Cui Yixuan received the edict overnight, and when he rushed to the palace to see Queen Song, Queen Song had a thick shadow on her face and was extremely displeased

Cui Yixuan also felt very bad in his heart, to be honest, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the plan he formulated, letting Fang Ling dominate the front line in Dingzhou was originally a trick that could not be poisoned anymore, and he also knew a lot about the contradictions of the four major clans in Dingzhou, and even knew that even Yuan Dekang, the assassin of Dingzhou, could not do anything about them.

However, God knows what method Fang Ling used, he actually secretly unified the front-line troops, and secretly dispatched the soldiers and horses of Shicheng Kingdom over, and there was no sign at all before the big war.

As a result, even the scheming Zhu Yanding was defeated in the hands of Fang Ling, not only defeated, but also captured, which made Fang Ling's fame perfect.

"Cui Qing, what a good idea you proposed!" Queen Song said with great displeasure.

Cui Yixuan said helplessly: "Niangniang, this matter is indeed that the minister underestimated the ability of the King of Shicheng. ”

Seeing Cui Yixuan admit that she had made a mistake, Queen Song didn't want to speak too harshly, but said with great annoyance: "After this battle, the court is full of voices supporting the King of Shicheng, and even His Royal Highness is Longyan Dayue, which is simply angry with the palace." Although the crown prince fought with the king of Jiangzhou, the king of Linjun and the king of Nankang with the assistance of the southern general, he only won a few small victories, but his record was far inferior to that of the king of Shicheng, if he was allowed to develop, it would definitely become a big trouble for you and me!"

Cui Yixuan wiped a bitter smile from the corner of his mouth, and he also didn't understand how this great prince, who had endured humiliation and burdens in the cold palace for more than ten years, became famous all of a sudden, he thought about it and said: "Judging from the current situation, Yuan Dekang, the assassin of Dingzhou, is only afraid to stand on the side of the king of Shicheng." ”

"Then simply remove him!" Empress Song said coldly.

Cui Yixuan shook his head and said: "Niangniang, Yuan Dekang is in the limelight this time, not only helping the King of Shicheng to capture Ai Mingxuan, but also catching the so-called evil immortal, this feat is not ordinary." What's more, the local power in that place in Dingzhou is too strong, and the King of Shicheng is recognized by the four major clans, even if we find a way to withdraw Yuan Dekang, I am afraid that it will not affect the power of the King of Shicheng. ”

Queen Song slammed the chair handle and said: "So, isn't Dingzhou occupied by that kid?" No, we must think of a way, this kid wants to get rid of the wild horse now, if you don't put the reins on him, I don't know what kind of 'chaos' will happen!"

Cui Yixuan frowned and said, "Now that the King of Shicheng has won his heyday and is as famous as ever, even if he wants to deliberately suppress it, he can't find a way." ”

"Then why don't you just let him develop like this?" Empress Song said coldly.

Cui Yixuan said in a deep voice: "According to the current situation, we only have one way - wait!"

"Wait?" said Empress Song with a frown.

Cui Yixuan said: "Yes, after all, the king of Shicheng is young, he must inevitably make mistakes, and it is impossible to win again and again, as long as he makes mistakes in military affairs and suffers a defeat, we can ......."

Empress Song waved her hand and said categorically: "No, this palace can't wait! This person is already sick with his heart, and letting him continue to grow will only make this palace more and more headaches! There must be other ways to solve him!"

Cui Yixuan pondered for a while, and hesitated: "It's not that there is no way, it's just ......"

"As long as you can get rid of this kid, this palace is willing to try any method!" Queen Song said coldly.

Cui Yixuan said gloomily: "As long as we can buy some people on the Dingzhou side and secretly deliver the information of the King of Shicheng to the King of Yizhou, in this way, the King of Yizhou will definitely be able to make reasonable use of it, and maybe we will be able to set a big trap." ”

Queen Song's eyes lit up when she heard this: "That's right, this Yizhou king lost two generals and a strategist, I heard that after hearing the battle report this time, he was so angry in the court that he ignored the identity of the king, scolded Fang Ling, and vowed to take revenge on Fang Ling." If the information is revealed to him, he will indeed use it wisely. Speaking of this, she frowned again, "But in this way, it will boost the momentum of the Yizhou army, if they take the opportunity to occupy Dingzhou and attack Liangzhou, the next step will be our imperial city." ”

Cui Yixuan said with a smile: "Niangniang doesn't need this, once they capture Dingzhou, Your Majesty will definitely send northern troops to the east to stop the Yizhou army!"

Empress Song was relieved at this time, and sneered: "This palace will immediately call someone to arrange, this time the king of Shicheng must be killed!"

The anger of the king of Yizhou, the viciousness of the queen of Song, in addition to these two people, there is another person who is also angry, that is Gu Ziyun.

He was originally angry and ambitious, vowing to let the king of Shicheng who killed his nephew taste the bitterness, but he didn't expect that the king of Shicheng actually won Zhu Yanding, which naturally scared him a lot, and finally for the sake of safety, he had to temporarily retreat in Jingui County, and let the king of Yizhou send tens of thousands of horses over.

However, the front of the Yizhou army is not only in Xuzhou, but also in Xingzhou and Zizhou, and it is not easy to transfer tens of thousands of people to fill the gap in the front line in Xuzhou for a while, so Gu Ziyun had no choice but to continue to stay in Jingui County, knowing that the murderer of his nephew was on the opposite side, but he did not dare to act rashly.

Looking back at the front line in Dingzhou, Fang Ling did not take advantage of the general trend to encircle and suppress Gu Ziyun's army, but began to recruit troops and horses to expand his troops.

Although the two battles were won beautifully, Fang Ling was not carried away by the victory, a battle will lose hundreds of thousands of people, if it goes on all the way, although it can continue to win, but in fact, the cost of troops will be quite serious, so now it is just using fame to recruit all kinds of people.

In fact, since Fang Ling's defeat of Zhu Yanding, people from all over the country have rushed to the five towns of Dingzhou, and the number of people in the five towns has soared, and the number of people who have been approved to enlist in the army has exceeded 10,000 in just a few days.

Of course, what a large number of people want to join the most is the army of Shicheng State that belongs directly to Fang Ling, and if they want to become soldiers of Shicheng State, they must first have the status of a citizen of Shicheng State, that is, they must submit the applicant's household registration to the state capital, and after approval, it will be transferred to the Shicheng State Household Department, and the household registration can only be changed after changing.

However, in order to maximize the number of troops, Fang Ling specially ordered the relaxation of the regulations, and there was no need to go through cumbersome procedures, and no matter where he was registered, he could apply to become a soldier of Shicheng Kingdom.

As soon as the conditions were relaxed, the people immediately enthusiastically participated, and a large number of young people with excellent qualifications were included in the team of Shichengguo.

Immediately afterwards, under Fang Ling's instructions, the soldiers and horses of the Five Towns sent the vanguard troops to occupy the area along the border of Xuzhou, which was originally controlled by Zhu Yanding, and this piece of land was also recovered for the first time since the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings".

At the same time, Zhu Yanding's matter was just as Fang Ling expected, after Zhu Yanding surrendered, sure enough, there were slanderous ministers who continued to admonish the king of Yizhou, thinking that he colluded with the king of Shicheng, otherwise it would not have been possible to defeat so miserably, and even listed a lot of false evidence.

The king of Yizhou, who was angry, seemed to have found a punching bag, and ordered Zhu Yanding's family to be beheaded, but later it was discovered that Zhu Yanding's family had long since disappeared.

And learning this news, Zhu Yanding scolded the "traitor" minister, although he did not have the heart to surrender, but Fang Ling had to be grateful for rescuing his family in advance.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the time has also entered September, since he went to the grassland, Fang Ling has been fighting with injuries, and now he has truly recovered.

After refining a four-tonic pill, Fang Ling pushed open the door and walked out, it was late at night, he walked into the courtyard along the corridor, and Hao Tieniu and other guards guarding the door saluted one after another.

When Fang Ling pushed open the door, he was suddenly shocked, and suddenly looked at the chair in the corner of the room, and suddenly saw a figure.

Although the aura on this person's body had almost converged to the realm of nothingness, Fang Ling had never relaxed his vigilance, so he immediately sensed that something was wrong as soon as he saw the door.

In the dark, he couldn't see the faces of the people who came, and even the breath was almost imperceptible, but Fang Ling felt a kind of "Mao" bone terrifying coercion, and the cold "Mao" on his body seemed to stand up, it was a kind of fear that was instinctively presented in the face of the strong body, and to be able to let his body have this kind of reaction, the other party's cultivation was absolutely unfathomable, and it was definitely above any opponent he had ever met!

Fang Ling took a deep breath, the warm sun fire swam all over his body, suppressing the fear in his body, and his brain quickly thought about the problem, deducing the origin and purpose of the other party.

At that moment, the black shadow raised his arm and stretched out a finger, but when he heard the sound of "poof-", a flame actually rose from the finger.

The purple flame seemed to come from the Netherworld, Fang Ling couldn't help but take a deep breath again, it was so pure Sun Fire Energy, although he was also able to release the Sun Fire Energy to form the form of flames, but its wheel purity could definitely not be compared to this small flame.

It was this flame that Fang Ling had suddenly woken up, this person was a disciple of the Immortal Sect!

The black shadow shook his hand slightly, and the flame swam towards the table like a ghost, and landed on the candle, and suddenly, the candle was lit, illuminating everything in the room, and the black shadow also "revealed" its true face.

This is an old man in a green robe in his fifties, he has a thin appearance, white eyebrows like a scimitar, a slightly squinted look in his eyes, and a deep smile on his face.

The old man glanced at Fang Ling and said with a faint smile: "The King of Shicheng really lives up to his reputation, not only is his qualifications outstanding, but his cultivation is also a phoenix among his peers, and he can even connect the two major generals of the Keyi Prefecture Kingdom, no wonder even the old man's junior brother is planted in your hands." ”

Fang Ling's heart chuckled, he had already vaguely guessed the identity of this person, he was afraid that this person was Yu Wu's senior brother, he couldn't help frowning secretly, he had expected that killing Yu Wu would likely cause a reaction from the Tianhua Sect, so he specially asked Yuan Dekang to be in the limelight, but he didn't expect the Tianhua Sect's disciples to find him so quickly.
