Chapter 44 The Desire of the People
Su Yi, the founding emperor of the Great Liang, ended the troubled times, unified the Central Plains and Kyushu, and created the country called Liang, and the turbulent Kyushu finally ushered in the long-lost peace.
But Su Qi'an also knew that any dynasty, even a feudal dynasty like Da Liang, which had no history at all, would experience prosperity and decline, which was the fate of the dynasty.
After more than 100 years of recuperation and recuperation, the armament of Daliang was slackened, and the emperors and high-ranking officials of the dynasty indulged in a beautiful illusion of peace.
Unexpectedly, the foreign races in the north came to attack, and they actually broke through the border towns of Qing and Youzhou in one fell swoop.
The alien race lives in the northern grasslands, and is good at cavalry raids, driving all the way to Kyoto.
Although in the end, relying on the famous general Xie Yu and the galloping aid of the armies of various states, they finally succeeded in resisting the cavalry of the foreign race less than a hundred miles away from Kyoto.
After 100 days of battle, the alien cavalry army was finally defeated, but after this battle, the national strength of Daliang gradually faded, and the vitality was greatly damaged, and he had to sue for peace and show weakness.
After another half a year of negotiation and talks, Da Liang finally humiliated and ceded the natural defense line of Qing and Youzhou, in exchange for nearly two hundred years of peace.
With the territory of Qing and Youzhou, the strength of the northern alien races has grown, and in the next 50 years, it will be a great glory to build the country.
In the confrontation with Da Liang, there was no major war in 200 years, but there was a small-scale war and constant friction.
Because of the loss of the natural terrain defense line of the two states of Qing and Youzhou, Da Liang can basically only defend passively.
Therefore, this is why Xie Cang was so anxious and panicked after encountering such a great talent as Su Qi'an, hoping that he could go to the northern front line all the way.
Every time a war starts, the northern alien races will send spies and dead soldiers to go deep into Daliang to investigate intelligence, sabotage and other tasks.
But this time, the alien race actually sent the dead into Lingbei County? It's weird.
Lingbei County is in the west of Daliang, the traffic is blocked, the roads are mountainous, and the road is rugged, and if you want to enter Xizhou, you will get lost without a local acquaintance to lead the way.
Now that the war in the north has started, in such a remote Lingbei County, there will be such a dead soldier of an alien race, and you don't have to think about it, you can guess that their plan is not simple.
Xie Cang and Su Qi'an stared at each other, and they could see the worry in each other's eyes.
I thought it was just a small bandit, but I didn't expect to dig out something so deep in the end.
And in the iron mine in front of them, everyone was no longer interested, and Scar Liu led everyone to come just to bury them alive.
Now that the plan has been revealed, and he committed suicide by taking poison, this iron mine is fake if he thinks about it, if there are such huge war resources, will the mysterious boss leave it to them? Joke.
With such ambition and such a plan, even Su Qi'an had to admit that if he met this big boss in the future, this person would definitely be a difficult opponent.
Scar Liu is dead, and the clue is completely broken, which is a pity, but it can only be accepted like this.
Looking back at the current total clues, it is certain that from the current point of view, no matter how strong the ability and far-reaching layout of this departed big boss is, it is impossible for Chuandu County to fall into chaos.
If it weren't for good luck, this person would have been able to breathe in Dongzi Mountain for a few years, if he had determined this person's identity from the beginning.
It wasn't just a few hundred soldiers who came, no matter how vicious the bandits in Dongzi Mountain were.
In the territory controlled by Da Liang, the siege alone has to consume them to death.
After turning around the back mountain, no new things were found, Xie Cang turned his head and looked at Fang Jingdao.
"Lord Fang, this time it was your dereliction of duty, if it wasn't for Mr. Su this time, if you were giving them a few years of development, Lord Fang was afraid that he would lose his position."
"Xie Hou is right, this time it is the official's dereliction of duty, after today, the official will immediately take this opportunity to properly investigate the bandits in the mountains in Lingbei County, once discovered, immediately eradicate it, and show no mercy."
Fang Jingzhi replied with a nervous face.
Today's incident really made him a little afraid, if the bandits in Dongzi Mountain were just a group of outlaws who robbed homes and houses, it was nothing to the other party.
But if it is related to the Darong spies and dead soldiers in the north, it will be very terrifying.
As Xie Cang said, if it weren't for Su Qi'an's determination to completely eradicate these bandits this time, with his urine nature, I am afraid that he would have to raise tigers to cause trouble.
In a few years of development, not only Lingbei County will suffer, but also the counties next door will be affected.
Fortunately, all this was snuffed out in the cradle in time.
For Xie Cang's reminder, Fang Jingzhi was naturally grateful, and bowed his hand to Xie Cang again and again.
After this incident, the bandits in Dongzi Mountain were basically wiped out, and as for how to deal with the remaining captured bandits, Su Qi'an had already explained, and the matter was handed over to Fang Jingzhi to solve.
Retracting their gaze, Su Qi'an and Xie Cang turned around and walked towards the bottom of the mountain, and stopped next to a corpse covered with a white cloth.
This person is Wang Er, who took the lead in fighting against the water, although he was slippery and observant, but when attacking the mountain, he was still shot by a flying stray arrow and died on the spot.
Su Qi'an sighed and said to a soldier behind him, "Collect him and bury him, I'll pay for it." ”
Subsequently, he and Xie Cang went down the mountain without looking back, this time the bandits not only eliminated the trouble for Fang Jingzhi, but also solved Su Qi'an's worries.
Next, Su Qi'an planned to stay in the village for a while, and after a month, he and Xie Cang would go to the northern battlefield.
Originally, Su Qi'an refused to the northern border ahead, and he finally lived in Daliang for a lifetime, just wanting to live a stable life.
With his own ability, he will make a small name and make a small fortune, and in a small mountain village, he will be a rich man and live a good life with Qin Ziyin.
But as time passed, Su Qi'an found that he was becoming more and more involuntarily, and if he wanted to realize his wish, he could only climb up little by little.
Only in this way can Su Qi'an protect himself.
And during this county test, Xie Cang helped him the most, and Su Qi'an will definitely repay this kindness.
And Xie Cang's speech was very straightforward, if Su Qi'an was refusing, it would really seem too inhuman.
Just took advantage of this trip to the northern border, and also made Su Qi'an familiar with the current environment of Daliang.
Only in this way, one day in the future, Da Liang suddenly suffers a great change, and Su Qi'an will have the strength to fight back.
Su Qi'an and Xie Cang went all the way down the mountain and were escorted away by soldiers, hundreds of miles away, on the periphery of Lingbei County.
One of the patrolling officials, suddenly, an ordinary-looking officer, who was not very tall by his side, ran out holding his stomach and asked the captain for leave.
The team leader looked at his subordinates so useless, and scolded with a smile, "Liu Da, tell your kid to eat less yesterday, your kid is like a starving ghost reincarnated, and now you have a bad stomach." ”
"I'll give you a quarter of an hour, hurry up, and return to the team by yourself when the time comes."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Captain."
After speaking, the official seemed to be unable to help it, and trotted all the way to a bush, and the officials who looked funny laughed loudly.
Under the beckoning of the squad leader, the officials quickly left.
Not long after the officials left, Liu Da, who had a funny face just now, seemed to be a different person.
His stupid eyes showed a fierce and cunning look at the moment, and his gaze looked to the left front.
That direction was the famous Dongzi Mountain, Liu Da looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said softly.
"There should be a lot of casualties in the Liang soldiers this time, and it's a pity that I didn't see it with my own eyes."
"If it weren't for the Lord's urgent conquest, this Dongzi Mountain would be a really good place, it's a pity that these cool people are meat, but the task is also completed, so it's not what happened to others."
"Hehe, cool people, next time, it must be me Darong sweeping everything, this is ours after all, you are all Darong's slaves!"
Liu Da's face showed a little cold, and then he stepped out, and in a few breaths, Liu Da's figure disappeared from the small forest...
The villagers of Dongshan Village, except for the injured who need to go home to take care of them, most of the others will gather at the entrance of the village, looking anxiously ahead.
Dongzi Mountain is not far from Dongshan Village, and Xie Cang and others are large-scale operations, the explosion on Dongzi Mountain just now, they can hear it clearly under the mountain.
Although they were ordinary villagers and had no knowledge, they naturally knew the fierceness of the crackdown on bandits with the explosion of black powder.
It was the first time in Lingbei County that black powder could be used to suppress bandits, and the villagers were anxious in their hearts, but they did not show it.
This crackdown on bandits is also of great significance to them, once the bandits in Dongzishan are eliminated, Dongshan Village can really live a peaceful life.
And this time it was a big person in their village who led the team, Mr. Su, if it wasn't for his own help, he would have to follow and contribute.
The wait was long, and they waited almost from daylight until it got dark, but none of the villagers left.
After waiting for almost half an hour, it was completely dark, and suddenly, in the darkness ahead, there was a sudden sound of low and neat footsteps.
The torches in their hands looked particularly conspicuous, and some bold villagers stepped forward with courage, and after observing for a while, excited voices sounded.
"It's Sue... Sir, it's Mr. Su who is back!"
Suddenly, the villagers who were waiting for the Hou rushed up, and after a while, they surrounded Su Qi'an and Xie Cang.
Looking at the familiar villagers in front of him, Su Qi'an also nodded, looked around, and said loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after this battle, I declare that the bandits in Dongzi Mountain have been completely suppressed, and the bandits in Dongshan Village are worried."
As soon as these words came out, the gathered villagers immediately erupted in fierce shouts, and many of them cried tears.
This news is what they have been looking forward to for so many years, and what they want to hear the most, the bandits in Dongzi Mountain used to be a big stone in the hearts of many villagers, and it is also a kind of shadow that lingers for a long time.
Now, under the leadership of Su Qi'an, the bandits in Dongzi Mountain have been completely exterminated, how can this not make the villagers excited.
In this excitement, the villagers who surrounded them immediately couldn't help but kneel down, no matter how Su Qi'an persuaded them, they refused to get up.
The village chief Li and other prestigious elders in the village said sincerely to Su Qi'an.
"In the future, everything in Dongshan Village will be based on Mr. Su's horse, and whoever has disrespect to Mr. Su will be driven out of Dongshan Village immediately, you can agree."
"Agreed!"
"We agree!"
At this moment, Dongshan Village is the real leader of Su Qi'an and gathering together, which is the real desire of the people.
