Chapter 13 Unification of the Four Counties (3)
So everyone scrambled to talk about the secret, because they got a lot of hidden treasure locations in the city, especially in Yuan Ba's mansion, they found several secret rooms, each of which was full of gold and silver treasures, which could be described as rich and rivaled the country, but he never dreamed that the wealth he had collected in the past ten years would be cheaper than Fang Ling.
At the same time, from the mouths of Guo Junyi and others, they also got all kinds of news from Shicheng County, they can be said to be pouring into the nest this time, and there are less than thirty bandits left in Shicheng County.
On the second day, Fang Ling ordered his soldiers to collect a large amount of timber and pile it up in Blackwood City, and a fire burned Blackwood City, which had been the largest black market city in the north for ten years on the border, and was in ruins a few days after Fang Ling arrived here.
Then, the soldiers escorted the carriage and prisoners, and together with Fang Ling, they went to the Trench Canyon.
Fang Ling was not worried about the situation of the surrounding five cities, as early as Dong Canghai and others in the reconnaissance, he knew that the scale of the five cities was much smaller than that of Heimu City, and the trade of the black market was not developed.
Of course, the most important problem is that he only has 300 county soldiers in his hands now, and if he is too scattered, he is afraid of causing trouble, so the most important thing now is to open up the road between Shicheng and Feng County.
After two days of travel, everyone finally looked at Shicheng County in the valley mouth of the Tianqian Canyon, Shicheng County sat in front of the valley pass, built magnificently, the whole city is like a fortress, both the scale of the city and the fortifications are not comparable to the three counties of Feng County, looking at it from a distance, it is like a giant guarding the northern entrance of the Chu country.
Where are the more than 30 bandits who are the opponents of the 300 county soldiers, it did not take much time to conquer Shicheng County, and it can be said that it is overwhelming along the way.
Because the thieves have lived in the county for a long time, it has long been a mess, a large number of houses have been badly damaged, and even the county government has been burned as if it has been burned, and a high banner is erected in the city, and the flags are hung with heads.
Fang Ling ordered the soldiers to search the city, and at the same time opened the county prison that had been sealed for a long time, and locked Yuan Ba and the others inside. Then, Shen Huantian presided over the reconstruction of the city by 100 county soldiers, and Dong Canghai led 100 people to the southern mountain road to open up the mountain road buried by the other party.
At the same time, Chen Mou and others, who got the news, also started excavation work on the other side of the mountain road, so after just seven days, the road to Shicheng was finally opened again.
Then, Fang Ling drew 300 county soldiers from the county, plus 200 county soldiers assigned by the city, led by Dong Canghai, to the five surrounding small cities.
Although the five small cities have long been empty, but there are still a lot of materials that have been left behind, and even a lot of gold and silver treasures, after all these things are transported away, the five small cities have also been burned down like the Black Wood City, so far, the six border cities outside the Tianqian Canyon have become no man's land, and the four county towns are finally completely in the hands of Fang Ling.
As for the destruction of the six cities of Blackwood City, although the matter is related to the King of Stone City in the rumors of the outside world, there are not many people who know the details, and there are just different opinions.
