The arrival of this good and bad news surprised Su Qi'an, not that Su Qi'an couldn't accept that something bad had happened.

But at this juncture, it came at the same time, which was somewhat playful, as if it had been discussed in advance.

Let's talk about the good news first, it is not what Su Qi'an expected, since the state envoy has promised before leaving, it is still in front of the ninth princess, and this matter is not a big problem.

The reason why Wu Yong was nominated was that he did have the ability to serve as a county guard.

Don't look at him as just a small county magistrate, but whether it is from his qualifications or what he has done as a county magistrate for many years, he is already qualified to serve as a county magistrate.

It's just that he hasn't met anyone who is willing to promote him, after all, Wu Yong has not been in the same league with Shang for so many years, and if he is willing, no matter how bad he is, he will be a county.

Just taking the opportunity of the state envoy, Su Qi'an reported Wu Yong's name.

Although he is the acting county guard, Su Qi'an believes that with his ability, it is only a matter of time before he removes that generation.

Knowing that he was appointed to act as the county guard, Wu Yong was quite excited, he knew that he could come to this point, and Su Qi'an made a lot of efforts.

I immediately wanted to bow down and express my gratitude, but was stopped by Su Qi'an, Su Qi'an supported Wu Yong and told him a sentence, "It is also his ability to be reused, after serving as the county guard, he doesn't want to do anything, although he is bold in government, and the rest is left to him."

Su Qi'an's words were to give Wu Yong a kind of confidence, Wu Yong nodded heavily, and he would definitely not live up to Su Qi'an's attention.

After the good things are said, we have to talk about the next patriarch priest, who led 50,000 natives straight to Qingcheng County.

Sending a large army this time is enough to see that the priest alliance is quite dissatisfied, even angry, with Su Qi'an occupying the high priest's territory.

Otherwise, they would not have let the respected patriarch priest lead the team.

In the entire priestly alliance, there are only three patriarchal priests, and these three people are the highest authorities of all the priests.

Everyone's status is quite lofty, although it is not as good as Li Kang, the state pastor, but even if they see it every day, the three of them don't have to salute Li Kang.

From this point of view, we can see how noble the status of the so-called patriarchal priest is.

This time, the priest alliance sent the patriarch priest to lead the team, and led 50,000 natives straight to Qingcheng County, which had the posture of a big battle.

Their purpose was not to avenge the high priest, but to grab territory.

The death of a high priest, the territory he had been operating for many years, how could there be nothing.

This time to occupy the territory of the high priest, not to mention anything else, the money and silver alone are at least more than 600,000.

And that's just the money, and it doesn't include the high priest's various properties, iron mines, salt mines, and commercial assets invested in the county.

This kind of real estate is the real huge wealth, and it is fake for anyone not to be impressed.

This time he took the territory of the high priest and the county guard of Qingcheng, and Su Qi'an gained a lot.

In addition to the high priest, in the county town, Su Qi'an confiscated all the properties of the Qingcheng county guard, which was also a considerable amount of money.

In his secret storehouse, there were 500,000 yuan in money and silver, 80,000 stone of grain, two small iron mines, one small salt mine, and hundreds to thousands of various armors, silk and satin, and so on.

Confiscated all the assets of the two, just this weight, in exchange for who is not red-eyed.

Not to mention anything else, at least 1.1 million yuan in money and silver is enough for Su Qi'an to feed his army, and to be able to build county seats, county seats, and feed a large group of people.

This huge amount of money and silver is really a relief for Su Qi'an.

If it weren't for the seizure of these private properties, the 100,000 families Su Qi'an brought from Xizhou would have been used out of the hole long ago.

With these private properties, even in the face of an army of 50,000 natives, Su Qi'an is not afraid.

Now he can be regarded as a strong soldier and a strong horse, and he also has the strength to fight.

This massive siege seemed to be violent, but in fact, their main targets were only the territory of the high priest occupied by Chen Zhi, as well as the named Qi'an City and Suzhou City.

As for the county seat and county seat, but

Not a word.

This is actually easy to understand, the county seat and county seat are originally the territories of Daliang in Jiaozhou. Look at the book

The priests and the officials of Jiaozhou were the water of the wells and did not interfere with the water of the river, and each governed his own territory.

Su Qi'an first took the territory of the small priest, and then the territory of the high priest, which was not only a provocation for the priest alliance, but a naked violation.

Since Su Qi'an dared to occupy it in a grand manner, then it was done according to the rules among the priests.

Whoever has the biggest fist will listen to whomever he is.

This is also the reason why the Priest Alliance is not afraid that their powerful actions will be interfered with by the state pastors.

This is the friction between the priests and the priests, Su Qi'an occupies the land of the priests, and admits that he is a member of the priests in disguise, so this matter has nothing to do with the state pastor.

The Priest Alliance was a little overthought about it, and when the news came, a statement was also issued from the state city.

This matter is a private matter between the Priest Alliance and Marquis Su, as long as it does not affect the six counties of Jiaozhou, the state city will not send troops to help.

This result was basically expected by Su Qi'an, but he didn't want Li Kang to interfere in this matter.

If he really sent troops and fished in troubled waters, Su Qi'an would have to pay attention to him.

It happened that such a statement was issued by the state city, which fell in Su Qi'an's heart.

He gave the order as soon as he could, and began to fight hard.

Don't look at the 50,000 natives who are huge, but in fact, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people who can really fight, and most of the rest are a group of indiscriminate people.

It's not that Su Qi'an looks down on these natives, but these priests are a little too wasteful in governing people.

The population of a high priest is more than 100,000, and according to Su Qi'an's understanding this time, in addition to one patriarch priest, there are also five high priests.

Anyone who does not have a guard against the natives under his jurisdiction, who buys and builds some weapons and equipment, does not believe in ghosts and gods, and engages in more training programs.

would not have such a huge population, and in the end it was suppressed by Li Kang's tens of thousands of soldiers.

These priests have a set of pretending to be gods and ghosts, but they can train natives and soldiers, which is not much different from waste materials.

will only use crowd tactics, and such an army will only take some time to solve it in Su Qi'an's opinion.

This engagement can be regarded as an experience for the Dongshan Army after the expansion, and it is also a test of the logistical ability of the managers of each small city.

The 50,000 natives who had gathered in a mighty manner were assembled and stood by, and under the leadership of the patriarch priest and the five high priests, they set off towards Qingcheng County.

At the same time, two or three hundred miles away, in the state city, in a room.

The state envoy reported something to Li Kang.

Li Kang, who was sitting above, nodded and said softly. "Well, you did a good job in this matter, and these two wastes didn't confess to you, but unfortunately, waste is waste, such a good opportunity, you couldn't take Su Qi'an, it's good to die."

"Their families, useless, are sent to the mining area to do forced labor."

"By the way, do you think Su Qi'an will believe your words?"

The state envoy standing below shook his head and said, "Don't worry, whether Su Qi'an believes it or not, he has no evidence to prove that I colluded with the high priest and the Qingcheng county guard, this operation really underestimated him, but I didn't expect the Nine Princesses standing behind him."

"My lord, in my opinion, we have to think long-term about dealing with Su Qi'an, and it is a troublesome matter to have these nine princesses here."

The state envoy said, Li Kang agreed, "Fortunately, you have the foresight to do nothing, otherwise it will be difficult for the state to pass the royal level."

"But I don't know one thing, why did you make a statement not to participate in the battle between the patriarch priest and Su Qi'an, if there is no statement, Su Qi'an will definitely take care of Benzhou, once the statement comes out, he is afraid that he has no scruples."

"My lord, let me tell you a story, in the northern Darong, the Rong people will catch many poisonous insects, put them in a jar to feed, during the feeding period, they will not give any feed, they will rely on each other to eat, and the only one that survives in the end will be released."

"My lord, what do you think will happen to this released worm?"

"That's a meadow, of course." Li Kang said without thinking.

The envoy shook his head with a smile, "It will be eaten by the bird on its head."

"My lord, no matter how much hardship you go through, even if you survive to the end, the bugs are always bugs, and you can't escape the fate of being eaten, this is the cultivation method of the Northern Rong people."

The state envoy's words woke Li Kang up, and he knew that the state envoy wanted to support Su Qi'an and take this opportunity to consume the priest alliance.

Before, he also had this meaning for Su Qi'an, but it was limited to suppressing bandits and occupying a small county town, he was not as bold as the state envoy, and directly acquiesced to Su Qi'an's people as the county guard, not to mention, but even connived at him to occupy the entire Qingcheng County.

Of the six counties in Jiaozhou, one county was occupied by him, and with Su Qi'an's outstanding eloquence and several orders, he had talents, soldiers, and territory in his hands.

This is not a good sign, Li Kang even moved the idea of getting rid of Su Qi'an now.

Now it seems that the audacity of the state envoy was a bit risky, but it was best used against the Priest Alliance.

Don't think that the Priest Alliance obeys him, but in the past few years, those old immortals have obviously had some changes, after all, the territory and population of both sides, it is obvious that the Priest Alliance has the upper hand.

If it weren't for the fact that he had the children of these people in his hands and tens of thousands of state soldiers to be intimidated, I am afraid that these old men would have rioted a long time ago.

And now that Su Qi'an has developed and grown, it is just right to use him to consume the priest alliance, as for them, they can sit firmly in Diaoyutai, and when the time comes, it doesn't matter if it is the priest alliance or Su Qi'an, as the state envoy said.

Bugs are bugs after all, and they will eventually be eaten by the birds on their heads, and both sides will not escape their palms.

Now that I think about it, he is indeed a little too cautious, but fortunately he has the state envoy by his side.

If it weren't for him, Li Kang would not have been able to sit firmly in the top position of Jiaozhou for so many years.

"Then let's wait and see," Li Kang said.

The state envoy nodded, and then turned to leave, but what Li Kang didn't know was that before the state envoy left, his eyes obviously flashed with a different color, which made people feel quite amused.
