After a lot of hard fighting, Kukshu finally managed to break through the siege, and finally retreated to an occupied military city to rest.

Fan Wenzhong's army, which came up from the encirclement, did not continue the pursuit and stopped.

The 50,000 army of Kukeshu is the strongest elite of the Daei army in the south, and it can be called the elite of the elite.

If the strength was not strong, it would not be possible to fight with Fan Wenzhong's 100,000 border troops for so long and retreat calmly.

This 50,000-strong army, with the cooperation of all branches of the military, can be described as perfect, and if you want to eat it, you can't do it without the 200,000 border troops encircling it.

The encircled army quickly turned, and the front was Tong Zhan, who walked quickly towards the front, and in front of him, Fan Wenzhong and Xie Cang waited for a long time.

Tong Zhan knelt down on one knee and said, "Master Hou, your subordinates have fulfilled their mission and completed the task you assigned." ”

Xie Cang nodded, his eyes looking for something, "What about Mr. Su?" ”

"Back to the Hou Ye, Mr. Su is in the rear, and there is a team of guards to protect him."

During the conversation between the two, Su Qi'an was left by the dog and waited for a team of guards to come slowly.

Xie Cang stepped forward quickly, just wanted to give Su Qi'an a hug, and soon discovered that Su Qi'an's arm was injured.

"Mr. Su, are you injured? Tong Zhan, how did you protect Mr., this is what you said about fulfilling your mission? Xie Cang was taken aback, and his expression was a little displeased.

Su Qi'an shook his head and explained for Tong Zhan, "Harm, it's not to blame Tong Guard, on the battlefield, how can there be anyone who is not injured, I don't get in the way, I just underestimated the strength of the brute and accidentally got hurt." ”

Fan Wenzhong, who was beside him, looked at Su Qi'an carefully and sighed.

"This brute figure is a general under Cook Shu, Xiao Su, you can kill him, tsk, the old man was taken aback."

"In this battle, you have made a great contribution, the old man said that he will definitely be a marquis in order to ask for merit."

"Yes, sir, Fan Lao has already promised in front of the whole army, sir, most of you, the marquis, can't run, it seems that I will call Mr. Marquis Su in the future." Xie Cang chuckled beside him.

Su Qi'an was stunned, he didn't care much about the so-called marquisate title, and experienced this series of tragic battles deep behind enemy lines.

and the soldiers who died on the battlefield, Captain Xu, and the identity of the marquis, Su Qi'an did not attach so much importance to them.

He didn't dwell too much on this matter, and said, "There are a few things that have to trouble Fan Lao." ”

"As long as the old man can do it, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The first thing I want to do is to buy coffins for the soldiers who followed me on this expedition, even if I can't find the corpses, I have to erect a clothed grave, they are too bitter."

"The second thing, I hope that Fan Lao can accept the 30,000 women and children I brought this time, settle them well, give them a civilian status, and live well in Daliang."

Fan Wenzhong nodded, and said solemnly, "Don't worry, even if you don't say this, the old man will do it, these two things, the old man will definitely do it for you." ”

"That junior is here, thank you for them."

Su Qi'an's words moved the group of soldiers behind him and the women and children who followed.

The former is because Su Qi'an seemed to be so indifferent to the marquis's military exploits at this time, but it was them who were valued.

To be able to follow such a superior, even if it is dead, there is nothing to say.

The latter is that Su Qi'an really fulfilled his promise to them, as long as Su Qi'an is there for a day, he will shelter them for a day.

When have they seen such a considerate subordinate and caring general for civilians.

Not to mention them, even Fan Wenzhong also appreciates Su Qi'an's actions.

Sometimes, Fan Wenzhong sighed, like Su Qi'an, who is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and is dedicated to the people, is God merciful and deliberately lowers a talent.

After all, who would have thought that Su Qi'an would make a plan for Cook Shu at the crisis just now.

The 30,000 troops that Cook saw were nothing more than the movements of the 30,000 women and children who were rescued in front of him.

On the eve of the siege of the city, Su Qi'an gave the 30,000 women and children in the city a task.

Sew as many military flags as possible, collect long branches, and when he gives the order, 30,000 women and children will wave the military flags and sweep the branches in specific places.

The smoke rose from the sky, and with the momentum created by running back and forth, Cook Shu mistakenly thought that Su Qi'an still had 30,000 troops, and finally worried about the encirclement, so he withdrew his troops.

Su Qi'an said it very easily, but it made Fan Wenzhong and Xie Cang's scalps tingle when they heard it.

This plan, his risk is quite large, if he wants to implement it, he has to rely on Su Qi'an's 5,000 new troops in the early stage, whether they can withstand the pressure and defeat the 20,000 elites of the barbarian map.

If it fails, I am afraid that this ploy will be yellow on the spot.

But Su Qi'an was able to withstand the pressure in one brutal war after another, and finally successfully joined Fan Wenzhong's border army.

I'm afraid that Su Qi'an can do it, if any of them are replaced, they don't have Su Qi'an's courage.

Su Qi'an's battle, without exaggeration, is the key to turning the entire war in Ningzhou.

Cook's withdrawal this time is not a simple rest for a few days to make a comeback.

Su Qi'an's new army defeated his elite troops twice in a row, plus the ace army in his hand, and Fan Wenzhong's entanglement.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties this time, and they did not have a month to start the next large-scale battle.

And the position of Kukeshu's retreat this time is not to withdraw to the boundary of Qingzhou, but to occupy a military city.

Su Qi'an and other new troops, who joined Fan Wenzhong and Xie Cang, also had no intention of withdrawing to the military city.

Instead, he chose an acropolis near the border of Qingzhou to rest.

The armies of both sides are now in a stalemate, and the direction of this stalemate looks very strange.

Before the war began, the armies of Ku Keshu and Fan Wenzhong confronted each other in the north and south.

And this time, after a month of fighting, the confrontation between the two sides has become an east-west position.

Directly adjusted a ninety degrees.

Who let Su Qi'an occupy the city of Taning in Qingzhou, as well as the five surrounding acropolises.

And the army of Kukshu also occupies half of the ten military cities.

The two sides have fought many times, and the damage is huge, and they have no strength to fight again, so they can only wait for reinforcements to arrive, and such a strange confrontation has now formed.

Fortunately, the reinforcements on both sides did not delay for too long, and finally arrived three days after the end of the battle.

This time, the reinforcements from both sides were huge, with the Darong army increasing by 200,000 troops, and the Daliang side increasing its troops by 400,000.

Together with the remaining remnants of the troops at hand, about 800,000 troops, they confronted each other on the border.

The scale of this kind of war far exceeds the battle of one state, and with the escalation of the war conflict, it seems that it is almost to the situation of a war between the two countries.

For a while, the atmosphere on the border between the two sides became tense again.

The air is filled with a cold atmosphere.

There is a tendency to explode.

But the more this time, both sides actually maintained restraint.

If it is said that the outbreak of a state war will make the courts of both sides a little vigilant at most, but if it rises to a national war, then it has to make the high-level think deeply about whether this battle should be fought.

Don't look at Da Rong's invasion of Da Liang to the south every once in a while, but that is only harassment at most.

If there is a national war, the troops invested by both sides will be at least one million, and in a war of this scale, it will be necessary to bear the risk of destroying the country.

Da Liang seems to be weakened and somewhat declining, but it has not yet reached the level of allowing Da Rong to be wantonly bullied.

After all, in the face of the risk of annihilation, it is impossible for an incompetent emperor to watch and do nothing.

At least for now, it is still a little difficult for Da Rong to eat Da Liang in one go.

If it was really that easy, it would not be possible for the Cook Technique to start a war of just one state, through the way of slow entanglement, but an all-out war.

The risks are understood, but the atmosphere has reached this level, and if anyone takes the initiative to withdraw the troops, it is a sign of weakness, and there is a danger of being eaten by the other party at any time.

This confrontation did not last long, and soon, small-scale battles of a few thousand people, or at most, more than 10,000 people, broke out between the two sides.

The cities that broke out on both sides were limited to each other's vassal acropolis.

This kind of small-scale battle was fiercely fought, and there were more casualties than the big battles.

The frequency of battles is also getting higher and higher, and no one knows what the other side is planning.

Anyway, there is someone in the hand, and the other party wants to fight, so let's fight.

In this kind of high-frequency outbreak of small-scale battles, Zheng Liang, Su Qi'an, Xie Cang and other young generals participated in it to a greater or lesser extent.

This should also be Fan Wenzhong's deliberate action, in order to avoid Su Qi'an's limelight.

Su Qi'an's battles in Ningzhou can be said to be out of the limelight, these sons and buddies didn't say anything clearly, but they were afraid that they hated Su Qi'an to the bone.

In order to protect Su Qi'an, the veteran Fan Wenzhong sent young generals to fight in this rotational way.

The scale of this battle is small, it is difficult to expand and upgrade, and under the manipulation of Fan Wenzhong, the princes of Brother Gongzi can also play a normal level and earn a little military merit.

In this kind of small-scale battle, Su Qi'an did not have any conflict with the powerful Marquis, but had a big conflict with the prison army Wang Xian.

If it weren't for Fan Wenzhong's presence and Xie Cang's best to stop him, Wang Xian would have been shot by Su Qi'an on the spot.

can make Su Qi'an, who has always been calm, lose his temper, which is enough to see that this matter is big enough.

The cause of the incident is also very simple, Su Qi'an was sent to command the Acropolis where the conflict broke out.

Because of the urgency of the war, as a herald, the dog leftovers needed to go back and forth to transmit information between the two places, and after passing through the acropolis where Wang Xian was, because they ran into Wang Xian, they couldn't dodge, and the two crashed to the ground.

This can make Wang Xian angry to death, and he sent someone to take down the dog on the spot, although the dog is very strong, but he was outnumbered and was caught by Wang Xian's men.

Wang Xian was not polite, and hung the dog directly to beat it, and hung it in the city tower to expose it to the sun.

It has been three days since this matter reached Su Qi'an's ears.

Su Qi'an was furious on the spot and immediately led a convoy to return.

Without saying a word, he gave Wang Xian a few slaps and beat Wang Xian's subordinates violently.

By the time Fan Wenzhong and Xie Cang arrived, Su Qi'an's arrow had already hit Wang Xian's head.
