Su Qi'an and the first group slowly walked towards the city gate, and the closed gate opened.
The soldiers on the city wall had tense expressions and Nuan Nuan looked alert, but from beginning to end, there were no surprises after Su Qi'an entered the city.
After entering the city, they were greeted by the county magistrate and the county lieutenant. Behind them, there were only about a hundred or so people, and the streets behind them were empty.
All shops and restaurants were closed, and the streets suddenly became deserted and lonely.
The second and third leaders of the county had calm expressions on their faces. They cupped their hands towards Su Qi'an who was on the horse and signaled to follow them.
Su Qi'an nodded, and a hundred or so soldiers separated on both sides, led by the county magistrate and the county lieutenant.
Su Qian's group followed slowly and in an orderly manner according to the previous formation.
Along the way, I could only hear the heavy footsteps on the ground. The hearts of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant who were leading the way were actually hanging in their throats.
Although they looked calm, the two of them were really afraid that Su Qi'an would attack them.
If there is an army of thousands of people behind them, and if they are not well controlled, if one of them charges forward, two of them will be trampled to pieces.
The two of them didn't want to do this task of picking up people, but they had no choice. Who made the Qingcheng County Sheriff be the real person in power in the county? He was stronger than their second and third leaders. Together, they were not enough to look up to in front of the County Sheriff. of.
Along the way, it was scary. Fortunately, Su Qi'an was measured and did not point the finger at the two of them, and seemed to notice their nervousness.
Along the way, I actually joked with them and made some jokes to ease their tension a little.
The two of them smiled, but in their hearts they felt a little more in awe of Su Qi'an. Somehow, in front of Su Qi'an, as long as he glanced at them, their inner thoughts could not be hidden, and Su Qi'an could see them.
Chatting along the way, the two could only laugh and agree. Fortunately, they were not far away from leading the way. After walking through this deserted street and passing a corner, the arrangements for the trip were made.
What appeared in front of Su Qi'an was a huge and empty square.
The square is large and square, surrounded by rows of stone bricks that resemble steps.
After a quick look, this square square can accommodate at least four to five thousand people. It is more than enough for the first group Su Qi'an led this time.
Su Qi'an was not familiar with the county and it was his first time in the city. It was not easy for a county to have such a big square.
This should be a training ground, it's pretty good.
Su Qi'an made this judgment in his heart. He glanced at the middle of the square.
The Qingcheng County Sheriff and the High Priest had already led a group of soldiers and set up the tea table to welcome Su Qi'an's arrival.
Seeing Su Qi'an approaching, Qingcheng County Sheriff smiled and said, "It's a blessing for the county that Lord Su can come to the county. If the Lord sits here, we can find some time to chat."
Qingcheng County Sheriff waved to Su Qian, not to mention how eager he was.
Su Qi'an was not polite and walked over with Song Biao and other guards. As for the first group behind him, they consciously stood on the rows of steps behind them.
Su Qian dismounted and sat opposite the Qingcheng County Sheriff. He smiled and said, "The County Sheriff and the High Priest are really in a good mood. At this time, they are still in the mood to make tea. I admire this state of mind."
The Qingcheng County Sheriff sitting opposite poured the freshly brewed tea into Su Qi'an's cup and said with a smile.
"Haha, the Marquis has led his people straight to the county town. The attack is fierce. What else can this county do? Letting the Marquis enter the city will show the sincerity of the high priest and I to reconcile with the Marquis."
What Qingcheng County Sheriff said was sincere and someone who didn't understand the situation really thought he meant reconciliation.
Su Qi'an disagreed and said with a smile, "The governor's words are touching, but I don't think so."
Su Qi'an glanced at the empty steps behind Qingcheng County Sheriff and continued, "County Governor, stop beating around the bush and call your people out. It's not a good thing to be secretive. Since I dare to enter the city, I'm not afraid of your plot and ambush. "
"As expected of Mr. Su, he speaks straight to the point. Hurry up and go. Mr. Su has already spoken, and so does this county.
There is nothing to hide. "
Qingcheng County Sheriff clapped his hands, and the next moment, behind him, on the empty steps, or to be more precise, on the wall of this square square.
In an instant, a large number of people poured out. There were many of them, and they directly occupied the commanding heights of the four walls.
Each held a crossbow, forming a double-team on Su Qi'an and others below.
As long as they give the order, Su Qi'an and the others will not be able to escape and will become turtles in a jar.
At the same time, behind the Qingcheng County Sheriff, the protective soldiers were holding shields. It seemed that they were ready to cover the departure of the Qingcheng County Sheriff and the high priest.
Even if Su Qian wanted to take action at this time, with Qingcheng County Sheriff and High Priest as hostages, they would not give him this chance.
I suffered a loss last time in Yangliu County City, but I won't fall into the same trap a second time.
It can be said that Qingcheng County Sheriff is fully prepared this time and is waiting for Su Qi'an to enter the game.
Originally, Su Qi'an had room for change. He could have chosen not to enter the city and confront the county guard, or he could have chosen to take the next step and directly attack the city by force.
Even if the casualties are greater, it is still better than falling into his trap and becoming a turtle in the urn.
The main blame is that Su Qi'an was too complacent. Did he really think he was unprepared?
Bringing all the troops and taking advantage of the autumn harvest to collect grain, do you want to launch a surprise attack and take the county directly?
It's a good idea, but he has been the county governor for so many years, how could he not have an informant?
Such a massive march along the way did not require Qingcheng County Governor to pay any attention to it. Every move of Su Qi'an's army was under his control.
As the old saying goes, being at a disadvantage for a moment is nothing. What matters in the end is the final result. You will know now who will win.
With Su Qi'an's entry into the situation, the situation was instantly reversed, and Qingcheng County Sheriff's face was filled with pride.
He looked at Su Qi'an who still looked calm and said, "Master Su, this county is very curious, how do you break the situation now? If you want to take over the county, it will cost both of us lives. These thousand people are not enough."
They have been losing to Su Qi'an, and now it is the turn of the Sheriff and the High Priest to be the dealer.
Su Qi'an glanced briefly and said calmly, "Of course we can win it without bloodshed. We can win a small county, but it's not my turn to kill my people."
Su Qi'an's bold words made the two of them snort coldly. The high priest obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with Su Qi'an. In his opinion, Su Qi'an was just talking hard.
If you are addicted to talking, talking to such people is a complete waste of their time.
But the Qingcheng County Sheriff beside him didn't think so. He stopped the high priest from ordering the attack.
There was no rush to capture Su Qi'an at this moment. Unlike the high priest, he could not deal with an arrogant but intelligent person like Su Qi'an.
What Qingcheng County Sheriff wanted was not only to defeat him physically, but more importantly, to destroy him psychologically.
The high priest curled his lips but said nothing, muttering in his heart, "You cool people just love to cause trouble like this."
If they had followed their native methods, captured them directly, and then tortured them, no matter how tough they were, they would always give in. How could there be so many messes?
As for the current situation, under their control, there is no possibility of a comeback. If the situation is unfavorable, the high priest will not tolerate Qingcheng County Sheriff wasting such time.
The Qingcheng County Sheriff said with a playful smile, "Oh, I want to see how the Marquis can boast and take down the county town without any blood."
"You'll see."
"Su Qi'an smiled, then raised his head, looked at the sunshine above his head, and said softly, "Given the time, they should succeed."
The Qingcheng County Sheriff had a puzzled look on his face, when the high priest thought Su Qi'an was playing tricks and took action again.
Suddenly, the ground in the square began to shake, like an earthquake.
Immediately afterwards, outside the square, noisy voices gathered overwhelmingly and rushed towards the Sifang Square.
Listening to the noise, there are quite a lot of them, and it feels like they are having sex.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, both seeing that they were right.
Fang was confused, but before they could speak, Su Qian said.
"Two adults, don't be nervous. Nothing major happened in the county city. It was just a massacre by the people in the city. Judging from this movement, except for this square square, other places in the county city should have been controlled.
"In layman's terms, the county basically fell into my hands."
"Su, stop your farts here! How can you do this? Your army is all here. Even if the follow-up army wants to attack the city, it will not be that easy. It is nothing more than misleading people here. I just want to take a breather."
The high priest cursed at Su Qi'an. He didn't believe what Su Qi'an said at all.
His people and his troops are all here. It is simply impossible to capture the county so quickly. It is impossible for anyone to do it.
Su Qi'an must be here to confuse the public just so that he can live a little longer.
Compared with the high priest who lost control of his emotions, the Qingcheng County Sheriff was much calmer. His eyes flashed and he stared at Su Qi'an.
"If you don't believe it, Lord Sheriff, you can ask your people to see if every street in this county has a big flag with the word "Su" engraved on it."
"As long as there is a street in Fanjun City that is still in the hands of the two of you, I will let you handle it."
Su Qian was talking and drinking tea, looking quite calm.
The noise outside the Sifang Square continued, but Qingcheng County Sheriff couldn't care so much. He raised his head and signaled with his eyes.
A dozen soldiers standing on top of the city wall quickly ran towards the distance.
After about a while, the soldiers returned. They didn't even need to speak. Just by looking at their downcast expressions, you could tell whether this was true or not.
At this scene, Qingcheng County Sheriff's expression changed. He was so complacent just now that he couldn't laugh at all.
His body was trembling a little. It was hard to imagine, let alone him, that no one could imagine how long it had only been since Su Qi'an entered the city, less than a stick of incense.
The county he had controlled for many years was changed hands like this? For a while, it was hard for Qingcheng County Sheriff to believe it.
"How did you do that!" Qingcheng County Sheriff stared at Su Qi'an and asked, this was the only thought in his mind.
"Do you remember what I said the last time I sent troops to Yangliu County, Governor?"
Qingcheng County Sheriff was startled and quickly thought of it.
Su Qi'an took advantage of the fact that the two of them were deeply trapped in Yangliu County City and indeed sent troops, but it was not to attack, but to sneak in secretly!
As if nothing was wrong, a large number of Su Qi'an's men quietly entered the county town.
He immediately figured out what the problem was. During the interrogation that day, there were more people entering the city, not for the market. These people were all Su Qi'an's infiltrators.
He did not do any damage in the city, but lurked in the city, quietly developing personnel, lurking for five months, nearly half a year, in order to explode on this day.
