Junior Uncle is too cunning.

If Chen Fusheng hadn't persuaded Guangchengzi and Randeng Daoren to prioritize the overall situation, the two sides would probably have already started fighting.

Guang Chengzi slowly opened his eyes after hearing Chen Fusheng's words. He glanced at Xuan Yuanming opposite him, snorted coldly, looked at Jiang Ziya, and nodded lightly. As for Randeng Daoren, he did not react, and it was unknown whether he agreed or not.

Jiang Ziya breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Guang Chengzi nod. He exchanged a glance with Huang Feihu and said, "Then let me first tell you about the general strength of the Northern Marquisate!"

Their current army numbers approximately 300,000, with about 30,000 immortals. More than half of them are immortals below the Golden Immortal level, with several dozen at the Golden Immortal level and one at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

"This is the enemy's defensive line, and our biggest challenge now is that we cannot break through their defenses," Jiang Ziya said, and then used his magic to draw out the entire troop deployment of the Northern Marquisate.

He then drew several circles near the Northern Marquisate and continued, “These are the other vassal states in the north, most of which are vassals of the Northern Marquisate. Although there was no open rebellion this time, they have been secretly supporting the Northern Marquisate recently, and their attitude has shifted a lot towards the Northern Marquisate.”

If we fail to conquer the Northern Marquisate again, there is a high chance that these other vassal states will completely side with the Northern Marquisate.

Chen Fusheng frowned as he looked at the map of the territory drawn by Jiang Ziya, and asked directly, "Tell me about that Great Luo Golden Immortal first! Do you have any information about him?"

With his insight, how could he not see that the reason why the army that was suppressing the rebellion could not break through the Northern Marquisate was entirely because of this Great Immortal of the Northern Marquisate? As the saying goes, to catch the thief, first catch the king. As long as this Great Immortal is captured, the Northern Marquisate will collapse without a fight, and the current stalemate in the north will be resolved.

Although he asked about Jiang Ziya and Huang Feihu, Chen Fusheng was actually looking at Xuan Yuanming and Yin Laozu, the two Grand Luo Golden Immortals. After all, they had fought against this Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and Xuan Yuanming was the ancestor of two imperial courts. They might actually know this unfamiliar Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Xuan Yuanming looked at Chen Fusheng and his expression changed slightly. He seemed a little ashamed. Normally, with his cultivation at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he alone should be able to deal with a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. Now, with the addition of Yin Laozu, a Great Luo Golden Immortal in martial arts, they had fought several times but still failed to defeat him.

Although Chen Fusheng didn't say anything, the disdainful looks from Guang Chengzi and Randeng Daoren made him secretly angry. However, he really couldn't defend himself on this matter. After all, if he said that the other party was too powerful, it would be tantamount to admitting that he and Yin Laozu, both Great Luo Golden Immortals, couldn't defeat a Great Luo Golden Immortal with a lower cultivation level than him. If he said it was an accident, then it was an accident, two accidents. They had fought more than once. Even he couldn't bring himself to say such a thing.

So, faced with the gazes of Guang Chengzi and Randeng Daoren, he could only hold back. As for Chen Fusheng's question, he didn't want to explain further, because he himself didn't know who this Great Luo Golden Immortal was.

Despite being the patriarch of two consecutive imperial courts, his daily role was mainly to suppress the capital. He rarely went out and had only met each emperor once or twice. As for Marquis Chong, Bai Gui, the first Marquis of the North who followed the Great Shang Dynasty to establish the country, he had never actually met him.

If Chonghou Baigui were a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he might know him. However, when the Great Shang Dynasty was founded, Chonghou Baigui was only a Golden Immortal. Moreover, because of his immense power, the Great Shang Dynasty was abandoned to the desolate north by its founding emperor, Tang. As a result, Xuanyuan Ming had never heard of Chonghou Baigui, let alone seen what he looked like.

Afterwards, the Marquis of Beibo suffered a blow to his strength and chose to fake his death overseas. Later, he had an opportunity to successfully break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Although he returned to Nanzhanbuzhou, he chose to go into seclusion and cultivate quietly in the north because of the power of the Shang Dynasty. Not to mention Xuanyuan Ming, this old otaku, even in the entire Nanzhanbuzhou, probably not many people know him.

Although Xuanyuan Ming did not know him, Yin Laozu did know Chonghou Baigui. As a eunuch who served in the Shang Dynasty court, Yin Laozu would definitely know Chonghou Baigui, and his influence was quite profound. After all, when Shang Tang was dealing with the four major vassal states of the time, his close attendant must have known about it, and he also offered many suggestions.

"I do know him. His name is Chonghou Baigui. He was the first Northern Marquis of the Great Shang Dynasty. When the country was founded, he was assigned to what is now the north. However, he died in battle against foreign barbarians. I didn't expect him to still be alive, and even break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

Hearing Yin Laozu's words, Chen Fusheng and the others glanced at him. Everyone present had lived for thousands of years, so how could they not understand the hidden meaning? He must have been too powerful and threatened the master, and was eventually exiled to the frontier. They did not expect that this Marquis Chong, Bai Gui, was also quite powerful and had great fortune. He had actually secretly broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. It seemed that there was no way to persuade him to surrender!

Despite the strange looks from the crowd, Yin Laozu remained unmoved. As a close attendant of Emperor Taizu Shang Tang, he believed that the matter was justified, although it was somewhat cruel to the four feudal lords. After all, they had risked their lives and were not only denied the rewards they deserved, but were instead exiled. How could they not be angry?

To ruin someone's future is like killing their parents; such hatred is immense. Moreover, because of this incident, not only did the Chonghou clan suffer heavy casualties, but Chonghou Baigui was also seriously injured and forced to flee overseas. If it weren't for Chonghou Baigui's good fortune, the Northern Marquisate would probably not be what it is today.

However, for the Shang Dynasty's imperial court at that time, the four major vassal states posed a great danger. Moreover, the world had just been unified. If these vassal states were not suppressed and their power continued to expand, a major war would be inevitable once their ambitions were unleashed. Although it was impossible to predict who would win or lose, the innocent civilians would certainly suffer the most casualties.

Moreover, at that time, the Shang Dynasty's imperial court was also threatened by foreign barbarians from all sides. If the Shang Dynasty's imperial court and the vassal states were to fight each other, it would definitely benefit the foreign barbarians. However, relocating the four vassal states to the frontier would not only weaken their strength and prevent a civil war from breaking out, but also make them a solid defensive line. It was a win-win situation, sacrificing one family for the peace of the world. Ancestor Yin believed that Emperor Taizu Shang Tang was right!

Chen Fusheng and the others only thought about it for a moment before continuing their investigation. After all, the events of that year had long since passed away with the death of Emperor Taizu of Shang, and besides, they had no business with such trivial matters. Their purpose in coming here was simply to help Jiang Ziya defeat the Marquis of the North. As for the rest, they didn't want to bother with it and were too lazy to care.

While Chen Fusheng and others were discussing how to deal with the Northern Marquisate, Chonghou Baigui and Chonghou Hu were also discussing how to deal with the pacification army brought by Huang Feihu and Jiang Ziya of the Great Shang Dynasty. Although they seemed to be holding their own and fighting fiercely, Chonghou Baigui knew that this was just the beginning. The Northern Marquisate had been able to fight this far because it had used all its strength from the start, while the pacification army sent by the Great Shang Dynasty was less than one percent of the Great Shang Dynasty's strength... no, it should be one-thousandth. Once Jiang Ziya and others asked for help and the Great Shang Dynasty sent troops again, the Northern Marquisate's defeat was only a matter of time.
