Seeing hundreds of carts full of grain being swaggered into the city under the eyelids of the officials waiting for him, Murong Yanchao's face was gloomy to the extreme, and when he looked at Wang Ping, there was a lot more hostility in his eyes.

At this time, how could he not guess that there was a problem with the identity of the other party, I am afraid that it was Tong Guan and others, the backer behind Sun Tu, who secretly supported him, and the ugliness he lost this time was really not a small loss. And more importantly, how can he sue in this way? These two people are completely the same dog, even if he said in public that he was now sitting on the big army in Qingzhou City and forcibly suppressing himself as the prefect, I am afraid that Wang Ping will help Sun Tu hide it, right?

Although he was angry in his heart, Murong Yanchao was not shallow after all, and his face was only ugly for a short while, and then he came up again with a smile: "Now that Wang Tizhi's errand has been handed over, it is even more impossible to refuse the official's wishes, and how about going to the city to drink a few glasses of water and wine and rest for a few days?" ”

After Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, he also smiled and hugged his fists and said: "Since the Murong Prefect is so gracious, how can the lower officials not know how to lift, so thank you." ”

Seeing this, Sun Tu was also busy on the side and said: "I don't know if the lower officials are fortunate to be at the same table?" I don't think the Murong Prefect will be stingy with that bit of wine and food, right? ”

"Haha, even if Sun Dujian drinks and eats a lot of food, this official can still afford to entertain you. And when you came to Qingzhou that day, the official did not set up a banquet for you to catch the wind, so I will make up for it today. Please-" Murong Yanchao had fully recovered his previous vigor at this time, smiled and made a gesture, and then led his subordinates to stride away, and at the same time secretly made a decision in his heart.

Sun Tu heard that the other party was sarcastic about being a wine bag and rice bag, but he didn't get angry, he just smiled faintly, and made a gesture of invitation to Wang Ping, so he walked half a step behind the other party and walked in, which can be regarded as giving this person enough face. As for the officers and soldiers who transferred the envoy to the yamen, they followed them into the city, and when the time came, the people from their own government and military camps came forward to greet them.

After pulling a certain distance from Murong Yanchao and the others in front, Wang Ping glanced back at Sun Tu, lowered his voice and said, "Sun Dujian is really not simple, he has only been in Qingzhou for more than a month, and he has already been able to compete with Murong Yanchao. As mentioned in Tong's secret letter, this Murong prefect can be described as a man of his word in Qingzhou, and many officials who came here did not end well. This is to point out his identity and origin in person.

Sun Tu had already guessed his identity, and just smiled when he heard this: "It's just some luck, but it's nothing." However, Wang Tizhi, you really did me a great favor when you came this time, otherwise even if I could suppress him for a while, as long as the food and salary in the army were still in the hands of the government government, he would always be countered by him. ”

"Hehe, that's easy to say. In addition, Privy Tong also asked me to pass on a message to you, if you can monopolize the power of Qingzhou, even if you get rid of Murong Yanchao, as long as there is a legitimate excuse, he can help you withstand the pressure of the imperial court. Wang Ping lowered his voice again and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Sun Tu's eyebrows raised sharply when he heard this, and he didn't expect Tong Guan to act in a hurry than himself. But thinking about it, he couldn't fight Gao Yu in the court, and now Gao Yu has joined forces with Liang Shicheng, I'm afraid his situation is getting worse and worse. That's it

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It was time for him to respond from the local forces to boost the morale of his subordinates.

Of course, Sun Tu didn't believe that Tong Guan could really speak, but he did his errand properly in Jiangzhou at the beginning, and he also helped Cai Jiu get rid of the big trouble around him. But the result? It wasn't that Liang Shicheng and them found an excuse and sent them to Qingzhou, and Tong Guan didn't mean to protect himself at all. Since this was the case before, when he really got rid of Murong Yanchao, Tong Guan might not really keep his promise and protect himself after the court blamed him.

Anyway, others are unreliable, and the most credible thing is their own strength. Therefore, the key is to train the Qingzhou Army into an elite division as soon as possible, as for whether to get rid of Murong Yanchao or not, then we can only wait and see.

Seeing that Sun Tu fell silent after hearing this, Wang Ping didn't say anything more, he just passed on a word, and in terms of status and importance to Tong Guan, he couldn't compare with Sun Tu, so he naturally didn't dare to ask more. It wasn't until Sun Tu came back to his senses that he took out a letter from his arms and handed it over: "This is a letter written by Tong Shumi, and it is also for you." To be honest, he was really a little envious of Sun Tu, a small eunuch far away in Qingzhou, who could make Tong Shumi value him so much, not only sent himself over to help him, but also sent a handwritten letter.

Sun Tu was also a little strange, but he still thanked him and received the letter in his sleeve. Of course, it is not good to read the contents of the letter now, so it is not too late to wait until I return to the barracks later.

The two then chatted about some other things while walking, and soon came to a three-story restaurant, which was the largest Guiyan Building in Qingzhou City, where Murong Yanchao set up the banquet today.

At this time, as soon as the people in the restaurant saw the arrival of the government, they hurriedly led the people out to greet the shopkeeper, and then welcomed everyone into the building with a smile on their faces. Today, the three-story restaurant has been completely chartered by the government office, so there are no other guests, those government officials and some of the officials of the transfer envoy can also drink and eat on the first and second floors, as for the third floor, it is used to entertain distinguished guests, only Murong Yanchao, Fang Ping, Shen Bian and other important officials of the government government, as well as Sun Tu and Wang Ping can enter the table, so it is extremely empty here.

Although there were not many people at the table, the wine and food on the third floor were really not bad, and Murong Yanchao originally planned to treat the people who came, so that he could use his strength to deal with Sun Tu. Now things haven't worked out, but the wine and food have already been ordered, so naturally they can't be returned, and it's cheaper than Sun Tu, who came with him.

Compared with the eating appearance of these civil officials who were born in the imperial examination with self-respecting status, Sun Tu and Wang Ping began to eat and drink as soon as they sat down. In addition to the necessary entertainment with these government officials, Wang Ping still exchanged cups with Sun Tu more, talking to each other about military or martial arts things, and he really had some meaning of being like no one else.

In fact, don't look at Wang Ping's acting so casually, as if he didn't give Murong Yan a face at all, in fact, this is also where he is clever. He had already seen that the battle in Qingzhou City had become a fire and water, he didn't want to get involved, and he didn't want Murong Yanchao to say that Sun Tu was not in front of him, so should he report it truthfully? So it's better to simply pick out the position, so that the other party will always be difficult to speak.

Of course, his performance is still there

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It attracted a lot of dissatisfaction from several officials of the government, so when the wine was half-drunk, the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more deserted, and only he and Sun Tu toasted each other from time to time.

Seeing that the banquet was about to break up unhappily, Murong Yanchao suddenly raised his glass and smiled at Sun Tu and said, "Sun Dujian, this official wants to toast you with a glass of wine." Since you came to my Qingzhou, the military capacity of this city has been much stronger than before, and this credit has not been possible by those generals in the past. ”

Sun Tu raised his glass in response, and then after drying the wine, he smiled and said: "The prefect has a good reputation, and the lower officials are just doing what they should do." Since he is the governor of Qingzhou, he naturally wants to think about strengthening the strength of our army. ”

"Well said." Murong Yanchao had already taken a countermeasure, and at this time he filled a glass of wine and saluted: "In this case, please ask Sun Dujian to drink this cup again, this official still has important things to entrust." ”

Sun Tu was not in a hurry to drink again, but just looked at the other party with a smile: "What does the prefect command, but it is said that the lower officials can't be a pretext." Sure enough, it was impossible for Murong Yanchao to admit defeat easily.

"It's not a big deal. In recent years, because of the lack of military prosperity in Qingzhou, bandits have been rampant in the territory. Just over a month ago, there was a tragic case in which all the people of a village were slaughtered by robbers, and the official was really ashamed in his heart. But now it's okay, with Sun Dujian you rejuvenate my Qingzhou military affairs, and it is also an instant to come and sweep away the thieves in the territory, and I hope that Sun Dujian will not shirk it. By the way, for such an important matter, please ask Wang Tisha to be a witness, I don't know what you think? In the end, Murong Yanchao had already set his sights on Wang Ping.

Sun Tu frowned slightly, already knowing why he did this. This is clearly to let himself and his soldiers and horses go on an adventure. Although the Xiang army has a certain size, in the eyes of others, it has only been established for a long time, and it is probably not the opponent of those bandits and robbers who have been rampant in the local area for many years and have occupied a favorable location.

And as long as he makes a mistake in the matter of leveling the thief and loses his troops, the previous momentum will be reversed again. Even, even if he didn't have any problems with the thief, as long as he transferred the Xiang army out of Qingzhou City, Murong Yanchao, who had been rooted here for many years, might have a chance to turn around.

It's just one thing to see that his intentions are the same thing, but Sun Tu can't refuse his request, because this is his duty as the Qingzhou Metropolitan Eunuch, and there is Wang Ping on the side. If it is a complaint or something, Wang Ping can still help hide it, but it is related to the stability of Qingzhou, he can't pretend that he doesn't know anything anymore, maybe when the matter gets out, his responsibility is not small.

This Murong Yanchao still didn't give up, but he couldn't dodge this move, so he could only take it. After Sun Tu had an idea, he smiled and said: "What the Murong Prefect said is very true, several bandits and bandits in Qingzhou are indeed very harmful, in fact, even if you don't mention it, this official has the intention of suppressing them one by one." However, now that the Xiang army has only re-trained, it will not be able to go out for a while, so I have to give me some more time to train the army. ”

"Oh? I wonder how long it will take for Sun Dujian to take? The situation in my Qingzhou has become more and more unbearable, but I can't wait too long. ”

"Within this year, this official will first level one or two of his bandit lairs!" Sun Tu's answer was resounding!
