When Dong Kuang came, Sun Tu was leisurely boiling water and making tea in the hall. As the water in the pot boiled, he was pouring the translucent boiling water with hot steam into a small teapot, watching the tea leaves grow with the water. He moved, exuding bursts of fragrance, and his face showed a calm and calm expression.
As his status improved and he grew older, Sun Tu gradually became interested in things related to self-cultivation. It's a pity that he was just a martial artist before and after time travel, so he was unfamiliar with writing and writing. In the end, he could only choose two things to cultivate his sentiment. One was fishing, and the other was making tea.
Fishing on the river allows people to put aside mundane things and focus solely on the river and the fishing rod. Making tea can relax the mood extremely through a series of procedures, paving the way for a big decision to be made next. Good roads. Now that he was in Zhuozhou, he couldn't go out fishing at will, so he could only make tea.
This whole set of tea-making tools was found by Sun Tu from the warehouse system. It was easy to carry around, but it was a little too eye-catching when it was taken out at this time, which made Dong Kuang's eyes change slightly. However, he is a calm and rational person who is almost indifferent. Even though he felt that things were a bit strange, he did not ask questions out of curiosity. He just fisted and said, "I have met General Sun. From now on, the safety of this place will be borne by the next force. "
"It's easy to say, thank you for your hard work, General Dong." Sun Tu smiled and pointed to the seat in front of him, gesturing for him to sit down and talk, and said: "Speaking of which, I have to thank General Dong for saving me, and it's Twice in a row. I feel ashamed that I have nothing to repay now. I can only thank you with a cup of tea." After saying that, he picked up the teapot, filled a small tea bowl with a bunch of green tea, and made another invitation. gesture.
Dong Kuang was not shy at all, and sat down immediately. He picked up the tea bowl and poured the tea into his mouth in one gulp without fear of burning it. Then he stared at Sun Tu's eyes. Although he didn't say anything, he already conveyed the questions in his heart. passed.
Sun Tu also picked up the tea bowl in front of him, blew it a few times, and then sucked the tea into his mouth. Then he said slowly: "General Dong feels a little strange. Why did I name you to come to guard?"
"I hope General Sun will tell you the truth." Dong Kuang's answer was as concise and powerful as the shot he fired before.
"I think if I said it was only for my own safety, General Dong would definitely not believe it." Sun Tu filled another cup of tea for both parties, but this time the other party did not serve the tea again, and his eyes remained unblinking. Staring at him, the meaning was very clear, and he wanted an answer.
"In this case, I can only tell the truth. General Dong, you saved me. I, Sun Tu, am grateful to repay my kindness. Naturally, I will also think of saving you and invite you here. It is for this reason." This." After a pause, he looked at her and said, "Because I believe there will be drastic changes in Zhuozhou soon, and then only you and I can protect ourselves and control the situation by cooperating!"
"Hmph, a drastic change? Aren't you the forces of the Three Kingdoms trying to annex my Zhuozhou? What does this have to do with my safety?"
"It doesn't matter? I think General Dong's astuteness will not fail to see that under the seemingly calm water in Zhuozhou, there is already an undercurrent. Once the undercurrent breaks out, it will inevitably be a huge wave, and then the entire Zhuozhou will be No guarantee, just a few thousand people
I'm afraid it's hard to protect myself. "
Seeing that the other party's expression finally changed, Sun Tu smiled again: "General Dong, in fact, you also know that you are in a delicate situation, so you have been deliberately keeping a low profile and not daring to express yourself too much. But you also need to know The truth is, sometimes your enemies won't let you go just because you pretend to be low-key, especially when something unexpected happens and they can't protect themselves, and they have long been suspicious of you... Even if you get along well with him on the surface, or even As father and son!"
This last sentence hit Dong Kuang's heart like a heavy hammer. Even though he had always been calm, his expression suddenly changed: "You..."
"Master Dong, there is no need to deny it in a hurry, because the facts are not something you can deny. You know this, I know it, and there are many people outside who know it. In the final analysis, the root of all this is that you are the son of Dong Xiu, and There are many secrets between Medicine Master Guo and your father. For the internal stability of the Ever Victorious Army, he can only keep you by his side in the past few years, and he has to pretend to attach great importance to trust. But what is he thinking in his heart? I think you should know better than me. Why have you always been so low-key? I didn’t even know there was such a person like you, even here, but here you are?”
Sun Tu's words were like a sharp knife, slashing at Dong Kuang's protective film, quickly cutting out cracks in this layer of disguise, making him feel more and more nervous, and he even forgot to deny it. and argued.
"If there hadn't been those changes at the beginning, he and his cronies would naturally be extremely reassured about you. If there hadn't been this change, you would still have been his subordinate who regarded him as his son and nephew, and the adopted father and adopted son complement each other. But now, everything has changed. Changed, Zhuozhou will definitely change in a few days, and by then, he will no longer have to worry, there will be many ways to attack you, and he will be able to taint you as someone with evil intentions afterwards, so that all the old troops your father left for you will I cannot avenge you. Of course, it is also possible that they will be completely eradicated like you by then. I think you should understand the kind of person Guo Yaoshi is. Once he takes action, he will never leave any consequences. "
Dong Kuang's complexion was very pale, and sweat was dripping from his forehead. He really didn't expect that one day he would be so embarrassed in front of a stranger, as if he had been stripped naked and looked at without any secrets. This made him feel guilty and he no longer dared to look directly at Sun Tu.
After a long while, he said hoarsely: "How dare you say that there will be drastic changes in Zhuozhou?"
Just this sentence is considered to be an admission of the correctness of Sun Tu's previous remarks about him. He, Dong Kuang, Dong Dalang, the son of Dong Clown, has indeed always been pretending to be submissive, and has always been hostile and wary of Pharmacist Guo! It was only because of their respective interests that the two sides did not break up, and they were always acting on their own!
Sun Tu, on the other hand, felt certain at this moment. Although he was 70% to 80% sure of what he said just now, after all, he was only inferring from the existing clues and had no definite evidence. But now, he can finally let go of this worry, and his expression becomes more and more solemn: "Isn't this obvious? Now the forces of the Song, Liao, and Jin Kingdoms are all in Zhuozhou, but Medicine Master Guo has always had the wishful thinking of taking advantage of all three. Reluctant to make up his mind. He looks smart, but is actually stupid.
, he is playing with fire and seeking death! "Now that I know the other party's true attitude, I don't have much worry about what I say.
"Just because of your adoptive father's decision, you conclude that there will definitely be chaos in Zhuozhou?" Dong Kuang's title could not be changed at the moment, and he was not prepared to change it.
"There is actually no problem with his ideas. The key lies in his ability and the ideas of his subordinates. Do you think that after our tripartite envoys arrive in Zhuozhou, they will be obedient and wait for him to make the final decision? Even if it is the most certain one, One party must be prepared, let alone the other two parties. Now that Guo Yaoshi is so greedy, what do you think the three of us will do? Since Zhuozhou is so important, it naturally cannot fall into the hands of Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun. No matter what, it has to be controlled by someone you can trust, do you understand what I mean?"
Dong Kuang's breathing suddenly became rapid: "You mean, someone has already colluded with your three-party envoys?"
"And he must be an important figure in the ever-victorious army. He at least has a certain degree of military power and city defense power, and is quite trusted by Pharmacist Guo!" Sun Tu's answer was decisive. The more determined his attitude was, the more intense the panic in the other party's heart became. Dong Kuang even subconsciously picked up the tea bowl and swallowed the half-warm tea because of his uneasiness.
When Sun Tu saw this action, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes: "This is not my guess, but can be known from the facts. Since Pharmacist Guo has been prepared for our three parties to attack each other early on, how can the Liao and Jin parties possibly How about finding my residence and launching a sneak attack? It might not be too difficult for the Liao people. After all, they have a few days to slowly look for opportunities, but what about the Jin people? They just arrived in Zhuozhou yesterday, and then they can do it at night If they came to the door accurately, someone must have informed them of the details of the city. If not, what else could it be if he had not colluded with them?"
Dong Kuang's expression changed again. He knew that Sun Tu's judgment was indeed reasonable. Someone in Changsheng Army had actually colluded with people from Liao and Jin behind Yaoshi Guo's back!
If you think about it carefully, this is a normal thing. After all, the situation of the Ever Victorious Army has not been very good. Especially in the past six months, Zhuozhou has almost become an empty and dead city. The food supply is already in front of you. Who doesn't want to find a good way out for themselves? Woolen cloth? No matter how great your loyalty is, it can't compare to your own family's survival.
"So in my opinion, Pharmacist Guo's self-righteous way of raising prices is a sign of stupidity because he cannot understand the situation. If it were me, I would have already chosen a force to join, which would have saved me a lot of trouble and saved myself. "
"What about you? Do you have any insiders here?"
"Well..." Sun Tu smiled, "This depends on whether you are wise enough, General Dong. Now we both benefit from cooperation. What I can tell you is that as long as chaos breaks out, we can unite our efforts. , it will definitely take the initiative in the city, and it is not too difficult to replace Guo Yaoshi. But I don’t know if you, Dong Dalang, have the determination and courage to cooperate with me and take the victorious army that should belong to you, no, the resentful army. , take it back to yourself?"
At the end of the sentence, Sun Tu's eyes were fixed on the other party, just like the poisonous snake that tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, he raised such a sensitive issue.
The answer lies in Dong Kuang's thought!
