The reckless county town was taken, and everyone slowly entered the city by Su Qi'an's side.

As soon as I entered the city, I saw the reckless county guard who was still menacing just now, handcuffed and taken to the prisoner car.

Around the street, there were countless people, holding stones, and smashing them towards the barren county guard.

The guards of the reckless county screamed, their heads broke and their blood flowed, and the prisoner car drove slowly and cooperatively.

The reckless county guarded the angry scolding, but the only thing that could respond to him was more ferocious stones and overwhelming scolding.

These people are all local people in Mangbarren County, and everyone's face is full of resentment.

Looking at the gaze of the reckless county guard, I can't wait to eat its flesh and gnaw its skin.

Tang Feng's high-pressure rule, they can't see it, it's too far away from them, in front of them, there is only the reckless county guard from above.

It can be said that the reckless county guard is their heaven and the master of the reckless county.

Tang Feng's high-pressure rule over the subordinate county guards and county orders, and the county guards and county orders oppressed and deprived these low-level people in a more brutal way.

Not to mention anything else, look at these people, all of them are yellow-skinned and skinny, as if a gust of wind can blow them away.

Every time they threw stones, they gasped for breath, but even so, they still couldn't relieve their anger.

In the past three years, they have lived a good life, which is called a miserable and inhumane.

Three years ago, Tang Feng was not under such high pressure, and their lives were barely fed.

But with Tang Feng's various tax orders issued one after another, through the county guard and county orders, the taxes around them were at least ten times more than three years ago.

In the end, they couldn't even afford to eat rotten vegetables and rotten eggs, so they had to go to the suburbs to gnaw on tree bark.

That's why, they can only use stones to vent their dissatisfaction, and the rotten vegetable leaves that were regarded as garbage back then are now good things that cannot be found.

The people at the bottom lived so hard in order to support the sharp increase in soldiers in Tang Feng's hands.

Among the seven counties in the wilderness, they also took the initiative to surrender to Su Qi'an's three county orders, which were slightly better to the people in their respective counties, and the people of the other four counties were miserable.

These county orders, county guards, since Tang Feng opened the mouth for taxation, they are like opening the door, and all kinds of new taxes are increasing.

The people at the bottom can only eat tree bark, and some officials such as the county guard are reckless, and every day is called a nourishment.

It stands to reason that under such high pressure, you can't wait for Su Qi'an to counterattack, and all parts of Xizhou will ***.

But in fact, this kind of *** is rare, not because the local people don't want to resist.

These officials and masters, although they enjoy it, they are not stupid, in addition to themselves, they will leave some soup and water for their soldiers.

In their opinion, as long as the soldiers under them do not have ***, these untouchables at the bottom are nothing.

Although this strategy is vicious, it is effective, and in today's Xizhou, if you can provide yourself with people who are well fed and drunk, your soldiers will naturally not have any objections.

On the contrary, they worked harder and suppressed these troublesome low-level untouchables in a more high-pressure way.

Although there are many people at the bottom, they don't have a little bit in their hands, and in the face of well-equipped soldiers, as long as they see blood, they will make a large group of people retreat.

Fortunately, this kind of difficult days, with the arrival of Su Qi'an, completely changed the situation.

This is also the reason why Su Qi'an's army was basically able to take the reckless county without too much effort.

Su Qi'an left Xizhou for three years, and the time is not long, but the impact in Xizhou is huge.

Tang Feng's three-year high-pressure rule, on the surface, everything about Su Qi'an disappeared in Xizhou, but with his return, some news about Su Qi'an spread as quickly as the wind.

They always remembered how much favor they received from Su Ji Commercial Bank, which was in full swing in Xizhou back then.

Therefore, knowing that this army belongs to Su Qi'an, it is even more welcome.

And before Su Qi'an entered the city, he ordered his army to take out a part of the grain and grass in Manghuang County

In seven counties, porridge sheds were opened, and granaries in each county were directly opened to provide grain.

This move captured more than seventy or eighty percent of the hearts of the people of the barren county at once.

Su Qi'an is so generous, mainly because he has his own confidence.

This time he went north to enter Xizhou, and Su Qi'an had already prepared the logistics supply of the 60,000 army.

It can be said that when I left Jiaozhou and went to Nanzhou, I began to prepare.

At least two months, this time I returned to Jiaozhou, and basically did not suffer much loss in the battle with the barbarian Heilu, which can be regarded as a logistics exercise.

Now going north and entering Xizhou, in order to deal with the logistics line, it is too long, Su Qi'an concentrates the logistics in Yangliu County and Chencang County.

Now after taking Mangbarren County, Su Qi'an plans to further extend the logistics line to Mangbarren County.

In this way, it is basically no problem to gather the grain and grass of the entire Jiaozhou, and maintain the 60,000 army into Xizhou with the advantage of the three counties.

Of course, for the logistics of the newly opened Manghuang County, Su Qi'an will definitely send heavy troops to guard it.

It was not Tang Feng who sent people to sneak attack or anything, but some local ruffians with ill intentions.

Su Qi'an's opening of the warehouse to provide grain and open a porridge shed was to force these people out.

He remembers an old saying, "Rise to the top, fight the enemy."

Now that it is wartime, we can use goodwill to buy the hearts of the people, but at the same time, we must also appropriately release some deterrence.

In this way, the combination of grace and power will deter some young people.

In order to ensure the safety of the three counties that provided logistics, Su Qi'an deliberately transferred Huo Cheng, Huang Wenyan, and Wu Yong.

Under the control of the three of them, Su Qi'an is also relieved in logistics.

Next, you can rest well in the barren county, ready for a full-scale counterattack at any time.

As for the reckless county guard who was smashed and had no temper and almost only one breath left.

Su Qi'an motioned to the soldiers in charge and took him away.

A person like him, although he deserves to die, but dying at the moment is cheap for him, leaving him a breath, he will still be of great use in the future, and he will have to perform at the follow-up public trial.

It can be said that after taking the reckless county, the governance and arrangement of the reckless county city have already appeared in his mind, and then, he only needs to do it according to his plan.

The 60,000-strong army was not all stationed in the barren county town, but was distributed in the seven subordinate counties.

In this way, the control of the barren county can be guaranteed, and if there is any chaos in the subordinate counties, the soldiers stationed in the local area can easily solve it.

After Su Qi'an gave the order, the Jiaozhou army began to get busy.

And follow the expedition all the way, as a spectator of the big chief and other six people.

Their faces are deeply complicated, whether it is the speed of entering the wilderness, or the people who welcome them in the middle of the road, and now the opening of porridge sheds and the opening of warehouses to release grain.

all made them realize that this Dongshan Marquis was not simple, he was able to take Jiaozhou and let many officials obey his orders, and now they can understand it to some extent.

Not to mention anything else, Su Qi'an's siege of Wei to save Zhao, although it failed to resolve the crisis of the clan land, it gave the clan land hope to take a breath.

To be honest, if they were Su Qi'an, they could use the matter of the clan land to coerce them to be cannon fodder.

Or, you don't have to interfere at all, just sit back and wait for the clan land to be destroyed, take the reckless county, and just stick to it.

But Su Qi'an didn't do this, his series of actions, not only for them, but also for the local people, even if it was a performance, it was impossible for any other official, even Tang Feng, the pastor of a state, to do this.

These local people, in Tang Feng's eyes, are a group of lowly untouchables, worthless, but Su Qi'an's path is diametrically opposed to theirs.

Looking at the peaceful coexistence between the Jiaozhou soldiers and the local people, they can also understand the truth that the two elders said to them before, "Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat".

Now they already have different emotional changes in their hearts towards Su Qi'an...

At this time, Su Qi'an was not in the barren county mansion, but standing on the city tower.

Generals like Su Yong, Er Meng, Chen Dao, Song Biao and others who are familiar with each other are not by his side.

Even Tong Zhan and other directly subordinate teams were also transferred to do front-line reconnaissance, and they stayed by his side, only the team of more than a dozen people led by Wang Yan.

A gust of wind blew, Wang Yan's figure appeared, Su Qi'an turned his head, and before he could speak, Wang Yan shook his head and said.

"I'm sorry, under our investigation, we have not found any information about your family's whereabouts, and even the Lingdong County Commander disappeared a month ago."

As soon as these words came out, although Su Qi'an had been prepared for a long time, his heart still couldn't help but tremble.

When he fled Xizhou, he originally left with Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan.

But in the end, the two refused, and the reason they gave was very simple, Su Ji Trading House was destroyed in that battle, and many friends and brothers died.

Let them leave like this, they can't do it, Su Ji Commercial Bank was built by them, and it was ruined like this, they are unwilling.

And they stayed, although it was dangerous, but at least they could leave Su Qi'an a dark line in Xizhou.

When Su Qi'an returns to Xizhou, it can also be of great help.

At their insistence, Su Qi'an finally agreed, and in the three years since he left Xizhou, Su Qi'an has always received news from Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan.

Including the fact that they later re-rooted in the local counties and towns, and opened the Wanggui Cloth Store.

The intelligence point that was destroyed because of Su Ji Commercial Bank at the beginning also began to be re-established, and everything seemed to be developing from a good side.

Until half a year ago, Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan reduced their contact with Su Qi'an in order to ensure their safety, and later, for unknown reasons, they took the initiative to cut off contact.

Returning to Xizhou this time, in addition to seeking justice for the victims of the year and himself, the more important thing is to know the situation of Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan.

At the same time as entering Manghuang County, Su Qi'an sent Wang Yan to take his team to investigate.

didn't expect that in the end, it would be such a result, Qin Ziyin, Lu Xiaowan, Qin Huai and other important relatives disappeared again, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

How can this make Su Qi'an acceptable.
