.

Just as it is a pass for officials who never enter the stream and the eighth or ninth rank to enter the seventh grade, it is also an extremely difficult process to cross the fifth rank and enter the fourth grade, and it is difficult for the average general to go from the capital prison to the jurisdiction of the capital throughout his life, unless there is a major promotion by the important ministers of the court, or like Sun Tu, who has made great achievements for the country.

It can be said that Sun Tu has really been happy these days, not only marrying relatives and children in the family, but also being proud of the officialdom, and becoming a ruler all the way at the age of less than thirty, which is also an extremely rare existence in the century-old history of the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if the military power in his hands has not increased because of this, he has nominally more power to mobilize all the troops and horses in Shandong than before. After all, it is only a temporary dispatch to be imprisoned all the way, but this way is the most justifiable official position.

It's just that after Sun Tu was overjoyed, his heart moved again, he always felt that things were not so simple, and the other party should have something else to say......
