The second commander stepped into the main tent and did not say anything, but stood aside without saying a word.

The Grand Commander standing in the middle of the sand table, although he lowered his head, he still noticed the strangeness of the Second Commander.

After a brief silence, the Grand Commander said coldly, "Okay, you guys should step back first, there is something to summon you."

The people in the main tent nodded, and then left one after another, and as there were only two people left in the big tent, the grand commander still lowered his head and said softly.

"Dick, what's wrong? Didn't you ask you to take 500 people to Zhenshan City to negotiate? So fast? What does the Zhenshan County Order say?"

The second commander stepped forward, without hesitation, 1510 told all the things he had encountered, and at the same time, took out a letter from his bosom.

The Grand Commander looked away from the sand table and looked at the letter in his hand, his indifferent face was a little surprised.

looked at the second commander and said in a low voice, "Second brother, these caravans are from the Yuwang Mansion?"

The second commander nodded solemnly and said, "Big brother, I don't believe in this, but Zhao County Ling definitely doesn't dare to deceive our Beishan Camp, let alone forge the letter of the Yu Wangfu and give him hundreds of guts, it's impossible."

"This time we encountered a hard stubble, originally this matter was intended to be a big thing and a small one, but eldest brother, Yu Wangfu did this, obviously deliberately covering up, and without saying a word, he let Zhao County order to release people, and also locked up our brothers."

"This is completely a demonstration against the Beishan camp, I can't swallow this breath, if we don't do something, when the time comes, Zhongzhou, who will obey us, I'm afraid they all think that the Beishan camp is easy to bully."

The words of the second commander are impossible to say that there is no gambling component.

The Grand Commander can also understand that if the Yu Wangfu did not intervene in this matter, what they encountered was just an ordinary caravan, and the Grand Commander would definitely not take it seriously.

But this time, how could it be so coincidental that he ran into someone from the Yuwang Mansion, and he was still at the juncture of Su Qi'an's entry into Zhongzhou, which was difficult not to make the commander think of something.

For this King of Yu, the general knows a little, basically can't see others all the year round, most of the time in his own fiefdom, likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, doesn't care about the government, and doesn't have much intersection with local officials.

is such an idle prince, how could he have a conflict with their people at this time?

Whether it was an accident or a deliberate arrangement, it's hard to say, but the Grand Commander can assure you that if they let this matter go, they will definitely miss some unknown secrets.

In addition to being the commander of the Kitayama Battalion, they are also tasked with exploring Zhongzhou and delivering important intelligence clues to the two princes of Kyoto City.

The land of Zhongzhou has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and today's Daliang is no more prosperous than when the country was first founded.

In the midst of increasing decay, the exploration of such strategic locations is particularly important.

It is also important not only to gain a foothold in Zhongzhou and have its own power, but more importantly, to explore the major officials and families in Zhongzhou, how they plan to stand in line, and what their thoughts are.

Although the Grand Commander and the Second Commander belong to different camps, before the two princes actually go to war, sometimes they can still cooperate with each other.

If the two don't cooperate, but instead target each other and fight, it won't be cheaper for the three commanders.

The three commanders are local factions in Zhongzhou, and the manpower arranged by the Zhongzhou pastor, and the three commanders are in the Beishan camp, and their prestige is not weak.

The two of them fought and let the three commanders pick up the bargain in the back, they wouldn't be stupid enough to do it.

Therefore, it is precisely because the three parties calculate and use each other that they can barely reach a balance in the Beishan camp temporarily.

The Grand Commander was not a hesitant person, he thought for a while, and gave an order very decisively.

"Disperse our men at once, and find this caravan, no matter what the cost."

"Remember, once you find a trace, don't rush forward, follow silently behind until they enter Beishan County, and then we won't let us handle it."

"Don't worry, big brother, before I come back, I will scatter the manpower, and according to their rush time, they will enter Beishan County in five days at most."

"By the way, big brother, our operation this time is likely to let the third child know, if there is no suitable reason, I am afraid that there will be suspicions."

The Grand Commander smiled coldly and said softly, "Regarding this, I have long thought about it, isn't there a bandit in Beishan County these days, and it just so happens that I am going to lead troops to quell the rebellion."

"And you, after I leave, will give you an order, let you lead the troops to change the guard, wait until you leave the sight of the third child, and join me as soon as possible, as for the third child, stay here, waiting for the news of our victory in "suppressing bandits"."

"Haha, it's still the eldest brother who will arrange it, the eldest brother's plan is clever." The second commander patted the sycophants on the side.

"Okay, time waits for no one, act immediately, don't let these guys escape, this commander wants to see what secrets are hidden behind these guys."

When the second commander led the troops back to the camp, Su Qi'an, Lao Ji and his party had already arrived in the next county seat.

This county town and Zhenshan County are better, and they are also relatively large, there are many vendors and shops, and the city wall is not loess, but green bricks.

It can be seen that the economy of this county is still relatively good, this time Su Qi'an and Lao Ji did not leave in a hurry, and stayed for the time being.

On the one hand, in order to see the customs of various places, on the other hand, Lao Ji's caravan also needs to exchange goods here, which needs to delay some time.

Taking advantage of Lao Ji's exchange of goods, Su Qi'an was tasting all kinds of delicacies on the street, and on the other hand, he looked at the latest news from Xie Cang and Su Yong.

The two of them marched forward with a large army, and their lives were much better than Su Qi'an and them along the way.

After a short pause in the first county town of Zhongzhou, and not long after being entertained with good food and drink, after half a day's effort, Zhongzhou Mu directly sent people to take Su Yong and Xie Cang and his party to Zhongzhou City.

A rich banquet was prepared for it, and the powerful and high-ranking officials in Zhongzhou City had been waiting in Zhongzhou City for a long time.

After two or three days of hard work, what Su Yong saw could be described as dazzling, and that kind of drunken gold fan was easy for people to fall into.

This kind of thing may be useful to others, but it doesn't do much for the two of them.

Su Yong plays Su Qi'an, Su Qi'an's personality is well-known in Kyoto City, with a cold personality and no interest in all kinds of banquets.

And at some point, if it angers Su Qi'an, then it will be unbearable.

And this banquet held for the two of them in Zhongzhou, in order to test this Zhongzhou pastor, with the cooperation of Xie Cang, Su Yong lost his temper.

This temper is not for no reason, but there are traces to follow, the officials of Zhongzhou, the powerful of the family, and the people of Kyoto City are all all the way.

Su Yong didn't need to think of any excuses at all, what he saw along the way into the city, he could find fault casually, what bullying men and women, bullying others, not too much.

These are not big things in the eyes of the powerful, but if you want to make trouble, these are good opportunities to be sent to the front of you for nothing.

Therefore, at the banquet, Su Yong imitated Su Qi'an's temperament and lost his temper, the effect was obvious, and the Zhongzhou magnates were frightened, and finally under the appeasement of Xie Cang and Zhongzhou Mu, Su Yong's anger was calmed.

In order to do a better job, Su Yong got up and left on the spot, leaving a group of embarrassed people.

And then, it depends on how these magnates and Zhongzhou pastors will react.

Generally speaking, this big trouble is a slap in the face, and no matter how good-tempered the state pastor and the magnates are, it is impossible not to react at all.

As long as they make a move, even if it is obscure, they can see something unusual through these.

The reason why he will test the magnates and state pastors in Zhongzhou is to leave a way out for Su Qi'an.

He has a hunch that he will definitely come back to the land of Zhongzhou, such a strategic place, if he doesn't look at it or understand it much, if something happens in the future, he will pass through Zhongzhou again, who will stab him in the back, I'm afraid he won't even be prepared.

He traveled to the counties of Zhongzhou to understand the customs and customs, Xie Cang and Su Yong understood the major magnates in Zhongzhou on his behalf.

During this stay, the two stayed for three days, in addition to tasting all kinds of food, through Lao Ji's introduction, Su Qi'an was there

The local area also knows a lot of old Ji's friends.

These people are not powerful people, there are businessmen, commoners, dart masters, and most of them are not high-status people anyway.

But these people, without exception, are very lively, very hearty, free and easy, there are not so many circles around, what to say, very straightforward.

Su Qi'an was happier with these people, and these people reminded him that he had such a happy time in Nanzhou.

Although these people in front of them cannot be compared with many Nanzhou sons in terms of identity, they are not much different in temperament.

They are very free and easy, straightforward, and it is indeed very comfortable to get along with such a person, and after a short stay of three days, Su Qi'an and Lao Ji's convoy set off again.

Continuing to the east, this walk passed another seven days, and in seven days, Su Qi'an and Lao Ji passed through three more county seats.

These three county towns are good and bad, but there is one commonality, the public security in each county is not bad, relatively stable, even if there is a matter of female offenders, the yamen will be dispatched to deal with it as soon as possible.

Not to mention anything else, this style of doing things makes Su Qi'an feel somewhat gratified.

At least it won't be like in Jiaozhou and Yuezhou, where the yamen is basically just an ornament, not to mention the county order, and you can't see people at all.

Just rushed to this, Su Qi'an's attitude towards Zhongzhou gradually improved, I thought that Zhongzhou was in the rear, basically not affected by war, and the officials in the state were more or less similar to the officials in Kyoto City, they all looked like they were drunk and dreamed of death.

But Su Qi'an underestimated the state officials, not only these grassroots officials, but even high-ranking officials, such as the state pastor, the state minister, and the state lieutenant, are not absolutely clean officials, but they will definitely not do anything to oppress the people.

In addition to the children of local powerful families, there may be some sequities and will bully the market, but in the face of these squirts, the local officials will basically deal with them fairly, and will never turn a blind eye.

In addition to what Su Qi'an saw with his own eyes during this time, at the same time, they were also obtained by combining the information from Xie Cang and Su Yong.
