The news that Jiaojun City was attacked by 20,000 Dongshan troops reached the rear city, and the people who had been calmed down by Li Kang just now began to quarrel.
Who knew that this Su Qi'an could use such tactics, and that the strength of his troops was far beyond their knowledge.
The number has doubled from 10,000 to 20,000, and who knows if these are people from the Su Qi Security Department.
According to the battle situation reported back from the front line, all 20,000 people stormed the front wall of Jiaojun City. Under such a fierce offensive, the more than 20,000 defenders of Jiaojun City were in danger of being beaten.
Although the two counties have sent troops to reinforce, it will take time after all. What they are most worried about now is whether Jiaojun City will be breached at this juncture.
They were sitting at the rear, and there were tens of thousands of state soldiers in the city, but even so, it still made them nervous.
Once Jiaojun was captured, the next target was definitely the city of Zhou. They originally wanted to encroach step by step, surround Su Qi'an bit by bit, and finally swallow it up.
Unexpectedly, Su Qi'an did not follow common sense and swarmed all the troops, and the target he chose was Jiaojun, which had the strongest defense.
As a wealthy family, it was impossible for them not to understand what Su Qi'an meant. Once they captured Jiaojun, they would attack it from the front.
This was a big blow to all officials and priests in Jiaozhou and proved that Su Qi'an had the strength to compete with Li Kang in Jiaozhou.
There were constant quarrels in the room. The main point of contention was that if they could send troops to support in time, or be more cautious and start early, they would not be besieged by Su Qian.
On the surface, it seemed to be an expression of regret, but in fact, the spearhead was intentionally or unintentionally blaming Li Kang for trusting the state envoy.
The battle with Su Qi'an affected the entire Jiaozhou. It was a battle to determine who was in power in Jiaozhou.
This battle is also crucial to them. They have already sided with Li Kang. It can be said that they have put their lives and fortunes in Li Kang's hands.
For such a big war, Li Kang had to leave the command to the state envoys, which really made them feel uneasy.
What the state envoy did later revealed their worries.
Now we can only passively reinforce them. If we had listened to their opinions earlier and sent troops in advance, we wouldn't be in this situation now.
Li Kang couldn't hear everyone's overt and covert words. This time he didn't lose his temper and listened patiently to everyone's arguments, feeling very contemptuous of these soft-footed shrimps.
As expected, they are a bunch of people who can't stand up to the wall. It's really unreliable to be so flustered over a random thing.
After a long silence, Li Kang finally spoke, "Have you had enough noise? If not, you can continue."
It was this indifferent sentence that calmed down the people involved in the dispute.
Li Kang glanced at it and then said, "So what about the 20,000 Dongshan Army? Could it be that 70,000 people from three counties can't wipe them out? The Dongshan Army is very strong, but it shouldn't make you so afraid."
"Since Su Qian wants to have an honest battle with Benzhou, Benzhou is waiting for him in the city to see who has the last laugh in this battle!"
"On the other hand, if you are afraid of death, this state will give you a chance and let you out of the city. It depends on whether Su Qi'an will accept your surrender."
Li Kang's words once again shocked everyone, and everyone suddenly stopped talking and remained silent.
Although they covet wealth and comfort, they are not stupid. If they leave the city to surrender at this time, Su Qi'an will not let them go.
Just think about it and you will know that at this juncture of the battle between the two sides, they went out of the city to surrender. It is difficult not to suspect that there was fraud.
If you encounter some cruel people, it is not impossible to kill them directly.
The current war in Jiaozhou with Su Qi'an is not peaceful. It is too common for some people to take advantage of the situation and make trouble.
Normally, some people would be wary of these powerful people due to their status and background, but now, once they leave the city, it goes without saying that their lives are not guaranteed.
The whole of Jiaozhou, that is, the city is the safest. It can be said that Li Kang's simple words directly broke their hearts, and they could only obey them honestly.
Arranged by Li Kang.
Just when everyone in the room calmed down, not long after, a piece of news from the front line came again.
Everyone's hearts tightened, subconsciously thinking it was bad news again, but after hearing the report from their subordinates, everyone was immediately stunned.
This news was not from Jiaojun City that they were worried about being breached, but from Yangliu County City.
Yangliu County City was suddenly attacked by a group of people half an hour ago. Fortunately, County Governor Huo Cheng responded quickly and mobilized the only 6,000 people in the city to take action in time.
Not only did they stop this group of unidentified people, they even trapped them in the county town. After further investigation, it was discovered that the leader of this group was Su Qi'an.
Su Qi'an was very courageous. He wanted to take advantage of the fierce battle in Jiaojun City, and secretly took a thousand men under his command to pass through Yangliu County City and go back to Zhoucheng. Unfortunately, he was discovered by Huo Cheng during the march. Instead, he mobilized his troops and took Su Qi'an and others Trapped.
I specially sent the report as soon as possible, hoping that Zhou Mu could go to Yangliu County in person and watch Su Qi'an being captured alive with his own eyes.
This news made everyone in the room quiet down. Everyone's eyes flashed with deep shock on their faces.
Not to mention them, even Li Kang's expression changed several times, and he seriously asked his subordinates several times to confirm the authenticity of this matter.
No wonder Li Kang was like this. No one would believe this news. It was like a pie suddenly falling from the sky. The feeling of happiness was dizzying.
One moment, Jiaojun City was in danger and threatened to be breached at any time. The next second, something big came directly. Not only did they discover Su Qi'an's whereabouts, but they also trapped him, and he was likely to be captured alive.
If this is true, it can only mean that God is on Li Kang's side, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a lucky son.
Li Kang's repeated inquiries yielded the original answer, and Su Qi'an was trapped in Yangliu County.
But even so, Li Kang was still a little skeptical. At this time, the latest battle report from the front line Jiaojuncheng basically confirmed the authenticity of this matter.
The state envoys brought 20,000 people each from Gaolan County and Yangliu County to increase the number of county towns in time.
With 60,000 troops, the 20,000 Dongshan Army who stormed Jiaojun City were trapped. The two sides fell into a stalemate. In general, the situation was stabilized.
At the end of this battle report, there is also some prejudgment and analysis of Su Qi'an by the state envoy.
It says that Su Qian's Dongshan Army has a maximum strength of 20,000 men this time. It is certain that all the Dongshan Army troops are attacking Jiaojun City.
During the fierce battle with the Dongshan Army, no trace of Su Qi'an was found. According to the information obtained by the dispatched investigators, the state envoy concluded that Su Qi'an would probably lead a small force to secretly attack the target in a detour. It's probably the prefectural city. I hope the prefectural pastor can be careful and vigilant.
The analysis of the battle situation from the state envoy made Li Kang couldn't help laughing proudly, and he sent this latest battle report to his subordinates one by one for review.
Everyone who had looked nervous and worried just now also showed joyful smiles, and many people stood up and said directly.
"Haha, God is really helping me. I didn't expect that the famous Dongshan Marquis would also have this day. It's so happy."
"No, this may be in response to the sentence. If you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet? Dongshan Army, which is famous for its efficient maneuvers, did not expect that Su Qi'an would capsize one day. This is fate."
"Lord Zhou Mu, this opportunity is really a gift from God. It is a rare opportunity. You must seize it. This time I am willing to accompany you to Yangliu County City and watch how Su Qi'an brings about his own destruction."
"Yes, I am willing to accompany you to protect your safety."
One after another, the complimenting voices quickly changed. The attitude of everyone who was a little worried just now was called loyal.
The change in everyone's attitude was as expected by Li Kang. He was not interested in settling scores with these wavering wallflowers. The top priority right now was to deal with Su Qi'an.
As long as Su Qi'an can be captured, the uproarious war in Jiaozhou will finally end with his victory. When the time comes, there will be plenty of time to beat them.
Go there in person, it was Li Kang who told me before the war
The county guards issued orders to notify Su Qi'an as soon as possible if he could be caught. Read the book
Only if he saw Su Qi'an being caught and executed before his eyes, would he believe that Su Qi'an really died in his hands.
No wonder Li Kang was so unnecessary. After dealing with Su Qi'an for a long time, he realized that when dealing with such a cunning person, only by seeing him die in front of him can he be sure that the person is really dead.
Words from outsiders don’t count.
Li Kang did not hesitate for a long time this time. He nodded and said directly, "Immediately summon two thousand state soldiers. After a cup of tea, everyone will follow the state and set off for Yangliu County."
"Your Excellency is wise!" Everyone said respectfully, and after a while, everyone in the room began to take action.
Li Kang also had his own purpose in doing this. With these people, he could not only witness Su Qi'an being executed under his shock, but also enhance his reputation.
More importantly, if something changes along the way, these people are his best candidates to stop him.
The state soldiers gathered quickly. After a while, the city gate slowly opened and the mighty team set off.
If you look carefully, you will find that in addition to the two thousand state soldiers dispatched this time, there are an additional two thousand people. These people are the guards of dignitaries from major aristocratic families and state and city officials.
For safety reasons, it is somewhat useful to bring private soldiers. It is obviously not a wise move to rely on only two thousand state soldiers and put your life in their hands.
A team of more than 4,000 people headed towards Yangliu County City. At the same time, Jiaojun City on the front line was supposed to be involved in a fierce battle, but people couldn't understand it.
Although the battle was still going on in the frontal battlefield, the level was far from the level of intense, life-and-death struggle.
Even the initial Dongshan Army and the first batch of siege forces did not reach the intensity. The battle between the two sides seemed to be fighting on their own, like a performance.
You know, just in front of a stick of incense, the state envoy has come with 40,000 reinforcements. With an army of 60,000, encircling and suppressing 20,000 people, there will definitely be a lot of casualties, but if they really want to help, the 20,000 Dongshan Army Absolutely doomed.
But now, as the state envoy led his troops, the battle between the two sides seemed to be coming to an end. The armies of both sides were ready to retreat at any time. They were far from trapping the Dongshan Army as the state envoy said in the battle report, and the two sides fell into a deadly fight.
