Chapter 499: The picture shows the dagger
The crisis of Jizhou City has been resolved.

After Fang Li's surprise attack on Lanqing City, the barbarian army's plan to move south was interrupted.

The noses of the tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers that Fang Li sent out directly angered Tuoba Yangbo.

With his rage completely ignited, Tuoba Yangbo no longer cared about continuing to attack Jizhou City, and led his 300,000 troops back north.

Originally thought, this is just an ordinary battle to regain the rear, but after 300,000 barbarian troops and the Dragon Whale Army fought on the Lanqing Plain outside Lanqing City.

The 300,000-strong barbarian army returned in defeat, knowing full well that a warrior from the fifth level of the heavens had died in the battle.

The defeated 300,000 barbarian troops, shrouded in fear and hunger, were then stabbed in the butt by the 30,000 troops that rushed out of Jizhou City.

Tuoba Yangbo suffered such a great defeat that he fell seriously ill.

The remaining 300,000 troops retreated to a city south of Lanqing City and huddled down there.

This battle directly shocked Kyushu.

It allowed countless people and warriors who were afraid of the barbarians to regain their confidence.

Of course, it was during this period that Daqian and Wanzhou truly saw the horror of the Dragon Whale Army.

This news is too bizarre and too shocking.

While countless people lamented that the barbarians were vulnerable, they were also terrified by the terrifying combat power of the Dragon Whale Army.

Two days later.

In Lanqing City, Fang Li sat on the main seat in the City Lord's Mansion. After commanding the army to such a great victory, he seemed a little overworked at the moment, and his elegant face was full of fatigue.

On both sides of him are Shui Houzi, Chu Chong, Yue Zhenting and others.

On the other side of the lobby were Jizhou Governor Gu Kaizhi, Wang Haoze and others.

As the most powerful person in Jizhou, he now tacitly agreed to sit under Fang Li. The message he conveyed was self-evident.

Shui Houzi and others were extremely excited. After experiencing such a great victory, everyone was still immersed in the joy of defeating the barbarians.

On the contrary, although Gu Kaizhi and others looked calm, they could still be seen to be in a trance vaguely.

Within a month, Jizhou City was besieged by the barbarian army, and then the barbarian army was defeated by the Dragon Whale Army.

During this short period of time, everyone in Jizhou City felt like they were on a roller coaster.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? Today is a wedding banquet, everyone relax."

Fang Li smiled and raised the wine cup on the desk in front of him.

"Yes, yes, it's a great day today, everyone please come in!"

Everyone smiled and raised their glasses to drink together.

After a moment, Gu Kaizhi stood up, raised his glass and said to Fang Li: "Commander Fang, the Dragon Whale Army saved Jizhou from disaster. On behalf of the three million people in Jizhou City, I thank you!"

After he finished speaking, a group of officials from Jizhou behind him stood up and bowed to express their gratitude.

Fang Li's face was calm. He did not show the slightest sign of being flattered by Gu Kaizhi's thanks. Instead, he accepted it calmly.

After Gu Kaizhi and the others finished drinking the wine in their cups, Fang Li slowly said, "Master Gu, now that the barbarian army is heading south, Jizhou and Haizhou are in a desperate situation."

"I see that the barbarian army is determined to take back their homeland. This crisis has not yet been completely overcome. We must guard against arrogance and impatience."

Gu Kaizhi also nodded in agreement.

After a brief silence, the official behind Gu Kaizhi stood up, picked up the pot of wine at hand and took a big gulp, then bowed to Fang Li and said in a deep voice: "Commander Fang, you helped my Jizhou City get out of trouble this time. Everyone in Jizhou City remembers your kindness."

"It's just about the garrison in Longcheng. I dare to ask Commander Fang to take back his order."

"My Jizhou and Haizhou are equal. Now that Daqian and Yanzhou Hongmei have established their own countries, their eyes are also on the three northern states."

"The Dragon Whale Army stationed in Longcheng will inevitably make others think that Jizhou has surrendered to Haizhou. Jizhou just wants to stay out of the world's situation. I hope Commander Fang will help us!"

The official said this with all his heart. But the faces of Shui Houzi, Chu Chong and others opposite them suddenly darkened.

They all looked at Gu Kaizhi with a hint of anger; how could an official have the courage to do such a big thing without Gu Kaizhi's instructions.

Gu Kaizhi lowered his head and poured wine alone without expressing his opinion.

Only Wang Haoze, who was sitting next to Gu Kaizhi, seemed a little surprised. Looking at the official who was arguing with reason, his face flushed.

At this moment, the entire hall suddenly became quiet, and then became noisy.

"How shameless! He overturned the table right after dinner. This is the character of Jizhou!"

"Guzhou Mu, you must give us an explanation for this matter!"

Everyone was talking at once, their faces turning red as they argued.

"Quiet!"

Fang Li, who had been silent for a long time, stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the whole hall suddenly became quiet.

He glanced at everyone and then looked at Gu Kaizhi.

Gu Kaizhi's eyes met his, and he seemed to know that he was in the wrong, so he lowered his head again.

Fang Li slowly spoke, "Mr. Gu, I will not ask the reason for this matter. As for the previously signed agreement, I, Fang Li, will not back down."

"Of course, now that the Nine Provinces have been divided, if you, Jizhou, want to unilaterally break the agreement, naturally there will be no fair people to come out and negotiate."

"But as we are closely related, I still want to give you some advice."

"The three million people in Jizhou City should evacuate Jizhou City as soon as possible. Three days later, our Dragon Whale Army will also evacuate Lanqing City."

As soon as these words fell, Gu Kaizhi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked up, looked at Fang Li with an apologetic look, and said, "Commander Fang, we were wrong first, but now is the time to annihilate the barbarian army in one fell swoop. We should advance and retreat together!"

"As for the previously signed agreement, Mr. Wang holding the golden seal means that I have signed it, so I will naturally not go back on my word." He pointed at the official and said coldly, "As for him, I will definitely give Commander Fang a satisfactory explanation when I return."

Fang Li looked at the other person calmly.

Naturally, I know it clearly in my heart.

The official said this simply because he wanted to fight for his own opinion. If that didn't work, even if Gu Kaizhi stepped forward, his words would not fall on deaf ears.

But they didn't expect that Fang Li would refuse so decisively and even want to withdraw from Lanqing City.

Fang Li waved his hand, looked at Gu Kaizhi seriously, and said: "Some words weigh four pounds, but if they are put on the stage, they weigh more than a thousand pounds."

"Another 500,000 barbarian troops from North Vietnam are heading south. They are determined to wipe out Ji and Hai provinces. I will not defend Lanqing City to the death."

"As for advancing and retreating together with Jizhou, such heavy words are beyond our reach."

"see a visitor out!"

blessed land.

Mighty giant trees that are several meters thick stretch across the sky and the earth. The entire forest is vast and boundless, stretching endlessly.

Among the countless giant trees, a deep pool stands out.

At this time, two people were standing in front of the deep pool.

One is old and the other is younger.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, and through the countless giant trees, he said solemnly, "Here it comes."

The younger man's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he said:

"Don't worry, Ancestor. We will make sure these invaders never return this time!"
