Seeing Fang Ling so confident, Lu Bei was naturally in good spirits, and arched his hand: "Then how should we attack Tancheng?"

Fang Ling gently pinched his phalanges and said, "If you want to attack Tan City, you must transport people and horses to the city, then you must cross the moat." There are many crocodiles in the moat, and even if they are poisoned, there will be residual poison in the river, which is not conducive to people and horses crossing the river. It is estimated that Huang Longhu has already thought of the methods that can be thought of, Brother Lu, have you investigated the situation around this moat?"

Lubei "touched" a hand-drawn map, spread it out on the table and said: "The river that flows from the edge of Tancheng is called Jihe, which is the convergence of many rivers, hundreds of years ago, Tancheng people built a circular moat outside the city, the water of Jihe River was introduced from the upstream, and discharged through the downstream. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the side of the map and said, "On the north side of the moat, there is a huge stone embankment, which is the upper reaches of the river, and the water enters the moat from here, and the embankment is several feet high, and there is a military camp of 500 people around it, and it is guarded by Fei Chengmi. At the lower reaches of the river is a ditch from which water from the moat flows into the Ji River, and there is also a military camp of 500 men. ”

Song Ying'er looked at the map and said, "Judging from the distance on the map, it seems that you can see the movement of the military camp from the city wall." ”

Lu Bei nodded and said: "Exactly, and the military camp is also within the range of the archers of the city wall, once there is a change in the military camp, there will be a divine 'archer' on the city wall to help deal with the enemy army." ”

Fang Ling narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that you have to destroy the embankment without knowing it." ”

Lu Bei shook his head and said: "It is not easy to make the embankment collapse, even if you occupy the military camp of five hundred people, the embankment is made of very hard basalt, even if you use the giant crossbow of the city wall, you have to attack dozens of times to break it." What's more, as soon as there is movement in the barracks, the army in the city will immediately react.

Fang Ling thought for a moment, and the corners of his mouth showed a little smile: "I already have a way to deal with this embankment." ”

"Really?" Song Ying'er said overjoyed.

Fang Ling smiled but didn't answer, and pointed to the ditch below: "The embankment is not an ordinary thing, so the ditch below should not be simple, right?"

Lu Bei said: "The ditch is made of fine iron with a thick bowl mouth, densely embedded in the ditch, and there are hundreds of them, and crocodiles can't climb into it at all." If the ditch is not destroyed so that the crocodile can get in, then even if the embankment is destroyed and the water level of the moat is raised, the crocodile will not enter the Ji River. ”

"Iron Pillar...... It's not something that can't be solved. Fang Ling smiled to himself, and changed the subject, "The rest is a matter of troops, no matter how many men and horses the king of Dongzhou and the king of Anxi County bring, but the number must be calculated in tens of thousands, in this way, the 150,000 horses in Tancheng will be increased to about 200,000." It is impossible for the men and horses of the East Dome Pass to attack Tancheng, and in order to be prepared, there will be at least sixty percent of the men and horses left behind, that is to say, only forty percent of the men and horses attacking Tancheng, only 180,000!"

Seeing that Fang Ling just listened, he was already confident about the problem of the moat, and Lu Bei and Song Ying'er couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Song Ying'er frowned and said: "Your Highness, 180,000 people is really a bit troublesome, even if the soldiers really come to the city, it is enough to deal with 200,000 people and solve the battle in a short time." ”

Lu Bei also said: "Yes, the southern general Chang Bai is very resourceful, especially good at commanding operations, and his response is also quite good, even if the surprise attack can lose tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the opponent at once, but after his command, it should delay a lot of time." Moreover, the soldiers and horses of Yizhou State stationed in Tancheng and the soldiers and horses brought by the king of Dongzhou and the king of Anxi should all be elite troops. ”

Fang Ling nodded, then smiled slightly: "Since this is the case, then let the master and them come to the battle." ”

Song Ying'er said happily: "Your Highness means to transfer the soldiers and horses of our Shicheng Kingdom here?"

Fang Ling said with a smile: "Yes, the current situation on the border of Dingzhou and Xuzhou is stable, and Yizhou is unable to carry out a big war, and it is a waste to put more soldiers and horses there, so it is better to transfer my country's soldiers and horses here to do a big battle." ”

Lu Bei clenched his fists and smiled: "Great, my country's soldiers are looking forward to another big battle, and now they have absorbed a lot of recruits from all over the world, and the number has reached more than 50,000." ”

Fang Ling thought for a while and said, "Brother Lu, you immediately send someone to fly pigeons to pass the book, and order Master Shen and Master Shen to lead an army of 50,000 around the border of Liangzhou to enter Xingzhou and go to Dongqiong Pass!"

Lu Bei suddenly understood and said: "In this way, even if the news spreads, other people will think that it is the army sent by Liangzhou to reinforce the East Dome Pass, and they will not think that it is the people of our Shicheng Kingdom." ”

Fang Ling bowed his head and said: "Yes, the military situation is urgent, let them go on the road immediately, and in order to ensure that the news is not leaked, let the master not leak the destination of the march." ”

Lu Bei hurriedly bowed down and retreated, to handle things, and then, Fang Ling wrote another letter, handed over to Hao Tieniu to take to the East Dome Pass, and personally handed it over to Huang Longhu, the content of this letter is naturally related to the gathering of the three kings in Tancheng, and Huang Longhu will definitely not give up such a good opportunity.

When things are done, Fang Ling is still frowning, for him, the plan to attack Tancheng is only the first step, and the second step is to grasp the movements of the three kings, this information is flowing out of Shi Baoliang, it can be seen that this person still has some connections in the army, and it is insider information that Huang Longhu's spies can't find out.

And more importantly, he has to get close to these important people, and maybe know some clues about the doppelganger mirror.

It's just that after Fang Ling made a big fuss in Yizhou Country, Fang Zongao once pasted his portrait all over Yizhou Country, and it would be troublesome if he was recognized.

Seeing that he frowned, Song Ying'er asked cautiously, and after knowing what he was struggling with, she couldn't help but sneer and said, "Your Highness has heard of the disguise technique?"

"Of course, I've heard that people who are good at this technique can not only change people's appearance, but also their body shape and voice. Fang Ling said.

Song Ying'er said: "The concubine grew up in Tsing Yi Fang since she was a child, and she learned all kinds of special intelligence skills, including the disguise technique. ”

"What, Shadow, you actually know how to change your appearance?" Fang Ling said overjoyed.

Song Ying'er said with a smile: "The concubine body is not boasting, but it will not be so simple, even if Your Highness is like becoming a woman, the concubine body can also make you wish." ”

Fang Ling laughed and said, "If you really have that ability, you can turn me into a middle-aged businessman." ”

Song Ying'er owed and said, "Then the concubine will go and prepare things now, and she will be able to change her appearance for Her Highness tomorrow morning." ”

Seeing her full of confidence, Fang Ling couldn't help but look forward to it, but thinking about it, this disguise technique is indeed impermanent for spying on intelligence, it seems that this Tsing Yi Fang is indeed not an ordinary organization.

For one night, Song Ying'er locked herself in the room, and it wasn't until the sun rose the next day that she came out of the room, and she had an extra human skin mask in her hand.

Fang Ling put this mask on his face, looked into the bronze mirror, and was taken aback, this is a face in his thirties, the face is angular, showing a bit of vicissitudes of experience, as long as it is paired with a pair of shrewd eyes, it looks like a businessman.

He was about to turn his head and praise Song Ying'er, but he saw that Song Ying'er also wore a mask on her face and turned into an inconspicuous little girl.

The two looked at each other, and then laughed, Fang Ling praised her a few words without hesitation, and then took out some things that had been prepared earlier and wrapped them in the baggage, and then left the inn.

After leaving the inn, Fang Ling came all the way to Shi Baoliang's mansion, and after handing over a piece of silver, the soldiers guarding the door immediately became "colorful" with Yan Yue, and when they heard that he was here to offer treasures, they immediately went in to inform him.

It didn't take long for He Zhong to come out of it, yawning as he walked, as if someone had disturbed his dreams, and his face was still a little unhappy.

Walking to the door, he looked Fang Ling and Song Ying'er up and down, and when he saw that the two of them were dressed ordinarily, he couldn't help but feel a little more contemptuous, and said casually: "It's you, you want to come to offer treasures?"

Fang Ling had already inquired about his details clearly, this person was originally a local official in Yizhou, who pretended to be quite high on the surface, but in private he colluded with businessmen and made a lot of black money. It's just that because of his poor political performance and uneven distribution of spoils with businessmen, he was taken off his black gauze hat, and later was favored by Shi Baoliang and became a staff member by his side.

The easiest way to deal with this kind of person is to pay a bribe, not to mention that Shi Baoliang is in a hurry to have a baby.

Fang Ling didn't answer, but first took out a long wooden box from the baggage, respectfully handed it to He Zhong, and said with a smile: "I heard that Lord Shi likes the world's rare treasures, and he happened to have a little treasure in the lower ancestor, so I want to dedicate it to the adult, and I also ask Lord He to fulfill it." ”

He Zhong weighed the box, and felt that it was quite heavy inside, so he moved the wooden box a little away at will, and saw a jade tiger lying inside from the "exposed" gap, this jade tiger was the size of a fist, and the image was lifelike, and it was a treasure from the master's hand at a glance. What's even more surprising is the "color" on the jade tiger's body, which actually has seven kinds of "color" color.

You must know that the price of jade is generally said that the more positive and purer a color is, the higher the price, and the slightest miscellaneous color will affect the value, but the carvings are different.

However, the material of this jade tiger is not as simple as ordinary jade, this is a very rare seven-color jade.

Seven "color" jade is produced in the northwest plateau, the mining amount is very low, the amount of survival is very small, the value is extraordinary, He Zhong has been an official for many years, a pair of eyesight is also outstanding, at a glance you can see that this thing is worth a lot of money, at least it is worth hundreds of gold.

Suddenly, he was already impressed by the middle-aged businessman in front of him, who was not amazing, and was able to make such a big move, the things he brought were definitely not ordinary things.
