On March 13, the sun was empty. An army finally arrived at the city of Suzhou, which was the main force under Zhu Mian, that is, the former Suzhou garrison. In a large and luxurious carriage in the middle of the army, Zhu Mian was sitting in it, looking at the familiar city with great ambition, and secretly said in his heart, I am finally back.

Although he has only fled Suzhou for less than a year, he feels like a world away from home for Zhu Mian and his subordinates. Thinking that he was suddenly broken in Suzhou that day, he could only ignore the embarrassment of other people who fled for their lives first, and came back again today to give many people a sense of hatred and retribution.

At this time, the whole army only wanted to enter the city as soon as possible and return to a familiar place, so they didn't stop too much, and went straight to the open north gate. But when they came to the drawbridge, there were a few shouts from the city: "Who is coming, who dares to trespass on my Suzhou City?" Stop and report your identity, or we'll let the arrows go!" In order to show their attitude, the soldiers at the head of the city immediately showed a row of arrows flashing with cold light, and a large number of soldiers quickly poured out from the city gate, holding swords and spears, blocking the way of the team.

This posture made this team of more than 10,000 people stop suddenly, and many people were a little confused, but the heads of several generals sank their faces, and one of Zhu Mian's cronies and generals immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "It's really blind to your dog's eyes, haven't you seen Zhu Shuai's banner?" Dare to stand in the way, watch your heads! ”

"Quickly get out of the way, and then send a message to Sun Tu, just say that Zhu Shuai is here, let his subordinates come and wait to greet him!" Then someone shouted loudly, completely arrogant as if he was shouting at his subordinates.

But his words were not of much use at all, the defenders at the head of the city did not say that they quickly apologized as he thought, and they didn't even take back the bows and arrows aimed at the front, they still looked nervous and vigilant: "Sun Chan has an order, and now Suzhou is not very peaceful, in order to prevent changes, the army is not allowed to enter the city!" You can go into the city, but only a hundred people at most! The voice was resolute, without the slightest accommodation.

"Bastard, dare to talk like this, this Suzhou is ours!" An officer didn't know if he was really angry or wanted to show it in front of Zhu Mian, and after an angry reprimand, he had already urged the horse to rush forward, which was about to break through the door directly.

He thought that the defenders of the city didn't dare to do anything to him, after all, he was a six-rank general, and his status was much higher than that of these big-headed soldiers. But just as he had taken two steps, he heard a string sound over his head, and then a sharp arrow broke through the air, causing him to stiffen and scream, but he didn't have time to dodge. Hearing a pop, the arrow had penetrated into the body of the horse under his crotch, and the horse had fallen to the ground with a scream, and threw the unlucky fellow directly to the ground, so painful that he squeaked and screamed, so that he was not miserable.

And this time it also scared the other people a spirit, in the past, they relied on their identity to make a fortune really never encountered such a thing, and the footsteps of several soldiers and generals who wanted to follow the rush suddenly stopped, and their faces were also white, I don't know whether they were shocked or angry. But in addition to being angry, no one dared to come forward and break into the door, and it was better to say that if he was really injured by an arrow, this crime would be great.

Zhu Mian, who saw all this later, was really angry, Suzhou was his lair, and he had lost face by being attacked by anti-thieves before, and now the Shandong army was still so obstructive, and he was even more slapped in the face in public. Suddenly, he couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately shouted: "Go up for me, let Ben Shuai talk to them, and see if he dares to stop me!" ”

This is a luxurious carriage pulled by eight horses of the same color, its specifications are almost used by princes, and the road is fast and steady on weekdays, but it is suspected of trespassing when used as Zhu Mian. Of course, Zhu Mian lived a life like an emperor in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were many things that were encroached, and he didn't care about one more thing.

The carriage soon came to the front of the team and stopped at the bottom of the city, and Zhu Mian showed half of his body and shouted at the top: "I am Zhu Mian, who dares to stop me!" With that, he asked the coachman to drive directly into the city.

The defenders at the head of the city and in front of the city gate really didn't dare to attack him, even if these soldiers hated him because they knew what he was doing behind his back, but without Sun Tu's instructions, no matter how bold they were, they didn't dare to really attack an important minister of the court.

And under the leadership of Zhu Mian, the courage of the others also quickly increased, and they immediately followed to go inside. As they moved forward, the hundred or so defenders at the city gate could only keep retreating, and they were about to retreat into the city gate hole.

At this moment, a team of men and horses had hurried over from the city, and the leader was Sun Tu. When they were stopped by the words before, the officers here at the city gate still sent someone to send a letter to Sun Tu as soon as possible, and the latter was patrolling the north gate, so he rushed over as soon as possible.

When he saw Zhu Mian's luxurious carriage, a gleam flashed in Sun Tu's eyes, but then he disappeared again, and immediately strode forward and said loudly: "Stop, stop for me!" As soon as the two shouts came out, the tense situation at the gate of the city was a meal, and even Zhu Mian re-showed his face and snorted: "Sun Tu, you are so majestic, you dare to let people block my way back to the city!" ”

"It turns out that Zhu Shuai is really coming, and the lower officials are looking forward to forgiveness if they are far away!" Sun Tu strode over with a little surprise, saying that he was pleading, but his hand was only slightly arched, without the slightest fear, as for the hundred and ten personal soldiers behind him, they stood like javelins, looking directly at the military horses at the gate of the city, although there were more than 10,000 people, but they were not afraid at all.

Before and after coming to the carriage, Sun Tucai smiled and said: "Zhu Shuai, you don't know anything, since the lower officials took the risk to take Suzhou City, the rebels have sent several groups of people and horses to pretend to do bad things. Although they were all wiped out in the end, there was also a lot of commotion, so it was ordered to strictly guard the city gates, and no large groups of people were allowed to enter. ”

"Hmph, do you still suspect that Ben Shuai is on the head? Tell them to get out of the way, and the matter can be left uninvestigated, or ......"

"Zhu Shuai, forgive me, the military order is not a child's play, so please forgive the subordinate for not obeying his orders!" Sun Tu replied without flinching, as he said this, the atmosphere at the scene was even colder, and then many soldiers gathered around, although the number was only two or three thousand, but the evil aura they exuded was much stronger than Zhu Mian's henchmen's army.

At the same time, a few more trumpets sounded in the city, and while the flags waved, I don't know how many people were rushing towards this side. This posture alone has put great pressure on Zhu Mian's subordinates, they all know how good the Shandong army is at fighting and can fight, and it is common for them to defeat the wall with weakness, not to mention that they now have an absolute advantage in strength.

For a while, the arrogance of these people was immediately extinguished, and the soldiers who had wanted to rush into the city all stopped, and the people behind kept walking back, for fear of causing unnecessary contradictions.

Seeing this situation, even Zhu Mian's heart tightened for a while, and the anger on his face had gradually turned into a little cowardice, but he still forced himself to support and shouted: "Sun Tu, are you trying to rebel?" ”

"Don't dare." Sun Tu's answer was neither humble nor arrogant: "Xiaguan is doing this just for the sake of my stability in Suzhou, after all, there are lessons from the past, and I have to guard against it!" ”

"You...... Are you going to keep me out of the city? How can such a thing be true? ”

"The lower official has already said that Zhu Shuai and the generals can enter the city to rest, but the military horses under their command should be wronged first and stationed outside the city. At least until I confirm that there are no problems with the military horses here, I will dare to let everyone enter Suzhou. ”

After staring at Sun Tu for a while, Zhu Mian finally let out a breath of turbidity, and a smile appeared on his face again: "It turns out that Qianli is also out of a public heart, and that handsome man is not good at breaking the rules of the army, as you said, leave the men and horses outside the city, but the two hundred personal soldiers I have with me have to follow in." ”

If someone who is familiar with Zhu Mian is here, and sees his reaction, he knows that this is a sign of his anger. The easier he speaks and the more gentle he behaves, the more terrible it will be when it comes to revenge.

"Yes, but they are not allowed to enter the city with bows and crossbows, so as to be safe. Zhu Shuai rest assured, your safety will be fully guaranteed, and no one will hurt you. Sun Tu made an exception and agreed, but put forward new conditions.

The smile on Zhu Mian's face was a little more full: "Okay, just do what you say, take out the bow and crossbow, and let's go into the city." The others stayed outside the city, waiting for the army to arrive! To be honest, he really regretted his decision to come back in a hurry, if he knew this, he shouldn't have only brought more than 10,000 descendants, but should have come with other troops, then he would have more confidence.

Sun Tu didn't feel his anger and killing intent, but just smiled in response. But just as the carriage was about to continue forward, he was stopped by Sun Tu again: "Slow! ”

"What are you going to do? Sun Qianli, don't take an inch! "This time, Rao is Zhu Mian has a city government, and he is already angry.

"Please also ask Zhu Shuai to get out of the car, and it will not be too late for my people to check that there is no problem with this car before entering the city." Sun Tu pointed to Zhu Mian's car, and said with a solemn expression: "This car is not small, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be nothing hidden." ”

"You ......" Zhu Mian was so angry that his body trembled this time, he was really too deceitful! If he hadn't made any compromises before, he might have turned around and left the city, waiting for the other armies to arrive before fighting back. But now, I have endured a lot of pickling before, and it is even more cost-effective to turn around and leave. So after some hesitation, he finally hated getting out of the carriage, but he didn't really ask Sun Tu to send someone to check his carriage, but directly asked people to help him get on the horse, and then rode the horse inside without looking back, and the carriage was handed over and pulled out of the city.

This time, although Sun Tu offended Zhu Mian to death, he also severely frustrated the spirit of his subordinates, and these people didn't dare to talk nonsense, so they could only obediently garrison outside the city.
