Chapter 632: Chaos

Sun Tu still attaches great importance to Yue Fei, who turned the tide in history, became the first in the army at the intersection of the Song Dynasty, and was famous for thousands of years. This is not only reflected in his always keeping him by his side, allowing him to get more contact with important matters such as training and military use, but also in giving Yue Fei a chance to make contributions.

Whether it was asking Yue Fei to go to Bajiao Town to bring rescue soldiers, or this time sending him to contact the rioters hiding on Qixia Mountain and trying to convince them to surrender, it was a manifestation of Sun Tu's extreme trust in his ability and willingness to cultivate himself well.

However, after all, Yue Fei is still young now, and Sun Tu’s expectations for him are not too great, so he will let Wu Song and Lu Da, who are better at communicating with those suffering people, go with him. This will not only ensure Yue Fei’s safety, but also achieve the effect of double insurance and achieve the goal.

But from the result, Sun Tu still underestimated Yue Fei's talent, especially his eloquence. Because of the influence of some evaluations of Yue Fei in later generations, Sun Tu's mind fixed his views on this junior brother, thinking that he was a martial artist who was quick to act and clumsy to speak. But in fact, this was obviously a misunderstanding. In terms of eloquence, he was not inferior to those literati!

Just two days later, when they were sent to Qixia secretly, Yue Fei and the other two returned safely, and brought back two burly men with a depressed face, the two brothers Zhou Xuan and Zhou Chi, the leader of hundreds of chaotic people. When these two revealed their identities, even Sun Tu couldn't help but look at Yue Fei who was standing quietly below in surprise, with more praise in his eyes: "Did you come to discuss the matter on the mountain?"

Before Yue Fei could speak, Lu Da laughed and said, "You are really the commander. This time, the Sa family and Erlang did nothing at all. They just accompanied Pengju to the mountain for a while, so the credit was all his. He was the one who was the one who found people on Qixia Mountain. It was really admirable."

Wu Song also nodded: "Yes, this is all the credit of Brother Yue alone, I dare not be greedy for merit."

"The two brothers are too humble. If you don't support me and have you, Yue Fei would not be able to finish the job, so if you talk about credit, everyone will be the same." Yue Fei hurriedly said modestly.

Sun Tu waved his hand: "One of you will have a share of merit, but Pengju, you can't escape this merit. By the way, how did you convince them to come down the mountain?" As he said that, he looked at the Zhou brothers standing a little further away. The two of them were willing to go down the mountain like this, which proved that they really believed that they could make decisions for them.

"In fact, you are famous enough in command. Your humble position is just to explain their situation clearly. If they continue to resist stubbornly, even if they hide on Qixia Mountain, they will not be able to escape the end of annihilation of the entire army." Yue Fei smiled low-key.

What he said was lightly, but in fact the situation was not so easy to deal with. At that time, they were surrounded by hundreds of chaotic people. If there was a slight disagreement, it might be a big battle. But even in this situation, the young Yue Fei was not timid and persuaded the chaotic people according to reason: "I know that you were forced to kill the officials and fled up the mountain to become chaotic people. But have you ever thought about it? Now that the Jinling area has annexed tens of thousands, and once the government is really determined to wipe out you, can this Qixia Mountain really help you protect yourself?" "So what if that is? Since we killed the officials and fled, we have put life and death aside!"

"Qiansun, our brothers have also heard of your name before. They know that you are a good official who can speak for the people and soldiers, so they are willing to take the risk of going down the mountain to see you. If you can really uphold justice for our fellow villagers and get rid of those harmful dogs, what if we give you our lives?" Zhou Chi also said, looking at Sun Tu fearlessly.

Obviously, Yue Fei’s statement before was really not self-righteous. A large part of the reason why the two brothers went down the mountain was due to their respect and trust in Sun Tu. Even Sun Tu himself did not expect that his reputation was so great that the soldiers here in Jinling would unconditionally believe that they could seek justice for them.

This made him feel that the responsibility on him was heavier, and his expression was solemn: "Is what you said true?"

"It's true. If there is a false statement, I will definitely tell my brother that he will die a bad death!"

"Then may you be afraid of everything in order to seek justice? Even if you are asked to go to Bianjing City and explain this matter in front of the monarchs and ministers of the dynasty?" Sun Tu asked again.

"What's the difficulty? We brothers can even take their lives, so what else are they afraid of?"

"Okay! Then let me ask you one last question, are you willing to believe me? Can those other people fully trust me Sun Tu?"

This question made the two of them slightly stunned, but soon they both said seriously: "We can do our best to convince the villagers. In fact, Master Sun, you also have a great reputation in Jinling. As long as you can make a guarantee, we will definitely not doubt it."

"If this is true, I hope you can go back and take the villagers on the mountain secretly down. Then I will send someone to bring you to hide in the army. As for what will happen next, I will make another arrangement. But there is one thing I can guarantee that as long as you believe me to go down the mountain, I, Sun Tu, will surely guarantee your safety!"

Sun Tu's request made the Zhou brothers stunned again. The risk of leading everyone down the mountain was really great. Once Sun Tu deceived them and they left Qixia Mountain with a complex terrain, there might be only one outcome.

But after facing Sun Tu's solemn look and thinking about his good reputation among the people, the two of them were a little moved. Because they also knew that staying on the mountain was like drinking poison to quench thirst, and there would be no good ending. Moreover, after these days of consumption, the food they had brought up the mountain was almost exhausted. If they continued to consume this, it would be difficult for these hundreds of people to stay on the mountain.

After some serious weighing, they finally bit their teeth: "We are willing to believe in Chief Sun, but we have to go back and discuss with the villagers before making a decision."
