When the first rays of dawn emerged from the sky, the sound of the horn in the Tiger Ben military camp sounded simultaneously. Only this time, the soldiers of the forbidden army of the other armies around them no longer had the curiosity or impatience they had before, and they still took care of themselves and slept in the barracks, they were used to the early drills of the Tiger Ben Army.

Nowadays, it is not wrong to describe the Tiger Ben Army with a rebirth, this team that used to be notorious in the forbidden army, and even a battalion of only a few hundred people at this time actually stood on the barracks and school field with the whole army after the horn sounded three times, and there were more than 3,000 people, and they were all full of energy, standing straight, and the queue formed a straight line from beginning to end, and it had nothing to do with the word lazy.

With the sound of the horn, the whole army was in place, but there was no noise on the school field, it was simply audible when the needle fell, and only when the north wind blew through the flags, there was a burst of hunting sound. Tang Feng stood in front of the team with a solemn face, and after his eyes swept over the face of this army, he nodded slightly, and then many officers stepped forward one by one to report the number of soldiers in their team: "The Xuanzi team of the Jiazi battalion should be fifty people, but it is actually fifty people!" ”

"The yellow team of the A-word battalion should be fifty people, but it is actually fifty people!"

"The A-word battalion Yuzi team, there should be forty-eight people, but it is forty-eight!" ……

There are 3,421 men and horses in the entire 5th battalion and 80 teams in the entire barracks, and not a single one of them is absent today. It wasn't until these officers had finished reporting all this that Tang Feng turned around and reported to Sun Tu on the side of Su Li: "General, my Tiger Ben army is full in number, waiting for dispatch!" ”

Although Sun Tu didn't have to sleep until after the third watch last night, and got up again near the fifth watch, he didn't see any fatigue at this time, and after sweeping this completely different forbidden army team energetically, he nodded and said: "Okay, pass my order, and immediately pull out the camp and leave the city." Recently, there has been a group of bandits outside of Tokyo who have been plundering everywhere, and they don't take the court seriously, and today our Tiger Army is going to eliminate harm for the people and the court, so that those officials in the court and other colleagues can see the strength of our Tiger Army! ”

During this period of time, in fact, Sun Tu hardly came to the barracks because he was busy investigating the two cases of Liao spies and Zhou Xiong's murder. However, his prestige in the army is increasing day by day, especially after the imperial court has really issued two years of arrears and deductions of military rations and salaries, the soldiers are even more convinced and grateful to him. This also made Tang Feng particularly handy when training the army, as long as an order was given, no one dared to discount it.

In such an atmosphere, the whole army has really become one-minded, and the Tiger Ben Army has been greatly improved in terms of discipline and combat effectiveness, and it really has the appearance of an elite soldier. Of course, strict drills and military discipline alone are not enough to make this forbidden army become a hundred battles like the Shandong army, after all, the army still needs to be improved through real combat in order to understand its own strength.

After hearing Sun Tu's order, the whole army was even more excited, but no one made any comments, only a moment later, they shouted a neat "whoo", and the sound went straight to the sky, scaring the soldiers of the various battalions who still wanted to sleep around them turned over again, and many people couldn't help but go out, wanting to see what the tiger army was going to do today. In the past, I just practiced when I got up early in the morning, but today it's too much.

As soon as another horn sounded, the army had already set out in a neat queue, and in front of many other soldiers of the forbidden army who were curious to look at it, they went along the wide street, and soon left the company camp and ran into the distance.

"Where are the Tiger Benjun going? Are you really going to go on a campaign? But I haven't heard of any wars anywhere. ”

"I've heard that in the past two months, a grass bandit has suddenly appeared in our Gyeonggi area, and they may be going to kill it."

"Is there such a thing?" As soon as everyone heard this, they became more and more interested, and they all participated in this topic, and guessed whether the Tiger Ben Army could succeed in exterminating the thieves. These forbidden soldiers never thought that they were also officials and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and if there were thieves in the local area, they were also responsible for suppressing the thieves, and it was impossible to feel ashamed because of this.

And this news spread to all parts of the capital half a day later, and fell into the ears of many well-intentioned people. Regarding this movement of the Tiger Army, Gao Yu just smiled disapprerovingly: "This Sun Tu is really a master of seeing the seams, seeing that there is nothing to do with him in the city, he actually went outside to fight some thieves, it's just nonsense!" When he came back with his troops, the official was determined to severely punish him, and he took the troops out of Beijing without asking for instructions from the front of the palace! ”

Some people were relieved after learning the news, and at a certain foothold, a group of people were still panicking, but now they were greatly relieved: "It's a good thing for us that Sun Tu led the troops to leave." During these days, the boss has been worried that our whereabouts will be discovered, so he has been strictly ordering us not to do anything. Now it's okay, the team has left the Beijing Division, at least ten days and a half months, and that's to give us a chance. ”

"Yes, these days I have been hiding and not doing anything, and the brothers' craftsmanship is going to be rusty. And if we don't get some good goods to sell, I'm afraid that many of our brothers will have to drink the northwest wind. Let's step on the dots and get done! ”

As they spoke, they rubbed their hands excitedly, and after a few moments they had dispersed, not knowing what to do.

As for the people in the capital, I don't know if it's a mistake in their hearts, anyway, since the news of the Tiger Ben Army leaving Beijing to suppress thieves spread, they feel that the atmosphere in Tokyo has become a little strange, and some small people who have not shown up before have appeared one after another, and the theft and provocation on the street have suddenly increased several times more than in the previous days.

Of course, it is impossible for those high-ranking officials to pay attention to all this, and they are only thinking about what kind of crime to blame on Sun Tu, who transferred troops from Beijing without authorization. The forbidden army is different from ordinary soldiers and horses, how can it be moved at will, even if the tiger army is only a marginal team in the forbidden army.

When everyone in the capital reacted, the Tiger Ben army had already left the city for twenty or thirty miles, and then when it was approaching dusk, they temporarily stationed themselves on the edge of a hill.

Night soon fell, and the entire barracks fell silent. The rules in the army had long been established, and after dark, no one walked around at will except for the soldiers who patrolled the night, and everyone was already sleepy after a day's journey, so they naturally stayed in the tent and slept after eating early.

But in the Chinese military tent, there are many people who have not rested at this time, Sun Tu, Tang Feng, Di Yingyang and others have all gathered together, and their faces are a little dignified.

"General, do you really plan to sneak back to Jingshi like this? But can this really make those Sanssouci holes pop out of the shadows? Tang Feng asked with some disbelief.

"If my assumptions were correct, they were on my guard all along. In that case, I'm going to give them this chance, and they won't think I'm going to kill them. Sun Tu said calmly.

"But, without our help, can you really deal with those lawless guys, General?"

"After all, I'm not alone, there is a group of people from Kaifeng Mansion gathered by Lao Cui, there are many of them in my old department, and others may not be successful, but to find out the news and find the location of these guys, they are all good hands. Before, they couldn't be found because the ditch rats were all hidden, but now, as long as they move, there is no reason to hide them anymore. ”

After a pause, Sun Tu glanced at Di Yingyang again: "What's more, there is Brother Jiu to help me, he has a wide enough range of people in Beijing, as long as the arrangements are made properly, I can catch all these guys." ”

Di Yingyang also grinned when he heard this: "You can rest assured, this time it's not just me, Cao Yan, Pan Song, Yang Siming and other brothers are staying in Beijing to make various arrangements." Although we don't have much power, we also have a group of brothers who can be trusted, plus the manpower of our respective families, as long as we use it well, we are not afraid that we will not be able to deal with those small people! ”

Seeing that he was determined, Tang Feng finally accepted this. It was Sun Tu who glanced at him: "This is the first time you have led the troops to fight alone, and you are all armed with forbidden troops who have never seen blood, are you sure to deal with that bandit?" Although they are not numerous, they have some means after all. ”

"General, don't worry, although I, Tang Feng, don't have much ability, but I've been following you for many years, I can't deal with bandits like Liangshan Fangla, but a bandit of five or six hundred people, I can still suppress it with my army." Tang Feng hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "You can go back with confidence, everything is with me." ”

"Okay, you should also do something and make some contributions, so that you can rise to the top of your official position." Sun Tu smiled, and then stood up: "It's not too early, I'll take someone back to Tokyo!" ”

After a while, a gap suddenly opened silently in the originally closed door of the military camp, and then, Sun Tu and Di Yingyang led more than a dozen people to lead the horses out quietly. In addition to killing a few people, the entire military camp did not know that its main general had left overnight. And by the time they really knew this, it was already dawn the next day, and at that time, Tang Feng would strictly prohibit anyone from leaving the army, and no one would know that Sun Tu had killed a horse gun and went to Tokyo.

Tonight, Sun Tu will be sleepless again.

No one would have thought that he would play such a dangerous hand at this time, just to attract those ditch rats who have been hiding in the shadows and don't know what kind of conspiracy they are engaged in, and then eradicate them together!
