Chapter 4 Manipulating the situation

Fang Ling asked Dong Canghai to bring paper and pen, outlined several forces with Heimu City as the center, and said seriously: "The current situation is clear, and the situation in Heimu City is not as calm as we thought. In fact, it can be said to be very complicated. Ma Hongtu wanted to steal Song Ying'er, Cai's army wanted to occupy Heimu City, and Thirteen evil spirits hijacked the tributes of Bingzhou. It was a mess. What was missing was just a fire."

Chen Huantian heard some smell from his words and said a little surprised: "Does your Highness want to take this opportunity to remove the tumor in Heimucheng?"

After saying this, Dong Canghai and Lubei also changed their faces. Heimu City has been established for ten years, but it is located on the border and Shicheng is occupied by thirteen evil spirits. Bingzhou can be said to have used various methods, but none of them were eliminated. Instead, due to the infiltration of local powers and wealthy people, this place has become increasingly prosperous and has become a well-known black market in the north.

What a big deal if we want to clean up the Black Wood City forces here in one go?

However, the three of them quickly calmed down because Fang Ling dared to say this, so there must be some reason.

Fang Ling said lightly: "Actually, since I heard about the small border towns such as Heimu City, I have become eager to remove them. After all, even if I conquered Shicheng County, there were such a group of soldiers and bandits at the gate, so I was afraid that I couldn't sleep. What I was afraid of was that I couldn't do it, because our troops were too few. However, since the Cai ** team also had this meaning, it was just possible to borrow it."

Lu Bei said a little uneasy: "Your Highness, although they only have 300 troops, if they are allowed to conflict with Heimu City, wouldn't they mobilize people to the border? There are more than 3,000 people on the border. In addition, Your Highness just said that Cai had an intention to Heimu City. If you take the opportunity to take all your might and snatch Song Ying'er and take Heimu City down, wouldn't it be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?"

Dong Canghai also said: "The area of ​​Shicheng County is already the fief of Your Highness. Logically speaking, the governance of this border is taken over by the Palace. Even if the Cai ** team occupied Heimu City, the border army is not His Highness's army, so there will definitely be no action."

Fang Ling said calmly: "Your worries are not unreasonable. I had such an idea at first. However, after I carefully analyzed it, I felt that this possibility was very small. I knew the situation on the border. The Cai ** team attacking Heimu City means that it will launch a large-scale attack on our country. The entire border is like a game of chess, with one piece moving and holding the whole body. Once the Cai ** team seizes Heimu City, although it is my fiefdom, it will affect the entire chess game and the battle situation in other places. Therefore, I dare to conclude that even if the other party has an attempt, it will not take action now. And if it really wants to take action, it will not send Ma Hongtu to solve the problem with silver. Therefore, the other party's purpose is very simple, which is for Song Ying'er. Moreover, in order to remove the remaining possibilities, I will not give them enough time to rescue soldiers!"

Hearing Fang Ling's analysis, Lu Bei couldn't help but feel excited: "The army in Heimu City has only more than 100 people, about 200 residents, and there are about 100 foreign prominent merchants, while there are only 300 elite soldiers in Cai State. Even if the prominent merchants do not participate in the war, it is really unknown who will win the battle between the two sides."

Dong Canghai touched his chin and said, "The key is how to make the elite soldiers of Cai have the idea of ​​fighting Heimucheng."

Chen Huantian couldn't help but say curiously: "What exactly is this fire that Your Highness calls?"

Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "Tribute."

"Tribute?" Dong Canghai and the others were slightly stunned, and Chen Huantian's eyes suddenly lit up and said with a hammer, "Your Highness wants to kill someone by borrowing a knife!"

Fang Ling secretly said that Chen Huantian is worthy of being a hero, and he could understand his meaning with two words. He said in detail: "What we have to do is to pretend to be the elite soldiers of Cai State and hijack the tributes transported to Heimu City by the elite soldiers of Cai State. If they knew that the tributes were hijacked by the elite soldiers of Cai State and that the people were in Heimu City, what would you say?"

Dong Canghai came over and said, "In other words, when we kidnapped, we deliberately revealed the location of the inn where Ma Hongtu stayed. The Thirteen Evil will naturally not give up. Then the result is very simple, Ma Hongtu will definitely be captured!"

Fang Ling continued, "The master said before that Ma Hongtu and his friends came here with a military order. This military order is not a joke. If the task cannot be completed, then going back will be a dead end. Now that the general has been captured, Song Ying'er is still in the city. What are the plans for the remaining elite soldiers?"

Chen Huantian said calmly: "Of course we have to rescue Ma Hongtu and steal Song Ying'er back. In this way, they will not be allowed to attack Heimu City."

Fang Ling nodded slightly and said, "Yes, and Yuan Ba ​​and the others would not expect that Song Ying'er's identity is so important, nor would they think that there was an elite soldier lying ambushed in the valley outside the city, so they would not be so vigilant. If the elite soldiers took the night attack, it would be a rare show."

After saying this, even Chen Huantian couldn't help but admire the young man in front of him. With such wisdom, he could actually connect the scattered factors here and finally create a situation that is beneficial to him. Whether it is Heimu City, the elite soldiers of Cai State or the Thirteen Evils, they have been manipulated by an invisible hand and developed towards the situation imagined by Fang Ling.

Fang Ling then said with a solemn expression: "However, to achieve the expected effect of the king, several conditions are required. First, you must grab the tribute from the Thirteen Evils. The place where the Thirteen Evils come to Heimu City is Tianqin Canyon. Such a day's distance should not be full of movement. However, no matter how many people they come, we must win this battle. Master, you personally lead half of the soldiers in the city to Tianqin Canyon to observe the terrain, and report immediately when you find the other party's whereabouts!"

Dong Canghai held his fists and took the order. Fang Ling then said: "Brother Lu divided the remaining troops into two teams. One team closely monitored Ma Hongtu's movements in the city, and the other team went out of the city to the valley to monitor the movements of the three hundred elite soldiers of Cai. Remember to act carefully and not be discovered by the other party."

Lu Bei replied in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please rest assured. These new guards were taught by Lord Dong and me. We know the tricks of guards lurking and tracking, and we will never be discovered by these border soldiers."

Fang Ling nodded slightly and said, "In addition, two soldiers were sent to the fiefdom along the border checkpoint. The mountain road terrain I drew last time and the poisonous weeds along the way, and the beast cave distribution had already reached Lord Chen. With his talent, he should have developed a poison pill. I passed the order of this king to order Xu Musheng to lead 600 soldiers from three counties to quickly go to the hiding place outside Heimu City to wait for news!"

Dong Canghai and the others left and took the order. Chen Huantian also walked out of the door. Without Fang Ling's reminder, he understood very well what he wanted to do, which was to ensure Song Ying'er's safety. Of course, such things could be done by sitting in the room. Although it was very easy, they were important things that had to be done. If Ma Hongtu and others could not wait to design the abduct of Song Ying'er, then Fang Ling's plan would not be able to proceed normally.

After the three of them left, Fang Ling's eyes were still looking at the paper. This game of chess must be played seamlessly. In this way, it can not only destroy Heimu City, but also rely on the color of Wei'an. As long as Heimu City collapses, the surrounding five cities will be destroyed, which can be said to be a great thing.

After considering all the factors completely, Fang Ling turned his eyes elsewhere, and then saw a bag on the chair where Dong Canghai sat. He walked over and picked up the bag, then knocked on Song Ying'er's door. After walking in, he opened the bag, but it was a few good silk dresses.

Fang Ling smiled and said, "These are a few clothes I asked my men to buy. They may not fit well, but you will feel aggrieved in this form."

Seeing Fang Ling thinking so considerately, Song Ying'er couldn't help but be moved secretly. She shook her head slightly and said, "As long as you have this free body, even the most crude clothes will feel comfortable to wear on your body."

Fang Ling thought for a while and said, "If you want to take a shower, I will ask the waiter to move the bathtub to the room. This will be much safer so that Ma Hongtu and the others will not have any ideas."

Song Ying'er nodded and suddenly spoke, "Can your Highness be the King of Shicheng of Chu?"

Fang Ling couldn't help but look at her more. He was not surprised that she called her Your Highness. He knew that this girl must have no confidence in her. He heard some conversations against the wall. However, there were many people who could be called Your Highness. She could guess that she was the King of Stone City. This seemed a bit difficult. He didn't admit it or deny it and smiled, "Where did you guess that I was the King of Stone City?"

Song Ying'er showed a faint smile on her face and said, "Since your highness is not a member of Ma Hongtu, you must be from Chu. Although there are many kings and princes in Chu, this is the fief of the King of Shicheng. His highness is similar to the ones that are rumored to be the King of Shicheng, so I am sure that your highness is the King of Shicheng."

A simple and reasonable analysis can see the wisdom of the woman in front of her. Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "Since I am so sure that I am the King of Shicheng, should I dispel my concerns?"

Song Ying'er said with some admiration on her face: "Your Highness's name was heard of when she was in Qingyifang. Although Your Highness was imprisoned in the cold palace for more than ten years, she made a big splash in the main hall of Chu's Imperial City and was granted the title of King of Shicheng. After coming to the fief, she discovered an iron mine that had not been discovered by previous officials, punished the local prominent tribes and conquered the bandits of Misty Mountain. How could I not believe such a wise monarch?"
