Chapter 347: Mediation
The mighty crowd of men and horses swarmed into the square square, and at this time, the battle outside the square or on the city wall was basically over.
Everyone's eyes were staring at the so-called state envoy, Su Qi'an really didn't know about this inexplicable state envoy, but he had locally recruited personnel under him.
Naturally, it was very clear, and when the state army came to the square square, it was clear.
The state envoy is in Daliang, and he really does not have this official position, and this official position comes from the previous dynasty.
As the name suggests, it is an ordinary statewide patrol for a governor.
In the era of the previous dynasties, it was basically a warlord scuffle, and each state occupied the territory, that is, it proclaimed itself the king, and in order to dominate its own territory, all kinds of strange official names came into being, including the state envoy.
It's just that with the beginning of the Great Liang and the division of the world into twelve states, the so-called state envoys, I'm afraid that only Jiaozhou is still retained.
There is no other reason, Jiaozhou's special geographical location and complex and long-term historical problems, forming a high degree of autonomy, so we can only see some differences from other states in Jiaozhou.
This state envoy is the same as the priest alliance, the big and small priests are the same, according to the official position of Da Liang, there is no such thing, but it does not prevent them from having real power in their hands.
The state envoy of this state is to act as the state pastor Li Kang to inspect all kinds of injustices in the state.
has no grade, but he can't stand the power in his hands, big enough to be able to supervise the state and state lieutenants, the second and third in command,
The unqualified state envoy can supervise the local officials canonized by the Daliang Imperial Court, which is strange enough.
Jiaozhou has developed to this point, and from a certain aspect, it is enough to see that the control of the Daliang royal family over remote states like Jiaozhou is weakening.
But when I think about it, in the early days of the founding of Daliang, the control of Jiaozhou was not so strong, and after three hundred years, Jiaozhou did not have a secession party, which was a great luck.
Although this person's whole body was shrouded in black robes, he was not angry and arrogant when he sat on the horse, so that the Qingcheng County Guard and the High Priest did not dare to look at each other, and there was a sense of fear.
It is rumored that the current situation in Jiaozhou has set up a priest alliance to divide the local aborigines and the Liang people into governance, and this state has exerted a lot of strength.
Presumably, he has his own set of governance methods for the priests and priests below, the county guards, and the county orders.
To be able to do this, how can you not have two brushes.
At the first sight, Su Qi'an concluded that this person was not simple.
When judging in his heart, the state envoy sitting on horseback said with a smile.
"Hehe, presumably Marquis Su also understands the identity of this envoy through his subordinates."
"This envoy is just acting on orders, and I hope that the marquis will not blame him."
The state envoy's posture of speaking was very low, but the more this happened, the more vigilant Su Qi'an was in his heart.
Su Qi'an nodded and said softly, "How does Lord Zhou Mu plan to solve this matter?"
Su Qi'an's straightforwardness was not expected by the state envoy, and he said, "This envoy came to mediate the grievances between the two on the order of the state pastor."
"If there is anything wrong with the two of you, it will be a big loss for the State Shepherd, and the State Shepherd doesn't want to see Jiaozhou fall into turmoil."
Su Qi'an's eyes flashed, his face was obviously a little displeased, how could the grievances between him and the Qingcheng County Guard be so easy to uncover in one go.
Don't say it before, just rush just now, the fierce battle between the two sides has reached the point of not ending, if it weren't for their appearance at the critical moment, the current Qingcheng County Guard and High Priest are afraid that they would have become two corpses long ago.
This node is too coincidental, Su Qi'an is not a fool, it is estimated that Li Kang expected this day from the beginning, and quietly sent people to be silent outside the city.
In order to wait for this moment, if the victorious side is the Qingcheng County Guard, they are afraid that they will not appear.
Now he came out, just to save the Qingcheng County Guard and High Priest, Su Qi'an wanted to take Qingcheng County so easily, and he didn't want to see it if he became a state pastor.
Now that the state envoy has brought people to settle in the county town, with Li Kang's order, the matter has been settled, and it is impossible for Su Qi'an to kill the Qingcheng county guard in the face of the real state envoy.
This is
The most unwise move, since the state envoy has shown up, the so-called mediation, he has to see how to regulate.
Su Qi'an's dissatisfaction, the state envoy naturally noticed it, and he immediately said.
"Please rest assured, regarding the handling of this matter, this envoy will definitely give Hou Ye a satisfactory explanation, and please ask both sides to withdraw their troops first, and the county town will not cause turmoil, which is the first place."
"Wait for tonight, there will be a satisfactory result."
Although the state envoy was polite in his words, in fact, if Su Qi'an refused, he would definitely make a move.
Don't look at the state envoy who only brought 2,000 people this time, but if he really made a move, Su Qi'an's casualties would be very large.
Even if Su Qi'an forcibly eats the people brought by the state envoy, then he will be burdened with a crime of disobedience.
In Jiaozhou, Li Kang is the sky, once he disobeys the order and is casually accused by Li Kang, there is absolutely no place for Su Qi'an in Jiaozhou, and now is not the time to tear his face with Li Kang.
Su Qi'an nodded, his eyes signaled, and a group of subordinates quickly assembled.
Su Qi'an turned over his horse, took his subordinates, and left the square square, as for the 20,000 civilians gathered on the periphery of the square, under the arrangement of Tong Zhan and Su Yong, they immediately dispersed.
Even the state envoys were alarmed by this, and since the state envoys had spoken like that, they believed that there would be a satisfactory outcome in this matter.
Not long after Su Qi'an led his troops to leave the square in the square, the pale Qingcheng county guard and the high priest suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and their bodies were a little paralyzed.
Fortunately, with the support of his soldiers, he did not lose face in front of the state envoy.
The two gasped, and then walked up to the state envoy to complain.
"Your Excellency, it's a good thing you're here, if it's too late, my two lives won't be guaranteed."
"Yes, Lord Governor, you have to make decisions for us, this Su Qi'an is too bold, not only dares to attack the county seat, but even occupies our territory, if he really takes it, this will hit the face of Lord Governor."
"I beg the state envoy to give an order immediately, take down Su Qi'an, I am willing to be the vanguard, and ask to fight!"
「……」
The appearance of the state envoy seems to be the savior of the two, and they can't stop talking and talking, in their opinion, as long as the state envoy makes a move, what is a little Su Qi'an?
As everyone knows, when the two of them kept talking, the state envoy's breath was obviously much lower.
The next moment, the state envoy directly snorted coldly, interrupting the interest of the two, "Enough! Shut up Ben, a bunch of waste, and don't think it's enough to lose face to the state pastor?"
"Let this envoy take action, and be a free thug for you? Don't you take yourself too seriously?"
The two of them, who were still quite interested just now, their bodies trembled, and their faces instantly stiffened.
and the pleasant face towards Su Qi'an just now, the state envoy's attitude towards them this time is called a cold one.
In his tone, there was even a little anger, as long as the state envoy was willing, the next moment, their head would not be guaranteed.
The two hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and apologized, and the appearance of the state envoy did make the two a little carried away.
I almost forgot that this lord is a ruthless person, and it is just a matter of words to really kill them.
Seeing that they begged for mercy again and again, and that they had restored their previous fears, the state envoy's anger calmed down slightly.
He was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "Okay, get up for Ben, this time Ben Envoy saved your life, it is an adult's order, cherish it."
"After you are transferred out of the city, come to the envoy's room, as the old saying goes, you must tie the bell to the bell, give you a chance, don't let the adults down, if you fail, what to do, you know for yourself."
After speaking, the state envoy rode a horse, took a group of people, and turned to leave, leaving behind the two whose faces changed.
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the complexity of each other's hearts, yes, since choosing to become Li Kang's dog, some things do have to contribute.
The two of them flashed their eyes, their eyes showed firmness, and the next moment, they walked towards the outside of the square.
The turmoil in the county town, with the arrival of the state envoy, was temporarily stabilized.
The people in the city did not know what the state envoy had discussed with the two sides, but they only knew that they would be in the county guard mansion at night to personally mediate the contradictions between the two sides and give the other party a satisfactory result.
Immediately afterwards, as the three parties left the square one after another, and then, the men and horses assembled by the two sides were all transferred out of the county town and stationed outside the city.
The defense of the city was taken over by the people brought by the state envoy, and according to the words of the state envoy, the grievances between the two sides were too great, and the soldiers under his command stayed in the city, so it was difficult not to have friction.
For the sake of stability in the city, he temporarily transferred his soldiers to leave the city, and according to the agreement, until dark, there were still two hours.
During these two hours, both sides rested in their respective camps.
Su Qi'an led a regiment to be stationed outside the city, and the second regiment that remained on the periphery soon joined him.
After all, the matter of the county town is basically over, and then there is mediation, and the vigilance of the second regiment has no effect, so it simply converges, and if something happens, it can be dispatched quickly.
Although the county seat was temporarily taken over by the state envoy, the people in the city basically turned their hearts to Su Qi'an.
Even if the county town did not belong to Su Qi'an in the end, it would not be in the hands of the Qingcheng county guard and the high priest.
As for what the two did, the state envoy wanted to cover up for them, but he was afraid that he could not do anything.
It is estimated that most of the two will be transferred, and the county town has not been taken, Su Qi'an is a little regretful, but the high priest's territory is the meat that Su Qi'an can eat at any time.
The high priest's territory belongs to private territory, and Su Qi'an took it, which is nothing more than a contradiction between the two sides, and it can't be controlled at all by the law of Jiaozhou Daliang.
At most, this matter will be troubled by the priest alliance, and if it really gets there, Su Qi'an is not afraid, the land grabbing between the priests, a common thing, depends on whose fist is bigger.
How was the territory of the little priest taken by Su Qi'an, and the territory of the high priest could be done directly.
As time passed, two hours passed, and the horizon gradually became covered with night.
Su Qi'an, who was stationed outside the city, opened his eyes and entered the city with the guard company, as for the county guard and high priest of Qingcheng, he was more anxious and entered the city an hour in advance.
He also only brought about a hundred or so people with him, which was not because the two of them didn't want to bring more, but the rules set by the state envoy.
The two sides discussed that the guards entering the city should not exceed 100 or so.
After all, it is a negotiation, and there are too many people, if there is another battle, how will it end, and there are 2,000 soldiers in the city, to ensure their safety, they still have the ability.
