On the other hand, on the side of the Qingcheng County Guard and the High Priest, they didn't stop until they really left the boundary of Qi'an City.

At this time, the two looked at each other, and they could see each other's heart palpitations.

The high priest said, "Is this surnamed Su really so powerful? Aware that we have ambushes? You're not cheating us."

The county guard's eyes flashed, he looked into the distance, shook his head and said, "No, with the five thousand men and horses in his hands, and the popularity of the people of Tucheng, he is far from being the same as when he first came to Tucheng and needs to be cautious."

"I'll just say it, this person can't stay, it's only been a long time, he has only been in Jiaozhou for about half a year, and it has developed so rapidly, if you don't get rid of him this time, you will want to move him later, the difficulty can be imagined."

The high priest said in a deep voice, with a deep regret in his voice, if he had known that this kind of character would come on their territory, it is estimated that when the little priest sent troops, he would have taken advantage of that opportunity to eradicate him.

The high priest pressed the regret in his heart, and as if he thought of something, he asked again.

"Since this kid can guess that we have ambush soldiers, you said that this time the bandits, our purpose, will he guess it?"

The high priest's worries are not unreasonable, this time, fortunately, the Qingcheng county guard was more cautious and chose a compromise plan.

Even if they were discovered, the purpose of their coming was just to find out the cause and effect, and they didn't do it, even if Su Qi'an wanted to do it, he had to have a reason.

Therefore, if we understand the matter clearly this time, we will naturally resolve the crisis smoothly.

But later Su Qi'an suppressed the bandits, it was different.

In this operation, Su Qi'an nominally controlled the people of various counties and cooperated with him to suppress bandits in the whole state.

But in fact, it is not an easy task to mobilize Su Qi'an and suppress bandits in the whole state.

In this operation, they not only informed the bandits in their control, but even the governor gave an order.

Let the bandits in the whole state obey the arrangements of the Qingcheng County Guard and the High Priest.

Jiaozhou bandits are so serious, and the manipulator behind this scene is Jiaozhou Mu.

Not to mention the bandits in the whole state, they all obey the orders of the state pastor, but at least ninety percent of the bandits are acting on Li Kang's orders.

They are a knife in Li Kang's hand, as the pastor of Jiaozhou, how to say that they represent the Daliang official, and some shady things have to be handed over to shady people to do.

It is in this way that these Jiaozhou bandits will survive in Jiaozhou.

Not only the Jiaozhou bandits, but even the priest alliance were all controlled by Li Kang.

This is why the high priest, who is obviously not a Daliang official, is afraid of this Jiaozhou pastor.

To put it bluntly, Li Kang is the real boss in Jiaozhou, and he is a typical black and white all-in-one.

It's just a general thing, he doesn't need to come forward at all, he is always giving opinions behind the scenes and letting his subordinates do things.

Just like last time, Li Kang obviously guessed Su Qi'an's identity, but he didn't tell the two of them the specific news.

almost made the two of them fall into a big position, this is Li Kang's style of acting.

If they tell them everything, then why are they left? Anyone can be the county warden and high priest.

Li Kang's subordinates, in addition to being loyal and obedient, more importantly, have their own ideas.

If they are unfortunate enough to hang up, it can only mean that their lives are not good, and they are looking for someone to replace them.

Anyway, where they are, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring.

If you want to have a foothold in Jiaozhou, you have to do a good job of what Li Kang explained.

Qingcheng County Shou pondered for a while and said, "Probably not, even if he Su Qi'an is a god, he will never be able to guess how and where we will start, and this operation did not use our people."

"Even if this fails, he wants to settle the score, and there is no evidence to throw the blame on us."

"In this operation, I have already greeted several nearby county guards, and Su Qi'an must be in danger."

Listening to the explanation of the Qingcheng County Guard, the high priest's heart was slightly relieved.

At this moment, a subordinate behind him reported, "Two adults, two priests

He Juncheng was beaten and fainted."

Originally, the anger in the hearts of the two was almost gone, but the words of the subordinates once again ignited the anger in the hearts of the two.

The high priest said coldly, "Tie them to the back of the horses with ropes, drag me back to the county, and if you are lucky, continue to beat me, and if you die, throw them directly on the outskirts of the city to feed the dogs."

After saying that, the two tightened their horse's ropes and walked away.

The subordinates who stayed in place showed a look of pity, and it seemed that these two messengers would not survive to return to the county seat.

After seeing off the Qingcheng county guard and the high priest, Su Qi'an did not leave in a hurry, and waited in Qi'an City for three days.

The Qingcheng County Guard did not lose his trust this time, and as soon as the three days came, he directly sent 5,000 homeless people and prisoners over.

These people are not as good as even the most inferior civilians, and they are exiled to Jiaozhou, and they seem to have saved a life, but in fact they are about the same as the lives of animals, and whether they can live or not depends on luck.

Not to mention sending 5,000 people, even if they are sending 5,000 people, the Qingcheng County Guard will not blink.

These homeless prisoners, some men and women, some old and some weak, even if they are not sent to Su Qi'an, they will not live long just to serve as a conscript.

The county guard of Qingcheng was not worried at all, Su Qi'an would organize this group of people, as long as it was not for five thousand elite natives, these thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled.

The pure waste of rations was sent to Su Qi'an, and it also saved some trouble for the Qingcheng County Guard.

The arrival of 5,000 people, as before, was divided into five major regions according to age and gender, and the heads of thousands of households and households in Qi'an City, under the leadership of Wu Yong and Song Biao, had already begun to review them one by one, and the examination passed the registration and making a register.

Among these 5,000 people, there is naturally no shortage of Chen Zhi's clansmen, who met Chen Zhi again, hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Su Qi'an didn't bother them, stepped aside, and vented his emotions for Chen Zhi and his clansmen to get together.

These five thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people can't make much effort for Su Qi'an.

But their value is not to form an army, but to form a new village alone.

Among these people, they may not be good at fighting, but there are many skilled craftsmen and knowledgeable people.

Among them, the vast majority of the prisoners who could become exiled were from the powerful.

The minimum knowledge and literacy and hyphenation are the most basic operations, as long as they are cultivated well, these people can become the chief of the Tucheng, the head of the household, and the head of a thousand households.

What Su Qi'an lacks now is not soldiers, but grassroots personnel who manage tens of thousands of people.

If it can be managed well, it will be able to continuously provide Su Qi'an with stable logistics.

If you want to develop, in addition to having soldiers in hand, logistics is very important.

As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first, and Su Qi'an is far more long-term than Wu Yong and Huang Wenyan.

The two of them may just be thinking about how to govern the earth city under their feet, and Su Qi'an's mind has long extended to a county or even a state.

He had a hunch that when he set foot in Jiaozhou, he would have a battle with Li Kang sooner or later, just like Tang Feng back then.

If you want to make a comeback and fight back to Xizhou, you have to have your own territory, and what Su Qi'an wants is the entire Jiaozhou.

It can be said that Su Qi'an's heart has become wild, and after experiencing the Xizhou Incident, Su Qi'an does not want to see the second Xizhou Incident.

is still the same sentence, if you want to gain a foothold and protect yourself, you have to have your own territorial power, this Jiaozhou, you have to take it even if you say anything.

The screening of 5,000 people took two days, and after arranging Chen Zhi's people, Su Qi'an, Wu Yong, and Chen Zhi returned to Tucheng County under the escort of the guard company and the special operations company.

This time in Tucheng County, Su Qi'an did not stay for a long time, stayed for three days, and then set off with about a regiment of troops.

It's just that the regiment brought this time is neither the first, second, or third regiments.

It was a temporary combination of regiments, with the first battalion of the second regiment and the second and third battalions of the third regiment removed.

Su Qi'an's decision, Song Biao couldn't understand it very well, after all, the combat power of the temporary regiment was definitely not as strong as the combat power of a complete regiment.

And, most critically, three regiments

The second and third battalions were basically mostly recruits, and the first battalion of the second regiment had rich combat experience.

According to Su Qi'an's division of the regiment, the first battalion of each regiment is often the strongest in combat power, and the weapons and equipment are also the best.

The second battalion is based on the backbone of veterans, and the third battalion is basically mostly new soldiers.

Under normal circumstances, the dispatch of three battalions must also be the dispatch of the entire regiment, which can give the recruits effective combat experience, and second, even if they are attacked, or defeated.

As the first battalion of sharp knives, it will immediately support the defense, and the second battalion is responsible for defending against the enemy, and with the cooperation of the three battalions, it will basically not suffer.

But this time it is a drain, and between the three battalions, the second and third battalions of the third regiment will be more familiar, and as for the second regiment and one battalion, there is still room for contact.

Of course, thanks to this dispatch, Song Biao also came, if it was just a simple battalion, Song Biao was afraid that he was extremely worried about Su Qi'an's safety.

Even if there is Song Biao, but this operation, Song Biao still has a lot of pressure.

Because it is the whole state of bandits, this is not like the last time when more than 2,000 people were dealt with, and each of them made efforts in advance, and it was naturally easy to deal with.

Su Qi'an has already given Song Biao a preventive shot, suppressing bandits all over the state, and he has to guard against the other five county guards, if he stabs them in the back, it will be troublesome.

Song Biao is more worried now that he is afraid that the bandits in the whole state will all gather, if it is tens of thousands of people, just relying on their more than 1,000 people, even if they gnaw down, I am afraid that there will not be many people left.

On this expedition, Su Qi'an brought one of them with him, plus Chen Dao, and the guard company responsible for protecting his safety, as for Tong Zhan and Su Yong, he didn't bring any of them.

If you want to say rest assured, that's hell.

But since Su Qi'an has decided so, he naturally has his reasons, and Song Biao will not refute it, just implement it.

Leaving Tucheng County, they went directly north, came to the county seat, and had a polite conversation with the Qingcheng County Guard.

Immediately, the mighty army of 1,000 people was launched, and the first county they were going to was Yangliu County.

The terrain is flat, and it is a rare plain area in Jiaozhou, because there are many plains, and the bandits here are not too serious.

Let's take the bandits of this county to practice first, and I'm watching the reaction of the bandits in the other four counties.

When they set off, the Qingcheng County Guard introduced a situation, Su Qi'an's actions, and the Jiaozhou bandits were not clear.

So this gave Su Qi'an a chance to make a surprise attack.
