Sun Tusun Dujian is truly a hero in Qingzhou territory, and he is a hero who has a sense of awe from the bottom of his heart. Even though he has been away from here for more than a year, even if he has sacrificed his life for the country in everyone's eyes, this name alone can still shock everyone, especially those who do evil, who are even more shocked when they hear his name.

Several officials who had already knelt down and begged for mercy were already trembling all over. They raised their eyes and peeked at the young man in front of them. The more they looked, the more they felt that he was so similar to Sun Dujian in their memory. They shouted uncontrollably: "Sun, Sun, Sun Dujian, please spare your life, we had to do this because we had no choice but to do it..." They were really scared, and even thought that Sun Tu had appeared because he was concerned about the local people.

Seeing their terrifying expression as if they were after seeing a ghost, Sun Tu was both angry and funny. Is he that scary? If he had known this effect, he would have just revealed his identity directly. Why should he spend that time fighting with them? However, his face still looked solemn: "You are waiting to be accomplices of the tiger and harm the people. I didn't know until now that there was something wrong. Is it too late?"

"I... I am really helpless. If I do this, I'm afraid that those who are injected into the army to fight against the Liangshan bandits will be us and our family. I'm also begging Sun Dujian to spare my life!" These people were so scared that they were out of their minds. While talking, they kept kowtowing hard. In just a few seconds, blood was seen on their foreheads.

Zhong Yi had already walked up and knelt down with them: "Sun Dujian, there is nothing false about what we say. It is really because the situation is forced to do what we mean. And we also gave them a chance. As long as they see the opportunity quickly and escape from Qingzhou, they will have a chance to escape."

Sun Tu agreed with this. He just heard the conversation between the two sides. They had indeed given the tea seller some grace time, but it would be too unrealistic to let an old man in his sixties escape from his hometown. But it was precisely because of their kindness that he did not really attack these people, otherwise these people would have been on the spot.

After pondering for a while, Sun Tu waved his hand and said, "Get up and talk back..." As he said that, he looked at the other tea lovers who were also trembling and smiled, "You don't have to be too scared. I, Sun Tu, are still a living person, but I am not as dead as the rumors outside."

"Ah..." Everyone was stunned again, but the doubts in their hearts were not resolved, and they just looked him up and down uneasy. Sun Tu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Didn't it mean that ghosts have no shadow? Look at what's under my feet? Also, who have you ever seen a ghost come out under the sun at noon?"

These few words finally made everyone convince, especially after seeing the clear shadow under Sun Tu's feet, the people all breathed a sigh of relief. But then, the few people quickly stepped forward and knelt in front of Sun Tu, and said with grievance: "Sun Dujian, you are back... Since you left, we have been living a hard life... All the people in Qingzhou are missing Dujian's all the good things you were there..." When they talked about the emotional part, two even shed tears.

Sun Tu hurriedly reached out and helped the people up one by one, apologized: "It was my official who failed your trust in me. At that time, because the court had important matters to me, it was so many years since I was in charge. Fortunately, I was back again. Don't worry, as long as I came back, our Qingzhou will be able to go back to the past. No, it can be better than the past!"

The people were naturally inspired and applauded. However, Zhong Yi looked confused: "The Chief Minister, now Qingzhou has a new prefect and the Chief Minister of Military Affairs. Can you really restore everything to the old view?"

When Sun Tu heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed with his eyes. He patted his shoulder, pulled him up, and said, "It seems that you were also a member of the government before, which is different from those people. Since that's the case, then tell me some changes in Qingzhou during this period."

Zhong Yi hesitated for a moment, and at the end of the day he knew according to Sun Tu's request: "The villain did work in the government office before, and he had met the Dujian several times, so he recognized you. It's just that your changes were a bit too big, and we all thought you had died in battle, so we didn't think about it... In fact, after you left Qingzhou for several months last year, everything had not changed. Under the governance of Huang Taifu and others, our Qingzhou was even more prosperous.

"But unexpectedly, in July and August, news suddenly came out of the news that you died in battle outside the Dujian. At that time, we all didn't believe it. You were a god-like figure in our hearts. How could you be harmed by others? But two months later, the court suddenly sent the new Qingzhou military commander He Dujian and the new Gao Zhifu. The villain waited until then he realized that the statement might be true."

Under this story, Sun Tu only realized how many changes happened in Qingzhou in the next six months - the prefect Gao Xiang and the governor He Mo were still restrained when they first arrived in Qingzhou and did not dare to do anything. However, after two months of contact and understanding, they discovered that Huang Wenbing, Lin Chong and others did not have the courage to be enemies with them. In addition, the backers behind them also issued orders at that time, so a storm that changed the original situation in Qingzhou was born.

First, He Mo began to insert his confidants into the military camp with various excuses, and slowly brought the military power to his own hands through suppression and win over. During this period, Lin Chong and others actually had many opportunities to stop everything, but his weakness in character was undoubtedly exposed at this time, which eventually led to the rapid growth of the opponent's power and completely controlling the entire Qingzhou army. When Lin Chong and others wanted to fight back after Wu Song Luda and others came back, it was too late.

The final result was that Wu Song, Lu Da, Tang Feng and others were completely loyal to Sun Tu, and wanted to defend the power of the army for him by He Mo successively arrested and imprisoned by various excuses. Now they are still imprisoned in prison. It is said that they have even reported to the court and will kill all these people on charges of ill-conspiracy after this autumn! As for Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Qi Desheng and others have not been convicted, but have been deprived of almost all military power. They have been idle and can no longer cause any storms.

After He Mo seized the military power in the city, Gao Xiang, the prefect, also decisively attacked and punished Huang Wenbing, who had no support in one fell swoop. The charge was very simple, which was corruption. Poor Huang Wenbing worked diligently after following Sun Tu to Qingzhou, without any selfishness. In the end, he was charged with corruption and dereliction of duty and was then thrown into prison. There is no news of the next step.

As a result, Qingzhou's military and political power was in the hands of these two people. They finally showed their true fangs and began to embezzle the little property that Sun Tu and the others had finally accumulated, causing most of the food in the Guancang military warehouse to disappear, causing the situation of the Qingzhou army to be greatly damaged, and there were many deserters.

Not long afterwards, the court ordered the Qingzhou army to join the battle to suppress the Liangshan bandits. As a result, the Qingzhou army, which could easily defeat the Liangshan army on the front battlefield, had completely eliminated its fighting spirit, and several battles were severely injured. He Mo also determined that this was caused by the generals in the army's reluctance to put their heart into it, so he killed many of the original officers, and even the Qingzhou army was injured again and again, and it was no longer the same as before.

At this time, as various internal and external factors were entangled, it turned out that Sun Tu had created only less than 2,000 Qingzhou Army, with only 7,000 or 8,000 people, and the number was still decreasing. Seeing that the court would send people to urge the war, and also had to examine this elite army that had given many people hoped. In order to give the officials who came, He Mo and Gao Xiang joined forces to find a way to catch the strong men. With the continuous increase in donations and miscellaneous taxes, they forced the people who had no money and food to join the army to make up for their numbers. As for whether they would be forced to go to the battlefield in the end, what would be the result? It was not considered by the two officials.

After listening to this story, even though Sun Tu claimed that he could achieve the collapse of Mount Tai before his eyes remained unchanged, his eyes were full of anger, and his right hand pressed on the hilt of the knife had burst out, and his murderous intent could not be suppressed at all: "Okay, okay! They really don't feel sorry for selling their land. In just a few months, they lost all the money I had created! They didn't think that when I came back, would they let them spit out everything they had eaten?"

Zhong Yi looked at Sun Tu with a bitter face and worried look: "Sun Dujian, Qingzhou is already under the control of these people. Even if you come back, it will be difficult to change anything. Even the military camp is now controlled by their confidants. Can you still take it back?"

This immediately won the unanimous agreement of others: "Yes, Sun Dujian, now you are alone. Even if you go back, you will be harmed by them. By then, there will be no hope. In my foolish opinion, you should go to Bianjing to find people from the court to uphold justice for you."

When Sun Tu heard this, he sneered. If those people in the court really knew how to help him, how could Qingzhou become like this? Even Tong Guan, who has always been closely related to him, is probably an accomplice of those people in this matter. Since Wu Song and Luda had returned to the Song Dynasty as early as July and August, why did he have to wait until October and He Mo had already taken control of the military power before letting them come back? If Tong Guan had not used a trick behind his back, Sun Tu would have lost his head to the other party.

But he did not lose confidence because of this situation. Sun Tu suddenly smiled and stood up suddenly and said, "So what if they have military power? This is Qingzhou, my territory of Sun Tu. Not to mention these two unknown guys, even if Cai Jing and Tong Guan are here, don't think of getting a bargain from me. I will enter the city now and break all the native chickens and dogs for everyone to see!"

After saying that, the man had already arrived at the war horse. He had already risen to the horse's back. With a whip, the horse had already galloped towards Qingzhou City.

On May 27, the second year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, Sun Tu returned to Qingzhou!
