Guo Kai stood in place, his eyes flashing, looking at the street below, ignoring the reminders of his subordinates behind him, his subordinates' faces were anxious, and they kept urging.

"Your Excellency..."

"Smack!"

Without waiting for his subordinates to finish speaking, Guo Kai turned around, and it was a loud slap, and this slap directly blinded his subordinates.

"What is urging, doesn't Benshu know? If you have the ability, chase after it, and deal with the 20,000 troops stationed on the outskirts of the city, and this state will not stop it. ”

Guo Kai's scolding made his subordinates look excited, and all of them were silent, taking down Su Qi'an and Xie Cang, but if they really want to deal with the 20,000 troops outside the city, no one has the ability.

The prestige of his Dongshan and Split Mountain armies, even if they are far away in Jinju, they have heard of it, and they are all masters who do not want to die, and if they really fight with these outlaws, it will be more than auspicious.

Compared with the fear of his subordinates, Guo Kai was more afraid of the Dongshan and Split Mountain armies, but the words that Su Qi'an said in his ear before leaving.

"Lord Guo wants to stay, Ben Hou accompanies him, I don't know if my lord is ready for those so-called untouchable riots on the outskirts of the city."

It is this sentence that makes Guo Kai dare not act rashly, there are a large number of untouchables who are banned outside the city, and in normal times, there are a large number of soldiers patrolling regularly, and Guo Kai is not worried about card restrictions.

But Su Qi'an, who crossed the border, took an army of 20,000, and once they were controlled by himself, the 20,000 troops stationed on the outskirts of the county would not attack the county seat, but would go in the direction of the imprisoned untouchables.

With the strength of the army, a few charges are estimated to be able to break through the barrier of the encirclement, and when the time comes, it will cause an outbreak, and even he may not be able to stop it.

In forcing Su Qi'an to stay and maintain the stability of the untouchables, Guo Kai still chose the latter, he didn't dare to bet, he couldn't afford this price.

If you were someone else, you might be able to give it a try, but in the face of the Baishou Hou who did not play cards according to common sense, Guo Kai still chose to compromise.

This military marquis is likely to dare to do anything, and if he really wants to keep him, this Jinju may be stirred upside down by him.

Since the cooperation failed, he had to choose to let go, in fact, from the very beginning, Guo Kai had no intention of forcing Su Qi'an to stay.

He blocked the way here, but he was just acting on orders, and as for Su Qi'an's attitude, he couldn't control it.

As the negotiations between the two sides broke down, Guo Kai also knew Su Qi'an's choice, and the rest of the matter had little to do with him.

Instead of being presumptuous, it is better to take a step back, as for how to treat Su Qi'an in the future, it is not something he can interfere with.

After gradually calming down, Guo Kai breathed a long sigh of relief and said to his subordinates behind him.

"You can report to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, just say that this hundred princes have made a choice, and it seems that it is impossible to recruit, and please ask His Highness to make a decision as soon as possible."

The subordinates who came back to their senses nodded slightly, and left quickly without saying a word.

Guo Kai, who was standing on the platform on the fifth floor, withdrew his gaze and muttered softly, "Baishou Hou, I gave you a chance, but unfortunately you insisted on not wanting to, and you could only meet with swords in the future." ”

……

At this time, Su Qi'an and Xie Cang, who left the county government, galloped all the way on horseback, during which they did not encounter any obstacles, even if they went out of the county, there was no ambush on the official road, so they left the county seat of Jinxi very smoothly, and then quickly joined most of Su Yong and Tong Zhan.

Seeing the safe return of the two, Su Yong and Tong Zhan's hanging hearts also let go.

Before leaving, Su Qi'an told them that if there was no movement within half an hour, or it was rumored that the two of them had plans to stay overnight, there was no need to hesitate, according to the original plan, just order the army to charge.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen, and the two returned unscathed and the people of the direct team returned safely.

Converging with the large army, Xie Cang pulled the horse rope, looked at the lively market looming in the distance, and couldn't help sighing.

"Who would have thought that the peace and contentment of Jinzhou was actually built on the prosperity of the many imprisoned people, absorbing their blood, no wonder Brother Su has always distrusted the King of Jin, there are indeed enough bastards in this ruling policy."

"Brother Su, I don't understand something, since we have encountered this matter, you also said, as long as the army is pulled out, a few charges, to rescue these imprisoned people, but it is as easy as a hand, why do we ignore it."

"Even if we are afraid of offending the King of Jin, then we will take a step back, report directly to Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty send an investigation team, I think we will definitely be able to rescue these suffering people of Jinzhou, and then the so-called wisdom of the King of Jin will definitely be ruined, isn't this the best opportunity to bring down the King of Jin?"

Looking at the puzzlement on Xie Cang's face, Su Qi'an shook his head and said softly.

"It's easy to charge with an order, and it's also easy to rescue these imprisoned people, but does Brother Xie consider how many people are imprisoned like this in Jinju? We can save the seven counties along the way, and if we expand the entire Jinju, can we really save all of them by relying on our people alone? ”

"Guo Kai didn't stop us, not because he was afraid of our identity, but because he was afraid that I would make a big fuss, he couldn't bear the responsibility, the seven counties in the north, this is just one county, Guo Kai will turn a blind eye, but once the entire Jinju is expanded, it will be tantamount to completely tearing his face with him, with his temperament, I am afraid that he will desperately transfer troops, encircle and suppress us, and fight with the Jinzhou soldiers, this is not our original intention."

"Of course, if we really want to fight the Jinzhou soldiers, we are not afraid, and I am confident that we can defeat them, but don't forget, this is Jinzhou, the fief of the King of Jin."

"Jinju has not been in chaos for so many years, and he dares to publicly inform us of his means of governance, which shows that he has already had a way to deal with it, even if we will rescue these people in captivity, I don't think they will choose to resist, let alone complain to the imperial court."

"We rescued these civilians, but don't forget, we have invisibly harmed the interests of the wealthy people living in the city, among these people, there are not only families, powerful people, but also many ordinary people."

"Once provoked, most of the people in the county will fight with us, and the most important thing is that think about it, why are these people who are imprisoned and captive willing to be sucked by them and do not resist at all?"

Xie Cang's eyes flashed, as if he realized something, and he said softly.

"What does Brother Su mean is that those ordinary people who are drawn into the city from time to time and enjoy a good life?"

Su Qi'an nodded, "That's right, whether it is up to high-ranking officials and magnates, down to peddlers and pawns, whether they are in high positions or forced to rebel, the ultimate goal is to live a better life, the more they get, and in the final analysis, it is for their own descendants." ”

"And the descendants who controlled these rebellions, they have to think twice about doing anything, whether it was the original Xizhou pastor, or the previous Dongzhou pastor, they can be in charge of the party, all of them are the descendants who control these powerful people."

"As long as you take care of these juniors, it is equivalent to grasping their lifeblood, which is why they are willing to be imprisoned and sucked blood."

"Compared with Xizhou or Dongzhou, the problem of Jinzhou is more complicated, and it is not only Guo Kai who is in charge of Jinzhou, but Su Zhe, the virtuous king who has huge power in the imperial court."

"His reputation as a virtuous king has been fought for so many years, even if he appeals to His Majesty, what can he find out if he sends an investigation team, maybe he will praise his clever methods, and King Zhao, who has been fighting with him for so many years, has not been able to attack with this starting point, it is enough to see that the current Jinzhou is not an exaggeration to say that it is Su Zhe's private property."

"This kind of taming and indoctrination is not something we can do by leading an army to rescue these people, we can save their bodies, but we can't save the bodies and minds of these people."

Listening to Su Qi'an's narration, Xie Cang realized that he had made this matter simple, and now it seems that under the prosperous Jinzhou, there are all kinds of intertwined and extremely complicated, and he really did it, that is, he moved the whole body.

It's far from being as simple as it seems, and if you don't do it, you'll end up trapping yourself in.

The most important thing is that the two of them are just passing through Jinzhou, and they can't stay for a long time at all, and if they really want to make trouble in Jinzhou, the war in the northwest will definitely be delayed.

Don't think about it, it completely gives King Jin an excellent opportunity for impeachment, and when the time comes, it will be a matter of time before they are taken down.

Xie Cang's eyes were complicated, and he didn't say anything, just let out a long sigh.

In the sigh, it was full of unwillingness.

Seeing this, Su Qi'an was relieved, "Brother Xie, it's a good thing to have a warm blood, but many things are not something that we can see, and it can be solved by pulling out a sword to help, and there is no problem with the freedom of the people, but it is very difficult to change the hearts of those who have been educated and tamed, and we must make long-term plans." ”

"Okay, don't think about it, there is still an element of luck to be able to leave smoothly this time, if you continue to stay here, this Guo Kai may make some small moves."

"Let's go."

"Well, what Brother Su said is that everything is in a hurry, as long as you have the heart, there will always be a day to solve it, Brother Su, let's go!"

The next moment, Xie Cang came to his senses, waved his horsewhip, and rushed out directly, and the gathered army, under the sound of a long horn, marched forward.

Without the obstruction of the Jinju soldiers, it only took about a quarter of an hour to pass through the checkpoint in front of him, and then left Jinju and officially stepped into the border of Ganzhou.

As soon as you enter the boundary of Ganzhou, there is an endless desert in front of you, and as you gradually go deeper, you are surrounded by rolling up yellow sand, all around, not to mention the forest, even the village is very rare.

The only thing I could see was some old trees that had been dead for many years around from time to time, hollowed out, dry trunks, teeth and claws, and some long branches, as if they were showing people the way.

Along the way, there is only a sense of desolation and vicissitudes.

The desolation of the boundary of Ganzhou is indeed worthy of its name, even more desolate than Ningzhou, it can be described as a vast and sparsely populated area, even if you go out of forty or fifty miles, you can't see half a figure.

It is no wonder that many officials are reluctant to go to the northwest to serve in the frontier, and every time they go to the northwest, their faces are sad, as if they have committed something, and there is no difference between them and the frontier.

is so inaccessible, and thanks to Wang Zhenshan, he has been staying for more than ten years, and he may not be able to stay as an ordinary person.
