Seeing the reaction of the generals, a trace of ridicule flashed in Sun Tu's eyes. He knows very well why everyone is like this, don't look at the previous armies sent troops smoothly, like a plough court sweeping holes to fight a lot of cities, but in fact, the armies did not encounter a real strong enemy, until they came to this Huzhou city, they learned the strength of the elite of the anti-army.

It is precisely because of this that these generals are actually a little timid in their hearts, especially when they hear that thousands of grain troops were easily broken and scattered by the enemy, they naturally dare not act rashly.

But this does not mean that Sun Tu recognized their practice of protecting himself, just a blink of an eye, a bold idea has come to mind, at the moment, his face also turned cold, and he opened his mouth and said: "Lu Mo, Wang Yang, Zhang Kuangchu......" As he pronounced a name, some generals shook slightly, and looked over with some anxiety, until he called the names of more than a dozen generals in one breath, which turned the uneasiness in their hearts into doubts, and there were too many people at this point.

And after Sun Tu counted the names of the seventeen or eighteen generals present, he even gave an order that made them all feel that they had heard it wrong: "You wait for each of the soldiers and horses under your command to return north together!" Be sure to find the rebel army before there is any change in Suzhou, and encircle and annihilate it! Is it possible for you to do it? ”

The generals all looked at him with their mouths open, and they didn't know what to say. Because Sun Tu ordered all the generals except the Shandong Army in one go, in other words, he wanted to transfer all the other soldiers and horses to the rear, leaving only the Shandong Army all the way outside Huzhou City.

Such a decision was too unexpected and even more risky. You must know that compared to the thousands or thousands of soldiers and horses in the rear, the defenders of Huzhou City are more dangerous, and he is completely sacrificing his roots in doing so, once something really goes wrong, the consequences will be serious.

Even Song Jiang was a little puzzled at this time, and couldn't help but speak: "The general thinks twice, in this way, only 20,000 people stay outside Huzhou......"

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Tu had already waved his hand and interrupted: "I have made up my mind, this is a military order, and it must not be violated!" As he spoke, his eyes swept over the generals like lightning. None of the others dared to look at them, so they got up and crossed their hands and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

"Prepare everything today, and leave tomorrow morning, without delay!" Sun Tu ordered again with a serious expression. Although the generals were full of doubts, they could only answer the order again at this time, and then leave the tent with doubts and prepare to go.

It wasn't until these generals retreated, leaving only the Shandong Army's own family in the tent that Dong Ping took the lead and said: "General, isn't it too risky to arrange like this?" There are no less than 50,000 rebels in the city, and once they fight on all fronts, can we really win? ”

"Yes, General, although our Shandong army is good at fighting, it is difficult to say that it will win in a head-to-head confrontation with a multiple enemy." Song Jiang also spoke again to persuade.

Sun Tu sighed: "If you don't take the risk, this Huzhou doesn't know when it will be able to take it." You have also seen that now Pang Wanchun, the defender of Huzhou, is a person who is good at using soldiers, and the entire city is managed by him like an iron bucket, but it is difficult to succeed if it is only attacked. In that case, it would be better to take the risk and think of getting them out of the city.

"I believe that with the strength of our Shandong army, even if it is twice as much as the enemy, as long as we work together, we will be able to win! So in my opinion, this change in the rear is not only a danger, but also an opportunity, so that we can take Huzhou City as soon as possible! In the end, his eyes were full of determination, and it was obvious that he was determined to fight the enemy head-on with the strength of an army.

Seeing that Sun Tu had made up his mind, his subordinates didn't want to say anything more, so they could only get up and clench their fists with solemn expressions: "I'll wait for the general to kill the enemy!" ”

"Good! When the time comes, let people take out all the bullets, and I want Pang Wanchun to know that my Shandong army is far stronger than he thinks! ”

￥￥￥￥￥

"Pang Shuai, look at the ...... over there" The next morning, when Pang Wanchun went to the city to check, some of his subordinates pointed to the Song army camp a few miles away in confusion and shouted.

And when he looked in the direction, there was a little more surprise on his face. Because they saw that the soldiers and horses in the Song army camp were moving slowly, and they were actually retreating north. Moreover, the number of soldiers and horses mobilized was still quite large, and it always felt that the whole army was retreating.

"What's going on? Could it be that the Song army saw that Huzhou was in difficulty, so they gave up attacking the city? ”

"No, these days, their siege is not too fierce, and the damage is not great, how can they retreat? What's more, even if they really feel that our Huzhou is difficult and want to retreat, they shouldn't choose to retreat at this time, aren't they afraid that we will chase them out? ”

"Could it be that there is something wrong in their rear, or that Song Ting ordered the troops to retreat?"

"If you want me to see, this may be a conspiracy to lure us out of the city, that Sun Tu is a person who is used to tricks, and I don't know what he has in mind this time!"

…… A cadre of soldiers was also confused after seeing the actions of the Song army outside the city, and all kinds of conjectures came out, and no one could come up with an accurate idea. Even Pang Wanchun muttered: "Which one is Song Jun singing, Sun Tu really thinks that this can lead me to lead the army out of the city to pursue, that is too underestimate me Pang someone!" ”

But with the passage of time, when it came to noon, the results appeared, and everyone's views changed again, and the Song army only left an army outside the city, just looking at the high flying Sun Zi banner, you can know what army is left. The rest of the horses had already gone far away, and even if everyone tried their best to look, they could only see the hazy shadow of the team in the distance.

"Did they really withdraw? Only one part of the Shandong Army was left here? What is the reason for this? Could it be that there was some dispute within the Song army? "Many people have doubts in their hearts.

Pang Wanchun, who had been guarding the city and watching Song Jun go away, frowned: "This matter is really strange, what is the purpose of these many people suddenly abandoning my Huzhou?" There are only two reasonable explanations, one of which is that they are in trouble behind the road and need to send a large army back to help; The second is that they plan to bypass our Huzhou City, and instead attack other cities, or even directly attack Hangzhou City! ”

The others didn't think as much as he thought, and when they saw that there were only 20,000 or so people left outside the city, their courage instantly increased. At that moment, someone shouted: "Pang Shuai, no matter what their purpose is, it is a fact that the strength of the Song army has been greatly reduced at this time, we just take the opportunity to kill it, as long as we can annihilate the main force of the Song army on the spot, the danger of our Wu country will naturally be solved!" ”

"Pang Shuai, I am willing to be a pioneer!"

"I'm willing to go too!"

Suddenly, many generals clamored to go out of the city to kill the enemy in revenge for the hatred that came during this time. To be honest, these people have been holding their stomachs for a long time recently, since they failed to take Changshu a few months ago, but after the Song army took advantage of Suzhou to take advantage of it, the Wu army was too passive and the losses were too great.

Among them, especially a tall and majestic general who looks like an iron tower is the most eager, he is Liao Qing, the younger brother of Liao Guang, the general of the Wu army who was killed under Changshu City that day, but he has always wanted to avenge his brother.

In the face of the constant invitation of the generals under his command, Pang Wanchun became more and more calm, and immediately turned his face and shouted: "Shut up for me!" Have you all forgotten the big losses you suffered before? Sun Tu outside the city is not easy to match, this person is extremely cunning, how can he show such a big flaw? In my opinion, this is clearly a trap, what we have to do is to hold Huzhou, and leave other things for later. Those who dare to speak out will be severely punished! ”

Pang Wanchun's prestige in the army is extremely high, and now this roar immediately shocked everyone, and the generals at the head of the city, who were still shouting again and again, immediately lost their voices. After a while, they reluctantly clasped their fists and responded, "The last general obeys." ”

Pang Wanchun glanced at the Song army camp from a distance, and thought to himself: "Sun Tu, don't you want to use such tricks to disturb our army's heart, I, Pang Wanchun, am not the reckless man who is eager to make meritorious contributions, but can't even see the danger!" ”

So in the next few days, a strange scene appeared in front of Huzhou City. The defenders who obviously had twice the strength of the army were actually pressed in the city by the 20,000 Shandong army, and the Song army had several provocations to attack the city, but the defenders were holding on steadily, and there was no intention of trying to go out of the city to break the enemy.

There was no progress in the past three or four days, which made many soldiers feel both dazed and a little relaxed, at least for the time being, the enemy did not dare to kill out of the city. But Sun Tu felt a headache about this, he knew that this time he really met an opponent, this Pang Wanchun was far more calm than he thought, he really had no faults, and he didn't seek a meritorious way of playing.

"Tell me how you can lure them out of the city and fight a battle?" Sun Tu had no choice but to ask his subordinates and others.

In this regard, those generals really couldn't come up with a way, but Wu Yong, after thinking about it for a while, said: "General, there is a way to do it, but it is a bit risky......

"As long as you can get them out of town, it's okay to take a risk. I only left the Shandong army here, and I was already taking a big risk. Sun Tu immediately became interested and hurriedly said.

"The general can order the army to stop the siege of the city, and then make a posture that the army will also be withdrawn......" Wu Yong quickly gave his idea, and many people frowned when he heard it.

It's a really bad idea, and it's even a bit sinister. But Sun Tu nodded after groaning: "Now it seems that this method is the only one that can be used." Do as you say, if they don't leave the city again, then retreat some distance and wait for the battle in the rear to end before continuing to attack the city! ”
