After February entered late, the weather finally came out of the cold winter and began to have some warmth of spring. Especially at this time in the afternoon, the warm sunshine can dissipate the coldness that has accumulated for months, making Du Changguo feel more comfortable, and he can taste the taste of fine wine when holding a cup of turbid wine.
After spending a few days dealing with many miscellaneous military affairs, Du Jianjun finally had half a day to spare today, enjoying the rare leisure time in the backyard of his house. At the same time, he also knew very well that as the decisive battle on the front line began, Yanmen Pass in the rear would soon become busier, so he had to seize this rare opportunity and enjoy it.
But just when he was reading "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, and seemed to understand the subtle meaning of some saints, a burst of noise came from outside, interrupting his thoughts, which suddenly reduced most of his good mood, and made his brows even darker. He quickly wrinkled up and shouted immediately: "Come here, go and get rid of the bastards who are causing trouble outside. If you dare to make any noise again, you will be punished severely by me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden door connecting the front and back yard was pushed open with great force, and a voice full of ridicule came: "Jiang Du, you are such a powerful official. No wonder you dare to avenge private revenge and do such a thing." Bold disobedience comes.”
"Who is it?" Du Changguo's heart suddenly trembled, and he also stood up from the seat, his face full of vigilance. He felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
However, this question did not last long. The person immediately followed the voice and walked into the backyard. After seeing the person clearly, Du Changguo was even more shocked. He took two steps back without realizing it and said in a trembling voice: "Yue... Yuehou..."
It was Sun Tu who came. Of course, he was not the only one who entered the courtyard, there were dozens of soldiers, and Tian Boyuan who looked defeated and ashamed. Whether it was Sun Tu or the soldiers, they all carried strong killing intent. When they entered the courtyard, everyone's eyes were fixed on him, Du Changguo, as if they wanted their eyes to turn into swords, and he would be killed on the spot. He was cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
This momentum indeed overwhelmed Du Jianjun at once, but after all, he had been an official for many years and had some skills in cultivating his energy. He quickly regained his composure and shouted preemptively: "General Tian, Marquis of Yue, you guys What does this mean? You actually barged into my house for no reason, and you didn't even have time to make an announcement? Although this place is at the frontier, the etiquette should not be completely abandoned, right?" When he said this, His eyes were more focused on Tian Boyuan, and he was obviously convinced of this general with whom he had a closer relationship.
At the same time, he felt panic in his heart. At this time, he still didn't understand that Sun Tu was coming to ask for justice. Just looking at the injured and embarrassed appearance of each of these people, we can know that they must have encountered a fierce attack by the Liao army this time when they went north, and the casualties must be considerable. And when he came back this time, he came to call for punishment, and he also saw that the timid and irresponsible Tian Boyuan must have put all the blame on himself.
So at this moment, Du Jianjun made up his mind to turn against the guests and never let Sun Tu lose his momentum. Only in this way could he reverse right and wrong and put himself out of the way first. How could these Liao people be so incompetent? They couldn't kill Sun Tu.
He killed them all together, and actually let him come back to cause trouble for him...
Just when Du Changguo was thinking about how to excuse himself, Sun Tu sneered: "It's just a break in, what does it matter? How can it be compared to you, Du Jianjun, who ignored the military intelligence office before?" What a big mistake you made? I would like to ask you, why did you prevent the Yanmen Pass defenders from sending troops to rescue at the last moment, even though I had already discussed it with you and others? What are your intentions? "
Sun Tu didn't even ask if not sending troops was your idea, because he believed this fact after listening to Tian Boyuan's explanation when he entered the customs. Indeed, based on his understanding of Tian Boyuan, this person would never do anything like betraying his promise and putting thousands of soldiers to death. Therefore, Du Changguo, the supervisor who had a conflict with him because of the Liao spy incident, became the biggest The culprit.
Being glared at by Sun Tuna, Du Changguo felt even more guilty and his face turned a little pale, but he still tried to hold on for the last time: "I don't understand what Marquis Yue said. You said it too, The soldiers and horses here are all Yanmen Pass defenders. In this case, how can they go out at will? If the troops in the pass are depleted and eventually taken advantage of by the Liao army, who can bear the consequences? Yes, I did not raise any objection that day. But I didn’t think about it for a while, but then I thought about it, and then I persuaded General Tian. He also accepted this."
There is some truth in this evasive argument. Of course, it cannot be thought up now, but it is an excuse that Du Changguo made up a few days ago. Because he also knew very well that this incident would inevitably cause heavy casualties to the Huben Army, and the front line or the court would be held accountable at that time, so he had to come up with a reasonable excuse.
If the imperial court came to hold the matter accountable, and after receiving such an explanation, given the current situation where the elite and the military are insignificant, it is possible that the matter would be dropped in the end. But now that Sun Tu was here, it was not so easy to fool him. He immediately took a step forward and stared into the opponent's eyes: "You are very high-sounding, but now the main force of our Song Dynasty has been fighting on the front line with the Liao army. Yanmen Pass How could there be any danger? These are just empty words that you use to deal with others. Let me ask you, but because you have a grudge against me, you want to avenge a private grudge against me, block the dispatch of troops, and want to kill thousands of my soldiers? "
Feeling Sun Tu's intimidating momentum when he asked these words made Du Changguo feel even more nervous. How could he admit at this time that he was doing this to avenge his personal revenge? So he immediately shook his head and said: "Marquis Yue, you are wronging me. How could I do such a thing? Don't say that what happened before does not count. There is no contradiction, even if there is one, I will put the overall situation first. Don't guess at me with the thoughts of such villains. General Tian, can you also testify about this? Everything I do is for the sake of justice. Out of consideration for the situation, you only followed this principle after understanding my painstaking efforts." After saying that, he looked deeply at Tian Boyuan with some threat.
But Tian Boyuan seemed to have lost his soul at this time, and did not pay attention to his question as a supervisor. On the contrary, after listening to his explanation, Sun Tu's face not only did not show anger because of this, but actually smiled even more happily. : "Okay, Du Jianjun really has a sharp mouth. I'm afraid he is very different from those first-rate litigants who are good at confusing right and wrong. It's really shocking."
Vision. "
"Marquis of Yue, how dare you insult me? I am a court official with a background in Jinshi. How dare you compare me with that low-ranking person!" Du Changguo suddenly became furious and his face turned red as he shouted. For scholars at this time, those litigators who always encouraged people to litigate and make a living and make money were the most unbearable existence. This was worse than calling them bastards in person.
But Sun Tu ignored his anger at all, and just laughed and said: "What I said is just the truth, why are you so anxious? And in my opinion, what you did is worse than that lawsuit As for the sticks, at least they won't do such things that harm the country and the people, and get them inside and out."
"You..." Du Changguo suddenly became even more angry. He no longer cared about the people in front of him, pointed at Sun Tu and shouted: "You are really insulting to gentlemen. Do you really think that you can have nothing to worry about if you have soldiers in your hands?" Come here, get these undisciplined bastards for me. Tian Boyuan, why are you still standing there, why don't you call someone?"
But Tian Boyuan only fluttered his eyes and didn't even open his mouth. Sun Tu, who was in front of him, laughed at this moment: "Du Changguo, you dare to boss me around like this when you are about to die. Do you really think that no one can find out your thoughts and true identity? Come here, give him to me. I'll take it and drag it out!"
As soon as the order was uttered, the impatient soldiers around him rushed forward. Just like a tiger or wolf holding a chicken cub, they pushed Du Jianjun to the ground and tied him up with a rope. He couldn't even struggle anymore.
This frightened him so much that his soul almost flew out of his body, and he immediately yelled: "What are you doing? I am an official of the imperial court and a local military supervisor. How dare you arrest me at will? I..." He was mid-sentence. , a big foot flew towards him and kicked him hard on the door: "Shut up!"
This kick was so real that it not only blocked all his words, but also caused Du Changguo's mouth to break, his teeth to fly, and his yelling to turn into a scream, and he almost fainted.
But at the same time, this kick also woke up Du Changguo. The other party's series of actions were so unscrupulous, and it was obvious that he acted after planning. This Sun Tu was going to kill him! After understanding this level, Du Jianjun immediately fell into great fear, and his body stopped twisting, and he was pushed and pulled out of his yard by the soldiers.
As he staggered out, he only had one thought left in his mind. What excuse did Sun Tu want to use to deal with him? By the way, he just mentioned his true identity, what does that mean
Tian Boyuan, who was beside them, followed them out in a daze. At this time, his heart was filled with regret. If he had known that this would be the result, he should have led his troops to rescue Sun Tu and the others even if he had fallen out with Du Changguo. It's good now that my life and death are completely in someone else's hands, and even if I die, my reputation will be completely ruined...
Du Changguo, who was at home, didn't know what was going on outside, but Tian Boyuan knew how many soldiers and horses Sun Tu had brought with him this time, and how angry these people were when they saw it. This is not going to be good...
