The defeat in this Cuju game really made the Song people in Tokyo unbelievable and unacceptable. Our team had such a big advantage in the first two quarters, but why did it become so defeated in the last quarter? Isn’t our Cuju the strongest? Are the players we played the game the best Cuju master among the imperial guards?

As a result, various statements were rampant, such as the Liao people making trouble behind the scenes, such as the Song Dynasty deliberately tolerated the Liao people to give face on purpose, and it was even rumored that this was the result of some big dealers who started gambling games behind the scenes. Of course, these statements do not have any empirical evidence, and things have come true, so there is no chance to go back on their word.

So except for a small number of gamblers who planned to spend money to buy Liao people who won, only those opening dealers expressed great agreement with the result. After all, they had gained a lot of wealth from it, and this joy had already overwhelmed the unwillingness to their own country's defeat on the court.

Then, another news that excited them even more quickly spread - because Sun Tu expressed in front of the emperor that this defeat was not a war, and believed that he could lead a brand new Cuju team to defeat the Liao people, so a new game will start again in five days.

The big dealers who received this exact news were overjoyed and immediately asked their subordinates to open the market again, waiting for the people in the city to bet and pay attention.

However, what the general public is concerned about is Sun Tu. Some time ago, someone swears that he had betrayed the Song Dynasty and surrendered to the Liao people. Why did he suddenly jump out and fight for the Song Dynasty to win and lose on the field with the Liao people? Which statement is the truth?

As the government officials also reported that Sun Tu would indeed reorganize the Cuju team within the next few days, everyone finally believed that he did have a firm heart for the country. Since he was willing to do this, it was naturally impossible to surrender to the Liao people. There must be some misunderstandings in the previous statement.

Ordinary people always have simple ideas, often either this or that. Now I find that Sun Tu is determined to serve the country. Sun Dutou, who had almost become a rat crossing the street, has turned into a hero in everyone's mind again. Many people even regret it secretly. Why did they get so confused about the lard at the beginning, and they actually believe that good officials like Sun Dutou who are dedicated to serving the people would do shameless acts like treason?

However, at this time, Sun Tu had no time to consider what ordinary people were about him. He was busy reorganizing a Cuju team that could fight against the Liao people. Obviously, it was not appropriate to completely select Cuju masters from the army, because one was the strongest player to be selected in the imperial guards, and the other was that after experiencing this great defeat, the beliefs of these people would inevitably be shaken. The last point, and the most important thing is that with his identity as a ninth-rank military officer, it was impossible for those generals in the military to obey the arrangements. After all, as long as a general was pulled from the imperial guards, the official position would only be higher than him.

So after some trade-offs, Sun Tu decided to leave only three of them for his own use, and he would look for the others from outside.

After the next game was a foregone conclusion, Sun Tu and Yaer completely separated from the Liao people, then went to meet Tong Guan and obtained a certificate from the Privy Council from the other party, so that the appropriate talents could be selected from the more than one million soldiers and civilians in Tokyo.

When he handed the certificate to Sun Tu solemnly, he had always been very cunning and could not see any joy and anger, and he looked at Sun Tu with a serious expression for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything, but just said softly: "You, please do it yourself!"

Sun Tu also took the certificate solemnly and bowed deeply: "The officials will do their best to win this victory!" He also knew that he had no way out in this battle. If he wins, everyone will be happy, and it can even be considered a great contribution to the court. But if he loses, the crime will be a big deal. Not only will the enemy completely turn it out and make a big fuss, but everyone will also pour out all the anger of the defeat of the Song Dynasty on him. Fighting for merit and scapegoating is a compulsory course for officials in the court. Even the backer in front of him will probably put in the wrong hands to protect himself.

However, Sun Tu was not afraid. He believed that with his thousand years of football knowledge than the people of this era, as a pseudo-fan, he would definitely lead the team to success. Moreover, high risks also mean high returns. After making contributions, the official position he has been suppressed by others should also change.

When Sun Tu left, Tong Guan glanced at Fang Qian who was coming over: "He is a smart person and an ambitious person. I really hope he can succeed. See what kind of path this kid can take!"

After obtaining this certificate, Sun Tu did not go to the army to pick people, but went straight to the east of the city. He found Yang Zhi who was still waiting for him, and said, "Brother Yang, your opportunity is in front of me."

Yang Zhi naturally knew about the series of recent changes. He was a little surprised when he saw Sun Tu who suddenly appeared. He asked: "Sanlang, do you mean the Cuju competition? Although I have participated in several Cuju games in the army before, I believe that my strength is not a match for Zhao Tianyao and others."

"It's okay, as long as you understand Cuju, you have been practicing martial arts for many years, it's enough. I'll explain the details to you later. Let's go see someone first." Sun Tu said with a big conspiracy and asked Yang Zhi to go out with him.

Although Yang Zhi still had doubts in his heart, he knew that this was an excellent opportunity, so he immediately followed Sun Tu out and headed straight to Xiangguo Temple. What Sun Tu wanted to see next was naturally Lu Zhishen.

"Sanlang is very famous in Beijing recently, and he is known to everyone." After seeing Sun Tu, Lu Zhishen grinned. As Sun Tu's friend and brother, he naturally kept paying attention to his situation until he saw him appearing safely in front of him.

It is said that two days ago, Cheng Yayu was sent by him to the Liao embassy to find Sun Tu to find out, but he could not even find the shadow of the latter. This made Lu Zhishen worried about him for a long time.

"Brother Lu, I won't go around in any circle today. After all, time is limited, so I'm here to ask you for help. I wonder if you are willing to go out with me and defeat the Liao people in the Cuju field?" Sun Tu asked straight to the point after meeting.

Lu Zhishen laughed: "It's interesting. I didn't expect you to invite Sa's family to Cuju. Although Sa's family didn't play much, they would also play some. I thought about how many games I had fought with the thieves in Xixia when I was in Weizhou. I used to think about when I could fight with the Liao people. Now it seems that the first battle with them is to be on the Cuju field."

Just after hearing what he said, Sun Tu knew that the other party had responded to the matter, so he laughed: "With Brother Lu here, I think our chances of winning will be higher this time."

Yang Zhi looked at Lu Zhishen, who had a thick and bold face but was naked, but his eyebrows were still locked: "Sanlang, I have heard you talk about Brother Lu's martial arts skills, but Cuju is not as good as an ordinary fight. You arrange your staff like this..."

"Brother Yang, don't worry. This time I want to choose someone like Brother Lu and you who may not be too proficient in Cuju, but have outstanding physical strength. Don't worry, this victory or defeat is related to my own future, and I will not do anything randomly." Sun Tu smiled and comforted the other party, and then said: "And I believe that I have found the weaknesses of those Liao people. As long as this team is under my control, there will be a chance of winning in this battle of 80% or 90%."

"Since that's the case, then Brother Yu will follow your instructions." Yang Zhi was also a readily person and nodded immediately. However, in comparison, it was not as good as Lu Zhishen's trust in Sun Tu. He never doubted Sun Tu's words from beginning to end. As long as the other party invited him, he would agree.

After saying goodbye to these two people, Sun Tu rushed to the public security office and found Shen Liang and Cui Lueshan. The two of them were naturally concerned about Sun Tu's return safely, and then asked him about the authenticity of Cuju. Sun Tu nodded without hesitation and admitted: "Yes, this is the reason why I came to you today. Are you willing to follow me to fight for fame and wealth?"

After looking at each other, the two loyal subordinates nodded and responded: "All things are left to the command!"

"Okay, then you will meet in front of the school grounds tomorrow morning. I will let you know why I have the confidence to win this Cuju match." Sun Tu nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

The next day, when Sun Tu brought his newly-launched Cuju team into the stadium for practice and explanation, Yelu Jian from the Liao embassy was also listening to people's reports of the information they had just collected.

Although he was annoyed by Sun Tu's sudden rebellion, he didn't take it too seriously. After all, his main purpose of coming to Tokyo this time was to attract those who were hiding in the dark. Now that the goal has been achieved, the Xixia period is already in control, and he will only wait to return to China before dealing with the follow-up.

The next target has actually been mostly completed to hit Song people's anger. He really doesn't believe that Song people can beat their own family in the new round of Cuju competition. As for Sun Tu, he is just a big deal. It is natural to have it. Even if he cannot conquer him, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

However, he had always been cautious and sent someone to investigate Sun Tuzi's movements after taking on this matter yesterday. Now after hearing that, he frowned slightly: "A monk, an unsuccessful former military officer, and several subordinates of Kaifeng Prefecture, he really felt that these few people could beat the Cuju team that I had cultivated for several years in the Liao Dynasty? If I had not used some means to be safe, even if I fought with the strongest Cuju team of the Song people head-on, they would not have been at a disadvantage!"

But the more unreasonable the matter was, the more he felt strange and uneasy: "What is Sun Tu's gourd selling? It seems that you can't be careless, you must remind them!"
