"I haven't completely figured out what to do, but the general direction is there. Hu Mingzhi cannot let him stay in Yong'an County. If he can be driven away, he will be driven away. If he can't be driven away, he will be removed." When Liu Yulinglong said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes and said, "If he kills him, then the Hu family behind him can no longer stay. The Hu family can become one of the three major families in Baocang Province. The relationship between the court and the country is still quite solid. It is really not easy to clear them out in one fell swoop."

Speaking of this, Liu Yulinglong rubbed his brows and looked very distressed, but then he smiled and said, "But the more difficult the thing is, the more interesting it is, you are right?"

"That's right, just play with it." Xia Fan laughed, patted Liu Yulinglong's shoulder and said, "You have this heart. As the boss, I must support you and will support you to the end. However, I am busy with military affairs now and I really can't get out of here to help you. However, for your safety, when you go to Yong'an County, I will ask Uncle Qi to accompany you. Later, when 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 Yulinglong was grateful when he heard Xia Fan wanted to send Uncle Seven to him, but he did not thank him. With their friendship, there was no need to thank him.

"After you go back, don't immediately show the chariot and horses to fight Hu Mingzhi head-on. This kind of competition on the surface is different from the battle on the battlefield. If it really reaches the point of being a life-and-death battle, it will only mean that the situation is out of control. If it really reaches this point, it will become unfavorable to us, because the court will inevitably use this as an excuse to intervene in the military and political affairs of the Baocang Province. This is the worst result. As for you to say that you want to kill Hu Mingzhi, it is even more of a choice. Don't do this unless you have to."

Xia Fan thought about the situation in Baocang Province and Yong'an County that he was referring to, and said, "I suggest that you discuss with Jia Yansongduoduo after you go back and listen to his opinions. Although this person is a little slick, he has been in Yong'an County for many years and can be regarded as a local tyrant. He must understand the intricate interests of Yong'an County and even Baocang Province more than you. 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 willing to listen to greetings. Then, then integrate their power and 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 backer first."

"Boss, if you do what you said, it will probably take a lot of time." Liu Yulinglong frowned.

"Just wait, just slow down. There is no need to be anxious at first. Everything is based on stability, gradually penetrate, do not be impatient or impatient, and slowly erode, and finally take the Baocang Province into our hands, and at the same time, it also makes those who do not have the same heart as us helpless." Xia Fan patted Liu Yulinglong's shoulder and said, "This matter is left to you. If anyone is needed, just talk. I will try my best to satisfy you. When the second child comes back, I will ask him to meet and chat with you. If he can get some strength from his father, it will be easier to do this matter."

"Yes." Liu Yulinglong nodded.

After the two of them talked about some details and things that needed attention, Liu Yulinglong turned around and left. Uncle Qi would go with him, and nearly five thousand soldiers were also accompanied.

Although Xia Fan didn't have many soldiers in his hands, he was still quite willing to protect his brothers. He didn't want Zhao Yi's captive to happen again.

"Young Master, I'll leave first." Uncle Qi came over to say goodbye to Xia Fan.

"Uncle Qi, take care of yourself and put your own safety first in everything. If you can't do anything, just take Liu Yulinglong to withdraw. Others..." Xia Fan paused and said, "It doesn't matter, your safety is the most important thing."

"Don't worry, young master, I know what's going on." Uncle Qi nodded and responded.

After sending Liu Yulinglong and Qi Uncle away, Xia Fan also led a hundred thousand troops across the border and entered the Holy Dragon country. The direction of the march was the same as the way he took when he pursued Longtie Mountain before. The first city Xia Fan wanted to take next was the city that Longtie Mountain fled into with the remaining soldiers - Longxu Pass.

There are many cities in the Holy Dragon country named after the dragon, and they are almost scattered throughout the Holy Dragon Kingdom. There is also a saying about this. According to legend, it was the founding king of the Holy Dragon Kingdom that once discovered a dragon vein. If it could be occupied, it would benefit future generations to achieve immortal foundations for generations. However, this dragon vein is different from ordinary dragon veins. It is actually condensed and formed, and has a tendency to take off. In other words, if it cannot be left behind, it may soar into the sky one day and turn into a real dragon.

The founding lord of the Holy Dragon Kingdom naturally did not want the great benefits that he was about to get so he thought about how to keep the dragon vein so as to benefit himself and his descendants. Then he made many arrangements, such as moving the ancestral tomb of his Long family into the dragon vein. At the same time, in order to suppress the dragon vein and prevent it from soaring, he 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 named after dragons in the Holy Dragon Kingdom were formed.

It is impossible to verify whether the legend is true or false, and Xia Fan did not care. He wanted to attack this Dragon Beard Pass not because there might be a part of the dragon veins below it, but because the location of the Dragon Beard Pass is really important.

If you enter Yunhuanhu from the Holy Dragon Kingdom, there are a few roads that can be taken in addition to walking in the Qingcao River, but there is only one that is truly suitable for the army to passively. The Dragon Whisper Pass completely locked the road like a lock. This means that Xia Fan wants to change from passive to active and transfer the battlefield of war to the Holy Dragon Kingdom. This Dragon Whisper Pass must be taken, otherwise the slow march speed of Niu and the unsmooth logistics supply can drive him crazy. Not to mention, not to mention that not being able to take the Dragon Whisper Pass means that there is no unobstructed retreat. If there is a problem in the war and he wants to withdraw his troops but has no way to escape, it will be a huge trouble.

Of course, Xia Fan did not want to lose, but as the commander-in-chief, he strives to be thorough in everything, and it is quite necessary to consider defeat before he wins.

Six or seven hundred miles is not long. Not long after, Xia Fan appeared outside Longwu Pass again with 100,000 soldiers and horses. When the 100,000 soldiers and horses walked around, the dust brought on their feet could rise high, and it would last for more than 20 or 30 miles. Unless the defenders on Longwu Pass were blind, it would be impossible to see them. Therefore, when Xia Fan led his troops, the Dragonwu Pass was already on guard, and all kinds of equipment to guard the city were prepared. At the same time, even the city-defying formation had been opened. You could see rays of light shining from afar, forming a light curtain covering the city wall, which was clearly visible even in the sun.

Long Tieshan had just entered Longxu Pass. Although his power was higher, he was just a guest army and had just suffered a defeat, so he did not take over the defense of Longxu Pass. However, now Xia Fan returned and brought a hundred thousand troops to attack the city. The defender of Longxu Pass couldn't help but feel a little numb. Whether he really wanted to ask Long Tieshan for advice or just asked politely, the guard general came to ask for advice, and Long Tieshan took the opportunity to climb to the top of the city with him. Looking at Xia Fan outside Longxu Pass and the 100,000 troops, his face became quite ugly.

Now Long Tieshan really wants to grab Xia Fan's clothes and shout at the top of his voice to scold him for being too bullied.

As a general who has been through the battlefield for a long time, Long Tieshan knew that Xia Fan had no problem doing this now, and even seized the opportunity very well, almost leaving him with no rest time and could only be exhausted to deal with it. Then the possibility of him breaking the barrier in one fell swoop is quite high.

But even though he understood, as Xia Fan's opponent and the side to be attacked, the more he understood Xia Fan's intentions, the more angry he became. What made him even more angry and helpless was that he had no choice in the face of Xia Fan's actions. At least he did not dare to bring his 20,000 remaining soldiers to fight with Xia Fan, because that would only lead to the destruction of the entire army.

"I dare to ask the general, what should I do now?" The guard of Longxu Pass looked outside and respectfully asked Long Tieshan for advice.

"For the sake of the present, I can only defend and wait for assistance first." Long Tieshan looked at Xia Fan from a distance and said, "Although Longxu Pass is a border, there are quite a few defenders here, with more than 50,000 people, and the 20,000 soldiers I brought also 70,000, but if you want to go out of the pass and fight in the field, you have no chance of winning at all. Being able to defend this Longxu Pass is considered a great achievement. But don't worry, Longxu Pass has a city-proof formation and 70,000 troops. You can completely block the invading enemy outside the pass and persevere until the reinforcements arrive."

"Please extend a helping hand to the general, and I will be grateful to you." The guard said respectfully.

"If necessary, I will not stand by and watch." Long Tieshan said in a deep voice.

At this time, Xia Fan was also standing five miles outside Longxu Pass and looking at the top of the city, while seven or eight formation masters stood beside him, carefully observing the city-sharing formation of Longxu Pass.

These formation masters were not recruited by Xia Fan, but the disciples of the Formation Soul. The leader was called Cheng Guan, who was the fifth disciple of the Formation Soul. He was very respected by him, so he was sent to Xia Fan to listen to it.

Cheng Guan is older than Xia Fan, but his strength is only at the eighth level of the God Transformation Realm, but his attainment in formation is quite good. Before, when the formation elder brought a group of disciples to help Xia Fan arrange the Yunhuanhu formation, Xia Fan specially met these people and had a rough understanding of their level and character in formation. Cheng Guan gave him a very good impression. Therefore, this time Cheng Guan came to the army with the order of the formation elder, and Xia Fan was very happy, and he didn't care much about him bringing his disciples with him.

"Cheng Guan, have you seen something clue? If you are asked to preside over the breaking of the city-shackle formation here, do you have any rules?" Xia Fan looked at Longxuguan and asked casually without looking back.

"If you go back to the master, you can see some tricks. If you break the formation from your subordinates, you will have some ideas. However, if you want to implement it, you have to think about it carefully. At the same time, you have to ask the soldiers and horses under your lord to help you." Cheng Guan first gave a respectful salute, and then answered Xia Fan's question.
