Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 176 You, you, are braver than the sky!
Han Tianlin!
Su Wu turned his gaze and scanned up and down with squinted eyes, and saw Han Tianlin standing in front of him, glaring at him Su Wu angrily, as if as long as Tan Zhen gave the order, this guy would immediately rush forward to fight him Su Wu to the death.

Tan Zhen was still shouting excitedly: "Take it down, take it down! Someone, take the cane down quickly!"

The situation became a little chaotic for a while. Liu Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Tan, calm down, calm down, it's General Su who has never seen the world..."

Liu Yanqing quickly turned to Su Wu and said, "General Su, come and speak to Prime Minister Tan!"

However, Tan Zhen no longer cared about Liu Yanqing. He was worried that he could not find an opportunity. If Su Wu had not been so contemptuous of his superiors, it would have been difficult to use hard means. Now that this was the case, he should be given a good beating to relieve the hatred in his heart for the past few days!

Sir, if you, the governor of Liangzhe Road, get the evidence to beat a soldier to death, wouldn't it be easy to do so in the Song Dynasty?

Seeing a few armored men coming in from outside the tent, Tan Zhen immediately pointed at Su Wu and said, "That's the guy! Take him away!"

It happened in a flash. Suddenly, a cold light flashed. Before anyone could react, there was a clang. Liu Yanqing immediately turned around to look!
In an instant, Liu Yanqing was stunned and terrified!
After the cold light, there was a flash of blood. It was Su Wu!

Su Wu drew his sword and rushed forward. Han Tianlin subconsciously raised his hand to wave in the air, but as soon as his hand waved, his terrified eyes flew out of his shoulders along with a head...

As the head flew away, hot blood gushed out from the middle of the shoulders and rushed straight to the ceiling of the tent, which showed how high the person's blood pressure was.

At this moment, everyone was stunned, their eyes were full of disbelief and disbelief!

The few armored soldiers who rushed in were really going to beat the man with a stick, but now they were stunned on the spot!

Just look at the hot blood gushing out and spilling from the sky, staining countless people, and Su Wu's body is also covered in blood.

The head fell to the ground, and Su Wu leaned down, picked up the head in his hand, and said loudly: "Han Tianlin, the military commander of Tangzhou in the west of the capital, privately robbed the money and food of the imperial army. This is considered treason and he shall be executed on the spot!"

As soon as Su Wu finished shouting, he looked around and saw his face covered in blood!
Tan Zhen finally reacted and pointed at Su Wu again: "Be brave, let go..."

It was Su Wu who was holding a knife in his right hand and a human head in his left hand. He turned around and looked at Tan Zhen. There was fear in Tan Zhen's eyes and he took a step back unconsciously. He said one and a half of two words and then stopped abruptly.

Obviously, Tan Zhen had never seen such a killing before. Not to mention fighting in a battlefield, what did he think he was fighting for? What kind of person could come out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood?

He thought that the room was full of people, so Su Wu wouldn't dare to do anything.

Did he think that in the Song Dynasty, a rebel soldier would be someone who could be manipulated at will?

Look at the whole audience again, who is speaking?
No!

However, Xin Xingzong stood up and asked, "Su Wu, how dare you do this? Do you think we are afraid of you?"

Su Wu turned around again, not very fast, and slowly turned to look at Xin Xingzong: "You are just wagging your tail to beg for mercy, and you dare to bark like that!"

Among the crowd, Xin Xingzong was the only one who was really courageous. He stepped forward and said, "Su Wu, have you ever thought about the consequences of killing someone here?"

"Consequences?" Su Wu looked around and said, "Come on, all of you, and see how I fight my way out of here!"

As soon as Su Wu said this, he looked behind him and saw Lu Da and Wu Song also drawing their swords, holding them tightly and holding them in front of them!

Wu Song rushed to Su Wu's side and said with a ferocious look: "Who's coming? I'll kill you all!"

Is Xin Xingzong coming?

Xin Xingzong also drew his sword subconsciously. Everyone was in the big tent, they only had swords on their waists and they were not wearing armor. They really didn't expect this to happen today.

Xin Xingzong drew his sword, glanced at Tan Zhen, and took a step forward. It seemed like a big step, but it also seemed like he was shrinking back and landing in a small step.

Even though he was looking around, there were quite a few people in the big tent, but no one drew their swords, and their eyes were vague.

Xin Xingzong is not coming!
Is Li Ming coming?
Su Wu was still looking around. He would either walk out slowly and openly, or fight his way out. There was absolutely no chance of him rushing out!

Li Ming did not meet Su Wu's gaze, nor did he come.

Is Zhou Xin coming?
There is no need to watch it anymore, and I won’t come again.

There are also Wang Yi, Wu Bingyi...

Su Wu actually knew all these people. When he and Gao Qiu were defeated in Liangshan, Su Wu's army protected the money and food in the camp, gave them travel expenses, and sent them home.

It's hard to say whether it's out of friendship or out of cowardice. All I can say is that at this moment, these people really are standing there motionless.

The few armored men who came in were stunned when they saw that the generals did not move.

Liu Yanqing was nervous when he saw Su Wu killing people. He felt that something bad was going to happen, but he suddenly calmed down and started to react. He said quickly, "Everyone, calm down. There must not be a fight in the army..."

The fire was not raging, and Xin Xingzong looked anxious. He went to see Tan Zhen again, asking himself what to do.
Tan Zhen was swallowing his saliva. He was obviously frightened. This blood-soaked Su Wu must be crazy. He must be crazy...

Su Wu glanced at Xin Xingzong again. He knew that Xin Xingzong was the only one who could be used in this big tent, so he asked again, "General Xin, do you want to fight with me?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Song immediately turned around and stood in front of Su Wu, facing Xin Xingzong. There was fire in his eyes, waiting for this guy to dare to say a word of fighting, and he would definitely go forward and kill him.

Lu Da naturally protected Su Wu behind him, with his back to Su Wu and looking at everyone.

Xin Xingzong replied: "Su Wu, if you act like this, no one will be able to protect you when you meet the officials in Tokyo!"

"Justice is in the heart of the people!" Su Wu said this, and then slowly sheathed his sword. He then wiped the blood off his face with his free right hand and said, "Let's go!"

As he spoke, Su Wu stepped out of the tent, followed by Lu Da and Wu Song. Everyone in the room remained motionless.

Liu Yanqing bowed quickly and said, "Mr. Tan, I am being rude this time. It's all because General Su is young. This matter should be reported to the Prime Minister for a decision..."

After bowing, Liu Yanqing hurried out of the tent.

Looking inside the tent, no one spoke. Xin Xingzong said, "Sir, you should order someone to arrest Yu Suwu!"

Tan Zhen seemed to suddenly realize something. His pale face trembled a few times and his voice trembled as he said, "Yes, yes, hurry up, give the order to arrest Su Wu!"

Xin Xingzong hurried out. Su Wu had already walked out twenty or thirty steps. He took one look at Su Wu's back and began to shout to both sides!

But he hesitated again. Looking from Su Wu's back, he could see a team of heavy cavalry, more than a thousand people, gathered at the entrance of the camp.

Others might not understand, but how could Xin Xingzong not understand? What was going on?
The camp gate was wide open, and the heavy cavalry came in at three or four hundred steps, so they must have arrived in an instant...

That would be a real fight in the army. As long as they shouted, Su Wu would not be killed and the Biao cavalry would surely rush in.

If the incident in the tent had not happened, Xin Xingzong would never believe that these cavalrymen would dare to attack his own army camp. But after the incident in the tent happened, Xin Xingzong would never believe that these cavalrymen would not dare to attack his own camp.

It was Su Wu. Before he came in, he must have decided to kill someone today and had made all the preparations.

How come there were such military generals in the Song Dynasty?

It's crazy!

How dare a military general do such a thing?
Obviously, it was not the general's doing! It was the prime minister's plan and intention!

Xin Xingzong hesitated and sighed. What should he do?

At this moment, everyone in the big tent behind Xin Xingzong came out.

Tan Zhen came out under the protection of the crowd and asked, "Why haven't you given the order yet?"

Xin Xingzong looked back, then hesitated and stepped forward to salute, but he hadn't said anything yet.

Tan Zhen was so excited that he kept shouting: "Catch this thief soldier quickly, quickly!"

With 80,000 soldiers in the camp, Su Wu had already gone a hundred steps away and could not rush back. How could Tan Zhen still be afraid at this time?
Finally, Xin Xingzong was able to speak: "Sir, if we arrest him, I'm afraid there will be a fight between the two armies..."

"What kind of fight?" Tan Zhen asked in surprise.

In fact, everyone saw that Su Wu came well prepared, but only Tan Zhen didn't understand.

Xin Xing replied, "Sir, from a distance, it seems that Su Wu came here to kill people. He prepared cavalry to charge the camp. If we gather our troops, we can just wait for the horses to charge and the camp gate to open. We can reach the center of the army in a moment! Why did Su Wu dare to do this?"

Tan Zhen was looking from a distance, so how could he not understand? He said, "Tong Guan, the old villain has bullied me too much!"

Even Tan Zhen looked at everyone, as if asking, do you dare to fight with the old villain?
Everyone looked at each other in astonishment. How could they fight like this? Not to mention how they would be held responsible in the future, Su Wu must have been instructed by Tong Guan to do so. When the cavalry rushed over, I'm afraid they hadn't even gathered their troops.

If they really fought, how could Tong Guan not have more backup plans? Could it be that the 80,000-strong northern army and the 70,000-strong southern army really had to fight outside the city of Hangzhou?

What should we do if the thieves rush out from Hangzhou city?

If others go crazy, we can't go crazy too, otherwise the situation will be out of control!
"You've bullied me too much, you've bullied me too much!" Tan Zhen paced and talked continuously.

Xin Xingzong said quickly: "Sir, calm down, calm down, calm down, this dispute is not here, it's only in Tokyo!"

Tan Zhen nodded immediately, shouting hysterically: "Yes, yes, yes, in Tokyo, in the government's house, grind ink and get paper and pen, I will write a memorial to Tokyo, I will sue the government in person, I will tell all the gentlemen, you old thief, old thief!"

The shout was so loud that Su Wu could hear it even from more than a hundred steps away. He turned around to take a look and smiled, "What a cowardly rat! How dare you come to lead the army in battle!"

Liu Yanqing could only smile bitterly. He only took one look at the group of people outside the village gate and knew that he had been fooled by Su Wu. He had really thought that Su Wu was coming to make a plea and apologize...

It turns out that Su Wu didn't have this idea from the beginning.

"Alas... General Su, you really scared an old man like me..." Liu Yanqing said helplessly.

Su Wu smiled and replied: "It's my fault, it's my fault... It's Manager Liu who should forgive me..."

"It's nothing serious on my part. This is not the intention of the Prime Minister..." Liu Yanqing said.

"Not necessarily..." Su Wu said so.

"Hmm?" Liu Yanqing was very surprised. As a veteran official, how could he not understand his superior's intention? He couldn't possibly misunderstand the Prime Minister's intention. The Prime Minister sent the two of them to make a big deal out of a small matter.

This time it’s good, the big thing has turned into a bigger thing.

Su Wu said, "Back then, he dared to disobey the emperor's order in front of the army. How come he has changed now? People can't change. He is just getting old, thinking more, worrying more, and enduring more. That's all."

People are like this. There are many things they want to do but they don't seem to dare to do them. If someone really helps them make the decision and do the work for them, they may not be too angry. Maybe they will even feel happy.

Su Wu grasped this mentality...

The reason why Tong Guan would be patient for a while was probably not only because he considered the court and the emperor, but also because he was afraid that he could not accomplish his goal. It was not easy to kill a general in an army of 80,000, and Tan Zhen would definitely protect him.

Tong Guan was also considering the overall situation. How could he defeat the enemy? If there was a conflict between the northern and southern armies, how could he suppress the bandits?
Su Wu did it and succeeded. It was easy. The man was killed and the matter was solved once and for all. It seemed that there was no internal strife.

What a win!
Is Tong Guan really unhappy deep down in his heart?
As for the essence of this matter, it is very simple. Han Tianlin secretly robbed the army's money and food. The only question is, is this the case?
If not, that's fine too. Let Tan Zhen be the envoy to the four routes and let Tong Guan be the governor of Liangzhe. Isn't that enough?
To be honest, is this matter really that big of a deal?

Just like in the capital, whether it’s the emperor, the prime minister, or even the prime minister Tong Guan, in the eyes of these people, what does it matter whether the killing of a fifth-rank military general is right or wrong?

If the war against bandits had been lost, Tong Guan's guilt would not be here, and the real reason and excuse for bringing down Tong Guan would not be this incident.

If a great victory was won, regardless of whether the matter was right or wrong, could Tong Guan be convicted for being a mere fifth-rank military general?
Even if I killed the wrong person, so what? The life and death of a fart doesn't mean that much!
Su Wu thought deeply about this matter. This is the political logic of the Song Dynasty and also the logic behind Su Wu's actions.

Liu Yanqing listened to Su Wu's words and was also thinking about this matter...

Su Wu continued, "General Manager Liu, just go back, hand over the head, and then go back to work!"

Liu Yanqing smiled bitterly: "You, you are braver than the sky!"

Su Wu also laughed: "I was able to rise from humble beginnings at such a young age because of my courage!"

"That's too big..." Liu Yanqing still smiled bitterly.

Su Wu said: "Isn't this all relying on the power of the prime minister?"

"That's true..." Liu Yanqing nodded. If it weren't for the Prime Minister, no matter how brave Su Wu was, he would not be able to do such a thing.

But he also said: "Enxiang is really old, Ziqing, the road ahead will be difficult..."

Finally, Liu Yanqing took advantage of his seniority and called himself "Ziqing" again.

Su Wu laughed heartily and said, "I am a soldier. I want everyone in the world to know, including the emperor and the prime minister. What kind of soldier am I? I am a soldier who is dedicated to one thing. Is it difficult to follow the path? For a soldier like me, who wouldn't envy the prime minister? Just ask Tan Zhen if he is envious?"

Su Wu expressed his own logic, which may not be correct, but it was also a response to Liu Yanqing's words.

Liu Yanqing also pondered after hearing this, perhaps it made sense.

A soldier like Su Wu is already famous throughout the world, whether for his good fighting skills or his loyalty. Perhaps one day... when En is truly dead of old age, those who come here may not necessarily come to harm him, but may also be there to recruit him.

These are also what Su Wu said. Who wouldn't want a soldier's loyalty like Su Wu?
This makes sense, but it's hard to explain...

Liu Yanqing shook his head and looked at Su Wu a few more times, then he really understood that this young man was really very smart.

They were already at the camp gate, and the cavalry were still in a tight formation, as if they were about to charge.

Liu Yanqing looked back and saw that the people in the central army tent in the distance had all dispersed...

Liu Yanqing shook his head and looked at Su Wu who was climbing onto the horse. He saw that Su Wu had already sat on the horse with ease and the head still in his hand.

Looking at it this way, I feel a little envious. How could there really be a soldier in the Song Dynasty who could live like this?
Life is short... Actually... It really makes people feel inexplicably happy when reading this!
If everything could be solved this way, with a disagreement, blood would splatter in the midst of thousands of troops...

Ugh……

Liu Yanqing also got on his horse and stopped thinking about it. His life was almost over.

Go with the rumble of horse hooves.

Look at the high walls of Hangzhou. This city has 200,000 or 300,000 thieves. It should be no problem for them to...

It just depends on how you get in!
Going back to the southern army camp, the cavalry entered the camp. Su Wu just raised his hand and waved, and the cavalry went back to the east of the east army camp first.

Only Su Wu and Liu Yanqing went to the central army tent.

In front of the tent, Su Wu dismounted from his horse, his body covered in blood and a fishy smell, and walked in with the head in one hand.

Just looking at Prime Minister Tong Shu, who was sitting in the middle, he was also stunned.

Looking at Su Wu again, he threw his hand forward and threw a head onto the ground. Su Wu said, "Prime Minister, Han Tianlin, the military commander of Tangzhou, secretly led his troops to rob the imperial army of money and food. I have already executed him on the spot. Here is the head. I came to report!"

Upon hearing this, Tong Guan slapped his forehead and his face looked ugly.

Liu Yanqing, who was standing aside, felt so nervous that he dared not even breathe.

Su Wu bowed and said, "I will go wash the blood off my body first!"

Tong Guan frowned and waved his hand gently: "You go by yourself..."

Su Wu bowed, turned around and left. His movements were really quick and decisive.

Liu Yanqing was still there, and he looked at En Xiang, and then he heard En Xiang ask: "What's going on?"

Liu Yanqing swallowed his saliva and stepped forward to explain...

Tong Guan then asked again: "Is that so?"

Liu Yanqing nodded: "Well, that's it..."

"This guy... this guy... ah..." Tong Guan sighed, not knowing whether he was angry or something else...

Then Tong Guan asked, "Is there really no one in the big tent who suddenly rose up?"

Liu Yanqing shook his head: "No."

"After leaving the tent, there will be no soldiers coming to arrest you?" Tong Guan asked again.

"No!" Liu Yanqing continued to shake his head.

"It's a strange thing!" Tong Guan was actually a little surprised, but he said: "Is this guy really planning to charge the camp with more than a thousand cavalrymen?"

Liu Yanqing did not answer, but he knew it was probably true. In fact, Tong Guan also knew it was definitely true. If they really wanted to arrest Su Wu, how could the cavalry not rush in?
Then Tong Guan said, "I don't know whether you are saying that this guy is smart or stupid."

Now that this question has been asked, how could Prime Minister En not know it?
On his way back, Liu Yanqing thought more about it and found that Su Wu's intelligence was truly unimaginable.

In this matter, perhaps Su Wu's method is the best.

If it was really Tong Guan who led people to question the crime, there would really be a confrontation. Tong Guan and Tan Zhen would confront each other, and many military generals would confront each other. Tan Zhen would even make preparations in advance, and there would be soldiers who would confront him as well. It would actually be a situation where it would be difficult to back down. The two commanders could not really start a fight face to face.

If this fails, then Su Wu will have to apologize, ease the situation, and slowly discuss the distribution of money and grain.

Su Wu actually thought of a third method, which was to go alone, take the enemy by surprise, kill the enemy and return.

I just want to ask, will anyone dare to intercept the money and food in the future?

All the money, face, and even emotions were lost.

Liu Yanqing looked at En Xiang again and realized that what Su Wu had just said was true. How could En Xiang be really angry?
Then I heard the Minister of En say: "This guy... is just a fool and audacious! There is really nothing I can do about him. He has caused such a big mess. Isn't it difficult for me?"

is it?

Liu Yanqing expressed his disbelief, but he did not express it, he just bowed and said nothing.

Then he heard the Prime Minister helplessly: "Forget it, forget it. Han Tianlin is seeking his own death, right? If he hadn't intercepted the money and food, how could this happen? It's just that the war is approaching and we need people. We can only wait for an opportunity to punish Su Wu. How could he be so bold? Ah? How could there be such a bold general?"

Liu Yanqing expressed his disbelief, but he still did not express it or say anything.

"You go too..." Tong Guan waved his hand. He also had to hurry to work. Tan Zhen had something to say to the emperor, so how could Tong Guan not also hurry to say it to the emperor?
Liu Yanqing bowed and left.

En Xiang had one more thing to say: "Take that head away, don't leave it here, it makes me upset."

Liu Yanqing picked up the still warm head from the ground and took it out. He looked around but didn't know where to throw it...

Just carry it all the way back to your own tent.

There were many generals in the camp, waiting for General Manager Liu to come back and talk about the money and grain issue...

Butler Liu came back, threw the head to the ground again, and sat on the main seat.

Veteran General Wang Yuan came to ask... Liu Yanqing gave another explanation.

It is just that it is thrilling and exciting. This is the process. There is no need to exaggerate.

Everyone in the tent felt their hearts rise to their throats and then almost jump out of their chests.

But it is really exciting. One man went to the camp of an army of 80,000 and returned with killing people, and no one else moved. What kind of legendary story is this?
Liu Guangshi was stunned when he heard this, and Han Shizhong's blood boiled. Brother Su Wu, you have the right temper!

This is how you should be as a human being. If you don't accept it, just fight it. If you don't accept it, fight it to death! Who is really afraid of whom?
Wang Yuan said, "Then...what does the Prime Minister say?"

Liu Yanqing shook his head: "En Xiang... um... En Xiang asked me to take this head away, so I brought it back. Who are you? Throw this head away..."

In other words, Eun-sang didn’t say anything…

Wang Yuan was stunned. Like this... Prime Minister En was speechless and had nothing to say?

What is the secret behind this? If you think about it carefully, there must be a secret. How can a person like En Xiang be an ordinary person?

Han Shizhong stood up. He didn't say anything but went to pick up the head. He took a few glances at the Tangzhou Military Commander, thinking that this bastard had a short life.

He went out to deal with the head and sent someone on horseback to throw it far away. It was mainly because it was inside the military camp, which was full of living areas. It would not be suitable to throw it anywhere. It would have to be buried deep and digging a hole would be troublesome.

He just went back to his own troops, found someone to throw the ball to, and then told the story with great joy, how could such a legend not be interesting to listen to?
Did Brother Su Wu fight for money and food just for himself? Of course not, all the brothers benefited, and if they got one more penny, they could buy one more bread.

Han Shizhong was happy to go and say it.

In Liu Yanqing's tent, everyone also dispersed.

But Liu Guangshi was still there, and he asked, "Father, that General Su is truly a hero!"

Liu Yanqing nodded: "You should get closer to him in the future. You are both young people, and you must be of the same mind. Getting close to him will bring you benefits in the future."

"I know, don't worry, father. I know it myself. I have already sworn an oath of brotherhood with him." Liu Guangshi just told his father about the brotherhood, only because such matters were somewhat taboo in the army and he was afraid that his father would be unhappy. It was okay to tell him now.

Liu Yanqing nodded earnestly upon hearing this: "You did a great job in forming a brotherhood."

"He was afraid that his father would be unhappy, so he even became sworn brothers with Han Shizhong." Liu Guangshi said.

"Very good, very good. There is nothing wrong with it." Liu Yanqing nodded. Since he was his son's sworn brother, it was easier for him to call him "Ziqing".

At this time, Su Wu's tent was also very lively. Wu Song was describing in vivid detail how his brother drew his sword and killed people among the 80,000 soldiers. The soldiers were all stunned and pale.

My brother is really powerful!

I, Wu Er, am not bad either. I can just draw my sword and kill all of you with a single word!
All the generals dared not look directly at...

Holding the head in his hand, he went out in a cool manner. Among the 80,000 soldiers, not a single one dared to move!
"it is good!"

"Brother is so powerful!"

"The general is mighty!"

Everyone cheered.

Su Wu was washing himself with hot water in the small tent. When he heard the cheers from the big tent, he smiled slightly.

The sun had completely set, and after washing off the smelly smell on his body, he entered the big tent, where he saw dozens of generals and soldiers sitting there. They all looked at him with sharp eyes, as if they were gods.

Su Wu walked to the main seat and glanced around: "Well, everyone return to the camp and be strictly controlled at night."

All the generals stood up and shouted in unison: "Understood!"

The voices came together and seemed to soar into the sky. The morale of the troops was high and there was no need to say more.

All the generals came out, and there were a few military advisors in the tent. Su Wu looked around. They were all busy writing. The military documents were also complicated. The daily money, food, and supplies had to be accounted for, and even the return of personnel, and so on...

Although they were busy, they all looked up at the general.

Su Wu glanced over and saw Xu Guanzhong nodding with a smile on his face. Zhu Wu was a little excited, holding a pen in his hand and also smiling.

Wu Yong was laughing, but when Su Wu's gaze came over him, he quickly lowered his head and hid, pretending to be working hard.

Wen Huanzhang smiled and bowed to Su Wu. This army had really come to the right place.

But someone outside the door called out, "General Su, the Prime Minister wants to see you."

Even though I didn't see the person, I knew it was Cheng Hao just by hearing the voice.

Su Wu stood up and saw Cheng Hao outside the door. He put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile, "Brother Zisheng, thank you for your trouble. Come..."

"What?" Cheng Hao was puzzled.

Su Wu took out a white jade headband from his bosom, which was a large semicircular jade ring, quite wide, with holes at both ends. The rope could be passed through the holes to fix the hair in the headband.

Meng Yulou bought it. Su Wu used it to hold his hair up when he wasn't wearing his iron helmet. He took it off when he was washing just now. Now he gave it to Cheng Hao and said with a smile: "I hope Editor Cheng can say a few good words to the Prime Minister..."

It's just a joke.

Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, then he took it and smiled: "You are sensible. I am short of money, so I will say a lot of good things for you..."

"Brother Zisheng, let's go..." Su Wu let go of his hand and walked forward.

Cheng Hao said, "Brother-in-law, please stop doing this kind of thing. It sounds scary. You've frightened me..."

When others heard this, their blood boiled, but Cheng Hao was the only one who felt terrified.

"It's okay, it's okay. How dare you, a bunch of insignificant people, fight with me?" Su Wu said comfortingly.

"That's not necessarily true..." Cheng Haoyi said.

"I expected it. I know most of the people in the military tent."

"Alas... Anyway, we can't act like this. If anything happens to you, what will my sister do?"

"Well, I won't do that next time." Su Wu nodded and strode forward.

My eldest brother-in-law chased after me and said, "You better remember this and keep your word."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I know..." Su Wu was still joking.

"I'm serious..."

"I really know!" Su Wu nodded seriously.

When I entered the big tent, the oil lamp had just been lit and the light was dim.

"Sit here, closer." Tong Guan raised his hand and pointed to the side of the table.

Su Wu stepped forward, bowed and greeted him, and asked, "Why did you seek me, Prime Minister? Please tell me what you want."

"It's nothing serious. I just want to tell you that in the battle of Hangzhou, I'm afraid we can't count on the north at all." Tong Guan was reminding Su Wu that there are always two sides to everything.

If we were in the front, the north could really count on one or two things, at least a feint attack or attracting some firepower would still be of some use.

After today, it will be useless, not even a deterrent effect. Even if the south attacks the city, the north may not move at all...

This was foreseeable, and this was one of the reasons why Tong Guan had previously wanted to solve the problem in a gentle manner.

Winning is winning, but in the process of winning, you will also lose something.

Su Wu frowned slightly, nodded and said: "Then don't count on them. I will take down this city at the lowest cost."

"It's enough if you know it, and it's enough if you say this..." Tong Guan didn't say much. Now, he was really delegating power, the power in the army, and Su Wu must be trained well.

"I can't count on them for anything..." Su Wu said again.

Tong Guan looked at Su Wu, his tone lowered, and he spoke slowly: "Grand Tutor Cai, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, and many others, as well as Grand Tutor Cai's son Cai You, Shangshu Youcheng Li Bangyan..."

Su Wu knew what Tong Guan was talking about. These people, these gentlemen, seemed to be the opposite of Tong Guan at this moment.

The word "opposite" is very complicated. It does not mean enemies. It just means that at this moment, there is a disagreement on interests.

Su Wu asked, "Why?"

Su Wu really wanted to know why, why it seemed like Tong Guan had enemies everywhere in the court?

Tong Guan replied: "Why? It's not that I have any hatred towards them, nor that they are all in the same party. They have their own disputes. It's just that I am old."

Su Wu suddenly realized that not all the people in the court were Tong Guan’s enemies, and these people were not necessarily all Tong Guan’s enemies.

But Tong Guan was old, 66 years old, and could die at any time. Once Tong Guan died, there was a power vacuum in the huge group under Tong Guan, and they were fighting for the right to inherit Tong Guan's estate.

Since we are fighting for the inheritance right, we have to make a move in advance. Once Tong Guan arrives, everything will be done naturally.

In this matter, it is not all these people who are competing with Tong Guan...

Su Wu suddenly understood what Tong Guan was arguing about at this moment?

He seemed to be fighting for his inheritance rights, and he also wanted someone he designated to inherit it...

Even Tong Guan didn't know how long he could live. In this era, people's longevity was just a matter of illness. He was fine the day before yesterday, but he fell ill today and could die in no time...

"I seem to understand." Su Wu replied.

Tong Guan smiled and said, "It is very worry-free to talk to you. You are really smart! It is a pity that you are too young. If you were born ten years earlier, it would be great..."

Su Wu understood everything and asked, "Has my father-in-law been selected by the Prime Minister?"

Tong Guan nodded: "After choosing and choosing, who else can I choose? You can't ask me to choose Tan Zhen, right? Having said that, I was not so sure it was him, but you are doing well. The more I look at you, the more I am sure it is him..."

"Thank you, Shu..."

"No need to say these things. In the future, it will be your father-in-law who will fight with Tan Zhen, or maybe it will be you who will fight with Tan Zhen. Do you know what you are still missing?"

Tong Guan was particularly serious today.

"Please give me some advice, Prime Minister." Su Wu said.

"You are still a little short of one thing, that is, the favor of the emperor. This is the most difficult thing. You have a different personality from others. I have always known that no matter how respectful you usually behave, you actually have a humble and unyielding mind in your heart. You have to change, you have to change. It is difficult for you to be favored by the emperor like this..."

Tong Guan must have thought about it for a long time before he said these words to Su Wu.

Su Wu understood what he heard and asked, "How should we change?"

"You really don't know how to serve people. You have to learn." Tong Guan said earnestly and taught seriously.

The emperor today only accepts this kind of treatment. You have to serve him until he feels comfortable inside and out. Only then will it work.

Tong Guan saw through it and knew that Su Wu in front of him could not do it.

"How to learn?" Su Wu asked.

"How to learn? Go and learn with your brother-in-law..." Tong Guan said seriously.

"Okay, I'll keep it in mind." Su Wu nodded.

Tong Guan looked Su Wu up and down again, then sighed and shook his head.

"Prime Minister, what is this..." Su Wu was puzzled.

"Alas... I'm afraid you still can't learn it. Fortunately, your father-in-law knows it, but he..." Tong Guan felt that this matter could not be perfect, and he could not have the best of both worlds.

Su Wu said nothing. Although he kept answering, deep down he didn't want to learn it, and he knew that he couldn't really learn it.

A great man taught Su Wu to stand up, so how could he kneel down again?

This is really not an ordinary kneeling. If it were anyone else, Su Wu would also be able to "kneel" a little. If it were another powerful leader, Su Wu would even be willing to kneel to a certain extent.

That Zhao Ji...

Su Wu couldn't kneel! If he kneeled before Zhao Ji, Su Wu would be unworthy of the history books!
For Tong Guan, this topic is actually unsolvable when it comes to Su Wu...

Tong Guan was also worried, and Su Wu was helpless.

But someone at the door suddenly said in a hurry: "Report, urgent military information!"

The topic ended here, and Tong Guan said urgently: "Come in!"

"Report to the Prime Minister, there are a large number of enemy troops and cavalry 200 miles to the west!"

Su Wu immediately stood up and asked, "Where exactly?"

"Replying to General Su, it's between the east of Dazhang Mountain and the west of Changhua City!"

Su Wu quickly picked up the oil lamp on Tong Guan's desk and turned back to look at the map hanging in the big tent!

Besiege the point and attack the reinforcements, reinforcements are coming!
(Brothers, nine thousand five, I was too embarrassed to say it yesterday, so I’m asking for a ticket today. Thank you!)
