For Yue Fei, who turned the tide in history, became the first person in the army at the turn of the two Song Dynasty, and was famous for thousands of years, Sun Tu still attaches great importance to it, which is not only reflected in the fact that he has always taken him with him, so that he can have more contact with important tasks such as training and using soldiers, but also in the fact that it is enough to give Yue Fei the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Whether it was asking Yue Fei to go to Bajiao Town to rescue the troops before, or sending him to contact the rebels hiding on Qixia Mountain this time, trying to persuade them to surrender, it was a sign that Sun Tu had great trust in his ability and was willing to cultivate well.

However, after all, Yue Fei is still young now, and Sun Tu's expectations for him are not too great, so he will let Wu Song and Luda, who are better at communicating with those suffering people, go with him, which can not only ensure Yue Fei's safety, but also play a double insurance effect and achieve the goal.

But judging from the results, Sun Tu still underestimated Yue Fei's talent after all, especially his eloquence. Because of the influence of some evaluations of Yue Fei in later generations, Sun Tu fixed his opinion of this junior brother in his mind, feeling that he was a martial artist who was quick to act and clumsy in words, but in fact this was obviously a misunderstanding, in terms of eloquence, he was actually not below those literati!

On the night two days after sending them to Qixia in secret, Yue Fei and the three of them had returned safely, and they also brought back two burly men with depressed faces, who were the leaders of the hundreds of chaotic people, Zhou Xuan and Zhou Chi brothers. When the identities of these two people were revealed, even Sun Tu couldn't help but look at Yue Fei who was standing quietly below in surprise, and there was more praise in his eyes: "Did you talk about everything on the mountain?" ”

Before Yue Fei could speak, Lu Da had already laughed and said: "You really said that you are right, this time the Sprinkle family and Erlang didn't do anything at all, they only accompanied Pengju to go around the mountain, so the credit is all his." It is up to him to find people on that Qixia Mountain, which is really admirable. ”

Wu Song also nodded: "Yes, this is all the credit of Brother Yue, I don't dare to be greedy." ”

"The two brothers are too modest, if you don't have your support for me, Yue Fei wouldn't be able to finish the errand, so if you talk about merit, everyone is the same." Yue Fei hurriedly said modestly.

Sun Tu waved his hand: "Everyone naturally has a share in the credit, but Pengju can't run your first merit." By the way, how did you convince them to come down the mountain? As he spoke, he glanced at the Zhou brothers standing a little farther away, and the fact that these two people were willing to go down the mountain like this proved that they really believed that they could make decisions for them.

"In fact, it's still because you're famous enough, and the humble position is just to make their situation clear, if they continue to resist stubbornly, even if they hide on Qixia Mountain, they will not escape the end of the whole army." Yue Fei smiled in a low-key manner.

He was saying it lightly, but it wasn't that easy to deal with. At that time, they were surrounded by hundreds of chaotic people, and the slightest disagreement might be a big war. But even in this case, the young Yue Fei was not the slightest timid, and persuaded those rebellious people according to reason: "I know that you are all forced to kill the official and then flee to the mountain to become a rebellious people." But have you ever thought about it, can this be a long-term solution? Now that the Jinling area has been annexed by tens of thousands, once the government is really determined to exterminate you and others, can you really protect yourself with this Qixia Mountain? "Even then? Ever since we waited for the killer to escape, we have put life and death aside! ”

"What about your relatives and friends? Have you thought about them? But I've heard that because of your involvement, hundreds of people are still in prison and don't see the light of day, so can you bear to let them die with you? And what will be left of your death? Is the identity of a rebel something you can see after you die? Haven't you thought about clearing your name? Now that Sun Chan has the heart to help you, please also believe that we can give you justice! ”

Maybe Yue Fei's words reached everyone's hearts, or he was born with a convincing temperament, anyway, after some analysis, after a period of persuasion, these chaotic people on the mountain were finally moved, and then the two brothers of the Zhou family volunteered to follow him down the mountain to see Sun Tu.

Sun Tu carefully looked at the two of them for a while before he said, "You were also in the army before, right?" ”

These words made the two of them stunned for a moment, and soon they both nodded and admitted: "Yes, our brother was originally a general in the Jinling Xiang Army, but it was only because of that Zhu Mian and others who went against the grain and killed innocent people that they killed some of his lackeys in a fit of anger and fled up the mountain." ”

"Huh? What the hell is going on, you can tell me carefully. Sun Tu really didn't know the root cause of this civil unrest, but he was interested at this time.

When the two of them saw him ask such a question, they believed it a little more in their hearts. After glancing at each other, Zhou Xuan said: "It was more than a month ago, and Zhu Mian had completely mastered Jinling City, so he began to loot money on a large scale. It's a shame to say that at that time, our brothers were also ordered to do some unsightly things......

"Perhaps this is the result of retribution, and then someone actually reported to the government that there was a strange stone in my yard, which was a rare gem in the city. Heaven and earth can be seen, although the stone is not small, but it is only a stubborn stone, my Zhou family in Jinling three generations, all only regard it as an obstacle in the yard, but it is deeply rooted, so it can not be moved, but I don't want to become a gem now. Then, the government sent someone to the door, and we had to pay for the stones, and as soon as we opened our mouths, it was two hundred yuan......"

Sun Tu frowned when he heard this, he had not only heard a lot of such things since he came to Jiangnan, but also seen a lot. This has almost become a common excuse for people in the government to accumulate wealth and harm the people, often extorting money on the grounds that they need to transport stones to the capital. And that's not all, when it came time to move the stones, they would tear down the houses and courtyard walls of the people on the pretext that the stones were too big and could not be damaged in the slightest, and if they wanted to keep all this, they had to continue to pay bribes until they had hollowed out a good person.

And the brothers of the Zhou family naturally didn't have so much money to satisfy those guys, and they were unwilling to let their ancestors' house be destroyed, so they clashed with these people in the government: "My brother didn't have the courage to really do anything with them, but at that time, our mother was actually pushed down when she stepped forward to reason with them, and it was ...... ...... in this regard"

Only then did Sun Tu understand: "You two are because your mother was killed by them, so you killed those government officials in a fit of anger?" ”

"Not bad." Zhou Xuan straightened his waist and said, "Although my brother hasn't read much, he also knows that the revenge of killing his mother can't be avenged, so he immediately killed all the dozen dogs." It just so happened that there were still Bao Shao villagers around who were also ruined by Zhu Mian, and they all had a blood feud, so we simply got together, and after grabbing some weapons and food, we fled to Qixia Mountain first, in order to find an opportunity to kill Zhu Mian again to avenge the big revenge! ”

"Sun Chan, our brother has heard of your name before, and knows that you are a good official who can speak for the people and soldiers, so he is willing to venture down the mountain to meet you. If you can really do justice for our fellow villagers and get rid of those harmful dogs, what if we give you our lives? Zhou Chi also said, looking at Sun Tu fearlessly.

Obviously, Yue Fei's previous statement was really not humble, and a large part of the reason why the two brothers would go down the mountain was out of respect and trust for Sun Tu. Even Sun Tu himself didn't expect that his reputation would be so great that the soldiers here in Jinling would unconditionally believe that he could seek justice for them.

This made him suddenly feel that his responsibility was heavier, and it also made his expression solemn: "Is what you said true?" ”

"It's true, if there is a lie, my brother will not die well!"

"Is it possible for you, then, to be fearless for the sake of justice? Even if you are asked to go to Bianjing City and explain this matter in front of the Manchu monarchs and ministers? Sun Tu asked again.

"What's so hard about that? Our brothers don't even want their lives, what else can they be afraid of? ”

"Good! Let me ask you one last thing, will you believe me? Are there any other people who can fully trust my Sun Tu? ”

This question made the two of them slightly stunned, but soon, they both said with a straight face: "We can do our best to convince the villagers." In fact, you also have a great reputation in Jinling, as long as you can make a guarantee, we will not doubt it. ”

"If that is the case, I hope you will go back and bring down the folks from the mountains secretly, and then I will send someone to take you and hide them in the army. As for the next things, I'll make another arrangement. But one thing I can guarantee is that as long as you are willing to believe in me to go down the mountain, my grandson will definitely be able to guarantee your safety! ”

Sun Tu's request made the Zhou brothers stunned again, the risk of leading everyone down the mountain is really not small, once Sun Tu deceives them, and they leave Qixia Mountain, which has complex terrain, there is probably only one end.

But after looking at Sun Tu's solemn eyes, and thinking of his good reputation among the people, the two of them were a little moved. Because they also know that staying in the mountains all the time is tantamount to drinking to quench their thirst, and it will not end well. Moreover, after these days of consumption, the food they had brought to the mountains was almost exhausted. If it continues like this, it will be difficult for these hundreds of people to survive in the mountains.

After some weighing, they finally gritted their teeth: "We are willing to trust Sun Chan, but we also have to go back and discuss with the villagers before making a decision." ”

"Yes, you can go back. But I also have a word to remind you that time is pressing, and I will only give you three days at most. If you refuse to go down the mountain after three days, then you can only be dealt with as a chaotic people, and I will lead the army to attack Qixia! ”
