After making all the arrangements, Xu Haifeng and his party left Taixing Mountain and headed for Wulong City.

  As soon as he arrived at Wodragon City, Xu Haifeng summoned his trusted subordinates and issued several orders.

  One of them is quite thought-provoking.

  Xu Haifeng frankly said that during his martial arts training, he suddenly had an epiphany and decided to immediately retreat for a month. During this time, all major and minor matters in Wudang City were handed over to Fang Xiangming, while Jiang Kongming served as Xu Haifeng's full-time representative and assisted him with all his might.

  As soon as the order was issued, the major forces in the city seemed calm on the surface, but secretly they were turbulent and surging, like a tightly pulled violin string that could break at any moment.

  Xu Haifeng had previously stated that when he was away, all matters would be handled by Jiang Kongming.

  But there is a premise, that is when Xu Haifeng is not in Wulong City.

  Now that Xu Haifeng is in Wodragon City and has given all the major powers to Jiang Kongming in such a bright and upright manner, it's not just a matter of trust.

  What changes will take place in the political structure of Wolong City within this month? That is what everyone cares about.

  In the imperial palace, the direction was sounded, Li Guanying and Liu Junshu sneaked into the imperial study without anyone knowing.

  Xu Haifeng had been waiting there for a long time.

  This time's meeting, apart from the four of them, no one else knew. Even Fang Zhi, Tang Qili and Su Chunwei were kept in the dark, completely unaware.

  "All three brothers have arrived." Xǔ Hǎifēng said with a smile.

  The three of them had vastly different expressions, but Fang Rong took big strides forward and gave him a warm hug, no matter what their circumstances were, that frank and open brotherly affection remained unchanged.

  Liu Junshu nodded slightly towards him, but didn't say a word.

  Li Guanying hesitated for a moment and chose to bow deeply. His attitude was the most respectful among the three of them.

  "Liu brother, Li brother, this time I've asked you to come, indeed there is something important to discuss, but it's a confidential matter, so I must ask you to keep your movements hidden, please forgive me."

  He only apologized to Liu Junshu and Li Guanying, but did not mention a word about Fang Xiangming. The two brothers were in a life-and-death relationship, if they still had to be so calculating about this point, it would seem too fake.

  "I don't dare, General. If you have any orders, please give them to me. I, Li Guanying, will definitely not disappoint you if it's within my power." He said, glancing at Liu Junshu who was pretending to be deaf and dumb beside him.

  Both Fang Xiangming and Li Guanying found Liu Junshu's attitude strange.

  With his status and position, it shouldn't be that he would surrender to Xu Haifeng. Because anyone can see that this Master Xu is absolutely not someone who will remain dormant. His ultimate goal might just be the supreme position above all others.

  As a collateral descendant of the imperial family, Liu Junshu should have hated him to the bone, so why would he be willing to serve him wholeheartedly.

  Furthermore, what made Fang's direction even more bewildered was that since Liu Junshu decided to rely on Xu Haifeng, he had always been in this half-dead and half-alive state, towards anyone.

  Even when his two brothers came forward to greet him, he responded with a few lukewarm words and no longer had the warmth of calling each other brothers as they did in the past.

  Direction Ming swept a glance at Liu General's handsome face, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out where he and his people had offended this former imperial prince.

  However, Liu Junshu has now clearly become a key figure in Xu Haifeng's camp.

  He is the only general under Xu Haifeng who can take charge, which is also the main reason why Xu Haifeng handed over the city's defense troops to him.

  Only Xu Haifeng knew the reason behind it, but he wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal it, so let them keep on guessing.

  Xu Haifeng smiled slightly and said: "Big brother, according to the scout's report, the Xiongnu army will arrive in Taiyuan soon."

  "Hmm..."

  As soon as he mentioned the main topic, Ling Feng immediately pulled all his thoughts back.

  Taiyuan.

  Filled with deep-seated hatred, these two words almost spat out from between gritted teeth.

  The moment he hears this term, he has such a reaction, and it's only Li Guanying.

  Having heard these two words filled with a stern and murderous aura, even Liu Junshu couldn't help but turn his head to glance at him twice, which was enough to give him face.

  "It's settled then, once the Xiongnu gather enough troops in Taiyuan, it will be time for them to engage in a battle of life and death with Gao Dan. "Xu Haifeng said affirmatively: "One month, at most just one month."

  "Second brother, who do you think will win?"

  Dongfang Ming finally asked the question that had been weighing most heavily on his mind.

  He shook his head silently and said, "If there is no external force, the Huns have a greater chance of winning."

  The people present were all former generals who had commanded tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield, and they deeply resonated with these words.

  Even Li Guangying, who hated the Xiongnu people to the bone, had to admit that fighting them on flat land was a huge mistake.

  No matter how skilled the Han people are in riding, no matter how familiar they are with archery and horseback riding, they can never surpass the Xiongnu people. Because they are a nation born and raised on horseback. They have been dealing with horses all their lives, and horses have become their second life.

  To contend with them and gain ultimate victory, how to restrict their cavalry power is the true king's way.

  Taiyuan City, one horse gallops across the plain...

  At this thought, several generals' faces didn't look good.

  "Perhaps... Gu Dazhuang has other plans." Fang Ming said softly.

  The Fang family and the Cheng family are absolutely at odds with each other, but this does not affect Duanmu's respect and admiration for Gu Dao.

  As the first great general of the Han Dynasty, he did not believe that Guan Yu would make such a mistake.

  "Does General Xu know?" A cold and stern voice came out of Liu Junshu's mouth.

  He had just spoken a word, but kept a cold eye on the situation. Fang Xiangming and Li Guanying both slightly furrowed their brows, while Xu Haifeng alone looked confident, his heart moved, he asked out loud.

  "Hmm... I didn't know about it, but..."

  Xu Haifeng's expression was still unsatisfied, and it immediately piqued everyone's interest.

  "But what?"

  "Just that..." Xǔ Hǎifēng's gaze swept across their faces, his eyes shining with a bright light: "I just don't want to be an onlooker."

  "What...?!" Direction Ming suddenly lifted his head and exclaimed.

  At the same time, Li Guanying's performance was even more prominent. He suddenly stood up from his chair, clenched his fists, and stared intently at Xu Haifeng with unblinking eyes, as if he feared that he had misheard what he had just heard.

  Xu Haifeng nodded slowly, his voice firm and unwavering: "That's right, little brother just wants to get involved, and doesn't plan on simply standing by and watching."

  Taking a deep breath, Li Guanying's heart was racing wildly.

  For the Xiongnu people, his hatred had reached almost the point of collapse.

  However, he is a man who knows the times, and he knows that if he relies solely on his own temporary bravery, apart from throwing his life away, it would be of no use.

  So all along, he has been suppressing his emotions, just like a dormant snake in winter, waiting for the arrival of spring.

  But he never thought that the opportunity would come so soon.

  In his heart, a low and muffled roar grew louder, his face flashed with a hint of eerie redness, this opportunity, he would rather die than let it slip away.

  "When is second brother planning to set off..."

  After a moment of extreme excitement, he immediately regained his composure.

  He knew that Xu Haifeng had summoned them three at this time alone, which meant that he was already prepared and would not change his mind.

  "At the latest two days later, I will set out from the Taihang Mountains and march southwest along the mountain road, but then openly head to Taiyuan from the territory of the southwestern barbarians."

  "Southwestern Barbarians? This military route..." Direction Ming was quite surprised by Xu Haifeng's choice.

  "Little brother doesn't want them to know of our arrival, if we want to deceive the Xiongnu people, then first and foremost we must deceive our own people." Xu Haifeng said calmly.

  "Is it too late?" Liu Junshu asked with a concentrated expression.

  "If it were an ordinary army, perhaps they wouldn't make it in time. But this army is different, apart from my Black Flag Army, there are only fifty elite special forces troops following us. Their lightness and agility are all above standard, their endurance doesn't even need to be mentioned. If such a team can't make it in time, then I really have nothing to say."

  Upon hearing Xu Haifeng's words filled with confidence and arrogance, the three generals felt even more deeply moved in their hearts.

  The elite troops they commanded were all from the five major legions of the Great Han, and none of them were not the most elite forces of the Great Han. But even they did not dare to boast that they could complete such a forced march in just one month.

  However, apart from Li Guanying who had not seen the true strength of the Black Flag Army and was still harboring doubts, the other two were deeply convinced that those men, as hard as steel, if they didn't have the same crimson blood flowing through their veins, would really think they were devils back from hell.

  "After this departure, Wò Lóng City will not receive the powerful support of the Black Flag Army within two months. What is left in the city are only the city guards and a small number of Black Flag Army infantrymen equipped with heavy armor." Xǔ Hǎi Fēng took a deep breath and said: "I want to ask a favor of my brother."

  Xiang Ming's expression changed, and he suddenly laughed: "Second brother, I understand. Since General Jiang has stayed in Wodragon City, I will naturally follow his lead. Don't worry, little brother, the Red Ocean and the Sky Eagle Army won't be a burden to you."

  Xu Haifeng looked at him deeply and said, "Alright, I'll have to trouble Big Brother then."

  The great army of the Caesarians is about to arrive from the east, and all that the Sleeping Dragon City can do is to delay, every day counts.

  Once Xu Haifeng left, the positions of Jiang Kongming and Fangxiang Ming, these two giants, became crucial. At the time of the great war, what was most feared was that orders were not unified.

  If they are no match for their enemies and still engage in internal strife, then there is no need to wait for the enemy to arrive; they will collapse on their own.

  The words of Jiang Kongming's direction indicate that he will willingly obey his dispatch.

  As he stood before Xu Haifeng and made a promise, it was naturally an unbreakable vow, leaving no room for regret.
