Just kidding, there is such a good opportunity now, how could they miss it. ap.
They quickly followed up, wanting to see what kind of surprise the Dongshan Marquis would bring them next.
At this time, on the road leading to Chencang County, tens of thousands of troops gathered and set off.
In addition to Su Qi'an's three main divisions, this operation included Xie Cang's 10,000 mountain-splitting army and the 30,000-strong army of the Priest Alliance.
He left 20,000 to supervise the barbarians Heilu who laid down their weapons. After all, the number of barbarians who surrendered was there.
It is impossible to leave no manpower behind, leaving the indigenous army with relatively weak combat effectiveness, and there will not be any big trouble.
This time, there were a total of 60,000 troops, divided into multiple groups, heading towards Chencang County in the north.
Their speed was very fast. From a distance, they looked like several huge dragons with no end in sight. They were so dark that there was no end in sight.
In addition to the 60,000 troops marching this time, the nearby counties along the way have already recruited civilians to go ahead and deliver food in advance.
Looking along the way, the scene was quite spectacular. Following the great chief who set out together, there was nothing but deep shock on his face.
With such scale and efficiency, there is no rush at all. It seems that it has been prepared for a long time.
At this time, he sent troops, gathered the army, went directly north, started from Chencang, and invaded Xizhou.
It can be said that Su Qi'an did this very openly. With Xizhou's preparedness, it was impossible not to know.
But Su Qi'an still did it for only one purpose.
"Surround the deserted county and save the family."
For a moment, this thought rose in the chief's heart.
Only this can explain why Su Qi'an gathered such a large army to go north.
It can even be said that as early as a month ago, before the Xiacang war started, Su Qi'an had the foresight to counterattack Xizhou from Chencang in the north.
"If this is really the case, then this Dongshan Hou is not simple." The chief thought in his heart.
At this moment, the voice of the two elders suddenly sounded in his ears, and the two elders came to him without knowing when.
"Hey, it's a little early to be shocked. If I tell you that Mr. Su's idea was already being planned before he left Xizhou, you will be shocked."
The chief's face was startled, and he was obviously frightened by Er Er's words. He left Xizhou three years ago.
Three years ago, we planned today three years later. Isn’t this thinking too far ahead and giving people a sense of whimsy?
"Old immortal, let me ask you, what kind of person is this Dongshan Hou." The chief suddenly spoke.
Elder Er Er pretended to smile mysteriously and said softly, "Mr. Su, he is a very remarkable person."
The chief was obviously not very satisfied with this ambiguous answer. Just as he was about to continue asking, the elder Er Er's smile faded and he spoke with some admiration.
"Old immortal, you will know what kind of person Mr. Su is in the future. Of course, Mr. Su is very amazing, but not that amazing. The plan he made three years ago was indeed for today."
"As for what happened today, neither you nor I are of any importance in Mr. Su's heart. We can only be regarded as minor episodes in Mr. Su's plan."
"I can only say that Xizhou Mu Tang Feng made the worst decision in his life by offending Mr. Tang Feng. Watch carefully. Tang Feng will definitely lose this battle."
The great chief's eyes flashed, and he thoughtfully digested the words of the two elders, and finally watched the two elders leave.
After the huge team set off so quickly, it took less than an hour to reach the northern border of Jiaozhou, the military town of Chencang County.
At this time, Chencang County City had already made preparations to cross the north and go deep into Manghuang County. Now it was just waiting for Su Qi'an's order.
Su Qi'an stood in front of the mighty army, looking around the state and looking at the many soldiers who were ready to go.
He didn't waste any words and just said simply, "Everyone, three years of preparation is just for today."
, crossed Manghuang County and fought back to Xizhou. "
"Cross the wilderness and fight back to Xizhou!"
The overwhelming voices suddenly gathered together, and then, under the command of Su Qi'an, the entire army marched toward Manghuang County in front of them in formation.
The Ming Xiu plank road a month ago came into play at this time.
Those rugged and uneven mountain roads and damaged plank roads were quickly repaired at an astonishing speed under the operation of the advanced engineering troops.
A month ago, it was ridiculed, destroyed, destroyed and built again, built and destroyed again. Now the construction of the plank road has long been in the mind of every engineer. It is called a proficiency.
Even the damage in every place was clearly remembered by them. Under this practice, the mighty army walked through the repaired plank road and marched towards Manghuang County.
The strange thing about crossing the plank road this time was that the Xizhou soldiers on guard on the opposite side had no intention of blocking them.
It seems that the passes and checkpoints on the opposite side are all decorations and no people.
Of course, this is not because Xizhou soldiers have good intentions and tacitly agree that Su Qi'an and the others have entered Xizhou territory.
But when Xie Cang and Chen Dao took their respective troops and sneaked into the opposite Manghuang County, they had already killed all the people who were left on guard.
Those who were not killed were replaced by their own people by the local county magistrate through transfer orders.
This is why Su Qi'an said that there are people of his own in Manghuang County.
There are seven counties under Manghuang County, and there are three counties responsible for defending Chencang County.
And it was precisely these three counties that were more or less favored by Su Qi'an before he was driven out of Xizhou.
Back then, Suji Trading Company was very large in Xizhou, occupying half of the shops in Xizhou, which was no exaggeration at all.
The county governor and magistrate of Xizhou had a romantic relationship with Su Qi'an at that time.
But as the old saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. After the Xizhou Incident and the destruction of Su Ji Trading Company, the only one who really extended a helping hand to Su Qi'an was Lingdong County Magistrate Zhou Qi.
Among the three county magistrates of Manghuang County, which borders Jiaozhou, Su Qi'an was able to escape from Manghuang. These three county magistrates worked hard.
It's just that these three people, unlike Zhou Qi, acted very cautiously, and basically had no clue about their help to Su Qi'an.
If Su Qi'an hadn't successfully left Manghuang County and entered Jiaozhou, these three people secretly sent people to contact him.
Su Qi'an suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he could leave Manghuang so smoothly. The help of these three people was not small.
With this connection, Su Qi'an, who entered Jiaozhou, had just made the plan he had made three years ago.
Of course, no one else knew about this except Su Qi'an. Even his confidants, Su Qi'an did not tell him. As top secret, this was done to protect their safety and to be the last trump card to return to Xizhou.
This matter was concealed for three years, until Su Qi'an felt that the time was right and planned to secretly assassinate Chen Cang, so he informed Xie Cang and Chen Dao of the matter.
When the two of them heard this, they were both surprised and excited. With such a hidden trump card, it really didn't take much effort for them to enter the wilderness.
Now, they can understand Su Qian's decision.
As the two secretly visited Chencang, everything went as planned. They encountered almost no obstacles and entered Manghuang County without alerting the Manghuang County Sheriff. Under the cooperation and cover of the three county magistrates.
The 20,000 soldiers assembled silently moved around behind the sight of the Manghuang County Governor, cutting off the retreat of the Barbarian Heilu. This provided strong support for the surrender of the Barbarian Heilu.
With such internal support, Xie Cang and Chen Dao did not miss this good opportunity. Before leaving, they left a supporting force in advance to take over the defense on the opposite side and support their subsequent counterattack on Xizhou.
Therefore, all the passes and checkpoints on the opposite side now are owned by their own people.
This time when the army entered Xizhou, there was no need to be sneaky like last time, but an honest and open attack on Manghuang County.
The arrival of the 60,000-strong army was a relief to the three county magistrates who silently supported and provided help to Su Qi'an.
Back then, their goodwill deeds were not only a reward for them, receiving dividends from Suji Trading Company and receiving favors, but more importantly, they were also quite dissatisfied with Tang Feng's tyranny.
In the Xizhou Incident that year, many people died, at least more than a thousand.
These people were all innocent people or businessmen, but under Tang Feng's tyranny, all of them died in the incident that year.
Su Qi'an's escape made them feel a little sympathetic, so they took the risk to help.
It was this attack that not only allowed Su Qi'an to successfully escape, but in just three years, he led an army of 60,000 under his command to counterattack Xizhou and make a comeback.
Looking at the mighty army, each of the three county magistrates' eyes widened.
Who would have thought that Dongshan Hou, who fled in embarrassment and was crushed like a dog three years ago, would come back strong in just three years.
This made the three county magistrates unable to calm down for a long time. They knew that things were going to change in Xizhou next.
But looking back, Xizhou, which was controlled by Tang Feng's high-pressure policy, has also changed.
At this time, hundreds of miles away, a war was breaking out on a desolate ground in the west.
Xizhou Mu Tang Feng, with 30,000 Xizhou soldiers and 20,000 private soldiers, is attacking the rear tribe of the barbarian Heilu with all his strength.
After all, it was a good opportunity that Tang Xiao had fought for, and Tang Feng couldn't let it go.
Under his all-out attack, about 70% of the barbarian territory roughly the size of the two counties fell into his hands. According to the current situation, it is estimated that the tribe's territory will be captured in less than an hour.
Taking this piece will trouble him and threaten him for many years.
Tang Feng looked away from the fierce battle that broke out on the front line, turned his head, and asked his confidants.
"Is there any news about the crown prince?"
The confidant shook his head, and Tang Feng sighed with a calm expression. Although he had some worries in his heart, based on his understanding of Tang Xiao and the pre-planned retreat route, there should be no accidents.
"Maybe I was delayed on the journey." Tang Feng felt relieved.
After a while, a soldier came from a distance. He was a messenger specifically responsible for contacting Tang Xiao.
The messenger didn't say anything. He quickly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Tang Feng.
Tang Feng opened the envelope and glanced around. The next moment, his indifferent expression suddenly became solemn. If you look carefully, you can see that there are faint blue veins on his forehead, and the fingers holding the envelope were clenched in an instant.
