Listening to Wu Yong's explanation, Su Qi'an was quite pleased with the changes in Jiaozhou.

The current Jiaozhou, under the management of Huo Cheng, Huang Wenyan, Wu Yong and others, has changed the increasingly corrupt era of Li Kang, and the people will at least not be oppressed and squeezed at will.

More importantly, the contradiction between the Liang and the natives was resolved, and the two sides coexisted peacefully in the division of a land boundary, and also reached peace with Heilu in Xizhou.

The current Jiaozhou is far stronger than two years ago, and the location is remote, even if a war breaks out in Daliang, it will be difficult to affect Jiaozhou for a while.

At present, Jiaozhou is completely self-sufficient, and if there is an enemy attack, it will not be frightened at all, relying on the 50,000 regular army in his hands and the 5,000 militia formed by each county, the total strength of the army is at least 80,000, this scale is enough for the enemy army to attack and weigh up.

Thinking that at the beginning, the blueprint for Jiaozhou that Su Qi'an had built was initially realized in just two years, how could Su Qi'an not be pleased.

This should be the best news he has heard so far since he broke through to Kyoto, and he chose Huo Cheng as the pastor of Jiaozhou, and he really didn't see the wrong person.

Su Qi'an nodded slightly, and continued to ask Wu Yong, "In this case, with the strength of Jiaozhou, even if you support Xizhou, it shouldn't be a difficult thing, how can you sit in the chaos of the war in Xizhou?" ”

Wu Yong shook his head and explained, "Sir, it's not that we don't want to support, I heard that Xizhou was besieged by 100,000 troops, and Huo Zhoumu gathered his troops at the first time and prepared to go north to support, but Xizhou Mu refused. ”

"Refused?" Su Qi'an's eyes flashed.

"Not only that, but after refusing, Xizhou Mu cut off all the roads leading to Jiaozhou as soon as possible, even if we go north, it will be difficult for the army to travel."

Su Qi'an was speechless, silent for a moment, as if he had guessed something and said what he thought.

"Luo Lao did this, most likely because he was afraid of bringing trouble to Jiaozhou, this is one of them, and second, it is estimated that Luo Lao also has his own plans."

Wu Yong nodded very approvingly, "Mr. guessed right, the reason why the connection with Jiaozhou was cut off was to protect Jiaozhou, the first emperor died, the two kings ascended the throne, and the Great Liang was divided, which was chaotic enough. ”

"This is also the result of the discussion between Huo Zhoumu and me and Wen Yan, if you really want to fight, Jiaozhou is naturally not afraid, but once the war starts, the war will definitely affect Jiaozhou, and the peace that the people of Jiaozhou have finally obtained will definitely be broken."

"Luo Zhoumu's good intentions made his subordinates quite admired."

"At the same time, we also thought that with the strength of Luozhou Mu, since he dared to cut off the connection with Jiaozhou, he must have his thoughts, and there are helpers such as the Heilu Army, Wanggui Commercial Bank, and the dark web around him, and the war in Xizhou will last for a while."

"We are also actively waiting for Luo Zhou's feedback to us, once necessary, we will immediately cooperate fully, and our subordinates Chen Cang will serve as the county guard, just to get in touch with Xizhou to see if we need to cooperate."

"It's a pity that the war in Xizhou has been going on for so long, even if the two counties fall, we haven't received any news from Xizhou."

Wu Yong told that Su Qi'an's face was calm, and his heart was not so anxious, judging from the news he had obtained so far, Xizhou was under a lot of pressure, but at least it was not in danger of falling, and there was still buffer time.

But this kind of buffer, Su Qi'an can't wait, after thinking about it, he still has to go north to enter Xizhou, and only when he sees Luo Qingyuan can he know his true intentions.

Under the heavy pressure of Xizhou, at least Qin Ziyin, Lu Xiaowan, and his relatives and friends, who he was most worried about and concerned about, were still safe, and they played a great role in this war.

In the past two years, it is not only Jiaozhou that has changed, but also Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan.

They really did it, no matter how big the crisis in Xizhou is, as a housewife, they can always play their role in Su Qi'an's absence.

Su Qi'an's mind was a little distracted, and now he was very eager to return to Xizhou.

Su Qi'an's thoughts, Wu Yong naturally knew, he said, "Sir, the matter of returning to Xizhou will be arranged by his subordinates, and when he returns to Chencang County, in a few days, his subordinates will definitely let Mr. return to Xizhou." ”

"I think Mr. will return to Jiaozhou, Huo Zhoumu and Wenyan will be very happy to know about it."

Su Qi'an was a little distracted, came back to his senses, nodded and said with a smile, "Well, I haven't seen them for a long time, and the matter of meeting will be left to you to contact." ”

"Please rest assured, sir, your subordinates will do a good job." Wu nodded solemnly.

While the two were talking, the galloping carriage quickly arrived at Chencang County, and as for Wu Yong's worries, he was a little worried.

Under their rectification, Jiaozhou is not to say perfect, and the bandits are eliminated, even if there is, there will be no blind to provoke them.

Not to mention the direct subordinate team that followed around the carriage, the plainclothes soldiers who came in Wu Yong's beckoning were all veterans of a hundred battles, and even if the local bandits didn't open their eyes, they could know which people they couldn't mess with.

galloping all the way, everyone came to Chencang County City smoothly. Regarding the matter of contacting Huo Cheng and Huang Wenyan after Su Qi'an and Su Fengling were escorted into the city, Wu Yong immediately went to do it.

About half a day's work, the originally quiet Chencang County, there are many carriages galloping one after another, looking at the magnificence of the carriage and the accompanying team, you know that it is a big man.

The purpose of these carriage drivers is very clear, that is, they are coming to the Chencang County Government.

After a while, a room in the county hall sounded a lively sound, and there were many people in the house, and loud laughter came out of the house from time to time.

In the room, in addition to Su Qi'an and Su Fengling, Huo Cheng, Huang Wenyan, Wu Yong, and three indigenous elders stood on both sides.

Everyone's faces were very excited, looking at Su Qi'an in front of them, everyone could be described as gossiping and chattering.

"Sir, I didn't expect you to come back alive, I heard about you in Kyoto that day, but I frightened us, if it wasn't for Huo Zhoumu to stop me, I would have to send troops to seek justice for Mr."

"I said the three elders, can you speak, what does it mean that Mr. can come back alive, Mr. Ji people have their own natural appearance, and the person who wants to kill Mr. has not been born in Da Liang." Huang Wenyan on the side pouted and said.

"Yes, yes, Mr. is a Jiren with his own natural appearance, I am so excited, I hope Mr. forgiveness."

"Sir, this time you come back to Jiaozhou, as long as you say a word, we will call back immediately, damn it, how can there be such a bully, not only kill the king, but even label Mr. as a rebellious minister, this tone is unbearable no matter what." The Grand Elder also interjected on the side.

"That's right, sir, now Da Liang is falling apart, now is a good time for us to send troops, the two kings killed the king and rebelled, as a Da Liang courtier, everyone will be punished, as long as Mr. gives an order, his subordinates will immediately gather troops and send troops to fight." Huo Cheng also said.

Listening to everyone's gossip, after Su Qi'an listened to them one by one, he waved his hand to soothe them, and the sound in the room was obviously much quieter, and after a while, Su Qi'an said.

"Everyone's feelings, I can understand, I don't want to send troops to crusade against the two kings, but with our current strength, it is still very difficult to defeat the two kings, even if we use the power of the two states to defeat the two kings desperately, but the Rong people who are eyeing the tiger behind are afraid that they are waiting for us to act like this, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"And the current war in Xizhou has not yet been settled, if you send troops at this time, you will only shoot the first bird, and maybe you will be attacked by the two kings who summoned the Daliang states."

"Now that I have returned to Jiaozhou, for now, I have to keep a low profile, I can't expose my whereabouts, only by calming the war in Xizhou and stabilizing the civil strife in the two states, can I have the confidence to fight head-on with the power of the two states."

"It is imperative that I return to Xizhou, contact Luo Lao, and make a follow-up strategy, and you, I hope to continue to maintain the previous stability, and I don't know what to do."

"Yes...... Mr. Hearing this, everyone was obviously unwilling.

He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Qi'an, and he said with a smile.

"Don't worry, the temporary forbearance and retreat is for a greater victory in the future, rest assured, when you fight, the second king finally gave the gift of 100,000 troops, how can we not accept it."

Looking at the playful look on Su Qi'an's face, everyone nodded slightly, probably knowing Su Qi'an's intentions, and did not open their mouths to refute, they all hugged their fists and said yes.

Everyone stayed in the room for about an hour, and then left separately, and they were all very happy to see Su Qi'an, but now is not the time to catch up.

These people will next prepare for Su Qi'an to go north and enter Xizhou and pacify the war in Xizhou.

In addition to Wu Yong accompanying Su Qi'an, Huo Cheng, Huang Wenyan, and the three elders all left one after another.

Before leaving, he kept telling Wu Yong that he must protect Su Qi'an's safety, and Wu Yong also solemnly promised to hold his fists.

After bidding farewell to Huo Cheng, Huang Wenyan and others, Su Qi'an did not stay long in Chencang County, only about three days, and then under the leadership of Wu Yong, he went all the way west and went straight to Xiacang County.

Luo Qingyuan did cut off the connection with Jiaozhou, but he couldn't cut off the connection between the clan land and Xiacang.

Since Su Qi'an was divided into two, most of the natives of Jiaozhou have settled in Xiacang County in the west.

Heilu and the natives are not Liangren, even if the war spreads, it rarely affects the westernmost clan land, unless the entire Xizhou falls, it is impossible to completely cut off the connection between the two places.

This time, Wu Yong just wanted to pass through Xiacang in the west and go north through the clan land, so as to enter Xizhou.

For this trip, Wu Yong had already greeted the two elders, and before leaving, the two elders specially gave him a veteran token, as long as those who held this order, they could enter the clan land unimpeded.

With the help of the two elders is on the one hand, but more important is Su Qi'an himself, there are not many of them on this trip, only a few hundred, but if there are thousands of them, with an army, it is absolutely impossible to enter the clan land.

The natives and Heilu divided the clan land into two, and it seemed that they lived in peace, but the grievances accumulated over hundreds of years could not be resolved within two years, and there would be small frictions in normal times.

If you bring a team of tens of thousands of people into the clan land, everyone will be wary and wonder if the other party has the intention of annexation, so whenever you pass through the clan land, the number of people is absolutely controlled below five hundred, even if there is friction, but at least it can be controlled.
