The reason why Zhao Fan took the initiative to bring up this matter was also to win the trust of Chen Deng and Yue Yun, after all, he was just a subordinate, and he could only prove that he had no dissenting intentions through this means!

Chen Deng smiled slightly, and said, "Since the envoy has this intention, we have to consider this proposal, General Yue, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Yue Yun pondered for a moment and said: "Now that Guiyang County has been lowered, it is time for me and the Jun soldiers to go to attack the two counties of Lingling County and Wuling County, Wuling County is hundreds of miles away from the land of Guiyang, and it is inconvenient for me to lead too many soldiers and horses to go, only one thousand fine cavalry and three thousand fine armor!" Lingling County is empty, and Taishou is not in the county, so that Jun led an army of 10,000 to capture it, so there are still 6,000 soldiers and horses left, in my opinion, I ordered the school captain Ding Feng to lead these 6,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Guiyang, I don't know what to do with the king's intentions? ”

Guiyang County is related to the rear road of the army, and it is necessary to leave heavy troops to defend, otherwise it will be difficult to suppress Zhao Fan, Ding Feng led six thousand elites with the great victory of Bao Long, which is enough to suppress Zhao Fan, so that the land of Guiyang does not dare to act rashly!

Wuling County's county governance Hanshou City, that is, the Hanshou County where Guan Yu was sealed as the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, is not far from the Gong'an City, as long as Hanshou City is captured, Yue Yun can open up the connection with the main force of Yuan Yao's army, with Yue Yun's ability, it is easy to lead four thousand elites to capture Hanshou City, which is empty and unguarded, with the echo of Yuan Yao's army, it is not too difficult to defend it, Yue Yun led four thousand soldiers and horses to Wuling County is enough!

Chen Deng thought for a moment, then agreed to Yue Yun's plan, and said: "The general's words are very true, so Ding Feng led 6,000 soldiers and horses to guard the land of Guiyang, I don't know what the envoy thinks?" ”

When Zhao Fan was at the head of the city, he had already seen Ding Feng's strength, and he naturally didn't dare to underestimate the fierce man who could capture Baolong alive on the battlefield, so he hurriedly nodded and responded: "Captain Ding is brave and good at fighting, and if he leads the army to sit in Chenxian, this would be great!" ”

Chen Deng smiled slightly and responded: "Since this is the case, then arrange it like this!" ”

……

The army rested in Chenxian for a day, early the next morning, Yue Yun led 4,000 soldiers and horses to the north and went straight to the direction of Wuling County, he planned to reach Leiyang County in the north first, and then turn west through Chong'an, Zhaoyang, Zhaoling and other counties to bypass Changsha County, and after arriving in Wuling County, then continue to turn north and go straight to the county of Wuling County, Hanshou City!

Later, Chen Deng also led the army westward to Lingling County, he not only took the 10,000 soldiers and horses allocated to him by Yue Yun on this trip, but also asked Bao Long to select a thousand elites from the soldiers of Guiyang County, and follow him to attack Lingling County, so that some of the local soldiers and horses in Guiyang County could be reduced, so that Zhao Fan could be less careful.

Bao Long also has the intention of following Chen Deng to make meritorious contributions, plus Zhao Fan also wants to show his heart in this way, Bao Long and Zhao Fan are both very good at cooperating with each other, and soon they organized out a thousand elites to join Chen Deng's soldiers and horses, with the army in hand, Chen Deng's uncle Chen Yu and his younger brother Chen Ying finally have something to do, Chen Deng took Chen Yu and Chen Ying as righteous followers, and asked the two of them to assist him in taking care of the affairs of the army, which can be regarded as giving them some opportunities to make meritorious contributions!

After Chen Deng and Yue Yun led the army to leave, only Ding Feng led 6,000 elites and 2,000 soldiers were left in Guiyang County to defend it.

……

Guiyang County Zhichen County is not too far from Lingling County Zhiquanling County, with Bao Long, who is familiar with geography, to lead the way, Chen Deng's troops and horses quickly arrived at the junction of Lingling County and Guiyang County, Chen Deng's troops and horses are extremely fast, plus Chen Deng also let Zhao Fan block the news of Lingling County, so at this time, the Lingling garrison did not know the news that Guiyang County had changed hands, and they were not at all prepared for the possible enemy of Guiyang County!

Quanling County, where Lingling County is located, is next to Guiyang County, as long as you reach the territory of Lingling County, you can go directly to Quanling City!

However, there is still a checkpoint between Quanling City and Guiyang County, and that is Quanling Pass!

Quanling Pass is located on a dangerous mountain road, the terrain is extremely dangerous, there is quite a husband when the pass is not open, there are hundreds of defenders in the city to guard, if you can't capture this city as soon as possible, maybe there is really a little trouble!

After the army came to the vicinity of Quanling Pass, Bao Long stepped forward and said: "Envoy, since the villain surrendered, he has not made any credit, the terrain of Quanling City is dangerous, it is the best policy to outwit the party, the villain is not talented, if he leads fifty iron horsemen to deceive the city, in order to repay the grace of the envoy and General Yue!" ”

Bao Long, as an officer of Guiyang County, often came to Lingling County on business before, and was naturally very familiar with Quanling City, Chen Deng listened to Bao Long's words, and he also understood his intentions, and said: "Since the general has the heart to make meritorious contributions, I am naturally not good at stopping it, Chen Ying, you led three hundred elites to General Bao as a response, and when you saw General Bao open the city gate, you immediately waved his army to cover up and kill, and you must ensure the safety of General Bao!" ”

Chen Ying saw that his eldest brother had given him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and he was immediately overjoyed, and bowed down and responded: "No, the last general will take the order, and he will not miss the important matter of the envoy, and he will definitely ensure the safety of General Bao!" ”

Although Bao Long also knew about Chen Deng's move, and wanted him to give Chen Ying a share of the credit, but he was just a general, and the opportunity to make meritorious service was already good, what else could he ask for at this time?

Bao Long also hurriedly followed and said: "Thank you for your love and protection, this trip will open the city gate for the king's deception and take Quanling Pass lightly!" ”

……

Chen Deng ordered fifty elite cavalry to Bao Long, and ordered Chen Ying to lead three hundred elites to fall far behind, and the three hundred and fifty elites rushed all the way to Quanling Pass.

In order to wait for the rear army of Chen Ying's department, Bao Long walked slowly all the way, and everyone marched for about an hour before they came to Quanling Pass!

I saw that Quanling Pass is located on the mountainside, one side is a cliff that is difficult to climb, and the other side is a bottomless cliff abyss, Quanling Pass is built on the mountain road, and the road to Lingling County is stuck, if you want to go to Quanling County, you must first open this Guancheng!!

At this time, the atmosphere of the war in Jingzhou has been pervasive for a long time, and the cities in various places dare not open and close for people to pass, in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking up and the enemy army from working carefully!

Although the Lingling defenders still don't know the news that Guiyang County has fallen, Quanling Pass has already closed the Guancheng and cut off the road to Guiyang County, and will only reopen the Guancheng after their own Taishou Liu Du returns to Lingling County!
