The Dongshan Army led by Su Qi'an made a lot of trouble in Xizhou City, although the people of the whole state did not know what was going on.

But with the decentralization of the state pastoral order, everyone understands the determination of the state pastor to encircle and suppress Su Qi'an.

For a time, all counties and counties in the state were under martial law, and the soldiers of each county were mobilized one after another to cooperate with the 5,000 troops sent from Xizhou City at any time.

The 5,000 soldiers of Xizhou City, according to the pre-plan, began to move around one county after another.

Although it seems to be a little clumsy, it is very effective against Su Qi'an's Dongshan Army.

Tang Feng is worthy of being a person in the court, and he basically figured out the strength of the Dongshan Army.

An army that is good at mobile warfare, if it follows his trail to encircle and suppress, it will only make itself tired and suffer a lot.

Therefore, at the beginning, Tang Feng did not think of letting his soldiers quickly encircle and suppress, but first let it go, and immediately ordered martial law in the whole state.

With the cooperation of various counties and counties, they are dispatching pursuers to search one city after another along Xizhou.

It can be said that at this time, in the territory of Xizhou, each county is like a nail nailed down, responsible for their respective jurisdictions.

Keeping in touch with each other is like forming an invisible net, and in the net, the five thousand soldiers dispatched, like hunters, shrink their positions little by little.

In this kind of search, Su Qi'an's traces will always be found, and then the soldiers of the nearby counties will be summoned and directly surrounded by a large surrounder.

Even if Su Qi'an's army can hide again, it will always show its feet.

This search, which lasted for about ten days, detected the movements of the Dongshan Army in the vicinity of Hanzhong County.

Hanzhong County is not far from Xizhou City, and to the north of it, it is the north gate of Xizhou, and to enter Xizhou from the north, Hanzhong County is the only way to pass.

Unexpectedly, this Su Qi'an was so bold that he dared to touch Hanzhong County in the north.

You must know that Hanzhong County is flat, surrounded by mountains, and the land is fertile, and it is basically prosperous in places like Daliang, which take agriculture as its economic source.

Hanzhong County is the second most prosperous county in Xizhou after the state capital, and the tax revenue contributed to Xizhou every year accounts for about 30%, which is a veritable large household.

It is Tang Feng's ability to control the capital of Xizhou, Tang Feng has been in Xizhou for so many years, and what he values most is not the state city, but this Hanzhong County.

It is no exaggeration to say that Hanzhong County is Tang Feng's base camp, and if something goes wrong in Hanzhong County, it will definitely hurt Tang Feng's vitality.

This Su Qi'an really didn't take the usual path, and hid it in his base camp, as the saying goes, the more dangerous the place, the safer.

Although Tang Feng was nervous, he was not carried away by emotions.

Forcibly calm down, and start to dispatch troops and generals as soon as possible, and send troops to Hanzhong, and at the same time, there will be more sentry posts along the way. Look at the book

Saying anything about annihilating Su Qi'an in Hanzhong County, this is not Tang Feng bragging, but he has his confidence.

Hanzhong County has been run by him for so many years, not to mention the iron wall, but it is absolutely impossible to be attacked by Su Qi'an so easily.

As long as Hanzhong County can hold Su Qi'an, the rest, when his army arrives, Su Qi'an will definitely be unable to escape.

The county guard of Hanzhong is Tang Feng's henchman, he is not worried about his disadvantage, and now he is following the army and quickly approaching Hanzhong County.

Tang Feng was very fast, and on the second day he arrived in Hanzhong County, and a battle broke out between the two sides.

I thought it was a fierce battle, but who would have thought that it would be a defensive battle.

Su Qi'an's Dongshan Army did touch Hanzhong County, but the news was a little lagging behind, and it was sent two days ago.

Tang Feng did underestimate the mobility of the Dongshan Army, which should be said to be outrageous.

Hanzhong County, not to mention the Dongshan Army that dragged Su Qi'an, can be said to be led by the nose.

Every time you attack, you run away after fighting, and you don't stop at all, and if you don't care, it will immediately evolve into a large-scale siege.

If it is entangled, it will be divided and evacuated immediately, and if it goes out of the city to pursue, it will definitely suffer a big loss and ambush.

Hanzhong

The county guard can be regarded as having seen the Daliang mobile army, but it has never been as outrageous as the Dongshan army.

They are like iron men, they are not afraid of being tired at all, and the harassment of the day will not stop at all, which makes Hanzhong County complain.

Helplessly, Hanzhong County guarded, so he sent a message to ask for support, and waited until Tang Feng's reinforcements arrived.

Where is there still the shadow of the Dongshan Army, everyone has run away, if it is said that it is evacuated, Tang Feng's face may not be blue.

However, these two thousand Dongshan troops unconsciously touched their rear, taking advantage of the terrain, but they made a hole, and they didn't notice anything, so they got in.

Su Qi'an immediately ordered to immediately launch an attack on Tang Feng's rearguard troops.

In just half an hour, Tang Feng's casualties approached 1,000 at once.

Tang Feng's nose was crooked at that time, and he immediately ordered a full-scale counterattack.

No matter what the price is, whatever you say, you will bite this Dongshan army to death.

The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, after all kinds of surprise attacks and harassment.

On Tang Feng's side, he lost more than 100 people, allowing the Dongshan army to escape.

Tang Feng's face was pale, and he trembled with anger, and now he understood why Su Qi'an was able to make a splash in the defense of Kyoto, and Zheng Guogong specially instructed him to be cautious.

This battle made him feel a headache, Su Qi'an was able to win, it was really not by luck, but by real strategy.

How old is this Su Qi'an, but he is in his twenties, and he has experienced a few battles, so he can fight.

If you give time to continue to grow, the consequences will be unimaginable, no matter what, this person will say anything to get rid of.

At this time, Tang Xiao, who came with Tang Feng, spoke, "Father, if we continue to fight like this, we will definitely be played to death by Su Qi'an, otherwise, we will put all our troops in Lingbei County."

"As far as I know, there are still some people in Lingbei County who are familiar with Su Qi'an, and the child doesn't believe it, so persecution can't force him to show up, and when the time comes, we will fight him head-on, and we will definitely be able to exterminate him."

Tang Xiao's proposal, Tang Feng surprisingly refused.

He shook his head and said, "Xiao'er, leading troops to fight is not like this, it's not as simple as you think."

"On the battlefield, unless it is absolutely necessary, there is no absolute victory and annihilation, don't threaten hostages, this is a helpless next resort."

"After all, once you are hostage, you will not die, if Su Qi'an is a foreign enemy, it is okay to say it, and if you are hostage, it will be okay, but no matter what he says, he is a cool person."

"My father can almost cover the sky with one hand in Xizhou, but he can't use the people of a county as hostages to force Su Qi'an to make a move, my father is not worried about whether Su Qi'an will make a move, what you have to consider is whether it will provoke a civil uprising."

"The people are together, even for the father is a headache, after all, above Xizhou, there is also the imperial court, so, Xiao'er, do you understand?"

Tang Xiao nodded again and again, and hurriedly said, "It's the child who is reckless, thank you father for mentioning it."

Tang Feng's words do have his truth, he and Su Qi'an have fought until now, to put it bluntly, it has not reached the point of completely tearing his face and not dying.

If it really came to that point, he didn't need to make up charges against Su Qi'an, but directly encircled and suppressed it with all his might.

He has this ability, but he can't do it, there is still the court above him, and Da Liang has not collapsed.

If he really wants to do this, whether Su Qi'an has been exterminated or not, he doesn't know, what he can know is that the imperial court will gather troops as soon as possible.

The troops were sent to Xizhou, and they encircled and suppressed him with all their might, and several princes who were friends with him in Kyoto would 100% break off their friendship with him, and even personally lead the troops to encircle and suppress him.

You do this, to put it bluntly, it is no different from a rebellion, just a pretense, in exchange for all dynasties, even at the end of the dynasty, it will never be tolerated, and the rebellion of local forces is the bottom line.

Tang Feng's ability to compile charges and mobilize soldiers from various counties and counties to cooperate is already the limit.

If he gave an order, and the soldiers of the whole state directly participated in the encirclement and suppression, then he would not be far from death.

And Su Qi'an did not kill in the face of his encirclement and suppression, most of the real deaths were his henchmen, and they were encircled

The soldiers were basically wounded.

Su Qi'an also understands that if he makes a dead hand, it is no different from being a bad guy, which can give Tang Feng a fair and honest reason to exterminate.

But neither side is stupid, and neither side has taken the initiative to take a step and be this bad guy.

Therefore, this kind of encirclement and suppression by the two sides has become a bit of a petty fight.

Tang Feng's eyes flashed, thinking about how to add a fire to this encirclement and suppression.

Tang Xiao, who was clicked, seemed to think of something, and said, "Father, if you can't coerce the hostages to force Su Qi'an to comply, then you can report to the imperial court."

"Take this opportunity to transfer back the tens of thousands of Xizhou soldiers who stayed in Kyoto to change defenses."

"Anyway, the purpose of the transfer of troops is only to besiege Su Qi'an, as long as there are enough soldiers, Su Qi'an has to show up, and even if Su Qi'an escapes in the end, our soldiers are back."

"In every way, we're not at a loss."

Hearing Tang Xiao say this, Tang Feng's eyes lit up, it was really such a reason, he forgot the top priority, that is, the tens of thousands of Xizhou soldiers outside.

Anyway, the encirclement and suppression between him and Su Qi'an was just a petty fight, and he, as the governor of a state, made up the charges of encircling Su Qi'an, and he didn't believe it.

In his capacity as a state pastor, as long as he reports to the top and asks for reinforcements, plus the help of several princes in the imperial court, this matter is not a certainty.

Tang Feng nodded, looked at Tang Xiao approvingly, and chuckled, "Well, it's worthy of my son, and my son can be taught."

"That's it, but remember one thing, this matter must be done in secret, don't leak the news, and speed up the pursuit of Su Qi'an, give up the previous step-by-step camp, Su Qi'an's Dongshan Army will chase wherever it goes."

"In this way, we have a two-pronged approach, Su Qi'an can only command the Dongshan Army to be exhausted, and he doesn't know that we have asked the imperial court for help, and even if we react at that time, tens of thousands of reinforcements have arrived."

"Even if Su Qi'an has the ability to reach the sky, under the siege of layers of armies, he has nowhere to hide, and his father's trick is high."

Tang Feng smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, do it quickly."

"The child obeys!"
