On March 13th, the sun was in the sky. An army finally arrived at the city of Suzhou in a dusty manner. It was the main force under Zhu Jie, the former Suzhou garrison. In a large and luxurious carriage in the middle of the army, Zhu Jie was sitting upright, looking at the familiar city with confidence, and said in his heart that I am finally back.

Although he had only escaped from Suzhou for less than a year, he felt like he was a different life for Zhu Xie and his subordinates. Thinking that he was suddenly broken in Suzhou that day, he could only look embarrassed without caring about other things, and coming back today made many people feel happy to get revenge.

At this time, the entire army was just thinking about entering the city as soon as possible and returning to a familiar place, so they didn't stop too much and headed straight towards the open north gate. But just when they came to the suspension bridge, a few yells came from the city: "Who is coming? How dare you trespass on my Suzhou City? Stop quickly and report your identity, otherwise we will shoot arrows!" In order to show our attitude, the soldiers on the city immediately showed a row of arrows flashing with cold light, and a large number of soldiers rushed out from the city gate, holding swords and spears, blocking the team's way.

This posture made the team of more than 10,000 people stop immediately, and many people were a little confused, but the generals in the lead sank, and Zhu Xie's confidant general immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "It's really blind to your eyes. Didn't you see Zhu Shuai's banner? You dare to stop him and be careful of your head!"

"Get out of the way, and then pass a message to Sun Tu, and say that Zhu Shuai is here, and let his subordinates come to greet him quickly!" Then someone shouted loudly, completely arrogantly as if he was calling his subordinates.

But his words were not very useful at all. The defenders at the city were quick to apologize as he thought. They even took the bows and arrows in front of them, but they still looked nervous and alert: "Sun Qian has a life, and Suzhou is not peaceful now. To prevent changes, the army cannot enter the city! You can enter the city, and you can only get one hundred people at most!" The voice was firm, without any comfort.

"A bastard, how dare you speak like this? Suzhou is ours!" An officer didn't know if he was really angry or wanted to show his feelings in front of Zhu Xie. After a angrily scolding, he urged his horse to rush forward, and he was about to break through the door directly.

He thought that the defenders on the city were afraid to do anything to him. After all, he was a sixth-rank general, but he was much higher than these big-headed soldiers. But after he rushed two steps, he heard a string sound from his head, and then a sharp arrow broke through the air, which scared him to freeze and screamed, but he had no time to dodge. With a puff, the arrow had penetrated into the body of the horse under his crotch. The horse had already fallen to the ground with a whine cry, and it threw the unlucky guy directly to the ground, making him scream, so miserable.

This scared the others. They had never encountered such a thing in the past because of their abilities and their power. The footsteps of several military generals who wanted to rush up stopped immediately, with their faces blue and white. I don’t know whether they were shocked or angry. But in addition to being shocked and angry, no one dared to step forward to break through the door again. It would be a shame or something. If they were really injured by an arrow, the crime would be a big deal.

Zhu Xie, who saw all this, was really angry. Suzhou was his nest. He had lost all his face before being attacked by the rebels. Now that the Shandong Army is still obstructing him so much, he even slapped him in the face in public. Suddenly, he was sitting in the carriage and watching him could no longer bear it, and immediately shouted: "Go up and let me talk to them, so he dared to stop me!"

This is a luxury carriage drawn by eight horses of the same color. Its specifications are almost used by kings and princes. The road is fast and stable on weekdays, but when used as Zhu Xie, it is very suspicious of usurpation. Of course, Zhu Xie lived a life like a local emperor in Jiangnan. He had too many things to do, and he didn't care about such one more thing.

The carriage soon arrived at the front of the team and stopped at the bottom of the city. Zhu Xie showed his body and rushed up and shouted loudly: "I am Zhu Xie, who dares to stop me!" As he said that, he asked the driver to drive directly into the city.

The defenders at the top of the city and in front of the city gate really dared not attack him. Even if these soldiers knew what he did behind his back, they would not dare to attack an important official of the court without Sun Tu's instructions.

Under Zhu Jie's leadership, the others quickly became bolder and immediately followed him. As they walked forward step by step, the hundred defenders at the gate could only keep retreating, and were about to retreat into the gate.

At this moment, a group of people rushed over from the city, and the leader was Sun Tu. When he had spoken to stop them before, the officers at the city gate sent someone to send a letter to Sun Tu as soon as possible. The latter was patrolling the north gate and rushed over as soon as possible.

When he saw Zhu Xie's luxurious carriage, a flash of light flashed in Sun Tu's eyes, but then he hid again. He immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Stop, stop me!" After two loud shouts, the tension at the city gate was a pause. Even Zhu Xie showed his face again and hummed: "Sun Tu, you are so majestic. You dare to block my way back to the city!"

"So it's really the arrival of Zhu Shuai. I hope to forgive the crime if the subordinates have misfortune!" Sun Tu strode over with a little surprise, saying that he was apologizing, but he just tilted his hands slightly, without any fear. As for the hundreds of personal soldiers behind him, they stood like javelins and looked directly at the military horses at the city gate. Although there were more than 10,000 people, they were not afraid at all.

Before and after arriving at the carriage, Sun Tucai smiled and said, "Shuai Zhu, you don't know anything. Since the officials took the risk of taking down Suzhou City, the anti-army sent several groups of troops to pretend to do something wrong. Although they were eventually wiped out, there was also a lot of noise. Then he ordered the city gate to be strictly guarded and the large teams were not allowed to enter."

"Hmph, do you still suspect that this coach is coming? Ask them to get out of the way, and you can't pursue this matter, otherwise..."

"Ship Zhu, please forgive me. Since the military order is released, I will not let you play the trick. So please forgive me for not obeying the order!" Sun Tu replied without any retreat. As he said this, the atmosphere at the scene became even colder, and then many soldiers gathered around him. Although the number was only two or three thousand, the evil spirit they exuded was much stronger than Zhu Xie's confidant army.

At the same time, a few more horns sounded in the city and the flags swayed, and I don’t know how many people were rushing towards this side. This posture alone put great pressure on Zhu Jie’s troops. They all knew how good the Shandong army was to fight, and it was common for them to defeat the wall with a weak force, not to mention that their troops now have an absolute advantage.

For a moment, the arrogance of these people was immediately extinguished. All the soldiers who wanted to flock into the city stopped, and the people behind continued to walk back, fearing that they would cause unnecessary conflicts.

Seeing this, even Zhu Jie felt nervous. The anger on his face gradually turned into a little timid, but he still forced himself to support himself and shouted, "Sun Tu, are you trying to rebel?"

"I dare not." Sun Tu's answer was neither humble nor arrogant: "The officials did this just for the stability of Suzhou. After all, there are lessons from the past, so I have to be careful!"

"You... are you planning to let me stay outside the city? Is there such a reason?"

"The officials have already said that Zhu Shuai and all the generals can enter the city to rest, but the army and horses under their command will be aggrieved and stationed outside the city. At least I will not dare to let everyone enter Suzhou after confirming that there is no problem with the army and horses here."

After staring at Sun Tu for a long time, Zhu Jie finally let out a breath of turbid air and a smile appeared on his face: "It turns out that Qianli is also out of public aspirations. That handsome man is not good at breaking the rules of the army. Just as you said, keep the people outside the city, but the two hundred personal soldiers I have to follow in."

If someone familiar with Zhu Jie is here, when he sees his reaction, he will know that this is his extremely angry expression. The easier it is for him to speak at this time, the more gentle he will be, the more terrifying it will be when he takes revenge.

"Yes, but they are not allowed to bring their bows and crossbows into the city, so as to ensure the safety of Zhu Shuai. Don't worry, your subordinate will do his best to ensure your safety and will never let anyone hurt you." Sun Tu made an exception and agreed, but put forward new conditions.

Zhu Jie's smile on his face became a little more: "Okay, just as you said, take out the crossbow and let's go into the city. The others will stay outside the city and wait for the army behind to arrive!" To be honest, he really regretted his decision to come back in a hurry. If he had known this, he would not have brought only more than 10,000 direct troops to come, but should have come with other soldiers from all walks of life, which would be more confident.

Sun Tu just couldn't feel his anger and murderous intent, but just smiled and responded. But just as the carriage was about to continue moving forward, Sun Tu stopped him: "Slow down!"

"How are you still here? Sun Qianli, don't be too arrogant!" This time, even though Zhu Xie was so cunning, he was already angry.

"Please get off the car. It's not too late for my people to check this car and then enter the city again." Sun Tu pointed to Zhu Xie's car and said with a solemn expression: "This car is not small, and it's hard to guarantee that there will be nothing hidden."

"You..." Zhu Xie was so angry that his body trembled. He was really too bullying! If he had not made any compromises before, he might have turned around and left the city and waited for the other troops to come before making a counterattack. But now, he had already endured a lot of stinginess before, and it was even more unprofitable to turn around and leave. So after hesitating, he finally got off the carriage with a hatred, but did not really ask Sun Tu to send someone to check his carriage, but directly asked someone to help him get on the horse, and then rode his horse in without looking back, and the carriage was taken out of the city.

This time, although Sun Tu offended Zhu Jie to death, he also severely slapped his subordinates. These men and horses dared not talk nonsense, so they could only be stationed outside the city.
