Chapter 2: The Crisis of the Five Towns (2)

Fang Ling put the rolled holy decree on the table in the lobby, turned around, and slowly swept his gaze over the people around him, Song Ying'er, Mo Xiang, Dong Canghai, Shen Huantian, Zhu Baolin and Li Yongcheng, although the expressions of the six people were different, but their expressions were a little dignified, even though they did not necessarily understand the mystery contained in the holy decree, but intuitively they would think that it would not be as simple as it sounded.

Fang Ling was even more so, he had been very concerned about the war in Dingzhou as early as when he was in the fiefdom, and he had already inquired about the generals of various important towns, so as soon as he heard the holy decree, he could almost guess the mystery of it, and at the same time snorted secretly in his heart.

Before he could speak, Song Ying'er said with a suspicious face: "Your Majesty has such a good heart, and actually handed over all the battles on the front line in Dingzhou to His Royal Highness, the concubine feels that there must be fraud here!"

Fang Ling smiled dumbly, this girl was deeply favored by her mother, and she had long been worried about her mother being framed by Empress Song, but this suspicion was right.

Dong Canghai nodded and said: "Miss Song is right, and the minister also thinks that there must be something strange in this, there is Queen Song in the imperial city, I am afraid that I will not let such a good errand come out." ”

Fang Ling snorted coldly: "Of course there is something strange! this should not be hidden from General Zhu, right?"

Zhu Baolin said with a solemn expression: "The five major towns on the border of Dingzhou, including Qingzuka City, the remaining four cities are guarded by heavyweight generals, and each of the generals of these four cities is from an extraordinary background, with the support of local forces. Therefore, His Majesty's holy decree seems to give His Highness more power on the surface, but the real military power is still in the hands of the four major generals, if His Highness wants to command the frontline war, if he fails to subdue them, I am afraid that the Dingzhou front line will be a mess!"

As soon as these words were finished, everyone suddenly realized, and Shen Huantian snorted heavily: "Queen Song is so poisonous, she actually equates the national war with child's play, thinking that the fall of Dingzhou will also cause Her Royal Highness to die!"

Song Ying'er said with a solemn face when she heard this: "Your Highness, then what should we do now?" Gu Ziyun's 50,000 horses are afraid that they will arrive here in a few days, and the other Yizhou soldiers and horses on the border of Xuzhou are also ready to move, if they can't let these four generals obey the order, it will be troublesome." ”

Fang Ling didn't know that this was a troublesome matter, and he said lightly: "If it's not troublesome, how can it be regarded as a poisonous plan? However, since it's a plan, there must be a countermeasure, and if it is used well, it will be beneficial to us and not harmful." ”

Mo Xiangwan, who had not spoken, said: "What Your Highness said is extremely true, this holy decree looks extremely terrifying, and all the battles on the front line in Dingzhou will be coordinated by His Highness, and one omission will lead to the loss of reputation." However, there is one thing that is very beneficial to us, and that is - the big picture!"

"The big picture?" everyone looked at Mo Xiang.

Mo Xiang said calmly: "The battlefield is like a chess field, the more chess pieces in our hands, the more tricks we can use, and the bigger the game we can control, the higher the chance of winning! ”
