Chapter 569: Three Requirements

Historically, when the imperial court had doubts about a general who was leading the army outside, it would send eunuchs or civil officials to its side to contain and supervise the army. Because of this title of Qincha, he often has great power in the army, and sometimes he is more able to eat the commander-in-chief of the three armies, so that many strategies and tactics are based on it, so that the power of the commander is constantly deprived, and finally it is also a lot of things.

And these supervisors often don't know much about military affairs, so when they intervene or even have full command, it is the beginning of the defeat of the official army. Sun Tu really didn't expect that he would face such a problem, this Qin Cha not only came to urge Liang Shanbo to use troops, but also came to seize power in his own army, which made his eyes suddenly have a gloomy color.

And the generals kneeling behind him were even more gloomy, if it weren't for the fact that Qin Cha was still in front of him, these people would have shouted and reprimanded the court for their chaotic lives.

Seeing the generals who were quite arrogant before becoming like this, Zeng Kaiqian only felt a sense of relief, and there was a smug smile on his face, and only after a while did he say: "Sun Dujian, haven't you received the order yet?" ”

"The minister's grandson leads the order!" Now is far from the time to tear his face with the imperial court, even if Sun Tu is dissatisfied with this time, he can only endure his anger, and after answering in a low voice, he got up and took the holy decree from the other party's hand. After he quickly swept over the contents of the holy decree and confirmed that it was correct, Zeng Kaiqian smiled and said: "Sun Dujian, in the future, you and I will have to be colleagues here, we can be one and the same, watch and help each other, for Your Majesty, for my Great Song Dynasty to share worries." ”

Sun Tu came to his senses at this time, and said with a haha: "What Zeng Shilang said is that we should really work together with each other, if you have any requests in the future, just ask, as long as you can do it, Sun Tu will not refuse." ”

"Haha, that's good. In this way, there are really three things here that I hope Sun Dujian can do as soon as possible. Zeng Kaiqian was a master of taking advantage of the situation, and immediately said his thoughts: "The first thing is the important thing mentioned in the holy decree about attacking the Liangshan bandits as soon as possible. ”

"This ...... Your Majesty and the imperial court are far away in Bianjing, so they don't know the situation in Shandong, and these soldiers under the command of the lower officials have been fighting repeatedly in the past year, and they are already exhausted, so I didn't dare to send troops rashly, otherwise it would be a small matter to attack Liangshan, and it would be a big matter to lose the prestige of my court. "Fortunately, Sun Tu is also a master of seeing and dismantling moves, and he can deal with it quite easily.

"This is a little incomprehensible to the officer, the soldiers I saw when I entered the barracks just now are all full of energy and murderous spirits, how can they be a little tired?" Unexpectedly, he was waiting for Sun Tu here.

Sun Tu sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that he would use the topic to play just now, he shouldn't have given the other party a horse, but he still said: "The squire has only seen a thousand people, that is the last elite in the army today, and other soldiers and horses are far from reaching, this is also to give a good impression to the court." ”

Zeng Kaiqian snorted noncommittally: "Even if what Sun Dujian said is reasonable, this official still has to remind him that the patience of the imperial court is limited, and if we can't pacify the Liangshan thieves within half a year, none of us can afford this responsibility." ”

As he spoke, he said: "This second thing is also Your Majesty's will, before this official came, His Majesty had specially summoned, in addition to some words of encouragement, the most important thing is one thing, I hope we will draw a detailed map of the geographical situation of the mountains and rivers around Liangshanbo as soon as possible, and send it to Bianjing as soon as possible." ”

"Huh?" These words made many people a little confused, even Sun Tu was puzzled: "What does Your Majesty want to do with the topographic map there?" ”

"Don't you even know Sun Dujian, this is the rule of my Great Song Dynasty all along, whenever a general goes on an expedition, he must first let the official know the details of the battlefield, so that the official family can send the formation map to help you win!"

This sentence made Sun Tu stunned, he really didn't expect the Great Song Emperor to have such a strange hobby, did he think he was playing a real-time strategy and tactical game?

The facts really made him guess correctly, many Great Song Emperors liked to use this method to intervene in the front war, and its abuse originated from Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and then Taizong Zhenzong carried it forward.

However, the problem is that Zhao Kuangyin is a master who can fight, so he dares to make the most correct arrangement to help his courtiers achieve victory after mastering the specific terrain in the distance, but the later "Donkey Cart God of War" Zhao Guangyi and "Overlord of Lanzhou" Song Zhenzong do not have this talent, and if they follow suit like this, they are really looking for death, which is even more ridiculous than Dong Shi Xiaofeng. At least Dong Shi Xiaofeng can't kill anyone, but this kind of random method of sending formation maps to his subordinates will make tens of millions of soldiers die in battle.

But there was no opposition in the Manchu Dynasty in this matter, and many Great Song Emperors were even more happy to do it, using the blood and lives of countless people to make a strategizing addiction to winning thousands of miles, even if it was a literary emperor such as Zhao Ji, he was actually interested in this - of course, this may also be caused by his being deceived by others, Sun Tu now has too many enemies, and some people want to calculate him like this.

After the muscles on his face couldn't help but tremble a few times, Sun Tu finally nodded and agreed: "Xiaguan knows, I will have people hand over the topographic map to the imperial court as soon as possible." "No matter how much reluctance there is in my heart, I can only temporarily agree at this time, otherwise it will be a rebellion against the will and deception, and the consequences will only be more serious.

Looking at Sun Tu's dazed and helpless appearance, Zeng Kaiqian's heart became more happy, and the smile on his face became even bigger: "Sun Dujian really cares about the court and is loyal to the Son of Heaven, and this official admires it." By the way, this last thing is only related to the official himself, and you also know that the official has just arrived, and he is very unfamiliar with Qingzhou and military affairs, so I hope that Sun Dujian can copy the list of generals and lieutenants as soon as possible and hand it over to me, so that I can cooperate with you in the next war. ”

Sun Tu looked at him deeply, and he had already guessed what this person meant. After getting the relevant roster, he can inquire about the relationship between these generals and his Sun Tu, as well as their previous past, so as to use various means to divide and win over, and achieve the ultimate goal of seizing Sun Tu's power in the army.

But the problem is that he really can't directly refuse this request, because he is a supervisor appointed by the imperial court, and he can't know anyone, so it is completely reasonable for him to grasp the inside affairs of the army. It's just that in hindsight, this is completely the result of Sun Tu digging a pit and jumping down and luring the wolf into the house.

It can be said that Zeng Kaiqian is indeed a master of playing with power tricks, and with just one will, he has completely suppressed the momentum that Sun Tu and they had created so easily, and each of his requests is legitimate and reasonable, making Sun Tu completely unable to refuse, making him feel a sense of frustration that he has nowhere to spill. Now it's not just him, but the soldiers around him are also depressed to death, if it weren't for the fear of causing bigger problems, they would have jumped to their feet and scolded.

After a moment of silence, Sun Tu still nodded and said, "Of course, since Zeng Shilang is my Jingdong supervising army, it is necessary for him to grasp the situation of the soldiers under his command." The official will ask someone to prepare the relevant roster as soon as possible. ”

"That's good, the official will wait for the good news." Zeng Kaiqian felt that he had won a key victory today, and he was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity and said: "I wonder if I can take a walk around the barracks and get to know the soldiers here?" ”

"This ...... It's getting late today, and there is a banquet in the evening to catch the wind for the waiter, and you have come from afar, and you are tired of traveling and driving, so you should first find a place to rest. I have a specially prepared Qin Messenger in Qingzhou City, I don't know if the squire can give in? Sun Tu finally shook his head this time. In this regard, Zeng Kaiqian was not much dissatisfied, today's plan was successful, as for going to the barracks to see if he could stop Sun Tu once or twice, could he really stop him from entering? After all, he is now a prisoner, and his status is not under him.

When he respectfully sent it to the front of the gate, Sun Tu suddenly said again: "By the way, there is one thing that needs to be specially instructed to the waiter." My Qingzhou Army can have today, and it is fundamentally in love with the people, and it is even more innocent of the people, so I hope that the squire can restrain his subordinates, etc., and don't let them do anything out of the ordinary, making it difficult for the subordinates to do it. ”

"Of course, this official is also a person who loves the people, and will never allow others to harm the people." Zeng Kaiqian replied with a smile, but he didn't take it too seriously, ordinary people were just ants in his eyes, what was it worth mentioning.

It wasn't until the Qincha team left that the generals who had been holding back their anger and words before shouted loudly like a pot: "This guy is so rude, does he really treat us as slaves who can be called and drunk at will?" ”

"How many times have we followed the capital prisoner in blood and fire, but today we have to be oppressed by such a thing, it is really unbearable!"

"If you want me to say that we will kill the door later, give this bird Qincha a good beating, and let him know who is in charge of this Qingzhou City!"

The gossip shows how resentful these people are, and how much they don't take the court seriously. Of course, most of the people who said these words were those who had fallen into the grass before, and although the faces of the real military attachΓ©s were not good-looking, they only held back their complaints in their hearts.

After Sun Tu returned to the door and saw this scene, he also sighed, and then strode in and snorted: "You are very happy, but if you really want to do this, we will be no different from rebellion." That's the Qincha, which means the emperor and the court! ”

"But......" Everyone wanted to say something, but they didn't know where to start for a while.

Only after Zhu Wu looked at Sun Tu for a moment did he smile and say, "It seems that the capital eunuch should have a countermeasure, right?" ”

Sun Tu didn't say anything with a smile, some things are better than being said loudly. This is his grandson's Qingzhou, and the imperial court only sent such a messenger to be the prison army, and he wanted to suppress himself, which was too underestimating himself!
