Su Qi'an's conditions made Xiang Yan stunned, where is this condition, it is completely to seize his power.

If Su Qi'an proposed to command the military power in chief before, in order to suppress him, it was a kind of dismounting, then this time it was to completely elevate him and make him the commander of the light pole, and even he had to obey Su Qi'an's command, which was really humiliating.

Even if Xiang Yan had a handle on Su Qi'an's body, it would be absolutely impossible to agree to this excessive request.

Xiang Yan, who came back to his senses, completely dissipated the softness in his eyes, and was replaced by Sen Sen's coldness.

He stared at Su Qi'an coldly and said, "Su Hou, your condition is too much, if it weren't for the fact that you are a child of the royal family, this official will definitely take you down."

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue, the children of the royal family, the official respects and is equally loyal to the Daliang royal family, but in my Daliang Dynasty, when has there been a law that stipulates that the children of the royal family can seize local military power for no reason!"

"Su Hou, if you do this, this official suspects that you are disobedient."

Xiang Yan said with great confidence, and he was not afraid of Su Qi'an's threat to him.

Although Liang Kun was a fool, because of his own reasons, he had a handle in the hands of Su Qi'an, and he was coerced.

But this is definitely not a reason why Su Qi'an can easily snatch his military power, elevate him, and occupy Yuezhou.

If it could be so simple, the state lieutenant who held the military power would have been in chaos for a long time.

Such a simple trick can be done, where is the turn of Su Qi'an, Su Kang, the king of Yue, has already done it.

has been in Yuezhou for more than ten years, even Su Kang has never fought him, just relying on this outsider, but for more than ten days, he wants to seize his power, don't joke.

Xiang Yan's face changed suddenly, Su Qi'an's face was calm, he shook his head and said, "I think Lord Xiang is afraid that he misunderstood what Ben Hou meant, Ben Hou is not taking away your military power and setting you up."

"I'm sorry, Ben Hou of Yuezhou is not interested, Ben Hou was invited here just to calm the war in Yuezhou."

"Obtaining the position of commander-in-chief of Yuezhou is just to better command the troops of Yuezhou, and when the war is over, this military power will naturally be handed over to Lord Xiang."

"And to rectify the Yuezhou officialdom, I think you yourself know that even if Ben Hou doesn't do it, when the Yuezhou war is over, there will always be a cleanup."

"Clean up early, at least the adults can still have a little bit of the initiative."

"Hmph, what Su Hou said is so righteous and awe-inspiring, are you really a three-year-old child as an official?" Xiang Yan sneered.

Su Qi'an's explanation, Xiang Yan didn't believe it at all, they were all high-level people in important positions, who was not an old fox who could get to this position.

really believes in Su Qi'an's words, once the power is handed over, there is a few percent chance of getting the power back afterwards.

Human nature is greedy, and who will remain calm in the face of the power in charge of a state?

Su Qi'an said that the three-year-old child is about the same.

Xiang Yan's distrust, Su Qi'an didn't care, he looked into the distance, looked at the Yuezhou soldiers gathered behind him, and said softly.

"Lord Xiang believes it or not, follow your lordship, remind your lord, no matter whether the Yuezhou war succeeds or fails, it has nothing to do with Benhou, Benhou can leave and return to Jiaozhou."

"But what about you, Lord Xiang? can be withdrawn lightly, not to mention anything else, the Yuezhou Navy Division has been wiped out, and the troops in Lord Xiang's hands should only be 30,000."

"From the initial 50,000 troops, in a month's time, the loss of about forty percent, with the tens of thousands of remaining Yuezhou soldiers under your command, ask yourself, are you the opponent of this group of menacing pirates?"

Su Qi'an's words can be regarded as hitting the bottom of Xiang Yan's heart, before Su Qi'an's future, his 50,000 Yuezhou soldiers, because of negligence in defense, lost 10,000 in the fierce battle with pirates, and only then did they maintain the stalemate between the two sides.

I wanted to fight back, but the heavens didn't fulfill people's wishes, just five days ago, the pirates who had been sticking to the first and second counties learned the news from somewhere and knew where the sailors were docked.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he was directly caught off guard, and dispatched 20,000 pirates in one go, leaving only 10,000 to defend.

Although Xiang Yan quickly deployed troops to support the counterattack, but in the end, after the battle,

Of the 10,000 sailors and soldiers, there were heavy casualties, and less than 1,000 survived.

Of the twenty ships, ten were burned and eight were scuttled, and only two survived, mainly because they were placed in the shipyard for repair, and were not dispatched with the sailors.

In this battle, the pirates also suffered 10,000 casualties, but it was worth the casualties to be able to defeat the Yuezhou Naval Division.

The result of the defeat of the Yuezhou Naval Division was that Xiang Yan's army could not patrol along the river as before, and could only retreat to seven and eight counties to defend Yuezhou City.

Without the help of the sailors, the pirates who stuck to the two counties no longer had to worry about the Yuezhou sailors attacking from the waterway, encircling them and cutting off the back route.

It can be said that the fiasco of the sailor division undoubtedly broke Xiang Yan's arm, and this kind of demoralizing thing, Xiang Yan naturally strictly guarded it and forbade it to spread it.

But I didn't expect Su Qi'an to know.

Xiang Yan didn't want to admit it, but the fact was just as Su Qi'an expected, without the help of the water master, Xiang Yan didn't know how long the 30,000 Yuezhou soldiers in his hands could resist.

Once Yuezhou is lost, it is not simply accountability, but the loss of people.

Therefore, in order to make up for the loss, Xiang Yan originally wanted to recruit ships manufactured by Liang Kun's private shipyard to make up for the shortfall.

Although civilian ships and military ships are two different concepts, nowadays there is not enough time, and it is simply impossible to build them on a large scale.

Xiang Yan didn't expect that this kind of private shipyard doing business with pirates would be able to play a role one day.

According to Xiang Yan's plan, when the ships collected are enough, it should not be a problem to fight a counterattack with the help of the Split Mountain Army brought by Su Qi'an and Xie Cang.

When the war is over, the private shipyard will be shut down immediately, which would have been quiet and sneaky, but the people below are too wasteful.

Forget about catching Zhuang Ding, he actually caught Su Qi'an's head, and he made such a big fuss.

In order to protect his own interest group, Xiang Yan could only abandon Liang Kun.

But Su Qi'an didn't give up, and directly poked out his sore spots, even if he was dissatisfied with Su Qi'an and angry, but if Su Qi'an and Xie Cang really left.

In this battle, he is likely to lose, and he will lose his life by then.

But if he really handed over the military power, who can guarantee that this Dongshan Marquis will not secretly kill him by mobilizing his troops.

It's also possible, and either way, he has to worry about his life.

Just as Xiang Yan was uncertain, Su Qi'an's voice sounded in his ears.

"Lord Xiang, Ben Hou has time for you to consider, but there is not much time left for you, how to make a decision, my lord, you can do it yourself."

Xiang Yan raised his head, where was there Su Qi'an's figure in front of him, not to mention Su Qi'an, even Su Kang, the Sixth Highness, was not there, and went away with Su Qi'an.

Under the escort of a group of guards, Su Qi'an, Xie Cang, and Su Kang left the burned shipyard and headed towards Shuixiang City.

Su Qi'an returned this time, he had already taken a good look at the location, and he lived in Shuixiang City, just taking advantage of his free time to instantly rectify and rectify the officials in Shuixiang County.

Su Kang and Su Qi'an walked together, and the two talked along the way.

Su Kang was very sympathetic to Su Qi'an's plight, and said apologetically, "I didn't expect Su Hou to encounter this incident in Water Township City, it was the king's negligence, since Su Hou wants to renovate the Water Township City, this king will definitely give full support, and during the rectification period, there will definitely be no officials interfering."

Su Qi'an nodded and said with a smile, "Then thank you His Royal Highness King Yue."

Su Kang waved his hand, and then said, "Su Hou, the matter of Water Town City is a trivial matter, but you asked Xiang Yan so bluntly just now for military power, judging by his appearance, he will not agree."

"You also know that the Yuezhou Navy Division has been wiped out, and now the situation in Yuezhou is precarious, if the Split Mountain Army does not move, Yuezhou is afraid that it will be really dangerous."

Su Kang's worries are not unreasonable, originally the strength of the army had the upper hand, but after the two wars, the advantage of the force was basically gone, and the only thing that could be relied on was the city defense.

But this group of pirates is very strong, and in the many years of fighting with the Yuezhou soldiers, their strength should not be underestimated, and what Su Kang is most worried about now is the Dongzhou soldiers

If you can't hold back the invading pirates.

When they return to help and join the Yuezhou pirates, at that time, I am afraid that it will be the end of Yuezhou.

He invited Su Qi'an, naturally because he didn't want to see Su Qi'an leave, but Xiang Yan suppressed him to death, causing Su Qi'an to be angry for many days.

Even if he really left, he would have a clear conscience, Su Kang's face was full of worry, and then he sighed and said softly.

"Hey, this is also to blame for this king, he has no ability to help Su Hou, he can't even fight Xiang Yan, the reminder given by Su Hou earlier didn't pay attention to it, and when he reacted, it was too late, this may be Yuezhou's fate."

Su Kang's face was full of sadness, this was the first time Su Qi'an had seen the six princes who had lost confidence so much.

When he was in Kyoto, the Six Princes were not like this, "Maybe it's because the war in Yuezhou is not going well." Su Qi'an thought so in his heart.

Looking at Su Kang, who had a sad face and kept sighing, Su Qi'an was relieved, "Your Highness the Sixth doesn't have to be so unconfident, I believe Xiang Yan will make the right decision."

"Even if Xiang Yan insists on it, Su will not leave Yuezhou, since he is invited here, he will definitely help the Sixth Highness, but it will be more troublesome, but at that time, he may need the help of the Sixth Highness."

Su Qi'an's words gave Su Kang some relief, he looked up at Su Qi'an, and said seriously, "With Su Hou's words, this king has much more confidence."

"Please rest assured that this king will definitely let Xiang Yan hand over his military power, and he will definitely give Su Hou a satisfactory answer."

Now Su Kang, where is the sad face just now, his eyes flashing with light.

Su Qi'an's words just now were like letting him grab a life-saving straw and let him see hope.

After talking all the way, Su Qi'an returned to Shuixiang City, and after a simple farewell to Su Qi'an, Su Kang took his men and returned to Yuezhou City in a hurry.

It seems that it is to prepare for Su Qi'an to obtain the commander-in-chief of Yuezhou.

This kind of waiting did not last long, about three or four days, news came out of Yuezhou City.

The supreme command of the Yuezhou war was handed over to Su Qi'an, the Marquis of Dongshan, and all the soldiers and soldiers in Yuezhou, large and small, must obey Su Qi'an's orders before the end of the war, and if there is any violation, they will be immediately beheaded.
