Chapter 446: Return to Xizhou
Just kidding, with such a great opportunity right now, how could they miss it. ap.
Hurriedly followed, they wanted to see what kind of surprise this Dongshan Hou would bring to them next.
At this time, on the road to Chencang County, tens of thousands of troops gathered were marching together.
This operation, in addition to Su Qi'an's three main divisions, plus Xie Cang's 10,000 Split Mountain Army, and the 30,000 troops of the Priest Alliance.
Leave 20,000 to supervise the barbarians who put down their weapons, after all, the number of barbarians who surrendered is there.
It is impossible to leave no manpower at all, leaving behind the relatively weak indigenous army, and there will not be any big chaos.
This time, a total of 60,000 troops, divided into multiple routes, marched towards Chencang County in the north.
Their speed was very fast, and from a distance, they looked like several dragons with no end in sight, black and oppressive, and there was no end in sight.
In addition to the 60,000 troops on this march, the nearby counties along the way had already recruited the people, and they took the lead to transport grain in advance.
Looking at it all the way, the scene was quite spectacular, and the big chieftain who set off with him looked all the way, and there was only a deep shock on his face.
With such scale and efficiency, where is there a little rush, it seems that it has been prepared for a long time.
At this time, send troops, gather a large army, go directly north, set off from Chencang, and invade Xizhou.
Su Qi'an did this, which can be said to be quite public, and it is impossible not to know about the precautions of Xizhou.
But Su Qi'an still did this with only one purpose.
"Surround the barren county, save the land."
For a moment, the thought rose in the Great Chief's heart.
Only this can explain why Su Qi'an would gather such a large army to go north.
It can even be said that as early as a month ago, before the battle in Xiacang began, Su Qi'an already had the foresight to counterattack Xizhou from Chencang in the north.
"If that's the case, then this Dongshan Marquis is not simple." The Great Chief thought to himself.
At this moment, the voice of the two elders suddenly sounded in his ears, and the two elders came to his side at some point.
"Hehe, it's too early to be shocked, if I tell you, Mr. Su's idea was already planning before he left Xizhou, old and immortal, will you drop your jaw in shock."
The big chief's face was stunned, obviously frightened by the words of the two elders, and left Xizhou, which was three years ago.
Today, three years after planning three years ago, this is not too long-term thinking, and it gives people a whimsical feeling.
"Old immortal, let me ask you, what kind of person is this Dongshan Marquis." The Great Chief spoke suddenly.
The two elders pretended to smile mysteriously and said softly, "Mr. Su, he is quite a remarkable person."
This kind of ambiguous answer, the big chief was obviously not very satisfied, he just wanted to continue to ask, only to see the two elders smile and say with a little admiration.
"Old immortal, Mr. Su is a person, you will know later, of course, Mr. Su is very godly, but he is not so godly, the plan three years ago is indeed today."
"As for these things that happened today, whether it is you or me, in Mr. Su's heart, it is not important, we can only be regarded as a small episode in Mr. Su's plan."
"I can only say that Xizhou Mu Tang Feng, offending Mr. is the most wrong decision he has made in his life, take a good look, this battle, Tang Feng will lose."
The Great Chief's eyes flashed, and he thoughtfully digested the words of the two elders, and finally watched the two elders leave.
After the huge team drove so quickly, it only took less than an hour to arrive at the northern border of Jiaozhou, the military town of Chencang County.
At this time, the county town of Chencang had long been prepared to cross the north and go deep into the barren county, and now it was only waiting for Su Qi'an's order.
Su Qi'an stood in front of the mighty army, looking around the state, looking at the many soldiers who were ready to go.
He didn't bother to say much, but simply said, "Everyone, three years of preparation is only for today
, cross the barren county, and fight back to Xizhou."
"Cross the wilderness and fight back to Xizhou!"
The overwhelming voices suddenly gathered together, and then, under the command of Su Qi'an, the whole army, according to the queue, marched towards the reckless county in front.
The Ming Xiu plank road a month ago played a role at this time.
Those rugged and uneven mountain roads and broken plank roads were repaired quickly and at an astonishing speed under the operation of the vanguard engineering troops.
A month ago, it was ridiculed, it was destroyed, it was destroyed, it was built, it was built and destroyed, and now the matter of building a plank road has long been in the mind of every sapper, and it is called a skill.
Even every bit of damage, they clearly remembered that under this kind of practice makes perfect, the mighty army walked through the repaired plank road and marched towards the barren county.
This time, the strange thing is that the Xizhou soldiers on the opposite side did not mean to stop it.
It seems that the passes on the opposite side, the levels, are all decorations, and there is no one.
Of course, this is not the kindness of the Xizhou soldiers, and they acquiesced in Su Qi'an's entry into the territory of Xizhou.
But when Xie Cang and Chen Zhi sneaked into the opposite barren county with their respective troops before, they had already killed all the people who stayed behind on the defensive.
Those who didn't kill were also replaced by the local county order with their own people.
This is also the reason why Su Qi'an will say that in the barren county, there are their own people.
There are seven counties under Manghuang County, and there are three counties responsible for defending Chencang County.
And it was precisely these three counties that were more or less favored by Su Qi'an before Su Qi'an was driven out of Xizhou.
At that time, Su Ji Commercial Bank was very large in Xizhou, and it was not an exaggeration to occupy half of the Xizhou shop business.
The county guard and county commander of Xizhou had a relationship with Su Qi'an at that time.
But as the old saying goes, adversity sees the truth, after the Xizhou Incident and the destruction of Su Ji Commercial Bank, those who really extended a helping hand to Su Qi'an were except for Lingdong County Ling Zhou Qi.
In the three county orders of Manghuang County, which borders Jiaozhou, Su Qi'an was able to escape from Manghuang, and these three county orders made great efforts.
It's just that these three people, unlike Zhou Qi, are very cautious, and they basically can't catch any tricks when they help Su Qi'an.
If it weren't for Su Qi'an, on the eve of successfully leaving Manghuang County and entering Jiaozhou, these three people secretly sent someone to contact him.
Su Qi'an suddenly realized, no wonder he was able to leave the wilderness so smoothly, these three people helped a lot.
With this connection, Su Qi'an, who entered Jiaozhou, had the plan three years ago.
Of course, except for Su Qi'an, no one else knew about this, even if it was a henchman around him, Su Qi'an didn't tell him, as a top secret, this was done to protect their safety, and it was also to return to Xizhou's last hole card.
This matter was concealed for three years, and it was not until Su Qi'an felt that the time was ripe and planned to secretly Chen Cang, so he informed Xie Cang and Chen Dao of this matter.
When the two of them heard this, they were both surprised and excited, with such a hidden hole card, they entered the wilderness, and it really didn't take much effort.
Now, they can also understand Su Qi'an's decision.
As the two of them secretly Chen Cang, everything went as planned, they almost encountered any obstacles, entered the Reckless County, and did not alarm the Reckless County Guard, under the cover of the cooperation of the three county commanders.
The 20,000 soldiers who were assembled, under the nose of the Manghuang County Guard, quietly circled the rear and cut off the back road of the barbarian Heilu, which provided strong support for the surrender of the barbarian Heilu.
With such an internal response, Xie Cang and Chen Zhi did not let go of this good opportunity, and before leaving, they left the receiving troops in advance, took over the defense on the opposite side, and responded to their follow-up counterattack on Xizhou.
Therefore, on the other side now, all the passes and checkpoints are all their own people.
This time, when the army entered Xizhou, there was no need to sneak around like last time, but to storm the barren county in a bright and bright way.
The arrival of the 60,000 army can be regarded as a relief to the three county commanders who silently supported and helped Su Qi'an.
Back then, their kindness, in addition to being a reward, they ate the dividends of Su Ji Commercial Bank and received favors, but also because they were quite dissatisfied with Tang Feng's domineering and domineering.
In the Xizhou Incident that year, many people died, at least more than 1,000.
These people were all innocent people, or businessmen, but under Tang Feng's arbitrariness, all of them died in the events of that year.
Su Qi'an's escape made them have a little sympathy, so they took the risk to help.
It was this one that not only allowed Su Qi'an to successfully escape, but also led his army of 60,000 to counterattack Xizhou and make a comeback in just three years.
Looking at the mighty army, the eyes of the three county commanders widened.
Who would have thought that three years ago, Dongshanhou, who fled in embarrassment and was crushed like a dog, only took three years to return strongly.
This made the three county commanders unable to calm down for a long time, and they knew that the next Xizhou was afraid that the sky was going to change.
But when I turned my head and thought about it, Xizhou, which was controlled by Tang Feng with a high-pressure policy, also changed the sky.
At this time, hundreds of miles away, a great battle broke out on a desolate ground in the west.
Xizhou Mu Tangfeng, with 30,000 Xizhou soldiers and 20,000 private soldiers, is making every effort to storm the rear clan land of the barbarian Heilu.
After all, it was a good opportunity that Tang Xiao had won, and Tang Feng couldn't let it go.
Under his all-out onslaught, about seventy percent of the barbarian tribe's land on the scale of the boundary of the two counties fell into his hands, and according to the current situation, it is estimated that it will not take an hour to take the clan land.
Take this piece, haunting the heart disease that has threatened him for many years.
Tang Feng's gaze retracted from the fierce battle that broke out on the front line, turned his head, and asked his henchmen beside him.
"Is there any news of the world?"
The henchman shook his head, Tang Feng sighed, his face was calm, although he had some worries in his heart, but with his understanding of Tang Xiao and the retreat route planned in advance, there should be no accidents.
"Maybe it's been delayed." Tang Feng was so relieved in his heart.
After a while, a soldier came running in the distance, it was a messenger who was specially responsible for contacting Tang Xiao.
The messenger didn't say anything, and hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Tang Feng.
Tang Feng opened the envelope, his eyes scanned, the next moment, his indifferent face was instantly solemn, if you look carefully, on his forehead, there are faint green tendons, and the fingers holding the envelope are instantly clenched.
