The spring night is bitter and short, and the red sun rises early.

When Sun Tu woke up from the dream, he only felt incense on his nose and dust on his chest. When he looked down slightly, he found that it was Ya'er curled up in his arms, her entire head with loose hair pillowed on her chest, her eyes closed and her snort steady, but there were still two clearly visible tears on her face.

This made Sun Tu's heart flutter again, remembering the Changran when he flew with her last night, and the shyness and pain of the girl when she first received the rain and dew, and he still remembers the whispered whispering clearly. Sun Tu, who was hot-hearted, couldn't help but hug Ya'er tightly into her arms at this time, and this action quickly made her wake up from her dream, first stunned, then blushing, and said in a glutinous voice: "Third brother, ......" There is both sweetness and shyness in this voice.

"Are you awake? Are you okay? Sun Tu asked with concern, but it made Ya'er even more ashamed, and only after a while did she hum softly, but she didn't know what it meant. Then she glanced out the window again, and then she exclaimed softly: "Ah, it's all three poles a day......" In the past few years, except for illness, she has never slept so late, so she struggled to get up.

Unexpectedly, he was quickly held down by Sun Tu: "Ya'er, don't worry." Yesterday we worked hard all day, and today we don't need to meet any important people, just rest a little longer. ”

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but when it fell into Ya'er's ears, it made her hear some other meanings, and it reminded her of the absurdity of last night, and her face was suddenly covered with a red cloth. But there was a burst of sweetness in my heart, this is the third brother's concern for himself after all.

In this way, the two stopped talking about the bed, and just snuggled up on the bed, gossiping with each other. Although there are no sweet words, there is not a lot of affection in them, and the laughter is also intoxicating.

In order to make Ya'er happy, Sun Tu told a joke that he heard about in later generations: "Ya'er, have you heard that there are four joys in life?" ”

Ya'er shook her head a little dazedly, not knowing if she hadn't heard of it, or if there was no such thing at this time. Seeing this, Sun Tu patiently explained: "The so-called four happy events are the long-term drought and the rain, the old acquaintance in another country, the candle night in the cave room, and the time for the title of the gold list." Thinking about it, you and I spent candles in the cave room last night, which can be regarded as a great joy in life. ”

Ya'er thought about it carefully and agreed: "These are indeed the four great joys, especially the last two ......"

"Then do you know that there are still four great sorrows?"

"Huh? So what? ”

Seeing that Ya'er was interested, Sun Tu smiled: "In fact, everything in this world is the same, and sometimes happy events will become sad events." ”

Ya'er became more and more confused now, blinked her eyes and asked, "Is there still such a statement?" ”

"Listen to me. The so-called four sorrows are the long-term drought and the rain--flooding, the old acquaintance in another country - the creditor, and the title of the gold list - the same name......" said, he sold another pass, and glanced at the person in his arms a little narrowly.

Ya'er thought about it again, and then realized that he had only said three things, so she asked, "What about the last tragedy?" ”

"Well, it's the night of candles in the cave room—next door. You think, don't

Isn't it a great tragedy that people have nothing to do with you and have nothing to do with you, but you can hear the voice? ”

Ya'er was a little stunned at first, but soon understood the meaning, and was immediately embarrassed, and punched Sun Tu a few times: "Third brother, you are so bad, you actually said such frivolous words...... but it caused Sun Tu to laugh heartily. Sometimes teasing a simple little wife is an easy thing for Sun Tu.

In the next few days, Sun Tu was not in a hurry to return to the barracks to handle official business. After all, he and Ya'er's newlywed Yan'er always have to get together more, and now there are Qi Desheng and others in the army to help him watch, and he has just won several battles, what he should do at this time is to recuperate, and the exercises on weekdays, but he doesn't need to show up all the time.

It lasted for more than ten days, and in mid-March, the imperial court finally sent an official from the Ministry of War to send Sun Tuxin's official letter. From this moment on, he really became the former Marquis of Wupin Palace, and was actually awarded the position of the supervisor of the soldiers and horses of Jingdong Road, and at the same time, he also added one - to bring imperial equipment and silverfish bags.

The former Duyu Marquis was only Sun Tu's own official, in fact, it had nothing to do with his authority, and he was only responsible for receiving money and food from him, and the latter was the key to his ability to call Bainuo in Shandong. From today on, he Sun Tu has finally become one of the few local officials in the Great Song Dynasty who holds tens of thousands of soldiers.

As for the last two, it is the grace of the Son of Heaven, which is a manifestation of identity. Nowadays, many important ministers in the court wear gold and silver fish bags that symbolize status, and sometimes it is more useful to show this fish bag than an official letter or a waist card, especially those foreign ministers, only a very few people who are deeply valued by the Son of Heaven can get a fish bag, even if it is just a small fish bag embroidered with silver thread.

And with the imperial instrument is a treasure knife given by the Son of Heaven, in the future, Sun Tu can be worn when entering the court to see the driver, which is really a great honor. If you have to make a comparison, it is actually equivalent to the so-called guards with swords in front of the emperor in later generations, and they can wear weapons in front of the emperor.

Of course, for Sun Tu at this time, it was naturally more important to send the soldiers and horses of Jingdong Road, because with this official position in hand, he could justifiably meddle in the affairs of the Xiang army in the capital of Shandong according to his own intentions, and the idea of training the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here into a combatable army.

Although he was bound to be resisted and hindered by officials from all sides during this period, he believed that with his current prestige in the army, he would be able to achieve final success.

It was also with Sun Tu's official acquisition of this assignment that officials from various state capitals in the country sent people to congratulate him on his wedding. In fact, it's been more than half a month since his wedding.

But in any case, as soon as everyone's attitude came out, Sun Tu became more and more confident in his heart, which also made him feel very good, and he felt that it was soon time for him to show his strength.

It can be said that since the fight against the Three Mountain Bandits last year, Sun Tu has done everything smoothly, both in public and private, and has made great progress, and now he can gradually gather the military power of Shandong into his own hands. The only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was the disobedience of some officials and the exhortation from Huang Wenbing.

Right

He wanted to emulate Qingzhou's practice of self-sufficiency in military salaries and rations in Shandong's prefectures as soon as possible, but Huang Wenbing strongly opposed it. Even today, he still looked at Sun Tu with a serious expression, and said sincerely: "Eunuch, this matter must not be rushed." Your idea is certainly good, and it is true that all the soldiers and horses in Shandong can quickly become stronger, but this is a tiger's mouth, and it will inevitably be opposed by all local officials. I Qingzhou was able to succeed because you used thunderous means to get rid of Murong Yanchao in one fell swoop, but the officials of other state capitals did not make mistakes. Moreover, if you really annoy them and make them impeach, you will inevitably be in a dangerous situation. After all, I have never had a non-border military attache like a metropolitan eunuch before the Great Song Dynasty who can take charge of the military power all the way, I'm afraid the imperial court will be suspicious......"

What he said was sincere, but Sun Tu frowned when he heard it, and his face was angry: "Your words are very alarmist." The reason why the imperial court is willing to entrust me with such a heavy responsibility is not because I have repeatedly made meritorious contributions to the imperial court, but the Son of Heaven knows that I have the ability to cast another elite army for the Great Song Dynasty. If I had done nothing and done nothing after I became an official, I would have been impeached. ”

"Eunuch, there are some things that I can't rush to. You have been sharp in the past few years, and you have already become a thorn in the side of many people in the DPRK, and they just can't find an excuse at this time, so it is not against you. But once they really find an excuse, such as this time they have to seize control of the army from the local government, they will inevitably give people a handle and let people say that you have other intentions. I, the Great Song Dynasty, have always suppressed military attachés, and it is impossible for you to change. I hope the eunuch will think twice. Huang Wenbing can be regarded as a bitter mouth, and he has made all the pros and cons clear.

However, the recent smooth sailing has made Sun Tu a little too arrogant and inflated, and he is still dismissive of this: "So what? When I first came to Qingzhou, there were only a few dozen people, and I still dared to compete with Murong Yanchao, the local prefect, and finally killed him all over the house, didn't anyone dare to say a word of nonsense? Those people in the DPRK and China will also take advantage of their tongues, as long as my generals are strong enough, they will have a chance to come out! ”

Seeing him say this, Huang Wenbing's heart became more anxious, but he didn't know how to persuade him. He was really afraid that Sun Tu would be caught by some people if he insisted on going his own way, and then embarked on the road of no return. After all, he, Huang Wenbing, has long been bound to Sun Tu now, and once something happens, there will be no eggs under the nest.

Just as the two of them stared at each other and the atmosphere was a little tense, a personal soldier suddenly appeared in front of the door with some cowering, and reported hesitantly: "Report to the Metropolitan Supervisor, there is a businessman from Tokyo who said that he is your old friend, and he has come to meet and congratulate him this time, I wonder if the Metropolitan Supervisor wants to see him?" ”

Sun Tuzheng had a headache about how to deal with Huang Wenbing, and when he saw this, he just found a step, so he nodded and said, "Then invite someone in." Then he glanced at Huang Wenbing, who understood in his heart, so he could only sigh secretly and retreat a little abruptly.

A moment later, the three of them, escorted by several soldiers, walked to the front of the courtyard. At first, Sun Tu thought that it was really a businessman who had dealt with him in Tokyo who happened to be here, so he didn't take it too seriously. But when he saw the gray-haired, black-faced bearded man at the head, he was still stunned, and then quickly got up and quickly greeted him: "Tong ...... Why did you suddenly come to my Qingzhou? ”
