Suide County of Pizhou has seven counties under its jurisdiction, seven county towns and one county capital city.

Among the seven county towns, except for the important border town of Xuanyang City, which was stationed with the front and rear guards of the Huaide Army, the other six county towns were each stationed with one or two brigades of the north and south guards of the Huaide Army.

When Prince Yong'an Chen Su led his army into Suide County, the generals of the northern and southern guards of the Huaide Army, impressed by Prince Yong'an's reputation as the invincible war god of Daliang, all chose to open the city and surrender readily.

In addition, the Guangwu Town sent by Prince Yong'an to Xuanyang City incorporated the vanguard and rear guard of the Huaide Army without bloodshed, leaving the Wang family of Quan'an City, which had dominated Suide County for decades, with only the isolated city of Quan'an City and the left and right guards of the Huaide Army.

If nothing unexpected had happened, the Wang family of Quan'an City would have been doomed this time, but an unexpected situation happened.

"Bang——"

Yong'an Prince Chen Su slammed his fist on the table, "Xu Guangru deserves to be killed!"

It turned out that the barbarians in Yizhou in the southwest, led by several chieftains, once again raised the banner of rebellion because of the heavy taxation and extortion by Yizhou Mu Xu Guangru.

It quickly received responses from the barbarians in several other states in the southwest, and even some savage tribes participated.

Barbarians is a general term for all mountain ethnic groups living in the millions of mountains in the southwest.

The Million Mountains are extremely vast, covering an area of ten thousand miles. It took the State of Liang more than three hundred years to occupy less than one twentieth of the Million Mountains.

In just this less than one twentieth of the million-square-meter mountain range, there live hundreds of barbaric tribes with a total population of over ten million.

These barbarians who surrendered to the State of Liang were often called cooked barbarians. The leaders of their tribes would be granted hereditary chieftainship by the court of the State of Liang. The barbarians in the millions of mountains who had not yet surrendered to the State of Liang were called raw barbarians.

At present, the barbarian rebels have captured many counties in the southwest region. The Liang court had no choice but to urgently summon Prince Yong'an back to the capital and prepare to send Prince Yong'an to lead the imperial guards to the southwest region to quell the rebellion.

Cheng Shijun, the commander of the Xingwu Town Imperial Guard, hesitated for a moment and said to Yong'an Prince Chen Su, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid we don't have time to completely eliminate the Wang family of Quan'an City.

I suggest we have a serious discussion with the Wang family of Quan'an City."

Yong'an Prince Chen Su gritted his teeth and said, "The news of the rebellion of the southwestern barbarians must be strictly suppressed by me. Anyone who dares to spread this news will be punished by military law!

Immediately send someone to inform Wang Lian that I will meet him face to face outside the city at 3:30 PM tomorrow morning."

At this moment, dozens of generals from the imperial guards and Ganyang Army gathered in the tent of Yong'an King Chen Su. Among them, Sun Zhe was the most depressed.

Because of the recommendation of Cao Tingjin, the Grand Commander of Ganyang Protectorate, Yong'an King Chen Su decided to appoint Sun Zhe as the new Commander of Huaide Protectorate after settling the Wang family of Quan'an City.

Moreover, Prince Yong'an Chen Su has authorized Sun Zhe to begin reorganizing the surrendered Huaide Army's front and rear guards and the north and south guards.

Now Sun Zhe was just one step away from becoming the Grand Commander of Huaide Protectorate, but something like this happened.

However, the next words of Yong'an King Chen Su immediately turned Sun Zhe's worries into joy.

"Sun Zhe, I will select another group of soldiers from the Guangwu Town, Xingwu Town, and Yingwu Town of the Imperial Army and hand them over to you.

In addition, you can also select more familiar soldiers from the Ganyang Army's Left Guard and incorporate them into the Huaide Army's front and back guards and the north and south guards.

After this king leads his army away, whether Suide County can remain the Suide County of the imperial court depends entirely on you!"

Sun Hao was in the military camp of the Ganyang City Guard that day, watching the new recruits training.

Deputy Governor Geng Jing suddenly came over in a hurry, "General, there's the latest news from Quan'an City.

The Wang family saved the left and right guards of the Huaide Army and paid 10 million strings of cash as military compensation to Prince Yong'an.

Wang Lian was demoted to the deputy governor of Huaide Protectorate, and your father was promoted to the grand governor of Huaide Protectorate. The seat of Huaide Protectorate will be moved to Xuanyang City.

Quan'an City will still belong to the Wang family, but the Wang family will pay one million strings of cash in military expenses to the Huaide Protectorate every year."

Upon hearing this, Sun Hao immediately asked, "Brother Geng, has something happened?

Given Prince Yong'an's character, he wouldn't let the Wang family of Quan'an City go so easily."

Geng Jing lowered his voice and said, "General, the barbarians in the southwest have rebelled again. The court has summoned Prince Yong'an to lead his army back to the capital immediately. It seems that Prince Yong'an will have to quell this rebellion of the barbarians in the southwest."

Sun Hao secretly complained: He is worthy of being the paperhanger from Daliang.

The paperhanger was the nickname Luo Xuan gave to Prince Yong'an.

Luo Xuan compared the entire Liang State to a house. She believed that if Prince Yong'an had not patched up the leaky windows of the house, Liang State might have ceased to exist long ago.

Sun Hao sighed and said, "With Prince Yong'an's departure, I'm afraid our plan to march westward to attack the Gule Kingdom will be impossible to achieve."

Geng Jing sighed and said, "Having missed this opportunity during the civil unrest in Gulue, I don't know how many years Daliang will have to wait before establishing the Western Regions Protectorate."

Just when Sun Hao and Geng Jing were still expressing their feelings to each other, Cao Tingjin, the Grand Commander of Ganyang Protectorate, sent someone to deliver an urgent order from Prince Yong'an, asking Sun Hao and Geng Jing to ride fast horses and rush to the imperial guards camp outside Quan'an City immediately. Prince Yong'an wanted to summon them both before leaving.

After receiving the order, Sun Hao and Geng Jing did not dare to delay. They hurriedly took some of their family soldiers and rode straight towards Quan'an City.

Ganyang City is about seven hundred miles away from Quan'an City. Sun Hao, Geng Jing and others were equipped with three war horses that they could take turns riding, so they were moving very fast.

We left Ganyang City on the afternoon of October 16th and arrived at the imperial guards camp outside Quan'an City the next morning.
