Let alone others, even Sun Tu felt that the Liao people's killing move was unexpected. So much so that he couldn't even raise his sword to defend himself, so he could only retreat and dodge to avoid this fatal blow. The subordinates around him all roared and pounced, but it was obvious that they were all one step too late.
But someone seemed to have been prepared. The moment the knife missed Sun Tu's cheek, the figure flashed, and Dong Kuang rushed out. The spear in his hand was like cold lightning, whizzing out and disappearing in an instant. The chest of the Liao man named Bolullie penetrated his body without any lag, and actually took him straight back to the side, and finally nailed him to the earth wall over there. .
This move was so fast and so powerful that everyone's eyes were blurred. The attacker was already hanging on the wall, twitching continuously, with large streams of blood spurting out from his body and mouth, and he was dead before his eyes. The movements of Sun Tu and others were interrupted, while Xiao Sixun's face suddenly turned pale and his body started to tremble: "Dong Kuang, you dare to kill me, a Khitan warrior..."
"Whoever dares to hurt a guest of our Ever Victorious Army in front of me, he is an example!" Dong Kuang had an indifferent look on his face. With a tremor of his hand, he withdrew the spear nailed to the wall, and blood dripped from his eyes. , the corpse of the Liao man fell to the ground with a bang, really murderous.
Sun Tulu glanced at Dong Kuang with some surprise, and then thought about it again. He glanced around, only to find that the archers guarding the wall were still pointing their bows at this place. They were not affected at all and just waited for a word. When ordered, arrows will be fired randomly. This made him more confident in his own judgment. This Dong Kuang was indeed not simple.
Feeling the strong hostility of the other party, Xiao Sixun finally felt a little afraid. He couldn't even say anything to pursue him, and took two steps back: "Okay..."
As if sensing the panic in his heart, a guard next to him stepped forward and blocked Xiao Sixun behind him. At the same time, his eyes fell on Dong Kuang, who was expressionless: "Cloud Splitting Gun, who are you Dong Xiuxun?" ?" Obviously, he saw something from Dong Kuang's move.
A strange light flashed in Dong Kuang's eyes, but he still replied truthfully: "Dong Xiujiao is my late father!"
Hearing this answer, the faces of those Liao people were shocked again. This time Xiao Sixun really didn't dare to say anything more. Sun Tu smiled, as expected. I had already thought of this when I heard him calling himself Dong, and the reactions of those around him further proved a certain conjecture.
Dong Xiaoxiu was killed by the Liao people, and it is said that he died in the most miserable way. It can be said that the hatred between Dong Kuang, the son of Dong Xiaoxiu, and the Liao people is as deep as the sea. Maybe with his current status he wouldn't dare to really attack the Liao people, but as long as he was given a suitable excuse, he obviously wouldn't mind killing them all and venting their bad breath. This can be seen from the fact that he did not hesitate to kill Belu Lie, who attacked Sun Tu with one shot.
It was precisely because of seeing this that Xiao Sixun and other Liao people, who were still a little arrogant at first, did not dare to investigate further, let alone take action. Because they believe that as long as they dare to make any move, all those arrows will fall on them.
In the end, they could only turn around and leave in despair. And as they left, tonight's storm finally ended. Of course, the subsequent troubles were
It's not small, but it depends on how Yaoshi Guo makes compensation.
At the same time, this incident also reminded him that when facing the three parties, he must come up with an accurate idea as soon as possible, otherwise if it continues, the situation in Zhuozhou City will only become more chaotic and complicated. I'm afraid I won't be able to control it.
After hearing the report, Pharmacist Guo, who understood the key, was so angry that his whole face was twisted. He not only smashed a desk in front of him, but also ordered the relevant subordinates who arranged for the three parties to move in to be pulled outside and beaten heavily. , and he himself urgently summoned a group of confidants to discuss countermeasures, and he didn't sleep a wink all night.
It wasn't until the next morning that he personally went to the envoys from the three parties with a pair of bloodshot eyes, made his position clear, and also told them the countermeasures he had decided on early in the morning: "The Ever-Victorious Army is willing to Surrender, but I also hope that your country can send troops to receive it as soon as possible. As soon as the imperial army arrives, I, Zhuozhou City, will open the door and surrender, and I will never break my promise!"
He said the same thing to the envoys from both Jin and Liao, and finally came to Sun Tu and said the same thing after apologizing. But unlike the other two families who immediately agreed to his request, Sun Tu did not say anything in a hurry. Instead, he stared at him for a long time, which made Pharmacist Guo feel a little scared: "General Sun, what are you doing? What do you mean? It’s up to you to make the decision as to what the Song Dynasty’s attitude is.”
"I just want to see if what you said, General Guo, is sincere. When I saw General Guo's surrender in the army, I still admired your responsibility for the Han people, but now, I have doubts. Now." Sun Tu stared at the other party with a smile but not a smile: "General Guo, sometimes being too shrewd is not necessarily a good thing. If you want to play everyone as a fool, in the end you will find that you are the stupidest one. . The two ends of the head and rat are the most important."
Hearing these words, Guo Yaoshi's face changed, but he still managed to calm down and said: "I can't understand a bit of what General Sun said. I have made it clear. I am willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty. I only wait for your army." When I arrive, I will open the city and surrender, and I will never regret it..."
"I'm afraid you said the same thing to all three families, right?" Sun Tu pointed out his true intention: "It's really a wishful thinking. Well, since you have made up your mind, I can't try to dissuade you any more. I will send someone back to report your wishes to Tong Shuai, and then ask the court to send troops to Zhuozhou immediately. I hope you will not regret it when the time comes."
Yaoshi Guo's heart tightened again. He really didn't expect that the other party could see through it and bluntly expressed his intentions. But he still decided to pretend to be dumbfounded and just said: "This is the best. Whether I am loyal to the Song Dynasty or not, the general will see it by then."
"Haha, but before that, I have one more request." Sun Tu said with a faint smile.
"What is it?"
"It's my duty. Before my Song army takes over Zhuozhou, I, Sun Tu, can't leave here. But I don't want what happened last night to happen again, so I need you to ensure our safety."
"This... this is of course. I have asked people to strengthen night patrols. Also, three hundred soldiers have been arranged to guard your residence, which is enough to ensure that your envoy is not threatened by any threat." This latter point was actually made last night Execution, there are hundreds of people outside now
People from the Ever Victorious Army are guarding it.
But Sun Tu still shook his head: "This is not enough. I can't trust the people under your command."
"What do you mean by this?" Medicine Master Guo suddenly frowned and said with an unhappy look on his face.
"What happened last night seemed ordinary, but there was something fishy about it. I remember clearly that none of the three of us knew where we lived. I guess this was deliberately arranged by you, General Guo, right?" Sun Tu had already seen this, and Pharmacist Guo wanted to In order to prevent the three parties from causing conflict, they were deliberately placed in three different locations and sent separately, so that even if they really wanted to cause trouble, they would not be able to find their target.
But what happened last night made him know that there were loopholes in his arrangement, and the reason... Sun Tu pointed it out without mercy: "Obviously, all this was because someone disclosed our address to Liao and Jin. , so I don’t think they can really protect us wholeheartedly.”
"Then what do you want? Bring in troops from outside the city to protect yourself?" Medicine Master Guo asked immediately, but he was already prepared to refuse. Unexpectedly, Sun Tu shook his head again: "No, I can't trust anyone else. I can only trust Mr. Dong Kuang. So if General Guo really wants to show his sincerity, please transfer him to my place to help guard him. How about that?"
Pharmacist Guo's heart moved, and he suddenly had a doubt. Why did Sun Tu specifically ask Dong Kuang to come over? Immediately, he thought about what happened last night. It was Dong Kuang who arrived in time and saved the Song envoy. Is there some collusion between the two? Thinking of Dong Kuang's other identity made him even more suspicious.
But soon, he temporarily put aside these suspicions and nodded: "As you said, I will ask Dong Kuang to garrison here. Now General Sun will feel at ease, right?"
Sun Tu nodded: "This shows your sincerity. I will send people back to deliver the news. I believe that within a month, our Song Dynasty army will come to take over Zhuozhou."
It wasn't until Pharmacist Guo left with deep thoughts that Wu Song and others asked: "General, since you have seen that this person is unreliable, why bother to stay in Zhuozhou again?"
"Because we have to take this risk. Zhuozhou will influence the entire battle situation and we must win it." Sun Tu said solemnly.
"Then why do you have to point out his sinister intentions? Doesn't this make him wary?"
"This is just to increase the pressure on him. Also, these words were heard by the subordinates he brought just now. It will not be long before they reach the ears of the envoys from Liao and Jin. You said they will let it go. Is it manipulative? I did this just to be on the safe side, because I was afraid that some people might not understand the key."
After a pause, Sun Tu said again: "It is impossible to conquer the Ever Victorious Army peacefully this time, and you have to take some risks. And what I want to do now is, first, to cause chaos in Zhuozhou City, and second, It is to attract a military force that can stand with us. And Dong Kuang is the most suitable candidate." At this time, even the second question in everyone's mind was answered. It turned out that he wanted Dong Kuang to come over. There is another layer of intention.
However, if he can really win over this Dong Kuang, is he really willing to help Sun Tu and the others
This answer will soon be answered with the arrival of Dong Kuang in the afternoon...
