"I haven't completely figured out what to do, but the general direction is there, Hu Mingzhi can't let him continue to stay in Yong'an County, he can be driven away, and if he can't be driven away, he will simply get rid of him. When Liu Yu Linglong said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "If you kill him, then the Hu family behind him can no longer stay, this Hu family can become one of the three major families in Baocang Province, and the relationship between the court and China is still quite solid, and it is really not easy to get rid of them in one fell swoop." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yu Linglong rubbed his brows, looking very distressed, but then smiled again: "But the more difficult things are done, the more interesting they are, right?"

"That's right, if you want to play, play big. Xia Fan laughed, patted Liu Yulinglong on the shoulder and said: "You have this heart, as the boss, I will definitely support you, and I will support you to the end, but I am busy with military affairs now, and I really can't spare it to help you, but for the sake of your safety, when you go to Yong'an County, I will ask Uncle Seven to accompany you, and later, after I defeat the Holy Dragon Kingdom and stabilize the situation, I will go to Yong'an County to meet you." ”

"Does the boss have any other instructions?" Liu Yu Linglong heard that Xia Fan was going to send the seventh uncle to his side, and he was grateful in his heart, but he didn't thank him, and he didn't need to thank him with their friendship.

"After you go back, don't immediately put the carriage and horse and Hu Mingzhi into a hard collision, this kind of competition on the table is different from the fight on the battlefield, if it really comes to the point of life and death between the bright sword and gun, it can only mean that the situation is out of control, if it really comes to this point, it will become unfavorable to us, because the imperial court will inevitably use this as an excuse to interfere in the military and political affairs of Baocang Province, this is the worst result, as for you said to kill Hu Mingzhi, it is the next choice, unless you have to do it, don't do it. ”

Xia Fan mentally calculated the situation in Baocang Province and Yong'an County that he was referring to, and said: " I suggest you, after you go back, discuss with Jia Yansong a lot, listen to his opinion, although this person is a little slippery, but after all, he has been in Yong'an County for many years, he can be regarded as a local snake, and the entanglement of interests in Yong'an County and even Baocang Province must be better understood than you, and what you have to do is to use your identity to win over a group of people who were originally related to your father and are now willing to listen to the greeting, and then unify their forces After you use this as capital to unite the wrong people and forces of the Hu family, start with the Hu family, and destroy Hu Mingzhi's backers first。 ”

"Boss, if you do what you say, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. Liu Yu Linglong said with a frown.

"Slow down, slow down, there is no need to be in a hurry, everything is based on the premise of stability, gradually penetrating, not impatient, slowly encroaching, and finally putting the treasure cang province in our hands, and at the same time making those who do not have the same heart with us helpless. Xia Fan patted Liu Yulinglong on the shoulder and said: "This matter is left to you to handle, you can just open your mouth if you need someone, I will try my best to satisfy you, and when the second child comes back, I will let him meet with you and have a chat, if he can get some strength from his father, this matter will be easier." ”

"Hmm. Liu Yu Linglong nodded.

After the two discussed some details and things that needed attention, Liu Yulinglong turned around and left, and the seventh uncle would go with him, accompanied by nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses.

Although Xia Fan didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, he was still quite willing to protect his brother, and he didn't want Zhao Wei's captivity to happen again.

"Little master, I'll go first. "Uncle Seven came over to say goodbye to Xia Fan.

"Seventh Uncle, you take care of your body, everything is based on your own safety, if you can't do anything, you just take Liu Yu Linglong and leave, the rest ......" Xia Fan paused and said: "It's not important, your safety is the most important." ”

"Don't worry, little master, I know it in my heart. Uncle Seven nodded in response.

After sending Liu Yulinglong and the seventh uncle away, Xia Fan also led 100,000 troops across the border and entered the Holy Dragon Country, and the direction of the march was the same as the path he took when he pursued Long Tieshan before, and the first city that Xia Fan wanted to take next was the city that Long Tieshan fled into with the remnants of his army - Longxu Pass.

There are a lot of cities in the Holy Dragon country in the name of the dragon, almost scattered all over the Holy Dragon Country, there is a saying about this, according to legend, the founding lord of the Holy Dragon Country once found a dragon vein, if it can be occupied, it can be Ze and future generations to achieve an immortal foundation, but this dragon vein is different from the general dragon vein, it is actually condensed and formed, and there is a tendency to take off. In other words, if you can't leave it behind, you won't be able to fly into the sky one day and turn into a real dragon.

The founding lord of the Holy Dragon Kingdom naturally didn't want the great benefits that were about to fly like this, so he thought about how to leave this dragon vein in order to benefit himself and future generations, and then there were many arrangements, such as moving the ancestral tomb of his dragon family to the dragon vein, and at the same time, in order to suppress the dragon vein, so that it could not take off and could only stay on the ground honestly, so many cities were built on it, and many people were moved to live in the city, and then a considerable number of cities in the name of the dragon were formed in the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

There is no way to verify whether the legend is true or false, and Xia Fan didn't care, he wanted to attack this Dragon Whisker Pass not because there might be a part of the dragon veins below it, but because the location of this Dragon Whisker Pass was really important.

If you enter the Yunhuan Lake from the Holy Dragon Country, in addition to taking the Qingcao River, there are several roads that can be walked, but there is only one that is really suitable for the passage of the army, and the Dragon Whisker Pass is like a lock that completely locks this road. This also means that Xia Fan wants to change from passive to active, and transfer the battlefield of the war to the Holy Dragon Country, this Dragon Whisker Pass must be taken, otherwise just the slow marching speed of the ox and the not very smooth logistics supply can drive him crazy. Not to mention, if you can't take the Dragon Beard Pass, it means that there is no unimpeded way to retreat, if there is a problem in the war, and there is no way to escape when you want to withdraw your troops, it will be a big trouble.

Of course, Xia Fan didn't want to lose the battle, but as the commander, he tried to be thorough in everything, and it was quite necessary to think about defeat before he was victorious.

Six or seven hundred miles is not a long road, and it didn't take long for Xia Fan to reappear outside Longshu Pass with 100,000 soldiers and horses. 100,000 soldiers and horses walked around, just the dust brought up by their feet could rise to the height, stretching for more than twenty or thirty miles, unless the defenders on the dragon beard pass were blind, otherwise it was impossible not to see it, so when Xia Fan arrived with the troops, the dragon beard pass was already heavily guarded, and all kinds of equipment to defend the city were ready, and even the city protection array had been opened, and a ray of light could be seen shining from a distance, forming a light curtain around the city wall, which was clearly visible even under the sun.

Long Tieshan has just entered Longxu Pass, although his power is higher, but after all, he is only a guest army and has just suffered a defeat, so he did not take over the defense of Longxu Pass, but now Xia Fan went and returned and also brought 100,000 troops to attack the city, the guards of Longxu Pass couldn't help but feel a little numb, whether they really wanted to ask Long Tieshan's opinion or just politely asked, in short, the guard came to the door to ask for advice, Long Tieshan also took advantage of the situation to climb the city with him, looking at Xia Fan and the 100,000 army outside Longshu Pass, his face became quite ugly。

Now Long Tieshan really wanted to grab Xia Fan's clothes, and scolded him for bullying people too much.

As a general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, Long Tieshan certainly knows that Xia Fan has no problem doing this now, and even the timing is very good, almost so that his side has no time to rest at all, and he can only be tired of coping, so the possibility of him breaking through the level in one fell swoop is quite high.

But it is clear and clear, but as Xia Fan's opponent and the party that is going to be attacked, the more Long Tieshan sees Xia Fan's intentions clearly, the more angry he becomes, and what makes him even more angry and helpless is that in the face of Xia Fan's actions, he still has no way at all, at least he doesn't dare to take his 20,000 remnants to fight Xia Fan, because then it will only destroy the whole army.

"Dare to ask the general, what should I do now?" the guard of Long Xu Pass glanced outside, and respectfully asked Long Tieshan for advice.

"For now, we can only wait for help. Long Tieshan looked at Xia Fan from a distance and said: "Although it is said that Longsu Pass is a border pass, you have a lot of defenders here, there are more than 50,000 people, plus the 20,000 soldiers I brought are also 70,000, but if you want to go out of the field battle, there is no chance of winning at all, and being able to hold this Longsu Pass is already a great achievement for you, but don't worry, Longsu Pass has a large array of city guards and 70,000 troops, and it is completely possible to block the enemy from the pass and hold on until reinforcements arrive." ”

"I also ask the general to lend a hand, and the last general is grateful. The guard said respectfully.

"I won't sit idly by if the need arises. Long Tieshan said in a deep voice.

Xia Fan was also standing five miles outside Longsu Pass at this time, looking at the head of the city, while beside him were seven or eight array mages, carefully observing the Great Array of Longshu Pass.

These array mages were not recruited by Xia Fan, but the disciples and grandchildren of the formation, the first one is called Chengguan, but the fifth disciple of the formation, and he is very respected by him, so he was sent to Xia Fan's side to listen to it.

This Cheng Guan is older than Xia Fan, but his strength is only eight in the God Transformation Realm, but his attainments in the formation are quite good. When Jinsuo brought a group of disciples and grandchildren to help Xia Fan arrange the big formation around the lake before, Xia Fan specially met these people, and had a general understanding of their level and character in the formation, among which Chengguan gave him a pretty good impression, so this time Chengguan came to join the army on the order of Jinsuo, Xia Fan was very happy, and he didn't care too much about him bringing his apprentices with him.

"Cheng Guan, can you see any clues, you don't have it?If you want to preside over and break the big protective array here, do you have any regulations?" Xia Fan looked at Long Xuguan and asked casually without looking back.

"When I returned to the Lord, I saw some doorways, and if I broke the formation by my subordinates, I had some ideas, but if I wanted to implement it, I had to think about it carefully, and at the same time, I had to ask the soldiers and horses under the command of the Lord to help. Cheng Guan first bowed respectfully, and then answered Xia Fan's question.
