Chapter 262: I don't know

p1()

Everyone couldn't help nodding their heads, and the secret Mo Xiang spoke to the point, the most important thing at present is indeed to judge the enemy's movements. Flash Dance 35xs

Shen Huantian immediately hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness, leave the matter of finding out the enemy's movements to the minister, the minister's subordinates are all good at crossing mountains and forests, the misty mountains are not a problem, and the mountains and hills around Qingzuka City are even more trivial." ā€

Fang Ling nodded, Shen Huantian's old troops were all bandits from the Misty Mountain, and they were indeed very good at hiding and spying, he tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, and said: "In addition to finding out the enemy's movements, we must also know the strength of the defenders of Qingzuka City and their strategies, after all, Zhu Baolin will not take the initiative to send this information to the door." ā€

Dong Canghai clenched his fists and said: "This matter will be handed over to the minister, when the minister was a guard in the palace, he was repeatedly ordered to go out on official business, and he has been to this place in Dingzhou a few times, and he knows many generals in the army. Even if you don't know each other, as long as you are familiar with those generals, it is not difficult to inquire about the information. "Debuted SSM.33XS

"If a master says so, then I'm relieved. After Fang Ling finished speaking with a smile, he said to Mo Xiang again: "After Lord Shen and Master Shen lead the troops out, the affairs of this station will be fully entrusted to you, Miss Mo." ā€

Dong Canghai coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, if you want Miss Mo to be justified, it is better to have an official position." ā€

Fang Ling patted his head and said, "This king is confused, okay, then let Miss Mo be your military advisor." ā€

"The important task of the military advisor, how dare the little woman be it, the little woman's trip is just a modest contribution to His Royal Highness. Mo Xiang hurriedly said.

Fang Ling smiled faintly and said: "Miss Mo should not forget, I once said that since you go with me on the expedition, you have to obey my orders, this position of military advisor belongs to you, and when I am not there, the whole army will be commanded by you." ā€

Mo Xiang nodded helplessly, but when she heard Fang Ling praise it so much, her heart couldn't help but feel sweet.

Song Ying'er heard the meaning of the words, and said in surprise: "Your Highness, are you also going out?"

Fang Ling Zhengse said: "I'm going to go to those three county towns to take a look, Ying'er, you are here to be responsible for the security of the Mo Army Division." 35xsā€

Song Ying'er naturally knew the importance of Mo Xiang, so she obediently didn't speak again, and after everything was ordered, Fang Ling and Lu Bei followed Shen Huantian and his party towards the mountain.

The two mountains on the left and right of Qingzuka Castle are very steep, with a large number of dense forests and even poisonous substances, so it is basically impossible for a large number of soldiers to march, and if you want to cross it, you must have considerable cultivation.

It's just that this is like a pediatric for Shen Huantian and the others who are thieves in the Misty Mountain, there is no difficulty at all, and everyone is moving quickly along the way, and any dangerous areas are like walking on the ground.

When we crossed the mountain and arrived at the boundary of Dingzhou, it was already afternoon, standing at the foot of the mountain and looking back at Qingzuka City, the whole city was like a tombstone standing in the mountains, which showed the solidity of the copper wall and added a bit of desolation.

At the foot of the hill were graves one after another, each with the corpse of a warrior underneath, and the crowd sighed, put away their compassion, and marched quickly out of the city.

When the sun was about to set, they finally arrived fifteen miles outside the city, and everyone crouched on a hillside, and saw the vanguard of the Yizhou army from a distance. Fastest updated PC: s/

This unit specially chose an open area as its garrison, and stood in the distance to watch, the number of people can be said to be clear at a glance, and it seems that there are indeed only about 5,000 people.

However, behind this clearing is a sparse woodland, and there are many small hills around it, which is not only convenient for enemy troops to hide and fight, but also difficult to reconnoitre, and it is very easy to hide a few troops in it.

Fang Ling's heart was bright, no wonder Zhu Baolin was so sure that this was a bait, it seemed that he was quite familiar with the surrounding terrain, Qingzun City was a dangerous pass between the two mountains, if he refused to defend it, with a force of 10,000 horses, it would be very easy to defend it for ten days and a half months. Flash Dance 35xs But if you fight, in such a hilly area, it is easy to be eaten by the opponent in batches.

At the same time, Gu Shaofeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, deliberately threw the fat of these 5,000 men and horses here, if it is a bold general, it is very likely to act at night and make a surprise attack or something, thinking that with 10,000 against 5,000, the battle can be solved in a very short time.

It's just that if there are ambushes around, then the people who are afraid of being swallowed up are the people and horses of Qingzuka City.

If Zhu Baolin didn't fight, then Gu Shaofeng could at least analyze that this person had a cautious personality and was very likely to defend the city, so he would find another way to break the city.

Fang Ling silently observed the five thousand men and horses, all of them were strong and strong, strictly disciplined, with long and short weapons, as well as bows and arrows and crossbows, in addition, there were also siege ladders and battering rams in the open space, these people alone were quite difficult to deal with.

After staying for a while, Fang Ling told Shen Huantian and the others to be careful, continue to investigate, and then crossed the garrison with Lu Bei and entered the scope of Jingui County.

Bantai County, Wu County and Jingui County are distributed from west to east, almost in a straight line, parallel to Qingzuka City, and the distance is more than 20 miles.

Golden osmanthus is a variety of osmanthus, its flowers are golden, the taste is strong, Jingui County is famous for the abundance of golden osmanthus, now when the flowers are blooming, no matter the avenue and trail are full of flower fragrance.

However, the advent of the war makes people have no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of them, Jingui County, which is located next to the small river, has now been occupied by the Yizhou army, and there are tents outside the city, and people come and go in the camp.

Fang Ling roughly calculated, there were more than 2,000 soldiers stationed outside the city alone, so Fang Ling was even more convinced that the people stationed outside Qingzun City were bait, because a small county like Jingui County, the population was only tens of thousands, and the number of county soldiers was only four or five hundred at most, and a thousand soldiers stationed here were more than enough.

Of course, this judgment is not absolute, because there is another possibility that there are so many people defending the city, that is, Gu Shaofeng is here!

The gate of the county seat is wide open, and the soldiers of Yizhou State stand outside the city gate, strictly checking the road guide and household registration of the entrants, and the packages they carry will also be opened for inspection. Debuted M.33XS

At the same time, Fang Ling also noticed that everyone who entered the city had to pay a certain amount of silver taels, the ordinary people only used a few copper coins, and those who were richly dressed asked for a small piece of broken silver, and the merchants who had goods to carry goods had to pay a few pieces of broken silver when entering the city.

Lu Bei frowned and wondered: "What's going on, why do you have to pay money to enter the city?"

Fang Ling thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It seems that Gu Shaofeng wants to collect some entrance fees to subsidize the military salary, although this money seems to be painless, but it can be collected for a few hundred taels a day." ā€

Lu Bei snorted coldly and said: "It seems that Gu Shaofeng is not a good stubble, wouldn't it be to oppress the people when he came up with this kind of trick?"

Fang Ling said with far-reaching eyes: "He even oppressed the people, and those rich people in the city are only afraid of being squeezed more, but in order to save their lives, those people are afraid that they will rush to give gifts without the other party's words." But this time, there is no need to worry about entering the city. ā€

After that, he untied Kun Chongdao and Cun Ding and said, "You are waiting for me outside the city, and it is not easy for the other party to be suspicious when I go in alone." ā€

Lu Bei put away the two things, continued to lurk in the jungle outside the city, Fang Ling walked straight towards the city gate, came to the city gate, without saying a word, directly stuffed a silver ingot to the leader, panicked that this is his hometown, because he heard the news of the war and rushed back from the field, so the household registration road guide did not bring anything, please bear with the other party.

The little leader saw that he was young, had a good temperament, looked like a scholar, and that the amount of silver was sufficient, so he waved his hand and let him enter the city.

As soon as he entered the city, he took the initiative to ask a middle-aged merchant who came in at the same time: "Uncle, I just came back from other places, there is nothing wrong in this city, right?"

The middle-aged merchant was in his thirties and looked peaceful, he obviously heard Fang Ling talking to the little leader just now, and said kindly: "Little brother, don't worry, the city is still the same as before, and there is not even a battle." ā€

"You haven't even fought, so you have surrendered?" Fang Ling said in surprise.

The middle-aged businessman looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said: "Saying that surrender is not all surrender, originally Lieutenant Zhang led the county soldiers to prepare to defend to the death, but it turned out that Tan County Commander was a guy who was greedy for life and afraid of death. ā€

"There is such a thing?" Fang Ling frowned.

The middle-aged businessman sighed: "Who is right and who is wrong in this war, we ordinary people can't say, but Zhang County Lieutenant is really a good person, he has served in the city for ten years, and this Jingui County has been peaceful for ten years, and now he is thrown into prison, I don't know if he can come out alive." ā€

Fang Ling then asked, "What about this Tan County Order?"

The middle-aged merchant sneered and said, "Of course, he is the county commander of his steady, and I also heard that this guy has dedicated all the looted people's fat and ointment to General Gu, and this position has been preserved." ā€

Fang Ling's heart moved when he heard this, it seems that although this Gu Shaofeng has military talent, but this appetite is not small, if he conquers a place, he will receive a large amount of gold and silver treasures, but he is afraid that he will have a treasure trove around him.

He pretended to ask casually, "Then this General Gu is in the county seat?"

The middle-aged merchant shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, we ordinary people don't dare to inquire so much, now the city is full of soldiers from Yizhou State, you can't talk nonsense, little brother, you better go home quickly." ā€

Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, Fang Ling didn't ask any more, and after breaking up with him, he thought to himself as he walked, the army had arrived, Gu Shaofeng should have also arrived, he was unlikely to be in the team of five thousand people, so he must be in these three county towns, but it is unknown which one.
