It wasn't until everyone had finished talking that Di Yingyang's voice sounded again, but there was deep helplessness in it: "Actually, I, Di Jiu, am not like this? And compared to you, I am even more unbearable. Everyone After all, I am still in my prime, only in my early twenties at most. But what about me? I am thirty-two this year and have a son and a daughter, but today I have accomplished nothing and can only receive a salary from the Forbidden Army. Think about it carefully, It’s really shameless to see anyone.”
Although he was talking about himself, when it fell into the ears of others, they unconsciously substituted for themselves, and then their anxiety and unwillingness became more and more serious. Yes, I can still hang out in Tokyo now, but what about a few years from now? Once the elder in the family leaves office, how can his brother, who doesn't have a very good relationship with him, allow him to stay at home
In fact, if I think about it carefully, his brother Di Jiu is pretty good. At least the relationship between the Di brothers has always been harmonious, so they don't really turn a blind eye to him. Thinking about themselves again, they couldn't even arouse the slightest interest in the fine wines and delicacies in front of them and the beautiful women in their arms.
Feeling that his emotions had been fully mobilized, Di Yingyang got to the point: "Actually, do you think that I, Di Jiu, transferred from the Tianwu Army to the Huben Army voluntarily? This is entirely due to the arrangement of my second brother. Do you have something? I don't know, but just in the past two days, I had a conflict with a colleague in the Tianwu Army, which offended everyone, and I had no choice but to get out. And with my reputation... In the end, I had no choice but to join the Huben Army.
"My second brother also said that if I cause trouble again or slack off in the military, he will no longer stand up for me. I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to stay in Tokyo. So everyone, Huben The army is our last hope, if we can no longer keep this mission, we will have no choice but to return home and become ordinary people."
If there were people who were familiar with these Yamen around, they would probably not be able to believe that waves of helpless sighs would continue to come out of their mouths. Everyone looked at each other and wanted to say something, but for a while they didn’t know what to say. good. They all know the situation of the Huben Army. I wonder if there is any way to change it
Di Yingyang caught everyone's thoughts at once and cheered up a little: "Of course, we are still soldiers of the Forbidden Army, and we still have opportunities. Didn't General Sun be transferred to the Huben Army recently? He is in Jiangnan has made great military exploits and was granted a title by the imperial court. If we can really rise up under his leadership, maybe we can turn over, at least it won't be as difficult as it is now."
"Brother Di Jiu, we have heard of Sun Tu's name, but he has no foundation in the court. How can he really succeed? I heard my father mentioned that he has many enemies in the court. If we really follow him, , I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble later." Soon, someone raised questions.
"Yes, and he really has such abilities that he can even bring us out to the Tiger Army?"
"I heard that he killed Yan Ziliang two days ago. I'm afraid such a reckless person will be dismissed by Captain Gao soon, right?"
Amidst all the questioning, Di Yingyang looked calm. It wasn't until everyone had finished talking that he slowly asked: "We are all like this, are we still afraid that he will affect our future? This is already the case. It's our brothers
Are you really willing to let go of this best opportunity right now? "
Everyone was immediately speechless by his question and fell silent again. Di Yingyang added another sentence at this time: "If you brothers don't even have the courage to stake your own future, then I, Di Jiu, have nothing to say. I'll just treat you as a banquet today."
"Brother Ninth is serious. Everyone understands your thoughts for the brothers, but after all, there are some doubts about this matter. And even if we have the intention, if General Sun doesn't have the intention, wouldn't it be in vain?"
"Who said that General Sun doesn't have this idea? Otherwise, do you think who organized the banquet in Fanlou today? I, Di Yingyang, don't have such a big reputation to book such a banquet for our brothers. It's a big private room. It's not like you don't know how difficult it is to get a private room at night in Fanlou. You can't just pay for it." With the heat in place, Di Yingyang finally revealed the answer to the mystery. Sun Tu, who was listening carefully in the next room, also smiled. Knowing that it was time for him to appear, he no longer delayed, strode out, turned around, opened the door to the private room, and appeared in many yamen who were already stunned. In front of the young master.
"This..." Seeing this man who was about the same age as him, but exuding a strong aura, steadily entered the room, everyone guessed his identity immediately. At the same time, they felt nervous and stood up subconsciously. Come.
Sun Tu just walked to the front casually and sat down at the main seat of the people. Then he pressed his hands and said: "Everyone, please sit down and talk. From now on, we will be brothers who eat from the same pot, so there is no need to be like this." point."
Everyone glanced at Sun Tu and then at Di Yingyang. Their expressions changed several times. They were both surprised and a little unhappy. They always felt that they seemed to have been tricked.
Sun Tu didn't give them any time to react, and got to the point again: "I am very pleased to hear what you just said. It seems that our Tiger Army still has a head start. At least you are still determined to rise up and fight for yourselves." I have a bright future. In this case, I feel confident in my heart. As long as you are really willing to obey my orders, I can guarantee that our Tiger Army will impress everyone in the future. Come on, let me toast you all. ." As he said that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it.
His identity and demeanor are all displayed here. He is much stronger than these Yameni young men of the same age. He can steadily control the situation on the court with every move. Seeing him drinking and respecting each other, many people subconsciously picked up their glasses. Come, and the rest of the crowd could only follow, and in the end they all drank the wine in a daze.
Seeing this, Sun Tu smiled even more happily: "Okay, it seems that everyone really regards me, Sun, as one of their own, so I will say some things directly. I have listened to everything you just said. It seems It makes sense, but it’s actually quite absurd.”
With that said, he waved his hand to interrupt a young man who was about to speak, and continued: "You just felt sorry for yourself, saying that you are incompetent in culture and martial arts is indeed good, but saying that you have no future is wrong. Although we, the Song Dynasty, have always valued civility over military affairs, the status of our imperial army is no lower than that of ordinary officials. Especially military attachés with ranks like you, you should not be so down on yourself, otherwise it will put other armies in the world next to you. Where are the soldiers placed
"You say you will do anything to join the Fourth Army, but are we really worse than them? People will abandon themselves first and then others will abandon them, and they will insult themselves and then others will insult them. It is because you yourself gave up the opportunity to rise up in the first place. Only then will we have such a result. However, as long as we are still in the Forbidden Army, we will always have a chance.
"I, Sun Tu, dare not say anything else, but when it comes to making an army strong, I have never failed. I think back in Qingzhou, we had no more than a thousand soldiers and only three or five generals, and we were still constrained by the local magistrate. But that's not the case. Was a way out opened by my Sun Tushengsheng? Then there is Jiangnan. You must be familiar with Zhu Meng's name, but in front of me, isn't he still just a footnote in my efforts to pacify Jiangnan? Since I can achieve success in these two places, in In Tokyo, of course you can do it in the Forbidden Army!"
The last confident and heroic words suddenly lifted the spirits of all the yamen, and their eyes revealed a bit of expectation and enthusiasm. Yes, they had all heard of Sun Tu's name and his deeds in Jiangnan, Shandong. Although they didn't know him too well, they still had some admiration for him.
"However, the army is a whole, so it is not enough for me alone. We need everyone to work together as one to make our Tiger and Ben army reborn. In fact, I have already thought about it. In more than a month, the Forbidden Army will start practicing martial arts. At that time, if we can perform well by then, it will be enough to change the bad reputation of our Tiger Army. I just don’t know if you are so determined?"
Everyone was agitated at first, but then they hesitated again: "General Sun, what you said is easy, our Tiger Army has been abandoned for many years, and the soldiers below are unwilling to come to the camp because their military pay has been withheld. Even if we really mean it, we are afraid..."
"These things will naturally be decided by me as the master. Now I just ask you about your determination. Do you have the determination to cheer up once and fight for your own future?" Sun Tu waved his hand and said in a comprehensive manner. .
But everyone still couldn't cope with it. After all, these people are used to living a comfortable life, and the so-called joining the Forbidden Army is just a name. The training is really hard and tiring for them, and they really can't make up their minds.
"It seems that what some officials in the front department said before is indeed true. This Tiger and Ben army is really a pile of mud that cannot be held up to the wall." Sun Tu's expression suddenly changed and he sneered: "No wonder you all Although he came from a good background, he could only achieve nothing in the end. No wonder I saw the guy named Wei Cheng in front of Fanlou just now. After being bullied like this, he didn't even dare to fart, so he could only hold it between his legs. Tails and leave. Since you have no fighting spirit at all, you might as well go to the front office of the palace and sell your military post, and go home to eat free from now on!"
"Bang!" Before he finished speaking, everyone present was furious, slapping the case and glaring: "Sun Tu, you... you are going too far..."
"What? Did I say something wrong? None of you are courageous or responsible. You don't even have the courage to fight for yourselves. How dare you call yourself a man?" Sun Tu stared at them. : "I'm not afraid to tell you that if my brother, Sun Tu, had been humiliated like this, they would have chopped off that person's head with a knife. Who cares who he is and who his biological father is? "
