Chapter 716 Crisis Sudden

Sun Tu suddenly woke up from his sleep, feeling his heart tightened, and it took him a while to calm down.

The uneasiness in his heart immediately made him get up from the couch, lift the curtain and walk out, and he realized that he had just entered the fourth update and had been going to bed for more than an hour before. This was a rare feeling he had before, and he felt that some crisis was approaching, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find any clues, but his sleepiness was gone.

At this time, Tang Feng, who was guarding not far ahead, rushed over quickly and asked with concern: "General, do you have any instructions?"

Sun Tu shook his head gently: "You walk around with me." He needed to think about suppressing the emotion in his heart as soon as possible, otherwise it would affect his subsequent military use and judgment. Tang Feng responded softly and walked around the camp with Sun Tu.

A hundred thousand troops were entrenched at the city of Huzhou, and the barracks were boundless and occupied twenty or thirty miles in a row. At this time, except for the soldiers who were guarding the night, everyone in the entire Song army camp had already fallen asleep, so it seemed particularly quiet. Only a few sounds of divine dou came, and the torches and bonfires were beating.

As the commander of the three armies, Sun Tu and the military camp of the Shandong Army were in the middle of the army, nearly ten miles away from Huzhou City. So when Sun Tu subconsciously looked over the other side of the city, he could only see a huge black outline standing there, but even the fire at the top of the city was inaccurate.

From this we can determine that the defenders should not be able to send troops to attack at night. In fact, when they first launched a full-scale attack on Huzhou, Pang Wanchun really tried to send two elite troops to launch a night attack, but Sun Tu made arrangements early in the morning, so that they not only did not make any profit but were injured and returned in a bad situation. Therefore, during this period, the Wu army never took the risk of going out of the city to fight. They just defended the city and made up their minds to consume the entire time with the Song army.

After swaying his head to dispel the doubts and anxiety in his heart, Sun Tu looked at Tang Feng who followed him step by step and said, "Fifteen, do you regret following me?"

Tang Feng, who had not been called this for a long time, was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly said: "What the general said? I am proud of being able to follow you. How could I regret it? If it weren't for your cultivation and promotion, I, Tang Shiwu, would have been just a rogue in Bianjing City today, and I might have died on the streets long ago."

Sun Tu smiled and said, "I just give you a chance. You earn everything today. But I want to thank you for saving Ya'er and me many times in a critical moment... But I can't really repay you, and now I have brought you and those brothers into a more dangerous situation. Many of the things I did in Shandong and Jiangnan are actually playing games with the court. Once there is a deviation, not only will I be ruined and die without a place to bury you, but you will be greatly affected..." Somehow, Sun Tu wanted to find someone to talk about the pressure in his heart, so he simply told the person he trusted the most.

Although Sun Tu has been decisive and acted rudely over the years, the pressure in his heart is actually greater than that of any one. He knew very well that everything he did was violated by the court, and if there was any mistake, it would be doomed. Moreover, he was not the only one who died, including Tang Feng, Dong Ping, Lin Chong and other trusted generals, including Yue Fei, who had just arrived by him, would be implicated, and even the entire Shandong army soldiers would not be able to escape.

But once some things are done, they are like arrows leaving the string, and there is no possibility of turning back. After he killed Gao Xiang, everything was destined. He forced his thoughts to be suppressed on weekdays without any expression, but for some reason, he couldn't help but tell them.

Tang Feng followed him silently for a while before whispering: "I only know that the general does all this for the people and for the brothers to survive better. I also believe that General, you will definitely let everyone live better!"

Sun Tu paused and looked back at him: "What if you find out in the future that what I do is different from yours?"

"The general will always see further than us. We just need to follow and obey." Tang Feng replied without hesitation: "If someone really dares to betray the general, I, Tang Feng, will not be the first one!"

Sun Tu laughed and shook his head when he heard this, but the doubts in his heart quickly faded. He believed that there must be many people in the Shandong army who think like Tang Feng, and he has already reached this point. Even if it is just for them, there is no possibility of regretting turning back! Then follow your heart and do something that may be a traitor in the eyes of many people. This is a one-way road without a way out. You can only keep moving forward and never give up until you achieve your goal!

After exhaling another breath of turbid air, Sun Tu's eyes became firm again, and his voice became much calmer: "Well, I really thought too much. Of course, the most important thing for us now is to take Huzhou first and quell the Jiangnan rebellion first. Go back, we should use some different means to attack the city today." He had already made a decision and could not be blocked from it anymore, so he had to take out the Polu bullet, which was used as a secret weapon. He believed that as long as this thing was sent to the top of the city and exploded in the crowd, the killing and intimidation of the defenders would be great, and maybe he could break the city in one fell swoop.

But just as he made up his mind and turned back, there was a noise from the north of the originally dark camp. Although it was a little distance, because the surrounding environment was too quiet, it still came. In a moment, several torches had moved quickly and came towards the Central Army.

This made Sun Tu's heart move again. Could it be that his anxiety just now came from this?

Shortly after he returned to his tent, the group rushed over. In addition to the several soldiers on Jingxi Road guarded at the north camp gate, these people also had three guys with a slightly embarrassed body covered with dust, blood and scars. Their faces were also filled with horror.

"What's going on? Where are you from?" Sun Tu asked after scanning them.

"When General Sun said, we are soldiers from Yanzhou Prefecture, and we were ordered to stay behind to escort food and grass..." The leader replied hurriedly: "Just two days ago, when our team was escorting food and grass here, we suddenly encountered an ambush. More than 3,000 brothers were killed by the enemy. We risked our lives to kill us and came to report the news!"

"What?" After hearing this, many generals who also heard the news showed panic. The supply of food and grass is the key to the army. Once there is a real loss, the consequences will be too serious.

"What the hell is going on? Let's talk about it slowly and explain it in detail." Song Jiang seemed very calm and said hurriedly and softly.

The man took a few breaths and then told the story. Although his expression ability was not very strong, everyone finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.

It turned out that just seven or eight days ago, another batch of grain arrived in Suzhou. Lu Junyi, who was ordered to stay behind and transport grain and grass logistics in the center, sent someone to ship it immediately and sent it here. For the sake of safety, he even sent Huang Xin, the second general of Wei Dingguo, to be responsible for the escort.

But as a result, just three days ago, when the grain transport team passed through a dangerous valley, they were ambushed by an enemy army. The opponent's troops were two or three times that of the grain transport team, and they had a geographical advantage. They suddenly came out and caught the grain transport team off guard.

Although Huang Xin and Wei Dingguo's two generals led their troops to fight, they were ultimately unable to resist the opponent's fierce killing method. Especially the opponent's main general, the two copper hammers were more fierce and brave than the two generals. After dozens of rounds, they killed two masters in the original Liangshanpo.

Subsequently, this team of grain escorts, which were combined by a small number of Shandong troops and many other officials, quickly disintegrated. Not only were the food and grass completely taken away by the enemy, but there were also heavy casualties. Only now did the three men risk their lives to break through and find a hidden place to hide, and then they were able to escape and bring the news back to the army.

After this person finished speaking, many generals' faces became extremely gloomy, and Song Jiang even showed a deep look of pain: "Brother Huang, he actually... I, Song Jiang, must kill this person and avenge the brothers!"

Sun Tu sighed: "It seems that we underestimated the enemy too much after all, and actually emptyed the way out. This is my responsibility." It was not until this time that he suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake by leaving the army in Huzhou.

Although Huzhou is north of Hangzhou and the last strong city before Hangzhou, from a geographical point of view, this is not the necessary road to enter Hangzhou. Therefore, once the anti-army troops from Hangzhou send troops north, as long as they move around the small path, there is a great possibility that the scouts who have been sent out have appeared behind the army without hiding it.

Once they really do this, it will be dangerous to fight the grain transport team from Suzhou, and even Suzhou may be attacked by enemy troops. If they really get them to retake Suzhou, their 100,000 troops will be cut off here.

At this time, the other generals quickly understood. They all looked nervous but didn't know what to do, so they all turned their eyes to Sun Tu. Since he was the de facto commander of this army, when something went wrong, he had to take it all out.

"The robbery of food and grass is just a trivial matter. Once the food route is cut off, our army will be in danger. Therefore, we must send troops back to the rescue immediately. We must hurry up and wipe out the anti-army army in the rear before things are out of control!" Sun Tu immediately gave his opinion, and then swept to the generals in front of him: "Who can lead the troops there?"
