When Liu Shengming led 30,000 elite troops to quell the war in the rear, Su Qi'an and other strange troops had long since disappeared without a trace.

Liu Shengming was sitting in the big tent, looking at the military report in his hand. His face was indifferent, and a hint of coldness gradually appeared on his face.

Liu Shengming had selfish motives for recruiting troops this time. He knew Su Qi'an in Lingbei County, but he didn't take it seriously at first.

But now the development of the situation was beyond his imagination. Liu Shengming had to pay attention to the courage and resourcefulness displayed by Su Qian.

If he couldn't deal with this person, he might cause him a lot of trouble in the future.

Prince Kushu's conversation with Liu Shengming was the biggest warning. If he couldn't make Su Qian disappear, I'm afraid it would be him who disappears next time.

Although there was some pressure, Liu Shengming was more excited. It was rare to meet an opponent here who could compete with him. This made Liu Shengming unhappy.

Only in this way can he prove his ability.

General Liu Shengming put down the report and threw the transfer order he had written in advance to his subordinates.

The 30,000-strong army that had temporarily put down the turmoil in the rear, under Liu Shengming's arrangement, began to divide their troops and investigate step by step in a company-by-camp manner.

Su Qian's two thousand people, even if they have extraordinary abilities, will eventually be dug out by Liu Shengming.

Just as the 30,000-strong army began to march and search inch by inch, at this time, the border of Qingzhou.

The wounded soldiers of Da Rong's army walked slowly towards the border of Qingzhou with the sun above their heads.

From a distance, it looked like a swimming snake with no end in sight, but it was not hard for these wounded soldiers, as they were carried by a large number of Liang people and untouchables along the way.

Many wounded soldiers were lying on bamboo chairs, looking very comfortable.

These Liang people were all local people recruited by the Qingyou Prefecture. Ku Shu went south to invade and fight this battle.

In addition to preparing food and fodder for the 150,000-strong army, at the same time, more than 100,000 people from the two states were recruited as logistics.

These cool people, their clothes are in tatters, their hair is disheveled, and their eyes that occasionally show are full of numbness.

The soldiers behind them who were on guard would occasionally take a horsewhip and whip it hard at these slave-like people, accompanied by many curses.

When the riding whip fell, blood marks immediately appeared on the backs of these Liang people, and blood seeped out. The Liang people's bodies trembled and their teeth clenched, but they did not reveal any identity and endured silently.

As for why they did not resist, the reason is very simple. After Da Rong occupied the two states of Qing and You, he adopted a policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, and centrally managed the two to three million Liang people in the two states.

Within the territory of Erzhou, auxiliary acropolis similar to the one in Ningzhou on the opposite side gradually developed. There are hundreds of such acropolis in Erzhou.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that there are at most 20,000 to 30,000 Liang people in each acropolis. Even if the Liang people rebel, they can be quickly isolated and the rebellion can be quickly suppressed.

At first, when the two states were first occupied, there were many rebellions in the two states, but with batches of suppression and the implementation of more iron-blooded policies, this trend of rebellion was gradually controlled.

As time went by, externally there was the failure of the Northern Expedition of the Great Liang, internally there was the use of Liang people like Liu Shengming to control the cold, and a more harsh system was implemented, and the trend of uprisings in the two states was completely controlled.

A very simple example, if one of these Liang people dares to rebel, and the following is committed, the village to which he belongs, as well as the three clans, will be beheaded.

This kind of continuous sitting system can immediately take advantage of the weak points of these Liang people. Everyone has family and relatives. If something happens to him, the whole nearby village will be harmed.

In this case, in order to save lives, once such signs are discovered, there is no need to take action. People nearby will report it, which is equivalent to nipping this danger in the cradle immediately.

This system of sitting together is Liu Shengming's masterpiece. With this, Liu Shengming was valued by Ku Shu, and he repeatedly displayed his abilities in the subsequent wars against Great Liang.

Therefore, even if the number of civilians responsible for logistics is thousands more than the wounded soldiers, these veterans are not worried at all that someone will dare to take action.

Among this group of civilians, there was a leader. Although his hair was disheveled and he looked dirty, his eyes were full of flattery.

Along the way, he took great care of an injured veteran captain. He looked after him with care and concern, even more so than taking care of his own parents.

The honorable soldier captain enjoyed the service these days and said to the civilian leader.

"Xiao Anzi, you did a good job. You are more discerning than those untouchables. When we enter the city, we will definitely reward you."

"Well done, well done. Thank you for your cultivation. The little one's admiration for the big man is like a surging river. As long as the big man says a word, the little one will go through fire and water without hesitation."

The captain took great advantage of the civilian leader's compliments and nodded with satisfaction.

Some of the people nearby looked at this scene. Although their expressions did not change much, there was a kind of disgust in their eyes.

Obviously, he dislikes this kind of bad-legged people, but he can't show it.

Hundreds of wounded soldiers, supported by thousands of civilians, arrived at Taning City, an acropolis on the border of Qingzhou, in about three days.

The name of this acropolis, as the name suggests, is to conquer Ningzhou in one fell swoop. This ambition is undisguised.

Taning City is small in size, about the same as a county town. The city wall is not high, but it is very thick. There are traces of being attacked by catapults on the khaki walls.

Even after so long, the mark is still clearly visible.

The wounded soldiers and civilians entered the city smoothly without any accidents.

The roads in the city are rudimentary, basically gravel roads. There are not many shops on both sides, but there are countless cool people with disheveled hair, like slaves, huddled in disheveled clothes.

In front of them, there was a sign hanging, with prices ranging from 10 taels for young adults to 1 to 50 taels for women and children.

Some honorable men were shouting incessantly. At first glance, there was no end in sight for slave traders like this. The honorable soldiers patrolling back and forth walked through the middle with indifferent expressions.

It seems that this scene is very loose and ordinary.

But this scene made Su Qi'an, who was dressed up as a civil servant leader, quite shocked.

He had thought about how miserable the Qing and Liang people in You Erzhou were when they were occupied by Da Rong, but when he saw all this, he was deeply touched in his heart.

At this time, Captain Rongbing, who had been comfortably served by Su Qi'an all the way, shouted.

"Xiao Anzi, don't look at it. They are just a group of slaves. These untouchables do not deserve sympathy. You are different from them. You will go back to your hometown with me. If you have the opportunity in the future, I will let you buy a few to make you comfortable."

Su Qi'an came back to his senses, nodded quickly, and expressed gratitude to the honorary captain with a flattering look on his face.

Then, Su Qi'an quickly followed the Rongbing Captain and left.

This is Su Qi'an's biggest purpose. He not only wants to burn down the granary of Kushu, but also goes deep into the hinterland and enters Qingzhou, taking this opportunity to cause some big things.

In order to enter Qingzhou smoothly, Su Qi'an and others lurked in the desert for three days.

For three days, he evaded countless reconnaissance scouts, but fortunately, wounded soldiers from Dae Jung's army finally arrived.

In this battle, both sides suffered countless casualties. The dead soldiers will be gathered together, and the injured and disabled will be evacuated to Qingzhou as soon as possible and treated in time.

Su Qian's idea was to evacuate the wounded soldiers. He pretended to be a civilian and successfully penetrated a group of wounded soldiers.

After all, who among the hundreds of thousands of civilians could recognize each one clearly? With Su Qian and others who have been fighting in the rear for a long time, looking gray and thin, who would have thought that this group of so-called civilians would actually be a large number of people.

Where are the cool soldiers?

When did the soldiers of Da Liang become so courageous that they dare to enter Qingzhou, which belongs to Da Rong? If you say this, you will be laughed to death.

Before blending into the civilian team, Su Qian's nearly two thousand soldiers were broken into pieces and divided into a very long team of ten or twenty people.

Everything was improvised, and finally we waited for Su Qi'an's order to start an uprising.

Su Qi'an's dozen or so "civilian men" trotted all the way and followed the retired captain to his mansion.

The city lord of Tanin City is a retired deputy general, but due to urgent recruitment, this deputy general led some civilians to undertake logistics tasks half a month ago.

Today, the most important person in the city is the Honored Soldier Captain.

The mansion he lives in is about the same size as the Lingbei County Government Office. The mansion is very empty, and all that comes into view is a martial arts training ground.

There were countless weapons placed around him. It seemed that this honorable soldier captain was not the kind of person who cultivates sentiments.

After entering the mansion, Su Qi'an and a dozen other civilians entered the side room under the arrangement of several honorable soldiers, boiled a bucket of water, washed up, and changed into relatively clean clothes.

He quickly handed it over to the housekeeper and started making arrangements.

As for the honorary captain, his injuries were not serious. He simply cleaned his wounds and changed into a clean outfit. After almost an hour or two, he summoned Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an knelt on the ground obediently. The Honorable Soldier Captain sitting above him glanced at Su Qi'an and suddenly said.

"Xiao Anzi, you must not be a citizen of Taning City, right?"

Just with these words, Su Qian's face changed drastically, and he quickly knelt down on the ground, looking nervous and his voice trembling.

"Back to... Sir, you are indeed very discerning. The younger one is indeed not from Taning City, but from Fancheng next door. Just because he couldn't survive and wanted to beg for food, he pretended to be a common man. I hope you will forgive me."

Seeing Su Qi'an like this, Captain Rongbing laughed loudly and said, "Haha, this Captain is indeed right. Xiao Anzi, you don't have to be so nervous. I see that you speak well. You must have read some books. Now

There is an opportunity in front of you, it depends on whether you can seize it."

"Sir, no matter what you say, as long as the little one can be used, the little one will do his best." Su Qian said sincerely.

The retired captain was very satisfied with Su Qi'an's actions. He waved his hand, and Su Qi'an was very understanding and took a few steps forward.

Captain Rongbing said something, and Su Qian stayed in the room for half an hour. The door opened and he finally left.
