Su Qi'an has been in Dongshan Village for more than 20 days, in addition to rehearsing this drama and appeasing these foreign villagers.

The rest of the time was not idle, the Orion team was trained well, and some foreign young adults were absorbed, and the size of the Orion team this time was doubled compared to before.

There are more than fifty people, and these newly recruited outsiders have all been specially screened by Su Qi'an before they can join the Orion team.

After all, the Orion team is concerned about the safety of Dongshan Village, and Su Qi'an will naturally be particularly concerned, if nothing else, this group of fifty Orion team is Su Qi'an's belly.

And if he is selected for the Orion team, Su Qi'an will make up an extra one or two pieces of silver every month, and this money is all from Su Qi'an.

The current Su Qi'an is not the ordinary poor literati he was at the beginning, not to mention his own fame, he will have a salary of fifty taels every month.

Some time ago, the bandits were distributed to Su Qi'an, and there were more than 3,000 taels, if Su Qi'an stayed in Dongshan Village with peace of mind, he would already be a rich man.

After more than 20 days of training, this 50-member Orion team has formed a certain combat capability.

Although it could not reach the level of a battle-hardened soldier, it was more than enough to defend the village.

Dongshan Village is not only the Orion team, Li Xiaomei's women's team also plays a considerable role in intelligence.

In the entire Dongshan Village, once there is any wind and grass, within a few minutes, it will reach Su Qi'an's ears.

Moreover, after joining this group of outsiders, the intelligence work was extended to nearby villages.

It's not subtle, but it's a good start.

There is an Orion team patrolling day and night outside, and Li Xiaomei's women's team inside has found out the news, plus Su Qi'an and Fang Jingzhi have greeted each other this time.

Now the safety of Dongshan Village is second only to the wealthy families such as Lingbei County.

There were a few more heavy ballistas that were built in an urgent manner during this time, as well as the five explosives that Su Qi'an secretly handed over to Li Hu.

With so much backhand cooperation, Dongshan Village should not have any problems during the time when Su Qi'an left.

Su Qi'an and Qin Ziyin hugged each other and said goodbye, then turned over and said to Fang Jingzhi.

"Lord Fang, this time Su left, Dongshan Village was handed over to the adults to take care of, and Su is grateful here."

"Su Juren, this is polite, this is what this county should do, this county is here, I wish Su Juren a smooth expedition, and look forward to the triumph of Su Juren."

"Xie Hou and Su Juren take care all the way."

Su Qi'an and Xie Cang nodded, then turned around and galloped wildly, raising a cloud of dust, and disappeared away in the blink of an eye, with a hundred soldiers behind him, running to follow.

This time, Su Qi'an and Xie Cang are going to Ningzhou, an important town on the northern border.

Ningzhou is in the northernmost part of Daliang, and Xizhou in Lingbei County, where Su Qi'an is located, is at least thousands of miles apart.

Even if you don't eat or drink, it will take a week, but fortunately, this military order is not in a hurry, and it is enough for Su Qi'an and Xie Cang to hurry.

Xie Cang did not go straight to the Ningzhou border at the first time, but diverted from Lingbei County to Lingdong County.

Lingdong County was Xie Cang's fiefdom and the garrison of his Split Mountain Army.

On this departure, Xie Cang will definitely take away the Split Mountain Army, only with the army in hand, can he have real confidence in his heart.

Xie Cang had just stepped into the boundary of Lingdong County, and before he had reached the county seat, suddenly, in front of him, thick smoke rose, and at the same time, the ground was accompanied by a low sound of horse stepping.

The voice was low, and after a while, at the end of the line of sight, a group of soldiers wearing black armor and riding military horses quickly approached.

From a distance, it looks like a majestic mountain, and that kind of momentum makes people feel an inexplicable impact in their hearts.

The black-armored soldiers, who were like mountains, stopped in time when they were only about ten meters away from Xie Cang.

Then he turned over and dismounted, put his right hand across his chest, and signaled the military salute, and at the same time, an earth-shattering low roar sounded.

"The whole army of the Split Mountain Army has been assembled, please review it with Master Hou!"

Xie Cang sat on the horse, returned the salute, nodded with satisfaction, and then chuckled at Su Qi'an beside him.

"Mr. Su, how is my Split Mountain Army?"

"Mighty, domineering, calm like a mountain, as the so-called immovable as a mountain, moving as a rabbit, and as powerful as a broken bamboo."

Su Qi'an was silent for a while, then glanced at the black-armored soldier and gave his own evaluation.

This Split Mountain Army gave Su Qi'an a rather different feeling, compared with the soldiers of the county town behind him, both in terms of momentum and strength could not be compared.

The soldiers of the county town participated the most in the suppression of bandits, and some of the peaceful uprisings and turmoil.

And the Split Mountain Army in front of him has really experienced the baptism of iron and fire on the battlefield.

On the surface, there seems to be only the calmness of thick smoke on his body, but the killing aura is much less.

But this is just the appearance, once this Split Mountain Army really moves, that powerful killing aura is enough to deter most people from moving.

This is the difference between a regular army and a local army.

The Split Mountain Army is not only Xie Cang's most powerful hole card, but also one of the top ten strongest armies in the Daliang army.

If it was this army that had exterminated the bandits in Dongzi Mountain, even if Dongzi Mountain was made of iron buckets, the Split Mountain Army would be able to poke a hole in it, which was the strength of the Split Mountain Army.

The Split Mountain Army was not all infantry, but a comprehensive army, with 1,000 cavalry, 1,000 heavy armor, and 1,000 special operations soldiers.

Such as dead soldiers, assaults, scouts, logistics, etc., these are special operations soldiers.

It seems that it has weakened its combat power, but compared with those pure single armies, the Split Mountain Army in Xie Cang's hands has been maximized.

It is by relying on the mutual cooperation of this Split Mountain Army, in every big battle, only Xie Cang's Split Mountain Army is becoming more and more courageous, and it is also an important sharp knife that is the key to breaking the stalemate.

This is also the reason why Xie Cang was able to be encircled by the Duke of the Kingdom in the imperial court.

Xie Cang turned his head and said to the Split Mountain Army in front of him with a smile, "It is your honor to be able to receive such an evaluation from Mr. Su, and in addition to me in the future, protecting Mr. Su is also one of your important tasks." ”

"We will obey the orders of the Hou Ye!"

"Let's go!"

Xie Cang spoke, and the next moment, the soldiers of the Split Mountain Army got on their horses one after another, and then set up a formation, protecting the two of them in the middle, and a long group of men and horses walked on the official road.

Along the way, the Split Mountain Army did not hide its whereabouts, it was very generous, and even put out the military flag Split Mountain.

That kind of appearance is completely swaggering, and it is impossible to say that it does not cause movement.

This kind of momentum, basically passing through every county, will arouse the attention of various mountains, but the strange thing is that no matter how publicized the Split Mountain Army is, there is no one who finds fault on the way.

Su Qi'an glanced at the dense jungle around him, and there were obviously many pairs of eyes watching in the jungle.

Su Qi'an smiled, his eyes retracted, not paying too much attention.

Hidden in the back of the jungle, there is obviously a strong sense of fear.

The reputation of the Split Mountain Army, even if you haven't heard of it, you can see the army's flag, even if these bandits are losing their minds, they know that the group of troops below who take the official road are not something they can provoke.

Those who can have their own army banners will not exceed fifteen in Daliang, and these soldiers are the real elite of Daliang.

To rob them, it can only be said that their brains are in water, and these mountain bandits only hope that these disaster stars can leave quickly, and don't trouble them.

This kind of unintentional leakage of deterrence was deliberately done by Xie Cang, just to want to beat and knock well, these bandits in Chuandu County.

Let them be honest during this time, after all, this time to Ningzhou in the north, not to mention the long distance, it is likely to be prepared for a protracted war.

Before leaving, being able to do something for the people of Chuandu County was a part of Xie Cang's heart.

This shock lasted for three days, when they stepped out of the boundaries of Chuandu County.

Xie Cang and Su Qi'an stayed for a while, their eyes retracted, they looked at each other, and with a flick of the horsewhip, the Split Mountain Army was like a train, and they drove away.

The speed is completely different from the previous official road.

Leaving Chuandu County, along the official road in front of you, all the way to the north, regardless of the turn, just run wildly on horseback, at most three or four days, you can reach the border of Ningzhou.

The mighty army was drawn out like this, and along the way, only three post stations were stopped, and a short rest was given, during which even at night, the Split Mountain Army was on the way.

Although there is plenty of time, it is not a waste of time, if there is a war in Ningzhou, the sooner you arrive, you will know the progress of the war, and you will be able to make some plans early.

Such a long time of rushing is commonplace for the Split Mountain Army, but it is Su Qi'an, which makes Xie Cang a little sideways.

The three-day long distance, almost non-stop rushing, the word exhaustion was not seen from Su Qi'an's face at all.

It's not that Su Qi'an is talented, but this level of rapid marching, and Su Qi'an has experienced a lot in his previous life.

Su Qi'an's previous life was rich in entertainment activities, and it was almost common to participate in military training camps, and Su Qi'an was almost the top three in one of the long-distance rapid marches.

When I came to Daliang, although I couldn't compare with these soldiers, I could still keep up with them.

Xie Cang nodded at Su Qi'an, it was admiration, Su Qi'an didn't explain anything, he shook the reins a few times, and the military horse under him was a lot faster.

Under the rapid march of Su Qi'an, Xie Cang and others, it took only two days to reach the boundary of Ningzhou after a journey of more than 1,000 miles.

As soon as I stepped into Ningzhou, a sense of desolation came to my face.

There was only a bleak road ahead, some dead dead trees, a crooked scattered ground, a cold wind howling, and yellow sand blowing from time to time.

The yellow sand is all over the sky, and the indescribable loneliness is embarrassing.

This is Ningzhou, an important town in the north.

Two hundred years ago, the two states of Qingyou were lost, and these two natural defense lines, the nearby Ningzhou was basically open.

It became the object of perennial looting by the Darong cavalry, and in order to protect the local people, ten border towns and cities were built in Ningzhou.

And the purpose of Su Qi'an and Xie Cang's trip is to be known as a one-man and a military city!
