All the way back to Shicheng, when he came to the city gate, he saw a eunuch sitting on a tall horse from a distance. Flash Dance 35xs

The eunuch was in his forties, dressed in fine brocade, holding the decree in one hand, his shriveled face looking a little displeased, and his mouse-like eyes looked at everything around him with disgust.

Behind him were two rows of accompanying guards, all with serious expressions, standing like Iron King Kong, full of momentum.

Fang Ling recognized it at a glance, this eunuch's name was Ma Ken, he was Judd's subordinate, and he was also the fourth or fifth figure in the Internal Affairs Mansion, and he was also a member of the Song Empress faction, and he did not bully the queen mother and himself back then.

Before leaving the palace three years ago, Judd was killed by Fang Ling because he witnessed Fang Ling rescuing Xiao Xue, and it is estimated that this guy has also been promoted to a higher level.

As soon as he saw Fang Ling and the others coming, Ma Ken jumped off his horse slowly, and said loudly: "King Shicheng takes the order!"

Fang Ling and the others immediately bowed down, and Ma Ken said loudly: "By Your Majesty's holy order, the eight kings are in chaos, and the people's livelihood is complaining, Your Majesty, in order to protect the peace of the world, specially ordered the king of Shicheng to lead the troops of a country to Qingzuka City, an important town on the border of Dingzhou, to assist the garrison to resist the army of the king of Yizhou, and to correct discipline!"

Fang Ling thanked him in his mouth, but he sneered in his heart, even Mo Xiang expected that King Qin's matter would definitely involve him, how could he not think of it? The matter of going to Dingzhou had long been expected, he had also heard of this Qingzun City, and knew that it was a dangerous place, it seemed that Empress Song couldn't wait to send herself to the front line, waiting to let herself be cannon fodder.

At the same time, he was a little ridiculed of his father, who had only met once at the prince's wedding, although I don't know if he was so worried about himself that he was afraid of his rebellion, but one thing was certain, he couldn't withstand the wind in the ears of Queen Song.

He raised his head and pretended to smile bitterly: "Grandpa Ma, this ...... Is it really Your Majesty's will?"

Seeing Fang Ling's nervous appearance, Ma Ken couldn't help but smile in his heart, although this orphan and widow fled to the north to settle down, but how could she escape from the palm of Queen Song, Queen Song blew the pillow wind in front of Her Majesty, this King of Shicheng was only afraid that he was going to see the King of Hades, he said with a straight face: "The holy decree is said by His Majesty himself, and his subordinates wrote it himself, how can it be fake? The rebellion of the Eight Kings not only disrupted the imperial court's program, but also disturbed the people's livelihood, and brought disaster to the country and the people. FlashDance 35xs"

Of course, Fang Ling knew that once the holy decree arrived, it was a certain number whether he would go or not. However, he couldn't make a relaxed appearance, in case Queen Song played a few tricks on herself on the front line, it would be impossible to prevent it, so he said with a bitter face: "Gonggong Ma, of course this king also wants to share his worries for His Majesty, but you have also seen it along the way, my vassal state is already small, and the refugees from the south are coming all the way, and the city and outside the city are overcrowded, and there are a lot of government affairs every day, and now I have to lead troops to go out on the expedition, which is really worrying." ”

Of course, Ma Ken saw the situation of many refugees in Shicheng Country along the way, and he couldn't help but gloat, hearing him complain like this, he felt even more happy, and continued to say with a straight face: "Your Highness is only thinking about your Shicheng Kingdom, but what Your Majesty is thinking about is the entire Chu Kingdom, as a prince, Your Highness should give up your small family for everyone, otherwise if it reaches Your Majesty's ears, won't it make Your Majesty unhappy?"

Fang Ling sneered when he heard this, he didn't have to think about Empress Song's thoughts, and sent his henchman Ma Ken over, one is to observe the recent situation of Shicheng Kingdom, the other is to observe himself, and the third is naturally to lose no time in slandering himself in front of his father, even if he raises the whole country's troops and enthusiastically goes to King Qin, he is afraid that when Ma Ken goes back, he will inevitably say bad things about himself.

He sighed helplessly and said: "That king understands, I will prepare soldiers, horses, grain and grass in the past few days, and prepare to go on the expedition." ”

Seeing his helpless look, Ma Ken said arrogantly: "Your Highness is right to think so, but because the war ahead is tight, Your Majesty personally instructed that Your Highness should complete the preparations within three days and set off as soon as possible!"

Fang Ling sighed again, and when he saw that Ma Ken wanted to leave, he pretended to stay: "Grandpa Ma, since you are here, it is better to rest in the city for a few days, and let this king entertain you well." FlashDance 35xs"

As if seeing that Fang Ling had the meaning of enveloping, Ma Ken smiled disdainfully and said lightly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, but the military situation is urgent, and the slave must return to the imperial city as soon as possible." With that, he mounted his horse and led the guards away.

As soon as Marken left, Fang Ling straightened his waist, stared at his back indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "Go home!"

Back in the hall of the mansion, the important ministers of the country gathered together, and learned that the holy decree came suddenly, His Majesty asked King Qin of Shicheng to rush to the front line, most of the ministers were mixed, and they could be listed as important ministers by Fang Ling, and all the people present were people with a bit of brains, and they would not simply think that King Qin's matter was a disaster, on the contrary, most people thought that this was a very good opportunity.

Although the strength of the Ishijo Kingdom is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the front-line war, if it can win the second battle and play the reputation of the Ishijo King, then there will naturally be a large number of people to follow, thus greatly expanding the power.

It's just that the arrogance of Yizhou Wang Fang is not an ordinary character, he has so many ministers and generals that it is beyond imagination, coupled with the strength of hundreds of thousands of troops, it is not easy to get benefits in his hands.

However, everyone was not intimidated by this pressure, and all of them seemed to be in good spirits, without the slightest hint of fear.

After Fang Ling sat down, he gestured to Chen Mou's head, Chen Mou pointed to the map of Chu State, and said calmly: " Qingzuka City is an important town on the border of Dingzhou, it is a place where soldiers have always fought for thousands of years, countless armies have fought here, leaving a mountain full of green mounds, so it is named Qingzuka City, this place is the throat of entering the hinterland of Dingzhou, guarded by a general named Zhu Baolin, this person is known for his strictness, there are 10,000 troops stationed under him, according to the news obtained so far, Yizhou has fully occupied Xuzhou, and the first battle to attack Dingzhou should be Qingzuka City!"

Dong Canghai snorted heavily and said: "Empress Song is really insidious and vicious, she should know that the King of Yizhou will capture Qingzuka City at all costs, so she sent His Royal Highness to it, with ill intentions!"

Fang Ling smiled faintly and said, "What Queen Song thinks is her business, but this king will not do what she wants!"

Shen Huantian said with a smile: "What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, Queen Song wants to send us to be cannon fodder, then let's fight a wonderful battle to show her, and raise the prestige of our Shicheng Kingdom, as long as we win in one battle, Your Highness will definitely become famous in one battle!"

Qiu Yi clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Yes, in the past three years of hard work, His Highness's reputation for talent has long been known, as long as this battle is won, there will definitely be many good talents to follow, which will be of great benefit to our Shicheng Kingdom!"

Fang Ling saw that everyone was not only not afraid, but had a high fighting spirit, and couldn't help but be deeply infected, and his passion was high, he said with a smile: "Then in these three days, the generals will be selected and ready to go on the expedition, as for the number of these men and horses, I think it will be good to select 3,000 elite soldiers!"

"3,000 elite soldiers?" everyone couldn't help but be taken aback, at present, Shicheng Kingdom has a population of more than 400,000, of which the number of troops has reached 50,000, although it is very small for other vassal states, but it is very good for a small vassal state that has just been born.

To be honest, in the current situation when Cai Guo is in a state of watching the battle, even if one or two thousand horses are drawn, it will not affect the safety of the country, and it will greatly enhance the chances of victory on the front line, but Fang Ling set the number at 3,000.

Meng Zhiyuan couldn't help frowning and said: "Your Highness, according to the news obtained by the ministers, the reason why the King of Yizhou is fighting like a bamboo, is to take several ways of soldiers and horses to besiege the enemy's city, and win with superior forces, if he wants to attack Qingzuka City, his men and horses are at least several times more than the strength of the defenders, His Royal Highness will go with 3,000 soldiers and horses, I am afraid that it will be quite unfavorable!"

Fang Ling smiled and said: "In order to save my grandfather and others, this king made a big fuss in Yizhou City, and the king of Yizhou hated me to the core, I went to Qingzuka City Qin Wang this time, and I will definitely not be able to hide it from his ears and eyes, no matter how many men and horses I bring, he will definitely send troops several times more than me, so it is better to bring fewer people, first, it is easy to travel lightly and quickly, whether it is to attack or transfer, it can not drag mud and water, and secondly, it will also make him despised." ”

Everyone suddenly realized when they heard this, and suddenly felt that Fang Ling was thoughtful, indeed, if tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were sent, then the pair would send tens of thousands more, and the pressure would increase greatly, if 3,000 soldiers and horses were sent, this number would not hurt, and the other party would most likely despise it, so as to give it an opportunity for its own side!

Shen Huan Tianyi hugged his arms, half-knelt on the ground and said: "The minister is willing to lead 3,000 troops and go out with His Highness!"

Dong Canghai also knelt down with his arms folded and said, "The minister is also willing to lead the troops and go out with His Highness!"

All the military ministers knelt down one after another, willing to go out with the army, Fang Ling smiled and said, "Then let the master and Lord Shen lead the army." ”

The two are the highest military generals in the country, guarding all sides, quite prestigious, now the matter of the grassland has been decided, Cai Guo does not dare to act rashly, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the country, and there are good talents such as Chen Mou Qiu Yi in charge, Fang Ling is very relieved about the domestic situation, plus this must not be taken lightly against the king of Yizhou, so he decided to take this right-hand man with him, and the king of Yizhou had a good fight!

Next, Fang Ling discussed with everyone about the selection and the delivery of grain, grass and other materials, and only then broke up after the discussion.

The news that the king of Shicheng was about to be the king of Qin had spread as early as when Marken announced the holy decree outside the city, and the entire Shicheng country was shrouded in the tense situation before the war, and after three years of operation, the good name of the king of Shicheng with both virtue and integrity was widely recited in the fiefdom and was deeply loved by the people, and now the king of Shicheng led the army to the king of Qin, and the people were not panicked, but were excited one by one, and decided that they would be able to defeat the enemy.

Three days later, the people spontaneously bid farewell in the middle of the city and outside the city, and the 3,000-strong army left the fiefdom and headed for Dingzhou.
