Chapter 648

Very quickly, Zhang Liao led the nineteen thousand Xuanwu Legion and headed toward Taiyuan City in a grand manner.

And regarding the movement of Zhang Liao's army, Li Yuan's scouts, who had been paying attention, also sent the news to Li Yuan in Taiyuan.

After receiving the news, Li Yuan hurriedly summoned his ministers to discuss.

"Everyone, the Han Kingdom's Xuanwu Legion has set out again and is heading toward Xiangguo Commandery. Everyone, share your thoughts. How should we respond?"

Li Yuan, sitting on the throne, asked the ministers below.

At this time, with the help of Fan Qinghui and the others, he had gained great confidence.

"Reporting to my King, in my opinion, Xiangguo Commandery is small and has no danger to defend. It is better to abandon Xiangguo Commandery and recall Xue Wanche and his fifty thousand troops stationed in Xiangguo Commandery back to Taiyuan."

"As long as Sect Leader Fan and the others kill the experts in the Han army, these two hundred thousand Han army soldiers will be nothing to worry about. At that time, we can take over this army composed of two hundred thousand Xiantian warriors."

"And with this army composed of two hundred thousand Xiantian warriors, in the situation where Martial King realm experts and Martial Emperors do not appear, who else can resist our Great Tang!"

As Li Yuan's voice fell, Liu Wenzheng below immediately stepped out and said loudly to Li Yuan.

Hearing Liu Wenzheng's words, Li Yuan and a group of his subordinates all had their eyes shining, filled with a fiery color, as if those two hundred thousand Xuanwu Legion soldiers were already theirs.

"Reporting to Father King, this son seconds the motion!" As the Tang King's heir, Li Jiancheng was the first to step out and echo.

"Father King, this son also agrees with what Minister Liu said. However, just in case, this son is willing to lead the army personally to meet the Han army!"

Seeing Li Jiancheng speak, Li Shimin, who was standing behind him, also immediately stepped out and asked Li Yuan for battle.

"Father King, this son is also willing to lead the army to meet the Han army!" Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Jiancheng also said loudly to Li Yuan.

After speaking, he did not forget to raise his eyebrows and look at Li Shimin.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuan laughed heartily and said to Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng with a smile:

"Hahaha, my sons have such intentions, I am very gratified!"

"However, this matter of charging into battle should be left to the martial generals. I am already very gratified that you have this heart!"

As Li Yuan's voice fell, a middle-aged martial general walked out from among the martial generals below, cupped his fists toward Li Yuan, and said loudly:

"The King is right. The Heir and the Second Young Master are bodies of ten thousand gold. This matter of dealing with the Han army should be left to this subordinate!"

This person was Li Yuan's great general Chai Rong, whose cultivation had reached the Sixth Heaven of the Martial King realm. He was Li Yuan's trusted general.

"Good! Then General Chai Rong, you lead two hundred thousand troops to meet the Han army!" Li Yuan shouted loudly to Chai Rong.

"This subordinate obeys the order!" Chai Rong responded solemnly.

Immediately, for the sake of insurance, Li Yuan said solemnly to the other martial generals:

"Generals, this time I will trouble you to fully cooperate with General Chai Rong. As long as Sect Leader Fan and the others achieve victory, you will cooperate with General Chai Rong to fully take over the Han army!"

Upon hearing this, the martial generals all responded solemnly: "This subordinate obeys the order!"

After arranging the army's affairs, Li Yuan looked at Fan Qinghui and the others and said respectfully:

"Sect Leader Fan, in that case, the Han Kingdom's Martial Emperor realm experts will be left for you to deal with!"

Fan Qinghui heard this, her expression unchanged, and she bowed back to Li Yuan:

"Tang King, rest assured. This time we have nine Martial Emperor realm experts, and Ning Daoqi, Fu Cailin, and Shi Zhixuan—these three—presumably will also arrive soon."

"At that time, we will have twelve Martial Emperor realm experts. No matter how strong the Han Kingdom is, it is impossible for them to be our opponents!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction, unable to contain his joy. He also did not expect to get the help of so many experts this time.

And among them were the six top experts of the current world. With these people helping, why worry about not being able to destroy the Han Kingdom!

Therefore, for this battle, Li Yuan and the others were full of confidence.

……

And Xue Wanche in Xiangguo Commandery, after receiving Li Yuan's royal order, also immediately led the army to retreat.

With Xue Wanche's retreat, Xiangguo Commandery was taken over by Zhang Liao without any effort.

After leaving five thousand troops to garrison, the army marched toward Taiyuan again.

Three days later, the nineteen thousand Xuanwu Legion appeared outside Taiyuan City.

And at this time, Fan Qinghui and the others, having waited for so many days, had not waited for Ning Daoqi and the other three, which gave them a hint of bad premonition in their hearts.

"What do you say is going on with Ning Daoqi and the others? It has been so long. With their strength, they should have arrived long ago. Could it be that some accident has occurred!"

Fan Qinghui, feeling increasingly uneasy inside, said to Xiang Yutian and Bi Xuan.

Hearing Fan Qinghui's words, Venerable Dixin of the Huayan Sect couldn't help but open his eyes and said to Fan Qinghui:

"Amitabha! Sect Leader Fan, you are overthinking. With the cultivation of Fellow Daoist Ning and the other three, who could pose a threat to them? Even if they met Song Que, the three of them could deal with him by joining forces."

"In this poor monk's opinion, the three of them might have been delayed by something on the road!"

Hearing Venerable Dixin's words, Bi Xuan also spoke up:

"Venerable Dixin is right. If there really were an enemy that the three of them joining forces couldn't resist, we would have known long ago."

"You don't want to tell me that besides Song Que, the Han Kingdom has someone who has broken the limits of heaven and earth!"

"If there really were such a person, they would have unified the world long ago. It is impossible for them not to have appeared for so long."

"In that case, if you are really worried, you can send a Martial King to investigate and see what is going on with them!" Xiang Yutian, who was to the side, suddenly spoke up.

At this time, he also felt that something was wrong. After all, the Han Kingdom was a force from beyond the heavens. No one knew what other trump cards they had.

If the other side could help Song Que break through to the Third Heaven of the Martial Emperor realm, then no one could guarantee that they didn't have experts above the Third Heaven of the Martial Emperor realm.

Hearing Xiang Yutian's words, everyone did not object. It was good to have someone go and investigate.

Seeing that everyone did not object, Fan Qinghui said: "In that case, I will send someone to investigate."

After speaking, Fan Qinghui called over an elder of Cihang Jingzhai, Qing Lan, whose strength had also reached the Sixth Heaven of the Martial King realm.

"Qing Lan pays respects to the Sect Leader, and pays respects to all the adults!"

"Sect Leader, are you looking for me?" After Qing Lan met everyone, he came to Fan Qinghui's side respectfully and asked.

"Elder Qing Lan, you secretly go and investigate the situation of Ning Daoqi, Shi Zhixuan, and the other three. Remember to be careful and don't be discovered by the experts in the Han army!"

Fan Qinghui said solemnly to Qing Lan, exhorting him.

"Okay, Sect Leader, this subordinate will go now!"
