Daozu is Cthulhu

Chapter 317
All the way north, Li Fan soon arrived at Bafu.

The word "Bafu" originally refers to the residence of the general and vassal king. In Genzhou, it is a vassal town that is honored as "Bafu".

This city was the military camp specially built for the army of the Northern Expedition. The site of the city was chosen in a basin, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a low and flat middle. Also known as Longhu Lake, the lake flows to the south, and there is another dragon water. The river runs through the middle, dividing the plain into east and west sides.

From the Xuannv Mountains in the northwest, there is also a Lan River, which is irrigated by two waters. Therefore, the basin is extremely fertile, densely populated, and economically developed. It is an ideal place for urban construction. Bafu City was built at the confluence of the two waters.In the north, you can build a stronghold against the mountains, and in the south, you can farm on the spot and raise rations. It can be said that you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.

Back then, Bafu City was able to support the army of the Northern Expedition, and now it is naturally also the base of the army of heavenly soldiers, the Dragon Nest that the Gao family has operated for many years.

The Dragon Nest is really not a nonsense, because the Heavenly Soldiers are indeed raising dragons in Longshan, Longhu, to the north.

When Li Fan arrived at the outskirts of Bafu City, he saw six black dragons and eight red dragons flying across the clouds with their teeth and claws. These monster dragons were similar to the dragons he had herded before, but they were thicker and had hundreds of gold. Fan soldiers in Dan realm can also be guarded and detained.The wind is charged, and the momentum is quite huge.

I remember hearing before that raising dragons is also a unique skill of the Immortal Palace, but Sanyuan’s Hidden Dragon Division has long been involved in a battle to destroy the family. There is a Canglong Peak in Mozhu Mountain that seems to be a lost inheritance. It seems that there are more or less left in Bafu Some legacy.

In addition to herding dragons in the north, farming in the south, Taoist temples in the west, and pagodas in the east, the city is also divided between Huayi and Yi, and soldiers and peasants are separated.All ethnic groups and armies in Bafu City live in separate battalions. Although the conflicts between the various ethnic groups are not so easy to reconcile, at present, it can be seen that it is governed in an orderly manner, and it is not like Dizhou.

It seems that this Celestial Army Jiedu is very happy to be selected by Wangwushan. He is indeed a bit magnanimous and tactful. At least the other feudal towns that Li Fan has been to are very xenophobic. The foreign caravans, no matter what ethnicity, are stationed outside the city. , From time to time, troops will be looted and massacred.

But the Gao family did not oppress the foreign race much, but dared to employ a large number of Hulu mercenaries.The agricultural, commercial, and handicraft industries in the city are not backward. At least they can rely on the workshops left by the Northern Expeditionary Army for production, self-equipment and armed forces. Not only is there no shortage of food and salaries, but even soldiers, armor, bows and arrows can be self-sufficient. Compared with other feudal towns, the potential is naturally huge. It seems that it can really achieve a royal career.

Li Fan wandered around Bafu City for a couple of times. Relying on a foreign language he had just learned, he found some merchants and herdsmen of the Hu nationality, bought some felt clothes, cut off some ponytails, and stuck them on his mouth and head as wigs and beards. , I meet people who claim to be Aruba, a refugee from the Fuli tribe, and ask the herdsmen about things on the grassland, Shanyu Wangting's location, inquire about the information of various ministries on the ice field, and make final preparations for leaving the customs.

That’s right, when you go out of the customs, you will enter the grassland from Bafu, where the Heavenly Soldiers are stationed, to the north. In ten festivals, the five armies of Qingyi, Kelan, Beiping, Jingsai, and Shuofang all have large troops stationed on the border. The guerrilla patrols on the prairie called "South of the Yin Mountain" by the Hulu.

Because the monsoon water from the south and the cold current from the north are blocked by the Yinshan Mountains, a natural rich grassland has been formed in the south of the mountain. At that time, the entire north and south of the Yinshan Mountains were turned into the territory of the Kingdom of Kan by the Immortal Palace. Later, due to the assassination of the Immortal Emperor Infighting, this southern grassland was once occupied by the rising Hulu Shanyu Wangting for a long time, and the Hulu often used it as a bridgehead to invade Gen State in the south.

Later, after Da Sima's three Northern Expeditions, Xiangong regained the vast area of ​​"South of Yinshan Mountain" and expelled all the Hulu tribes to the ice field of "North of Yinshan Mountain".In retrospect, it was probably this time that Xuantian sealed Duke Kan.

For those tribes and clans who are willing to submit to Wang Hua, Sanyuan also allows them to graze horses for the fairy palace in the 'South of the Yin Mountain'.Later, the Gen State rebelled, and the Yuan faction specially armed these Shannan Hus to become cavalry.Now these clans and tribes have become stronger again, and they are attached to Shijiedu's command to work hard. Some of them often rebel and even collude with the tribes of "Yinshanbei" to invade the bandits.

The generals of Jiezhen had different opinions on how to deal with these Shannan Hulu.If you want to kill them all, you will naturally force them all to the opponent's side.But simply recruiting, I am afraid that the other party has ulterior motives and is difficult to rule.

General Tianbing happily claimed to be the successor of the Yuan Clan, and advocated taking the more cooperative Shannan Hu tribe for his own use.His Gao family is powerful, but they can indeed suppress these naturalized small tribes.

And Shuofang General Zhang Ji in the north advocated killing them all. Well, this is a bit extreme, but there is a reason for it. The three armies of Beiping, Jingsai, and Shuofang are directly under the pressure of the Yinshan Shanyu invaders. Who the hell? If you have time to identify whether you are from Shannan, Shanbei, Wanghua's barbarians, which banner or tribe, anyway, it is easiest to kill everyone if you are not from the Central Plains.

Therefore, the biggest resistance to the general Tianbing's happy unification of the ten northern divisions is probably the Shuofang general Zhang Ji.It was this person who presided over the Northern Expedition this time.The two generals were fighting each other, but it was because the territories were not adjacent to each other that they didn't fight.

It's not just the generals on both sides fighting each other, the information obtained from Li Fan and the herdsmen seems to be a little problematic.

He asked a lot of tribesmen of Shannanhu, whether merchants or herdsmen, but no one seemed to find any sign that Zuo Xianwang crossed the Yin Mountain and invaded Nanyuan.No one has heard that there are tribes attached to the north who fled south to escape the disaster.

The southern grassland of Yinshan Mountain is fertile, with flocks of cattle and sheep, and more abundant supplies, but Zuo Xianwang's army is looking far away, making a big circle, bypassing the happy defense area to attack the Hengye army.

Na Wuji also dismissed the army gathered by Shuofang, thinking that the headquarters alone could deal with it easily.At the same time, it is also believed that the other vassal troops will not come to aid in the surprise attack on the Yokono army.

According to various indications, this Northern Expedition is likely to be a major event.The worst possibility is that the Tianbing Army and Xianbei Shanyu reached some kind of agreement, signed an armistice agreement or something, and joined forces to deal with the common enemy Shuofang Army.

Even if Happiness doesn't directly team up with Shan Yu, but if he fails to play on the ice field and cheats his teammates, probably no one will be able to get hold of him.

Anyway, based on Li Fan's understanding of these princes and generals in the fairy palace, he is not surprised at all by any strange actions made by these ambitious heroes.

Since I didn't look forward to it from the beginning, I can't say that there is anything psychologically unacceptable.

And in a sense, Li Fan didn't bother to interfere with Gao's affairs.One is that this kind of branch line is too troublesome, smelly and long, and he himself does not do it as an emperor who has left the country, so he has no interest in managing the messy affairs of Gen country.

Secondly, Li Fan has to admit that the Twelve Kingdoms system designed by the Immortal Palace does have a mysterious and mysterious positive effect on protecting peace.The personal moral ability of a small group of princes, generals, ministers is actually not important, what is important is the stability of the entire order.

If the Gao family can re-establish the Gen Kingdom, end the feudal strife and feudal strife, restore gods and suppress demons, and compile fairy books, the spirit of the mountains and rivers will return to the right path.The door of death and life, which harmed countless people, could not be formed.Huang Tian's Death Gate, Hei Lian, and other cult members can be caught and brought to justice with just a few arrests, and hundreds of thousands of refugees and bandits will not be born, and there will be no non-material Dao ancestors born.

But since it is already a troubled time, although the Gao family has a chance, it probably won't go so smoothly.

Right now, Li Fan is making his own preparations, mainly learning to imitate the customs and habits of the Hulu tribesmen, and preparing for the plan to sneak into the tribe and eat other people's patron saints.Now the problem of language appearance and customs can be solved by studying hard.What's more troublesome is that his cultivation base is too high, it's already hard to hide.

Although through the Tianyi Zhenqi, the Zhenqi overflowing from the body was transformed into a fairy clothes to protect the body, and layers of leather jackets were added, now the head is no longer flashing like a neon light, and it is no different from an ordinary barbarian to the naked eye.

But if you use the technique of watching Qi from the Taoist sect, you can still see the top of Li Fan Shenting's skull, with the Dao breath of the Nascent Soul series, piercing the sky and dust, straight to the sky.

Daoist Yuan Ying is rare to see, not to mention Li Fan rushed over to nest with the herdsmen as soon as he arrived at Bafu, squatting for a whole day. The Daoist Nascent Soul from outside refused to leave after staying for a whole day. That night, a general with hundreds of elite soldiers took the initiative to invite him.

"A certain Duan Tie, the commander of the Heavenly Soldiers Army, Wuwei, and Guards. I don't know what your name is. What advice do you have when you come to the Heavenly Soldiers Ba's Mansion?"

Duan Tie looks majestic, not angry and majestic, and he is actually a Nascent Soul Martial God!
Wow, there are only two warriors in Liguo, and one is a eunuch, okay?This day's soldiers are really full of talents!

Li Fan also wanted to try to disguise the results, so he pretended to be weird and angry on purpose, "Wo! Fuli! Aruba! Shaman! Find Anda! Bojin! Have you picked up the mud!"

Then he pulled the collar to reveal the two-headed wolf on his chest, well, he painted it with oil paint himself...

"Northern Hu Fuli's family..." Duan Tie's eyes flashed, and he clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency has a high level of cultivation, very good! My Duke Ming has always had great ambitions! He is recruiting heroes from all over the world! Why don't you come to the mansion to tell us..."

Li Fan waved his hand, "Don't say anything! I'm hungry! I want to eat meat! Now go out and hunt some dragons to eat! Let's go!"

Duan Tie, "This is easy to handle! It just so happens that General E's mansion is hosting a banquet today, so I'll kill one now. If you have spare time, you might as well come to the mansion to enjoy it!"

oops?So generous?Really kill a dragon to eat?Be good, is the Gao family so generous...

"Okay! Let's go! Let's talk!"

Li Fan really wanted to taste the taste of dragon meat, so he swaggered and followed Duan Tie to the Tianbing General's Mansion. After passing through the barrier and entering the heavily guarded General's Mansion, Li Fan immediately felt the pressure.

I can't feel it outside the barrier, but there are many strange people gathered in this mansion. In addition to the vassal army of the Tianbing Army, there are also various casual cultivators, monks, and shamans. There are hundreds of people in the Jindan realm alone. There are also dozens of real people in the Nascent Soul Realm. Although the strength varies, most of them are rubbish, but the support of Wang Wushan is not enough, and so many monks are recruited to be minions. The financial resources and ambitions of the Gao family are indeed extraordinary. .

"Your Majesty, please follow me!"

Duan Tie is also experienced, knowing that Li Fan's level is no better than ordinary real people, so he must not neglect it.Invite him directly to the innermost courtyard, where there are eight Nascent Soul cultivators seated on each side, waiting to start their seats.

Li Fan felt it for a while, and then scanned it with the corner of his eyes. Seeing these tall, short, fat, thin, and strange-shaped people, he knew that they were all monsters and ghosts, evil ways.To be able to live in the Taoist world to this day, he is probably not an ordinary person, but obviously a casual cultivator enshrined by the Gao family.

As for the host in the upper seat, there is a nobleman from a foreign alchemy fake Nascent Soul Realm. This person is 27 or [-] years old. Although his strength is not high, he is handsome and beautiful, with a calm and elegant demeanor. He chatted and laughed with the Nascent Soul masters around him. , jokes and jokes, like relatives and friends, with extraordinary demeanor in every gesture, and the priests around him don't despise him because he is a descendant of a family. For the sake of politeness, it seems to be sincerely convincing, maybe not just checking in with salary.

Li Fan guessed the identity of this person a little bit, and Duan Tie also introduced it as expected.

"Meet your son, this is Aruba, the brave man of the Fuli Clan. I heard that there will be a Quanlong Banquet today, so I am here to attend."

"Oh? It's actually a warrior from the Yin Mountains? It's really unfathomable!" The son's eyes lit up, and he stood up to greet him, cupping his fists in salute, "I'm Gaoming, the leader of Bohai County, my father's generals conquered outside the Great Wall. Hou Dai led the general of the Ba Mansion's marching army, and the army of the Heavenly Soldiers in Jiezhen."

Gao Ming, this is the happy eldest son who sent Jianwan to the eldest son who was engaged to Gu Panpan.The Marquis of Bohai County, is he still the noble given by Sanyuan?That is the eldest son, the number one heir of the Heavenly Soldiers Army?

Although this person's strength is not very good, and he belongs to the category of Kaba, but the leader of the camp is still more important in terms of strength and resourcefulness. Wai Dan can secure the position of heir, and he almost became Wang Wushan's son-in-law. It seems that it is not easy. Seniors.

Li Fan's thoughts changed, and he wanted to try the opponent's city, so he deliberately ignored him, turned to look at Duan Tie, "Dragon meat!"

"Hmph! Beilu!"

"Brutal and rude!"

"It's not polite to see the prince!"

"The Fu Li family is just a small branch of the North Pole. If you have any skills, come and share a piece of the dragon's soup!"

Before Duan Tie could speak, there were four or five people in the field glaring at Li Fan with dissatisfaction.It's a pity that their spiritual consciousness is too weak, and the hairs on Li Fan's neck are too lazy to respond.

That Gao Ming chuckled, and while sitting down, he waved his hand and said, "Xiaohou is holding a dragon banquet this time, and the guests are heroes from Hebei. As long as they are willing to sit down, they will naturally be Xiaohou's friends, and there will be a place for them. Your honor please sit."

Although he said please sit down, no one came to add a seat, and the eight of them were all sneering, obviously wanting to see if Li Fan had the ability to take a seat.

How difficult is this?

Li Fan glared at him, and jumped at Gao Ming's seat!
"Bastard!" "How dare you!"

At that time, two people got up and rushed forward in the field, trying to block Li Fan's way and protect the safety of the prince.

And that Gao Ming didn't move at all, showing no sign of being afraid to dodge.

It's not that he didn't react, or that he was already in a daze, but that Li Fan deliberately tested this person's courage, and deliberately didn't use any escapism and body skills. He didn't expect that the other party did have such a little courage. Not too small, not counting an embroidered pillow.

So Li Fan stopped in the middle of his lunge, turned his head and punched, dodged the knife gang that was cut on the face, knocked Duan Tie into the air with one punch, then turned sideways, kicked his chest and abdomen, and kicked the two guardians who rushed forward. Fly.

Then he jumped sideways and moved sideways, regardless of whether the other six people moved or not. In short, no one fell behind with this punch and that kick. They hid these in the dark and made formulas, and the curse was not finished in time. Forced, they were all pulled out from the banquet and knocked unconscious with a punch.Stacked into a pile, everything was settled in the blink of an eye, and there was not even a single enemy.

In short, it's the kind of situation where I didn't exert much force, and you have already fallen down.

Well, it seems that Li Fan is very powerful now, but in fact he is so powerful cough cough.

The three who took the lead were all melee guardians.And the other ones who are sitting still have first-class warlocks and mages, the kind that can pull their heads off with a click.

The cultivation skills of these people may not be that bad. In the rush just now, several people still reacted, threw three talismans, cast four curses, and all kinds of messy spells, poisonous smoke illusions and so on. , but it was all resisted by Li Fan's "unfavorable life".

And when they came to the banquet, they probably didn't bring magic weapons with them. Maybe they were still concerned about the safety of the prince at such a short distance, and they didn't dare to use any spells of mass destruction, and no one would escape and run away. That's how it ended.

But it doesn't matter even if you use your real skills, there is probably something like an enchantment array arranged in this yard, which activated Li Fan's "Shang Li".If he doesn't spare any effort, I'm afraid the scene will become very bloody...

On the contrary, Duan Tie was worthy of being a martial god, he could still get up after being punched, and now he rushed in with seven or eight soldiers and tried his best.

Gao Ming laughed and applauded.

"The warriors of Yinshan Mountain are really powerful! Please take your seat! Come! Put out the whole dragon banquet! Treat the athletes of the Northland! What are you doing! Take away all the knives! Let the distinguished guests see the joke!"

So all the vassal soldiers immediately withdrew their knives and withdrew, leaving only Duan Tie alone. He knelt down on one knee and bowed to the prince, and then, clutching his broken ribs, asked Li Fan to sit down, and stayed in Li Fan without saying a word. By his side, he covered the prince with his body and waited on him.

Well, the Heavenly Soldiers are really not to be underestimated... This dragon meat is not bad, it smells so good...
