After the three counties of Sichuandu, Guangyang and Yongan were captured, Su Qi'an issued an order. Within one day, three armies immediately gathered in Sichuandu County and marched with him to Xizhou City.
After receiving the order, everyone gathered their troops as quickly as possible and headed towards Sichuandu County.
Not all the troops were assembled for this operation. The indigenous troops in Guangyang and Yong'an were left behind, and Su Qian's Dongshan Army was dispatched.
This time when troops were assembled to attack Xizhou City, only the three divisions of the Dongshan Army suffered casualties in their counterattack against the 60,000-strong army assembled in Xizhou.
Now there are only about 40,000 people left, and the Dongshan Army accounts for about 60-70%.
In this battle, Su Qi'an's side still suffered casualties, but compared to Tang Feng's side, nearly 60,000 Xizhou soldiers were defeated in one fell swoop at the cost of 20,000 casualties.
This record is enough to be proud of.
The Dongshan Army was dispatched this time not because they distrusted the indigenous troops, but to preserve their strength.
On the other hand, Xizhou City has high walls and thick walls, so it is possible to use the main force to clear the way.
It happened that the indigenous troops stayed in the three counties to stabilize the situation in the three counties, which made Su Qi'an feel more at ease.
In addition to the Dongshan Army, Xie Cang's Split Mountain Army was naturally dispatched this time.
The 10,000-strong Mountain Splitting Army had two to three thousand casualties. The combined strength of both sides could reach more than 30,000 people.
These more than 30,000 people were the absolute main force. Su Qi'an was ready for a hard fight in the decisive battle in Xizhou City.
The news was quickly sent to the remaining defenders in the three counties. As the two most prestigious elders in the indigenous army, they naturally knew that this was a heavy responsibility.
The priests who were on this expedition were summoned immediately, held a meeting quickly, and quickly designated a complete plan to avoid any trouble in the three counties.
And immediately rushed to Sichuandu County. No matter who captured the three counties, they could not change the core status of Sichuandu County.
Before setting off, Su Qi'an had already said hello to Zhou Qi and Qin Huai, asking them to pick up the two elders. When the two elders arrived at Sichuandu County, all matters in the three counties would be discussed by the three of them.
The two elders had just left Guangyang County with the people and were about to set off. On the back, the chief and several chiefs quickly ran over.
The old man was startled. As the war started, he forgot that there were so many onlookers along the way.
The elder Er Er didn't say anything, but waved to several people to get in the car and go to Sichuan Capital with him.
Before the war started, Su Qi'an told him that he would be in charge of the chief and several others.
In this war, they were just spectators and did not participate in anything else.
The chief has the consciousness of not interrupting, not speaking, and acting as a bystander.
At this moment, Er Er almost forgot about them.
Although they were just spectators in this battle, what they saw along the way shocked the great chief deeply.
He had been the chief for so many years, and he had not seen any officials, but Su Qi'an, the Marquis of Dongshan, shocked him.
If nothing else, he led an army to invade Xizhou. Even though Xizhou was his hometown, under Tang Feng's rule, Su Qi'an's influence should have been wiped out long ago.
But with Su Qi'an's return, things that had disappeared suddenly appeared like mushrooms after a rain.
The so-called invasion has become a kind of savior, which really makes him a little confused.
He didn't understand why Su Qi'an had such a huge influence wherever he went. Not only were his soldiers willing to sacrifice their lives for him, but the local people also seemed to welcome him.
Only the local officials had the urge to hate him. It could be said that there were too many things that the chief did not understand.
Gradually, he became quite interested in Su Qi'an.
The chief didn't even need to speak, but the two elders, who had been bitter rivals for many years, could guess at least one person just by looking at them.
"Old guy, what you have seen and heard during this period is more incomprehensible than what you have seen in the past few years, right?"
Even if it is pointed out in the heart by the two elders
As he thought, the chief did not argue.
The old man smiled and said, "Hey, old guy, don't worry, you will gain a lot if we come out together this time."
"Then I'll lend you some good words, but old guy, are you going too far in praising Dongshan Hou so much? I'd like to remind you, don't be fooled into being used as a pawn someday."
The chief's words were enough to illustrate his inner conflict. What he saw and heard along the way really made him curious about Su Qi'an. He was also very grateful to Su Qi'an for counterattacking Manghuang County and giving his clan a breather.
But this didn't mean that the chief was unprepared for Su Qi'an. In his heart, he always felt that Su Qi'an was just using them as pawns.
Use it when you need it, throw it away when you don't need it. It's impossible for him to kneel down and lick Su Qi'an like the two elders, at least for now.
The old man's smile instantly faded, he looked at the chief seriously and said.
"Old guy, I know what you want to say, but I want to say that you underestimate Mr. Su's situation too much."
"Don't be unconvinced. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's just talk about this time. Mr. Su led the Dongshan Army and the Split Mountain Army to attack Xizhou City. What do you think will be the fate of Tang Feng if Xizhou City is captured?"
The great chief sneered, shook his head and said, "Of course it is to capture the prisoner and exchange him for the greatest value, such as clan land, his private property and so on. This is to maximize the benefits."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the two elders revealed a strong sense of ridicule, and he looked at the great chief and said.
"Humph, old guy, this is just your opinion. Maximize your interests. Your understanding of Mr. Su is not even close to that of this elder."
"Old guy, just say what you want, what kind of personal attack? If you had the foresight, how could you lose to the Marquis of Dongshan? You are not worthy of teaching me a lesson here."
"Why, if you capture Tang Feng and keep him as a prisoner, can't you kill him directly?"
The last words of the two elders immediately made the chief furious. He sputtered a lot when he blurted out the last words.
The two elders who were supposed to be quarreling with him were surprisingly silent and looked at him with a smile on their face.
This smile suddenly made the chief's hair stand on end. He seemed to have thought of something, his face became stiff, and he finally said hesitantly.
"Is it difficult...does Marquis Dongshan really dare to kill Tang Feng?"
The two elders gave a meaningful look, and then whispered, "We will wait and see."
This moment made the chief's mind go blank. Does Su Qian really have the guts to kill Zhou Mu?
Although he is a barbarian, he has dealt with Liang people too much. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a know-it-all who is familiar with Liang people.
He knew very well that the price paid for killing Zhou Mu was not ordinary, and even being executed was considered light.
The state pastor not only represents himself, but also is the spokesperson of today's society in each state.
Su Qi'an captured Jiaozhou and fought with Jiaozhou Mu, but in the end it only forced Li Kang to commit suicide, but he did not take the initiative.
On the surface, there is no difference between being forced to commit suicide by siege and taking action. In the end, Zhou Mu was still killed.
But there are too many things worth talking about, and with Li Kang being found guilty of various serious crimes afterwards, Su Qi'an's actions seem somewhat reasonable.
In this way, Su Qi'an gained a good reputation of sharing His Majesty's worries and eliminating traitors.
But this time, if Su Qi'an really killed Tang Feng directly, it would be enough to warrant his death penalty.
Su Qi'an would actually do such a stupid thing that puts himself in danger? This makes the chief really incomprehensible.
This kind of incomprehension may only solve his doubts when the war in Xizhou City is over.
If Su Qi'an dared to kill Zhou Mu, apart from anything else, he already had the potential to be a hero.
It's just that we don't know how far he can go. He may go very far, or he may die prematurely. Everything is unknown. We can only depend on his destiny.
On the other side, after the Dongshan Army and the Split Mountain Army gathered, under the leadership of Su Qi'an, they
After half a day's work, we arrived at Xizhou City in the rear.
Unlike Tang Feng's three days of panic and hiding all the way, the departure of the army this time can be said to be surprisingly smooth.
There is no obstruction along the way. It can only be said to be the most stupid thing to dare to send troops to intercept and ambush at this time.
After the three-county war, the regrouped Dongshan Army and Split Mountain Army could feel a strong evil spirit along the way.
That kind of evil spirit mixed with thick blood, those who are weak-minded will not dare to take a look at it from a distance.
These people looked like they had broken out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Not to mention that they all looked like gods of death, but they were not much different.
Anyone who dares to seek death and ambush this group of people can only say that he did not die quickly enough.
After half a day of traveling, the 30,000 most powerful troops assembled finally arrived outside Xizhou City, less than 200 feet away.
From a distance, everyone saw that Xizhou City was still the Xizhou City of the past, and it did not appear to be heavily guarded due to the arrival of Su Qi'an's army.
On the contrary, what it usually looks like is what it looks like now.
The city gate was closed tightly, and there was a row of soldiers standing on the city tower. It seemed that they could not feel the tension of the soldiers on the city tower at all.
It was as if they didn't know that Su Qi'an would lead his army to attack the city. Seeing this scene, Su Yong, Song Biao, and Chen felt confused for a while.
The three people stepped forward and asked Su Qi'an to join them. They wanted to lead an army to test and see if they were planning some empty city strategy.
But the three people's proposal was rejected by Su Qian, because he had seen Tang Feng's figure on the tower from a distance.
It seemed that he had been waiting for Su Qi'an for a long time.
For Tang Feng to appear here so calmly, he must have made all preparations. Any temptation at this time would be of no use.
Now that Tang Feng had made preparations, Su Qi'an did not intend to hide it. With an order, the 30,000-strong army was dispatched.
As the 30,000-strong army was dispatched, a murderous aura soared into the sky, quickly approaching Xizhou City. In such a way, even the sky above them became a little dark.
At the same time, the 30,000 troops approaching Xizhou City shouted, "Xizhou Mu Tang Feng, get out of the city and die!"
