On the fifth day of the 10th month of the second year of Chonghe in the Song Dynasty, Sun Tu, the governor of our prefecture, returned to Qingzhou City, and had a drastic change.

At the end of Yin and early Mao, Sun Tu led his army without bloodshed and knocked into the city easily. He immediately rushed straight to the government office and captured 278 officials below the governor Murong Yanchao.

Then the soldiers of the wings came out in all directions and captured all the families of the officials' houses. At the end of the Chen Dynasty, more than 700 people had been taken, and more than 500 officials and their families were escorted and tied up on the cross streets of Qingzhou City.

This action immediately attracted the attention of the whole city. When they found that these officials entering the city did not disturb the ordinary people, many people had already plucked up the courage to go out to investigate the news. When they went out, they saw a row of officials and their families being forced to kneel on the ground. Everyone stood behind them with a government soldier with a straight eyebrows and a sharp blade in his hands. It was self-evident what they would do next.

Then, several soldiers walked through the streets and alleys in the city, and loudly announced the various crimes committed by these officials to all directions: "Now, the officials and others in Qingzhou colluded with the bandits of Erlongshan, killed our Qingzhou army and killed our Qingzhou people. Fortunately, Sun Tu, the chief of Qingzhou, led his army to rectify the chaos and break his conspiracy. Now, he is in charge of the order of the chief of the chief of the chief of the chief of the chief of the chief of the chief of the chief of the chief of the army to warn the world, to calm the hearts of the people, to comfort the soldiers who died, so he executed 527 government officials and their families involved in this matter!"

When these words were heard by the people of every household, the whole city was shocked, and many people couldn't believe their ears. Sun Dujian was too brave, and he really dared to kill more than 500 people together? And many of them were officials from Qingzhou Prefecture?

But the facts told them that Sun Tu really dared to do such a thing. After proclaiming the charges of these people clearly, with his order, hundreds of soldiers in the crossroads had raised their swords high. Although they were crying, insulting, or cursing with the people in front of them, they did not hesitate at all. They quickly picked up the sword and slashed them down.

Whether it was the soldiers of the Xiang army or the two mountains who surrendered to Sun Tu later, they were full of hatred for these government officials who almost killed themselves. Especially the former, many of their friends and even relatives died that night by Murong Yanchao's plot and assassination of the government officials. Now that they have the opportunity to take revenge, they naturally will not hesitate at all, and even feel a little relieved.

Suddenly, blood flashed and the heads fell to the ground. Hundreds of people settled accounts at this moment. This not only included the families of officials who seemed to be implicated, but also several important officials in Qingzhou Prefecture - the prefect Murong Yanchao, the Tongzhi Fang Ping, and the Promoter Shen Bian...

In fact, before the heads fell, they still felt a little lucky in their hearts. They felt that Sun Tu had not had the courage to commit suicide without authorization, and thought that he was just doing this and threatening everyone.

It was not until someone sent an order that they realized that Sun Tu was really determined to kill him this time. This made Murong Yanchao terrified and cursed before his death: "Sun Tu, if you dare to kill my official position without a king or a father, you will definitely be despised by all generations. One day, the court will destroy your entire family, and you will definitely not be able to do it--"

He could not shout out the last word "death", because the quick knife behind him had fallen down, cutting his head flat. At the same time, other people around him also fell down with their heads falling to the ground, and the blood flowing out of the polo quickly spread and gathered together, and then slowly rushed towards the low point in front, and soon gathered into a pool of blood in the low-lying part of a street.

The pungent bloody smell has not dissipated over the entire Qingzhou City for a long time, which shocked the people. They truly knew the tragic battles in the officialdom and the ruthless methods of this young Sun Dujian. He is even more ruthless than the prefect Murong, who was once known for his ruthlessness!

In fact, since Sun Tu came to Qingzhou in June and July, the dispute here has never stopped. The control of Qingzhou City has changed hands several times, and the government and the Xiang army have fought several times. In the end, it has changed from secret struggles to open disputes, which eventually led to a series of tragic disasters.

Grab military rations, break into government offices, kill the wings, and until the execution of officials in the city today... This kind of thing that no one dared to imagine in the past was actually staged one by one in just a few months, until the failed party finally broke down and died. This brought too much shock to the people in the city, and finally made everyone understand a truth: Sun Dujian has truly become the master of Qingzhou City this time.

Qingzhou, I am the main one!

A few days later, when the bodies were all processed and buried, the smell of blood in the city gradually dissipated, and some rumors spread among the people of Qingzhou - Sun Dujian was reincarnated by Yan Luo, who came to the world of Song Dynasty to commit murder. Not only here, but also many people died because of him in Jiangzhou, and even in Tokyo Bianliang, and he even had a name, Iron-faced Yan Luo!

The name of Sun Yanluo was thus flourishing among the people. Although no one dared to call Sun Tu this on the surface, in secret, even ordinary soldiers called him that. Of course, this does not mean that the soldiers had any opinions about Sun Tu. On the contrary, this behavior completely won the hearts of the entire army, including those newly surrendered bandits, who also obeyed the young governor.

The military always emphasizes strength. Once a general not only has outstanding abilities, but also can think about what the soldiers think and worry about what the soldiers are anxious about, it will be easier to get their love and support. Sun Tu obviously did both of them to the extreme.

He dared to fight against the prefect as a mere chief, and he would win every battle. He was able to lead the Fang army to fight continuously, and tie the two thieves and bandits that had been entrenched in Qingzhou for many years, and finally he could lead his troops back to Qingzhou in time to regain the initiative... No matter who can do one of these things, it is better than more than 80% of the generals in the world, not to mention that Sun Tu did all of them in just a few months. Now, in the minds of the soldiers, Sun Dujian is one of the few famous generals in the world.

More importantly, Sun Tu put the interests of the soldiers first and dared to stand up for his brothers. This time, he even went into the government office to seek justice for those brothers who died, killing all the relevant people. This made the soldiers in the army even more devoted to him.

So even though many people know that this will cause endless troubles, no one in the Qingzhou army has a desire to deviate. They all believe that as long as Sun Dujian is in one day, the Qingzhou army will not be dispersed, and it will still make everyone stand upright and stand proudly on this Qilu land.

When all this spread rapidly to the territory outside Qingzhou, the officials and soldiers there also developed a respect for Sun Tu. Many soldiers of the Song Dynasty suffered a lot of grievances because of the imperial court's national policy of valuing civil and suppressing military affairs, but they had no way to complain. Now, with this chaos in Qingzhou, everyone naturally saw a glimmer of hope. Many soldiers hoped that their superiors could stand up for themselves like Sun Dujian and support themselves and regain everything that should belong to them: property, dignity and reputation...

In the past ten months, Sun Tu's deeds in Qingzhou have spread throughout Shandong, making him an alien and unstable factor in the eyes of many officials, but also making him a great hero in the minds of many warriors. As for how to determine it in the end, it depends on the meaning of the court.

Of course, all this will not appear and be clear until several months later. After killing all the officials of the government office and completely taking over the power of Qingzhou, what Sun Tu has to do next is to stabilize the soldiers and civilians in Qingzhou Prefecture, and at the same time make full preparations for continuing to conquer and suppress the bandits who pacified Erlong Mountain.

However, this incident encountered great trouble from the beginning. On the night when Sun Tu killed all the people in the government office, a fire suddenly started to burn out of the government office's granary, burning a large amount of military rations that Murong Yanchao forcibly seized from the military camp a few days ago...

When Sun Tu was woken up at night and rushed to the granary, there was already a fire that had already soared into the sky. No matter how hard everyone used any means, they could not put out the fire. In the end, they could only look regretfully at the granary and the thousands of stones of food inside turned into ashes.

Sun Tu looked at the red fire, his eyes flashed with anger: "What the hell is going on? What's so important is that no one is defending it tightly?"

"The general is aware of the crime, so please punish the chief." The commander of the Bing Bandit C who was in charge of the relevant matters stood up with a remorse and replied: "Because the army has been fighting continuously for many days, and has been exhausted when they rushed back to Qingzhou at night. Moreover, they had already captured and executed all the thieves in the city, so the general thought that Qingzhou City was completely safe. When the generals of the generals returned to the camp to rest, only five people were left to guard the granary. But unexpectedly, they were all killed, and even the granary was lit..."

Sun Tu's eyes swept over everyone in front of him: "So, someone deliberately released this fire? You may guess who did it?"

"At present, the people who dare to do this are just two aspects. One is the remnants of Murong Yanchao's party, and the other is the bandits of Erlong Mountain. Especially the latter is more likely. After all, they should be very clear that when the Qingzhou matter is settled, they will have to use troops to them. At this time, setting fire to destroy our Qingzhou military rations will naturally gain a lot of time for them." Huang Wenbing quickly gave his own ideas.

At this time, Lin Chong added another point: "I heard from those who surrendered to Erlong Mountain that they would cooperate with the government officials that day because the village leader Deng Long was bewitched by a remnant of a horse-stealing remnant named Han Benshan. Before, in the battle of Dongshiju, he escaped and fled, so could he take advantage of the chaos to touch my Qingzhou City and set off this fire?"

Sun Tu nodded with a stern face and said, "These statements make some sense. Then what we need to do next is martial law throughout the city. No matter what the other party is from, he can no longer let him do it at will. In addition, do they think that setting this fire can slow down my action to suppress Erlong Mountain? I have decided to rest for half a month and send troops again. This time, we will completely flatten Erlong Mountain!"

"The chief magistrate, but the military rations have been burned, and the following daily needs may not be able to provide assistance. How can we still use wars?" Huang Wenbing immediately frowned and said. The reason why the troops and horses were going to move before they could move their food and grass was that he, a person who was not very good at military affairs, knew it well.
