After arriving in Nanzhou, the two-hour detailed discussion with Gu Hua made Su Qi'an feel a little at ease.

There is such a person in Nanzhou, at least Su Qi'an is not worried that after he leaves, Jiaozhou will be stabbed, it can be said that the two have a feeling of seeing each other late.

In the next few days, accompanied by Xie Cang, Su Qi'an traveled all over the state city and nearby counties.

The two of them did not travel with large-scale military protection, and only brought a dozen people.

As when I first came to Nanzhou, I saw the same, whether it is a state city or other local counties, the security in the city is relatively good.

Although in some aspects, such as road construction, or the lives of the people, it cannot be compared with Qingcheng County controlled by Su Qi'an.

But under the framework of the feudal system of Daliang, Nanzhou can at least ensure basic fairness, which is already very good.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if Nanzhou is distinguished separately, it is a miniature version of Da Liang, but this shrunken Da Liang is not declining, but thriving.

What Su Qi'an admires the most is that some of the children of the family he has seen in the past few days are all polite and extraordinary, even if there are some fun-loving gentlemen, they will definitely not be like the Kyoto magnates, rampant and domineering, no different from hooligans. Look at the book

These people give people a very vigorous spirit, and between their words, they have a kind of upward ambition and ideals, and some lofty ambitions.

It sounds a little unrealistic in some ways, but isn't that what the younger generation should be?

Compared with those intriguing gentlemen in Kyoto, the children of the family in Nanzhou are called the real family.

It can be said that the family of Nanzhou, among the states of Daliang, stands out from the crowd.

The reason why there are such outstanding children of the family in Nanzhou is inseparable from the example of the previous state pastors.

As the largest family in Nanzhou, the Gu family is also an official, so it can be said that the hard work of several generations has been put on the development of Nanzhou.

There are such a group of people who have worked hard for the development of Nanzhou, coupled with the remoteness of Nanzhou's geography, which is basically in a semi-closed state.

Moreover, these children of the Nanzhou family themselves have a considerable attachment to Nanzhou, and they don't care very much about going to Daliang Kyoto and going to Kyoto to be officials.

It is precisely because of this that a large number of young blood has been created to feed back to Nanzhou, and it is not unreasonable that Nanzhou can become the center of Nanzhou.

If it weren't for Su Qi'an's imminent departure for Yuezhou, Su Qi'an would have to stay in Nanzhou for a while.

Being able to stay with such a group of vibrant, idealistic and ambitious young talents, Su Qi'an couldn't ask for it.

Of course, through a few days of getting along, some good models in Nanzhou have made Su Qi'an pay attention, not to mention anything else, just how to cultivate local young talents, how to keep these people in the local area, I already have some ideas in Su Qi'an's mind.

After the end of the war in Yuezhou, he returned to Jiaozhou, and Su Qi'an would discuss with Huo Cheng, Huang Wenyan, and Wu Yong.

In any state, as long as the people in power have the heart, they will always find and cultivate talents, and only when there are many talents, can the state under its jurisdiction be truly developed.

Excavating, cultivating and retaining talents is the biggest gain of Su Qi'an's trip to Nanzhou.

In a flash, four or five days passed, and Yuezhou's urging letter arrived in Nanzhou.

Su Qi'an didn't say anything, and immediately set off with Xie Cang, who had been prepared a long time ago.

Only this time, they did not take the official road, but changed to take the waterway, in the territory of Nanzhou, there is a river leading directly to Yuezhou, after the construction of successive generations of Nanzhou herdsmen, the river has been built into a canal.

If you want to set off for Yuezhou as quickly as possible, there is no faster way to go than by water.

If you take the official road by land, it will take at least ten days and half a month to reach Yuezhou, and by water, it will only take five days at most to reach Yuezhou.

And this renovated canal is not far from Nanzhou City, only twenty or thirty miles.

After preparation, there were ten large transport ships parked on the canal, and the number of troops that set off this time was about 18,000 people.

There are 15,000 Split Mountain Army, more than 2,000 teams directly under Su Qi'an's headquarters, and the rest are miscellaneous subordinates.

Ten large transport boats, mightily parked on the riverside, can not be seen at a glance, looking very spectacular.

Although the overall combat strength of Daliang is not good, the internal economy is quite prosperous.

And because there are many rivers and rivers in the territory, the shipping industry is very developed, and the construction of large transport ships and fishing boats has basically formed a complete industrial chain in Daliang

It is precisely because of this that the strongest combat power of Daliang is not the land army, but the naval fleet.

The entire Daliang land army was about 450,000 people, and the navy fleet had about 200,000 people, more than half of whom were located in the two prefectures of Dong and Vietnam.

As long as you enter Yuezhou, you will find that sea transportation is very convenient and developed.

Therefore, this kind of large transport ship is very common in states near the sea, and if necessary, it can even be converted into a military ship for civilian use.

From this aspect, it is enough to see the strength of Daliang shipping.

Su Qi'an and Xie Cang boarded the boat with their troops, and on the shore, Gu Hua came with the officials of the state city to say goodbye.

The transport ship drove slowly, and under the gaze of Gu Hua and others, the ten large transport ships gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

With the departure of Su Qi'an and Xie Cang, a henchman standing behind Gu Hua said with some worry.

"My lord, is this Dongshan Marquis really that powerful, this time it's a pirate, not like a land war, if something happens, the six princes are afraid that they will be stabbed."

Gu Hua's face was calm, and he said softly, "Don't worry, Dongshan Hou is not so easy to plant, the hardships he has experienced along the way, the hardships he has experienced, are no worse than the six princes."

"Even if the Yuezhou pirates are defeated, it will not be so easy for the six princes to take the Dongshan Marquis."

"Dongshan Hou has a saying that is right, in the waning Da Liang, you have to let young people experience more, only this can have a guarantee in Da Liang, I have confidence in Dong Shanhou, let's wait and see."

On the other side, ten large transport ships, mighty down the river, the current is not turbulent, very stable, look at this speed, it is not possible to arrive in advance.

On both sides of the river, there are many mountains, and the movement of the transport boats makes people feel in a landscape painting.

Su Qi'an did not rest in the cabin, he stood on the deck, looking at the foggy mountain peaks in front of him.

It reminded Su Qi'an of Shixian's sentence "The light boat has passed over the Ten Thousand Mountains."

Only by going deep into it will you understand some poems more thoroughly.

Su Qi'an sighed a little, but quickly reined in his thoughts, this trip was not to play and cultivate sentiments, but to prepare for war.

According to the agreement, Yuezhou will send people to meet at the third stop along the way, that is, the border between the two states of South and Vietnam.

Now their fleet is almost at the first stop, and if it goes well, it will take a day or two at most to reach the third stop.

Su Qi'an's eyes flashed, thinking about something in his mind, a few days ago in Nanzhou, he usually had a drink with the children of the local family, and at other times, Su Qi'an had already begun to study Gu Hua and provide him with a military report about the war in Yuezhou.

Judging from the military reports, at the beginning, only small-scale pirates landed in Yuezhou.

For this small-scale pirate, the Yuezhou side is basically indifferent, after all, like this kind of small harassment, they have experienced too much, they have long been used to it, according to the past practice, it is estimated that they do not need to send troops to intervene, these pirates will evacuate on their own after a little robbery.

It was this habit that caused them to suffer a big loss and almost capsized in the gutter.

This so-called harassing small-scale pirate has another task, which is to serve as the vanguard reconnaissance, providing the landing coordinates of the tidal flat for the subsequent landing of large troops.

If the Yuezhou side reacted, it would withdraw immediately, but this time there was no reaction from Yuezhou, which directly led to this small-scale pirate immediately seizing the opportunity.

By the time the Yuezhou side reacted, the number of pirates who had landed ashore at this time had reached seven or eight thousand.

They were organized and targeted, and launched attacks against several weak counties in Viet Chau

。

By the time the Yuezhou soldiers sent troops to counterattack, three of the eight counties in Yuezhou had fallen into their hands, and by this time, the scale of the pirates who had landed had approached 40,000.

Looking at the 40,000 pirates who landed ashore at once, everyone understood that the real purpose of this group of pirates was to take advantage of their unpreparedness to expand the results of the war and want to encroach on Yuezhou.

In order to recapture the occupied three counties, fierce battles broke out between the two sides, and the Yuezhou army recaptured one county from the pirates after paying 10,000 casualties, and the pirates' losses were not small, with five or six thousand casualties.

The remaining pirates, holding on to the two counties they occupied, did not take the initiative to attack, but silently defended.

After the previous fierce battle, the Yuezhou soldiers suffered a lot of losses, and even if they continued to attack, they would not be able to take the two counties held by the pirates in a short time.

The defense of these two counties itself is to guard against pirates, the city is high and the walls are thick, plus this group of pirates, desperately defending, the Yuezhou soldiers rushed several waves, but they failed to take it.

As a result, the two sides formed a stalemate stage, and basically they could not help each other.

This stalemate, for a long time, is very unfavorable to the Yuezhou soldiers, and they must be completely consolidated, they can use these two counties as landing bridgeheads, and the pirates of Black Wind Island behind can land wantonly without scruples.

The reason why the pirates of Black Wind Island did not arrive in time was because they were now attacking Dongzhou.

Originally, according to the plan, 70,000 pirates, as usual, divided their troops into two routes and attacked the two states of Dong and Vietnam.

It is said to be an attack, but in fact it is to fight the autumn wind, loot, if you see that things are unfavorable, leave and retreat, if you don't find it, you can immediately switch and expand the results of the battle.

These pirates didn't expect that the results of this expansion would be so huge.

The defense of the Yuezhou soldiers was too loose, and they directly captured the three counties in one go.

Fortunately, the Yuezhou soldiers realized the seriousness of the situation, quickly gathered troops to counterattack, and after the two sides clashed, they were barely taken away.

But they didn't lose, relying on the two counties in their hands, and formed a stalemate with the Yuezhou soldiers.

There was good news from their side, but the Dongzhou side was frustrated in the attack, not only could not return for reinforcements, but was entangled by the Dongzhou soldiers.

But this is not a blow to the pirates, they know that being entangled is only temporary, as long as they can hold on, and wait for the Dongzhou pirates to come to their aid, maybe in Yuezhou, they can get greater results.
