"Sun Dujian!" Seeing that Sun Tu was about to seize Duan Yu's military power in just a few words, and the latter had long since lost the courage to resist and did not even dare to say a word of doubt, Shen Danian finally couldn't help but said in a deep voice spoke.
Because he knew that if he didn't object, once things came true, Zizhou would become another Qingzhou city with Sun Tu's final say. He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Murong Yanchao and Gao Xiang, so he stared at Sun Tu and said: "You said that I am overstepping my authority, and what you have done will only go further! When did it become your turn for an outsider to take charge of my affairs in Zizhou?" Yes, if you don’t have the Ministry of War and the Privy Council’s approval, why should you remove Duan Dujian from his official position and take away his military power?”
"Just because I am the Military Supervisor of Jingdong Road appointed by the imperial court, I have the right to intervene in the important military affairs of the various states in this road during wartime. The transfer of generals is also within my scope of authority!" Sun Tu He looked back at the other person calmly, without any sign of guilt.
"It's not war time now..." Shen Danian hurriedly questioned, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Sun Tu: "Prefect Shen, you are wrong. It is war time now. Don't think that I have relieved Dongping." The siege of the government means peace. I was ordered to clear out the bandits in Liangshan. Now we need the cooperation of soldiers and horses from various states to get rid of this serious problem. And since the soldiers and horses here in Zizhou will not obey the call, I have the right to arrange for other people Come and be the governor of this state."
"You..." Shen Danian was anxious and wanted to say something else, but Sun Tu no longer gave him this chance: "Prefect Shen, I have said that military matters do not require you, a civil servant, to worry too much. If you dare to talk nonsense again and disrupt the morale of our army, don't blame me for being rude to you. Now everything in Shandong is to pacify the Liangshan bandits. Anyone who dares to ruin this important matter may collude with the Liangshan bandits. I will never spare him!"
This was Chi Guoguo's threat, and Shen Danian's face immediately turned pale, and he subconsciously took a step back. He had clearly felt the strong murderous intention from Sun Tu, and it seemed that if he said the wrong thing again, he would give the order to take action.
Thinking of the final fate of the two prefects of Qingzhou, Shen Danian's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he was already a little timid. It was only then that he truly realized how powerful Sun Tu was. He was more difficult and terrifying than any general he had come into contact with before. And the reason why he dared to do all this was because he had a weapon in his hand that could frighten the entire army. Shandong’s elite division!
After seeing this scene, all the Zizhou military attachés, including Duan Yu, were filled with emotion, and some even felt happy. They have suffered enough grievances after being military generals for so many years, and no one has ever been able to suppress a fifth-grade prefect like Sun Dujian so much that he dared not speak out.
Perhaps this is the identity we and other generals should have. Only by following Sun Dujian can we truly conduct our lives with our heads held high, instead of having to be as groveling and cautious as before... Such a strange thing suddenly appeared in the hearts of many people. After thinking about it, the awe in Sun Tu's eyes became even stronger.
Sun Tu grinned, showing his white teeth: "Prefect Shen, do you have anything else to say?"
"Although I am a civilian official and cannot control your military affairs, this matter is against the rules. I will definitely report it to the court." Shen Danian said.
Although Li never surrendered, he had actually given up on confronting Sun Tu again and acquiesced in disguise to his decision to replace him as the governor of Zizhou.
"That's up to you." Sun Tu smiled disdainfully, and then glanced at Fan Liang, who was beaming at the side: "Superintendent Fan, make good preparations after returning to the camp. You will go to Qingzhou with me in two days. No mistakes." He Substituting people is not only to establish prestige, but more importantly, to truly take the military power here into one's own hands.
Fan Liang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly responded. Although going to Qingzhou will reduce his power in the military a lot, it is obviously more beneficial to him now than when he was under Duan Yu and had to rely on many people to survive.
Before Sun Tu finished speaking, he then said: "Also, your soldiers and horses will be carefully drilled when going to Qingzhou, so you must bring enough food, grass and military pay."
"Ah... this..." Fan Liang suddenly looked confused and couldn't help but glance at Shen Danian. The meaning was already obvious - the money and food needed by the army were naturally under his control as the prefect, otherwise he would not It is impossible to eat Duan Yu to death. This is now a common phenomenon in all states in the Song Dynasty.
But Sun Tu had no intention of discussing with Shen Danian. He just said: "This is a military order! If it cannot be done, military law will be engaged. If you want to rob, you have to prepare enough money and food for me!"
Shen Danian was even more frightened and angry after hearing this. His words were clearly a threat to himself. If he dared to withhold military rations and wages at this time, he would have to bear the consequences of possible chaos. But after seeing Sun Tu's stern face, he calmed down again as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. This person is so courageous that killing officials is a common occurrence. Who knows if he will risk his own life if he really dares to bear it.
This time, he finally understood how true the old saying was. When a scholar encounters a soldier, it really makes no sense. In the end, he could only compromise and gritted his teeth and said: "Since everything is for the sake of peace in Shandong, I will naturally not hinder Sun Dujian. We in Zizhou will provide enough money and food."
"That's good. Governor Shen can be considerate of our difficulties, and he is a good and responsible official." Sun Tu complimented casually, then glanced at the people in front of him, and then clasped his fists: "The affairs in the army are busy, and I am here to I'll stay soon. I'll wait for you outside the city in two days." The last sentence was addressed to Fan Liang, who hurriedly stepped in to respond. It seemed that his whole spirit was completely different from before.
It wasn't until a while after Sun Tu left that the few people in the room came back to their senses from the silence. Duan Yu looked at Shen Danian and Fan Liang with a look of panic, and said blankly: "Then what should I do?"
"Trash!" Magistrate Shen suddenly changed his face, slammed the table and said: "This is Zizhou, it is your and my territory, how come you are so suppressed by an outsider that you don't dare to resist? Can't you be tougher? Go back, talk back to those words he said?"
A storm of rebuke fell on Duan Yu, making his whole face turn red, blue, and white, but he couldn't say anything. And just when Shen Danian looked at Fan Liang with a gloomy look, wanting to take advantage of him, the man suddenly fisted his fist: "Prefect Shen, I have something to do in the army, so I won't bother you. Still. Yes, military ration army
I hope you will release the salary quickly so as not to affect the departure of my army. "As he said that, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he left as if he was running away.
Although these words were not too harsh, and he left in a panic after saying them, this was the most daring performance of the Zizhou military attaché in front of Magistrate Shen. Although Shen Danian's expression changed again after he said this, he didn't dare to scold Duan Yu like he did for a while.
Sometimes people are so bully and afraid of the strong. As long as you can resist, the person who bullies you may not dare to do anything.
Duan Yu looked thoughtfully at Fan Liang who was walking away, and then at Shen Danian who was a little surprised. He suddenly puffed up his chest and said, "I'll take my leave." He didn't want to pretend to be a grandson in front of this person anymore. , Duan Yu really regretted at this time, why he didn't have the courage before, and ended up in this situation today.
Even though Shen Danian was dissatisfied with this, even though he said harsh words, he did not dare to do anything with the money and food. He could only hand over the money and food to the rural soldiers who were about to leave within two days. Moreover, it was not until Sun Tu left with the two states' troops and horses two days later that he finally felt relieved, and then sent someone to impeach Sun Tu to the capital for several charges of misbehaving and breaking into the government office.
As soon as his memorial was sent out, what happened here in Zizhou had already spread like wildfire and reached the ears of officials from other states in Shandong. After learning what happened and Sun Tuna's reasons for suppressing Magistrate Shen, the prefects and prefects from all over the country also panicked.
Because their approach was no different from Shen Danian's before, they were unwilling to let go of the soldiers and horses in the city, and they never sent troops to rescue Dongping Mansion. If Sun Tu came to visit like this again, they would not be able to withstand the other party's anger. Now that Sun Tu has defeated the Liangshan bandits and comes to question him, how can these local officials be able to resist him
After some weighing, some local officials quickly made the wisest choice. They sent soldiers and horses from the city to Qingzhou before Sun Tu came to the door, which was regarded as obeying his orders. The first person to make this decision was Gu Tongzhou, the prefect of Jeju, because he had the most contact with Sun Tu and was more aware of the strength of the Qingzhou Army. Seeing that it was impossible to do anything, it was better to be soft. This was better than being approached by Sun Tu. Come on, it’s better to lose all your dignity and face, right
As a result, a scene that many people did not expect occurred. After Sun Tu defeated the Liangshan bandits, the rural troops from all walks of life in Shandong who had not obeyed the dispatches more than a month ago suddenly rushed to Qingzhou. Although the number of soldiers and horses available to each state capital was not many, but together they were At the same time, Qingzhou suddenly gained more than 10,000 troops. Together with Qingzhou's local elites, together, Sun Tu's available troops reached 15,000. This was Sun Tu's palm. The largest number of troops that can be mobilized since the beginning of the war.
It was only then that Huang Wenbing and the others truly accepted Sun Dujian's foresight. He had previously said that rescuing the Dongping Mansion was not only a military matter but also a government matter. Before, everyone had doubts, but now everything has become a fact.
Of course, with the troops in place, it means that Sun Tu's expedition against the Liangshan bandits will also be put on the agenda.
It's just that sometimes people are not as good as God. At this time, the arrival of a few people makes the matter change again...

At the end of the year, we suddenly encountered a major epidemic. I hope everyone is well. Although the New Year is heavy, health is more important. . . . .
