Chapter 591: Expedition to the Sui-Tang World

Moreover, to guarantee absolute safety, the Emperor has decided to send Ao Huang to go with the army.

Upon hearing this, Lü Bu was instantly overjoyed; Ao Huang, the Zhenguo Divine Beast of the Han Empire, is in fact a true Dragon Race, and its power is incomparably great.

His cultivation has already broken through to the Martial Emperor First Heaven, and with Ao Huang's assistance this time, he will not fear the Martial Emperor Realm strongmen of the Sui-Tang World.

"The subordinate thanks Your Majesty; with Lord Ao Huang's assistance, the subordinate will surely be able to quickly establish a foothold in the Sui-Tang World!"

"Moreover, this time the Emperor also intends to dispatch ten Martial King Realm tributes from the Tribute Hall to accompany you."

Upon hearing this, Lü Bu again bowed and thanked Liu Bian.

"Feng Xiao, this time you should also go with the army; I am not at ease if Feng Xian goes alone, and with you by his side I will not fear he will be plotted against."

After the deployment of the expeditionary army was arranged, Liu Bian turned to Guo Jia with a solemn expression and said.

"I, your humble servant, obey the decree!"

Guo Jia, hearing this, stepped forward and respectfully replied to Liu Bian.

"Then the expedition is settled; Zhicai, your Ministry of Revenue, prepare the Grain and Fodder and cultivation resources needed by the Army."

"Gongda, your Ministry of Works must also distribute the newly crafted siege equipment, weapons and equipment to the Shenwu Legion."

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Xi Zhong and Xun You instantly responded respectfully:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty; my Ministry of Revenue has long prepared for the Million-Strong Legion, the Grain and Fodder and cultivation resources needed for a year."

"My Ministry of Works has also long prepared the weapons and equipment for the Million-Strong Legion."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction; this person truly lives up to being a top talent of the age, able to arrange virtually everything in advance.

Immediately, Liu Bian turned to the officials and said with authority:

"Except for those departing on this expedition, everyone else should be ready to support Feng Xian and his companions at any time."

"The more they alter the original trajectory of the Sui-Tang World, the more strongmen and armies the Han Empire can cross‑realm support."

The officials, hearing this, were all shaken, their expressions solemn as they shouted in unison:

"We obey the decree!"

"Very well, the Emperor announces: five days later, the Army will cross‑realm from the Shenwu Legion's main camp for the expedition!"

Seeing that everything was arranged, Liu Bian waved his hand grandly, emitting a majestic Imperial Aura, and loudly addressed the officials:

Seeing this scene, the officials stared at Liu Bian with fiery eyes and responded in unison:

"We obey the decree!"

"Dismiss the court!"

……

Soon, the Five Days passed in an instant.

During these five days, the entire Han Empire set into motion, and everything for the expedition had already been prepared.

And Lü Bu, within these five days, selected two hundred thousand elite soldiers, all of whom possessed Innate Realm cultivation.

Moreover, for this expedition to the Sui-Tang World, Lü Bu even took all the Grand Generals of the Shenwu Legion, leaving only Cao Xing to lead the remaining three hundred thousand.

At this moment, outside Luoyang City, within the Shenwu Army's main camp.

The two hundred thousand Shenwu soldiers had already gathered on the drill ground, and before them stood Lü Bu, Guo Jia, Gao Shun and others.

On their side were also ten tributes from the Tribute Hall: Zhang Sanfeng, Huang Yaoshi, Guo Jing and others.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

The crowd did not wait long before Liu Bian's figure appeared on the drill ground; behind him followed Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Li Liangcheng, and hundreds of Huben Army soldiers.

Seeing Liu Bian appear, the Shenwu soldiers lined up on both sides, clearing a path to the Point General Platform for him.

"The Shenwu army salutes Your Majesty, wishing Your Majesty boundless longevity!"

As Liu Bian stepped toward the Point General Platform, everyone knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.

Liu Bian, clad in Emperor Armor and bearing the Emperor Sword at his waist, strode onto the Point General Platform.

Turning to look at the two hundred thousand Shenwu soldiers below, Liu Bian's majestic voice rang out.

"All esteemed ministers, stand at ease; all soldiers, stand at ease!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two hundred thousand Shenwu soldiers let out a unified shout, rose, stood upright, and looked at Liu Bian with profound reverence.

"I presume you all understand the reason for my appearance today!"

"I hope you will soon pacify the Sui-Tang World and raise the Great Han's Heavenly Might!"

"I, in the Main World, await your triumphant return, and I hope you will fight bravely and not let the Han Empire's glory fall!"

As Liu Bian's solemn words fell, everyone stared at him with fervent eyes and roared loudly:

"Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories!"

"Great Han's Heavenly Might! Sweep away all foes!"

The roar of the two hundred thousand Shenwu soldiers echoed throughout the camp, their soaring battle spirit piercing the heavens.

"With such an army, as long as the Han Empire is given some time, it will surely stand atop the summit of ten thousand realms!"

At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng, standing below, saw the united, high‑spirited Shenwu soldiers and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"Fortunately, I once chose to submit to the Han, and following a sovereign like Your Majesty, perhaps in this life I may glimpse the pinnacle of the Martial Dao!"

Even the others from the Tribute Hall were infected by the army's momentum, their eyes blazing as they looked at Liu Bian and roared together with the army.

They had not felt such a blood‑pumping excitement for a long time.

"System, activate the Sui-Tang World Space Gate."

Observing everyone's reactions, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction and said to the system inwardly:

"Ding—using the Space Gate for the host in the Sui-Tang World!"

As the system's prompt sound faded, a mysterious portal materialized out of thin air.

Immediately after, this mysterious portal began to expand, and in no time at all, it had become a massive gateway ten zhang wide and twenty zhang high.

Seeing that the Space Gate had opened, Liu Bian also released Ao Huang.

After Ao Huang appeared, Liu Bian looked at him with a grave expression and instructed:

"Ao Huang, this time you will take the lead. After crossing the boundary, you must ensure the safety of the Army."

This was the first time using the Space Gate, and the location of arrival was random; he had no idea which place lay on the other side of the Space Gate.

If, by any chance, they ended up inside some powerful sect, that would be disastrous.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty. I'll go over and take a look first!"

Upon hearing Liu Bian's words, Ao Huang said this to Liu Bian, then turned and entered the Space Gate.

Before long, a Dragon Cry rang out, and Ao Huang's voice appeared once more.

Seeing Ao Huang reappear, Liu Bian quickly asked:

"What place is on the other side? Is it safe?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, on the other side of the Space Gate is a small island. No Martial Emperor Realm experts have appeared on this island."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Liu Bian said loudly:

"In that case, Fengxian, arrange for the Army to cross the boundary!"

"Your subordinate receives the order!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Bu cupped his hands toward Liu Bian and replied in a loud voice.

Thereupon, Lü Bu began to arrange for the Army to cross the boundary.

Meanwhile, Liu Bian also said to Ao Huang and the various Tribute:

"Ao Huang, Zhang Sanfeng, the two of you lead the group of Tribute and cross the boundary first."
