Chapter 219: Ding Lin's Poisonous Scheme
Ding Lin can become one of the three partial generals under Shi Mao, although he mainly relies on the ability to slap horses, but the intelligence value of up to 86 points is not given in vain, just say that the situation of the entire Jue'an County, Ding Lin almost knows everything.

Through Ding Lin's introduction, Liu Ji knew the details of the border armies in Moxi and Ningchuan counties, as well as the specific origins of the two generals who controlled these two counties.
The border army of Moxi County is mainly concentrated in Moxi City, and the name of the partial general guarding Moxi City is Gong Xun, and there are eight out of forty this year, and the border army under the control of Gong Xun is about 5,000 people, and these 5,000 border troops are elite soldiers.
In addition, the Gong family, where Gong Xun is located, belongs to the Jiangmen who has guarded Moxi City for many years, and the 5,000 border troops in Moxi County are all controlled by the children of the Gong family.
Today's Gong family has a lion and nine tigers, and this lion refers to the partial general Gong Xun, and the nine tigers include Gong Xun's five sons and four nephews.
A few years ago, the Cangxiong tribe of Lou Fu tribe had been wiped out by Liu Ji, and sent troops into Moxi County to plunder, and suffered a lot of losses in the hands of the Gong family, the lions and nine tigers, and lost almost a thousand cavalry, and later the Cangxiong tribe sent a large army to attack Moxi City to retaliate, but the army of the Cangxiong tribe could not be conquered for a long time, and after losing thousands of people, it caught up with the heavy snowfall in the sky, and finally had no choice but to withdraw to the prairie.
After Moxi City withstood the revenge of the Cangxiong tribe, it spread the reputation of the Gong family's one lion and nine tigers, and some weaker tribes on the grassland have tried not to enter Moxi County to loot in recent years, and the Gong family's one lion and nine tigers are indeed not easy to mess with.
The main force of the border army of Ningchuan County is also concentrated in Ningchuan City, and the name of the partial general guarding Ningchuan City is Fan Shitai, who is only in his early thirties this year, and comes from the Fan family who has guarded Ningchuan City for many years, and the Fan family also belongs to Jiangmen.
The border army of Ningchuan County is stronger, with a total strength of about 7,000 to 8,000, which can all be regarded as elite, and Ningchuan City is a big city with an area similar to Shangyuan City, even now, the population of Ningchuan City is more than 100,000, and about 30,000 or 40,000 young and strong men in the city will receive military training every month, and these tens of thousands of young and strong men are controlled by the children of the Fan family.
The Gong family in Moxi City has a lion and nine tigers, and the Fan family in Ningchuan City also has eight masters, the partial general Fan Shitai is the head of the eight heroes of the Fan family, and the remaining seven heroes are all Fan Shitai's own brothers and cousins, and although the father and three uncles of the partial general Fan Shitai have left the military position, they are still not old, and the four generals of the older generation of the Fan family are not even as old as the partial general Gong Xun of Moxi City, and there is no problem in killing the enemy.
The Zhou family, which originally guarded Chengyin City, that is, Zhou Kai's family, although they are the same as the Gong family in Moxi City and the Fan family in Ningchuan City, they all belong to the Jiangmen who have guarded the border for many years, but because of the scarcity of the Zhou family, in Zhou Kai's generation, there is only Zhou Kai's lone seedling left, so in terms of strength, it is much worse than the Gong family in Moxi City and the Fan family in Ningchuan City.
And because of the weak strength of the Zhou family, Chengyin County suffered more invasions from the Hu people, and as a result, the strength of the Zhou family became weaker and weaker.
After listening to Ding Lin's introduction to Moxi County and Ningchuan County, Liu Ji couldn't help frowning, the two generals of the Gong family and the Fan family are definitely not easy to subdue, and they both belong to the border army of the Great Jin Dynasty, Liu Ji can't send troops to attack Moxi County and Ningchuan County!
Ding Lin frowned when he saw Liu Ji, and then said with a smile: "Lord, although the Gong family in Moxi City and the Fan family in Ningchuan City are both very strong, it is not impossible to subdue these two!" ”
Liu Ji couldn't help asking, "Lao Ding, what can you do?" ”
Ding Lin smiled again and said: "Lord, the border army of Moxi County and the border army of Ningchuan County are currently supported by the Gong family and the Fan family alone, and the imperial court has not paid military salaries to the border troops of Jue'an County for several years, of course, the taxes of the counties of Jue'an County have also been intercepted by the border troops of each county, and the reason why the Gong family and the Fan family have raised so many border troops is because Moxi County and Ningchuan County have not been destroyed much by Hulu in recent years, and the two counties harvest a lot of grain every year. ”
Hearing Ding Lin mention food, Liu Ji touched his chin thoughtfully, he somewhat understood what Ding Lin's method was.
"Once the lord sends his cavalry to disguise themselves as Hulu and destroy the fields in Moxi County and Ningchuan County, then the Gong family and the Fan family, who have no food, will definitely compromise with the lord in the end, and there are already many Hu people under the lord's command, and there will be almost no flaws in the cavalry dressed as Hulu, and the most important thing is that there is no shortage of food in the hands of the lord."
Then Liu Ji stared at Ding Lin for a long time, and said with a sigh: "Lao Ding, this plan of yours is poisonous enough, if you destroy the fields in Moxi County and Ningchuan County, and make the grain harvest in the two counties extinct in a large area, then the two counties don't know how many people will starve to death!" ”
"Lord, if you want the Gong family in Moxi City and the Fan family in Ningchuan City, such a powerful general will submit to the lord, and you can't do it without using some extraordinary means."
"The affairs of the Gong family and the Fan family will be put aside first, and after returning to Chengyin City, General Ben is going to immediately send a force to take over Hezhi County and Baihe County, so that the six counties of Ju'an County will be able to do their best, and Moxi County and Ningchuan County will take it slowly!"
Ding Lin was very disdainful of Liu Ji's benevolence, but he didn't show it on the surface, but said loyally: "Lord, Zhang Yi, the partial general of Hezhi County, and Leng Hong, the partial general of Baihe County, were both bought by Shi Mao before, so they are familiar with their subordinates, so it is better to let their subordinates follow the army to Hezhi County and Baihe County, with the three inches of their subordinates' incorruptible tongues, there should be no problem in receiving Hezhi County and Baihe County!" ”
"It's okay, then I'll trouble Lao Ding for you to go! By the way, Lao Ding, how do you know that General Ben is not short of food? ”
"Lord, the Bear Tribe is one of the five tribes of the Loufu Clan, the Lord has taken the Bear Tribe in a nest, and the wealth obtained is definitely an astronomical amount, even if the Lord does not have much food in his hand now, but he can also buy food from outside!"
"Lao Ding! If you dare to betray General Ben, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, General Ben will definitely send someone to get rid of you, otherwise General Ben will not be able to sleep well at night! ”
"Uh...... This, thank you for the compliment, Ding Lin will never dare to betray the lord in this life! ”
