The Liao army retreated to the camp to heal its wounds and defend itself, but the Song army had no camp to retreat this time. A flood destroyed most of the entire camp, not to mention the loss of most of all kinds of baggage equipment, and even the soldiers and horses were also damaged, which made the whole army dare not stay in place for a long time, so they could only quickly retreat at night and withdraw for twenty or thirty miles, before they stopped again and built a rather simple camp.

By this time, it was already dawn the next day, and the heavy rain that had been falling all day and night had finally stopped. But the Song army was still in shock and unsettled. This is not only because the flood last night made everyone feel scared, but also because the whole battle came to an abrupt end, which made people start to worry.

At that time, those soldiers were inspired by Sun Tu and no longer had any worries, and they fought out of the military camp with him, faced the Liao army, and completely suppressed the Liao army under the first battle, which made these Song troops feel unprecedented happiness. But...... When they thought that they could win the battle and thus make a great contribution, there was a flood in the rear, and the army was in turmoil, resulting in them not being able to do their full work, and the battle ended in a draw.

It would have been not bad to have such a result, after all, for decades, the Song and Liao confrontations with the Great Song Dynasty have always been the losing side, and it is a rare honor to be able to draw the Liao army in this decisive battle. But the key is that they all went against Tong Shuai's orders in this battle, and if they win, it would be better to say, now like this, once they calm down, they will naturally have to worry about Tong Shuai and even the later court to settle accounts.

At this time, the temporary camp of the Song army can be described as a gloomy fog, how can the soldiers have the slightest joy, many people look at the tent behind as a big tent of the Chinese army, guessing what will happen next. Because in this tent, important people such as Tong Guan, Erzhong, and Sun Tu are discussing important matters. Maybe when the curtain is lifted, everyone's end will be decided.

However, what these soldiers didn't know was that the generals who seemed to be high above and could decide their life and death with one word were more nervous than them at this time, and their momentum had been completely suppressed by Sun Tu alone, and they didn't even dare to say a word.

"Tong Shuai, you should know how much of a mistake you made before in today's battle, right?" As soon as Sun Tu opened his mouth, he didn't show the slightest mercy: "If my Song army can get one heart, why can't I break the big enemy in front of me?" But now, after this battle, the Western Army suffered heavy casualties, and the baggage logistics suffered great losses. ”

What he said was indeed right, the war of the country was fought on logistics supply, and now that the camp has been destroyed, the losses are really incalculable. And in the final analysis, it all lies in Tong Guan's selfishness and improper use of troops, which gave the Liao army time to fully prepare, and at the same time divided the entire Song army.

Tong Guan's face became more and more gloomy: "Sun Qianli, do you want to put all the sins on the old man's head?" The old man hasn't asked you about your guilt, not only coerced the commander in the army, but also led the troops to fight without authorization, where do you still have the appearance of a court official? Are you going to rebel? He was panicked in his heart, and there was only one way to deal with it at this time.

If it had been someone else, I would have been frightened by these words. At least at this time, the second elder of the seed family turned pale and looked at Sun Tu with concern. They never thought that Sun Tu would be able to send troops to rescue and do such a big thing. Well, once this matter is really reported back to the imperial court, the responsibility is too great, not only Sun Tu, but also they will be implicated.

But Sun Tu was unmoved, just sneered: "At the moment of the great enemy, I only have how to win in my eyes, so naturally I don't care about other rules and red tape." And Tong Shuai, don't forget, if I hadn't led the army, I am afraid that this time our army would have been completely defeated by the Liao army. ”

These words made everyone's faces pale again, and when they think about it, this is really the case. Without Sun Tu's hand to disobey the order, the western army in front will inevitably be defeated by the Liao army, and then the rear Dazhai will be attacked by the water, and it will inevitably be chaotic, after all, the more people, the more chaotic the situation after the attack.

At that time, the Liao army will be covered by the momentum of the Western army, how can the already chaotic Song army withstand their onslaught, it will inevitably be a rout, and the result will only be several times worse than now. It's Tong Guan, and it's hard to deny this statement at this time, so he can only snort lowly.

After a while, he looked at Sun Tu: "So you say so much, what do you mean?" ”

"What I mean is already very clear, Tong Shuai, you are not a qualified army commander at all, please hand over the military power!" Sun Tu no longer beat around the bush and said something that made everyone present change color.

Tong Guan's face turned even pale, and he suddenly got up and shouted, "Sun Tu, what do you want to do?" Are you going to do it to me? He suddenly remembered the fate of Zhu Mian, Gao Yu and others...... In the past, when he knew these things, he still had a feeling of schadenfreude, after all, those people were equivalent to himself, but they were his enemies, and it was a good thing to be eradicated by Sun Tu one by one. However, when this terrible scene fell on his head, he felt a burst of fear, this guy really dared to kill!

Sun Tu glanced at him and smiled again: "Tong Shuai doesn't have to be so nervous, I won't do such an ungrateful thing and take revenge." You have a great favor with me, if you hadn't led me into officialdom at the beginning, there would be no Sun Tu today. ”

These words made Tong Guan worry for a while, he really regretted it, why didn't he see the wolf ambition of this son in the first place, and he actually cultivated it with all his might? It's good now, Sun Tu is already fledgling, but he threatens himself.

"You...... Since you remember these kindnesses, and you still want to take away my military power today, isn't this a revenge? In the end, he could only grit his teeth and ask.

Sun Tu shook his head and said: "One yard is one yard, your kindness to me is private, but this military is public." What's more, if you really want to talk about it, I Sun Tu has done a lot of things for you, and I can almost compensate for your promotion of me. Therefore, please don't make it difficult for me, as long as you can cooperate well, I can promise you, not only to ensure your safety, but also to give you the credit at that time. Isn't it rejoicing that we all take what we need? ”

After a pause, Sun Tu said again: "What's more, Tong Shuai, you have worked hard for most of your life, and now that you are getting older, it is indeed time to take a break." The affairs of the army are entrusted to me and the two brothers, and we should be foolproof. ”

Feeling Sun Tu's determination, and the surrounding generals were all suppressed by his momentum, no one dared to speak out against it, even if Tong Guan was unwilling in his heart, he could only bow his head and accept his fate at this time.

He knew very well that at this moment, even if he ignored Sun Tu's threat of force and rushed out of the tent to ask someone to take down Sun Tu and the two kinds, there were few responders. This can already be seen from yesterday's incident, which was almost a mutiny. And now, those soldiers who have fought with Sun Tu are naturally more willing to be in charge, coupled with the Western Army, even if there are people loyal to themselves in the forbidden army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make waves. Once he is really tough, he will only force Sun Tu to make a dead hand, and then he will really follow in the footsteps of Gao Yu and others.

Tong Guan is also a smart person, and he understands the truth that the person who knows the times is Junjie, and there is no possibility of turning the tables in such a situation, so he can only hand over the military power in his hands - and in his opinion, it makes no difference whether he pays it or not. After a while, he finally sighed: "Old man, in this case, everything is up to you!" As he spoke, he took out a gold seal that had been hidden in his sleeve and threw it to Sun Tu, which was the handsome seal given to him by the imperial court.

When the other generals saw Sun Tu take the handsome seal, their faces changed again, and this time, the matter was really irreparable. It's just that I don't know what he will do with himself and others who have won military power?

Even the two of them, who are the beneficiaries, were also solemn and couldn't say a word at this time. Sun Tu did this, which is really not much different from an open rebellion. But they also knew that this was indeed the only way to turn the tide of the current battle, and only when the whole army was in their own hands could they have a chance to regain their advantage and attack Liao again in the north.

But what about after this battle? What choice will he make? After the court knew the truth about all this, how could it allow them?

Sun Tu didn't have such concerns at all, but after sweeping his gaze over the dozens of generals in front of him, he reported a series of names: "Wei Bing, Zhang Zhongkang, Liu Changzhou, Wan Yong......" Every time he reported the name of a person, the look on his face was moved, and it was not until he finished reporting the seventeen or eighteen names that he made his decision: "You wait for each to return to the camp, restrain the soldiers and horses under your command, and appease the morale of the army, in case there is a change." The next step is to follow the orders of the two ministers. ”

After a slight hesitation, the more than a dozen people got up and agreed, and then left one after another. It was clear that they had quickly chosen to side with Sun Tu.

In fact, these named generals are all people who have been excluded and neglected in the army before, and they are all holding their breath in their hearts, and they are naturally unwilling to let go of the opportunity at this time. said that in the previous period of seemingly free days in the army, Sun Tu had actually been observing and inquiring, and had figured out some things in the Song army. Therefore, at this time, we can have a target and make arrangements quickly.

Tong Guan and the rest of the generals were even more embarrassed in their hearts, only then did they know that Sun Tu had already planned to seize power, so it seemed that he had not lost too unjustly.

"As for your ......" Sun Tu swept over the others and smiled: "Just follow Tong Shuai and rest in the camp." "Although the words are euphemistic, the meaning is clear, these people and Tong Guan will be placed under house arrest in the future, at least until the Liao army is defeated, and they will no longer have freedom at all......

In a few words, Sun Tu had already seized the military power and firmly held it in his own hands.
