Please calm down your anger

Chapter 487

Booming...thunderclouds billowing, torrential rain pours down.

The Middle-earth Continent is already abundant in water and air, and not long after the Great Heat, there are frequent storms and rains in various parts of the Southern Jin Dynasty, which is very similar to the current situation.

The capital city of Jiangzhou, Jianglin.

This is a typical southern town, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with magnificent docks, white-walled and black-tiled courtyards and exquisite gardens on the mountains, wide canals below the mountains, and thousands of boats and boats gathering together.

Originally, this place was bustling with business and trade. At night, the lanterns twinkled like stars, and there were troupe performances in various deep houses and courtyards.

After the collapse of the Great Wei Dynasty, wars continued in the north, but in the south due to the early establishment of the Southern Jin Dynasty, various aristocratic families are still enjoying prosperity for thousands of years.

But now, the atmosphere in the city is extremely tense.

Teams of soldiers held torches and walked through the streets and alleys. In the darkness, there were masters leaping and galloping. There were monsters standing on the cornices and arches everywhere in the city, looking around vigilantly.

Thousands of miles to the north of Jiangzhou is Yanzhuiling.

Now that the Taotie Legion is invading with nearly 300 million troops, people are naturally panicked, and every night they have to be careful of spies sneaking in.

The thousand-year-old family in Jiangzhou is the Zhao family, who is good at the secret method of spiritual planting. It has been entrenched here since the middle of the Wei Dynasty, and its strength is strong.

When the news came that the Taotie army broke through the Jiuqu Tianhe, the patriarch of the Zhao family ordered the transportation of grain and grass in the entire Jiangzhou, imposed a curfew and checked the roads, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without permission.

Of course, the rich merchants and families in the city have already left by boat through various relationships, and boatloads of spiritual materials and jewelry were shipped out.

Only the people were detained in the city, all businesses stopped, men, women, old and children all served corvee to repair the city and build walls, fearful.

And along the banks of the Lincheng River and the surrounding mountains and rivers, military fortresses have long been built, and corps from all over the country to support them are entrenched, forming large formations to guard against death.

The Yamen of the Governor's Mansion is brightly lit.

The atmosphere in the hall is dignified.

The governor of Jiangzhou asked about Zhao Chengshi, the patriarch of the Zhao family. He was considered a leading figure in Jiangzhou before, but now he only sits in the hall.

In the hall, a red-faced man was sitting upright, wearing armor with a fire kylin mountain pattern, his face was majestic, and his breath was fierce and heavy, like a mountain.

He glanced lightly, "Brother Zhao, how are the food preparations?"

The patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Chengshi, respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Brother Cao, don't worry, all the grain and grass in Jiangzhou have been brought in. According to Brother Cao's strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness, the Yan army has 300 million horses, and there will be no supplements of grain and grass along the way."

He couldn't help being cautious.

The name of the person in the hall is Cao Yuan, who is the head of the Cao family.

The Cao family was originally one of the top ten marshals of the Great Wei Dynasty. After Cao Guang, the great marshal of Wulong, they gradually became stronger after escaping a catastrophe.

Cao Yuan retreated many years ago, this time he was shocked by the bad news, after he left the seclusion suddenly, his white hair turned black, and he personally took over the defense of Jiangzhou.

Everyone guessed in their hearts that he had already broken through the Earth Immortal.

At this moment, an old man in official uniform got up and cupped his hands and said: "Senior Cao's strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness is very good. Before I left, the emperor told me that Jianglin is an important road by water and land. If the Yan army breaks through this place, they can use the water network to go straight to the states." , so Jiang Lin must not be lost."

After speaking, the atmosphere in the hall was deserted.

Everyone looked calm, as if they hadn't heard.

Some people sneered in their hearts, the Qin family of the royal family has long lost power, which of the aristocratic families here would sell their face, this special envoy of the royal family is simply asking for humiliation.

Cao Yuan also looked cold, "I heard that the strategy of letting go of the demon dragon was caused by the evil emperor Wei You. Where did he go?"

While speaking, there was killing intent in his eyes.

The spies sent news that his most promising descendant Cao Pocheng died in the first battle, Xiahou's family was destroyed, the Yan army was the enemy, and the rest of the anger was naturally on Wei Youdi.

The Cao family has been generals for generations, if these people hadn't acted recklessly and self-righteously, with Cao Pocheng's steady temperament, how could he be in danger of death!
The old man looked embarrassed, "Senior Cao was joking, that demon has nothing to do with the royal family. The imperial court has issued a arrest warrant, but no trace of him has been found."

"Humph!"

A sword-browed man next to him snorted coldly, "If you can't speak, just get lost!"

After all, I didn't bother to pay attention to the old man's expression, stood up and cupped my hands and said: "Senior Cao, my Tantai family will bring the Tongtian Sword Formation here tomorrow, specially to restrain the Emperor Xuan's treasure ship, but the morale of the Yan army is high right now, I don't know if we will use it How to deal with it?"

Cao Yuan said in a deep voice: "How to defeat the enemy, this seat has its own decision, all you need to do is stick to Jiang Lin."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

The Yan army is powerful, they really can't think of how Cao Yuan will defeat the enemy, but the opponent has been a general in the army a hundred years ago, and he has defeated the famous Yan generals in a row, so he must have a backup.

At this moment, Cao Yuan suddenly looked coldly outside the hall, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "Traitor, dare to show up!"

After all, he flicked his fingers.

hum!
There was a roar in everyone's mind, like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening.

Outside the hall, it rained like a curtain at night.

White smoke rose, and a paper crane suddenly appeared, soaring into the sky, it was about to flee far away.

"There are assassins!"

"It's Xuanyuan's evasion technique!"

Everyone in the hall suddenly became angry.

This is an important place for military discussions. There are military formations guarding the outside of the city, and formations are deployed inside the city. Unexpectedly, people still approached secretly.

What is even more hateful is a member of the Xuanyuan Sect.

"Can't run!"

Cao Yuan's eyes were cold, and he stretched out his claws to freeze, and the hall suddenly blew up, creating a terrifying suction force out of thin air, which instantly grabbed the paper crane and kept retreating.

Whoo~!

The paper crane burst into flames, followed by green smoke, and the light and shadow of a Taoist with golden pupils appeared, it was Jingming, the leader of Xuanyuan.

Cao Yuan said in a deep voice: "The news came from the defeated army, and I sent people to Miaoyuan Mountain and Gongyangjia Mountain City, and I knew that you and the others had rebelled."

As he said, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "This is the method of entrusting gods and objects, and the leader of Jingming has already broken through the earth immortal?"

"what?!"

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

The leader of Xuanyuan, Jing Ming, looked calm, and gave a salute, "It's just a fluke, so why isn't Master Cao..."

Cao Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became more relaxed, "Since Master Jingming has become an Earth Immortal, he can be my Southern Jin State Teacher. Xuanyuan Sect will take over the divine way again. Let the past be forgotten, how about it?"

Everyone in the hall listened, not surprised.

Now that the war is imminent, every earth immortal can suppress luck, and any conditions are easy to negotiate.

Xuanyuan leader Jing Ming looked calm and shook his head slightly.

Cao Yuan still didn't give up, and continued to persuade: "Dayan already has Guangyuan, even if the leader takes refuge in him, it is rare for him to be reused. Why should he be inferior to others?"

Xuanyuan leader Jing Ming finally spoke and sighed, "The old man is ashamed, he didn't want to meet with you, but there is something stuck in his throat."

"Cao Shuai is strong and clear, and the people in Jiangzhou are famine. Are you going to use them to drag down the Yan army?"

Cao Yuan's eyes turned cold, "I don't know current affairs."

He is not indecisive like Qin Feixiong, the coach of the Fudou Army.

With a gluttonous army of 300 million people, plus 80 defeated troops, and nearly [-] million people in Jiangzhou, the consumption of food and grass will be a terrifying figure.

Prince Yan Duguxi's ambition to become emperor is well known everywhere, and many people in the Southern Jin Dynasty were vacillating, not to mention rebellious mobs everywhere.

He is killing three birds with one stone.

If Dayan doesn't save the people, then he will lose the support of the righteous people, and if he adds fuel to the flames, he can destroy the general trend that was gathered before.

If the Yan army rescued the people, then the spies he sent in advance and hidden among the people would take the opportunity to launch and create chaos.

Of course, there is one more important point.

The Yan army needs to be rescued, plus 300 million troops, 80 rebels, and the daily food and grass can only be transported from the territory. While consuming the national power of Yan, it will also expose the biggest weakness:

Jiuqu Tianhe transportation line!
That's what he's for!
Of course, this matter is only buried in the heart, and when the time comes, the Yan army's southern expedition will come to naught!
Jing Ming shook his head slightly, "Although you are not limited to means on the battlefield, Cao Shuai's move will only consume the luck of my human race. I am old and foolish, and I don't agree with it."

"Since Cao Shuai has become an Earth Immortal, he should know that the number of days has changed."

"Number of days?!"

Cao Yuan grinned and said, "Heaven's heart is not to be feared, and the number of days is pure nonsense. Besides, the many aristocratic families of Dayan will let me wait!"

After finishing speaking, a gossip mirror suddenly appeared in his hand, and with a slight shake, a white light shone on Jingming.

"Mourning Soul Yin-Yang Realm!"

Jing Ming's complexion changed drastically, and the golden light disappeared in an instant, barely avoiding the white light of the gossip mirror.

Everyone in the hall looked at the gossip mirror with fear in their eyes.

In addition to inheriting the martial arts of Cao Guang, the general of Wulong, the Cao family also plundered the secret art of the magic lineage and explored the ruins of the secret realm. The family has a profound heritage.

This ghostly yin and yang realm is a magic weapon found from an ancient Zhou ruins. When the Wei Dynasty was in turmoil, the Cao family used it to kill countless masters.

I didn't expect to be alive again now.

Cao Yuan is already an Earth Immortal cultivation base, with this precious power, unless Dayan sends Zhenjun Guangyuan, but Cao Yuan still has the inheritance of military strategists, and he can rely on the method of chaotic formation to control the evil energy of the army...

Thinking of this, everyone's confidence suddenly increased.

……

Crash, la la... torrential rain.

The mountain torrents were raging, and the official road was muddy.

Next to the official road, in an abandoned Four Seas Inn, the candlelight was dim, the smell was unpleasant, and it was crowded with people who were sheltering from the rain.

They are in a state of embarrassment, with disheveled hair, mostly old and weak women and children, all of them are sallow and emaciated, with pale lips and loose eyes.

"Ah Mom, I'm hungry!"

The little girl cried weakly.

A peasant woman quickly hugged the girl tightly, covered her mouth and said in a low voice, "My dear girl, I'll endure it for two days. When we get to the place, we'll have something to eat."

Said, looking around in panic.

Famine is rare in the land of fish and rice in the Southern Jin Dynasty, but some stories and distant legends are always in my heart.

Decades ago, there was a severe drought, and the blood-clothed bandits appeared.

She knew what people would do when they were hungry.

An old man next to him sighed: "Be patient, I wait for the common people to be like pigs and dogs. When the war is chaotic, it will be even more chaotic. I heard that the Yan army will give food. Let's go and see. If it works, it will be a way of life..."

snort!
A man with a fierce face snorted coldly and said: "I think it's a waste of effort. There is no dog in this world that doesn't eat meat. In this world, only a cruel heart can survive. It's better to fall into the grass and become a bandit."

"Brother Li said yes!"

Immediately, several men stood up to respond.

The people shut their mouths tightly and dared not speak.

At this moment, a woman's face was pale, and she couldn't hold on any longer, and fell to the ground with a plop, losing her breath.

The man's eyes became strange: "I know a secret method that can keep everyone alive..."
