Chapter 861: That's it
There is no impermeable wall under this sky.
Even though Gao Yu had told Fan Lou afterwards to keep the secret of what happened in this courtyard tonight, the next day, the conflict here still spread out in Tokyo officialdom on a small scale. After all, this matter is not a small matter, and Sun Tu does not have the slightest intention of avoiding people when he takes people in and out, so it is naturally easy for someone to hear about it.
However, those who knew about this matter were also silent and did not make any publicity. After all, this involves Gao Taiwei and the crown prince, and if one does not offend them, the consequences are really difficult to say.
This made Di Huchen's brothers learn about the incident a little delayed, and they didn't hear about it until the third day, which made Di Huchen feel even more guilty, and without much hesitation, he came to the door again and went to make amends with Sun Tu.
It's just that the time when he came to the door to make amends was a little unfortunate, it happened to be the day when Tang Feng and others led the troops to pacify the bandits in Gyeonggi and returned triumphantly, so Sun Tu went to the military camp earlier, which actually made him pounce. In order to show his sincerity, he simply waited at the house and waited for Sun Tu to return.
Tang Feng's triumphant return was a rare good news for Sun Tu during this period of time, which also lifted his spirits suddenly. Especially after seeing that the entire spirit of the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army who had experienced the baptism of war had been improved, he felt even more happy: "Okay, it can be seen that you have all grown up a lot of thieves this time." β
"It's because the general teaches well on weekdays, and those seniors of the Shandong Army give careful advice, so that the lowly rank will not have any problems in the battle with those bandits and bandits." At that moment, some officers said sincerely, and when they looked at Tang Feng and the others at this time, their eyes were full of reverence.
To be honest, they really didn't have much idea in the past, and they felt that as a forbidden army, they had been training hard for many days, and it was naturally a matter of being able to capture the bandits. However, it was not until they actually went to the battlefield and fought with those fierce bandits that these forbidden soldiers knew that there was a huge gap between the paper and the actual battle.
In the first few battles, if it weren't for the veterans of the Shandong Army pressing the formation on the flank, I am afraid that half of these thousands of forbidden troops would have to be folded in them. It is precisely through these difficult and dangerous battles that the entire Tiger Army has finally formed a strong cohesion with the veterans of the Shandong Army as the core, and the whole army shares weal and woe and works with one heart and one mind.
This is the soul of the army that could not be cultivated after several months of hard training. It was not until this moment that this tiger army, which had been despised and despised by others in the past, truly became an army with the power to fight. Of course, they still have too much to go before they become elite heroes who can satisfy Sun Tu. You must know that the Shandong Army and the Qingzhou Army have all grown up by relying on difficult battles.
The only pity is that after eliminating several bandits one after another this time, Gyeonggi can no longer find an opponent. Otherwise, with the current state of the Tiger Ben Army's unity, prohibition and high morale, there will be a few more major battles, and in addition to a big victory, the combat power will be improved again.
However, Sun Tu was still quite satisfied with this result: "You have indeed done a good enough job to pacify the bandits at the cost of only one hundred and twenty-three people killed, sixty-five seriously injured, and more than three hundred lightly injured." In two days, Benhou will ask the front secretary of the palace for your merits, whether it is a reward or a pension, you must be indispensable. β
These words naturally drew a burst of cheers from all the subordinates, and as Sun Tu waved his hand, they each disbanded. These soldiers had been away from Beijing for many days, and they had returned from the battle, and it was impossible for Sun Tu to train them anymore in recent days, so he ordered them to go home and return to the barracks on the first day of the lunar month.
It wasn't until everyone dispersed that Tang Feng stepped forward and said with concern: "General, are things going well in the capital?" β
"The battle to level the Sanssouci Cave was naturally extremely smooth, and after only half a month, they were swept away in one battle. It's just that the follow-up is a lot more complicated than I thought. Sun Tu frowned slightly and said, in front of a cronie like Tang Feng, he had nothing to hide.
And after listening to his brief explanation, Tang Feng felt indignant: "I know that those officials don't have any good things!" Officials protect each other, and the exchange of interests has long become a habit in their bones! General, this matter can't be left like this, especially that Gao Duo, he deserves to die, if he is allowed to get away, I'm afraid that Zhou Lao and they will not be able to die! β
After a pause, he asked again: "General, if you can trust me, let me bring someone to snatch things out." Now all the brothers of our Tiger Army obey the order, as long as you give an order, you will definitely be the first, and there will be no two words. β
Sun Tu immediately vetoed his proposal: "Don't talk about this anymore, especially don't encourage the brothers below." They finally got some success, but I can't ruin everyone's future because of a little personal matter. β
"But General, we can't just swallow this breath, can we? If you don't avenge such a big revenge, how can you stand up for it, general? The Tiger Ben Army was originally pulled by you, and your business is the business of my whole army. β
"You are wrong, public is public and private is private, and the two must not be confused. If there really is something big going on in the future that will need them, I will not hesitate. But this time, it's all just a private matter, and I already have a countermeasure, so you don't have to mention it again. Now you can stay in the army with peace of mind, help me take care of the Tiger Army, train into a real elite, and I will handle everything else freely. β
Seeing that Sun Tu said solemnly, Tang Feng didn't dare to insist anymore, so he could only respond to the order. But looking at his expression, he was still worried about this matter.
After spending most of the day in the barracks and condolences to the wounded soldiers, Sun Tu did not return home until dusk. Then he learned that Di Huchen had been waiting in the house for a long time, he only smiled faintly, and came to the living room to see his second uncle.
Di Huchen, who had been waiting for most of the day, did not have the slightest impatience at this time, and saw that Sun Tu still had a kind smile on his face: "San Lang, you are really dedicated to the public, but it makes Brother Wei a little embarrassed." β
"The second brother laughed, isn't this the triumphant return of those brothers who went out on the expedition, I, the commander of the Tiger Army, always have to go to condole. By the way, in two days, I plan to ask for credit for them, and I also ask the second brother to help you in front of the palace. Sun Tu smiled and invited the other party to sit down.
"Of course...... Di Huchen first nodded subconsciously in agreement, and then reacted to what the other party said, and suddenly became a little nervous: "The people of the Tiger Ben Army are all back?" San Lang, there is a sentence I said, don't be surprised, this is at the foot of the Bianliang Emperor in Tokyo after all, you must not do something that will implicate countless people because of a momentary mood. β
Sun Tu glanced at him and said with a smile: "It seems that the second brother already knows about Fan Lou, and you also came to see me for this, right?" β
Di Huchen smiled bitterly: "After all, I can't hide it from San Lang, yes, I came for this." It's a shame to say that I have reached an agreement with you before, but unexpectedly, such a change occurred. In fact, I also persuaded the prince earlier that cooperating with Gao Yu is to seek skin with the tiger, but the prince and others refused to listen at all, and I couldn't do anything. Moreover, because the plan we set up that day was not realized, a few days ago, the person's physical evidence had been taken away by others. As he spoke, he glanced at Sun Tu with a little weakness, for fear that the other party would be angry again because of this.
But as a result, Sun Tu seemed quite calm, and even had a smile on his face: "I guessed this a long time ago, otherwise those people wouldn't dare to meet and negotiate with Gao Yu." Now that the two sides have reached a consensus, it will be even more difficult to get back the human and physical evidence. β
Di Huchen nodded helplessly: "San Lang, so far, I thought it would be better for you to accept this fact for the time being." As the saying goes, there are nine times out of ten that things are unsatisfactory in the world, you can also see it, don't do stupid things again. Otherwise, not only you, but Ya'er, and the tiger head will also be implicated.
"Actually, I have wanted to persuade you for a long time, I know that you are bent on thinking about the court, and even do not hesitate to take many risks for this. In the past, this was the case in Shandong and Jiangnan, and this time I tried every means to suppress the bandits in Sanssouci Cave. But have you ever thought about it, although your drastic practices have made you famous and made a lot of contributions, but at the same time, you have also made enemies in many ways. In the final analysis, you are just a courtier after all, or a general, sometimes it is better to do less than to do more. β
Di Huchen's words were indeed from the bottom of his heart, and they were also the greatest concern and reminder to Sun Tu. Indeed, judging from the experiences of several generations of his Di family, the military general should indeed not be too sharp in the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise the end will be bleak, and he doesn't want to watch Sun Tu embark on this road of no return.
"I understand the second brother's intentions, don't worry, I am also a family person, and I won't come nonsense." Sun Tu nodded and replied, "As for what you are worried about, I will go and retrieve those physical witnesses, it is even more impossible." This time, I have already seen that now the officials in the court are protecting each other and colluding, even if I really get the evidence again and sue it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to move that Gao Duo in the slightest. Why, then, should I take such a risk? β
Di Huchen smiled bitterly, his brother-in-law really didn't spare any affection, and directly told the shortcomings of the DPRK and China. But he didn't mean to argue with those people, he just said, "It's good that you understand this." You have finally put down all the bandits who have been in trouble for many years, and Zhou Xiong will not die soon, so you can be regarded as able to give an explanation to those who died, so this matter will end here. β
Sun Tu immediately nodded happily: "What the second brother said is, let's stop here." β
Seeing his reaction, Di Huchen was both happy and worried. Happy, Sun Tu still listened to his words, but the worry was somehow, he always felt that Sun Tu still seemed to have some ideas that he hadn't really expressed.
