Chapter 529: Reckoning with the Autumn Queen (Part II)
"Sun Dujian!" Seeing that Sun Tu was about to directly seize Duan Yu's military power in a few words, and the latter had long lost the courage to resist at this time, and he didn't even dare to say a word of questioning, Shen Danian finally couldn't help but speak in a deep voice.
Because he knew that he would not object to it, once the matter came true, then this Zizhou would become another Qingzhou city with Sun Tu having the final say. He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Murong Yanchao and Gao Xiang, so he stared at Sun Tu and said, "You said that this official is acting on your behalf, and what you do yourself will only be even more excessive!" When will it be your turn as an outsider to call the shots in my Zizhou matter? Also, if you don't have the military department and the Privy Council, why should you remove Duan Duan's official position and seize his military power? ”
"Just because this official is the commander of the Jingdong Road Soldiers and Horses sealed by the imperial court, he has the right to meddle in the military affairs of the state capitals of the road in wartime, and the transfer of generals is also within the scope of the official's authority!" Sun Tu looked back at the other party calmly, without the slightest sign of weakness.
"Now is not a wartime ......" Shen Danian hurriedly questioned, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Tu: "Shen Governor's Mansion, you are wrong, now is wartime, don't think that this official has relieved the siege of Dongping Mansion is peaceful, this official was ordered to clear out the Liangshan bandits, and now he needs the cooperation of the soldiers and horses of the state capital to get rid of this big trouble." And since the soldiers and horses here in Zizhou do not listen to the call, this official has the right to arrange for other people to be the capital of this state. ”
"You ......" Shen Danian was anxious, and he had to say anything more, but Sun Tu didn't give him this opportunity anymore: "Governor Shen, this official has said that the affairs in the army will not bother you as a civil official, if you dare to talk nonsense and disturb the hearts of our army, don't blame this official for being unkind to you." Now everything in Shandong is focused on being able to pacify the Liangshan bandits, and whoever dares to do this bad thing may collude with the Liangshan bandits, and this official will never spare him! ”
This was Chi Guoguo's intimidation, which immediately made Shen Danian's face turn pale, and his body subconsciously took a step back. He had clearly felt a powerful killing intent from Sun Tu's body, and it seemed that as long as he said the wrong word again, he would give the order to do it.
Thinking of the final fate of the two prefects of Qingzhou, Shen Danian's heart suddenly mentioned, and he was already a little timid. It was only then that he truly realized Sun Tu's strength, which was more difficult and terrifying than any of the generals he had come into contact with before, and he dared to do all this because he had an elite army in his hands that was enough to shock the entire Shandong!
After seeing this scene, a group of Zizhou military attachés, including Duan Yu, were also filled with emotion in their hearts, and some even felt happy. They have been military generals for so many years, they have really had enough of grievances, and no one has ever been able to suppress a five-rank prefect like Sun Dujian and dare not speak up at all.
Maybe this is the identity that military generals like us should have, and only by following Sun Dujian can we really hold our heads high, and we don't have to grovel and be cautious as before...... Such a strange thought suddenly appeared in the hearts of many people, and the awe in their eyes when they looked at Sun Tu was even heavier.
Sun Tu grinned, revealing the white teeth inside: "Governor Shen, do you have anything else to say?" ”
"Although this official is a civilian official and can't manage the affairs of your army, but this matter is not in accordance with the rules, I will definitely go to the court to show it." Although Shen Danian never relented, he had actually given up fighting against Sun Tu again, and acquiesced to his decision to be replaced as the governor of Zizhou in disguise.
"That's up to you." Sun Tu smiled disdainfully, and then glanced at Fan Liang, who was overjoyed: "Fan Dujian, prepare well after returning to the camp, and go to Qingzhou with this official in two days, there must be no mistake." "His replacement is not only for the sake of prestige, but more importantly, to really control the military power here in his own hands.
Fan Liang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly responded. Although going to Qingzhou will reduce his power in the army a lot, compared to being under Duan Yu's command before, he still has to rely on many people to live by snorting, which is obviously more beneficial to him now.
And Sun Tu's words were not finished, and then he said: "Also, this time you will go to Qingzhou for careful training, so you have to bring enough food, grass and military salaries." ”
"Ah...... This ......" Fan Liang suddenly looked embarrassed, and couldn't help but glance at Shen Danian, the meaning was already obvious - the money and food needed in the army were naturally in the hands of his prefect, otherwise he would not have eaten Duan Yu to death, which is also a common phenomenon in the state capitals of the Great Song Dynasty today.
But Sun Tu didn't mean to discuss with Shen Danian at all, he just said, "This is a military order!" If it can't be done, military law will do it. If you're going to rob it, you have to prepare enough money and food for me! ”
Shen Danian was even more angry when he heard this, he was clearly threatening himself, if he dared to withhold the military rations and silver at this time, he would have to bear the consequences that might cause chaos. But after seeing Sun Tu's grim face, he calmed down again as if he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head. This person's courage is too great, killing officials is like a common thing, who knows if he really dares to carry it, he will put his own life into it.
This time, he really understood how reasonable that old saying was, and when Xiucai met Bing, he really couldn't explain it clearly. In the end, he could only compromise, gritted his teeth and said: "Since everything is for my Shandong Taiping, this official will naturally not drag Sun Dujian back, and we will give enough money and food in Zizhou." ”
"That's good, Governor Shen can understand our difficulties, but he can be a good official with responsibility." Sun Tu praised casually, glanced at the people in front of him again, and then hugged his fists slightly: "The affairs of the army are busy, and this official will stay soon." Two days later, I will wait for you outside the city. The last sentence was said to Fan Liang, who was busy intervening, and it seemed that the spirit of the whole person was very different from before.
It wasn't until a long time after Sun Tu left that a few people in the room came back from the silence, Duan Yu looked at Shen Danian, then at Fan Liang, and said blankly: "Then what should I do?" ”
"Rubbish!" Shen Zhifu changed color, slammed the table and said: "This is Zizhou, it is your and my territory, why is it completely overwhelmed by him as an outsider and dare not resist?" Can't you just be tough and push back against his words? ”
A stormy rebuke fell on Duan Yu, making his whole face red and blue, blue and white, but he couldn't say anything. And just when Shen Danian looked at Fan Liang with a gloomy gaze and wanted to start with him, this one suddenly hugged his fist: "Governor Shen, there are still things to do in the lower official army, so don't bother." Also, I hope that you will quickly allocate the military food and salary, so as not to affect the opening of our army. As he spoke, he left as if he had fled without waiting for the other party's reaction.
Although these words were not too tough, and he left in a panic after finishing speaking, this was the most daring performance of the Zizhou military attache in front of Shen Zhifu. And although Shen Danian's face changed again after he said this, he didn't dare to scold Duan Yu for a while.
People are sometimes so bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, as long as you can resist, the person who bullies you may not dare to do it.
Duan Yu looked thoughtfully at Fan Liang, who was walking away, and then at Shen Danian, who was a little stunned, and suddenly puffed up his chest: "The lower official is leaving." He didn't want to pretend to be a grandson in front of this anymore, Duan Yu really regretted it at this time, why didn't he have the courage before, so that he ended up in such a field today.
Even though Shen Danian was dissatisfied with this, even if he still let go of cruel words, he didn't dare to do anything with money and food, so he could only hand over the money and food of the township soldiers who were about to leave within two days. Moreover, it was not until two days later, after Sun Tu left with the military horses of the two states, that he finally put his mind at ease, and then sent someone to send several charges of impeachment of Sun Tu for acting recklessly and trespassing into the government to the capital.
As soon as his note was issued, the matter here in Zizhou had already spread to the ears of officials in other state capitals in Shandong. When he learned what happened and Sun Tuna's reason for suppressing the Shen Governor's Mansion, the prefects and governors of various places also panicked.
Because their previous approach was no different from Shen Danian's, they also refused to let go of the soldiers and horses in the city, and they did not send troops to rescue Dongping Mansion, if Sun Tu came to the door like this again, they were afraid that it would be difficult to withstand the anger of the other party. Now that Sun Tu has come to ask for the crime with the momentum of the great victory over the Liangshan bandits, how can these local officials be able to resist it?
After some weighing, some local officials quickly made the wisest choice, and sent the soldiers and horses in the city to Qingzhou without waiting for Sun Tu to come to the door, which can be regarded as obeying his dispatch. The first to make this decision was Gu Tongzhou, the prefect of Jeju, because he had the most contacts with Sun Tu, and he also knew the strength of the Qingzhou Army better.
As a result, a scene that many people did not expect appeared. More than a month ago, the township army of Shandong Province did not listen to the dispatch after Sun Tu defeated the Liangshan bandits, and suddenly rushed to Qingzhou, although the soldiers and horses that each state capital could take out were not much, but together, it also made Qingzhou more than 10,000 people and horses, plus the local elite of Qingzhou, together, the available troops under Sun Tu's command reached 15,000 people, which is the largest number of troops that Sun Tu can mobilize since he took charge of the army.
It was not until this time that Huang Wenbing and the others really obeyed Sun Dujian's foresight, he had said before that the rescue of Dongping Mansion was not only a military affair but also a government affair, and everyone was still suspicious before, but now everything has become a fact.
Of course, with the soldiers and horses in place, it means that Sun Tu's expedition to Liangshan bandits will also be on the agenda.
It's just that sometimes people are not as good as heaven, and the arrival of a few people at this time makes this matter more variable......
