Tong Guan's last sentence was not to scare Sun Tu, but to be so true. The morale of the Song army is far from being as good as the setbacks of previous great defeats. The Western Army was defeated in the forefront. Even if Tong Guan took the initiative to order, there might not be many troops who dared to attack, let alone the decision he made after being coerced.

After Sun Tu's eyes swept to the side, he found that the generals took a few more steps back, their eyes flashed, and they didn't dare to meet him, which was obviously timid. In fact, this was reasonable. If it weren't for this, Tong Guan wouldn't have been under the pressure of the court and refused to fight the decisive battle for a long time. He really had no confidence.

After seeing the generals' confusion and panic, Sun Tu couldn't help but smile. So, this might be called self-inflicting? The Song Dynasty has been suppressing military generals since its establishment. After a hundred years, it finally came to the wishes of those short-sighted guys. It was difficult for military generals to compete with civil officials. Not to mention the scene of separatist vassal states like the middle and late Tang Dynasty, there were only a handful of famous generals.

But at the same time, this practice of abandoning food due to choking finally caused the greatest disaster. The Song army has completely decayed. Not to mention the wing army that only knows how to eat food, even the pillars of the imperial guards and border troops who defend their country, have lost the temperament that an army should have. Especially those who are generals are all greedy and afraid of death, and only regard flattery and human relations as their own business. As for leading troops to fight, it has nothing to do with them.

So when the army reached the north and fought with the Liao army several times, they only wanted to protect themselves. More than 80% of the generals in the Song army had become timid wine bags, which was really useless! Perhaps only the Western Army, which had been under the leadership of the Zong family, could maintain a certain combat power with the Western Xia, but now they were in a place of defeat, which naturally made these generals afraid to send troops.

Sun Tu exhaled a breath of turbid air, but his eyes moved away from these generals, and then swept to the densely packed ordinary soldiers and middle and lower-level officers in front of him. At this moment, he saw something different from these people's eyes. They had no hostility towards him, and even had a hint of expectation!

The words said to him by the two elders of the Zhong family once again came to Sun Tu's heart: "Qianli, you may not know how great prestige you have in the hearts of my soldiers in the Song Dynasty. Maybe as long as you raise your arms and shout, countless soldiers can see the scenery! This is the reason why I want to join forces with you, and it is also the key to my Song Dynasty's victory this time!"

He smiled because he had believed the judgment of the two old generals. Without any hesitation, Sun Tu shouted loudly: "Soldiers, our robes are fighting bloody battles! Behind, there are my Song Dynasty and the Central Plains. This battle is not only related to our life, death, honor and disgrace, but also to our Song Dynasty and countless people in the world.

"If this battle is won, our army can directly take Youzhou. From then on, there will be an additional barrier in the Central Plains. The horses we are short of will be sufficiently supplemented in the near future. The official army will no longer be associated with weak statements. We will become heroes who save the overthrow of the world and be praised for all generations!

"And once they are defeated, the land of the Central Plains will completely fall! Even if the Liao army voluntarily retreats due to the chaos behind them today, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not retaliate against each other in the future. What's more, there are new advances in the north, and they can sweep the Liao army's Jin Kingdom in just a short time! When they defeat Liao, will they be satisfied with this and no longer covet the great country and infinite wealth of our Central Plains? No, the desire is unsatisfied. For example, the barbarians who only know that power plunder cannot be satisfied with this. They will take advantage of the situation and go south, and then the land of the Central Plains will be truly doomed.

"Our family, our friends, and those innocent people... Think about it, the food we eat on weekdays is planted by them, our clothes and armor are made by them, and even our weapons are made by them! But now, as soldiers of the Song Dynasty, we cannot guarantee their safety. Can you and me really be at ease?

"In today's battle, we are not for the imperial kings, but for the people of the world, for our Han family, for our own family, wife and children! We are also for the backbone and honor of us as soldiers! We are enough to think we are manly, so we will fight with me, fight side by side, and break the enemy and save the robes!"

When Sun Tu first started speaking, the generals around him were still full of disdain. These words could not impress them, those who had already become selfish. But as the words deepened, the faces of these people finally changed. It was not that they found their conscience, but because they saw that the expressions of the soldiers around him had changed and became no longer as confused as before, but were all full of energy and excited. Obviously, these ordinary soldiers had been moved by Sun Tu's words.

Of course, his words could not be spread throughout the military camp, but naturally some soldiers who understood clearly automatically conveyed similar statements to their comrades behind them. So when Sun Tu finished this long passage, his originally declining morale was really cheered up.

After a moment, a scream spread from the center to the center, first a few, then to hundreds or thousands, and countless people began to roar: "We are willing to follow General Sun to fight to kill the enemy, avenge a hundred years of revenge, eliminate the Liao army, and regain Youzhou!"

In the end, almost the entire military camp, more than 100,000 soldiers roared at the same time. When the neat roar rang throughout the world, it almost completely covered the killing sounds in front of them, and also made the generals who wanted to make jokes stunned. How could such a change happen?

Tong Guan looked around with disbelief and looked around. Is this the Song army he was familiar with? He had never seen such a fierce fighting spirit in these soldiers! This is because Sun Tu's eloquence is so great that he can tell hundreds of thousands of soldiers in just a few words?

No, this is obviously impossible. The only explanation is that Sun Tu's influence in the army has actually exceeded that of himself and all the generals in the Song Dynasty, but no one knows it, or no one wants to think about it and believe it! A few years ago, Sun Tu was already a legend in the army, and his reputation and prestige have long surpassed all the generals in the world.

After accumulating and making a lot of effort, today, Sun Tu finally revealed the truth with his own hands!

A hundred years of depression and a hundred years of humiliation have long made these soldiers extremely frustrated. They urgently need a hero to lead them out of this predicament. Over the years, some people have had this opportunity, such as Di Qing, such as the Zong family... but they have missed the opportunity that is in front of them for various reasons, and missed the fate of themselves and the entire Song Dynasty.

Then there was today's Sun Tu. He used his victory after victory and the heads of civil servants to pave his reputation in the army, and made it bear fruit without realizing it. Today is the time to pick it!

Unlike those predecessors, Sun Tu did not have any stupid and loyalty or any concerns. Since the opportunity was in front of him, he could not let it go. He bent down gently and picked the sweet fruit that was enough to subvert the current pattern of the court in his hands!

He only heard him roaring loudly: "Transfer our military orders to open the gate of the village, and the soldiers of the Northern Army follow me to kill the enemy! The imperial guards and others will first guard the camp to prevent the Liao army from splitting the troops, protect Tongshou and related people!"

The incident happened suddenly, and even Sun Tu had no time to make more detailed arrangements, so he could only issue military orders in a general way. The word "天" that was like a tsunami!

At this time, Sun Tu had no worries anymore. He immediately pushed Tong Guan, who was no different from the wood, completely ignored the fact that there were many people around him, and rushed forward. The confidants of the Qingzhou Army quickly followed, and some people brought him a horse and a spear. While he was carrying the gun on the horse, many soldiers were in line, shouting, following him, and rushing forward.

The gate of the village that was originally closed was wide open, and countless soldiers of the Northern Army who were supposed to be guarding the wall of the high village also went down to the city without hesitation. While Sun Tu stepped out of the village, everyone followed closely behind, holding up the flags, drums and trumpets, speeding up, and rushing forward!

In just a short moment, tens of thousands of people rushed out of the camp. Behind it, there were more Northern Army soldiers shouting, cheering, and following them. There were cavalry guards on both sides, which were not specially ordered by Sun Tu. These soldiers with rich combat experience had already set up the most conducive formation to charge and rushed straight to the battlefield in the north.

The generals were completely stunned at this moment. The big-headed soldiers who should have been timid with themselves and dared not even say a word, actually fought out after Sun Tu's few words completely regardless of the military order. In an instant, they lost control of the army?

Tong Guan's face turned pale as paper, and his body trembled violently. He wanted to laugh and cry again - it turned out that his years of hard work were not as good as Sun Tu's words. At this time, he could not even have the intention to take revenge on Sun Tu, because he knew very well that once he really had this intention, he would only be the one who died faster.

Then, another deep sense of fear hit his heart - Sun Tu actually had such a strong appeal in the army? If he really won this victory, his reputation would reach an unprecedented height, could anyone in the world be able to control him?

At this moment, his heart was even more entangled than before. Is it better to hope to win or to lose the army in the end?

However, this battle cannot be changed by his will. Winning and defeat are only in the last battle between both sides!
