"If Marquis of Qishan was an ordinary scholar, I am confident that I can defeat him. However, he has been a scholar for more than 20 years and has fought against the barbarians many times. His experience far exceeds mine. If I am not a scholar, it will be difficult for me to defeat him. Marquis of Qishan's family has been passed down for hundreds of years. He has many treasures such as sacred blood and sacred pages. "
"Think of a way to break through Lingding Ocean's Water Tribe? That's too difficult. The barbarians even hope that we will clash with the Water Tribe. This way, the Water Tribe of Kong Shengwen Domain can legitimately attack the city. When that time comes, I will be convicted by the King Of Chu. "
We can only travel along the north bank of the Pearl River to Guangzhou City, then turn back from the south bank to reach the Pearl River. Since the barbarians have mobilized the Water Tribe to stop us, they will not just force us to travel for two or three days. It is very likely that they will ambush us at a crucial moment. The problem is that I don't know much about the surrounding regions. My understanding of the five major barbarian tribes is also limited. I need to train in Pearl City for a month or two. "
Fang Yun was thinking when he suddenly received a letter. Due to his special identity, not many people took the initiative to contact him since he started traveling. Even after he wrote many famous poems, most of them were from outside of Chu.
The swan goose condensed into words and floated in the air.
Fang Yun was slightly surprised because the person who was passing the letter was none other than one of the five generals of the Pearl River Army, General Zhang Qingfeng, Old Han Lin. Take a look.
Zhang Qingfeng was a distant relative of Zhang Longxiang. He was already over 80 years old, but he was of the same generation as Zhang Longxiang.
After arriving at Kong Shengwen Domain, Fang Yun also inquired about Zhang Qingfeng's deeds. As Zhang Qingfeng had long left the Marquis of Zhujiang's territory, even if Zhang Wankong was a traitor, he would not be affected. Therefore, his position in the Pearl River Army was very stable and he had always been in control of the central army.
The main mission of the Pearl River Army was to protect the Marshal of the Pearl River Army, the Marquis of Zhujiang.
Zhang Qingfeng and Zhang Wankong were very close, but after Zhang Wankong was suspected of being a traitor and Zhang Longxiang was arrested, Zhang Qingfeng no longer contacted the Marquis of Zhujiang. However, there was one year when Zhang Jingan really couldn't live on anymore and went to Zhang Qingfeng's grain store in the capital to ask for money for rice, flour and silver. The people in the store didn't say anything and gave him double the amount.
It had been many days since Fang Yun obtained the official seal, but this was the first time that Old Master Zhang Qingfeng had received it.
"The two shores of the Pearl River are fraught with danger. The Old Man can't even fend for himself. Please be extra careful."
This short sentence made Fang Yun feel a great sense of crisis.
"Zhang Qingfeng is known for his steadiness and shrewdness. I've been out of prison for so long and Zhang Qingfeng has been able to hold back and not contact me. However, he suddenly couldn't hold it in today. This means that the following journey will be a hundred times more dangerous than before. I originally suspected that the Barbarians would act. Although Marquis Lumen is far more shrewd than Zhang Qingfeng, he led the army in the north. This is the first time he came down south to the Pearl River, so his familiarity with this place is similar to mine. He doesn't have as deep an understanding as Zhang Qingfeng. "
"Marquis Lumen has the help of Marquis Qishan, so he might have realized the danger of this trip. However, will Marquis Qishan trust him? Although their relationship isn't bad, they can't be considered close friends. Moreover, Marquis Qishan really wants me dead! Just based on this point, Marquis Qishan might not tell me the truth. Marquis Lumen is a scholar. Even if he is surrounded by the Barbarians, he can escape. However, I'm just a Hanlin, so my chances of escaping are much smaller. "
Fang Yun pondered. He still did not know what method the Barbarians would use to start the war. He had thought of a few extremely small possibilities, but most of them were rejected. After all, the Barbarians were not the human race. Their intelligence, ability to mobilize, and ability to cooperate were limited. It was very difficult for them to do things that only the human race could do.
"More importantly, the Barbarian Race of Kong Shengwen Jie only has three Great Barbarian Kings, and they are only the spiritual pillars of the Barbarian Race. They cannot participate in the war. In history, any Great Barbarian King that personally participated in the war would be killed by the scholars of the human race. The scholars of the human race of the literary world, other than using poems for soldiers, almost never act. There are only a few records of them acting, and it was only to protect the soldiers on their side as they retreated. "
"The reason for this is because Kong Shengwen Jie needs the Barbarian Race to train the human race. Any country that cannot withstand the Barbarian Race is not worthy of staying in the literary world. Therefore, every time the Barbarian Race invades, the countries will do their best to resist. It is also because of the threat of the Barbarian Race that the seven countries of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qin can stand tall. If any king makes a big mistake or ignores the court, the civil and military officials will try to make up for it. "
"If we are attacked by the Barbarian Race, even if the whole army is wiped out, the scholars of Chu may not necessarily come forward. Even if the other scholars want to help, they will not be able to do it. "
"Next, I have to speed up my practice, break through as soon as possible, and become a scholar. Once I become a scholar, I will be able to drive the marquis carriage. Even if I am surrounded by many Barbarian Kings, I will be able to retreat strategically. "
Countless thoughts flashed through Fang Yun's mind. Finally, he made a decision, settled down, and worked hard to break through the Hanlin Academy and become a scholar.
The army arrived outside Peng City and set up camp. Fang Yun wanted to go out of the camp to see the Lingding Ocean formed by the Pearl River estuary, but he was stopped by Marquis Lumen. He could not leave the camp and could only continue to practice.
The army did not stay for long. Early in the morning, they went along the river bank to Guangzhou City.
Before leaving, Fang Yun heard strict orders from all the troops, battalions, and teams, asking everyone to be ready for battle at any time. After all, the distance from here to Guangzhou City was more than 400 miles. It was very likely that the Barbarian Race would attack again.
Because the Water Tribe had already controlled the Pearl River, the Barbarian Race army in Jiangnan was very likely to quickly cross the river and launch a sneak attack.
Just when the army arrived between Guangzhou City and Shenzhen City, a large number of Barbarian Race, with the help of the Water Tribe, crossed the river and launched an attack.
This time, the Barbarian Race army, from the Barbarian Race to the Barbarian Kings, totaled more than 40,000. The leaders were the Barbarian Kings Xiong Bei and Lang Dan.
Both sides fought fiercely, and blood flowed like rivers. After an hour of fighting, Fang Yun realized that his side was in a disadvantageous position. Even if they could block the Barbarian Tribe's attack in the end, they would have to pay an extremely heavy price.
"Marquis Lumen, please allow this Marquis to join the battle!" Fang Yun finally could not help but send a message to Marquis Lumen.
Marquis Lumen continued to fight with the Barbarian Kings, but did not say anything.
After a few dozen breaths, Fang Yun took a deep breath and sent another message to ask for battle.
Marquis Lumen turned a deaf ear.
After three breaths, Fang Yun asked for battle for the third time.
Suddenly, Marquis Lumen's voice exploded in Fang Yun's ears, like a mountain collapsing, falling rocks rolling.
"Shut up! Before the battle, how can you be so chatty? If you say half a word, this Marquis will take away your position as Marquis of Zhujiang for disturbing the morale of the army, and seal your courage! "
Fang Yun did not expect that his good intentions would be met with such humiliation. He clenched his teeth and stared at Marquis Lumen's back in the sky.
"I will make you regret what you've done these days!"
Fang Yun finished his words and returned to the carriage.
After a few minutes, Marquis Lumen's voice exploded in the sky.
"The Lumen Army is in prison. Brother Gou, please help us!"
Then, an old but powerful voice came from a hundred miles away.
"Marquis Lumen, don't panic. Old Man will open the city gates and mobilize the armored ox carts and flood dragon carriages to support you!"
