Chapter 479 Jizhou Seeks Help

The evening breeze blew through the long street, bringing a strong chill.

East City of Jinjiang City, on the top of the city wall.

Hundreds of soldiers stood in neat rows on the top of the city wall, and all the generals of the Dragon Whale Army gathered together.

Outside the city, a huge fire was burning fiercely.

The air was soon filled with the smell of burning corpses.

Everyone looked outside quietly, the firelight illuminating everyone's faces.

Du Lu, who was standing next to Xiang Jie, sighed deeply: "If we can recover these corpse puppets, this trip will be completely successful."

Xiang Jie beside him said sullenly: "When you spend more time with Brother Fang, you will understand what kind of person he is!"

During the trip to Leizhou, Fang Xuan executed Chu Yuanzhen for the injustice of the people. That scene is still vivid in Xiang Jie's mind.

Whenever Xiang Jie thought of the countless lonely souls and the scene of them paying homage to this person, he felt extremely complicated.

The flames were still burning, and Fang Xuan, Xiang Jie and Du Lu were walking on the top of the city wall.

The three of them were silent for a moment, and Xiang Jie said, "Brother Fang, Lao Du and I will be returning to Jingzhou soon."

Fang Xuan nodded. He had seen many separations along the way, some short-lived and some spanning life and death. He was no longer surprised by this.

At this time, he still asked, "So soon? It won't be too late to leave tomorrow."

Xiang Jie smiled, stopped, put his right hand on Fang Xuan's shoulder, and said, "I have an important task ahead of me, and I dare not delay even for a moment."

"Such a powerful evil demon has appeared in Jinjiang City. We must report this to Elder Sun so that the Martial Temple can prepare early!"

Du Lu also stretched out his left hand, ready to put it on Fang Xuan's right shoulder, but suddenly remembered that he and Fang Xuan had only known each other for four days, so he withdrew his hand in dismay, with embarrassment on his face, and said, "The mountains and rivers remain unchanged, and the rivers and streams flow forever. Brother Fang, we will regret it sooner or later!"

Fang Xuan smiled at the other person, reached out and patted Du Lu on the shoulder.

The embarrassment was gone, Du Lu smiled and said: "Brother Fang, the time is too short now. When we meet next time, you must pass on to me the secret of how to control the Samadhi Divine Fire!"

Although Fang Xuan didn't have any secret, he nodded in agreement at this moment.

After a pause, Xiang Jie asked, "What are your plans next? Going back to Haizhou?"

"On our way here, we heard that the barbarians from North Vietnam were heading south. Those barbarians are very aggressive, and the war will definitely spread to Haizhou and Jizhou."

Fang Xuan hesitated for a moment, "With Haizhou's current military equipment, the barbarians won't be able to do anything in a short time."

"King Xuanyi proclaimed himself emperor in Yizhou, and Hongmei proclaimed himself emperor in Yanzhou. Now that I am in Zhongzhou, which is a land without a master, it is time for the Dragon Whale Army to expand."

Xiang Jie and Du Lu, as the core members of the Martial Temple, are responsible for maintaining stability in Kyushu and do not know much about the war.

After listening to Fang Xuan, Xiang Jie nodded and said, "Let us know when you need us."

"If you have time, you can go back to Jingzhou. Old Sun misses you and often mentions you to us."

Thinking of the kind old man, Fang Xuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

The three finally said goodbye.

The barbarian army heading south was blocked at Pingliao City in Haizhou.

The Beast Army was defeated and Tuoba Ren was killed in the battle.

This news swept across Kyushu like a hurricane.

South of Kyushu, most people are waiting and watching, and are looking forward to the barbarians moving south.

They wanted to see how long Haizhou and Jizhou could hold out against the barbarian cavalry.

The battle of the Dragon Whale Army in Pingliao City once again brought the Dragon Whale Army into the sight of everyone in Jiuzhou.

Two days later.

Yue Zhenting and Chu Chong led the Longjing Army back to the city.

The army was briefly stationed at the foot of the North Mountain.

In the military camp, Fang Li looked down at the map spread out on the table, staring at the three words "Jinjiang City", and said in a deep voice: "Brother, you have to open up the territory of Zhongzhou for us first."

A group of generals including Chu Chong were excited.

They had just received news from "Spider Web" that Fang Xuan and Yixiantian had successfully captured Jinjiang City.

Yue Zhenting said in a deep voice:

"Daqian and Wanzhou are both keeping their eyes on Zhongzhou, and there is also Hongmei in the north. If you move Zhongzhou now, you may become the target of the three families' concentrated fire!"

Originally, the people of the three states were still eyeing the 300,000 Dragon Guards in Zhongzhou. Now that Fang Xuanzhen has occupied Zhongzhou under the banner of the Dragon Whale Army, he has completely torn his relations with the three families.

If Wanzhou wants to revive Dayang, Zhongzhou is the top priority.

If Daqian and Hongmei want to take over Jiuzhou, Zhongzhou is also a place that must be fought for.

Compared to the barbarian army marching southward, their eyes were always on Zhongzhou.

It’s just that they don’t want to become the target of the three companies’ concentrated fire, so they are all competing secretly.

"Brother Xuan must have a foolproof plan if he does this." Chu Chong prayed in his heart.

Fang Li looked around at everyone:

"I want to send 200,000 Dragon Whale troops to take control of Pantai Pass. What do you think?"

Chu Chong hurriedly said, "General Fang, I am willing to go!"

Yue Zhenting hesitated and said, "Marshal Fang, the Lord now occupies Jinjiang City, which is only a small city after all. The three families will not tear each other apart so quickly. If we really march south with a large army, the situation in Kyushu will change, and the situation will be difficult to control."

As a former naval commander, Yue Zhenting also has his own unique insights into the overall situation.

As he was speaking, a soldier came in hurriedly and shouted:
"General Fang, there is a warrior outside who wants to see you, claiming to be from Jizhou!"

"People from Jizhou. Warriors." Everyone in the hall was a little confused.

I thought Gu Kaizhi couldn't defend Jizhou City, so he came to Haizhou for help?
But shouldn’t we go to the ancient city to seek help, instead of heading north?

"Let him in."

Fang Li pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

Everyone did not leave, but there were a few more warriors in the hall, standing behind Fang Li.

The soldier took the order and retreated. A quarter of an hour later, a man entered the tent.

Yue Zhenting, Chu Chong and others looked at the newcomer with scrutiny.

The man who came was very old, with torn clothes. He didn't look like a warrior at all, but more like a refugee.

Wang Haoze understood Fang Li's inquiring look, clasped his fists and bowed, saying:
"I am Wang Haoze, and I am here to give this order to Lord Gu Kaizhi of Jizhou."

After a pause, seeing Fang Li nod, he looked up and asked, "Is this the commander of the Dragon Whale Army?"

It turns out that he is Gu Kaizhi’s man!

Everyone was silent.

Fang Li nodded and said, "I am Fang Li."

The old man was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "I have traveled across the entire Qiaoshan Mountain Range and finally met you."

"General Fang, Jizhou has been besieged by the barbarian army for more than half a month. The 200,000-strong reinforcement army has been blocked. Jizhou City can no longer hold on!"

"Please ask General Fang to send troops to save Jizhou from danger!"

The old man spoke sincerely and excitedly, quietly waiting for the crowd's reaction.

Chu Chong, Yue Zhenting and others were also shocked.

The Qiaoshan Mountain Range stretches for eight hundred miles and is mostly cliffs, making it difficult even for a Bone Asura to cross it.

This old man was extremely vigorous, no wonder he looks so miserable now.
