In the peaceful military camp, only one person was unhappy.
"Junior brother, the situation seems to be more complicated than we thought!"
Luan Tingyu looked at Sun Li who was drinking and said, they secretly sent more than a dozen soldiers to Daming Mansion for several days, but none of them have returned yet.
If Liangshan was heavily guarded and all the scouts were captured and killed, then it would be okay. But the problem is that only Sun Li's scouts did not come back. Cai You's team all came back, and they all said that the investigation went well.
"You don't want me to go back!"
Sun Li drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp. It was obvious that Daming Mansion's attitude was that they would not accept his surrender.
"Why don't we forget it first and contact Liangshan through Sun Xin and the others."
Luan Tingyu said, they have no chance at Daming Mansion.
"No, I will never go back to Tokyo!"
Sun Li said decisively, he no longer wanted to be an undercover agent in fear.
"General, Prime Minister Cai invites the general to discuss matters!"
A soldier ran into the camp and said.
"What's up?"
Sun Li looked at the soldiers and asked.
"I heard that the enemy has left the city!"
The soldier replied.
"Out of town?"
Sun Li immediately got up and went to the Central Army. Today he must find out what those people in Daming Mansion meant.
Not long after, the officers and soldiers gathered together.
"Xiang Cai, our siege equipment has not been completed yet, I'm afraid we can only test it today!"
Li Cheng looked at Cai You and said.
"It's okay, just kill the enemy for a while today!"
Cai You opened his mouth and said that after the last military report was sent back to Tokyo, he was praised by the emperor. The emperor specially sent a eunuch to announce the commendation.
Cai You, who had tasted the sweetness, urgently needed another battle. He only needed a small victory and he could get another military report to claim credit.
Daming Mansion, the city gate opened, and Xiao Jiasui led everyone out of the city to form an array.
"Bold thieves who have lost their way and find their way back still have a chance to survive."
Cai You pointed at Xiao Jiasui and others and shouted.
"I really admire these officials. Their shame is probably thicker than the city walls of Daming Mansion, and their defeated generals dare to speak nonsense."
Pang Wanchun said speechlessly, maybe someone new might not think that Cai You has an absolute advantage.
"kill!"
Before Cai You could say anything else, Sun Li had already charged forward with a spear in hand. He must ask clearly today.
"I'll go meet him!"
Sun An rode out into battle holding two swords.
Sun Li stabbed Sun An with a spear. His stab looked fierce, but in fact it didn't have much murderous intent. Sun An easily blocked it with a wave of his black sword.
"I want to see Xiao Jiasui, I am also from Liangshan!"
Sun Li lowered his voice and said to Sun An. He knew Sun An and had dealt with him twice.
"I do not understand what you're saying!"
Sun An replied coldly.
"What do you mean, you obviously know me!"
Sun Li glared at Sun An and said sternly.
"Aren't you the imperial general's guide to virtue?"
Sun An looked at Sun Lidao.
"If you are like this, then I will go directly to Liangshan. I don't believe that Brother Sun Lei is like you!"
Seeing that Sun An still didn't recognize him, Sun Li said.
"Then it depends on your ability!"
Sun An swung his swords, causing Sun Li to retreat continuously.
Sun Li was furious and waved his spear to keep resisting. However, his martial arts skills were inferior to Sun An's and it was a bit difficult to parry.
Sun An was fighting Sun Li with sword after sword, and soon the two of them had deviated from the military formation and reached the woods on the side.
"Get in!"
Sun An yelled back and swung his swords suddenly, hitting Sun Li back several steps and directly into the woods.
"General Sun!"
Cai You looked anxious, but he didn't expect that Sun Li was no match for his enemy.
"That man is great with two swords!"
Suo Chao said, he was fighting with Sun An. The pair of black swords were so powerful and heavy that his ax could not be blocked. Sun Li was at a disadvantage with this spear.
"Go help!"
Cai You ordered.
A group of generals were about to go out on horseback, but there was a sound of breaking wind. Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun opened their bows at the same time, and several arrows landed in front of the army's formation.
"The first one will die!"
Hua Rong shouted with a cold snort.
The generals around Cai You did not dare to move. Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun would shoot two people to death one day, and they did not dare to try their incredible archery skills.
"I go!"
Luan Tingyu was very anxious when he saw this. Sun Li obviously couldn't resist Sun An, and he was probably in danger if he entered the woods now.
Luan Tingyu did not walk in front of the formation, but took a circuitous route from behind.
In the woods, Sun Li looked horrified. His spear could not be used in the woods. At this time, he could only rely on the iron whip on his waist.
Sun An held two swords and looked at Sun Li with a smile, but he had no intention of attacking, he just blocked Sun Li's way.
"Sun Li, why are you so nervous? You are a third-grade general of Guide!"
A familiar voice sounded.
"Brother Sun Lei!"
Sun Li suddenly turned around and saw Sun Lei sitting in the woods. There was a tea tray in front of Sun Lei, and boiling water was boiling on the small clay stove next to him.
"Come, sit down and have a cup of tea. It just so happens that the three of us are named Sun, and we are not outsiders!"
Sun Lei smiled and pointed to the small stool next to him.
Sun Li glanced at Sun An, then at Sun Lei, then got off the horse, stuck his spear on the ground, hung the iron whip on the saddle, and sat down in front of Sun Lei with his bare hands.
Sun An smiled when he saw this, put his swords back into their scabbards, and went over to sit down.
"elder brother……"
Sun Li opened his mouth to speak, but Sun Lei raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Have a cup of tea first!"
Sun Lei picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Sun Li and Sun An each.
Sun Li was very anxious. He wished he could follow Sun Lei back to Liangshan right now.
"The tea is good!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"Good tea! Brother, do you have any more?"
Sun An laughed.
"Of course, brothers are indispensable. The military supplies have been shipped here."
Sun Lei said with a smile that in this era there were no off-season planting technologies such as greenhouses. Vitamin supplementation for soldiers was a problem in winter, so tea became an important military commodity.
"elder brother……"
Sun Li said anxiously when he saw that Sun Lei and Sun An were still chatting.
"Brother Sun Li, I know you are impatient, but don't be impatient! I know you have grievances, but don't be impatient yet! I know you have your reasons, but let's not talk about them first. I understand your thoughts , but let’s not talk about that first!”
Sun Lei didn't wait for Sun Li to speak, and first spoke in an official tone, which made Sun Li speechless.
Sun Li looked aggrieved. He couldn't refute, but he was helpless. He was a completely aggrieved little daughter-in-law.
"I understand your difficulties, but it is not easy for Liangshan now. The war in the north has just ended, and there are many wastes waiting to be built everywhere. You must also understand the difficulties of Liangshan!"
"You are now a third-grade officer. This is what many people dream of all their lives. Wait until next year, I will let you be a Taiwei. By then, you will really be the number one military officer in the Song Dynasty. You can enjoy the glory and wealth in Tokyo first. Brother, I won't I will forget your contribution! If you have any concerns in the future, just write to me and I will make the decision for you."
Sun Lei looked at Sun Li and said.
"Brother, I want to go back to Liangshan!"
Sun Li's eyes were red as he watched Sun Lei speak with a choked voice. (End of chapter)
