Although Lu Chuan asked Xia Fan to seize the treasure in order to stir up Huang Lan Haolin's plan to use the Hehuan Divine Dao to attract the powerhouses of the Divine Spirit Realm to participate in the war and borrow troops from other countries, but for Xia Fan to succeed, Lu Chuan was really a little bottomless, so he thought about taking advantage of the opportunity that part of Lan Haolin's troops were now contained by Baishi City, so that the troops on the front line were not as good as before, first hit Lan Haolin fiercely, and try to annihilate his soldiers and horses, so that even if he could not defeat Lan Haolin in one fell swoop, he could greatly weaken his strength.

Then even if Xia Fan didn't succeed in stopping Lan Haolin and Hehuan Shendao's opportunity to borrow troops, and finally let Hehuan Shendao borrow soldiers and horses from other small countries, Lu Chuan wouldn't be too worried that the strength of the two sides would become very different.

Of course, Lu Chuan hoped that Xia Fan would succeed, so that his all-out attack could be smoothly advanced, and it was very likely that Lan Haolin would be defeated in one fell swoop, thus ending the current civil strife in the Blue Jade Kingdom and allowing the common people who had suffered from the conservative war to live a peaceful life again.

Although it is said to be an attack on the whole front, it is not a wantless and indiscriminate attack like a flood, but it has a set goal, and the points of attack on the Lu Chuan side are all important cities that are really stuck in the offensive line, so it can mobilize superior forces and crush the troops locally. This can be regarded as the advantage of the attacking side, occupying the initiative in the battle.

On the defensive side, Lan Haolin's side was not so comfortable, because they were passively defending, and it was impossible to just concentrate their forces in a few cities and abandon other cities, so their forces became scattered. In addition, the previous 300,000 troops were wiped out, and another 300,000 troops were pinned down by Baishi City, resulting in a relatively small number of troops that Lan Haolin could use to support, so in the face of Lu Chuan's all-out attack and the tactics that bloomed everywhere, the troops suddenly became overstretched, and the only way to do so was to tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall.

This also made Lan Haolin more and more eager to hope that Hehuan Shendao could complete the established plan as soon as possible, not to mention whether he could recruit enough gods and spirit realm powerhouses, at least he could borrow three or five hundred thousand soldiers and horses to solve the urgent need was the most important thing.

In the loud sound of "booming ......", the protective array of Sitong City completely collapsed, and the city gate was also blasted when the light of the formation shrouded outside the city shattered, and then the soldiers and horses on Lu Chuan's side rushed into the city like wolves.

At this point, even if the battle against Sitong City is decided, the rest is just some trivial affairs.

"I hope that guy Xia Fan can do what he promised, and only in this way will the hard work and sacrifice of my generals be wasted. The bloody thorn who led the troops to attack the city looked at the military flag of Lan Haolin's side that was pulled out on the head of the city and was thrown down, and thought to himself. Although he didn't have a good impression of Xia Fan, he knew very well in his heart that he was a very capable person, but he thought that Xia Fan would face not only Hehuan Shendao, but also the powerhouses of the Divine Spirit Realm who had taken refuge in him, which made Bloodthorn a little less optimistic about whether Xia Fan could succeed.

............

Since there was nothing left to explore in the Great Wilderness Ancestor's cave mansion, Xia Fan was ready to return to White Rock City. When he came, he came alone, but when he went back, there were three more people around him, namely Ge Changhe, Xiao Fan, and Jinsu.

Ge Changhe was willing to follow, Xia Fan had expected it, after all, the two had gotten along very well since they got acquainted at this time, although Xia Fan did not show his intention to recruit him, but Ge Changhe had already stated that he would take refuge in killing Hehuan Shinto. Now that Ge Changhe has done what he says, Xia Fan is naturally quite satisfied. After all, it would be quite good for a god realm powerhouse to become his subordinate, at least he could enhance the high-end force on his side again.

In addition, Ge Changhe is not alone, although he has been cultivating for many years in order to seek revenge on Hehuan Shinto, he is not just cultivating, but also gathering a lot of manpower, and has also become the national teacher of a small country.

Now that Ge Changhe has taken refuge in Xia Fan, it means that the small country he is in has basically become a vassal Xia Fan's power, and at least Xia Fan can be provided with a force of 180,000 troops. For Xia Fan, who doesn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands now, it's really pretty good news.

As for Xiao Fan's joining, it was very surprising and even laughing and crying for Xia Fan.

Because Xiao Fan's reason turned out to be that he helped Xia Fan and Ge Changhe to be enemies of Hehuan Shendao, which was equivalent to offending the entire Hetian Dao, and now although Hehuan Shendao is dead, this feud is also dead. Unless the Hetian Ancestor also died, his life would be in danger at any time, for the sake of safety, he decided to follow Xia Fan first, which could be regarded as finding a shelter for himself.

In order to be able to persuade Xia Fan to take him in and provide protection, Xiao Pan began to agitate his lips and tongue to conduct a rather tempting lobbying. For example, he said that although he was a second-tier dealer, he had a sufficient supply of goods in his hands, as long as Xia Fan had spiritual jade or other things to exchange, then he could get whatever Xia Fan needed.

In addition, Xiao Pan also said that although he was not a national teacher of a certain country, he joined a chamber of commerce composed of many cultivators, in order to communicate with each other. And the influence of this chamber of commerce in the Great Han Dynasty may be constant, but the influence in the Blue Jade Kingdom and these small countries around it is still quite huge, and almost all cultivators deal with them again.

Xiao Fan promised Xia Fan that as long as he was willing to protect himself, then he was willing to use his connections in the Chamber of Commerce to help Xia Fan lobby cultivators who had business dealings with the Chamber of Commerce, even if he didn't pull them over to join Xia Fan, at least it would make them not hostile to Xia Fan's forces.

Regarding the various benefits that Xiao Fan said, Xia Fan didn't believe much in his heart. Of course, he knew that Xiao Pan was definitely not lying, but he could be sure that there was quite a lot of moisture in those words, and it was really difficult to say whether it was reliable or not. Even for Xiao Fan's words that he took refuge in seeking refuge because he was afraid of Hetiandao's revenge, Xia Fan didn't believe it, he still felt that it was just Xiao Fan's excuse, and his real purpose was just to pull business.

However, since Xiao Pan took the initiative to take refuge, Xia Fan couldn't refuse rudely, so he agreed to let him walk with him temporarily, and then consider other things based on his future performance.

If Ge Changhe's refuge is to repay his kindness, and Xiao Fan's refuge has various interest appeals, then Jinsuo's refuge is very simple.

The reason why the formation took refuge in Xia Fan was very simple, that is, he had seen Xia Fan's previous use of the space formation to resist the killing blow of Hehuan Ancestor's divine thoughts, so he felt that Xia Fan's attainments in the formation had far surpassed his own, so he moved the idea of wanting to follow him and learn more from him. Of course, later Xia Fancai's Dao Formation was able to make a decision so quickly, and it was Ge Changhe who once told him that he had learned a lot of formation skills from Xia Fan, and Xia Fan did not hide his secrets.

Xia Fan really didn't expect that he just casually told Ge Changhe some formations that day, and it would be an unexpected surprise to attract a strong god realm powerhouse like Jinsuo who has a high attainment in formations.

On the way back to Baishi City, Xia Fan told him a lot about his understanding of the space formation, so that the array could be taught.

Xia Fan was back to Baishi City with Jinsu, while Ge Changhe and Xiao Pan still had some things to deal with, so they would have to come over later.

When he arrived in White Rock City, Xia Fan found that only Bu Fenghou was there, and Yu Kongyue and Al Zhanhu and others were not in White Stone City.

Xia Fan asked Bu Fenghou for a while, only to know that since he went to seize the treasure, the army under Lu Chuan began to attack in an all-round way, completely breaking the situation of confrontation with Lan Haolin's army on a long front. Because the timing of Lu Chuan's attack was extremely good, it hit the juncture of Lan Haolin's sharp reduction in strength, so the offensive in front was relatively smooth. In order to resist the attack of Lu Chuan's army, Lan Haolin constantly transferred troops, and even had the idea of using the Yunhuanhu garrison.

Originally, Yunhuanhu had 100,000 permanent troops, and with the addition of 300,000 troops later, Yunhuanhu already had a total of 400,000 troops. Although Yu Kongyue and Bu Fenghou led troops to harass them from time to time in order to train their troops, and also killed some defenders of Yunhuanhu, the number of dead people was just a drop in the bucket for 400,000.

If Lan Haolin really mobilized these 400,000 troops, not to mention transferring them all, even if he only transferred 200,000, it would inevitably have a great impact on the situation that was originally favorable to Lu Chuan.

In order to help Lu Chuan, an ally, Yu Kongyue led his troops to Yunhuanhu Lake, and made a posture that he would attack at any time and take Yunhuanhu Lake in one fell swoop, forcing Lan Haolin to give up his plan to transfer troops. And the barbarians led by Al Zhanhu were already extremely belligerent, and they were also determined to help Xia Fan and Lan Haolin to the end, so they followed to help.

Xia Fan couldn't help but nod slightly after hearing what the Marquis of Bu Feng said, he was quite satisfied with Yu Kongyue's ability to act with the camera and make these decisions that were beneficial to the overall situation. However, when he saw the Marquis of Bufeng reporting here, his face was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but ask with some confusion: "What's wrong? It can't be that something went wrong in Baishi City when I was away, right?"

"No, no, White Rock City is fine, it's just ...... It's just that I'm in trouble, and I really don't know how to deal with it, so I want to ask you to call the shots. Bu Fenghou said with a face full of shame.

"What's the trouble?" Xia Fan saw that Bu Fenghou, who had always been decisive, actually showed such an embarrassed look, but he was interested.

"Actually, this matter is also related to the barbarians helping us go to Yunhuanhu Lake to oppress the garrison over there......" Bu Fenghou immediately told Xia Fan the whole thing from beginning to end.
