The atmosphere in Jiang Lincheng Government Office was as gloomy as ice.

"The Zhaojia Mountain City was attacked last night. Countless clan members died in battle, and many years of accumulation were burned to the ground..."

The Zhao family ancestor's voice was full of resentment, he gritted his teeth and said with cupped hands: "Please ask Commander Cao to make the decision for us!"

Everyone below had serious brows.

They are not fools. Yan Jun's move is obviously to disturb people's hearts, but he knows it but is helpless.

The treasure ship patrolling the sky is so fast that it ignores the dangers of mountains and rivers. It can only be beaten and cannot fight back, which makes people feel frustrated.

The spies have just sent back the news:

The patrolling treasure ship returned to camp. Nearly half of the treasures in the Zhao family's treasury were plundered, including many classics and rare spiritual plant seeds passed down from ancient times.

That is the reason why the Zhao family has been able to stand up to this day, and it can be said that it has suffered heavy losses.

After everyone got the news, they ordered the mountain city to set up additional formations that night to recruit people from various tribes to come back for reinforcements.

Who knows if he will be next.

In the hall, Cao Yuan's face was gloomy, and he comforted in a gentle voice: "Brother Zhao, my condolences, don't worry, if Wang Xuan is caught one day, he will be cut into pieces by Brother Zhao!"

The ancestor of the Zhao family cupped his hands and said, "I wonder what the commander has in mind?"

He seemed to be respectful, but he was clearly asking questions.

Cao Yuan's eyes immediately turned gloomy. He glanced around and saw the expressions of everyone in the hall. He knew that if this matter was not handled well today, people's hearts would be scattered.

He looked at the people in the hall and said coldly: "I'm afraid you have made a mistake. This is a battlefield. Life and death are only on a thin line. We have no way out. Being timid will lead to death!"

As he spoke, the aura of terror spread outward.

The flags and military rituals in the hall shook, and the tiles rattled.

Everyone was in a trance, as if they had arrived at a temple, with towering gods staring down majestically, which was creepy.

Only then did they remember that there was an Earth Immortal in front of them.

He is still a god of death who can control millions of military formations.

The ancestor of the Zhao family also broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and did not dare to talk any more.

After convincing everyone, Cao Yuan's tone softened, "The Yan army's move was clearly for a mountain city, but in fact it was aimed at Jiang Lin. It shows that we have deployed defenses here, making them feel like they are in trouble."

"The overall situation is of paramount importance, and you must not mess up your position."

An old man in Confucian robes standing next to him stood up and cupped his hands and said: "What the Marshal said is absolutely true. Although the patrol ship appears and disappears, its military strength is limited after all. I have three strategies to deal with it."

"First, you can pass on the heritage first and withdraw the blood of the clan. Even if it is attacked, the loss will not be much."

"Second, transport the spiritual materials from the mountain city to various prefectural cities for building and strengthening defenses, gathering lax cultivators, and gathering the troops of the state. As for the county towns, there is no need to pay attention to them. The Yan army will not attack in the name of righteousness."

"Third, there are always traces of a sneak attack by the sky survey ship. We can set up an ambush in advance. The Blue Family Demon Bird Army, the Tantai Family Sword Formation, and the Royal Vulcan Slave can all deal with it. If the three families merge into one, maybe we can eliminate them.

Such trouble!"

Cao Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Master Chen's plan is feasible. You can act accordingly. Now tens of millions of people have gathered outside the Taotie Army's tent. You only need to be patient for a few days. When the time comes, it will be time for us to counterattack!

"

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in shock.

Although they didn't know what Cao Yuan had to rely on, it was the best strategy at the moment, so they all stood up and handed over:

"I will obey the commander's orders!"

After everyone left, Cao Yuan's face became gloomy. He came to the back hall alone, waved his hand, and the door closed on its own.

There is a bronze tripod inside the house.

It is mottled with patina and covered with shells and corals.

Even if these shell corals are not in the water, they still remain moist, slowly squirming, and seem to be integrated with the bronze tripod, filled with rich yin energy.

Inside the bronze cauldron, there is a clear sea water.

Crash... As if feeling Cao Yuan's breath, the sea water in the bronze cauldron suddenly boiled, and transformed into a human figure with a tall figure and barbed fins on the back.

Cao Yuan said in a deep voice: "Master Qinglinzi Island, how are you prepared?"

The water waves vibrated and made a dull sound, "The sea ships on Biyi Island have been prepared for a long time. The cave owners of each cave have sent a total of 100,000 water monsters. But you, you must not go back on the terms you agreed on!"

Cao Yuan nodded with cold eyes and said: "It's just a port, and we can give it to you to exchange what we need. Hmm, if the owner of Qinglinzi Island had made a decision earlier, why would the Luo family have taken advantage of it for so many years?"

The monster in the water was silent for a moment, "We will never approach the Middle Earth unless we have to, but Dayan wants to build a patrol army, but it violates the taboo of Biyi Island."

Cao Yuan sneered in his heart, but his face was expressionless.

He sent spies to infiltrate the Luo family many years ago, get in touch with the monsters on the East China Sea Island, and find out the roots of these old monsters.

The ancestors of these monsters had a close relationship with the ancient Zhou Dynasty. Later, they were beaten so hard by the Great Chu Sky Patrol Army that they did not even dare to show their heads. Naturally, they were wary of them.

A port is worth it in exchange for the peace of the family, and the massive benefits in the future can also accumulate wealth for the family.

As for the righteousness of the human race.

Ever since his ancestor helped conquer the Wei Dynasty and was killed by Li Yuan, the Cao family no longer believed this nonsense!

…

The heavy rain for days has stopped and the sky is clear.

The hot sun shines on the earth, and the water rises, making people feel sticky and uncomfortable all over.

However, the people of Jiangzhou did not care about this.

"Everyone line up, no crowding!"

"Inform each camp that spies from the Jiangzhou family have infiltrated the crowd and spread rumors. Those who report will be heavily rewarded!"

"After the heavy rain, a plague will occur. Each camp will be isolated and no free movement will be allowed. Anyone with sweating or fever should report in advance!"

Beyond Yanchui Ridge, there is the northern plain of Jiangzhou.

The densely packed tents can be seen as far as the eye can see. Most of them are in tatters, and many are built with broad branches and leaves. The people are even more unkempt and smelly.

Even so, few people complained.

When faced with a catastrophic situation, you are lucky to survive.

Shangguan Yong is indeed talented in internal affairs. All refugees are managed according to military law. There are 50,000 people in each camp and they are not allowed to go out without permission.

There are galloping roads between each camp, and soldiers patrol the area on horseback. They personally comfort people and set up porridge sheds in circulation every day.

Although there were many people affected by the disaster, it was managed in an orderly manner.

Not only that, the Kunlong Army also set up military formations to sort out the surrounding ground energy, making it difficult for monsters and monsters to breed. They could also monitor the use of magic, and in a short period of time, many enemy troops had been cleared out.

On the other side of the plain is the camp of the defeated army.

Although they have not received weapons at this moment, they have returned to stability. Under the leadership of the Gongyang Family and the Xuanyuan Sect, they are training non-stop every day.

On the high mountain, Dugu Yi and other generals climbed up to watch.

"Well done, General Shangguan!"

Dugu Yi nodded with satisfaction and said: "Reducing the amount of porridge will prevent the victims from being full and causing trouble, and it can also reduce the pressure on food transportation."

Shangguan Yong cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty has given me the award, and I have experienced this for the first time in my humble position. It is inevitable that I have made some omissions. However, I have summarized my experience and compiled a "Disaster Relief Book", which is dedicated to the management of disaster victims."

"good!"

Dugu Yi nodded in approval and said: "If we do this well, we can win the hearts and minds of the people and promote the benevolence and righteousness of our country. General Shangguan, after we leave, tens of millions of victims will all be managed by your Kunlong Army. What's the difficulty?"

Shangguan Yong showed a gentle smile and said, "Don't worry, Commander. Originally, the biggest trouble was the local powerful clans, which were deeply entangled with vines and branches. However, as soon as Cao Yuan's poisonous plan came out, all the powerful people moved to Fucheng. The defeated army was also completely disappointed with the Southern Jin Dynasty. The people

Just give them both kindness and power."

"The Jin army did this on their own initiative!"

Taishi Fuye said coldly: "Originally, many of the 800,000 defeated troops were hesitant, but Cao Yuan's move was a loss of justice. The veterans in the army have already joined us one after another, but it saved us time."

"Gongyangtian promoted many frustrated veterans. The 800,000 defeated troops are now under control. After just a few battles, there will be no worries about recurrence."

Dugu Yi looked into the distance, "In that case, let's not let Cao Yuan wait too long."

"Shangguanyong!"

"The end is here!"

"I order your Kunlong army to suppress the rear and pacify the victims. Once Jianglin is captured, we will immediately begin to rebuild order in Jiangzhou. At the same time, we will send spies to sneak into several surrounding states to disrupt the hearts of the people!"

"I will obey the commander's orders!"

"Wu Tianya!"

"The end is here!"

"I order you to lead the Kanlong Army and set up defenses at the Jiuqu Tianhe River to guard the important food transportation route. At the same time, you will expand the navy. Once Jianglin City is defeated, you will immediately control the water network of the Southern Jin Dynasty!"

"The remaining armies, organize their armaments, and tomorrow the army will break out of camp and set off to attack Jianglin!"

"Yes, handsome!"
