Chapter 7 Coincidental Letters
Chapter 7: Get a letter
"Oh, it turns out to be genuine?" Fang Ling smiled unexpectedly, and knocked his finger casually and said, "When I got this item, there were a few items with it. In this way, they were all Qianfeng Green Porcelain."
"What, how many more?" Yuan Dekang heard it, he was not drooling all over the floor, looking at the boy dryly, both jealous and envious. However, everyone knows the value of these porcelains. Not to mention that this thing can be worth ten thousand gold. Although the Yuan family is a noble family, it is not rich. It is indeed too luxurious to spend ten thousand gold to buy a porcelain. Even if he wants to buy it, a dignified prince and king would not be worth the money, so he would not sell it naturally.
Fang Ling looked at Yuan Dekang's greedy expression and smiled slightly, "Since ancient times, the sword is given to heroes, and treasures must be displayed in the hands of people with vision. Lord Yuan has a pair of wise eyes to help me identify this porcelain, so I will give this Qianfeng Green Porcelain to Lord Yuan."
"What...what? Your Highness is serious?" Yuan Dekang couldn't believe what he heard in his ears, and couldn't help but question loudly.
Fang Ling smiled and said, "I am telling the truth, of course. However, I also want to ask Lord Yuan to do a little favor."
"This..." When the topic was shifted to help, Yuan Dekang hesitated for a moment, and struggled very hard in his heart. On the one hand, Qianfeng Cuici, which was rare in his life, could enjoy many jealous gazes with this thing, even kings, princes, generals and ministers were no exception. More importantly, although the Yuan family is a famous family, it is inferior to the top-ranking and prominent clan in the prefecture.
The noble families, like the classes in this society, are divided into different levels. The great noble families disdain to make friends with the small noble families. Relying on their wealth and power, Yuan Dekang can sit firmly in this position and see the expressions of these great noble families a lot.
But if the family had this thing, I was afraid that the children of the prominent clan would come uninvited, and the Yuan family would naturally become famous and would be said to be a glorious family.
On the other side is Empress Song. Empress Song and Prime Minister Cui Yi chose two forces to unite. If she wades into this muddy water, it would not be a good thing to get involved with her.
Fang Ling knew exactly what Yuan Dekang was thinking. He smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Yuan, don't worry. I understand your difficulties, so I will never make you embarrassed."
Yuan Dekang was puzzled when he saw Fang Ling so considerate, and couldn't help but guess: "Your Highness means..."
Fang Ling leaned leisurely on the chair and said seriously: "There are no outsiders here, so let's open the skylight and speak loudly. The reason why Queen Song sent me to Qingzhong City was that she believed that Qingzhong City would definitely be broken. Once Qingzhong City was broken, the army of Yizhou State would flock in. I am afraid that Lord Yuan's position would be a bit hot. Lord Yuan's face was not good just now, so I was afraid he was upset about this matter, right?"
Yuan Dekang looked at Fang Ling seriously at this time. He did not expect that such a young boy had guessed Queen Song's strategy so thoroughly, and he knew what he was worried about.
Fang Ling's voice sank slightly and said, "However, I can solve this urgent problem for Lord Yuan."
Yuan Dekang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and felt that every sentence of the young man was unfathomable, making him unable to keep up with the rhythm. However, when he heard that he could solve the problem, he still instinctively asked: "What are your skills?"
Fang Ling said calmly: "There are five major cities on the border of Dingzhou, and each city is surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers. Among them, Qingzhong City is the most dangerous. Lord Yuan thinks why should the King of Yizhou choose the most difficult place to start?"
"This..." Yuan Dekang was stunned when he heard this, with a little confusion on his face. Fang Ling's words were not unreasonable. The army of the king of Yizhou had completely occupied Xuzhou. In theory, it could attack any important town. He was suddenly shocked, "Can they deliberately attract our attention and want to attack other important towns?"
Fang Ling smiled slightly and shook his head and said, "The tens of thousands of troops in Yizhou are far above the total military force of Dingzhou. Most of them are brave generals and ministers who are good at fighting, and even more intelligent counselors. If you want to attack Dingzhou, you don't want to use this trick of striking the east and attacking the west. The real reason is very simple. Although the King of Yizhou occupied Xuzhou, it is not a matter of three to five days to take Xuzhou's troops under his control and appease the people's hearts."
Yuan Dekang hit the palm and suddenly realized: "The officials understand that the Yizhou Army was launched at several routes. After conquering Xuzhou, the other routes were busy absorbing troops. Only Xuzhou border opposite Qingzhong City, Dingzhou, is not where the big city is located, so this is saved and you can attack directly!"
Fang Ling nodded and said, "No, so this also exposed the enemy's weaknesses!"
"The weakness of the Yizhou army?" Yuan Dekang's eyes lit up.
Fang Ling's expression was fixed and said, "The Yizhou army is as powerful as a rock, and the continuous attacks are exhausted. Other armies can stop rectifying by relying on the opportunity to withdraw troops, but there is no time for attacking Qingzhong City. In addition, they are coming out of power, mostly relying on their strength, and arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Qingzhong City is united and Lord Zhu is also strictly guarding it. Therefore, I decided that they will not attack Qingzhong City in a short time. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's rectification is not complete, Lord Yuan can mobilize the troops in the hinterland to win with strength. On the one hand, they can restrain all enemy troops and prevent them from rescued Qingzhong City, and on the other hand, they can also stabilize the border and resist their offensive!"
Yuan Dekang was very excited when he heard this, and his grief disappeared in his eyebrows, and he praised: "Your Highness has a very good analysis. It seems that it is not that easy for the King of Yizhou to break through our Dingzhou. Yes, the lower officials will issue an order later and mobilize the surrounding troops to guard the front line. They must know how powerful the lower officials are!"
Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "Master Yuan is outstanding ingenuity, Dingzhou is powerful and powerful, and he has the ability to fight against the King of Yizhou. If the Lord can attack the King of Yizhou's arrogance, he will definitely be famous, and Your Majesty can also reward him well!"
Yuan Dekang burst into laughter when he heard this. He couldn't help but feel a little favor for the King of Stone City. After laughing, he tentatively said: "I don't know what Xiaoben is, what Your Highness just mentioned?"
Fang Ling said lightly: "In fact, before I came, I had sent someone to write to His Majesty to express my loyalty. With the help of the court, the matter of serving the king was just a formality. The imperial edict said that I would come to help General Zhu to guard Qingzhong City, and that would inevitably be sent by General Zhu. General Zhu is famous for his strictness, but I am afraid that he would not treat him differently because of his identity. If I send him out of the city to fight, then my life would be no longer guaranteed. If Lord Yuan could write a letter and tell General Zhu to let him take action, he would solve my urgent need."
"This..." Yuan Dekang hesitated for a moment, but he understood in his heart that this was indeed just a small busy. In fact, although the imperial edict stipulated that Fang Ling would assist him, Zhu Baolin would indeed let him participate in the war with Zhu Baolin's personality, but Zhu Baolin, as his subordinate, naturally had to listen to a letter. Zhu Baolin was harsh and never formed a group with others, so he would not let this talk out, so this matter would naturally not reach Queen Song's ears. If Zhu Baolin had not sent Fang Ling to fight, it was also the reason why he dispatched troops and generals himself. This matter was not even at all risk.
Fang Ling continued: "If I could go back alive, I would definitely have a generous gift!"
When he heard this, Yuan Dekang's doubts were eliminated in an instant. The King of Shicheng was generous. The gift of this gift was a piece of Qianfeng Green porcelain. He also had several pieces in his hand, and even better things. With such a saying, what is it to do a little favor?
Yuan Dekang suddenly burst into laughter and said hypocritically: "What is your highness saying? You are the prince and the minister. It is the duty of your minister to be able to serve your highness." At this point, he raised his tone and asked someone to bring the four treasures of the study. He quickly finished a letter and handed it over to Fang Ling for a look.
After Fang Ling nodded, he took out the governor's seal and pressed it on it, stuffed it into an envelope and handed it on it.
Fang Ling smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Yuan, for your timely help. I will remember this kindness in my heart."
While sending him out, Yuan Dekang said with a smile: "Your Highness is a lucky person, and you have this letter from the lower official. Even if Zhu Baolin has the courage to do so, he will not dare to make trouble for Your Highness."
Fang Ling nodded with a smile, and after walking out of the mansion, he and Lubei took off. Yuan Dekang watched the two leave, and hurried back to the mansion and played with Qianfeng Cuici.
After leaving Dingzhou City, Lu Bei couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, do we really not have to worry about the war in Qingzhong City?"
Fang Ling shook his head and said, "What I said to Yuan Dekang is only half true and half false. Qingzhong City is a level that the Yizhou army must break. Compared with Xuzhou, which is without any danger, breaking Qingzhong City can truly demonstrate the strength of the Yizhou army. Therefore, although the other party is tired, with such a high morale, the chance of victory is still high. However, with this letter, we have a magic weapon to turn the situation around!"
However, Lu Bei couldn't help but say unwillingly: "It's just a favorable price for Yuan Dekang, and the Qianfeng Cui Porcelain is a treasure worth tens of thousands of gold."
Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "Which deal with what we are about to get is very good, not to mention that the thing is just stored in his hands. One day, a Japanese king will be the emperor. Wouldn't he behaved and return it obediently?"
Lu Bei suddenly realized it and rubbed his hands with excitement, "At that time, I will see what the corrupt official looks like!"
Fang Ling smiled faintly, raised the whip, Chiyan made an excited neigh, and ran away with his legs. The two of them were sitting on sweat-blooded BMWs, which were extremely fast, so even if they detoured, they could catch up with the large army in a short time.
It was early morning five days later when we arrived at Qingzuka Castle. The sky was just dawning, and the sun emerged from the horizon and did not feel the heat. It was almost September, and the weather was already in autumn. The temperature lost the high temperature of summer and became a little cooler.
