Lu Bei and the others rode their horses all the way, marched along the mountain road, crossed Jingui County, crossed the 10,000 troops on the open land, and came to the Qingzun City Gate. 35xs

Holding the pass token, Lu Bei shouted: "On the orders of His Royal Highness the King of Shicheng, the head of Gu Shaofeng, the general of the northern part of Yizhou Kingdom, will be sent to General Zhu!"

With just such a sentence, the soldiers defending the city were so frightened that they didn't drop their jaws, and hurried to the county office.

In fact, at this time, Zhu Baolin had just received a flying pigeon message from the spies. Three days ago, because of the letter left by Fang Ling, he sent a hundred elite scouts to reconnoitre, but found that the three thousand soldiers and horses of the King of Shicheng seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace for three days.

Fortunately, the spies were clever and investigated the movements of the Gu family's own soldiers, and finally discovered this earth-shattering battle.

Zhu Baolin didn't expect that Fang Ling would really dare to ambush Gu Shaofeng with only three thousand men, and when he was annoyed by his stupid move, he didn't expect to get the news that Gu Shaofeng's subordinates were coming to Gu Shaofeng's subordinates.

Zhu Baolin is also a veteran of the battlefield, he has never seen anything, he has never experienced anything, and he thinks that he can remain calm and firm under any circumstances.

However, as soon as he heard this, he couldn't help but stand up suddenly, and hurried towards the city gate, the news passed by the spies was very simple, only a few words, "The King of Shicheng ambushed Gu Shaofeng in Thorn City", in his opinion, although it was an ambush, but with three thousand men and horses against six thousand Gu family soldiers, the chances of victory were slim.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for such shocking news to come.

Opening the city gate and seeing the head of Gu Shaofeng sent by Lubei, Zhu Baolin was stunned like an electric shock, and he was speechless, what kind of meaning does this head represent, Zhu Baolin really knows too well, that means that the six thousand guards of the Gu family have been annihilated by the three thousand soldiers and horses of Shicheng Kingdom!

At the same time, he was also keenly aware of Lubei's intention to send the head, and before he had time to sigh, he immediately ordered, except for a small number of men and horses to garrison, nearly 10,000 horses poured out of the nest and went straight to the wilderness. 35xs

At this time, the soldiers of Shicheng Kingdom won a great victory, and the news of Gu Shaofeng's beheading was coming out of the mouths of the Gu family's deserters, spreading like fire, and the countryside, the county seat, and it spread like a shocking thunderbolt.

The commander died in battle, the army in the open area was leaderless, in the face of a fierce general like Zhu Baolin, even though the troops were equal, but under the command of disorder, it was like a plate of loose sand, and was soon beaten to the head, and the soldiers and horses of the three counties of Jingui did not send troops to support the front in order to prevent the county from being captured, but turned away the deserters.

When the two sides were in full swing, the soldiers and horses of Shichengguo swaggered along the official road, passing by Jinguicheng, and then entering the hilly area, although the deserters saw the banner of Shichengguo from a distance, they were all frightened, and quickly changed their direction and fled.

When Fang Ling and the others came to the wilderness, Zhu Baolin's army was already clearing the battlefield.

Zhu Baolin and other generals who got the news rushed to the front, and when they saw the mighty Shicheng Kingdom soldiers, they couldn't help but be surprised.

This is the first time they, and the garrison of Qingzuka Castle have seen the soldiers of Ishijo Country, these soldiers are full of energy and high spirits, although they have the fatigue after the battle, but the spirit makes people feel powerful.

The eyes of every soldier are so cold, and the momentum of every soldier is so strong, even though there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses, but it feels like a group of lions and tigers, mighty and invincible.

What surprised them was not only the momentum exuded by everyone, but also the number of personnel, after defeating the six thousand elite soldiers of the Gu family and killing Gu Shaofeng, there were so many men and horses left on the other side, any of the generals present asked themselves, let alone three thousand men and horses, even if six thousand people and horses attacked the Gu family's personal guards, no one could guarantee that they could save so many people and horses and cut off Gu Shaofeng's head.

Shock, flowing in the hearts of every soldier, but in addition to this shock, there is a trace of shame in everyone's hearts, even Zhu Baolin is no exception, everyone thinks that the king of Shicheng is a character who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and the people and horses under his command are a group of wrecks. 35xs

However, it was this group of wrecks who went deep into the hinterland of the enemy army and killed the northern generals, what a courage, what a feat, and how fierce that battle was, no one knew or imagined, but everyone's hearts were full of reverence and reverence for this group of strong men.

And the one who commanded this group of strong men was the young King of Shicheng who had been ridiculed by everyone!

At this time, the young King Shicheng rode on a horse covered in sweat and blood, his face calm and unwavering, as if this battle was just an understatement with a flick of his fingers.

Zhu Baolin's face flushed, he strode to the front, and saluted respectfully for the first time, and said, "The last general, Zhu Baolin, will meet His Highness and congratulate His Highness on his triumph!"

All the generals bowed down in unison, and the generals who had despised Fang Ling buried their heads even lower, not daring to raise them.

Fang Ling jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "I wish the general and all the soldiers have also worked hard, so get up." ”

Zhu Baolin straightened up, his ears were a little red, and he said ashamedly: "Your Highness, the last general spoke too straight, and he was offended a few days ago, so please don't take it to heart." ”

Fang Ling said with a smile: "What this king admires most is a straightforward person, what is the guilt of wishing the general? Moreover, it is this king who deliberately does not say it, otherwise if the news spreads, how can it achieve the effect of a surprise attack?"

Zhu Baolin and the others were secretly relieved to see that Fang Ling didn't care, and they were even more moved by his generosity, and after ordering his subordinates to continue cleaning the battlefield, the stars hugged Fang Ling back to the city like a moon.

The warriors of Ishicheng were also treated preferentially, and the warriors of Aozuka Castle rushed to help carry the wounded, chattering about the ambush.

The soldiers were all glorious, proudly talking about the before and after of this great battle, the soldiers of Qingzuka City let out a chord of surprise when they heard it, and their eyes were even more like stars flashing, full of reverence.

A few days after the war, the ambush in the Valley of Thorns burned all over the Chu State like a fire, and even spread to the vast surrounding countries.

One stone startled a thousand waves, and now all parts of Chu State, whether it is ordinary people or famous families, or princes and generals, the king of Shicheng has become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner, and everyone knows it.

Three years ago, Fang Ling, who had lived in the cold palace for 16 years, answered the difficult questions raised by His Majesty at the prince's wedding ceremony, defeated the palace guards, and was crowned the king of Shicheng.

After coming to the fiefdom, the king of Shicheng subdued the bandit forces with a sweeping force, cleared the local stubborn diseases, unified the four cities, and then recruited talents, and had a good reputation among the people.

However, after all, Shicheng Kingdom is only a small land, and there are also various vassal states that recruit talents, so the news about Shicheng on the land gradually disappeared.

However, no one expected that three years later, Fang Ling would awaken people's memories of him again in such an amazing way.

It has been several months since the Rebellion of the Eight Kings began, and the army of the Eight Kings has been overwhelming, and the generals of all walks of life can be said to be invincible, and there have been few defeats.

Among the eight kings, the strength of Yizhou ranked in the top three, with more than 300,000 troops, and the generals of the east, west, north and south led the four roads to conquer Zizhou in the south, Xingzhou in the west and Xuzhou in the north.

When Gu Shaofeng mobilized his troops and prepared to conquer Qingzuka City, no matter which side of the people thought that it would be a hard battle to attack the city, Gu Shaofeng would either attack the city with a strange strategy, or concentrate heavy troops to attack the city, casualties on both sides were inevitable, but with the continuous increase of troops in Yizhou, it would eventually end in Gu Shaofeng's victory.

After all, compared to Gu Shaofeng's name, the small general Zhu Baolin is really too far behind, plus the troops in the entire Dingzhou are not much, all of them are concentrated in the important towns on the front line, and there is no spare strength to increase troops in Qingzuka City.

As for the King of Shicheng with 3,000 people and King Qin, whether it is a person who knows the inner story of the Holy Decree or a common man, everyone thinks that this is just a role of cannon fodder.

However, it was such an inconspicuous cannon fodder, who unknowingly appeared in Xuzhou with 3,000 men and horses, not only successfully ambushed the 6,000 guards of the Gu family, and exchanged the lives of more than 4,000 enemies at the cost of hundreds of sacrifices, but the king of Shicheng even beheaded the northern general Gu Shaofeng.

This is a ridiculous thing that no one expected, so much so that after the incident, many people thought it was just a rumor, but the fact that Gu Jiajun's army was subsequently defeated by Zhu Baolin's army undoubtedly proved this.

What made people even more stunned was that after fighting an ambush battle, King Shicheng and his entourage actually swaggered back to Qingzuka City along the official road! What a flamboyant and rampant way this was, it simply didn't take the army of Yizhou Kingdom into account.

However, this is the truth, courage, strategy, and strength, if you want to kill Gu Shaofeng, all three are indispensable, and when these three things that must be rare in the military family are perfectly combined with the young King of Shicheng, he has been dormant for three years, and he has risen to the sky.

This is the first big defeat of Yizhou country, and the defeat is so miserable, the army did not move, the commander was intercepted and killed halfway, and it was more to win with less, or in the land of Xuzhou occupied by the Yizhou army, which is equivalent to a slap in the face of the king of Yizhou.

After getting the news, the king of Yizhou smashed the golden chair angrily, and he had already issued a secret order for Fang Ling, he must be captured alive and tortured after being brought back to the royal city, in order to avenge the capture of the year.

However, Fang Ling opened in this way, which made Yizhou lose his good talents and his morale was greatly reduced, Fang Zongao immediately ordered to appoint Gu Shaofeng's uncle Gu Ziyun as the general of the north, and added 50,000 troops to the three counties of Jingui, vowing to break through Qingzun City and capture Fang Ling alive!

As soon as the war ended, new crises arose. Moreover, it was not only Fang Zongao who wanted to deal with Fang Ling, in the imperial city, there was also an enemy of another force.
