The words of the second commander not only made him clean, but also turned against King Yu's army.
As long as King Yu takes the opportunity to punish them, it will be difficult for him to be such a laid-back prince in the future. They will gain quite a lot from this attack.
I didn't expect to catch such a big fish. After their operation, King Yu will definitely be watched by the court. With this information, the status of the two in Zhongzhou will not rise. Thinking of this, the hearts of the two commanders were filled with excitement. Called a chuckle.
King Yu's eyes flashed. He had underestimated the second commander. With just a few words, he had forced him to retreat to this level.
But King Yu's face was calm, without any panic. Just when he was about to say something, Su Qian's voice suddenly sounded faintly.
"Haha, what the two commanders said makes sense. I agree with this truth. Since it is a misunderstanding, let's just forget about it."
Lao Ji looked at her with a look of surprise in his eyes. He didn't understand why Su Qi'an said such words, but he didn't stop him. Based on his contact with Su Qi'an during this time, he knew that Su Qi'an was not a simple person.
The two commanders also looked surprised at Su Qian's words, looking up and down with a bit of amazement.
Su Qi'an smiled and continued unhurriedly, "Today's matter is a misunderstanding and has nothing to do with the two commanders. But I think there is no misunderstanding among the bandits who ambushed us, right?"
"Well, in order to set an example and serve as a warning to other bandits in Zhongzhou, I'll just kill them all. I think you guys don't have any objections."
King Yu touched his beard, nodded slightly, and instantly realized what Su Qian'an meant, and said softly, "Well, I think this matter can be handled this way. I wonder if the two commanders agree?"
The expressions of the two commanders changed, and they looked at Prince Yu and Su Qi'an with a bit of embarrassment, obviously with some hesitation.
If they were bandits from other areas, they would be killed, but these bandits in front of them were not ordinary people, but thugs they had raised in Beishan County.
The usual dirty, tiring, and shameful tasks are all handled by these people. For them, in addition to doing shameful things, these people are also good thugs for them to win the hearts of Beishan County. .
Every time there is a major banditry in Beishan County that disrupts the lives of local people, they need to take action. However, the planning behind this kind of action is none other than them.
To be able to establish a foothold in Beishan County and gain support from local people in so many years, these bandits are indispensable.
Originally, according to their plan, this time in the name of suppressing bandits, they would wipe out Su Qi'an's caravan and these bandits. When they were imprisoned, they could just find any excuse to let these thugs go.
Not only can he catch the big fish of King Yu's caravan, but he can also give an explanation to the people of Beishan County.
But who knew that this young man with unknown origins and such good eloquence would be so ruthless in the beginning. If these bandits are taken away, it will be like draining the bottom of the cauldron and a big blow to them.
Rather than saying that Su Qi'an had a vicious vision and cruel attacks, it would be better to say that Su Qi'an had seen through the two commanders' plans from the beginning.
Using bandits to act in order to achieve one's own goals, Su Qi'an is not only the originator of this method, it can be said that it is all leftover from his past.
The moment the bandits appeared, Su Qian had some guesses in her mind, but she was not sure yet. When the two commanders of the Beishan Camp appeared here at the same time, one after the other, everything became so obvious.
What is the identity of the commander of Beishan Camp? Even if a county guard saw it, he would have to give him a lot of face, let alone two commanders suddenly appearing in this small area of land.
Moreover, they are the two most powerful commanders in the camp. If this is a coincidence, who can believe it?
For a small bandit suppression mission, two commanders were dispatched, which was really overkill.
Since the reason why the second commander was so stubborn was because of the informant, then Su Qi'an simply followed his wishes, which must be a misunderstanding.
Since it was a misunderstanding, it has nothing to do with the two commanders, and the subsequent handling of the land will be a matter of business.
Su Qi'an's move really made the two commanders look hesitant. King Yu on the side saw this and said with a smile.
"Oh? Judging from the looks of the two commanders, they seem to be very unwilling. I wonder if the two commanders have any other good ways to deal with it?"
When asked, the two commanders shook their heads, clasped their fists and said, "Prince Yu, you are worrying too much. Bandits attacking civilians will be punished by death, let alone attacking the royal family. They should be punished for their crimes. Everything will be done according to Prince Yu's wishes. "
At this juncture, no matter how stupid the two commanders were, they would not be able to refuse.
If you intercede on behalf of the bandits, you will never be able to clean them completely. Although I am very reluctant to let these thugs be cleaned up like this, for the sake of my own safety, I can only do this at the moment.
"Well, you are worthy of being the commander of the Beishan Camp. I am really happy. Don't worry. After this matter is over, I will definitely ask Prince Yu to let the imperial court reward you two."
"The two commanders contributed a lot to suppressing the bandits this time. The imperial court will definitely not forget the merits of these two people. Why are they still standing there? They will kill them all according to the wishes of the two commanders."
Su Qi'an's voice was loud, as if he was speaking to someone on purpose, and the voice clearly reached every bandit's ears.
The bodyguards behind him stepped forward with swords in their hands without saying a word, intending to finish off these helpless bandits.
Seeing the many escorts approaching step by step, the faces of these bandits changed wildly. They wanted to resist, but they seemed to have received some kind of warning, which made some of them dare not take any action.
This kind of warning may be useful for a small number of people, a dozen or more dozens of people, but for a full number of more than two hundred bandits, looking at the approach of the machete, it obviously has little effect.
When the escort was closest to them, less than two or three feet away, several bandits finally couldn't bear the danger of death and stood up suddenly, shouting.
"Master, brothers, are you still so stupid? We have obviously been bought by others. We are the scapegoats. If we don't resist at this time, are we really going to become the dead souls of some people?"
Someone took the lead, and naturally someone else stood up and responded, "You're right. When we are used, we have value. We are no longer needed. We are just abandoned children who can be thrown away at will. Brothers, after working for these dogs in the Beishan camp for so many years, Is it worth it? Brothers, in order to survive, rush."
This response, like the wind, swept across instantly, and even their boss, the bandit leader, found it difficult to suppress it.
The main reason for this resistance is the inner fear of death.
No matter who it is, they will be afraid when they really face death. No matter how many promises they made before, when death comes, most people will still betray because of fear.
The shouts of these bandits, especially the last few sentences, directly pointed out the mastermind behind them. Now, the two commanders could not sit still.
With a cold look on his face, he shouted loudly, "You bastards, you bandits, you are looking for death by pouring dirty water on us."
"The entire army obeys my order and will use all its strength to encircle and suppress these bandits. No one will be spared and no one will be spared."
The moment the two commanders spoke, at the same time, they held their bows and arrows, and shot out an arrow, directly killing the person who was leading the trouble and shouting the most fiercely.
Immediately afterwards, the two sides started a fierce battle in front of Su Qi'an and King Yu.
The soldiers of the Beishan Camp were arrogant, but they had the confidence to be arrogant. In this fierce battle, only about a hundred soldiers were dispatched out of the three thousand.
Although the bandits clamored loudly and resisted fiercely, they were still defeated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the end it directly resulted in a one-sided massacre.
This kind of massacre lasted for half an hour. When the fighting stopped, all the bandits who had just made a move and made noise were dead without exception.
On this official road, blood flowed into a river in an instant. Bodies were lying on the ground in random directions, with no heads visible at a glance. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The soldiers of the Beishan Camp who took action were like bloody men. Their black armors were dyed red, and they could no longer tell whether it was the blood of the bandits or their own.
They were standing among the corpses on the ground, holding large knives, and they felt like murderers.
this
After a fierce battle, the two commanders were naturally among those who took action, although they were not covered in blood like their soldiers.
But there was still a strong murderous look on his face, and his eyes were scanning, and for a while, his soldiers did not dare to look at him.
After easily dealing with these bandits, the first commander and the second commander looked at each other, and then slowly fell on the expressions of Su Qi'an and Prince Yu.
Their expressions were indifferent, and no emotional changes could be seen. The only thing they had was the pervasive murderous intention.
Upon seeing this, Tong Zhan and other bodyguards stood consciously next to Su Qi'an and Prince Yu, holding the sword tightly in their hands. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the dense forest became a little strange.
The cold wind was blowing, and some of the soldiers from the Beishan Camp further outside were holding reins and tightening their horse ropes, some were holding broadswords tightly, and some were holding bow ropes in place.
It felt like a war was going to break out between the two sides at any time. To be honest, the comparison of the strength of the two sides was three thousand to one thousand, and there was also a big gap in weapons.
Most of Su Qi'an's side only had broadswords, shields, and a small number of crossbows. It was not that they could not be equipped with better ones, but they were disguised as caravans. Some good weapons could not be carried, so they could only be lightweight.
The three thousand soldiers brought out by the commander-in-chief this time were not only wearing armor, but also had many useful weapons. If the two sides really fought, Su Qi'an and King Yu would most likely lose.
Even if they can win, they will probably have to pay a lot of casualties, and there is no guarantee that Su Qi'an and Prince Yu will have a chance to escape alive.
As time passed by, the atmosphere on both sides became colder and colder. As a battle broke out between the two sides, suddenly, the first and second commanders made a move that was beyond everyone present.
The two of them stared at Su Qi'an and Prince Yu for a long time, then put down their weapons, half-knelt on the ground, and clasped their fists.
"Prince Yu was frightened by this rebellion. I hope you will forgive me."
