Through Tang Xiao, Su Qi'an knew that the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized in Tang Feng's hands reached 10,000 people.

In the entire Xizhou, he can mobilize more, at least 50,000 people, but the remaining tens of thousands of people have already gone to support in the defense of Kyoto.

was left behind by His Majesty and has not returned yet, which can be regarded as invisibly relieving Su Qi'an's pressure.

If Xizhou Mu mobilizes 50,000 people, with 2,000 Dongshan troops in Su Qi'an's hands, it is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car.

But these more than 10,000 people should not be underestimated, and more than half of them are Tang Feng's henchmen.

In particular, the Heilu army of more than 1,000 people is the real elite of Tang Feng.

In terms of combat power, it is not much weaker than the Dongshan Army, this is just Tang Feng's mobilized men.

What made Su Qi'an most jealous was that Tang Fengneng ordered all the counties and counties under Xizhou to cooperate with him.

Tang Feng's control over Xizhou is very strong, which is why he has been able to serve as a state pastor and compete with the local family for many years.

Moreover, in Kyoto, he and Zheng Guogong have been in contact for a long time, and the reason why he launched an operation against Su Qi'an this time was also at the request of Zheng Guogong.

Because there are people in the court, Tang Feng can grasp Su Qi'an's movements at any time.

With the response of the traitor Shui Sheng, it was almost easy to destroy Su Qi'an's subordinate forces in Xizhou.

The only thing that was missed was that Su Qi'an not only returned unscathed, but also took them by surprise with two thousand Dongshan troops, which made Tang Xiao careless and become a prisoner.

Escorting Tang Xiao down, Su Qi'an sat in the side hall, thinking quietly.

He was waiting for news, waiting for the invitation from the Xizhou pastor.

This kind of waiting did not last long, and about a day later, the news from Xizhou Mu was sent to Lingbei County.

The letter was very simple, first complimented Su Qi'an for not dying in the catastrophe and returned to Lingbei County.

Then he went straight to the point, hoping that Su Qi'an could come to Xizhou City, meet with him, have a good exchange, and start a dialogue on the hostages obtained by the two sides by the way.

This letter, in the eyes of Su Yong, Song Biao, and Er Meng, knew at a glance that it was a Hongmen banquet.

But they didn't stop it, because it was very clear in the letter that if Su Qi'an played tricks and didn't come, then Tang Feng would unceremoniously execute Qin Huai and the others.

Tang Xiao became a hostage in the hands of Su Qi'an, but it doesn't mean that Tang Feng is at Su Qi'an's disposal.

If Su Qi'an refuses, he will unceremoniously tear up the ticket directly.

The purpose of this is to force Su Qi'an to go to Xizhou City.

With their understanding of Su Qi'an, this trip to Xizhou City must be a must.

Su Qi'an withdrew his gaze from the letter, glanced at everyone, and then said, "Pass my order, immediately gather the Dongshan army under you, and set off for Xizhou City tomorrow morning."

Su Qi'an's order, the three of them would not refuse, nodded, turned around and mobilized their subordinates.

Huang Wenyan, who was standing behind Su Qi'an, opened his mouth, "Xizhou Mu is doing this, afraid that you will escape and provoke you out, so that he can fight with you in Xizhou City."

"It is estimated that Xizhou City at this time is afraid that the world is in the net."

Su Qi'an nodded, but added, "That's right, this is Tang Feng's plan, it can be regarded as a kind of yang conspiracy, forcing him to show up and fight with him."

"But it's not all bad, if we all leave Lingbei County, the soldiers stationed in the surrounding counties will definitely be mobilized with our movements."

"In this way, at least the pressure on Lingbei County has been relieved, if we stay for a long time, the people of Lingbei County will always be very tight."

Huang Wenyan said, "There is some truth in this, but will this Xizhou pastor, because of your departure, take the risk of directly attacking Lingbei County? After all, the mass foundation in Lingbei County is very solid, and it is somewhat threatening to the rule of Xizhou Mu."

Huang Wenyan's worries were not unreasonable, but they were quickly rejected by Su Qi'an.

"From beginning to end, Tang Feng's purpose is only me, if he really dares to risk the world's condemnation to deal with the unarmed people of Lingbei County, I think he is afraid of this state pastor

It's done."

"After all, he is still the governor of a state under the great coolness, not a warlord, if he dares to do this, the local will definitely provoke a civil uprising, and he will be the one who will not end up at that time."

"He won't do this kind of stupid thing of lifting stones and shooting himself in the foot, and Lingbei County still has this He County Commander, no matter how you say it, he is a local official canonized by the imperial court."

"If something happens to him, the imperial court will definitely send someone down to investigate, this is a trouble for Tang Feng, this He County Commander doesn't seem to have any ambitions, but he still treats the people of Lingbei County with some care."

"On the contrary, our departure will make it a lot easier for him, even more so for Tang Feng."

"I see, it's still Mr. who sees far, and it's Wen Yan's negligence."

Su Qi'an waved his hand and communicated with Huang Wenyan in the side hall.

Time passed quickly, and it was the second day in a flash, and the news that Su Qi'an and the others were going to leave couldn't be concealed at all.

Early in the morning, at the gate of Lingbei, countless people were surrounded, and they stopped Su Qi'an's Dongshan army, and their hearts were full of reluctance.

Looking at this scene, Su Qi'an stepped forward and said, "People, folks, Su's departure is for your better development, don't be sad, Su promises that one day, Su will come back."

"Mr. Su, are you telling the truth?" Someone hurriedly asked.

Su Qi'an nodded and said in a solemn tone, "Lingbei County is Su's home and Su's roots, and my departure now is for a better reunion in the future, and I will definitely come back."

Su Qi'an's words brought tears to the eyes of hundreds of people.

Through these few days of getting along, let them see an army that they have never seen before.

This Dongshan army seems to be fierce and vicious, but it is very enthusiastic about the villagers and the people.

Basically, if there is any help, they will see it, they will go to help, and they will not eat and drink, they will pay.

Such an army, they have never seen it, in the words of Su Qi'an, what kind of military and civilian family.

Thinking about the other soldiers stationed in Lingbei County before, that guy was like an uncle, eating for nothing was commonplace, and even beat people.

But Su Qi'an's Dongshan army only gave them a deep sense of security.

All of this is due to Su Qi'an and Huang Wenyan, who have discussed the three disciplines designated in the past few days.

First, without the consent of the people, it is forbidden to enter the people's homes, let alone take the belongings of the people's homes without permission, and those who violate the order can be beheaded up to the most serious circumstances.

Second, when you go out to eat, drink, and entertain, you must give money once you consume, and those who violate the order will have fifty military sticks.

3. Obey the command in all actions, and it is forbidden to leave the post without permission, and if the order is violated, it will be beheaded.

Since the announcement of these three disciplines, it has indeed been dissatisfied with a small number of people in the Dongshan Army, after all, some of them are veterans, and they have developed a vicious attitude in their early years, and it is difficult to change them for a while.

Therefore, he will make some complaints, and in response to these complaints, Huang Wenyan will first go to talk to his heart, and after talking, he will give two choices, do not accept it, leave all the weapons and equipment on his body, give him travel expenses, and let him go home.

If you accept it, you will talk about it again, and if you commit it, you will go directly to military discipline.

The military discipline announced by Su Qi'an did not have a hippie smile with the two thousand Dongshan Army, and everyone understood that Su Qi'an came to be true.

And the three commanders who led them, Su Yong, Song Biao, and Er Meng, expressed their support.

With the leadership of the commander, what else can they say as subordinates.

Moreover, when they joined the Dongshan Army, they themselves came for Su Qi'an, no matter what military discipline and military regulations Su Qi'an made, they would accept it.

After the implementation of the three major military disciplines, in Lingbei County, they clearly felt the enthusiasm of the local people for them.

It's not pretending, but from the bottom of my heart, most of them have been soldiers for many years.

To put it mildly, when I went to other places before, I was not treated well by the local people at all, and most of them were afraid of them.

But after Su Qi'an implemented the three major military disciplines, they felt the truth

enthusiasm.

Although he is a veteran oilman, who wants to be looked down upon and blamed by others.

Gradually, they understood Su Qi'an's original intention of appointing military discipline, and those complaints quickly disappeared, and some only admired Su Qi'an.

The three major military disciplines are only the first step designated by Su Qi'an, as a modern youth, Su Qi'an understands very well that if you want to have an invincible army, military discipline is a must.

Because of the lack of time, he was unable to comprehensively designate modern military discipline one by one.

And if you really want to copy it, it may cause unadaptability, after all, the social nature of Daliang and modern society are two different things.

It is not difficult to designate the system, but it is rare to change the thinking of the people of Daliang, so many things must be done slowly, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time.

Therefore, Su Qi'an picked out the most important ones, designated them first, and then said, as for the later ones, they will wait until they settle down and slowly add them.

The emergence of the three major military disciplines has worked wonderfully well in Lingbei County, and these people who will not let them go are the best proof of this.

Even He County, who has been an official for many years, has never seen this scene, when the relationship between soldiers and the people is so good, this is really hard to see.

Under Su Qi'an's persuasion, many people who were blocking and not letting them leave also let go.

They understood that Su Qi'an did this for the sake of everyone's lives, after all, there were a large number of troops stationed in the surrounding counties.

Su Qi'an's Dongshan Army was protective of them, but it also put pressure on the local area.

With the departure of the Dongshan Army at this time, this pressure will definitely be solved.

When have they ever seen such an army dedicated to the people, such a marquis.

If it weren't for dragging their families and mouths, many of them would swear to follow Su Qi'an to the death.

Seeing the Dongshan army leaving, these people knelt down and said loudly.

"We are waiting to send Dongshan Hou, I look forward to seeing you as soon as possible, and go all the way!"

The Dongshan soldiers who left in front, these rough-looking big men, also had red eyes at this time.

Since following Mr. Su and fighting all the way, here, they have gained long-lost respect.

That can't be said in words, if they can, they are willing to fight to the death for the people of Lingbei County.

He Xianling, who was standing in the back, was also very moved when he looked at this scene, and he whispered.

"This may be the one who has won the hearts of the people, a real two-way understanding, Dongshan Hou, you are really a great big man, and the lower officials are also looking forward to it, I can see you again, take care all the way."
