Chapter 383: Reverse Water, Shocking Reversal
This scene made many people stunned, especially the eldest elder and the third elder, who looked at it several times, but the originally fierce battlefield below was almost at the end, and the men and horses on both sides gradually withdrew at this time.
The two of them looked at each other and looked at the two elders with puzzled faces, "What's going on?"
After all, they finally waited for the arrival of reinforcements, even if the state envoy planned to enter the city with reinforcements, converge, and make follow-up counterattacks.
But the reality is that not long after the arrival of reinforcements, there are indeed signs of a big war between the two sides, but the time lasts too short.
After a while, the reinforcements and the Dongshan Army seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and they withdrew almost at the same time.
There is no intention of follow-up counterattack at all, which makes the two elders can be said to be full of confusion.
The two elders standing in the middle were much calmer, he was silent for a while, and said softly.
"Isn't this a good thing? Do we have to look at our natives, and it's a good thing to run them out?"
The two of them were stunned, shook their heads and said, "Second Elder, you know that we don't mean that, but this battle is really unruly, unless you..."
The two of them are not stupid, looking at the calm appearance of the two elders, they seem to have guessed something, and their eyes show disbelief.
The two elders looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Hehe, that's right. This is the new agreement I have reached with Su Qi'an, to assist him in counterattacking the state city and defeating Li Kang."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two elders kept changing, and the decision of the two elders really surprised them.
If it is said that the two elders were forced to stab Li Kang in the back before, and they had no choice but to sign a contract with Su Qi'an, they can still understand.
But this time, it was directly an agreement with Su Qi'an to cooperate with him in acting and help him defeat Li Kang, and it was difficult to decide to change them.
Usually they don't get along with Li Kang, but they are far from joining forces with outsiders and attacking Li Kang in turn.
Li Kang's strength is there, if there is no absolute strength, how can he sit in Jiaozhou for many years, if they can be overthrown so simply, they would have rebelled a long time ago.
The two elders made this determination, it can be said that they are burdened with all the lives of the natives under him, and once they are defeated, with Li Kang's temperament, they will definitely attack the two elders.
In any case, the two elders belong to their alliance of priests, and if the two elders suffer, they will definitely be affected.
It can be said that the three of them are both prosperous and lossy, and they are grasshoppers on a rope.
Before the war, they had specially made an appointment with the two elders for an interview, wanting to know some specific news about Su Qi'an and their views on him from him.
The rhetoric given to them by the two elders was quite official, and they did not reveal any intention to cooperate with Su Qi'an at all.
As a result, when the war broke out, the two elders carried them behind their backs and directly turned against the water, which somewhat made the two a little dissatisfied.
Feeling the emotions of the two, the two elders said softly, "I didn't tell you about this, it's really my fault, but in order to make this scene realistic, I can only hide it from you, and I want to say sorry to you."
"But it looks pretty good."
The eyes of the eldest elder and the third elder turned, their minds turned rapidly, combined with what the two elders said, all of a sudden the two seemed to think of something, raised their eyebrows, with a little shock, and hesitated.
"The Battle of Jiaojun City, including reinforcements, is all to cooperate with Su Qi'an to perform a scene? Could it be that Su Qi'an rebelled against the state envoy and the county guards?"
The two elders didn't answer this time, but they had a smile on their faces.
This behavior is already a kind of acquiescence, and now the two patriarchs' mouths are wide open, and the eyes can no longer be described as shock.
Their minds seemed to have received a huge impact, and that impact was enough to tear apart the minds of the two.
This Su Qi'an has such a great ability, and he will guard the five counties, and even Li Kang's henchmen, and plan against the water, what kind of operation is this, it is not an exaggeration to go against the sky.
"Hehe, two elders, we have been in Jiaozhou for many years, although we enjoy the highest power
But our minds also have to change, and if we don't keep up with the times, everything we have in our hands is destined to abandon us."
The words of the two elders were a little unclear to the two of them, so they still didn't understand how capable this Su Qi'an was, who could govern the county guard of the Jiaozhou side, just like the existence of the soil overlord, and support him against the water.
The two didn't understand, and the two elders didn't go around in circles with them, and told them one by one.
To put it simply, it is definitely not Su Qi'an's so-called charm that can make them support Su Qi'an, but the exchange of interests.
Speaking of the five county guards, it is better to say that their children are all protons in Li Kang's hands, and Su Qi'an promised them that he will definitely help them rescue their children before the end of the war.
As for the priests and natives on the side of the two elders, Su Qi'an promised that as long as he helped him seize Jiaozhou and defeat Li Kang, he would help the priests defeat the invading barbarian Heilu and regain the land that belonged to them.
Between the barbarian Heilu and their natives, they were originally natives of Jiaozhou, and before the Liang people invaded, the two sides had a grudge for hundreds of years.
Barbarian Heilu belongs to a natural fighting people, the number is small, but each combat force is fierce, and the natives are almost only beaten when they encounter them.
Therefore, after the alliance of the 27 tribes of the barbarians, they defeated the natives all the way and drove them out of the place where their ancestors lived.
That place was called the clan land by them, and for so many years, even if the Liang people occupied Jiaozhou, they never gave up accepting the clan land, but the results all failed without exception.
It can be said that the clan land is the heart disease of the elders of the past dynasties, and the reason why they were willing to surrender to Li Kang back then, a large part of them were willing, was that Li Kang promised to help them subdue the clan land.
But after so many years, the 20,000 state soldiers sent by Li Kang have been fighting in Xiacang County for many years, and they have never been able to move forward, which makes the two elders a little disappointed in Li Kang.
At this time, Su Qi'an appeared in front of him, and he had seen the strength of the Dongshan Army and Su Qi'an's command ability, which made the two elders, during the peace talks, secretly sign a second agreement with Su Qi'an.
This is an important reason why the two elders supported Su Qi'an, just to keep the agreement from leaking, and did not consult with the other two elders.
Hearing this, the two patriarchs somewhat understood in their hearts why eighty percent of the natives sent by the priest alliance this time were from the two elders.
Once the two of them want to stop it, with their troops, it is impossible at all, it can be said that the two elders' mental layout, even the worst, have been thought of.
Although this kind of secret defense made the two very unhappy, Su Qi'an was able to get the five county guards and even the state envoys to cooperate with him, in a certain aspect, this person is really talented.
As for why the state envoy cooperated with Su Qi'an, this point was actually not clear to the two elders, he only knew that on the eve of the war, the state envoy sent him a letter.
The content of the letter was basically the second agreement between him and Su Qi'an, which shocked the two elders at the time, but the second half of the sentence explained the identity of the state envoy.
During the outbreak of the war, the state envoy, on behalf of Su Qi'an, contacted and cooperated with the army of the two elders throughout the process, and the two elders only needed to cooperate.
At first, the two elders were a little distrustful of what the state envoy said, but after thinking about it, since this person was able to know about his secret conversation with Su Qi'an, it must be that this person was most likely an informant that Su Qi'an had placed beside Li Kang.
Thinking like this, the two elders admired Su Qi'an's foresight even more, this is no longer called strategizing, but wisdom like a demon.
The two elders were a little glad in their hearts, fortunately they were not enemies with Su Qi'an, otherwise, they would have died now.
After listening to what the two elders said, the two elders basically understood Su Qi'an's whole plan.
The battle of Jiaojun was fierce, and all the Dongshan troops were put in, just to let them ask for help, so that the state envoy had a reason to mobilize the natives of the two counties, and instead left the state soldiers in their own county.
When all their men and horses converge to the county town, they will send a report to the state town, and tell the more tragic the battle, the better.
At this time, on the side of Yangliu County, news was sent at the same time that Su Qi'an was besieged by Huocheng, leading Li Kang to dispatch.
For the sake of things
The state is realistic, the Dongshan army at the beginning did fight and rush, and naturally casualties were inevitable, and Su Qi'an did take a thousand people to Yangliu County.
It's just that Yangliu County is not trapped by Su Qi'an this time, but by Li Kang and other high-level officials in the state city.
In order to trick Li Kang out and trap him, Su Qi'an and they paid a lot in this battle, not to mention anything else, in this battle of Jiaojuncheng, the Dongshan army suffered two thousand casualties, and on their side, four or five thousand people were killed or wounded.
Among these people, they are basically local state soldiers, on the one hand, they lure Li Kang, and on the other hand, they take the opportunity to eradicate Li Kang's state soldiers.
Now the state soldiers of the three counties on the front line, the state soldiers of Jiaojun County have basically been killed by the Dongshan Army, and most of the Yangliu County has also been secretly cleaned up by Huocheng, leaving only the 6,000 state soldiers of Gaolan County.
Since the envoy dared to lead the army to come, he must have disposed of these 6,000 soldiers before setting off.
This method can not be described as ruthless, but when I think about it, this is war, either you die or I live.
At this moment, the crisis in the three counties on the front line was resolved in an instant, and now the 60,000 indigenous troops gathered in Jiaojun City, excluding the dead and wounded, in addition to the remaining local state soldiers, and some obsessed people, they can use 50,000 troops.
Coupled with the 18,000 people of the Dongshan Army, almost 70,000 people, now their task is to divide their troops into two routes, one way to support Yangliu County, and completely sit in Li Kang's urn to catch turtles, and the other way, to send troops to Zhou City.
Looking at it now, if you want to fight quickly, you must quickly take the state city, if the news leaks, and the state soldiers in Xiacang and Chencang counties get the news, it will be troublesome.
Although he rebelled against the five county guards, the two counties of Xiacang and Chencang have always been strategic places in Jiaozhou, and they have been operated by Li Kang for many years.
Therefore, taking the state city is a top priority.
After basically establishing the strategy of supporting Su Qi'an and counterattacking Li Kang, the two elders did not hesitate to hand over the command of all the indigenous armies to the two elders.
Next, it was only necessary to meet with the state envoy and set off in two ways.
