Chapter 398: Plan Ahead

Not to mention the local people, even some bandits can't see a shadow, this kind of remote place, but the bandits' favorite place.

Whether it is robbing or escaping, it is definitely a natural place, but along the way, the army can still see some people at first, but the further they go east, the more remote they become.

In the final analysis, this road is the only way to the south of the state in the east.

Nanzhou, of the three states in the south, can be said to be the most loyal state to Daliang among the three states.

The whole state is carried out in accordance with the law of Da Liang, and the priest alliance composed of the natives has basically been wiped out in Nanzhou, and the rest are obediently obedient.

It can be said that Nanzhou is the center of the southern border, and no matter the strength, economy, and public security, it is not comparable to Jiaozhou.

Therefore, the further east you go, the closer you get to the boundary of Nanzhou, it is impossible for bandits to survive here.

The proximity to Nanzhou is not far from death, and in the early years, in the eastern area, there were really many bandits gathered.

They rely on their advantageous geographical location to engage in robbery business, and sometimes even cross the border.

What they fought was that the two states did not interact with each other, and even if the officers and soldiers of Nanzhou pursued and suppressed Jiaozhou, some cumbersome and complicated procedures would have to be enough for them to toss for a long time.

The calculation is very good, but it is a pity that these bandits ran into Gu Hua, who had just taken office.

Without saying a word, this Nanzhou pastor directly sent troops, crossed the border strongly, and spent two months completely exterminating the bandits in the east of Jiaozhou.

At that time, everyone in Jiaozhou was looking forward to what Li Kang would fight back.

But until all the bandits in the east of Jiaozhou were eradicated, Li Kang had no intention of fighting back, not only that, but soon after the bandits subsided, he issued a thank you announcement.

In the end, under the gaze of many people who were a little surprised, the Nanzhou soldiers who entered the country triumphed.

And dropped a sentence, if there are bandits in the east of Jiaozhou and they cross the border wantonly, the Nanzhou soldiers don't mind taking good care of these bandits for the Jiaozhou soldiers.

Gu Huaneng's declaration of such a domineering statement, everything is inseparable from the money, food and people in his hands.

After all, of the original three southern states, Nanzhou was the first to submit to the rule of the Great Liang, and actively cooperated with all the actions of the Great Liang Emperor.

In the south of Daliang, there is such a state that is loyal and loyal to the imperial court.

Emperor Daliang naturally did not favor one over the other, and under the rule of the Great Liang Emperors of all dynasties, it can be said that he gave all the assistance to Nanzhou.

Asking for money for money, asking for grain for food, plus several generations of state pastors in Nanzhou are not too bad.

The development of Nanzhou can be described as unrivaled in the three states, even Li Kang, who is the number one in Jiaozhou, has to weigh well when facing the Nanzhou soldiers, whether it is really time to tear his face, what are his chances of winning.

It can be said that because of the existence of Nanzhou, the stability of the southern border has been maintained for so many years, so after experiencing the invasion and suppression of bandits by Nanzhou soldiers.

The east of Jiaozhou can be said to be relatively safe, if it were not for the mountainous east and not suitable for cultivating grain, I am afraid that the people of Jiaozhou would have migrated here long ago.

It's normal to see no people along the way.

Su Qi'an, who was riding a horse, looked around, and he sighed a little, "This place is not suitable for living, but it can be used for military training."

Of course, this is a later story, and I have to come back from Nanzhou to talk about it, and my eyes are withdrawn, this time Su Qi'an set off for Nanzhou, and he only took the team directly under the headquarters with him.

That is, the three directly subordinate teams of guards, special operations reconnaissance, and communications, when the Dongshan Army expanded, Su Qi'an instantly appropriately increased the strength of the direct subordinate team.

From about 800 people at the beginning, to 2,000 now, of course, the largest increase in strength is the guard company.

The number of people increased from about 200 to 1,000, and the two companies of special operations reconnaissance and communications corresponded to about 500 people.

The reason for increasing the number of guards is that it is decided on the basis of the types of troops, and the requirements for the guard units are relatively lower than those of the special operations reconnaissance and communications units.

As Su Qi'an's status is getting higher and higher, and in peacetime, it is not enough to rely on the guard team of about 200 people, after all, it can't always be without manpower, so the Dongshan Army will be withdrawn.

Therefore, it is necessary to expand the Guards, and most importantly

The key point is to expand the number of troops directly under the headquarters by 2,000 people, so that from the outside, it can be used as a pretense to confuse others.

Let them mistakenly think that these two thousand people are the Dongshan Army in the hands of Su Qi'an, so there are fewer people with intentions to secretly stir up trouble.

As for the expanded team directly under the headquarters, Su Qi'an was not recruited from recruits, but from local militias, and most of them were from Tucheng County.

In Jiaozhou, at present, only Tucheng County is the most loyal to Su Qi'an, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a confidant.

Such a person as a guard, at least will be at ease.

The 2,000-strong direct subordinate team is the guard team for the periphery and the central part of the guard, while the internal protection work comes from the special operations reconnaissance team.

As for the communication team, it is not only Su Qi'an who transmits information, but also his eyes, usually staying with Su Qi'an, once entering the city, the communication team will gradually disperse, disappear, and turn underground.

In order to better cultivate the multiple skills of communication, Su Qi'an asked Wang Yan to serve as an instructor of the communication team this time.

Among all kinds of personnel, except for Wang Yan, Su Qi'an could not find a second suitable candidate.

In addition to physical strength and skill, communications personnel also need to investigate, counter-investigate, and escape, which are all keys, and it can be said that those who can be selected for the communications team are basically all-round talents.

In the first two, Su Qi'an can also let Tong Zhan teach, but the last three, especially in the escape area, compared to Wang Yan, Tong Zhan is somewhat worse.

Wang Yan, who can become the top of the killer list, her strength is obvious to all, let her serve as the instructor of the communication team, and no one will say anything.

But she herself refused at first, she said that her existence was just on Su Fengling's order to protect Su Qi'an's personal safety, and she was not interested in teaching people.

In order to let Wang Yan serve as an instructor, Su Qi'an wasted a lot of effort, which was called a bitter heart, and finally reached an agreement with Wang Yan.

As long as she can teach the communication team, Su Qi'an will discuss with Su Fengling and let her go back to Su Fengling.

This condition made Wang Yan quickly agree.

Recalling the original agreement with Wang Yan, Su Qi'an still can't figure out what means Su Fengling used to make this famous king of Hades submit.

I think that at the beginning, these two looked down on each other, and they had the meaning of seeing each other, but in half a year, Wang Yan was so obedient to Su Fengling.

Maybe it's still the same sentence, only women understand women.

Su Qi'an thought to no avail, so he could only explain it like this.

This time I went to Nanzhou, at their speed, it is estimated that it will take seven or eight days, not to mention his direct team, just the Split Mountain Army that rises around the front and back, basically nothing will happen along the way.

If there are really people who can't open their eyes, they can only say that their fate is not good, and they have to find death.

Putting down with peace of mind, the huge army slowly drove towards Nanzhou, and at this time, the picture turned, Xizhou City Mansion.

A subordinate dressed in black reported something to Tang Feng and Tang Xiao, father and son, and about a quarter of an hour later, Tang Feng waved his hand, and the person quickly disappeared.

Tang Feng had a letter in his hand, he only took a cursory look at it, and handed it to Tang Xiao beside him.

Tang Xiao's eyes flashed, there was an inexplicable shock on his face, and he said after being silent for a while.

"Father, I didn't expect this Li Kang to be knocked down, what is the name of the new leader, Huo Cheng, what is the background of this person, can he have such a big background?"

Tang Feng's face was also solemn, he was very surprised by Li Kang's death, although he only knew the news a month late.

But because of the traffic jam, the border checkpoints between states will be closed in case of emergency, which is normal.

As early as a few months ago, there was correspondence between him and Li Kang.

According to Li Kang, soon after, there will be a war in Jiaozhou, and he didn't care about the news at the beginning, what strength and background Li Kang has, and has ruled Jiaozhou for so many years.

In the counterinsurgency war, if he is not captured, who can shake his position?

But in the end, it was Li Kang who lost power, and what is the name of the superior Huo Cheng, in order to understand what happened in Jiaozhou.

Tang Feng spent a long time sending people to infiltrate Jiaozhou, and now he barely knows

Some news insider.

Li Kang's loss of power was due to the sudden rebellion of several county guards and priest alliances, coupled with the dispatch of Nanzhou soldiers, which led to Li Kang's defeat.

On the surface, this seems to be a very normal seizure of power, but Tang Feng knows that the Dongshan Marquis who made a big fuss in Xizhou went to Jiaozhou.

And in the past two years, except for knowing that he has gained a foothold in a small county town called Tucheng and barely gained a foothold, there has been no big news about Su Qi'an

In the last correspondence, he specially asked Li Kang, and the news he could get was only four words, so there was nothing to worry about.

If it were someone else, maybe they would relax, but Tang Feng had dealt with Su Qi'an, and this person was not as simple as he imagined.

And according to Tang Feng's investigation, that Tucheng County is very close to the newly appointed Zhou Muhuo City and the previous Yangliu County.

Tang Feng suddenly had a thought, could this Huo Cheng be Su Qi'an's pseudonym? Either the mastermind behind this Huo City is Su Qi'an.

As Tang Feng's son, Tang Xiao can still guess what his father thinks, he continued.

"Father, if we are sending people to infiltrate Jiaozhou, I want to know something, it shouldn't be difficult."

Tang Xiao's proposal was rejected by Tang Feng, the reason is very simple, even if they found something unusual, Su Qi'an was the mastermind behind the scenes, and they couldn't change the fact that the new state pastor of Jiaozhou was in charge.

And once the matter leaks out, with Su Qi'an's strength, it will not be easy to take down their people in the Jiaozhou territory, and the most important thing is that when the war breaks out in Jiaozhou, Nanzhou will intervene.

What are the intentions of Nanzhou, is there royal support? None of this is clear, acting without permission, hurting yourself.

But if Tang Feng wants to do nothing, it is not his character, after being silent for a while, Tang Feng suddenly asked.

"Xiao'er, I remember you said before that in the counties under the counties, there is a business called Wanggui Buxing, which seems to be very suspicious, I think I can try it from them."

As soon as these words came out, Tang Xiao instantly understood, nodded, and hurriedly said, "The child understands, so let's do it."

"Remember, even if this matter is confirmed to be related to Su Qi'an, don't startle the snake, secretly monitor, and surround it secretly."

"Because you don't know, plan ahead and plan ahead, and a card you have is likely to save your life at some point."
