Fortunately, he learned the Level 2 Danfang Four Supplement Pill from Huo Junyuan, so even if the knife wound penetrated deep into the bone, it could be recovered within ten days, which can be described as a miraculous effect. Flash Dance 35xs
Song Ying'er came from outside the courtyard with breakfast, and when she saw that Fang Ling had woken up, she put all the food on the stone table in the courtyard, and then chuckled: "Your Highness, the gates of Qingzun City are about to be broken, but you, the protagonist, are sitting here leisurely, but it's too leisurely." ”
Fang Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly, of course he understood what Song Ying'er meant, although he didn't dare to say that this battle was famous all over the world, but it definitely made a name, although the Eight Kings Rebellion has so far that some generals of the eight vassal states have died in battle, but at most it is at the level of deputy generals, and there is no news that the general-level characters have died in battle, but as soon as Fang Ling came out, he killed the northern general of Yizhou State, this news is not shocking.
The generals are also divided into grades, the lowest is only from the fifth grade, the highest is the first grade, the gap and treatment are very large, and the people and horses led by them are of course very different.
Because of the vassal states, although the grade of Yizhou imitates that of Chu, like the deputy general and the general, the grade is at most three or four grades, but the northern general is listed as a first-class important minister, so the important minister was killed, and the morale of Yizhou was greatly damaged, and even the other seven kings were implicated.
Although the Eight Kings claimed to have launched a rebellion on the grounds of saving the people from fire and water, they looted property every time they attacked the city and plundered the land, which caused dissatisfaction among the people everywhere and the people's resentment boiled.
Therefore, after this battle, many people came one after another, some wanted to join the army, and some wanted to see the demeanor of the King of Shicheng.
Of course, among these people, spies from Yizhou and all parties are indispensable, but it is unreasonable to shut them all out and ignore them. Therefore, Zhu Baolin first reviewed the people who were willing to join the army on the grounds that Fang Ling was injured and recuperated, and promised that after joining the army, he would definitely be able to let them meet the King of Shicheng.
As a result, the number of soldiers in Qingzuka Castle has risen in a straight line, and the number of new soldiers has reached 6,000 in just five days. 35xs
Although many people know in their hearts that if they really fight with 50,000 horses and horses in Yizhou, only a few will be able to come back alive, but as an eight-foot man, he can't bear to live a life of inaction.
Before Fang Ling's meal was finished, he saw Lu Bei hurrying over, kneeling on the ground and shouting, "Your Highness, there is a holy decree coming!"
"Holy Decree, fast enough. Fang Ling sneered, he didn't expect this holy decree to bring any good words, but he was afraid that something that would cause a headache would come again, he waved his hand and asked Song Ying'er to put away the food, brushed the dust on his robe, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
When the decree arrived, the officials of the city came outside the city to greet them, and when the eunuch finished reading the holy decree, the faces of the generals were different.
Hearing that the emperor asked Fang Ling to rule over the 50,000 soldiers and horses on the front line of Dingzhou, many people were excited, feeling that the king of Shicheng had finally been recognized by the emperor, holding the Dingzhou army in his hand, and repelling Gu Ziyun's 50,000 horses and horses, but the experienced and deep could smell a trace of conspiracy.
After the eunuch delivered the holy decree, he walked away surrounded by the palace guards, while Fang Ling and the others returned to the county hall and began to discuss the new situation brought by the holy decree.
Fang Ling put the rolled holy decree on the table in the lobby, turned around, and slowly swept his gaze over the people around him, Song Ying'er, Mo Xiang, Dong Canghai, Shen Huantian, Zhu Baolin and Li Yongcheng, although the expressions of the six people were different, but their expressions were a little dignified, even though they did not necessarily understand the mystery contained in the holy decree, but intuitively they would think that it would not be as simple as it sounded.
Fang Ling was even more so, he had been very concerned about the war in Dingzhou as early as when he was in the fiefdom, and he had already inquired about the generals of various important towns, so as soon as he heard the holy decree, he could almost guess the mystery of it, and at the same time snorted secretly in his heart.
Before he could speak, Song Ying'er said with a suspicious face: "Your Majesty has such a good heart, and actually handed over all the battles on the front line in Dingzhou to His Royal Highness, the concubine feels that there must be fraud here!"
Fang Ling smiled dumbly, this girl was deeply favored by her mother, and she had long been worried about her mother being framed by Empress Song, but this suspicion was right. Flash Dance 35xs
Dong Canghai nodded and said: "Miss Song is right, and the minister also thinks that there must be something strange in this, there is Queen Song in the imperial city, I am afraid that I will not let such a good errand come out." ”
Fang Ling snorted coldly: "Of course there is something strange! this should not be hidden from General Zhu, right?"
Zhu Baolin said with a solemn expression: "The five major towns on the border of Dingzhou, including Qingzuka City, the remaining four cities are guarded by heavyweight generals, and each of the generals of these four cities is from an extraordinary background, with the support of local forces. Therefore, His Majesty's holy decree seems to give His Highness more power on the surface, but the real military power is still in the hands of the four major generals, if His Highness wants to command the frontline war, if he fails to subdue them, I am afraid that the Dingzhou front line will be a mess!"
As soon as these words were finished, everyone suddenly realized, and Shen Huantian snorted heavily: "Queen Song is so poisonous, she actually equates the national war with child's play, thinking that the fall of Dingzhou will also cause Her Royal Highness to die!"
Song Ying'er said with a solemn face when she heard this: "Your Highness, then what should we do now?" Gu Ziyun's 50,000 horses are afraid that they will arrive here in a few days, and the other Yizhou soldiers and horses on the border of Xuzhou are also ready to move, if they can't let these four generals obey the order, it will be troublesome." ”
Fang Ling didn't know that this was a troublesome matter, and he said lightly: "If it's not troublesome, how can it be regarded as a poisonous plan? However, since it's a plan, there must be a countermeasure, and if it is used well, it will be beneficial to us and not harmful." ”
Mo Xiangwan, who had not spoken, said: "What Your Highness said is extremely true, this holy decree looks extremely terrifying, and all the battles on the front line in Dingzhou will be coordinated by His Highness, and one omission will lead to the loss of reputation." However, there is one thing that is very good for us, and that is - the big picture!"
"The big picture?" everyone looked at Mo Xiang.
Mo Xiang said calmly: "The battlefield is like a chess field, the more chess pieces in our hands, the more tricks we can use, and the bigger the game we can control, the higher the chance of winning! ”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Fang Ling secretly said that Mo Xiang was smart, and he hit the nail on the head, and he said: "If you just use the power of Qingzuka City to deal with Gu Ziyun's army of 50,000, it is indeed a bit difficult, but if this king can smoothly dispatch the soldiers and horses of the other four cities, then Gu Ziyun's army is no longer a threat." ”
Li Yongcheng couldn't help but say: "But Your Highness, the premise of all this must be based on the four generals obeying orders, if Your Highness insists on transferring the people of the four cities to Qingzuka City to defend against the enemy, I am afraid that they will resist the order and disrespect it." ”
Zhu Baolin said with a sad face: "The remaining four cities are Luquan City, Shanghu City, Huishan City and Pingqiao City, and the generals stationed there are Zheng Jun, Wu Tianshan, Bai Guangling and Wei Qiuran. Among these four people, Zheng Jun and Wu Tianshan formed a faction, Bai Guangling and Wei Qiuran formed a faction, Zheng Wu and Bai Wei were the four major families in Dingzhou, powerful and powerful, if they were forcibly ordered, they were afraid of attracting the dissatisfaction of local forces, and it would be quite unfavorable to the war at that time. ”
Fang Ling was silent, he turned around and walked to the upper seat of the county hall and sat down, closed his eyes and thought deeply.
Seeing that Fang Ling didn't speak, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and they could all feel the difficulty of this predicament, after all, in the face of the four major generals, they couldn't use the strong ones, and they were afraid that they wouldn't listen to the soft ones, so what other way could they subdue them?
Zhu Baolin and Li Yongcheng, as generals in Dingzhou, knew the power behind these four people, and they were also familiar with the personalities of the four people, so they couldn't help but secretly worry about Fang Ling.
For ordinary people, because of the extraordinary reputation of the Valley of Thorns, Fang Ling had great hopes, and now the Holy Decree ordered him to coordinate the war in Dingzhou, I am afraid that they all think that he can fight a good battle again, but if he loses the battle, his previous reputation will be ruined.
Queen Song's plan can really be described as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle.
Fang Ling was silent, and everyone didn't dare to disturb, and they all thought about the problem to solve.
Mo Xiang suddenly asked: "General Zhu, you just said that Zheng Jun and Wu Tianshan formed a faction, and Bai Guangling and Wei Qiuran formed a faction, so it means that the Zheng family and the Wu family, the Bai family and the Wei family are an alliance?"
Zhu Baolin nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
Mo Xiang asked again: "Then why does the Zheng family want to ally with the Wu family, and the Bai family wants to form an alliance with the Wei family? The little woman has lived in Bingzhou for many years, and she has also heard a little about the affairs of Dingzhou. ”
When Fang Ling heard this, his heart suddenly moved, yes, the dispute between the four major families is only afraid of a conflict of interests, if it is just like this, then in the current situation of the great enemy, it is possible to cooperate, after all, if the front line is breached, it will not be beneficial to any family, but they are in separate positions, there must be a deep-rooted contradiction in this, he immediately opened his eyes, and asked Zhu Baolin: "The Mo military division is right, is there a deeper reason for the contradiction between these four families?"
Zhu Baolin replied: "As the Mo military master said, the conflict between the four great families is indeed related to one thing. ”
"What's the matter?" Fang Ling hurriedly asked.
Zhu Baolin said in detail: "This matter started more than 20 years ago, when the four major families got along relatively peacefully, although there were occasional conflicts of interest in the industry in Dingzhou City, but it could be resolved through negotiation, especially the younger generation of the four major families got along very well, but there was an accident on the way to a parade in their group. ”
Li Yongcheng seemed to know about this and listened quietly on the side, while the others all looked at Zhu Baolin, not knowing what this so-called accident was.
