This sudden scene instantly condensed the jubilant atmosphere at the scene. No one had ever thought that Tian Boyuan would commit suicide and apologize. With his subordinates who were familiar with his personality, he felt that this fact was incredible. His general has always been steady and rational, so why did he commit suicide?

Only a few people, such as Qin Gan, noticed some communication between Tian Boyuan and Sun Tu before committing suicide, which made them quickly understand that the death of the man was probably unrelated to the Yue Hou. This made them even more shocked. Sun Tu's methods were too terrifying. Not only did they dare to kill the military supervisor in public, but they could also force a garrison general to commit suicide willingly...

In fact, Sun Tu did not use too many means to deal with Tian Boyuan. He just revealed his determination to pursue the matter to the end and told the other party that he and Du Changguo, two officials who were most responsible, would apologize for their death.

After all, the Hu Ben Army was almost wiped out this time. Although Du Changguo was the main evil, if he had not been against his word and refused to take responsibility, there would still be a remedy. After all, the military power was in his hands. Let Du Changguo make the truth go out of the sky, as long as he gave the order, the soldiers would obey the order.

It can be said that Du Changguo was the first criminal in this matter, and then Tian Boyuan was the accomplice. Although the first criminal should be killed, the crime of the accomplice could not be avoided. However, Sun Tu still gave him face and room, so he was extremely fierce when dealing with Du Changguo. Not only did he take his life, but he also wanted to ruin his reputation, implicate the entire clan, and die all the people. As for Tian Boyuan, as long as he lives, he could also let him commit suicide with dignity.

This is why Tian Boyuan's reaction was extremely strange after talking to Sun Tu. He wanted to survive, but he no longer had the courage to be an enemy of Sun Tu. The only thing he could do was to hope that Du Changguo could win the game back.

But in the end, Du Changguo's fate made his extravagant hopes a fantasy and forced him to go to a dead end. Especially after seeing the soldiers in the city cheering for Sun Tu, he completely lost the courage to make a last try, so he could only commit suicide on the spot as he wished.

Because if he refused to commit suicide and wanted to survive, Sun Tu could not only impose the charge of a spy from Liao Kingdom on Du Changguo and kill him, but also do the same thing again on Tian Boyuan. By then, he would only die even worse and implicate his family. At this time, death was just his only choice.

Perhaps some people may think that Sun Tu's actions were too unrestrained and too extreme. But he knew that doing so was the best way to gather the morale of the army. This was not only an explanation to the Hu Ben Army soldiers, but also an explanation to all the soldiers of the border soldiers. Otherwise, after this incident, what would everyone think and would be willing to do everything for the safety of the Central Plains? Because what was shown in this matter was that those who were superior did not care about the life and death of ordinary soldiers at all, and no matter how many people died, it would not affect them at all.

Today, Sun Tu wants to tell everyone a truth: what you do will inevitably have feedback, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end. No matter how high or low a person is, the lives of the soldiers are also valuable!

After a shocking silence, another cheer came again. These soldiers had accepted the belief that Sun Tu passed on to them, which made them more grateful and more convinced of Sun Tu.

Qin Dan looked at everything in front of him in a daze. After a while, he finally sighed and said no more. In the past, he had heard about Sun Tu's deeds and was deeply impressed by his actions, but in the end he was only heard and did not have a deep feeling. But today, in less than half a day after returning to Yanmen Pass, he even killed two major officials in Guanzhong and received full support from other soldiers. This made him feel different from his feelings towards Sun Tu. He was respectful, but more fearful.

What kind of big things will such a person do when he arrives on the front line? Or, at that time, can the court still control such a general who is deeply envious of the army and has no worries? Qin Gan is really suspicious of this...

The people who should be killed have been killed. What Sun Tu and the others have to do next is to rest in Yanmen Guanzhong, so as to clear out the fatigue that has been around in the past few days.

As a hero who can fight with the Liao army for several days and even if he enters the Jedi, the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army are naturally treated quite well in Yanmen Pass, and they are the best in terms of food and accommodation. There are also special doctors to diagnose and treat their wounds.

In fact, Sun Tu himself was also seriously injured. He had only had too many things to solve before and was forced to stand up. Now he can finally relax and recover his body.

In this way, the army will spend more time here, which is obviously something that Qin Gan and the others do not want to see. After all, the front-line war is about to begin, and he and his 20,000 subordinates do not want to be idle just in the rear.

When Sun Tu learned what he meant, he immediately made a decision: "Then go back to the front line, I will go to see Tong Shuai with you." His health was better than that of ordinary people. Although he had multiple injuries, he had recovered after several days of bandaging and treatment.

"Where are the others from the Hu Ben Army?" Qin Gan asked casually. The other soldiers were still injured and the disease was not healed, and many people even had difficulty walking, let alone going to the front line.

Sun Tu just thought for a moment and gave his own meaning: "Let them stay in Yanmen Pass for the time being, which is also a way to do their best for the front line. Also, I plan to let Cao Yan and his generals temporarily take over the position of guarding Yanmen Pass. I wonder what you think?"

As soon as Tian Boyuan and Du Changguo died, Yanmen Pass would be without a leader. It was okay when Sun Tu and the others were there. Once they left, there would be no absolute leader who could make any decisions about what happened next.

Qin Gan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Since General Sun has a clear idea, I will do what you said. However, they are just taking over their posts temporarily. How to make the final arrangements will be decided by Tong Shuai."

"Of course." Sun Tu nodded with a smile. He easily solved the current problem. On the one hand, it was naturally an embarrassing situation in Yanmen Pass. With Cao Yan and others left behind, they were naturally not afraid of recurrence. On the other hand, it was to ensure the safety of the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army.

In fact, although Sun Tu brought these imperial guards out, he still did not have much hope for their combat power. After all, they have always been pampered and lived a favorable life. They have only suppressed bandits several times and have never fought with powerful enemies like the Liao army. If such an army really goes to the front line, it is no different from dying. This can be seen in the previous battle with the Liao army.

Although they have gained experience and have grown up, they are still quite far from being the real elite. In addition, they are still injured, so keeping them at Yanmen Pass is the best choice. It is not advisable to encourage growth of seedlings and grow. Everything has to be done step by step. Didn’t the Qingzhou army back then also relied on one battle after another to accumulate and improve?

Sun Tu believed that as long as they were at Yanmen Pass and listened more and learned more, in the future, these thousands of Tiger Ben Army will definitely become the mainstay of the border army and a powerful force no less than the Shandong Army. All of this requires time to settle down.

Although some of the Huben soldiers felt unacceptable to Sun Tu's decision, they still obeyed the military orders. So in the end, they all stayed at Yanmen Pass, and then sent Sun Tu and Qin Gan's troops to head north again. Thousands of civilians were also traveling with them, as well as a large number of military rations and weapons that had been left in Yanmen Pass for too long.

This time, the Liao army, which had almost been wiped out, could no longer pose any threat to the food supply. Even if they still had some residue, they would have to find a place to hide or escape back to the north.

"General Qin, where did that Liao army come from? How could it be that descending from the sky bypassing our defense line?"

"This... is really a bit confusing. It's a pity that all the prisoners would rather die than attack, otherwise we would be wary of it."

"Xiao Yanping failed..." Looking at the small note in his hand, Yelu Dashi's brows frowned deeply. This result was too unexpected to him. He thought that with Xiao Yanping's ability and the elite combat power of the cavalry, unless the Song army sent a large number of troops back to encircle and suppress them, they would be able to harass the back and thus restrain the main force of the Song army.

But now it seems that I have thought things simple, and this is the result.

Yelu Xiongge in front of him cares more about one question: "How did they fail?"

"I was dragged down by an army coming out of Yanmen Pass, and then the Song army arrived. They were short of troops and were defeated. Moreover, there was an old friend of you and me in the Song army."

"Old friend? Who is it?"

"Do you still remember the Song general next to Tong Guan when the chaos in Nanjing started?"

Yelu Xiongge naturally remembered this matter deeply and nodded immediately: "It seems that there is such a person. But wasn't he removed by your people?"

"He is still alive, and now he has a considerable reputation and status in the Song Ting army. I really didn't expect that a small person had become a terrible opponent who could stand alone a few years later." Yelu Dashi said with some emotion, and then sighed secretly. He did not see the wrong person at the beginning, but a pity that this person failed to surrender and used it for his own use.

"It's just a matter of being idle, and it won't hurt the overall situation." Yelu Xiongge didn't take this matter too much and comforted him casually.

But Yelu Dashi didn't think so: "This person is not simple, so he has to be careful in the end. By the way, I'll let them go back again and cooperate with Xiao Gan at that time. Maybe Song Jun will already figure out the key."

"Are you talking about that?" Yelu Xiongge nodded clearly: "But the decisive battle between me and the Song army is about to begin? The north has issued orders one after another, asking us to divide our troops to rescue us quickly."

"Yes, I really hope this battle will start quickly and end quickly..."

The fifth update of the agreement was late but it was...so I asked for votes again and asked for support...
