The Song Dynasty came from its own country and learned from the chaotic times of the previous dynasty and refused to delegate important military power to various places. As a result, it had the tradition of becoming a strong, weak branch, and combined with the elite of the world to form an imperial guard. Now it is known that there are 800,000 imperial guards.

Perhaps these imperial guards, which gathered the elites of the world in the early Song Dynasty, were indeed elite and brave, but over the past century, the situation had already changed. Perhaps the four upper armies like Tianwu and Pangri still maintained considerable combat power, but the other armies in the imperial guards were completely different. After all, in the colorful world of Bianjing, there were too many external factors, and the imperial guards had already fallen. This was the rise of border troops such as the Western Army, and the opportunity to train troops and finally achieve great achievements today.

The Hu Ben Army arranged by Gao Qiu for Sun Tu was the imperial guards with a reputation among the four armies. However, their reputation was not that they were very brave or had excellent performance. On the contrary, they were heard of from the high-ranking officials and nobles to the peddlers and barbarians. It was their inconvenience that the Hu Ben Army was praised by the mobs, and they could not be called an army at all. They were just a dandy team.

Yes, the Hu Ben Army is mostly composed of the yamen and sons in the court, and the real ones are all playboys. Although they are not valued by their fathers and grandparents, they may be the juniors who will take over their official positions in the future. If they can really have such a prospect, their fathers and grandparents will not stuff their children into the most despised army. Even if they are the imperial guards, the purpose of letting them join the imperial guards is to make more friends and backers - but they are also of noble origins and military discipline does not control them from spending money outside, and they are almost impossible to practice.

Anyway, after all, this Hu Ben Army, with a very majestic name, can be said to be the weakest existence in the entire imperial guards. Now Gao Qiu handed over the task of leading the army to Sun Tu in the military exercises, and the intention was too obvious.

Didn’t Sun Tu rely on your army to lead troops and win great victories in Shandong and Jiangnan one after another? As long as the army you lead makes a big mistake in the next military exercise, the aura of famous generals will fade away, and then through some means, it will be enough to marginalize him and eventually become a commoner. Even if you die, the emperor may not care.

Although Gao Qiu's methods were despicable, they were effective enough. This was his experience in fighting with people in the court for many years. In his opinion, it was enough to deal with Sun Tu, a guy who suddenly appeared. At this time, he saw the other party being slightly stunned and smiled again: "What, Qianli, are you unwilling to obey orders?"

Sun Tu's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he quickly calmed down. He clasped his fists and said, "I don't dare to do it, but I just think it's a bit unruly. After all, Xia Guan is the Duhou of the Palace, and he is the new officer. He doesn't know much about the matters in the imperial guards." He dared not refuse Gao Qiu's arrangements directly in person, as it would only make the population a reality.

"What's wrong with this? Although you are Du Yuhou, you are in charge of the temporary leadership of the army. As for worrying about not being familiar with the matter of the imperial guards, you are even more humble. Sun Qianli has led troops to win big victories in many places. How could this little thing be difficult for you? That's it. You can go to the Hu Ben Army camp later. Before the military exercise on October 18, do this job well before talking about other things."

Well, in just a few words, Sun Tu kicked Sun Tu from such an important yamen in the front office to the military camp. After Sun Tu walked around the court, he had to go back to the army, and he was also such a "famous" weak army.

But when he said this, Sun Tu naturally couldn't refuse any more, so he could only hold his fists and bow his head again: "The Lord is obeying the order." He paused and looked at Gao Qiu again: "If Grand Marshal Gao had no other orders, then the Lord will surrender."

"Well, remember to train well, don't let my imperial guards lose face in the next military exercise, otherwise even if it is you, this Grand Marshal will do his job in business." Gao Qiu smiled unpredictably and waved his hand to let him retreat.

It was not until Sun Tu left that a proud light flashed in his eyes: "Sun Tu, do you think Bian Jing is the same as elsewhere? As long as I want to deal with you, there is a way. Don't worry, this is the beginning..."

When they walked out of the Palace Front Secret with their worries, Sun Tu saw Tang Feng and others who had not yet left. They did not lean forward, but were far away and waiting in front of a tea stall on the street. Obviously, they were a little worried about Sun Tu's current situation. After all, everyone knew the conflict between him and Gao Qiu, and the Palace Front Secret was the territory of Taiwei Gao.

Seeing this, Sun Tu felt warm in his heart, and immediately stepped forward. These subordinates also walked up with a worried look on their faces. When they approached, Tang Feng said with concern: "General, why did you come out so quickly? But what happened?"

"Nothing happened, it was just a little trouble." Sun Tu casually explained his current problem, which immediately caused everyone to be angry: "This Gao Qiu is so unbearable. He is so shameless to take revenge on his own!"

Sun Tu smiled bitterly: "This is a dignified open plot, and I don't even have to refuse. Now I can only go to Huben Camp to explore the way according to his wishes. Just as you go with me, you can go with me." As he spoke, a general behind him had already rushed out, and he was the one who was ordered to take him to Huben Camp.

Sun Tu was not polite either and immediately asked him to lead the way. Then he rode his horse with everyone and walked out of Bianjing. After walking south for a few miles, he finally saw a row of continuous barracks standing there.

Although the number of imperial guards in Bianjing City cannot be 800,000, there are always 200,000 to 300,000. Of course, they cannot be all arranged in Bianjing City, where every inch of land is worth a fortune. In addition to the four upper armies who need to be on duty in the palace and the important yamen, other military and horses were placed around the city, and there are three imperial guards guarding here in the south, and Huben Camp is one of them.

Before they could walk to these military camps, Sun Tu and his men frowned, because these military camps were completely noisy and could hear clearly when they were far away, and there was no way the army should look like. For Shandong soldiers who were already accustomed to the many military orders issued by Sun Tu, this place was not considered a military camp at all.

Seeing them walking towards them, some soldiers ran to the gate to see something strange, and some even came forward to ask about their identity. It was not until Sun Tusuo opened his face and showed off his gold medal. After knowing that this was a senior official from the Palace Front Office, the soldiers retreated back. However, after seeing them entering the Huben Army camp, many people still showed gloating expressions on their faces.

From time to time, there was no concealment of talk behind him: "This man looked so young and he became the Du Yuhou of the Palace? But he had no good results when he went to the Hu Ben Army..."

"But it doesn't matter today. I heard that the Tai Sui people have not been in the camp recently."

"That's a lot less attention. I really want to see how this new Du Yuhou will get along with these Tai Sui..."

It was not until I entered the gate of the Huben Military Camp that the discussion behind me could not be heard, but Sun Tu's face became more and more gloomy. This was not only because of those words, but also because of the scene in the military camp in front of me—

As he knew, the Hu Ben Army should have 5,000 soldiers, but now there are only a few dozen people basking in the sun and chatting in the open school grounds. Even if they are still in the barracks, there are only a few hundred soldiers here. Moreover, since he entered the barracks, no one came forward to ask, this is not the imperial guards' barracks, the local wing army, or even the township barracks, which is no different from the ordinary market.

As Sun Tu rode his horse with a gloomy face to the soldiers who were still talking and laughing, and stared at them with condescending attention, these people suddenly felt the pressure. A guy who looked like an officer stood up and asked nervously: "These officials are..."

Of course, Sun Tu didn't have to speak this. The officials who came with him came freely took out relevant military orders to discuss and express his identity. After hearing all this, the soldiers present stood up uneasy. With a few shouts, many people ran out of the barracks one after another, swept it, and they were among three or four hundred people. In other words, the soldiers in the Huben military camp should have less than 10% of the number.

"The commanders in the camp, where are the Marquis of Yu and the generals?" Sun Tu finally spoke and asked loudly.

The soldiers looked around and finally looked at a man in his forties. The man trembled, then smiled and saluted, "I have met General Sun, who is a low-ranking Fan Ming, and is a Hu Ben Jun, and is a Marquis of Ying Yuhou."

Sun Tu just glanced at him, then glanced at others. These people felt a chill in their hearts, and immediately lowered their heads and looked at them, not daring to look at them. Seeing this, Sun Tu made a judgment: "Are other military commanders not in the camp?"

"That's right... that's exactly." After hesitating for a while, Fan Ming nodded and agreed, while his uneasiness became stronger and stronger. Although he was not familiar with this new general, the strong pressure emitted from him still made him vaguely feel that something was wrong.

Sun Tu nodded, and did not ask where these people were now. Instead, he dismounted and walked directly into the largest central military barracks. Seeing some wine, food and gambling tools placed inside, he did not react much. He just sat at the top and ordered for granted: "Go and bring me the rosters of the soldiers in the Hu Ben Army."

Fan Ming did not dare to refuse, and hurriedly left after agreeing. After a while, a booklet was praised by him, and Sun Tu looked at the contents above here carefully, making people unable to guess what he would do...
