Li Kui's sudden attack was indeed beyond everyone present. Sun Tu never thought that he would take action suddenly, which made a trace of murderous intent suddenly flash in his eyes.

Song Jiang was even more shocked and immediately roared: "Tie Niu stops, don't be rude!" He had already noticed Sun Tu's dissatisfaction and beating with him. If Li Kui takes the blame again, the consequences would be too serious.

But Li Kui was already angry at the heart at this time. He could not stop easily once he took action. In the blink of an eye, he had already punched Sun Tu, and he was about to implement it. Suddenly, a person flashed behind Sun Tu, holding his powerful punch with one hand and tilted his powerful punch to the side. At the same time, his body moved and followed him, pushing and leaning on his shoulder, and knocking a solid man of more than 100 pounds back, screaming strangely.

Sun Tu, who wanted to take the opportunity to take action, could only attract but not send it. He looked at the young guard who rushed out to protect him with some appreciation. This person was Yue Fei!

As a personal soldier who was taken by Sun Tu, Yue Fei had fully fulfilled his duties at this time. He had resolved Li Kui's seemingly fierce sneak attack in just one meeting. With a few quick counterattacks, he had already beaten him backwards step by step, screaming strangely, but he was helpless.

Although Yue Fei is still young, his martial arts skills are quite well-known as Zhou Tong's true teachings. They are far from being able to resist by a rude man like Li Kui who only relies on his strength but has little skills. In just a moment, he had hit several moves in his body, and one of the punches hit him in his dantian, which made him unable to breathe. He swayed and fell to the ground in a flash. It seemed that he would not be able to get up in a short period of time.

It was not until this time that the soldiers around him came to their senses from the shock. They didn't need anyone to give any instructions. They rushed forward and held Li Kui tightly while holding him down. At the same time, the generals around them showed strange expressions and swept them directly at Song Jiang and other Liangshan brothers to see how they reacted.

At this time, Song Jiang was already shocked and pale, but his mind was still clear. He hurriedly shouted: "Secretary, Song Jiang was not strict in discipline, so he indulged in this black guy's military law. If the Chief Secretary wants to blame, blame me. I will bear all the blame for Li Kui!"

Wu Yong, who was not involved in pleading for Song Jiang, hurriedly gave the others a wink, then took a step forward and asked Sun Tu for love: "The Chief Secretary, Li Kui is reckless and rude, and he values ​​loyalty the most, so he offended the will. I also ask the Chief Secretary to spare his life because he had made contributions before! I am willing to replace him with myself!"

"Secretary, we are willing to replace each other with our bodies, so please spare Li Kui's life!" Others who were surprised also came forward to plead with each other. Dozens of Liangshan brothers spoke at the same time, and the momentum was really quite large.

Sun Tu's face became even more ugly. He immediately saw the thoughts of these people. They were trying to protect Li Kui by the law and not ruling the public. Moreover, after they pleaded with such a mercy, even the other generals were not relieved. Sure enough, just a moment later, even Shi Wengong, Lu Junyi and other generals who had some rifts with Song Jiang and others came forward to plead: "The commander, the enemy is in front. At this time, killing the brothers in the army due to a small matter will eventually hurt morale. Please think twice."

It turned out that the trusted generals in the Qingzhou army did not speak at this time, staring at these people who forced Sun Tu, especially the Li Kui who dared to offend Sun Qian, wishing to teach him some lessons now.

Sun Tu's face was shady and he was making rapid contributions in his heart. Li Kui's move did have a very fast impact. If he did not punish him, it would only break the rules of his army. But if he really insisted on killing him alone now, it would cause the hearts of a large number of people such as Song Jiang, and even make them resentful. The consequences would be even more serious. At the least, the morale of the army was shaken, and at the worst, the Shandong army was completely divided!

It was not until this time that Sun Tu began to regret why he had to absorb all the people of Liangshan into his army. He just underestimated Water Margin, so he still liked and respected them, so he thought that he could lead them to achieve success... But in fact, these people are used to being thieves, so how could they just follow their orders?

His mind quickly turned, and a decision had already emerged. He silenced his face and said, "Since these many people pleaded for him, it is difficult for me to refute everyone's face, so I will not kill Li Kui. But he does not defend the military law first, and the following crimes are punished by the death penalty, and the living crime cannot be escaped! The person who comes stripped him naked and blamed him for one hundred and fifty military sticks and showed him for three days! And Song Jiang, since you want to punish him, you will add twenty military sticks, a total of one hundred and twenty military sticks. Are you convinced?"

"I..." Song Jiang suddenly felt a sudden twitch when he heard this. He was already in pain after a dozen sticks. If he really got 120 sticks, he would have to take half of his life even if he didn't die. He would have to be able to get rid of the ground for several months. But after facing Sun Tu's eyes with cold light, he did not dare to bargain anymore, so he could only say in a muffled voice: "Bei Zhi was convinced and willing to be punished."

"The Chief..." When the other Liangshan brothers heard this heavy punishment, they became a little anxious. They waited for further advice, but were rudely interrupted by Sun Tu: "There are rules in the army, and I have already treated them lightly for you. If there are any more people who dare to speak out, they will be punished with the same crime as them!"

With the power of Sun Tu, even these brave Liangshan brothers were all silent. They didn't dare to say anything more. They could only watch Song Jiang and more than ten people lined up and received severe punishment from military sticks. The sound of the thumping sticks made everyone frightened, and they also asked them to examine Sun Tu and his own identity again, understanding that some things could not be done.

After suppressing the Liangshanpo people in the army, Sun Tu's expression calmed down a little. He looked at his soldiers who had already walked out of the military tent and looked at his soldiers with some anxiety. Seeing that they were still wearing thin clothes and trembling in the cold wind, Sun Tu's face became a little bit self-blame again: "I am incompetent, and I have made my brothers suffer, but don't worry, I will get you winter clothes soon, so I will definitely not let you freeze again!"

Next, it’s time to show kindness to gain morale!

Sun Tu did not delay any further, immediately led a team of personal guards and walked straight towards the Huainan Military Camp a few miles away.

Seeing Sun Tu leading the team, the soldiers in the Huainan military camp showed panic, and some people subconsciously picked up swords and guns, as if the other party was not the official army walking with them, but the Fang La anti-army opposite. Until a general shouted, these panicked soldiers put down their weapons awkwardly. Sun Tu put too much pressure on them.

Even though he was guilty and uneasy, since Sun Tu had come, Peng Yongzhen couldn't avoid it. He could only bite the bullet and greet the gate with a hypocritical smile: "Why did Chief Sun come to my camp so soon? I'm planning to come over to visit you later."

"Haha, Mr. Peng is determined, it's actually no difference whether you go or I come. Since I have something to look for you, it's natural that I should come here." Although Sun Tu smiled, there was no smile in his eyes. Even his cold eyes made Peng Yong really feel cold. He could only smile and invite him into his tent.

The two of them sat down. Peng Yongzhen was about to exchange a few greetings with him. When he was having a good relationship, Sun Tu had already stepped in and asked a question that changed his face: "Master Peng Qian, what was the battle here in the city of Zhou in the day? Why did I receive two completely different battle reports? Is it the one who repelled the rebels this time that was the credit of my Shandong soldiers, or your Huainan army?"

"This..." Peng Yongzhen was so guilty when asked directly by Sun Tu and was stared at by Qiru's substantial gaze. The words that should have been said were just a word, and he was sweating even more on his forehead.

After a while, he stammered: "This matter... there should be some misunderstanding in this matter. In fact, the battle in Changzhou was the result of the joint cooperation between our two sides. Naturally, everyone has made contributions."

"Is that so? Then why did you not tell the truth in the battle report you sent to Jinling, not only took all the credit, but also complained to Zhu Shuai, saying that our Shandong soldiers were afraid of the enemy, which led to the failure to do their best in this battle?" Sun Tu asked calmly, without seeing any joy and anger.

Peng Yongzhen was even more panicked. After a while, he said, "There is such a thing? Why am I completely unaware of it? The battle report was all led by the coach Zhao, who was by Zhu Shuai, who was beside me. Maybe he wrote the writing incorrectly for a moment?" He suddenly found a way to shirk his breath and then said loudly: "Come on, go and invite Counselor Zhao Zhao to speak."

After hearing his poor reason, Sun Tu looked down on him even more. As the commander of the first army, this person was so unresponsible that no wonder the Huainan Army was so unbearable as a whole. After all, it was a beggar.

He smiled coldly and said, "Didn't you expect Chief Peng to delegate power so much? You can only let a counselor take his own initiative even if you are just watching the military affairs. This is really an eye-opener."

Faced with such ridicule, Peng Yongzhen still laughed and did not dare to have any attacks. After seeing Sun Tu and Zhu Xie dared to threaten him, and the powerful combat power of the Shandong Army, he did not dare to turn against him because of this small matter. Anyway, no matter how big the matter is, he was forced to do so, so just pretend to be stupid.
