The large and small sects of the rivers and lakes who had been waiting in Zhongzhou City for many days rushed to Qingde County, which made Xiao Ding very happy, although the purpose of their coming was to destroy the rampant Tianluo Gate and the Earth Demon Valley. But Xiao Ding felt that he could use them as special forces and let them help him conquer the city.

Seeing that Fan Sanpang, Sun Dasheng, and Luo Dafeng also came with the army, Xiao Ding was even more happy, especially when he saw Fan Sanpang, he immediately thought of a candidate to help him deliver the letter, and Fan Sanpang had to be.

Although this Fan Sanpang's martial arts are very ordinary, it is still possible to protect himself. He has an ordinary appearance, and he will not attract the attention of others too much, and his weapon is the pot on his back, even if he mixes into Xiguan City, someone at the city gate strictly checks the person carrying weapons, and he will not think that his pot is a weapon. Besides, he will work lightly, even if his deeds are exposed and the city gates are closed, he must have a way to escape from the city.

After looking for a good candidate, Xiao Ding didn't say it to his face, after all, these talents had just entered the city, they were tired on the road, and they hadn't rested yet.

A total of four or five thousand people came, and the guest rooms in the county government could not accommodate so many people, so Xiao Ding had to arrange for these people to go to the barracks and set up more tents to live. If you don't like the poor living conditions in the barracks, you can go to the city to find an inn to live in, and of course, the cost is also paid by yourself.

However, even at their own expense, there are still many sects who are willing to go out and find inns to live in. At least it is more convenient to go out and live, and the conditions will be better.

There are only some small sects, because they have spent a lot of money in Zhongzhou City these days, and now they are a little short of money, so they obey the arrangement of Xiao Ding to live in the military camp. In the barracks, you can eat and live with the soldiers without spending a penny. For these small sects that are tight on money, they are still very content.

After arranging most of the people, only a small number of leaders were arranged in the guest rooms of the county office. For example, Mei Qiuyang, Bai Qianbei, Master Xuanku and others.

There were also the girls who surrounded Xiao Ding as soon as they met, and they were chatting around Yue Yurou at this time. I haven't seen each other for many days, and after they get together, they naturally want to gossip about it.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xiao Ding called Fan Sanpang over, took out the letter written to Gu Ziji, the commander of the garrison of Xiguan City, handed it to Fan Sanpang, and told him to sneak into Xiguan City, pretend to send it wrong, and send it to Wang Ba.

Fan Sanpang didn't understand what Xiao Ding meant, why did he send the letter to Gu Ziji to Wang Ba?

Xiao Ding smiled slightly, and said: "I heard that Gu Ziji was the commander of the soldiers and horses of Jiaozhou before, and he was very talented in military affairs, so the king of Jiaozhou trusted him and asked him to guard Xiguan City." If we want to attack Xiguan City, if we face him head-on, he already has experience in commanding operations, and has the support of the other two cities, and our hope of victory is very slim, therefore, if we want to take Xiguan City, we can't let Gu Ziji continue to be the commander, I sent you to deliver a letter this time, so that this trick is called a divisive plan. In order to dissociate the trust of the king of Jiaozhou in Gu Ziji. ”

"How did you break the trust of the King of Jiaozhou in Gu Ziji?" Fan Sanpang hasn't understood yet.

"On the letter I wrote to Gu Ziji, I wrote how to collude with him, how to make him turn against the king of Jiaozhou, and when he took the initiative to surrender the city, think about it, if Wang Ba sees these contents, he will definitely tell the king of Jiaozhou that Gu Ziji has the intention of rebellion, and the king of Jiaozhou will naturally not continue to let Gu Ziji be the commander of Xiguan City. If, change the straw bale to be the commander, then it will be much easier for us to attack Xiguan City again! Xiao Ding said his intentions.

"Ah, I see! So how do you know that the king of Jiaozhou will be fooled? Fan Sanpang continued to question.

"I have already sent someone to send two heads of his generals to the king of Jiaozhou today, and he will inevitably be furious when he sees the heads, and his mood will not improve within a few days. Think about it, when he is angry and in a bad mood, how can he think carefully about the truth of things? Xiao Ding explained.

"Brother Xiao Ding is really resourceful! Okay, I'll send the letter as Brother Ding instructed. Fan Sanpang responded

Fan Sanpang figured out Xiao Ding's intentions, so he immediately put away the letter, left Qingde County, rode a fast horse, and came towards Xiguan City.

According to the investigation report, Xiguan City is now only open for an hour every day, and at noon, the city gate will be closed immediately, which is still in the case of no army attacking, if there is an army attacking, the city gate can never be opened.

Although the gates are open for one hour a day, not all of them are open. The city stipulates that the only gate that can be opened every day is the west gate. All the people who wanted to go out of the city and enter the city had to go through the western gate.

Why the West Gate? Because the west city gate is facing the direction of Jiaozhou City, while the north city gate is facing the direction of Qingde County, and the south city gate is facing the north bank of the Dongjiang River.

The Dongjiang River is also one of the tributaries of the Zhuyue River, and the flow is not small.

Fan Sanpang galloped all the way to the West Gate of Xiguan City, and it was not yet noon. There was a long queue inside and outside the city gates.

Most of these people who go in and out of the city are people from the countryside outside the city, and they send some food, fruits, vegetables, daily necessities and other things to the city every day in exchange for some money to get by. The people in the city have no land to plant, so they naturally need the goods sent by these people outside the city, most of which are daily needs.

Recently, because of the control of the city gate, the price of many items in the city has risen, and the people are complaining, they can control the city gate for whatever reason, they just want to live honestly. It is not easy for anyone to make money, and no one wants to spend a high price to buy items that are several times more expensive than usual, but some necessities, such as grain and vegetables, have to be bought.

Therefore, the people in the city have a deep resentment against the county orders in the city.

Fan Sanpang got off the horse and honestly lined up at the end of the line, patiently waiting to enter the city.

But it was also his bad luck, and it was his turn to be next, and the man in front of him had already entered the city, and he was just about to step forward, when the guard of the city gate struck the gong and shouted: "Noon has come, close the city gate!" ”

When Fan Sanpang saw it, he was in a hurry, he was only one step away from entering the city, did he have to wait until tomorrow?

He hurriedly took out two taels of silver from his arms, handed them to the guard in front of him, and begged in a low voice: "Brother guard, you can make it convenient, I have something important to go into the city, you just let me in."

Seeing that, the soldiers pushed the city gate to isolate Fan Sanpang outside the city. The guard who took the silver checked the silver in his hand, waved his hand at Fan Sanfat, and said, "Come in!" ”

Fan Sanpang hurriedly jumped forward, like a rabbit, and got through the crack in the door that was about to close.

After entering, Fan Sanpang was still secretly wiping his sweat, saying that it was dangerous, fortunately the guard was greedy for money, otherwise he would not have been able to enter today.

Two taels of silver are also a lot in this era, and if they are exchanged for copper plates, they can be exchanged for two thousand copper plates, and the pork in this era is only fourteen or fifteen copper plates and one catty.

The monthly money of the city gate guard may not be able to earn two taels of silver. suddenly got Fan Sanpang's two taels of silver, and he was naturally happy to let Fan Sanpang in.

After entering the city, Fan Sanpang thought that he must personally hand over this letter to Wang Ba, if he asked someone else to hand it over, maybe this letter would be sent to Gu Ziji, in that case, wouldn't the Xiaoding brothers' plan be completely frustrated?

However, how can he personally deliver the letter to Wang Ba without leaking any flaws?
