Chapter 21 The strategy of breaking the thief

The situation on the mountain was critical and dark, and Sun Tu couldn't see the person in front of him clearly. He only knew that the other party was also Minzhuang who was forced to attack the mountain like him. Seeing that he was trapped in danger, he naturally saved him. But now, he knew that he had worked hard to save him, but after he felt uncomfortable.

Zhang Chuan, who was in a terrified state, finally recognized that it was Sun Tuhou who saved his life, and his face changed several times. He was really scared when he was on the mountain just now. Compared to this battle, the previous fight in the county town was nothing, and he finally understood how incompetent and cowardly he was.

Thinking that Sun Tu not only had great martial arts, but also could help him without grudges, it made him feel ashamed and grateful. After his face turned gloomy, he suddenly bowed to the young man: "Sun Sanlang, I am so grateful for you when you save me this time. I couldn't bear to you at the beginning, and I will definitely repay you in the future!" As he said that, he kowtowed at Sun Tu three times.

This was really beyond Sun Tu's expectations. When he came to his senses, the other party's head had already been knocked down, which made Sun Tu feel a little confused about what to say, so he could only help the person up: "It's not my Sun Tu's character to be unsuccessful when he sees death. This is not a place to speak. Let's leave first and talk about other things."

At this time, the other civilians and soldiers had already rolled and climbed down the mountain. After being counterattacked by the bandits, they were completely afraid and did not dare to stay at the foot of the mountain. They all hated their parents for giving birth to two less legs for themselves and ran back. Seeing this, Sun Tu did not dare to delay, so he pulled Zhang Chuan and walked back with everyone.

However, in fact, the bandits did not dare to continue pursuing them, and they were afraid that this was the plan of the government army to lure them down the mountain. Moreover, their leader Shen Laoqi was seriously injured just now, and they were in a hurry to take the person back for treatment.

When more than 200 civilians fled back to their camp, cries immediately spread in the camp. This time, neither Shi Wenbin nor Liu Yuan came forward, and the other officers and soldiers were even more afraid to stop. After all, if the civilian changes were aroused, things would become more difficult. However, in this way, the already low-spirited official army became more and more depressed, and Suo Chao was so angry that he cursed: "These civil officials know how to cause trouble. How can they attack the mountains tomorrow in such a situation?"

Only Song Jiang, who brought the doctor to treat the injured, and at the same time, comforted everyone's emotions with gentle words. Finally, everyone's emotions were calm. Sun Tu looked at everything coldly, and looked at Song Jiang without any admiration. Hu Baoyi, the beautiful title of Shi Yu was indeed not for nothing. He acted in all aspects, but it was much better than other officials.

Thinking of this, Song Jiang brought people to him and found that there were a lot of blood on his body. Song Jiang quickly said, "Sanlang, where are you injured? Let Dr. Ye bandage you."

Sun Tu waved his hand and smiled, "Thank you for your concern. I was not injured. Most of the blood was splashed on me by others."

"Oh?" Song Jiang looked him up and down a few times, and found that he had no other problems except for a slight fatigue between his eyebrows and eyes. Then he breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the best. Sanlang is indeed amazing, and he can escape unstoppable."

"It's just luck." Sun Tu smiled bitterly: "It's just those innocent people who are not as lucky as me."

"Hey..." Song Jiang also sighed: "I don't know if this Hutou Village can be defeated. The strong attack of just one day and a night has caused dozens of casualties. What about tomorrow?"

"Yes, a strong attack will definitely not be successful. I have seen it just now. Although the wall erected there is not too high, it also has a certain amount of persistence. Moreover, the government army has to pay a huge price to attack the camp, and it is already at the end of its strength." Sun Tu nodded and said. In fact, he has heard of it well. In his opinion, with the ability of these township soldiers in Yuncheng County, he can't even touch the mountain gate.

Song Jiang naturally understood this, so he could only remain silent. At this moment, a thought flashed through Sun Tu's mind, but he figured out the key to the problem that he had not grasped before, and said immediately: "Song Aishi, there is actually a way to break this copycat!"

"But what is the method?" Song Jiang was also excited when he heard this and asked hurriedly.

"It's still a fire attack." Sun Tu said with a bright look.

Song Jiang frowned and shook his head: "Didn't this method be said before? The mountains are steep, there are not many trees, and these bandits are also very cautious and cannot set fire at all."

"If it is an ordinary fire attack, of course it is difficult to accomplish anything, but there is a way below..." Sun Tu said, approaching the other party and muttering a few words in a low voice. After hearing this, Song Jiang was still a little hesitant: "Is this method really feasible?"

"There may be only one way now. But I can guarantee that as long as the fire breaks out, the bandits will never be able to easily extinguish them. But to achieve success, it depends on General Suo and the others. The soldiers in our county are afraid that they will not be able to catch any of them." Sun Tu looked confident.

Song Jiang's eyes flashed, and he made a weighing in his heart. Finally, after glanced at the Minzhuang beside him, he made a decision: "Okay, then do as you want. I'll go to see General Suo and the others, and you go home and bring back the things you should use." As he said that, he also untied a wooden sign on his waist and handed over: "You can enter the city smoothly by holding this."

Sun Tu was not polite, took the wooden sign, bowed to Song Jiang, and then walked towards the county town. He had just walked back for less than two steps, but was stopped. The two officers looked at him with a vigilant look: "Where are you going?" It was obviously ordered to prevent those civilians from escaping in the face of battle.

Sun Tu immediately showed off his sign: "After the order of Song Ai Si, he returned to the city to work in business."

After checking the waist card, the two of them confirmed that it was correct and asked him to leave. However, the movement here was quickly seen by someone interested in it, and it quickly spread to Liu Yuan.

After hearing the news, Liu Aishi, who was already a little uneasy, showed suspicion: "What did Sun Tu go back to the city to do? Why did Song Gongming run to see Suo Chao?" The more he couldn't figure out the key, the more uneasy he felt. Finally, he bit his teeth and walked towards Suo Chao.

At this time, Suo Chao also had a hint of uncertainty on his face: "Song Aishi, is this method really possible? I have also seen the copycat, and ordinary wildfires may not really have much effect."

Although Song Jiang was confused in his heart, he seemed very confident on the surface: "General Suo just worry, Sun Sanlang will definitely not disappoint you and me."

Based on his respect and trust for Song Jiang, and there is no way to break through Hutou Village, he said, "Then I believe Song Aisi, this time. I hope we can break through the thief's nest tomorrow as Sun Sanlang said!"

"General Suo, Song Aisi, don't you be deceived!" Liu Yuan happened to come at this time, and he immediately spoke out: "Then what way can Sun San break through the clan? He just wanted to protect himself. Now he has fled back to the county town."

When Song Jiang heard this, he frowned: "Liu Aishi, you are despising Sun Sanlang. He is a responsible person. How could he deceive us in such matters? The reason why he returned to the city was to prepare for the fire to attack the Hutou Village tomorrow, and he would return after dawn."

"Song Aishi, how could you believe in the words of a villain so easily?" Liu Yuan shook his head and expressed his disbelief: "What if he doesn't come tomorrow?"

"If he doesn't come, I will take the blame!" Song Jiang immediately looked back at the other party and said, "I am willing to be severely punished by the court!"

"General Suo, county magistrate, you all heard it. I hope you can make a notarization!" Liu Yuan said quickly when he saw this, and took the opportunity to pull Shi Wenbin, who happened to hear the news. He had long wanted to get rid of Song Jiang's thorns, and now he has caught a chance. He really doesn't believe that Sun Tu, a stinky boy, can attack the mountain, and he is sure that he doesn't have to look back once he goes.
