Chapter 459: Jizhou Crisis
"It's not possible, he must be hiding something."

Fang Xuan's eyes flashed with determination, and he continued: "But I saw those evil soldiers with my own eyes."

Lingxi pursed her lips and said softly, "Even if there are ghost soldiers, they have been killed by Sima Weiyu. Regardless of whether there are other evil creatures that have made a comeback, even if that is true, Jinjiang City deserves this disaster."

"You can't manage the affairs of Kyushu."

Fang Xuan glanced sideways, looked at Lingxi and shook his head slightly. It was so difficult to make a monster understand himself.

He said with a firm gaze: "One day I will rule over the Nine Provinces, and the people of the Nine Provinces will be my people, Fang Xuan."

"Today I know that my people will be refined by evil things and turned into ghost soldiers, but I am gone. There is no such reason in the world."

Lingxi opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say a word.

Jinjiang City Lord’s Mansion.

back yard.

Sima Wei Yu was wearing a blue brocade with a fox fur coat on the outside, and was walking side by side with the housekeeper of the mansion.

"Have those two made any moves in the past few days?"

The butler shook his head and said softly, "The two of them have been gathering information in the city and have not taken any other actions."

His sleeves swayed gently with his steps, and there was no trace of weakness on his face.

In just a few days, the backlash caused by being controlled by the evil creature has been completely recovered.

Sima Weiyu glanced at the old man who had followed him for more than fifty years, and continued to ask: "Are there any others? I heard that there are five more people in their group."

The housekeeper laughed and said, "These five people have never left the house since they moved in. However, they all left Jinjiang City at dusk today."

"The spies in the city have confirmed that they are all heading north."

Hearing this, Sima Weiyu asked suspiciously, "Northward? Further north is Pantai Pass, where the Dragon Whale Army and the Red Eyebrow Army are confronting each other. What are they doing northward? Have their identities been verified?"

The butler shook his head: "It's as if they appeared out of thin air."

Sima Weiyu's face gradually became serious, and he ordered: "Keep investigating. There are not many upper-level warriors in Jiuzhou. We will definitely be able to find out their background."

"We will need them to eliminate Madam Chu in the future, so we can't be careless about this!"

Key nodded in agreement.

The two continued to stroll, Sima Wei Yu tightened his fox fur coat to keep warm, and said with a worried look:

"We were too anxious this time and almost capsized in the gutter. This evil creature is so stubborn. If we really let her refine a million ghost soldiers, the situation will be difficult to control."

The butler didn't even frown, he could only comfort her:
"Your Excellency, good fortune is bestowed upon you by heaven. If you are sure of something, there will be no surprises. Besides, good things take time!"

Sima Weiyu forced a smile and said, "Dou Wei, you are becoming more and more skilled at flattering others."

"But you are right about one thing. Good things take time."

"Since that immortal master has placed his trust in us, we must show our abilities."

"How are those ghost soldiers being dealt with?"

Butler Dou Wei nodded slightly and said, "They are all hidden underground. However, after the evil creatures left, these ghost soldiers became extremely violent. If Master Pan hadn't controlled them, there would have been chaos in the city."

Sima Weiyu glanced at the loyal butler and shook his head:

"We must hide these ghost soldiers well. The big event has not yet been decided. The people in Jinjiang City must not cause chaos. They are our magic weapon for future victory."

"By the way, tell Master Pan that since these ghost soldiers are so brutal, their fighting power must be extraordinary. Let him study them. When we gather our army, we must be able to defeat a hundred with one."

Dou Wei pursed his lips, hummed, looked at Sima Weiyu with some concern, and said:

"Sir, this evil creature must be looking for Madam Chu if it escapes back. If she comes to attack Jinjiang City, Master Pan will not be able to stop her!"

"Immortal Master."

Sima Weiyu showed a bit of worry: "Master is busy, he must be unable to spare time, this is also what I am most worried about."

"I left the young man in white in Jinjiang City to avoid such a situation, so it is most important to find out their background."

The butler took the order and left.

Sima Weiyu stood under a tree, looking at the sky that was gradually covered with a layer of black gauze, with madness flashing in his eyes:

"Daqian, Red Eyebrow Army, one day, I will let you know that these nine states will eventually belong to me, Wei Yu!"

The barbarian army has besieged Jizhou City for half a month.

After Gu Kaizhi decided to defend Jizhou City to the death, he had withstood more than a dozen attacks from the barbarian army in just half a month.

But the result was not good. After resisting the march of 100,000 barbarian troops, they had to resist another 300,000 barbarian troops.

The barbarians added an additional 200,000 troops, which arrived at the city and surrounded Jizhou City on all sides.

Now, even if they wanted to flee south, they had no chance. The gates of Jizhou were tightly closed, and the guards were standing on the city walls as if they were facing a great enemy. Various defense facilities had been replaced one after another, and hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city were busy cooperating with the army to defend the city.

It can be seen from this that as long as there is a determination to defend, the resistance force in Jizhou City will definitely not be limited to the 200,000 defenders.

Despite this, the people in the city were still in panic.

Outside the city, warriors sent the envoy from Jizhou City out to meet with the barbarian generals.

Although no less than ten envoys had been sent out and all of them had been killed by the barbarians, many officials in Jizhou City still placed their hopes on negotiations.

The barbarian army was shouting and threatening outside the city, beating drums and making noise from time to time, constantly creating psychological pressure on the soldiers and civilians in Jizhou City.

In a corner of the City Lord's Mansion, blood had flowed like a river. Tens of thousands of corpses gathered there, emitting a strong smell of blood and decay.

These are the fugitives who appeared in the city after the war started.

At the beginning, it caused a lot of panic in the city. Seeing this, Gu Kaizhi became ruthless and killed them all.

Among them are many former high-ranking officials of Jizhou City.

The enemy outside the city was still clamoring, while Gu Kaizhi and others inside the city were discussing the implementation of the city's defense. At the same time, they also had another thought in mind, which was to wait for rescue.

Before the barbarian army besieged Jizhou City, only 100,000 of the 300,000 troops south of Jizhou returned for reinforcement, and the 200,000 troops led by Peng Huaqing were blocked at Mingshan, 30 miles south of Jizhou City.

In the past few days, the city has been sending warriors to sneak out secretly, and everyone in the city is looking forward to it.

From Gu Kaizhi's point of view, as long as the 200,000 troops south of Mingshan can successfully provide support, Jizhou City can be successfully defended.

While everyone in the tent was still discussing, a warrior rushed in.

Gu Kaizhi stood up from behind the desk. As a bone Shura, he looked particularly haggard at this moment. He asked expectantly, "How is it going? Have you contacted General Peng?"

The warrior hesitated for a moment. He was embarrassed about this matter. After all, he had made a promise before sneaking out of the city.

When everyone saw the warrior's reaction, they suddenly became nervous and dared not breathe.

The warrior finally said slowly: "Lord City Lord, we have not been able to contact General Peng. The barbarians have sent another 3,000 warriors from the third level of the Tianguan to Mingshan to guard the entire Mingshan strictly."

Hearing this, Gu Kaizhi slowly sat back and said slowly: "It is estimated that the barbarian army will launch an attack soon. Let everyone be prepared to defend to the death and be prepared to live and die with Jizhou City!"

Someone in the crowd asked weakly, "Why don't we give Jizhou City to the barbarians? They just want to get their former territory back."

"Now that the heroes of Jiuzhou have risen together, we may be able to cooperate with the barbarians and take over Jiuzhou!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire tent fell silent.

Gu Kaizhi's hawk-like eyes swept through the crowd and finally focused on an old man.

Gu Kaizhi's emotions trembled slightly, and he slowly said: "Mr. Qian, I didn't expect you to say this. It seems that the deserters in Jizhou City have not been cleared out yet!"

The old man slowly stood up, his eyes met Gu Kaizhi's, and he puffed out his chest and said, "Well, I'll give it my all."

"Lord City Lord, we are not really giving Jizhou City to the barbarians. After we unify the Nine Provinces, we can still drive the barbarians to the land of Beiyue. By then, the situation of the Nine Provinces will not change. The barbarians will just be guests. What's wrong with that?"

Gu Kaizhi waved his hands violently, and a burst of energy suddenly surged in the big tent. Then he stared at the old man with cold eyes and said angrily:

"Guest? The barbarians invaded my three northern counties, killing millions of people, and their corpses were made into weapons. I still want to treat such a vicious tribe as guests?"

"I admit that as the city lord, I, Gu Kaizhi, am not competent, causing millions of people to die. But if you want to negotiate peace with the barbarians, I will never agree!"

"Mr. Qian, considering our friendship of more than fifty years, I will forgive you today. I don't want to see you again."

After saying this, Gu Kaizhi made a gesture of invitation, and the curtain of the big tent was soon lifted by the soldiers in tacit understanding.

The old man took one last look at Gu Kaizhi, shook his head and sighed, then turned and left.

After such a farce, everyone in the big tent was aware of Gu Kaizhi's decision, and no one mentioned the peace talks again.

Everyone was looking at the map, studying the defensive deployment of Jizhou City.

The returning warrior suddenly said, "Lord City Lord, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

Gu Kaizhi slowly raised his head and frowned. There was still some anger in his heart, but he still patiently said, "Speak!"

The warrior slowly walked to the map, pointed at the continuous mountain range northwest of Jizhou City, and said:
"Everyone, please look, when we left the city this time, we passed by the Huaiyin Mountains and found that there were no strong barbarians guarding this mountain range. If someone can go north from this mountain range and enter Haizhou and ask for reinforcements from Haizhou, we may still have a chance!"

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up and they all looked towards the Huaiyin Mountains.

Some people in the crowd shook their heads:

"The Huaiyin Mountains are extremely steep. Even for a Bone Asura, it would be difficult to cross the 100-mile Huaiyin mountain range. Moreover, it is still unknown whether we can get help from Haizhou."

Everyone was speechless. At this time, a bone Shura was very important to Jizhou City. If it was bet on the Dragon Whale Army,
Someone quickly spoke out against it.

And everyone's eyes finally fell on Gu Kaizhi.

After a long silence, Gu Kaizhi slammed the table and looked at everyone.
