On the surface, this change seems to be only aimed at Chao Gai but has little to do with Sun Tu, and he doesn't need to pay for it, he has helped Chao Gai a lot before, so naturally he doesn't have to risk the consequences of offending Liu Zhixian to come forward at this time. But only Sun Tu himself knows that there is a deeper hidden danger behind it - Liu Yuan.

Once Liu Yuan is relieved from this robbery, he may not have much to do with Song Jiang and Chao Gai, but it will be easy to attack Sun Tu and Yu Dayong. This is the sorrow of the little people, once you offend someone who is more powerful and powerful than yourself, you will be like a pawn who has crossed the river and cannot turn back. Moreover, Sun Tu still clearly remembered the cold eyes that Liu Yuan suddenly looked at him during the previous court trial, and he had already been regarded as a thorn in the side by the other party.

Therefore, Liu Yuan must not be allowed to get out of this robbery easily, thinking about this, Sun Tu immediately stood up, and hugged his fists at Suo Chao, who was talking to Song Jiang, and said: "In Xia Jiu Yang General Suo's name, you came at the right time this time, we are embarrassed by the robbery of Shengchengang!" ”

"Huh?" Suo Chao looked at the young man in front of him with some doubts, because he saw that he was just dressed as an ordinary person, but he was standing side by side with Song Jiang, he really couldn't guess his identity, so he said casually: "Your Excellency has heard of me?" ”

"General Suo is the most credible general under Liang Xianggong's account, brave and fearless in battle, and has the reputation of being a pioneer, how can you not know it?" Sun Tu said with his understanding of the characters of the Water Margin.

If there is no latter sentence, Suo Chao only thinks that Sun Tu is just a pat on the horse, it can be seen that the other party even called out his nickname in the army, and his face suddenly showed a look of surprise, but he said: "That's just that my colleagues look up to me, it's too reputation." Dare to ask your Excellency? What is so difficult about the case you just mentioned? The latter sentence is particularly solemn, because it is precisely for this reason that he came.

Liang Zhongshu was naturally annoyed when he knew that the birthday gang who had worked hard to collect and sent to Tokyo to congratulate his father-in-law on his father-in-law's birthday was robbed by thieves, and immediately ordered his most powerful general, Suo Chao, to lead 53 pro-army guards to Yuncheng County, where the accident occurred, in order to naturally put more pressure on the local government.

"On the way to the next grandson." Sun Tu did not reveal his identity as just an ordinary person, and immediately led the topic to the robbery: "In fact, under the investigation of Yin and Song Zhusi of Liu County in this county, the identity of the real culprit in this case has been discovered, and it is a group of strongmen in Hutou Village on Xishan Gang, more than ten miles west of the city. It's just because the gang of strong men is powerful, and the township soldiers in this county are not good at attacking the mountains, so they can't get back the stolen Shengchengang. ”

"Is that so?" When Suo Chao heard this, his face changed suddenly, and then his eyes fell on Song Jiang, wanting to hear his explanation. Song Jiang was still a little puzzled at first, but later he understood Sun Tu's intention to do this, and after only a little silence, he had to nod: "What San Lang said is true, and the lowly and county Yin are also worried about this." ”

"Hmph, you take me to see your county Yin, I have a few words to ask him!" Suo Chao showed annoyance on his face, and immediately walked towards the yamen. As soon as Sun Tu saw it, he was sure in his heart, knowing that the matter was done, he arched Suo Chao's anger with a few words.

A quick pioneer Suo Chao and a thunderbolt Qin Ming are the most impatient among the leaders of Liangshan. Now it seems that what is written in the book is really good, and he has only started up, and he has already provoked Suo Chao to go directly to Liu Zhixian for trouble, so that he can no longer use the method given by Liu Yuan.

Just as Suo Chao stepped over the high threshold and walked inside, several officials had hurriedly greeted him, the first was Liu Yaochen, the local magistrate, and the county lieutenant Shi Wenbin was followed. The conversation in front of the door has already been passed on, and after learning that the person who came was sent by Liang Zhongshu, Liu Zhixian naturally did not dare to slack off, and gave a salute from afar: "The general has worked hard from afar, please go to the second hall to serve tea and talk." ”

But Suo Chao didn't sell his account at all, and came to him in just a few steps, staring at Liu Zhixian domineeringly: "Yuncheng County, are you guilty?" ”

"Xiaguan ......" Liu Yaochen didn't know how to deal with it for a while. In fact, logically speaking, in the Great Song Dynasty, which emphasized literature over military force, even if he was only a small county commander of eight or nine grades, his status would not be lower than that of Suo Chao, an ordinary military attaché. However, the situation of the other party is the person who stayed behind in the Daimyo Mansion to guard Liang Zhongshu, and there is also the great god Cai Taishi behind it, let alone Liu Zhixian who dares to offend, so after some struggle, he can only give in: "The lower official is guilty, and it is the negligence of the lower official that makes the birth gang robbed." ”

Suo Chao snorted: "That's it, but since you have found out that the Birthday Gang was robbed by thieves, why don't you bring troops to suppress the bandits?" No matter how powerful the bandits in Hutou Village are, will they still be my opponents? ”

Liu Zhixian, who was only saying yes, almost jumped up after hearing this, why did this military attache already know the inside story of the robbery just after he arrived in the county, who told the secret? But Suo Chao didn't give him a chance to think about it at all, and took another step forward, looking down at Liu Zhixian, who was a head shorter than himself, condescendingly: "Liu Zhixian, if you Yuncheng County can't do anything, you will transfer troops to Jeju Mansion, if even the soldiers and horses of Jeju Mansion can't help that gang of thieves, I can also ask for troops from the Daimyo Mansion and even Kaifeng Mansion." You just give me a letter, can you take down this gang of thieves? ”

Suo Chao deserves to be a quick-tempered person, and he threw a question on Liu Zhixian's face straight away, so that he didn't even have the slightest room to turn around. Just asking for reinforcements from the Jeju government already made him very worried, not to mention stabbing the matter to the imperial court, then his future would be completely over. This made Liu Zhixian subconsciously shout: "Don't ...... I mean no, in fact, there is still a way in this county to capture the tiger head village, arrest Du Hu and other prisoners, and recapture the birth gang! At this time, even if it is difficult, he can only deal with the matter first.

"Is that true?" Suo Chao was a little unconvinced.

At this time, Song Jiangcai stepped forward and said, "General Suo, but please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to assist the county Yin to arrest that gang of bandits as soon as possible." Moreover, aren't there still General Suo and a group of border elites in my county now? With you here, why can't you attack a small cottage? ”

Song Jiang's face still has to be sold, so Suo Chao softened his face: "It's best if it can really be so natural." Liu Zhixian, this matter will be handed over to you, and you must take down that Hutou Village within three days. ”

Liu Zhixian was even more bitter when he heard it, he had been here for six years and he had no way to take the tiger head village, but this one was going to break through the cottage within three days, how could this be possible. But at this time, he didn't dare to argue with him anymore, so he could only vaguely answer first, thinking that he would discuss it with him later.

Song Jiang also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and hurriedly said: "General Suo must be in a difficult situation when he comes from the Daimyo's Mansion, so I invite you to rest in the pavilion for one night today, and it is not too late to send troops to break the thieves tomorrow." ”

"Yes, yes, Song Zhusi, this matter will be left to you, and General Suo and them must be rested." Liu Yaochen also saw the difference in Suo Chao's attitude towards Song Jiang, so he pushed the boat down the river, and at the same time gave his subordinates a look. Song Jiang hurriedly agreed, and then invited Suo Chao and them to go to the pavilion on the side.

It was only at this time that Liu Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief, and the pressure Suo Chao gave him was too great. But he only exhaled half of his breath, and choked again, because now there was another difficulty. The strategy that had been set up with great difficulty before was completely destroyed by Suo Chao's arrival in a blink of an eye, and now it seems that there is only one way left to attack Hutou Village. But is Hutou Village so easy to attack?

Just when Liu Zhixian was deeply embarrassed, Liu Yuan, whose face was full of dark clouds, also walked over. After such a fuss, his plans were all destroyed, and he was afraid that it would still be difficult for him to get out. Just now, when Liu Zhixian was dealing with Suo Chao, he called the officer who was guarding the door to inquire in detail, and then he realized that it was the young man named Sun Tu who had ruined his good deeds, which made him hateful.

However, at this time, he didn't plan to make a move himself, but thought of borrowing a knife to kill people, so he came to Liu Yaochen's side, and whispered what Sun Tu said to Suo Chao outside the county office. ”

"County Yin can't, since Sun Tu can talk to Suo Chao, he will naturally remember it, and taking him down at this time will only have more branches." Liu Yuan hurriedly dissuaded.

"How's that to be?"

"I think I can ...... like this" Liu Yuan stepped forward and told him his plan, and Liu Yaochen nodded again and again.
