The original Gao Yu military camp is now completely controlled by the Tiger Army, and those frightened soldiers of the forbidden army have already returned to their own accounts, even if it is difficult to sleep, they do not dare to step out of the tent without authorization. Inside and outside the camp, there were hundreds of Tiger Ben soldiers guarding them, and Cao Yan and Wei Cheng sat on the side to take care of them.

A year or two of hard training, as well as a few fights, have made them shrewd and strong, even if they haven't slept all night until now, they are still in good spirits and clear-headed.

But even so, they still felt a little confused about what happened that night. Seeing that there were no others around at this time, Cao Yan couldn't help but whisper: "I really didn't understand why Hou Ye chose to attack that Gao Yu last night, just because he was suddenly assassinated in the camp?" In fact, we had a chance to do it earlier. ”

Wei Cheng thought for a moment before guessing: "It must have something to do with time and where we are." Now that we are not far from the border, we are naturally not afraid of this matter leaking. And you and I can see clearly, if it weren't for those assassins, how could we find that cunning old ghost out of the barracks so easily? ”

Cao Yan also agreed with the latter point, nodded and said: "That's what I said, but I always feel that Master Hou is a little too impatient to make this arrangement. And now he actually talked so much to those assassins, could it be ......" He had a vague guess.

At this time, Fan Qi was also showing surprise: "The general actually wants to accept us into the camp?" Don't you care about our origins, we are wanted by the imperial court, and we have just assassinated Gao Yu......"

"The so-called important criminals are just framed by others, and they can't escape from Tokyo. As for the assassination of Gao Yu, in front of me, the person who got rid of this thief with my own hands, what are you doing with this little thing? I just ask you, are you willing to play another game for yourself and your descendants? ”

After a pause, Sun Tu had already gotten up and came to them, and said with a solemn expression: "I can't hide it, Ben Hou is going to the north to resist the Liao soldiers this time." You are in the Daimyo's Mansion, you should also know that now that the war in the north has broken out, the Song and Liao have reached the point of a national war, right? At this time, what our generation of warriors should do is to serve the country, or die on the battlefield and shroud the horse, or kill the enemy and retreat from the enemy, and become famous all over the world, so as not to waste what you and I have learned, this blood, what do you think? ”

These words were really loud, and the soldiers in the tent were already enthusiastic, and they all wanted to echo loudly. Even the other assassins were excited and wanted to nod, but Fan Qi frowned lightly and hesitated: "It's not that I can't trust General Sun, it's really my identity...... If we come to the army, who will dare to use us? ”

"Since I recruited you, I am naturally in charge." Sun Tu looked at them with sincerity on his face: "Ben Hou also thought that he could recruit you into the army because he saw that you were all elites in a hundred battles, and he couldn't bear such talents to be left out and achieve nothing." Of course, if you really have no confidence in the court, your blood is cold, and Benhou is not easy to force. You can leave now. ”

This attitude is really touching. Not long ago, a few of them were destined to die, but now they can stay at will, which shows Sun Tu's sincerity. Zhao Huangcen Bohu couldn't help but nod his head in agreement, but Fan Qi took the lead: "I already know General Sun's intentions, but we still have family outside, if you agree to this, I'm afraid they will be worried." ”

This is true, more than ten years have passed, these people have become hunters incognito in the territory of the Daimyo's Mansion, and naturally they have remarried and had children. If it weren't for the fact that Gao Yu did have a blood feud with them, they wouldn't have risked assassination. But going to the north to fight against Liao this time is another matter, so naturally you have to think about it.

As for Fan Qi's opening, several other people thought that he was the first to look at him, so it was naturally difficult to say anything. Seeing this, Sun Tu could only sigh lightly: "What you said is also right, and you are no longer in the army now, Ben Hou really can't force you to sacrifice your life to go to the north to participate in the war." I just hope you'll think about it, and whatever the decision is, I won't force it. Come on, send a few away. ”

At this point, everything that should be said has been said, and Sun Tu will not say more, just wave his hand, and plan to send off the guest. In fact, as Cao Yan and the others had guessed, Sun Tu chose to suddenly attack Gao Yu last night, in addition to confirming that this place was safe and finding his exact location, it was indeed because of these assassins.

Although he only glanced at it a few times at night, he was able to make an accurate judgment, these assassins were all good hands in the army, especially the steel fork and the two sword hall of the latter, that is, Fan Qi in front of him, he was a fierce general in the army.

And now, there are no such characters around Sun Tu, and the generals who were gathered before are still in Jiangnan, and when they arrive at the northern front, who knows which one will come first, so if they can recruit them, it will be a big help, and if there is a war, there will naturally be a few more chances of victory.

Moreover, Sun Tu could also see that in fact, these people had long lost much loyalty and trust to the Great Song Dynasty, which was exactly what he hoped for. Because only in this way, when they take action, will they stand firmly on their side like the subordinates brought out by Dong Ping.

However, some things still can't be forced after all, they are already discouraged, and they have a family drag, and it is indeed difficult to have the pride and courage of the day. In this case, then let them go, Sun Tu will not go back on his word and kill them because of this little thing.

But to his surprise, after hearing that he was willing to let himself go, Fan Qi hesitated. After a long time, he finally gritted his teeth: "General Sun is really magnanimous, no wonder he can have such a resounding reputation, and he admires it." If the general really doesn't give up, my brothers and I also have the heart to do our part for our Han people. However, my family is waiting outside, and I dare not wait for this time to go with you, if you believe me, you can give me a month or two, and then I will go to the north to meet you, how about it? ”

Even Zhao Huang and the others deeply agreed with this, and they all looked at Sun Tu, and the meaning was already obvious. And Sun Tu laughed even more satisfied: "What are you talking about, I just said, you are no longer in the army, it is not your duty to protect your family and defend the country, and I have no right to force you to sacrifice your life and take risks." I just want to say one thing, if you really have a heart, the camp gate of my army under Sun Tu has always been open for you. ”

Several people looked at each other a few times, and they were all convinced by Sun Tu, and immediately bowed to him again before getting up: "Then please ask General Sun to wait for me for two months, and then see you on the battlefield." ”

Sun Tu nodded with great joy, and then ordered someone to bring medicine to bandage them, and also took out some of the silver coins found from Gao Yu's camp and handed them over. Since these people were determined to follow Sun Tu, they did not make any excuses at this time, they accepted it quickly, and did not delay any longer, so they took advantage of the bright sky and quickly left this military camp.

It wasn't until they saw these people leave that Cao Yan and the others came to see Sun Tu with some puzzlement and asked about the reason. Sun Tu didn't hide it in front of these subordinates, and said all his considerations: "So this time we can kill two birds with one stone, and we have gained a lot." not only eliminated harm for the people, killed Gao Yu, but also took care of these good hands in the army, and when he arrived on the battlefield, he also had an extra guarantee. ”

"The general really thinks they will be of great use on the battlefield?" Cao Yan still has reservations.

"That's of course, not to mention that Fan Qi is all skilled in martial arts, which can be called a hundred enemies, it is the archery skills of the dozens of people we saw last night who pierced Yang in one hand and a hundred steps, and it is a sharp weapon to kill generals and capture the flag in the army."

"In that case, how could the general let them go so easily? Anyway, one person should be detained, thinking that protection is. Wei Cheng couldn't help but say what he thought.

Sun Tu smiled again: "Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people." Now that I'm going to use them, there's still a little bit of trust to have. What's more, I'm sure they're all keeping their promises, and they'll be coming to meet us in less than two months. I only hope that the fighting on the front line will not deteriorate before then. ”

After saying this, Sun Tu also felt a little tired, so he ordered the two of them to say a few words, and then went back to the camp to rest first.

Then the two battalions were completely mixed together, and they stayed here for only one day, and when they were early the next morning, the army marched again and headed straight for the north, towards the unpredictable, but absolutely dangerous, northern battlefield......

￥￥￥￥￥

Hundreds of miles away, Youzhou City.

Yelu Dashi stood in front of a huge map, and beside him, stood a middle-aged man with the same strange appearance and extraordinary bearing. The eyes of the two of them glanced at the map that marked the advance and retreat routes of the Song and Liao armies for a long time, and then they were enlightened: "Da Shi Linya is about to set off?" ”

"Yes, the war on the front line is tight, and I have to do my part. Although Tong Guan is quite familiar with military affairs, he is a little too arrogant after all, and he doesn't know where his weaknesses are. Now that I have everything arranged, I just wait for the opportunity to come, and the Song army will be in chaos! ”

"Hehe, I hope so. That Xiao Gan also wished you success in advance. ”

"Then everything in the rear will be entrusted to Brother Xiao."

"Hehe, it's just a small thing." Xiao Gan said, and sighed again: "The most worrying thing now is Shangjing and other places, that Jurchen thief is much more terrible than the Song people." You and I are both here in the south, and I am only afraid that those people in the court are useless, and Your Majesty is ...... I'm afraid that there will be something wrong with going to Beijing. ”

When this sentence was spoken, Yelu Dashi was completely silent. Don't look at the war situation in the south, it seems to be beneficial to Da Liao, but the situation in the north is already precarious, and there is the foundation of Da Liao......
