Chapter 1122: He Has Other Purposes
Su Xuan smiled faintly and arched his hand, "Ben Chitose is polite."
"Chitose Lord, please." Cui Yuanye turned sideways and made a gesture of please.
Su Xuan nodded and entered the city surrounded by everyone.
Xu Ershou, who was following behind, muttered, "Why, after meeting Master Chitose, don't you meet General Ben?"
When Cui Yuanye heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "I've seen General Xu."
"That's pretty much it!"
Xu Ershou held his head high and was proud.
Cui Yuanye greeted Su Xuan into the side hall of the governor's yamen and asked Su Xuan to take a seat.
He winked, and the governor immediately retreated.
At this time, only Su Xuan, Xu Ershou and Cui Yuanye were left in the side hall.
Cui Yuanye got up and bowed to Su Xuan.
"The life of the dog, thank you Chitose for saving me. I don't thank you for my great kindness, and in the future, Lord Chitose will be useful to me, despite words." Cui Yuanye said respectfully.
"Don't be so polite, just cash it out." Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, don't fix these empty heads, our adults like to talk about practicality." Xu Ershou said with a smile.
"This ......"
Cui Yuanye contacted Su Xuan for the first time, but he didn't expect Su Xuan to be quite unique.
He only knew that Su Xuan was coming to Jizhou, so he rushed over from Qinghe County as soon as possible. But he didn't know what Su Xuan was here to do.
Could it be that he came here for the matter of the Wang family in Zezhou?
Su Xuan's departure from Wudu City is already known to the world.
Now Su Xuanlong is entrenched in Yanzhou, which can be said to be one of the most powerful separatist forces in the Great Yan Dynasty.
It's not because of how many soldiers and horses Su Xuan has.
Yanzhou is vast and sparsely populated, mostly mountainous, and the population of the entire Yanzhou is not more than half of the population of Jizhou.
But no one would think that Su Xuan would be weak because of the small population under his rule.
Since Su Xuan came out of the mountain in Yuecheng, his strength has never been linked to the number of people.
"I'm also very sorry that I couldn't keep Mr. Cui Dingcui by kidding Mr. Cui." Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Where does Chitose Ye say, Chitose Ye can keep Inuzi Ji'er, it is already a great kindness." Cui Yuanye said.
Kier......
The corners of Su Xuan's mouth twitched slightly.
On weekdays, Cui Yuanye doesn't care about Cui Shenji as Ji'er, right?
"It's good that Mr. Choi can understand." Su Xuan smiled and nodded.
At this time, tea came.
"Chitose Lord, this is the best hairy tip, tribute tea, you taste it." Cui Yuanye said with a smile.
Su Xuan took a sip and said, "General."
"Can't this kind of tea enter the eyes of the Chitose Lord? But it's normal, Chitose Ye usually goes in and out of the palace, and there are more tea leaves that are better than this green tea." Cui Yuanye said with a smile.
"Ben Chitose is here to ask you, why did you fight with the Zezhou Wang clan? Not long ago, the emperor issued a decree for you to stop fighting. You stopped, but you have tens of thousands of troops around Xianfeng, what are you trying to do?" Su Xuan asked lightly.
"This ......"
Cui Yuanye really didn't know how to answer this question.
The reason why the two sides fought before was naturally the incident provoked by the Qinghe Cui clan.
Xianfeng County had originally been included in the boundary of Zezhou, and the Qinghe Cui clan had already agreed.
Of course, they didn't dare to disagree back then.
But now, they claim that Xianfeng County is their Jizhou territory and want to take over Xianfeng County.
But the Wang family of Zezhou naturally refused to do it.
Originally, Cui's and Wang's were also good friends, after all, the two sides were close to each other, and there were many business contacts between the two sides.
Now that the world is in turmoil, all parties support their own troops, and the Qinghe Cui clan is inexplicably vying for the territory of the Zezhou Wang clan, how can the Zezhou Wang clan obediently give up a county seat?
The land affairs of a county are small, if the Wang family of Zezhou takes a step back and directly cedes a county seat, wouldn't it
Does it mean that Zezhou Wang's is equal to a soft persimmon and can be manipulated by anyone?
If the Wang family disagrees, the Qinghe Cui family is not happy.
So Qinghe Cui sent 10,000 troops to Xianfeng County.
Originally, Qinghe Cui really didn't want to fight directly, so he just sent someone over to make a show.
Their men and horses didn't come forward to call for battle, but as a result, one or two thousand cavalry rushed out of Xianfeng County, and they caught the Qinghe Cui clan off guard.
Qinghe Cui's family saw it, and then became angry.
So the two sides started working in Xianfeng County.
Later, neither side took advantage of anything, and the fighting spirit was not thorough enough.
So I called back and forth, and every day was a symbolic way to come out and slip away.
It is impossible for the Qinghe Cui clan to suppress the entire army, and it is impossible for the Zezhou Wang clan to send the entire army to Xianfeng County to confront the Qinghe Cui clan.
Both sides immediately calmed down.
Then the will of the court arrived, so the two sides stopped fighting.
Originally, this was just a conflict that shouldn't have been, and both sides had a step, and they both went down.
No one lost, no one shadowed, and they didn't lose much face.
However, the Wang clan of Zezhou suddenly increased its troops by 5,000 and stationed them outside Xianfeng County.
Qinghe Cui's didn't know what the Zezhou Wang clan was going to do, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses came to the door, and the Cui clan had to guard against it, so they also increased their troops by 5,000 to Xianfeng.
In this way, the two sides hoarded more than 40,000 soldiers and horses on the border.
The two armies confronted each other, but this time neither took the lead.
Cui Yuanye roughly explained what had happened.
After hearing this, Su Xuan asked, "So you two fought and just made an oolong joke?"
"Sort of." Cui Yuanye replied.
"What about the fools? Putting tens of thousands of soldiers and horses just to look good?" Su Xuan said coldly.
Although Su Xuan is young, he is already an old fox.
Cui Yuanye's words may be true, he has also investigated, and things are almost like this.
But who knows what kind of calculation Cui Yuanye is making?
Cui Yuanye did have other purposes.
First, he wanted to test the strength of the Wang clan in Zezhou. The Qinghe Cui clan has recruited more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the scale is extremely large, and the daily support has increased.
With so many troops, it is absolutely impossible to keep them all the time. Otherwise, the supply of food and grass will not be available at that time, and there is a very high possibility of mutiny in the army.
Because some of the people in the army are rogues.
So Qinghe Cui's clan is definitely going to fight.
Now they basically ignore the laws of the imperial court, and it is only a matter of time before they fight.
But below the Qinghe Cui clan is the Central Plains, and on the right is Yanzhou.
It is impossible for them to come up and beat the Central Plains, let alone fight Yanzhou when they come up.
So who can they hit? Only to hit Zezhou on the left.
This is just Cui Yuanye's first purpose.
He had other purposes.
