635 Xie Mo
Similar to Zhu Xie, who holds the right to live and die in countless people, but looks like a deputy businessman, Xie Mo, a famous man in Jiangnan, also has some disagreement. He is not a literati with extraordinary demeanor, nor a handsome young man with a handsome face, but an ordinary man in his thirties and gains weight.
However, Sun Tu's appearance made him stand out, including the Zhou brothers, and they were a little frightened when they heard Sun Tu's slightly annoyed words. However, Xie Mo stepped forward and stood in front of everyone, and calmly smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I'd like to ask Sun Qian to forgive me. This is what they did, but it has nothing to do with their brothers."
"Oh? Why did you make such arrangements?" Sun Tu narrowed his eyes, looked at the other party carefully for a moment and asked, "Isn't my sincerity enough?"
"After all, it is related to the life and death of more than 400 villagers. I have to be careful. If you hide something in this matter or have other intentions, I may regret it if I don't keep one move." Xie Mo looked back at Sun Tu, but seemed extremely calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
Sun Tu smiled and accepted the other party's explanation. Then he looked at Tong Mu beside him: "Second brother, are you relieved now?"
"It seems that I have really underestimated Qianli. I thought you were being used by Zhu Jie's plan." Tong Mu smiled with shame, and then clasped his fists at Xie Mo: "Young Master Xie, this period of time has caused you to be wronged."
"It's nothing to suffer. I just thought about placing many villagers and I feel uneasy after all. By the way, does Tong Tutor know what's going on in Jinling City now?" Xie Mo and Tong Mu had some friendship before, and it was natural to ask each other at this time.
Tong Mu smiled bitterly: "What else can be done? It's the same. Since I thanked you, Mr. You and everyone to go up the mountain, Zhu Jie and the others became more and more scrupulous, and the people naturally suffered more. The Fang La anti-army in the south is also planning to go further. Now the situation in Jiangnan is becoming more and more tense."
Xie Mo glanced at Sun Tu again after hearing this: "I have heard of the name of Sun Qian's master in Jiangnan. I wonder if you have any plans to pacify Jiangnan?"
Of course, Sun Tu couldn't talk about his plan with such a guy he had just met in front of many people, so he just smiled and said, "I am just here to quell the rebellion under the order of the court. As for the overall situation in Jiangnan, I cannot decide."
Hearing this, Xie Mo smiled clearly: "I believe that with the character and ability of Chief Sun, he will definitely help the people of Jiangnan through this disaster. Just from your actions to these villagers this time, I will let people know that you are different from other officials and generals. I wonder if I can say a few words to the general alone?"
"It's OK, Mr. Xie, please." Sun Tu heard some other meaning from his words. He thought that this person's reputation in Jiangnan must be of some use, so he did not refuse and took him out of the tent. As for Zhou Xuan and the others, they could only stay in the tent in a daze.
He said he was talking alone, but there was still a Tong Mu. Seeing that he followed him into the main tent of the Central Army, Sun Tu had no intention of expelling the guests, and just ordered Tang Feng to take his men to guard outside the tent and not let anyone get close.
Until it was confirmed that the conversation here would not be known to the fourth person, Sun Tu looked at the other party and asked, "Mr. Xie is famous in Jiangnan. I believe that he will respond to the call when he climbs high school, but why don't he do anything to save the people?"
Xie Mo smiled and shook his head: "General Sun means to let me follow the example of Fang La and others, and also rise up in Jinling? But I am not so stupid as to this point. If I do this, I am afraid that my life will be difficult to protect. This is not saving the people, but harming the people."
"Oh? Why did you say this?" Not only Sun Tu, but also Tong Mu was curious about it.
"Haha, both of you understand. In your opinion, Fang La can really succeed in Jiangnan? Don't look at his aggressive momentum and his army is in full swing. It is said that he has gathered more than 200,000 troops. It seems that he is going to swallow the entire Jiangnan Road in one go, but will he really be the opponent of the court?
"In my opinion, this is clearly a whim. Even if there are many money in the corner of Jiangnan, it is not a match for the court? He had encountered the Jiangnan Xiang army, which had been abandoned and corrupt, so he won again and again. But in fact, it really caused the court to fight with all his might. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers under him were just mobs, hitting stones with eggs."
Sun Tu looked at the other party in surprise. He really didn't expect Xie Mo to be sober. He could see Fang La's anti-army strong and powerful force. He probably might not even understand the Jiangnan officials like Zhu Xie and many important officials in the court.
As if she was afraid that Sun Tu would not believe what he said, Xie Mo said again: "The people in Jiangnan have always been weak, luxurious, and good at literary affairs. Perhaps when forced to do so, the people can still resist. But if they really encounter strong enemies, most people will probably retreat and scatter. So although Fang La is now full of momentum, it is because he has been smooth sailing since the rebellion. Once he encounters setbacks, everything he has established will collapse in an instant. So in my opinion, Fang La will inevitably be defeated, and it will not take too long."
As he said that, he pointed at himself again: "As for me Xie Mo, although Bo has a good reputation, he also knows how much he has. Even if he can really let the people follow me, I don't have the ability to lead them to capture cities and states like Fang La. Why should I harm others and myself?
"To be honest, if I hadn't been forced by those officials and the Zhou brothers this time, I wouldn't have taken my fellow villagers to Qixia Mountain. So General Sun wouldn't test me with this. I'm just a false reputation and useless."
After hearing his words, Sun Tu not only did not underestimate the other party, but instead felt even more respectful. He couldn't help but hold his fists solemnly: "Mr. Xie is indeed a sensible person, and I admire him."
It is rare for people in this world to see through changes in the situation, and what is even more rare is those who can understand their strengths and weaknesses on this basis. People like this are great wise people, and Xie Mo, who looks unfavorable, is very wise.
Even Tong Mu couldn't help but praise: "He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise. Mr. Xie is indeed extraordinary, and I admire him."
"Haha, it's just that I can see more clearly than ordinary people. In addition, I'm timid by nature, so I naturally don't dare to cause trouble." Xie Mo smiled and then turned his face solemn: "But General Sun, now the situation in Jiangnan is like fire. If he lets Zhu Xie and Fang La continue to make trouble, it will be a great harm to the people and the Song court. By then, the dead are all over the country and the towns are withered, which is not a blessing for the world." Obviously, this is the key point he wanted to talk to Sun Tu alone.
Sun Tu glanced at him thoughtfully: "Young Master Xie's thoughts on worrying about the country and the people are indeed admirable, but Sun Tu is just a commander of a military commander and is not an official in Jiangnan. What's the use of telling me about these?"
Xie Mo looked at him with a smile: "Do you know why General Sun didn't let the Zhou brothers tell me the truth before? To be honest, this is a test to see if General Sun is really a hero who stands tall and upright, and a person who can benefit the people."
"Oh?" Sun Tu responded without comment, but did not interrupt the other party's words. Xie Mo continued: "Now it seems that General Sun is indeed extraordinary. In this way, I have found a savior who can solve the upside down of the people of Jiangnan." As he said that, he had already stood up solemnly and bowed down: "I hope General Sun can take action with righteousness and eliminate troubles for the people of Jiangnan to relieve troubles and worry!"
Sun Tu really didn't expect the other party to do this. He was stunned at first, and then quickly stepped forward and helped the person up: "Young Master Xie, don't have to do this. Even if you don't say it, since I have led my army here, I should try my best to quell the rebellion..."
"What I refer to below is not just Fang La's disaster, but Zhu Xie!" Xie Mo stood up and said bluntly: "If this person is not eliminated, I will not have peace in the south of the Yangtze River!"
"This... he is an important official in the court, and I'm afraid I am powerless." Sun Tu said refuted.
"With General Sun's ability and your elite troops, it is difficult to eliminate harm for the people." Xie Mo said with a confident look: "What's more, this will be of great benefit to General Sun."
Seeing that Sun Tu was silent, he felt a little more confident in his heart and continued: "As I said just now, the people in Jiangnan are weak and not conducive to joining the army, but this is a wealthy, wealth, and food. If General Sun can save the people, he will be regarded as a hero by the people of Jiangnan. At that time, the money, pay and logistics in your army will no longer be a problem. Even if the general's troops and horses will be expanded several times later, as long as the people of Jiangnan are supported, it will not be a problem.
"And, as long as the two major disasters of Fang Zhu are eliminated, Jiangnan can be your hands as General Sun. At that time, you can rely on this and recruit heroes from all over the world. It is not difficult to show your ambitions and ambitions!"
When Sun Tu heard it in the end, he not only did not get excited, but instead felt cold in his heart. His hands were already on the hilt: How could this guy see what he was thinking and even said this thought directly?
Even Tong Mu changed his face at this time, because he didn't know that Sun Tu had such ambitions, but thinking about what he had done in the past seemed very reasonable. Could it be that Sanlang really had the intention to replace the Song Dynasty court?
Sun Tu's voice became cold, and his face turned cold: "Why did Mr. Xie say this? Who did you think of me, Sun Tu?"
