Thinking about it, such a big thing, even if some officials are given hundreds of guts, they don't dare to leak it to the bandits in advance.

Anyway, Su Qi'an is acting on the orders of the state pastor, if he doesn't want to find trouble for himself, he naturally won't do such a stupid thing.

Seeing Su Qi'an leave, the high priest's eyes flashed, and he asked, "This kid will bring a thousand men and horses?" Dare to suppress the bandits in the whole state? It's too arrogant."

"Say, will this kid cheat again?"

The high priest is now quite cautious about Su Qi'an, treating him as an evenly matched opponent, if he underestimates it, he will definitely capsize in the gutter.

Qingcheng County Shou's face was indifferent, and he even had a hint of a smile.

"It's impossible to cheat, Su Qi'an only brought a thousand people, and the four thousand troops in his city haven't made any moves until now."

The high priest was a little surprised, how did the Qingcheng county guard know this.

"Hehe, do you really think I don't have a spy in Tucheng County? Even though Su Qi'an is the lord of Tucheng, it is impossible to control all the people of Tucheng."

"As long as you are a human being, you have selfishness, there will always be some people who are greedy for profit, give enough benefits, and there will always be information that you should want to know."

The old scheming of the Qingcheng county guard impressed the high priest, and he asked again, "Since the spies have been arranged, why don't you take this opportunity to come directly to the inside and outside, and draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and when the backyard catches fire, this kid will probably be finished."

The high priest's proposal made the Qingcheng County Guard look at him like a fool, and pouted.

"Just because there are spies doesn't mean they can make any trouble in the city."

"These people are just a group of people who are rebelling for profit, just inquiring about the situation in the city, let him make trouble, and with their temperament, they have to report it backhand."

"High priest, this earthen city is not something that can be taken if you want when the little priest is in charge, and those four thousand people are not decorations."

The High Priest came back to his senses and nodded, he had thought a little too much about it, and said, "Then what do we do next?"

"Naturally, we are waiting for the news of Yangliu County, remember, our most important goal now is to get rid of Su Qi'an, as for Tucheng, that is a later story, don't reverse the priorities."

"Taught." The High Priest said.

At this time, Su Qi'an, who was carrying a thousand men and horses, headed towards Yangliu County.

Yangliu County is not far from Qingcheng County, only about forty or fifty miles, and at their speed, it won't take long to reach it.

All the way out of Qingcheng County, in front of you is a rare open land, surrounded by endless plains.

Compared with the surrounding mountains of Qingcheng County, this walk out not only broadens the sight, but also the mood is much better.

Yangliu County is a rare plain area in Jiaozhou, and it is also a large grain-producing county in Jiaozhou, and one-third of the grain in the state is basically from Yangliu County. Look at the book

In order to protect the grain in the county from being plundered, Yangliu County spent a lot of effort and spent ten years to build a high and thick city wall.

Along the way, everyone's eyes were attracted by a relatively large city at the end of the sight.

Although this city is not as good as the Sichuan capital county town in Xizhou, it can at least rank among the top five county towns in Xizhou.

It is a good county town, and it is already very good to be able to build a good quality high and thick city wall on the barren land of Jiaozhou.

It is said that this Yangliu county town, in Jiaozhou, is second only to the state city in terms of status.

Su Qi'an and the other troops had not yet entered, and at the city gate, a large number of figures could be seen waiting again.

Su Qi'an stepped forward, led by a middle-aged man in an official uniform, and behind him, there were many burly soldiers and guards.

At this time, it was none other than Yangliu County Shouhuo City.

Huo Cheng took a few steps forward, clenched his fists and said to Su Qi'an, "It seems that Your Excellency is Master Su."

Su Qi'an nodded.

"Hehe, Hou Ye Su really asked the lower officials to wait, we have received an order from Lord Zhou Mu, this time to suppress the bandits, we must actively and fully cooperate with Hou Ye."

"Please also ask Master Hou to enter the city quickly, this is not a place to talk."

Su Qi'an greeted, rode a horse, and entered the city with an army of thousands of people behind him.

The streets of the city are a little dilapidated, but they are much better than the other county towns.

At least the streets are paved with stone bricks, and there are fewer potholes, and the poor are poor, but they are relatively clean.

Su Qi'an, under the leadership of Huo Cheng, entered the city, and the two of them walked and chatted at the same time.

Through conversation, Su Qi'an knew that the bandits in Yangliu County were basically concentrated together, and few acted alone, basically forming a group.

With the terrain of Yangliu County, if the local bandits want to survive, they have to hold a group, and if they fight alone, they are likely to be wiped out by the soldiers of Yangliu County.

Before the high and thick city wall was completely built, Yangliu County had a miserable life.

These bandits can be said to come and go freely, and all kinds of interceptions and killings make the people of Yangliu County miserable.

Fortunately, with the completion of the construction of this tall and thick wall, the attack on Yangliu County descended at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Originally, there were 5,000 soldiers in Yangliu County, and with this high city wall, the bandits who were arrogant in the territory were basically deflated.

In addition, Huo Cheng asked all the people outside the city to move into the city, and there was no one outside the city except for the endless sight.

The bandits can't beat them, and now they don't even have the meat tickets they usually have to fight the autumn wind.

Soon, the four or five thousand bandits who were entrenched in the territory at the beginning were suddenly less than a thousand.

Basically, the bandits in Yangliu County are now the least serious, and Su Qi'an's first stop was in Yangliu County, because he valued his safety.

The work of suppressing bandits is a trickle of water, not a one-time solution, and the first easy and then the difficult is Su Qi'an's strategy for going out of the city this time.

Just give this group of recruits some opportunities to train.

The streets in the city are clean and clean, but as they go deeper, gradually, Su Qi'an finds that this is regarded as Yangliu County Town with better security.

There were a few cases of chaos, and in front of him, from time to time, some beggars and homeless people would cause some trouble in the city.

Although it was quickly taken down by the patrolling soldiers, it was quite frank to be able to stage this play in front of Su Qi'an so undisguisedly.

Wu Yong didn't know much about Huo Cheng, but he was sure that this person's mind should not be bad, if he really did a lot of evil, not to mention anything else, I am afraid that the people outside the city would have been left to fend for themselves.

It will not take great effort to move all the people outside the city into the city.

The people who can live outside the city are none other than those people, either poor or ruffians.

No matter how good the security in the city is, with the increase in population, some things cannot be controlled.

To this end, Huo Cheng implemented more stringent high-pressure management, such as the most common fights and stealing things, once discovered, the rod will be punished by a hundred.

A hundred canes are tortured, even if they are strong and strong, it is difficult to survive, and even if they survive, they will have to lie in bed for the rest of their lives if they don't die.

This kind of high-pressure management, to a certain extent, has reversed the law and order in the county town, but after a long time, the people's hearts are too depressed, and it is inevitable that bigger things will happen, and it is a method to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

With the contact with Huo Cheng, Su Qi'an gradually understood this person's management style, he was a strict official, but in some things, he overmanaged and felt like a cool official.

On the other hand, Su Qi'an did not say anything to stop it, nor did he open his mouth to persuade him, firstly, he was not familiar with Huo Cheng, and secondly, he was just passing by to suppress bandits.

If you really pretend to be a high-ranking marquis, and talk nonsense here, no one will like it.

Under the leadership of Huo Cheng, everyone walked through two streets and was just about to step into the county capital.

Suddenly, a figure swished out of the alley on one side.

It was going straight to Su Qi'an, and this scene made Huo Cheng startled.

shouted, "Someone, take it down for this official."

Huo Cheng's heart was very unhappy, the few riots that occurred before were not intentional by Huo Cheng.

But he can be so open-minded, because he has absolute confidence in the control of law and order in the city.

Therefore, the riot that occurred in front of Su Qi'an just now was expected to be taken down quickly.

But he didn't expect that he was about to enter the county capital, and this suddenness, his soldiers didn't even see it.

This is really too embarrassing for him, although Huo Cheng didn't say anything, but he had already thought about it in his heart, and when this matter was over, he would have to punish this group of soldiers who were incompetent.

The soldiers under his command rushed out as fast as they could, and just as they were about to take down this person, the next moment, they were stopped by Su Qi'an.

Because this person was not trying to hurt Su Qi'an, but in front of Su Qi'an, this scene made everyone scratch their heads.

The man was ragged, dirty, with loose hair and a thin body, with a faint stench that made it impossible to distinguish between man and woman.

This person was waving at Su Qi'an, shouting something, but he couldn't speak, obviously a dumb person.

He couldn't understand Huo Cheng in this scene, but Su Qi'an quickly understood it and gestured to Chen Zhi behind him.

Chen Zhi stepped forward, he was holding a few steamed buns in his hand, and as soon as he gave them out, this person snatched them and ate them in a big gulp, looking like he had been hungry for several days.

"Give it a bag of water, and give him a few taels of silver, Huo Junshou will trouble you to settle down."

"That's natural, the lower officials must do what Marquis Su instructs."

Huo Cheng nodded and waved his hand, and his soldiers stepped forward and quickly took the beggar away.

After this little episode, under the leadership of Huo Cheng, everyone finally stepped into the county capital.

After a brief greeting, Su Qi'an and Huo Cheng quickly reached a consensus and immediately went out of the city to suppress the bandits.

In this operation, in addition to Su Qi'an's 1,000 people, the 3,000 soldiers who stayed in the county town were drawn out of 2,000 and set off together.

Su Qi'an served as the commander-in-chief this time, as for Huo Cheng, because he was the county guard, it was best to stay in the city to ensure his safety.

Su Qi'an stayed in Yangliu County City for less than half an hour when the city gate opened.

The army of 3,000 set off and went straight to the lair of the remnants of the bandits, this time with a few old guides with them, and even a topographical map of the area around the lair of the bandits.

Coupled with the absolute strength of troops, this battle is basically nine out of ten.
