Gu Hua was dressed as a middle-aged Confucian student, if it weren't for Xie Cang stepping forward and saluting respectfully, who would have thought that this person would be the supreme ruler in Nanzhou.

If Gu Hua is really regarded as a literati and Confucian scholar, even if it is a big mistake, it is not an exaggeration to say that everyone who serves as a state pastor of a state is a feudal official.

If you underestimate it, you will only suffer from it.

At this time, Su Qi'an stepped forward and saluted respectfully, if nothing else, just because he was able to govern Nanzhou so well, it was enough for Su Qi'an to salute.

Gu Hua waved his hand, motioned for the two to take a seat, looked at Su Qi'an, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, I have long heard of the name of Dongshan Hou, and when I saw it today, it is really a talent, Li Kang can be defeated in your hands, it is indeed not wronged."

Gu Hua's praise, Su Qi'an shook his head and said, "Li Kang's failure is completely his own fault, Su just conformed to the will of the people, and with the support of local officials, he was lucky to bring Li Kang down."

"In this battle, the biggest contribution is still the local priest alliance, Su is just complimenting, here, I have to thank Gu Zhoumu for sending troops to support, if there is no reinforcement from Gu Zhoumu, even if Li Kang is solved, Jiaozhou will have to fall into chaos in a short time."

Su Qi'an's voice was very soft, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't show any arrogance at all.

Gu Hua nodded, with a smile on his face, and a pair of deep eyes with a slightly satisfied look.

"Well, in general, Jiaozhou can be pacified, Dongshan Hou still has a lot of strength, not to mention anything else, can coexist peacefully with the priest alliance in Jiaozhou, and even reach an agreement, this point, Li Kang can't do it."

"Even in the southern state of this state, these priests have spent a lot of effort to submit to it."

"If the Marquis of Dongshan cooperates and uses it well, these priests will be a big help to Jiaozhou."

Gu Hua's words coincided with Su Qi'an's thoughts, if they were used, the priest alliance in Jiaozhou would not only not become a big scourge, but a great help to Su Qi'an.

When Gu Hua said this, he didn't say it casually, but gave Su Qi'an a direction.

Su Qi'an naturally had no intention of refusing, and nodded again and again.

At this time, Xie Cang on the side couldn't help but speak, "My lord, Brother Su finally came to Nanzhou, and he was dusty all the way, I think these gossips should be said in private."

"I've already invited someone, don't you have something important to discuss with Brother Su, you're chatting like this, Brother Su doesn't have time to rest tonight."

Hearing Xie Cang say this, Gu Hua was stunned, then laughed, and said with a smile that Xie Cang was an anxious person.

Xie Cang's casual posture, Su Qi'an was a little surprised, he dared to talk to the governor of Yizhou like this, there was no rule, and it was estimated that only Xie Cang was there.

Although Su Qi'an didn't know this Nanzhou pastor, he could clearly see from the conversation between the two that Gu Hua's love for Xie Cang was like an elder looking at a junior.

If it were someone else, Su Qi'an believed that Gu Hua would definitely not be so undignified.

If you don't have any real skills in your hands, how can you control Nanzhou and develop Nanzhou to such a prosperous point with just friendliness.

After thinking about it, Xie Cangneng and Gu Hua are so unruly, aside from Gu Hua's status as a student of Chu Guogong, they will take care of Xie Cang, the righteous son of Chu Guo.

What's more, Xie Cang has the ability, in Nanzhou, Xie Cang's reputation is no worse than him in Jiaozhou.

Along the way, the county guards, county orders, and local soldiers, all who saw Xie Cang were quite respectful, especially some soldiers, with a little admiration in their eyes.

can make these people so respectful, relying on Xie Cang's strength in Nanzhou.

Xie Cang came to Nanzhou for three years, and in just three years, not only did he reorganize the Split Mountain Army that was crippled at the beginning, but also the Split Mountain Army was present in the large and small wars that took place in Nanzhou.

Whether it is the bandits, or those rebellious Nanzhou priests, as long as the Split Mountain Army comes out, there is no injustice.

It can be said that the current Split Mountain Army, among the 70,000 Nanzhou soldiers, is the strongest army.

It was precisely because of the importance attached to Xie Cang that Gu Hua even acquiesced in Xie Cang's Split Mountain Army, and the strength expanded to 15,000 people.

If it was placed in other states, Xie Cang would have been impeached long ago, but in Nanzhou, to put it mildly, as long as Gu Hua served as the pastor of Nanzhou for one day, Xie Cang's Split Mountain Army would be able to maintain such a scale, and he would naturally be the hottest new star in Nanzhou.

Therefore, no matter what era you are in, as long as you have outstanding strength and meet a good Bole, you can give full play to all your talents.

Now it seems that Xie Cang's transfer to Nanzhou three years ago was a very correct thing.

Seeing that Xie Cang was doing well in Nanzhou, Su Qi'an, who was a good friend, was naturally happy for him.

After a period of frolic, Gu Hua didn't go around in circles, looked at Su Qi'an, and said softly.

"Dongshan Hou, this state invited you to come to Nanzhou this time, because you were entrusted by someone."

Su Qi'an's eyes flashed and he didn't speak.

"You also know this person Dongshan Hou, it is Su Kang, the sixth prince."

As soon as these words came out, Su Qi'an was a little shocked, in his impression, he and Su Kang only had a one-sided relationship.

It's only met in Kyoto at the beginning, and there is no intersection at all, and he is now in the three states in the south, how could the sixth prince find him, and what is the matter with him, could it be that he traveled thousands of miles from Kyoto to Nanzhou?

Su Qi'an's shock, in Gu Hua's expectation, he explained, "The Marquis of Dongshan should forget one thing, my Daliang prince, after he becomes an adult, will have his own fief, like the second prince Su Zhe, who was named the king of Jin and the fief is in Jinzhou, and the fourth prince Su Tai is the king of Zhao and the fief is in Zhaozhou."

"And this sixth prince was named the king of Yue, and the fief is naturally in Yuezhou, that is, Yuezhou in the three southern states."

Being explained by Gu Hua like this, Su Qi'an was first startled, and then showed a look of surprise.

He really didn't pay too much attention to this matter, but he didn't expect that the fiefdom of the sixth prince was in the southern realm, which could be regarded as doomed.

But from a certain point of view, the sixth prince is indeed not very favored, judging from the fiefdoms of the three princes, it can be known that His Majesty now favors the other two princes more.

Whether it is Jinju or Zhaozhou, one is in the southwest of Kyoto, the other is in the northeast of Kyoto, except for Yuezhou, which is in the southeast of Daliang, and there are at least two or three states in the middle from Kyoto.

Moreover, Yuezhou is close to the sea, and will be disturbed by torrential rains and floods all year round, the land is barren, and the harvest of a year is in the smooth year, which is similar to Jiaozhou.

Such a barren place, as a fief, among the three princes, is really a bit shabby.

Su Qi'an can't worry about these, these are all battles between princes, and they have nothing to do with him, what he wants now is to develop Jiaozhou with peace of mind and accumulate strength, until he returns to Xizhou and settles accounts with Tang Feng.

Su Qi'an looked at Gu Hua and said, "If Lord Gu has anything to say, let's get straight to the point, since the sixth prince has something to find me, as a child of the royal family, if Su can help, he will definitely help."

"Haha, Dongshan Hou is really fast-talking, since he said so, Benzhou will not hide it, this time entrusted by the six princes, I asked Dongshan Hou to go to Yuezhou to help the six princes exterminate the pirates."

"Pirates?" Su Qi'an was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something.

The territory of Daliang is bordered by the sea in the southeast, and the only states near the sea are Dongzhou and Yuezhou.

The people of these two states basically go to sea to fish for a living, and although they can't earn much money all year round, it's still no problem to barely get enough food and clothing.

But I don't know when the fishermen who went out to sea to fish actually encountered pirates.

At first, the scale of these pirates was not large, and the focus of Da Liang at that time had always been to defend against Da Rong in the north, and the so-called pirates were not taken into account at all.

Not only the Daliang royal family, but even the governor of the two states is also the same, and they sent troops to encircle and suppress them in accordance with the normal form of suppressing bandits.

At first, there were some victories, killing more than 100 people and destroying more than a dozen small fishing boats.

This gave great confidence to the soldiers who were encircling and suppressing at that time, and under the instructions of the governor of the state, they directly sent 5,000 people on ten warships to prepare

Defeat their old nest, Black Wind Island, in one fell swoop.

According to the information obtained, the remaining pirates on Blackwind Island are at most 1,000 people, and there are no large warships in their hands.

Compared with them, it can be said to be crushing, and this sortie was thought to be nine out of ten.

As a result, when they arrived at Black Wind Island, they found that Black Wind Island had long been empty, and when they reacted, they realized that they had been fooled, and the island was surrounded by at least more than 5,000 pirates.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides, but when they fought each other, they found out where these people were pirates, and at first glance they were well-trained soldiers, and in the exchange, they found that these people were speaking something they didn't understand.

At first glance, they were not pirates at all, and the soldiers who landed on the island immediately retreated, but on the way to retreat, they encountered a strong wind and the warship ran aground.

The 5,000 soldiers who finally landed on the island, except for those with good water quality, were lucky enough to hold on to the broken planks and were washed back and found and rescued.

According to the statistics of this battle, only more than 200 of the 5,000 people were rescued, and all the rest died on Black Wind Island.

Later, after inquiry, I learned that behind this group of pirates, they were supported by an island country from the other side of the sea.

This island nation is recorded in many ancient books of the sages, because of its general short stature, it was called the Japanese slaves, and later called the Japanese slaves.

In the heyday of the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, he had dealt with these Japanese robbers, and he was not the opponent of the Great Liang at all, but a former vassal of the Great Liang.

But hundreds of years later, these guys dared to support the pirates and invade Daliang, which made the governors of the two states quite angry.

Immediately set up a sailor, ready to teach these guys a lesson, the idea is good, but the ending is a big surprise.

The 40,000-strong sailor fleet fought fiercely with the Japanese sailors on Black Wind Island for half a month, and finally the two sides ended in a draw.

This kind of draw is not a simple one-to-one, and the battle loss ratio reaches two to one.

During the battle on Blackwind Island, there were only 10,000 pirates and 10,000 pirates.

Moreover, their warships cannot be compared with the Great Liangshui Division at all, but they have the advantage of soldiers and the huge advantage of warships, and the result is a draw, and the battle loss is one to two.

This battle is known as the shame of Black Wind Island, that is, since then, the pirates have become more unscrupulous, and the pirates of the nearby islands have been enveloped by them, and after so many years of development, they are claimed to have 70,000 people.
