Five days later, Liu Jun and Deng Ai led a thousand soldiers into Jingshan.

Walking the Jingshan trail was the result of discussions between Liu Jun and Deng Ai. To get to Shangyong from Yicheng, one had to pass outside Xiangyang City, and at this time Cao Cao's army was repairing inside and outside Xiangyang City, so they had no way to take the official road.

What's more, if you want to use a thousand soldiers and horses to take down the superior, you must outwit it, and you must hit the other party by surprise, otherwise it is impossible to succeed at all.

Although Liu Jun's soldiers and horses were not many, there were 10,000 stone grains and grass, and his mother Cai Shi and Mrs. Deng also accompanied the army, so the speed of the march was very slow.

Liu Jian was at the front of the army, and in his previous life, he had trained and carried out missions in the tropical jungle many times, so the difficulties he encountered now could not stop him at all.

Some of these soldiers were originally not mentally strong, but seeing the main general Liu Jun leading the way, plus Liu Jun's promise to give them double Lilu, they were immediately encouraged, and they followed, and none of them became deserters.

Finally, after ten days of arduous trekking, after climbing one mountain beam after another, I saw the flat land below, and a river like a wide ribbon embedded in the valley, this is Han Water.

On the shore of Hanshui, there is a castle in front of you, which is Fangling City.

There are only three cities in Shangyong County, Fangling is closer to Xiangyang, Shangyong is closer to Ba County, and Xicheng is closer to Hanzhong.

"Deng Ai, order the army to camp on the spot!" Seeing Fang Lingcheng, Liu Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately gave an order to Deng Ai.

"No!" A

thousand soldiers quickly set up camp in a hidden place on the mountain beam, and the soldiers were a little exhausted after several days of rushing, so they had to repair it.

An hour later, the soldiers had eaten, and Liu Jun brought Deng Ai to discuss countermeasures.

"Shizai, what can you do

to take Fangling?" "

Lord, we only have a thousand soldiers, even if there are few defenders of Fangling City, if it is a strong attack, it will not be able to take it, so it is only outwitted, I will take a few people to the city to inquire about the situation first, and then discuss countermeasures!"

"Lord, don't do it!" Deng Ai immediately stood up when he heard that Liu Ai was going to go in person, "The Lord is the commander of the army, how can he leave easily?

"That's not okay

!" "Shizai, carry out the order!" "

No!" Deng Ai had no choice, so he had to bow to Liu Qi, "The lord should be more careful!" Fangling

City was built along the mountain, there were only two gates, there were not many pedestrians entering and leaving, and the soldiers at the gate were not checking one by one.

After Liu Jun entered the city, he specially looked at it, there were about five hundred soldiers defending the city at the south gate, that is to say, in the entire Fangling City, there should be a thousand soldiers, although these soldiers are not veterans of a hundred battles, but they also show a strong momentum, their combat power is by no means weaker than the Jingzhou soldiers, indeed as Deng Ai said, if it is a strong attack, it is impossible to take Fangling.

The city is large, but relatively depressed, there are few pedestrians and businesses, and those who walk around the city are dull-eyed, listless, and disgusted.

Liu Jun found a relatively large tavern, asked for a private room, then ordered a few signature dishes and asked for a jug of wine.

The owner of the tavern saw that Liu Jian was a person with status, and immediately sent a fellow to serve him.

Liu Jun threw a bunch of money to the guy, and the guy saluted excitedly, "Thank you Gongzi, thank you Gongzi!"

"Xiao Er, who is the county commander and county captain of this Fangling City?"

"Is Gongzi

a foreigner?" "

Yes, I came from Baxian to Xiangyang, passing through here."

"Oh..." "

This Shen County Ling is a good official?"

"Good official?" the guy listened to Liu Jun's words, and his head shook like a rattle, "Gongzi is a good person, I'm not afraid to tell Gongzi, this Shen County Ling is the nephew of Lord Taishou, in Fangling County, he often oppresses the people, does everything evil, and the taxes are higher than Shangyong City, and the caravans in the past are often robbed by him." In addition, he is also very colorful, all the women he fancy, whether it is a big family or a small family, whether it is a waiting lady, or a woman, he will not let go, the county captain Zhang Heng is originally a thief, robbing caravans and robbing people's women, although it is all done by Zhang Heng, but it is all directed by Shen Rong.

"There is simply no national law!" Liu Jun was furious when he heard this, and in his previous life, he also hated those corrupt officials the most.

Gongzi, now is a chaotic time, the emperor can't control it, who else can manage it? The Shen family is in the upper mean, the power is very large, although the people hate them very much, but they dare not be angry and dare not speak, seventy percent of the profits of our tavern must be handed over to the Shen family!"

"Our Shangyong people are looking forward to the imperial court being able to remove the officials of the Shen family, but now Shangyong, Jingzhou doesn't care, Yizhou doesn't care, Hanzhong doesn't care, the people here are suffering!" Speaking of this, the guy looked very sad, "My family has already starved to death, if it weren't for the boss's kindness to take me in, I would be the same as them!"

Alas, I don't know what year or month it will have to wait!" "

It won't be long!" Liu

Jun paid for the wine and food, did not delay for too long in Fangling City, and on the way back, a plan was generated in his heart.

Early the next morning, at three o'clock in the sun, the county commander of Fangling City, Shen Rong, was still climbing on the body of a concubine and wanted to die, and the county captain Zhang Heng rushed in.

Shen Rong reluctantly dressed and came to the lobby.

"Captain Zhang, what's going on?" asked Shen Rong with a gloomy face.

"Adults forgive sins, small people do have important things to report!" "

In this Fangling City, this county is the sky, what important thing can be so anxious?"

"Adult, it's a fortune!" Zhang Heng's face showed a smile.

"What wealth?" When Shen Rong heard the word wealth, all the sleepiness disappeared, and his two bull eyes widened.

"Sir, I just got the news that a rich merchant in Yizhou took three thousand stone grain to Jingzhou, passing through Fangling!" Zhang Heng suppressed the excitement in his heart and said word by word.
