Chapter 401: Temptation, Heart-to-Heart
And from time to time began to invade the two states of East and Vietnam, and the state of Yue was fine, most of the people who came were pirates, but there were Japanese robbers in Dongzhou.
This kind of invasion, in a sense, is a good thing, just enough to annihilate it on its own territory.
I don't know if the governor of the two states was scared and had a shadow on the battle on Black Wind Island, or if he wanted to reduce casualties, he basically defended the city and never showed signs of taking the initiative.
Let these pirates and pirates loot and slaughter the border towns.
These wanton pirates and pirates, like the northern Daei cavalry that invaded south, only sacked the border towns every time, and never went deep alone, and some important military towns would take a detour.
After the ransack, they will retreat as fast as they can, even if sometimes the state pastor orders to chase them, these guys will run faster than rabbits as soon as they get on the boat.
I can't beat it, I can't catch up with it, and gradually I let these pirates and pirates go unchecked, a kind of inexplicable connivance.
And this connivance has been more than ten years, and in the past ten years, the pirates and pirates have become more and more intense, and the Daliang court knows that Erzhou is harassed by pirates and pirates.
There was not much reaction, and it was impossible to send troops to support, but let the two states and state pastors deal with it on their own.
Compared with the harassment of pirates and pirates in the east, the northern Daiei is the biggest threat.
On the border between the two countries, the perennial garrison has reached four or five hundred thousand people, and there have been countless wars of all sizes that have broken out over the years.
And the pirates on the southeast coast, even if there are 70,000 or 80,000 people, in the final analysis, are just a rabble, even if there is the support of the Japanese slaves behind them, the distance between the two is too far, at least thousands of miles.
There will be storms, strong winds, and other unfavorable weather at any time on the way, and there are only 10,000 pirates who can support the pirates.
There are less than 100,000 people in total, most of them are rabble, soldiers from the two states, plus 120,000 people, this is only a regular army, and more than half of them are naval fleets.
In the large and small wars with the pirates and pirates that lasted for at least forty or fifty years, the naval fleet was the best weapon to deal with them, and it was the existence of the naval fleet that allowed the two states to resist the pirates and pirates for so many years.
Even if the worst result comes, the armies of the two states are completely wiped out, and the local people have millions of people, and they can resist for a period of time by temporarily pulling Zhuang Ding into an army.
At that time, it is not too late for Da Liang to send reinforcements, and this policy is not only aimed at the pirates and pirates on the southeast coast, but also against the barbarian natives in the southwest.
Again, compared with the Great Rong Kingdom in the north, the pirates and barbarians are just small characters.
It is precisely because of this direction of national policy that the arrogance of pirates and pirates on the southeast coast has increased to some extent.
Both sides can't help each other, but existence is always a thorn, and this time according to Gu Hua, the news was revealed.
The number of pirates who invaded Yuezhou this time has reached as many as 40,000 or 50,000, which has exceeded the level of 70% or 80% of itself.
This invasion was the largest, and at the same time, Dongzhou was also invaded by the remaining pirates.
Looking at their appearance, it seems that they want to capture the two states of East and Vietnam in one fell swoop.
Dongzhou is okay, its own economy is okay, the soldiers and sailors in its hands are relatively strong, and there is no big problem in dealing with the invading pirates and pirates, the only problem is that it cannot send troops to support.
And the Yuezhou side is not good, forty or fifty thousand pirates landed, before Su Qi'an came, the two sides had already fought a big battle, although at present, the Yuezhou soldiers occupied the top, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
But the pirates who landed this time were like crazy, frantically attacking the city, according to this offensive, even if they couldn't take Yuezhou in the end, half of Yuezhou fell into the hands of pirates, which was basically not a problem.
Therefore, Yuezhou was in an emergency, not only asking Gu Hua for help, but also hoping that Su Qi'an, who was in Jiaozhou, could send reinforcements.
After explaining the cause and effect of this, Su Qi'an basically understood.
Before Su Qi'an could speak, suddenly Xie Cang on the side said directly, "It turned out to be fighting pirates, I thought it was something, these guys are really going to be cleaned up."
"My lord, this time Nanzhou sent troops, and I took it with me
With the mountain army marching out, and Brother Su accompanying them, it will not be a problem to defeat this group of guys."
This is not Xie Cang's malicious exaggeration, when he was in Nanzhou, Xie Cang dealt with some pirates who landed in Yuezhou and wandered to Nanzhou.
These pirates and bandits on land are indeed much stronger, especially cunning, and good at hiding.
But even so, under Xie Cang's command, these pirates who wandered to Nanzhou, without exception, were all killed by Xie Cang.
This time it was nothing more than a little more numerous, but he was not alone, the 50,000 soldiers in Yuezhou, plus his more than 10,000 people in the Split Mountain Army, were enough in terms of numbers.
Coupled with Su Qi'an, a wise man, it is definitely more than enough to defeat the tens of thousands of pirates who landed.
Xie Cang thought it was something, but it turned out to be this thing, Su Qi'an himself was a child of the royal family, and when he was in Kyoto, he had met with several princes.
It can be regarded as an acquaintance, this time I went to Yuezhou, it should not be a big problem, Xie Cang showed a look that was not a problem, and at the same time looked at Su Qi'an.
Su Qi'an naturally understood what Xie Cang meant, he nodded and said. "Since it is the rescue of the six princes, as a child of the royal family, how can there be no reason not to save it, Lord Gu, when will we leave."
"Haha, with the words of Dongshan Hou, Benzhou is relieved, this matter is not in a hurry, the war in Yuezhou has been fought for half a month, and the two sides have suffered damage to each other, and now they should be resting."
"If the Marquis of Dongshan doesn't give up, you can stay in Nanzhou for a few days, and Benzhou will hand over some information about the war in Yuezhou to you, just take advantage of these few days, you can get acquainted with it, and when the time comes, you will go to Yuezhou, and you will also have some confidence."
What Gu Hua said was reasonable, Su Qi'an nodded in agreement, and watched Su Qi'an take over this matter, the happiest person was Xie Cang, he laughed and laughed.
"Brother Su, you and I will say goodbye for three years, and then we will finally have the opportunity to fight side by side with Brother Su, and when the time comes, the two of us will definitely defeat the pirates of Yuezhou."
Su Qi'an smiled and agreed, compared to Xie Cang's happiness, Su Qi paid more attention to Gu Hua.
Don't look at Gu Hua with a sense of relief, but in the conversation with him, Su Qi'an obviously noticed this Nanzhou pastor, and his eyes revealed a little unusual.
It felt like he had something to say, and he wanted to say it to Su Qi'an, but it was hindered by Xie Cang's presence.
Su Qi'an, who echoed with a smile, said to Xie Cang beside him, "Brother Xie, it's been hard to escort you all the way, then you have a good rest, I have some things to talk to Master Gu, you also know that I just won Jiaozhou, and I am a little lacking in governing a state, Lord Gu still has experience in this area, so..."
Without waiting for Su Qi'an to finish speaking, Xie Cang got up, waved his hand very freely and said, "Harm, I thought that what was the matter, it was indeed in governing a state, and Brother Su still had to study hard with adults, so I wouldn't be involved, I was tired from running all the way, so I went down to rest first, and Brother Su also had to rest."
"Well, Brother Xie is leaving." Su Qi'an arched his hand, and under his gaze, Xie Cang left the small courtyard.
Not long after Xie Cang left, Gu Hua said with a smile, "In terms of observing words and feelings, Xie Cang is indeed inferior to Dongshan Hou."
"I'm just conforming to Lord Gu's thoughts and doing it with a gesture, I think Lord Gu is also protecting Brother Xie at this time."
"Okay, Brother Xie is gone, Master Gu has something to say. Just say."
Looking at the serious Su Qi'an, Gu Hua put down the teacup in his hand, changed his pleasant face just now, and said calmly, "I don't know what the Marquis of Dongshan thinks of this sixth prince?"
Gu Hua was able to ask this, Su Qi'an was not surprised, when it came to dealing, no one would know better than Gu Hua, the six princes in Yuezhou.
Gu Hua dared to mention this, already from a certain aspect, his loyalty to the court is not as loyal as it seems on the surface, more precisely, Gu Hua's loyalty is the current Emperor Daliang, as for the next one, who will be the Emperor of Daliang, this has to be questioned.
This problem is the rhythm that involves Su Qi'an in the competition between the princes.
I don't want to get involved, but sometimes I have to make some comments.
"The Sixth Prince is a calm man and is good to people, but unfortunately, it is only because his legs are missing, if he doesn't consider his body
In terms of being a good prince."
"Just a good prince?" Gu Hua looked at Su Qi'an and continued to ask.
Su Qi'an suddenly smiled and said, "Hehe, it's not a prince, what is it? Master Gu, I think it's best to point out some things, after all, trouble comes from the mouth, and it's not fun to start a fire."
Su Qi'an's words made Gu Hua stunned, and then laughed, this time there was no superficial effort in the past, but with a bit of frankness.
Drinking all the tea on the table, Gu Hua said, "No wonder Dongshan Hou was able to defeat Li Kang and take Jiaozhou, now Benzhou understands a little."
"Honshu can now be sure that you are not a confidant among the three princes, but want to be alone, which is somewhat similar to Honshu."
"This also makes this state not misunderstand you, and now this state can give you a thorough understanding."
Speaking of this, Gu Hua's voice suddenly lowered a lot, and then he said word by word, "Dongshan Hou, you have to be careful of the Six Princes!"
Su Qi'an's eyes flashed, his face did not change at all, and he spat out four words lightly, "How can you see it."
This time, Gu Hua didn't say it as bluntly as he did just now, with a bit of trickery, "When you go to Yuezhou and see the Six Princes, with your wisdom, you should be able to detect that about the Six Princes, Benzhou can only reveal so much to you, and the rest is only for you to explore."
Su Qi'an put this in his heart, and then changed the topic and said, "I will keep the six princes in mind, but compared to several princes, I want to know more, who are you, Lord Gu?"
This question made Gu Hua raise his eyebrows, with a somewhat playful gaze, and said, "Hehe, this question is interesting, after so many years, you dare to be so outspoken."
"Then Dongshan Hou thinks that what kind of person is Honshu?" Gu Hua asked rhetorically.
