For the king of Shicheng who suddenly made an astonishing move, the most anxious were Queen Song and Cui Yixuan, although they bought off some officials in Dingzhou and leaked a lot of information to the Yizhou army, but the troops were scarce, and the Yizhou soldiers who were discouraged could not make good use of this information, but retreated one after another.

The only thing that can comfort the two is that taking advantage of this momentum, the southern general and the crown prince also opened up a new battlefield in the south, regained the lost territory, and won several victories in a row, but this is a world of difference compared to the record set by Fang Ling, and Fang Ling's name has resounded throughout the land, which can be described as prestigious.

After this battle, a strange notice appeared in the town near the East Dome Pass, and it was posted on the city wall with great fanfare, attracting the people to watch.

The notice is not a wanted warrant, nor is it an appointment of the government, only a few lines of incomprehensible text, which reads: Fengxian is a farewell, it has been three years, the mirror is in my hand, and the dome is waiting.

The more the people couldn't understand it, the more interested they were in spreading rumors everywhere, needless to say, this was a notice ordered by Fang Ling to be posted, in order to tell Xiao Xue that the doppelganger mirror had fallen into his hands, and if he wanted to take it, he would go to the East Dome Pass.

After the Battle of Tancheng, Fang Ling handed over the matter of leading the troops to fight to Dong Canghai and Shen Huantian, and at the same time, Mo Xiang and others also rushed over from the border of Dingzhou to converge.

In the past few days, he has been staying in a mansion in Dongqiongguan, waiting for Xiao Xue's arrival, and thinking about another major issue. In order to think through this problem, he pondered, pondered, and thought about the map of Chu every day, and worked hard day and night.

Although Song Ying'er didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't ask, he just served him every day, so that he had no worries, this thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness did make Fang Ling feel a lot of peace, as soon as his hand was stretched, someone would serve and dress, and as soon as his foot was stretched, someone would help wash his feet, with such a beautiful maid waiting, wouldn't it be a gentle country in the world.

On the afternoon of this day, Dong Canghai, Shen Huantian and others, who led the troops, came back together, rushed over to meet Fang Ling, and reported the latest military developments.

After the battle of Tancheng, the number of people in Shicheng Country has risen to 100,000, and this number is still rising in a straight line, under the prestige of Fang Ling, countless young people rushed to Dongqiongguan, in order to become a member of the army of Shicheng Kingdom.

In fact, the three major states of Dingzhou, Xuzhou and Yizhou have all fallen into the hands of Fang Ling, in addition, the annexation of Shicheng abroad, and the Anzhou and other places where the northern generals have already opened up relations, plus Xingzhou, where the East Dome Pass is located, now Fang Ling can control nearly a quarter of the territory of the Chu State, this number has greatly exceeded Fang Ling's expectations before the war, and at the same time has generated new problems.

After reading the report of Dong Canghai and others, Fang Ling put the report on the stone table, glanced at a few people, Dong Canghai and Shen Huantian were naturally high-spirited, like a long general, they won more than a dozen battles in a row, and their fighting spirit was high, and Mo Xiang on the side seemed much calmer, and his quiet face was very calm.

Fang Ling drank a cup of tea and said with a light smile: "Now that the situation is very good, what do you think we should do next?"

Dong Canghai clenched his fists and said: "Your Highness, the Yizhou Royal City will be broken in a few days, and the entire land of Yizhou will fall into our hands at that time." Then, you can recover Zizhou and directly attack the Dongzhou national front. ”

Shen Huantian said in a deep voice: "Judging from the current situation, the southern general is also leading the army to regain the lost territory, we should take the opportunity to recover more territory and consolidate the existing forces!"

Fang Ling glanced at Mo Xiang, and Mo Xiang said softly: "Your Highness, of course it is necessary to consolidate the existing forces, but we also have to focus on the longer term, that is, after the 'chaos' of the Eight Kings has subsided." ”

Fang Ling secretly appreciated it, Mo Xiang was worthy of being a talented woman, and only she could think of what he thought, so he asked, "Then according to you, how should you focus on it?"

Mo Xiang analyzed: "After the 'chaos' of the Eight Kings subsided, there are only two possibilities, one is that our country has completely recovered the lost land, and the emperor will definitely receive the ownership of these lost lands into his own hands, so we can only obediently return to Shicheng Kingdom, because there is no longer any reason to stay here. ”

Saying this, Dong Shen and the others immediately frowned, and Dong Canghai sighed: "What the Mo military division said is true, in this way, we have done useless work, after all, the land of Chu is the emperor." ”

"This ...... Then what should we do? Raise troops, there is no reason, don't we have soldiers, don't we fight this battle?" Shen Huantian said in great distress.

Fang Ling smiled and said: "I will call you back this time, I want to say this, although there is still a period of time before the 'chaos' of the Eight Kings subsides, but we need to focus on a more long-term plan, because what this king wants is not these small territories, but the power of the entire Chu State!"

Everyone nodded, and Fang Ling gestured towards Mo Xiang, "Now you can talk about the second possibility." ”

Mo Xiang listened to what Fang Ling said, and knew that he had a plan, but he just said it through his own mouth, she secretly admired this young king in her heart, and said softly: "The second possibility is that Cai and Wu, and even the Yue State in the south of our country will raise troops to attack our Chu State, because the 'chaos' of the Eight Kings has caused war on three sides of our country's north, east and south, and once their three kingdoms attack, they will definitely be able to break through the border defense line and occupy a lot of territory." ”

Dong Canghai frowned and said: "This is not good, once the Three Kingdoms invade, Empress Song is very likely to send us to the border to deal with the army of the Three Kingdoms, which is not as simple as dealing with the 'chaos' of the Eight Kings." ”

Fang Ling smiled slightly: "On the surface, it is indeed not good, but this is a turning point. ”

"Turnaround?" asked Dong Canghai and the others with suspicious expressions.

Fang Ling said with a smile: "If you want to seize the power of the Chu State, in addition to the justifiable reasons, the most important thing is to have strength, if this king can stop the offensive of the three kingdoms of Cai, Wu and Yue, then even the emperor will not be able to expel me from this area, and a quarter of this Chu country will naturally become the king's bag." ”

Everyone was secretly taken aback when they heard this, and Mo Xiang couldn't help but ask: "But how can Your Highness stop the offensive of the Three Kingdoms? These three kingdoms have long been eyeing our country, and it is impossible to give up the good opportunity of the 'chaos' of the Eight Kings. ”

Fang Ling pointed at the map with his hand, and everyone was stunned, and at the same time blurted out: "Qin State!"

Only Song Ying'er suddenly understood Fang Ling's reason for pointing out the Qin State, and smiled lightly, because the Huo family where Huo Junyuan was located was the leading family in the Qin State, and if Fang Ling went to the Qin State, he would definitely be able to get their help.

The others frowned deeply because they didn't understand the inside story, and Mo Xiang said: "If there is the help of the Qin State, the Three Kingdoms of Cai, Wu and Yue really don't dare to act rashly, but the Qin State and my Chu State have never had any contact, and the Qin State is also ambitious and wants to dominate the land." ”

Fang Ling smiled lightly and said, "This king has his own way to persuade Emperor Qin to help. ”

Seeing the young man so confident, although several people were surprised, they all believed it in their hearts, after all, how powerful Fang Ling's wrist was, several people knew it best.

Dong Canghe said bitterly: "If His Royal Highness can really persuade Emperor Qin to join forces, then the three kingdoms of Cai, Wu and Yue will be attacked by our two countries, like birds with a frightened bow, and if His Highness has this ability, even His Majesty will not dare to make a move against His Highness." ”

Shen Huantian also said excitedly: "Yes, His Royal Highness has accumulated fame and strength in the 'chaos' of the Eight Kings, if the Three Kingdoms of Cai, Wu and Yue are suppressed again, that fame will be as high as the sky, and it will definitely not be comparable to the likes of the crown prince, and when the time comes, take the opportunity to enter the imperial city and 'force' the palace, and the throne will be at your fingertips!"

Fang Ling is fighting this idea in his heart, war can indeed accumulate strength, but at the same time, it is also a kind of internal friction, not to mention that the "chaos" of the eight kings is not big enough to affect the whole country, so even if he attacks desperately, he can only occupy a few more states, and in the end, as soon as the "chaos" of the eight kings subsides, he still has to obediently spit out the swallowed land, how can he be willing to do this?

He smiled slightly: "The affairs of the Qin State will be handled by this king, and as for the rest of the war of the 'chaos' of the eight kings, the Mo military division will help to 'operate' the plate, and the master and Lord Shen will have to work hard." ”

Dong Canghan hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, we will not insult Your Highness's reputation!"

Fang Ling nodded and said, "You don't have to be demanding, you must occupy more territory, it is important to stabilize the current occupied territory." What's more, with the help of Huang Longhu's army, this rebellion in the east will not last long. ”

Then, Fang Ling took out another stack of papers, handed it to Mo Xiang and said, "This is the strategy I have drawn up for attacking various important towns based on various intelligence in the past few days, you can refer to it when the time comes." ”

Mo Xiang nodded slightly, put the paper away, and then everyone discussed for a while before leaving.

Walking out of the courtyard, Mo Xiang glanced back at Fang Ling, and couldn't help but sigh faintly, she had a strange feeling in her heart, the longer she stayed by Fang Ling's side, the more she felt his omnipotence, the more she felt the gap between the two, as if the two were not the same world at all.

Even with this unbridgeable gap, Mo Xiang still firmly thought that if he wanted to do everything he could for Fang Ling, the pacification of this "chaos" of the Eight Kings would definitely live up to his trust.

After nightfall, Fang Ling crossed his knees on the bed, cultivating the method, for those who cultivate the truth, sleeping has become a dispensable thing, Fang Ling is also often settled until dawn, using the night to cultivate the moon yin ice strength.

Cun Ding was placed in a corner of the room at will, because Huo Junyuan had to teach important methods in the past few days, so Song Ying'er often stayed in it all night.

After a long week of heavenly qi, Fang Ling woke up from a state of concentration, his eyes were not opened, but he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, this fragrance was as pure as snow, it seemed to be nothing, and there was no trace.

Fang Ling suddenly showed a thick smile, opened his eyes, and saw a woman in white standing in front of the window, under the moonlight, reflecting the carved face of that day, white-clothed Shengxue, temperament like a fairy, it was Xiao Xue who had not been seen for three years.
