The land of Dingzhou is rich in osmanthus trees, whether it is the avenue and trail, or the remote mountain forest, you can see all kinds of blooming osmanthus everywhere, this way to smell the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, refreshing people's hearts, so that the fatigue of the fast horse march has also been reduced a lot.

Located in the east of Dingzhou, Qingzuka Castle is an important border town that guards the hinterland of Dingzhou, and the terrain where the city is located is very flat for hundreds of miles, with occasional small hills and large areas of woods, but in the middle of the terrain it suddenly goes high, forming two mountains that are difficult to cross, and the junction of the mountains is Qingzuka Castle.

This city is easy to defend and difficult to attack the military important place since ancient times, occupy Qingzuka City, back can overlook Dingzhou, can overlook Xuzhou before, every time there is a big war for thousands of years, here is the place where the soldiers must take it.

When there were still three miles away from the city, Fang Ling let the horses settle down, and he took Song Ying'er and Lubei to Qingzuka City.

When I got close to Qingzuka City, I suddenly felt a solemn aura, the source of which was the dense green mounds on the mountains on both sides, with no monuments and no words, only graves. Three hundred years ago, the Great Song Kingdom was destroyed, the old ministers divided the country, there were dozens of bloody battles here in Qingzuka City, thousands of people died, because the battle was tragic and urgent, the soldiers after the death were almost buried on the spot, and even the monument was not erected.

Three hundred years later, many of the mounds have been buried by dense weeds and trees, but if you look closely, you can easily tell that they are graves, full of mountains, and when a gust of wind blows, it seems that the cries of lonely ghosts are everywhere, which makes people shudder.

For Fang Ling, of course he didn't have any fear, he just had respect in his heart, if there was no blood of these warriors, how could there be this land of Chu now?

Hurry up, and soon have come to the city under the green mound city, the city wall is tall and magnificent, its momentum is not under the clear water pass, the city wall is made of heavy boulders, and a whole row of giant heavy crossbows and a forest of defenders are placed on the wall.

The city gate was wide open, and the two rows of soldiers guarding the gate stood on both sides with straight chests, their eyes were unwavering, because Fang Ling had already sent soldiers to report, so the soldiers guarding the city knew who was coming, and they had already knelt down.

At the same time, a black-faced man in his early thirties was walking out of the city, this man was of medium height, his eyes were bright, and his expression was calm and serious, like a clay sculpture, without the slightest change in expression.

When Fang Ling and the others got off the horse, the black-faced man had just stepped out of the city gate, he glanced at the people, and saw the young Fang Ling, with a beautiful woman like a flower and jade by his side, after a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he immediately appeared half a point of ridicule, as if he felt that the king of Shicheng regarded the war as a joke, and actually brought a woman over.

Although he thought so in his heart, the black-faced man still bowed, and said thoughtfully: "The last general, Li Yongcheng, visited His Royal Highness the King of Shicheng, and the general was unable to go out to greet him because of his official duties, and asked His Highness for forgiveness." ”

"Since General Zhu is busy, it is also appropriate not to come, Vice General Li, please lead the way." Fang Ling smiled slightly, waved his hand, along the way he had heard a lot of things about Zhu Baolin, it is said that this person is quite talented in military affairs, but because he does not understand the way of flattery, he has not been reused repeatedly, and now it is because of the emergency in Dingzhou, Yuan Dekang has to use him to guard this place.
