Chapter 171: Caught the Messenger

In the hall of the Qi Mansion, the anxious Qi Hu was at a loss, like an ant on a hot pot, walking around constantly, and he now knew what the Qi family's army had done when they searched the city.

Shouguang City is not very big, and the army of 10,000 Qi families can go through the entire Shouguang City in less than two hours, and when Qihu received the report of chaos in the city, it was already two hours later.

Qihu had a headache, he knew that he had given a very wrong order, his soldiers were all from bandits, burning, killing and looting was their business, let them search the whole city, wouldn't that just let them rob and plunder openly?

Originally, he had already been hated by the eight great families because of the disappearance of the eight masters, and now because of one of his wrong orders, the Qi family army has offended the common people in the city, as well as other big families, and he has offended all the people in Shouguang City!

What to do? What to do?

Apologize? It's useless, the damage has appeared, the big mistake has been made, it's not a word of sorry that is useful!

Compensate the victims and severely punish the wrongdoers? Qihu's head is bigger, not to mention how much property the soldiers looted, just say that the 10,000 soldiers who participated in the search of the city, how many people can he punish?

Moreover, he has now offended the people of Quanshou Guangcheng, and the Qi family army is his last reliance, and now he severely punishes those errant soldiers, isn't it just to let him cut off his own life? Maybe he has just issued an order to severely punish the errant soldiers, and when he turns back, he will be cut off from the neck of his own soldiers.

Why don't you eradicate the eight great families to kill Liwei?

Qihu was frightened, he was frightened by the idea that came to him in an instant!

After a while, Qihu returned to normal, but he thought about it in his heart......

……

There is a small forest next to the official road leading to Shouguang County in Qiancheng County, and at this time a cavalry team of more than 10,000 people is stationed in it.

Two days ago, Su Shang led the army into Qiancheng County at night, and after the allied army posted a notice to calm the people, and Su Shang personally met with the heads of various families in the city in the county government, the panicked people in Qiancheng County were settled, and even some ordinary people went to the streets to celebrate. Ever since the various policies implemented by the Allied forces in Donglai County spread to Qiancheng County, they have long been looking forward to the Allied Army's entry into Qiancheng County!

As for the big families of Qiancheng County, they also welcomed the arrival of the Allied Army! Although because of the policy implemented by the Allied Army, it will also cause resistance from some big families in various places, but in Qiancheng County, those families who have opinions about the Allied Army have long been secretly eradicated by Zhang Lihong and others who lurked in Qiancheng County in advance, and now the remaining big families in the city all agree with the policy of the Allied Army!

After calming the hearts of the people in Qiancheng County, Su Shang arranged for the generals to reorganize all the 1,000 city guards and defenders, and then arranged for 500 allied cavalry soldiers and 500 Xincheng guards to stay in Qiancheng County.

The grove is less than thirty miles away from Shouguang City, and the cavalry only needs to march normally for an hour to arrive, and the cavalry team pauses here to rest, replenish energy, and recover physical strength, just to prepare for the upcoming tear kill!

"Tell the marshal, two major events happened in Shouguang City last night, the Zhangjia industry Shouguang Building in the city was burned, more than a dozen charred wreckage was found at the scene, the head of the eight major families in the city, and the future heirs of his family disappeared at the same time, suspected of being burned to death by the fire of Shouguang Tower, the legend in the city that these two things were done by Qihu, and now the family members in the city are uneasy, and the Qijia army is searching in the city in the name of arresting the murderer, and the looting has caused strong dissatisfaction among the people in the city!"

In the center of the army, Su Shang and the generals were listening to the report of the scout, this scout was sent by Luo Cheng, who arrived outside Shouguang City a day in advance, and had just arrived!

Su Xing's ability is good! This Shouguang City's cleaning operation was completed beautifully!

Su Shang secretly praised in his heart, but his face was silent, and he said to the generals with a smile: "It seems that the heavens still favor us very much, and if Qihu is in the city like this, it will be much easier for us to take over Shouguang City!"

All the generals laughed, the marshal said well, the Qijia army is now in Shouguang City, the hearts of the people are completely lost, the big families, the common people, all hate them, after the alliance army enters the city, as long as these guilty Qi family soldiers are killed, you can collect the hearts of the people of Shouguang City!

At this time, Su Dingchang suddenly thought of a possibility, "Marshal, will Qihu severely punish the bandits who committed crimes in order to win back people's hearts?" ”

Su Shang shook his head, "Probably not!" This Qihu has already offended the big families in the city, and now he can only rely on the Qi family's bandit army, if he severely punishes the bandit army who committed crimes at this time, it will make him lose his military spirit and kill himself! ”

"Marshal, is it possible for Qihu to kill Liwei and directly attack the Eight Great Families? As long as these eight great families are eradicated, they can not only deter other families, but also temporarily stabilize the hearts of the people in the city. Su Dingchang thought of another possibility and asked humbly.

Su Shang was stunned, this question surprised him a little, this possibility was too ruthless, he hadn't thought about it yet!

At this moment, several scouts galloped over on their horses, "Report to the marshal, catch a Qi family bandit!" ”

A Qi family bandit soldier who was tied hand and foot and gagged his mouth was flipped off his horse by two scouts. Fell to the ground with a thud!

The captain of the scout stepped forward and took off the rag from the bandit's mouth, "Report to the marshal, this bandit was caught on the official road ten miles away from Shouguang City, and he has not been interrogated yet!" ”

Su Shang nodded, stepped forward and stared at the bandit soldiers for a while, and said expressionlessly: "We are the allies of Donglai County, and we are about to take over Shouguang City, tell me what you know, not only can you survive, but you can even make your family live better!"

Hearing this, the bandit's originally pale face suddenly turned red and white, he was fighting for whether to betray Qi Gongshun, and after a long time, he lowered his head and said with shame on his face: "The villain is a scout letter soldier, and he is preparing to go to Dongyang City to deliver a letter to Qi Gong!" The letter was hidden in the villain's hair. ”

Su Shang motioned for the scout captain to come forward to collect the letter, and then asked, "How is the situation in Shouguang City?"

"Shouguang City ......"

After the bandits stabilized their mood, they quickly explained in detail all the recent events in Shouguang City, and finally added: "The villain left the city an hour ago!" Before the villain left the city, Qihu was summoning all the generals to Qifu for a meeting, and as for what Qihu wanted to do, the villain didn't know! ”

Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
