After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the summer has disappeared early, and the cool autumn has arrived. Especially at night, the autumn nights are cooler like water.

After talking to Ya'er in the middle of the night, and tucking the quilt for her who had already fallen asleep, Sun Tu went out of the door lightly, and then saw Hu Rong waiting on the porch outside the door.

At this time, Hu Rong, who had just become a wife, was a little less heroic than in the past, but a little more soft, especially when she bit her lip lightly and swept over with her thin phoenix eyes, which made people's hearts flutter. Seeing Sun Tu coming out, Hu Rong hurriedly stepped forward: "Third brother, Ya'er, is she asleep?" Then you ...... tonight" Although the words are not finished, the meaning of the invitation is already obvious.

Sun Tu also moved his index finger, and immediately hugged the other party's waist, and walked into the bedroom not far away with Hu Rong with half a hug. Soon, there was a heart-warming gasp in the room, and it didn't stop for a long time.

It wasn't until after the third watch that the two stopped their movements, hugged each other and leaned together, Hu Rong even snuggled her entire delicate body into Sun Tu's arms, while drawing a circle on her Langjun's chest with her fingers, and whispered: "Third brother, have you really decided to leave for Jiangnan tomorrow?" Can you bring me with you? ”

Sun Tu kissed her forehead gently, and then said softly: "August is coming to an end, and the time is no longer delayed, so I will leave early tomorrow morning." Now that Ya'er is in such a situation, I really don't worry about leaving her alone at home, so Rong'er still asks you to stay here and take care of her. ”

Hu Rong showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes, but soon nodded with a smile: "Since the third brother has made a decision, I naturally want to listen to you." With me taking care of Ya'er at home, you can rest assured. ”

"It's good to have you." Sun Tu sighed heartily. But before he could sigh again, Hu Rong, who had been unable to move like soft mud before, suddenly turned over and pressed on his body again, and said delicately: "Then third brother, you love me again, and I will be like Ya'er, pregnant with your flesh and blood......"

Well, once she learned that she couldn't accompany Lang Jun to Jiangnan together, she simply wanted to squeeze people dry. The beauty is gracious, Sun Tu is naturally more effective, and when he reaches out to hug her, a storm rises again......

At dawn, Sun Tu still woke up on time, and Hu Rong forced his sore body from a night of madness to put on clothes for him, and put on a treasure knife given by the court. After carefully taking a closer look at his own Langjun's heroic outfit, Hu Rong was very reluctant to step forward and kiss again, and then opened the door with him and walked outside.

Outside the door, the pot-bellied Ya'er was already standing in front of the porch accompanied by the maid, as soon as she saw her, Hu Rong's pretty face turned red, and she felt cramped after stealing something and being caught by the master's family, so she could only call in a low voice: "Ya'er, why did you get up so early?" "Yesterday, I said that Sun Tu was going to accompany her, but I turned out to have Lang Jun kidnapped into his room.

Ya'er pursed her lips and smiled: "The third brother is going to go on the expedition again, and I don't know when I will be able to come back this time, so I naturally want to send him off." ”

"Huh? Did you already know this? Hu Rong said with a look of surprise. In fact, in order not to worry Ya'er, Sun Tu concealed that he was about to go south to Jiangnan, but he didn't want to be able to hide this pillow person after all.

Ya'er slowly came to Sun Tu and looked up at him: "Third brother, I know that you are for the good of my child, but I am your wife after all, why do you hide it from me in this kind of thing?" ”

"Ya'er is my ...... wrong" Sun Tu gently hugged her, "In this case, you must be good at home during this time, you must take care of your body, don't think too much." When I return triumphantly, I will see you and our children again. ”

"Hmm...... Sister Ya'er and Sister Rong will be waiting for you at home. Ya'er said, leaning her head lightly on Sun Tu's arms, and after a long time, she moved away, then turned around slightly, and said, "Third brother, walk slowly......"

Sun Tu heard her nasal voice become extremely heavy, and knew that she must have burst into tears at this time, but he still hardened his heart, and after taking a deep breath, he strode out. Because he was very worried that once he really comforted Ya'er, he would have the idea of not wanting to leave in distress and soft-hearted-Gentle Township is a hero's mound, and this is not just talking.

This time, even Hu Rong's eyes were already red, and she didn't accompany Sun Tu out of the house together, but only sent him to the back house in front of the weeping flower door, and then stopped: "Third brother, you want to return safely and triumphantly." ”

"I will, you wait for me!" After Sun Tu said this, he strode forward without looking back, and after getting on the horse, he quickly galloped away from his home. Leaving only two wives and a courtyard of servants to watch him disappear at the end of the long street......

On this morning, the city of Qingzhou was full of farewell words and tears, and thousands of local soldiers in Qingzhou were about to leave their hometowns and embark on the road to the south, which was an inseparable love for every family. Because this time, they are not in Shandong to conquer the mountain bandits, but will go to the distant south of the Yangtze River to fight with the real anti-thief army, this time, as short as a year, as long as several years, no one knows whether their husbands and sons can return safely.

So, at this time, at the streets and alleys of Qingzhou, you can always see sad scenes, one by one wives tearfully bid farewell to their husbands, and a couple whispered to their elderly parents to their sons to send them out of the door, and then when they turned around, they wept again.

The chariots, the horses, and the pedestrians, bows and arrows, are all at the waist. Ye Niang's wife went to see each other, and the dust did not see Xianyang Bridge.

The people were reluctant, but the people of Qingzhou did not stop their men from following Sun Tu to Jiangnan, because they believed in Sun Tu and knew that he would inevitably lead everyone to victory after victory, and bring the soldiers under his command back to Qingzhou safely.

It took a long time to say goodbye, and it was not until the middle of the day that nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses gathered in the school field of the military camp, waiting for Sun Tu's lecture and waiting for his final order to set off.

Sun Tu soon appeared in front of everyone, and at this time, he had an extra trumpet-shaped thing in his hand that looked a little weird. Without too much delay, he brought it to his lips, and immediately a loud voice that could be heard clearly by almost every soldier present spread out from the loudspeaker:

"I, the soldiers of Shandong, today my Sun Tu will lead everyone out of the land of Qilu and go to Jiangnan to beg for thieves! Some people may be puzzled, obviously all the thieves in our Shandong have been leveled, why should we travel thousands of miles for the sake of thieves elsewhere and risk killing the enemy? Then I will tell you, since the founding of the Song Dynasty in the past hundred years, I have been facing strong enemies all the time, and now the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River is just a strong enemy we will face, and in the future I will take you to fight with the Jurchens and the Khitans, and wipe out the strong enemies that endanger the safety of our Han people one by one. And all this will start this southern expedition. You tell me aloud that my army of a hundred battles is likely to win this southern expedition? ”

Suddenly, some of the soldiers below shouted loudly: "Our army will win!" Then the cry spread, and thousands of soldiers shouted: "Victory! Win! The voice reached the sky and spread to all directions, so that the spirit of the people of Qingzhou, who were full of sorrow and farewell, was also lifted. At some point, there were also bursts of shouts of "victory" all over the city, which echoed the military camp from afar, so that the morale of the entire army was raised again, and there was no longer the worry and panic of the previous separation.

"Good! What I want is your spirit, even if the anti-thief is powerful, but I believe that with the prestige of my Shandong army, I will be able to calm down the rebellious army and return me to a bright and prosperous south of the Yangtze River! Sun Tu shouted with satisfaction: "The whole army listens to the order and sets off!" ”

"Whoa!" 20,000 soldiers responded in unison, and then according to the sequence of each battalion and each team, under the leadership of their respective generals, lined up in a neat and uniform line, slowly walked out of the barracks, along the familiar long street, under the eyes of the people on both sides, walked to the city gate, and walked out of the Qingzhou City they had guarded for several years.

This time, Sun Tu brought out all the elite soldiers and strong generals under his command, the scout battalion, the trapping camp, the pioneer battalion, and the newly built cavalry battalion...... Each battalion was led by a general who had been in battle for a long time. Lin Chong, Wu Song, Dong Ping, Shi Qian, Yang Zhi...... These loyal subordinates who followed him for the longest time entered their camps, and as for Song Jiang and other newly surrendered people, they were all included in the Chinese army camp, under the unified command of Sun Tu, the lord of the three armies, and in terms of logistics, there were Zhu Wu, Qi Desheng and other veteran people to take care of them.

Especially when Sun Tu brought the cavalry battalion of 300 people, which had been secretly cultivated and trained for a long time, the combat effectiveness of the entire Shandong army rolled up. In this era of the general shortage of horses in the Great Song Dynasty, no one of the van troops could come up with an elite cavalry of hundreds of people, and this cavalry team was also named the tiger and leopard cavalry by him, and the general led by him was the former head of the 800,000 forbidden army, and Lin Chong, the head of the leopard who was unparalleled in Qingzhou City.

Of course, in addition to this cavalry team, Sun Tu also left one of the most mysterious men and horses in the Chinese army, unless he encounters a real strong enemy, he will always hold this hole card in his hand, because this team uses firearms that have never been seen in this era!

Only the women's army with the lowest combat power, as well as some of the men and horses who had not recovered from their previous injuries, were left behind in Qingzhou. And sitting in Qingzhou and cooperating with Huang Wenbing to defend the local area, it was Han Tao, the Yum general who was entrusted with the important task by Sun Tu!

Everything was arranged according to Sun Tu's wishes, and he believed that this southern expedition would be able to achieve final victory.

But what he didn't know was that this farewell to Qingzhou was almost goodbye......
