Da Song: Possessed by Overlord at the beginning

Chapter 213: The Injustice of the Monarch and His Officials Go Abroad!
Moreover, those who can follow the lord are all confidantes. Fang Xuanling just took office, and Chao Tian entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, but Fang Xuanling was deeply moved.

"My lord is so magnanimous that he employs people without doubting others, which is rare in the world. Given time, it will surely become a great success!" Fang Xuanling was secretly delighted.

After taking in Fang Xuanling, Chao Tian was overjoyed and immediately rode back to the military formation.

"Xuanling, the garrison of Licheng, has surrendered to me, and everyone will follow me into the city."

Chao Tian returned to the army formation and said to everyone.

Li Cunxiao and others were surprised when they heard that Chao Tian went out for a short while, then subdued Fang Xuanling, and captured Licheng without a single blow.

"Lord, isn't this Fang Xuanling's plan?" Fan Chenglong next to him asked worriedly.

Regarding Fang Xuanling's ability, others were not clear about it, but Fan Chenglong was extremely jealous. He had made suggestions for He Taiping at the beginning, and he never failed, so it was considered exhaustive.

Chao Tian shook his head, "Mr. Xuan Ling sincerely surrenders, and I have appointed him as a secretary to join the army, so you don't have to be confused."

Immediately, Chao Tian led the army and horses into Licheng. Along the way, Li Cunxiao and other generals were also cautious and on guard.

They were afraid that the Qilu army and horses would suddenly come out in the city.

However, it was still safe and sound when they arrived at the prefect's mansion. Chao Tian held Fang Xuanling's hand and talked loudly, while Fang Xuanling stood respectfully beside him.

Seeing Fang Xuanling's performance, everyone gradually dispelled their worries and relaxed.

Come to the lobby of the prefect's mansion.

Chao Tian unceremoniously sat at the head, and on the two sides were Flying Tiger General Li Cunxiao and Fang Xuanling, and everyone took their seats one after another.

"I would like to report to my lord, Linyi's guard, the veteran general Zhao Chongguo, has made friends with me, and I am willing to go to Linyi. With my sharp tongue, I persuaded the veteran general Zhao Chongguo to come and submit to my lord."

Fang Xuanling first entered Chao's army, but he didn't make any contribution, so he naturally wanted to make contributions as a way to get in, and Linyi was the best opportunity.

When Chao Tian heard what Fang Xuanling said, his eyes lit up. Zhao Chongguo, the veteran general who guarded Linyi, was also a famous general in Chinese history. Although he was over seventy years old, he was still strong and could recruit surrender, which was naturally a dream.

Moreover, Zhao Chongguo is the oldest general under Qilu King He Taiping. Most of the generals in the Qilu Army come from the veteran general Zhao Chongguo.

With Zhao Chongguo's help, the next battle will be much easier.

"In that case, there is Mr. Lao, but if you see something that you can't do, you must ensure your own safety." Chao Tian instructed.

"I understand, thank you, my lord, for your concern."

Fang Xuanling was moved from the bottom of his heart, bowed respectfully and deeply to Chao Tian, ​​and then backed out.

After Fang Xuanling left Licheng, he rode fast all the way, and arrived at Linyi city at noon the next day.

At this time, Gao Chong's army and horses had already fought fiercely with the Linyi garrison for several rounds, and each had its own victory or defeat. As expected, the veteran general Zhao Chongguo was getting stronger and stronger. He fought with Gao Chong for more than 50 rounds alone, without deciding the outcome.

Fang Xuanling rode his horse to Linyi City alone.

"Stop, who is it?" On the city wall, the general guarding the city gate shouted and stopped Xuanling.

"I am Fang Xuanling. Open the city gate. I have something important to see the old general." Fang Xuanling replied calmly.

"It turned out to be Mr. Xuanling, open the city gate quickly." On the city wall, the guard saw that it was Fang Xuanling, and immediately ordered the sergeant of the Qilu Army next to him to open the city gate.

"Brother Xuanling is not in Licheng, how come he came to Linyi?"

Hearing Fang Xuanling's arrival, Zhao Chongguo hastily greeted him, and asked suspiciously when he saw Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling smiled warmly at Zhao Chongguo, and bowed to salute, "This is not a place to talk."

"Then let's go to the county government office." Zhao Chongguo's face became a little serious, Fang Xuanling couldn't come here just because he had nothing to do, there must be something wrong.

The two came to the back hall of the county government office and sat opposite each other.

"Brother Xuanling, what's the matter?" Zhao Chongguo asked suspiciously.

"The city of Zhangqiu was destroyed, and His Royal Highness the Prince died on the battlefield." Fang Xuanling said calmly.

"what?"

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Zhao Chongguo stood up suddenly, his face turned pale with shock, and he looked at Fang Xuanling in disbelief with an exclamation.

Fang Xuanling nodded slightly, reconfirming the news that His Highness the Crown Prince had died in battle.

"Brother Xuanling, what countermeasures do you have?"

After a long time, Zhao Chongguo sighed, his face a little ugly, and asked.

Fang Xuanling glanced at the old general Zhao Chongguo meaningfully, "King Qilu asked the old general to assist His Royal Highness, but now that His Royal Highness died in battle, how do you think King Qilu will react?"

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, the old general Zhao Chongguo was taken aback for a moment.

That's right, He Taiping has only one son, and that is the crown prince He Anbang, who is always obedient and loving.

If He Taiping knew that He Anbang died on the battlefield, he would be furious and Zhao Chongguo would not survive.

Thinking of this, the old general Zhao Chongguo couldn't help but sigh heavily, and his face was full of anger in an instant.

"If His Royal Highness hadn't suspected us and listened to the villain's slander, how could we have ended up like this."

Fang Xuanling was convinced, "What the old general said is right, but the matter is already here, what's the use of talking about it anymore, the top priority is how to deal with the anger of King Qilu and the Chao family army outside the city."

"Sir, what can you do? I will listen all ears."

Veteran General Zhao Chongguo was not a stupid person, since Fang Xuanling came to him, he would naturally have a way to deal with it, so he immediately asked a respectful question.

"The emperor is not upright and the ministers are surrendering to foreign countries!" Fang Xuanling said lightly, then stopped talking and waited for the reply from the old general Zhao Chongguo.

Hearing Fang Xuanling's answer, veteran general Zhao Chongguo stood up suddenly, staring at Fang Xuanling with a pair of tiger eyes.

Baso one by one
The sword in his waist was unsheathed, and Zhao Chongguo pointed at Fang Xuanling angrily with the sword in his hand.

"What a great Fang Xuanling, it turns out you are here to work as a lobbyist for Chao Tian."

"Are you not afraid that the old man will kill you?"

"Eating inside and outside, selling the owner for glory, the Japanese general will kill you first, and then go to kill Chao Tian later."

Faced with the questioning and anger of the old general Zhao Chongguo, Fang Xuanling took it indifferently, sitting on the grand master's chair without moving, without the slightest panic on his face.

"Old General, being so angry is not good for your health."

Fang Xuanling chuckled, and waved his hands, signaling to the old general Zhao Chongguo to stay calm.

"That's right, I have defected to Chao's army." Fang Xuanling admitted frankly.

"Old general, you are also a general under King Qilu's command. You have been with King Qilu since the uprising. Back then, when you attacked the city and conquered the army, you fought south and north. It was so fun."

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, the old general's expression was a little moved, and he obviously remembered the time when he fought bloody battles.

"But now?"

"King Qilu is no longer the heroic He Taiping he was back then. He enjoys extravagance, doesn't think about making progress, and appoints villains. His Royal Highness is even worse than that."

"There are countless people like Wei Yuanhui in the imperial court, so where can we stay?"
