Chapter 20: Rise to Fame in the First World War (3)
After coming to the fiefdom, the king of Shicheng subdued the bandit forces with a sweeping force, cleared the local stubborn diseases, unified the four cities, and then recruited talents, and had a good reputation among the people.
However, after all, Shicheng Kingdom is only a small land, and there are also various vassal states that recruit talents, so the news about Shicheng on the land gradually disappeared.
However, no one expected that three years later, Fang Ling would awaken people's memories of him again in such an amazing way.
It has been several months since the Rebellion of the Eight Kings began, and the army of the Eight Kings has been overwhelming, and the generals of all walks of life can be said to be invincible, and there have been few defeats.
Among the eight kings, the strength of Yizhou ranked in the top three, with more than 300,000 troops, and the generals of the east, west, north and south led the four roads to conquer Zizhou in the south, Xingzhou in the west and Xuzhou in the north.
When Gu Shaofeng mobilized his troops and prepared to conquer Qingzuka City, no matter which side of the people thought that it would be a hard battle to attack the city, Gu Shaofeng would either attack the city with a strange strategy, or concentrate heavy troops to attack the city, casualties on both sides were inevitable, but with the continuous increase of troops in Yizhou, it would eventually end in Gu Shaofeng's victory.
After all, compared to Gu Shaofeng's name, the small general Zhu Baolin is really too far behind, plus the troops in the entire Dingzhou are not much, all of them are concentrated in the important towns on the front line, and there is no spare strength to increase troops in Qingzuka City.
As for the King of Shicheng with 3,000 people and King Qin, whether it is a person who knows the inner story of the Holy Decree or a common man, everyone thinks that this is just a role of cannon fodder.
However, it was such an inconspicuous cannon fodder, who unknowingly appeared in Xuzhou with 3,000 men and horses, not only successfully ambushed the 6,000 guards of the Gu family, and exchanged the lives of more than 4,000 enemies at the cost of hundreds of sacrifices, but the king of Shicheng even beheaded the northern general Gu Shaofeng.
This is a ridiculous thing that no one expected, so much so that after the incident, many people thought it was just a rumor, but the fact that Gu Jiajun's army was subsequently defeated by Zhu Baolin's army undoubtedly proved this.
What made people even more stunned was that after fighting an ambush battle, King Shicheng and his entourage actually swaggered back to Qingzuka City along the official road! What a flamboyant and rampant way this was, it simply didn't take the army of Yizhou Kingdom into account.
However, this is the truth, courage, strategy, and strength, if you want to kill Gu Shaofeng, all three are indispensable, and when these three things that must be rare in the military family are perfectly combined with the young King of Shicheng, he has been dormant for three years, and he has risen to the sky.
This is the first big defeat of Yizhou country, and the defeat is so miserable, the army did not move, the commander was intercepted and killed halfway, and it was more to win with less, or in the land of Xuzhou occupied by the Yizhou army, which is equivalent to a slap in the face of the king of Yizhou.
After getting the news, the king of Yizhou smashed the golden chair angrily, and he had already issued a secret order for Fang Ling, he must be captured alive and tortured after being brought back to the royal city, so as to avenge the capture of the year.
However, Fang Ling opened in this way, which made Yizhou lose his good talents and his morale was greatly reduced, Fang Zongao immediately ordered to appoint Gu Shaofeng's uncle Gu Ziyun as the general of the north, and added 50,000 troops to the three counties of Jingui, vowing to break through Qingzun City and capture Fang Ling alive!
