There is no airtight wall under the world.

Even afterwards, Gao Qiu had already reminded Fan Lou to keep the secret of what happened in the yard here tonight, but the next day, the conflict here was spread out in the Tokyo officialdom on a small scale. After all, this incident was quite a big deal, and Sun Tu had no intention of avoiding people in and out, so naturally he was easily found out by someone who was interested.

However, those who know about this matter were silent and did not make any publicity. After all, this involves Taiwei Gao and the prince. If one is not easy to offend them, the consequences will be really hard to say.

This made Di Huchen's brothers learn about this slightly delayed, and it was not until the third day that they heard about it, which made Di Huchen feel even more guilty. Without much hesitation, he came to the door again and went to apologize with Sun Tu.

However, it was a bit unfortunate when he came to apologize. It happened that Tang Feng and others led their troops to pacify the bandits in the capital and returned triumphantly, so Sun Tu went to the military camp earlier, which made him lose his life. To show his sincerity, he simply waited at the mansion and waited for Sun Tu to return.

Tang Feng and his friends' triumphant return were rare good news in Sun Tu during this period, which also made him suddenly feel refreshed. Especially after seeing that the entire spirit of the Hu Ben Army soldiers who had experienced the baptism of war had improved, he felt even more happy: "Okay, it can be seen that you have made great progress in combating the thieves this time."

"It's the general who teaches well on weekdays, and those seniors of Shandong Army who give me some advice, so that Hu Qi will not have any problems in the battle with those bandits and bandits." An officer said sincerely. When they looked at Tang Feng and others again, their eyes were full of respect.

To be honest, they didn't have much thought in the past. They felt that as an imperial guard and had worked hard for many days, it was natural to go to the battlefield to suppress the bandits. However, it was not until they really went to the battlefield and fought with the fierce bandits that these imperial guards realized that there was a huge gap between talking about war on paper and actual combat.

In the previous few battles, if it weren't for the Shandong Army veterans pressing the formation on the side, I'm afraid that half of these thousands of imperial guards would have been lost. It was through these difficult and dangerous battles that the entire Hu Ben Army finally formed a powerful cohesion with the Shandong Army veterans as the core, the whole army shared weal and woe, and united in one's heart and virtue.

This is the soul of the army that could not be trained through hard training in the past few months. It was not until this moment that the Hu Ben Army, which had been despised by others in the past, truly became an army with the power of fighting. Of course, they still have too many ways to go before becoming an elite army that satisfies Sun Tu. You must know that the Shandong Army and the Qingzhou Army grew up through hard battles.

The only regret is that after several bandits were wiped out this time, the capital was unable to find an opponent. Otherwise, with the current state of being united, banned and highly morale, there will be a few more battles, and the victory will definitely improve the combat power again.

However, Sun Tu was quite satisfied with this result: "The thieves and bandits were pacified at the cost of 123 people killed in battle, 65 seriously injured, and more than 300 minor injuries. You have done well enough. This marquis will ask the Palace Front Office for you in two days. Whether it is rewarded or pensioned, you will definitely be indispensable."

This naturally caused cheers from the subordinates. As Sun Tu waved his hand, they disbanded. These soldiers left Jing for many days and returned from war. In recent days, it was impossible for Sun Tu to train them again, so he ordered them to go home and return to the military camp again on the first day of the twelfth lunar month.

It was not until everyone dispersed that Tang Feng came forward and said with concern: "General, is things going well in the capital?"

"The battle to suppress Wuyou Cave was naturally extremely smooth. It was only half a month before it was wiped out. However, the follow-up was much more complicated than I thought." Sun Tu frowned slightly and said, "In front of a close friend like Tang Feng, he had nothing to hide.

After listening to his brief story, Tang Feng was naturally indignant: "I knew that none of the officials was good! Officials protect each other and exchange of interests had long become their habits! General, you can't just forget about this, especially Gao Duo, who deserves to die. If you let him be free, I'm afraid that Mr. Zhou and others will die with their eyes!"

After pausing, he asked again and said, "General, if you trust me, please let me take someone to snatch things out. Now all our brothers in the Hu Ben Army follow the orders. As long as you give the order, they will definitely fight for the first place and there will be no more words."

However, Sun Tu immediately rejected his proposal: "I must not talk about this matter, especially don't encourage my brothers. They finally got some prospects, but they can't ruin everyone's future just because of my private affairs."

"But general, we can't just swallow this tone, right? If such a great revenge is not avenged, how can you establish your authority? The Hu Ben Army is pulled up by you, and your business is the business of my entire army."

"You are wrong. Public is public and private is private. The two must not be confused. If there are any major things to be used in the future, I will not hesitate. But this time, everything is just a private matter, and I have a solution, so you don't have to mention it anymore. Now you can stay in the army with peace of mind, help me to look forward to the Hu Ben Army, and train it into a real elite. I will handle everything else freely."

Seeing that Sun Tu was solemn, Tang Feng did not dare to insist anymore, so he could only respond with his hands. However, looking at his expression, he was still worried about this matter.

After staying in the military camp for more than half a day and condolences to the injured soldiers, Sun Tu did not return home until dusk. Then he learned that Di Huchen had been waiting in the mansion for a long time. He just smiled faintly and came to the living room to see his second brother-in-law.

Di Huchen, who had been waiting for most of the day, was not impatient at this time. When he saw Sun Tu, he still had a kind smile on his face: "Sanlang, you are really dedicated to being a minister, which makes Brother Wei feel a little ashamed."

"Second brother is joking. Are these brothers who are on the expedition back triumphantly? I, the chief general of the Tiger Army, always have to go to express my condolences. By the way, I will still plan to ask for credit for them in two days. I would also like to ask you, Second brother, to help me in front of the hall." Sun Tu smiled and asked the other party to sit down.

"Of course..." Di Huchen nodded subconsciously to agree, and then realized what the other party was saying, and suddenly became nervous: "All the people from the Hu Ben Army are back? Sanlang, there is a saying I said, don't be surprised. This is at the foot of the Emperor Bianliang of Tokyo. You must not do anything that can make countless people involved because of your momentary intent."

Sun Tu glanced at him and said with a smile: "It seems that my second brother has already known about Fanlou. You came to see me because of this, right?"

Di Huchen smiled bitterly: "After all, I can't hide it from Sanlang. Yes, I'm here for this. To be ashamed, I've reached an agreement with you before, but unexpectedly such a change happened again. In fact, I had advised the prince earlier that working with Gao Qiu was to make a fuss with Hu, but the prince and others refused to listen at all, and I was powerless. Moreover, because the plan we set that day failed to be realized, the person had already been taken to evidence by others a few days ago." As he said that, he looked at Sun Tu with guilt, for fear that the other party would get angry again.

But Sun Tu seemed quite calm, with a smile on his face: "I have guessed this a long time ago, otherwise those people would not dare to meet and negotiate with Gao Qiu. Now that he has reached a consensus, it would be even more difficult to get back the evidence."

Di Huchen nodded helplessly: "Sanlang, now, I think it's better for you to accept this fact for the time being. As the saying goes, there are only eight or nine out of ten things in the world. You should be more open-minded and don't do stupid things anymore. Otherwise, not only you, but also Ya'er, and Hutou will be implicated.

"Actually, I have wanted to persuade you a long time ago. I know that you are devoted to the court and even take risks for this. In the past, this time I did everything possible to suppress the bandits in Wuyou Cave. But have you ever thought about it? Although your fierce actions have made you famous and made a lot of contributions, they have also made enemies from many sides. After all, you are just a minister or a general after all. Sometimes it is better to do less than do more. You should have some understanding of the choices."

Di Huchen's words were indeed from the heart, and he was also the greatest concern and point of view for Sun Tu. Indeed, judging from the experiences of his generations in the Di family, the general should not have been too sharp in the Song Dynasty, otherwise the outcome would be bleak. He did not want to watch Sun Tu embark on this path of no return.

"I understand my second brother's intentions. Don't worry, I'm a family member and I won't do anything wrong." Sun Tu nodded and replied: "As for what you are worried about, I will snatch back the physical witnesses, it's even more impossible. This time I can see clearly that now the officials in the court are protecting each other and are in a mess. Even if I really get the evidence again and sue it, it's probably hard to move Gao Duo at all. If that's the case, why should I take such a risk?"

Di Huchen smiled bitterly. His brother-in-law really didn't show any affection, and he directly told the problems in the court. However, he had no intention of refuting those people, but said, "It's good that you can understand this. You finally put all the bandits in Wuyou Cave who have been in trouble for many years, and Zhou Xiong is not long before he can live. You can give the victims an explanation, so let's stop this matter."

Sun Tu nodded immediately: "What my second brother said is, let's stop here."

Seeing his reaction, Di Huchen was both happy and worried. What he was happy was that Sun Tu still listened to his words, but he was worried for some reason. He always felt that Sun Tu seemed to have some thoughts that he had not expressed it.
