At the same time, Lubei shouldered the important task of transmitting the intelligence of Qingzuka City, shuttling between Qingzuka City and Jingui County, and presenting various information spying on Dong Canghai and Shen Huantian and others. 35xs

In this way, although Fang Ling is located outside Jingui County, it is like having clairvoyance and ears, and he firmly grasps the situation of both the enemy and us, whether it is the Yizhou Army or Zhu Baolin and others, no one knows that a countercurrent has been formed in this enemy camp.

The place where everyone was hiding was a hidden valley, and even the locals only knew about it, so no matter how the soldiers of Yizhou searched it, there was no result.

That night, Fang Ling sat in the open space between the mountain passes, spreading out the map of Qingzuka City on his lap, touching his chin and thinking carefully.

As the information continued to come, all kinds of hidden information were revealed.

There were more than 20,000 soldiers to attack Qingzuka City, some of them were stationed in the hilly area fifteen miles outside the city, and 5,000 men and horses were stationed in the open area, but in fact there were another 5,000 men and horses hidden in the hills, a total of 10,000 horses, as Zhu Baolin originally judged, this was a bait.

The second part is the soldiers and horses scattered in the three counties of Jingui County, each county has about 2,000 people, a total of about eight or nine thousand people.

Although the distribution of the other party's soldiers and horses has been clearly grasped, all kinds of intelligence show that Gu Shaofeng does not seem to be in the three county towns or hilly areas, and more importantly, now that three days have passed, the Yizhou army does not seem to have any intention of attacking Qingzuka City.

Fang Ling thought seriously, and suddenly a spiritual light flashed in his mind, he stood up suddenly, and a bold speculation popped up in his heart, Gu Shaofeng might not have reached the three counties at all!

He thought about it carefully, the more he felt that this possibility was very great, the official positions of the vassal states were basically the same as the official positions of the Chu State, so the Chu State had the generals of the southeast, the northwest, and the Yizhou State also had these four major positions, and Gu Shaofeng, who was born in a famous family, was the youngest of the four generals, serving as the general of the north. 35xs

As a first-class family in Yizhou, the Gu family itself has a pro-guard army, and in addition, Gu Shaofeng is also in charge of tens of thousands of horses.

In that case, the 20,000 horses were actually only the vanguard of Gu Shaofeng's banner, but because its main army was used to absorb the counties and towns on the border of Xuzhou, the 20,000 horses became the main force attacking Qingzuka City.

Although the capture of Qingzuka Castle is a major priority, all this must be built on the basis of stabilizing the rear, and if the Xuzhou Prefecture and County conquered earlier are not stabilized, then it will not be easy to start a war.

Therefore, Gu Shaofeng will definitely come here after stabilizing the conquered city, if this is the case, then the fighter to win this battle has already appeared!

Fang Ling rolled up the map and walked quickly into Zhang Jiyuan's tent, after a few days of conditioning, Zhang Jiyuan's injuries had healed a lot, and he was sitting in the tent at this time, chatting with Wang Tong.

Seeing Fang Ling walk in, the two hurriedly got up and saluted, and Fang Ling immediately sat down and said his inference.

As soon as he heard Fang Ling's inference, Zhang Jiyuan couldn't help but be secretly surprised by the young man's wisdom, and nodded again and again: "Listening to the adult's inference, this possibility is extremely high, after all, with the connections of our three brothers, if Gu Shaofeng is really here, he will definitely be able to find out the clues!"

Fang Ling spread out the map, pointed to it and said: "The last big county conquered by Gu Shaofeng's army is Qin'an County, if you come from Qin'an County, it is this official road, I don't know what the road condition is?"

Zhang Jiyuan said: "There are large hilly areas in our three counties, so there are many valleys, because the mountains are not high, so it is not dangerous, but the terrain is still quite complicated. ”

Saying that, Zhang Jiyuan talked in detail about the situation of each section of this official road, Fang Ling was quite interested in several of them, and asked in detail, the more he listened to the smile on the corner of his mouth.

As long as Gu Shaofeng is intercepted halfway, 20,000 horses will be leaderless, Zhu Baolin will lead the army to attack, and he will definitely be able to annihilate the 10,000 horses in the open field, so that he can win a big victory. 35xs

However, to achieve this, there are still two problems to be solved, first, Gu Shaofeng is not only known as a trickster, good at the art of war, but also attaches great importance to safety, it is said that he is escorted by ten masters, and there are many people accompanying him.

Qingzuka City is not easy to attack, it is the danger of Dingzhou's No. 1, and it is by no means comparable to those cities in Xuzhou, and this battle is going to be a momentum, Gu Shaofeng will not take it lightly, with the ratio of 20,000 horses to 10,000 horses in Qingzuka City today, it is obviously a bit insufficient. In other words, the number of people and horses brought by Gu Shaofeng is definitely not one or two thousand, at least five thousand.

If you want to kill Gu Shaofeng in such a large army, it is an impossible task in terms of Fang Ling's current cultivation, even if you add the current strength of the three counties, it is definitely not enough, so you must transport your three thousand soldiers and horses here!

After making up his mind, he opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Zhang, is there any route that can allow a large number of soldiers and horses to reach Jingui County without passing through the main gate of Qingzuka City?"

Zhang Jiyuan frowned when he heard this, looked embarrassed, and thought for a while before replying: "If you don't go through the main gate of Qingzuka Pass, the only way is to bypass the mountains on both sides of the city, but if you go around like that, the journey will take several days." ”

If it can be solved so easily, then it will not be a problem, Fang Ling sighed secretly, and asked Wang Tong, who was thinking for a long time, "Does Lord Wang know what route?"

Wang Tong was recalling something just now, and when he was asked like this, he hurriedly replied: "My lord, I think of a small road that can be passed." ”

"Really?" Fang Ling said overjoyed.

Wang Tong replied solemnly: "My fathers used to be hunters, and they were very familiar with the roads on the mountain, I remember that one of my uncles said that there is a very steep road on the mountain, which is dug along the cliff, the road is like a sheep's intestine, and it is as dangerous as a single tree, but it can enter the territory of Dingzhou without passing through Qingzuka City!"

Fang Ling said happily: "Then your uncle ...... now"

Wang Tong said respectfully: "Uncle is very strong, it's no problem to go up the mountain to hunt, I'll go back and ask, it's no problem to find this road." ”

Fang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "Great, then this matter will be handed over to Lord Wang." ”

Zhang Jiyuan suddenly understood Fang Ling's intentions, and said in a lost voice: "My lord, you shouldn't want to snipe Gu Shaofeng, right?"

Fang Ling glanced at him a little surprised, although this person was only a county lieutenant, but his head turned quite quickly, he didn't hide it, and nodded slightly.

The two of them were taken aback, Zhang Jiyuan's face changed, and he said worriedly: "My lord, this move is a dangerous move, if the army of Qingzuka City is secretly mobilized, wouldn't it be troublesome if the other party attacks?"

Fang Ling smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "Lord Zhang, what I am mobilizing is not the soldiers of Qingzuka City. ”

"What, this ......" Zhang Jiyuan and Wang Tong were taken aback again, and they didn't understand what they meant for a while, if it wasn't the soldiers of Qingzuka City who were mobilized, then where was the army?

However, Zhang Jiyuan reacted quickly, and suddenly came to his senses and said: "Could it be that Lord Fei is not the general of Qingzuka City, but the general of His Royal Highness the King of Shicheng?"

Fang Ling smiled, now that he had reached this point, he no longer had to hide his identity, he reached into his arms and flipped out the Shicheng King Token and lit it up.

The two of them suddenly changed their faces, and they all knelt down, buried their heads on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain should be damned, he didn't even know that the adult was His Highness!"

Fang Ling helped the two of them up with a smile and said, "What are you guilty of, it's just that this king didn't deliberately tell you." ”

Although Fang Ling had no shelf, neither of them dared to look directly into Fang Ling's eyes, for the two of them, a county guard was a great official, let alone a dignified prince?

And the two of them really understood at this time, why the young man had a pass token at a young age, and why he had such a strong momentum.

Zhang Jiyuan hesitated for a moment, and then stopped talking: "The information that the lower officials have learned in the past few days also has something about His Highness, and I heard that His Highness only brought 3,000 soldiers and horses......

Fang Ling knew his worries, and said solemnly: "I know very well Lord Zhang's scruples, this king does only have three thousand soldiers and horses, and maybe Gu Shaofeng's men and horses far surpass me, so the disparity between the enemy and me in this battle is very great. Second, now the entire Xuzhou is now the territory of the Yizhou army, even if Gu Shaofeng's army is destroyed, but the soldiers and horses of the three counties will immediately dispatch as soon as they hear the news, and it is a big problem to evacuate back safely. ”

Zhang Jiyuan was surprised: "I have heard the name of His Highness's wisdom for a long time, and it is really worthy of the name, and you know clearly what the lower officials think." Speaking of this, he puffed out his chest and said, "Please allow Your Highness to allow your subordinate and your brothers to participate in the battle together!"

Fang Ling took a deep look at him and said, "Lord Zhang, the battlefield is not as good as capturing thieves and ruffians, it is a field of life and death." ”

Zhang Jiyuan smiled heroically, arched his hand and said: "Of course the lower official understands, but as a dignified man, how many opportunities can he have to meet His Royal Highness in his life? and how many opportunities can he have to make meritorious contributions? What's more, His Royal Highness is still the life-saving benefactor of the lower official, and the lower official cannot sit idly by. ”

Seeing the ambition in the man's eyes, Fang Ling laughed, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since Lord Zhang has this determination, then the king will integrate your soldiers and horses from the three counties into the army and listen to the order!"

Zhang Jiyuan and Wang Tong suddenly knelt down excitedly, and the promotion from the county soldiers to the army of Shichengguo was a status improvement in its own sense.

Everything was fine, Fang Ling pushed away the tent and walked out, looking at the bright moon hanging in the air, his face was calm, the first battle in his life was finally about to begin, and this battle must take off Gu Shaofeng's head!
