Now that he had obtained Fang Duan's promise, the huge stone hanging over Xu Haifeng's head finally fell down.

  In Wò Lóng City, Fāng Xiǎng Bì was also one of the city masters who stood on an equal footing with him.

  Wolongcheng is something they both use.

  Jiang Kungming is just a strategist under Hui Ye's command after all.

  If Fang Xingyu is unwilling to accept his command, it's also a matter of course.

  Actually, in his heart, Xiang Ming was not willing to give up the power in his hands. He also deeply knew that as long as he agreed, it would be equivalent to letting Jiang Gongming take control of all the military and political powers of Wulong City with a clear conscience.

  In other words, as long as he is willing, he can completely use the Red Ocean as cannon fodder.

  However, since Xu Haifeng has spoken up, he should have agreed to it immediately. Because the one he trusted was not Jiang Kongming, but Xu Haifeng, his sworn brother who shared life and death with him.

  In addition, the current Jiang Kongming is extraordinary in momentum. After the big victory over Bancroft, his reputation has been pushed to a new height.

  In Wulong City, in the Western Camp, within the borders of Great Han, wherever news spread. Jiang Kungming's reputation was absolutely second to none.

  Even Guan Yu, the greatest general of the Han Dynasty, has been compared to him.

  Who will be appointed as the commander-in-chief of Wulong City, actually had a hint at the time of the great victory of the Black Flag Army.

  "Big brother, this time you're really having a tough time."

  "It's all said and done, we're family brothers, why be so polite? " Xiang Ming smiled and said: "Besides, General Jiang indeed has this ability."

  As for Jiang Gongming, regardless of his character, but if we talk about strategic planning and anticipating the enemy's moves, he is indeed unmatched.

  If they knew that Chiang Kung-ming's ability to predict things like a god was more than half due to the several super spies in the Black Flag Army who were comparable to the level of the founder, I wonder what they would think.

  Xu Haifeng's gaze shifted onto Li Guanying, he lightly clasped his fists and said: "Brother Li..."

  "General Xu, although I am not a great warrior, I am not willing to be left behind. I wish to follow you to Taiyuan." Li Guanying's face was solemn, he tried his best to maintain his stable emotions, but in his heart, there seemed to be a surge of evil fire rushing straight up to his forehead.

  Xu Haifeng has invited the three of them here alone and will discuss this matter openly with them, there must be a reason for it.

  However, Li Guanying's heart was still anxious because he didn't know what role Xu Haifeng would assign to him.

  Is he marching with the army or following the direction of the solid guard of Wudang City.

  According to his intention, he had to go to Taiyuan no matter what. There, it was the place where Li Guanying would take revenge.

  Xu Haifeng furrowed his brow, looking embarrassed and hesitant, saying: "This..."

  Li Guanying suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his palms were sweating with excitement at this moment.

  "General Xu, although I, the last general, have no personal power, Taiyuan still has the 50,000 old troops of the Canglang Army. If I go, I may be able to persuade Deputy Commander Wang..."

  His voice trailed off at this point.

  It's just his intention, but everyone in the room knows.

  Since arriving at Wudang City, his every waking thought was of killing enemies and avenging himself.

  For this purpose, he can give up everything.

  In Wolong City, he could only rely on two major forces.

  One is the direction of the red ocean, but the current red ocean is at its historical low. After the battle in Beijiang, there were less than 40,000 survivors, and it's unrealistic to expect them to take revenge.

  Another force is Xu Haifeng's Black Flag Army. Although the name of this army has long been thunderous, it has not been seen with its own eyes, so it is hesitant to make a move. However, with the invasion of the Caesarians, the Black Flag Army counterattacked the enemy with lightning speed.

  This battle made him certain of one thing: this mysterious unit might be able to help him achieve his own desires.

  Xu Haifeng has a different heart, what's wrong with that? Even the direction of the horn is gradually changing.

  Xu Haifeng stared at him with his eyes for a long time, and then said: "Since Brother Li is determined to go forward, then I'd rather obey orders than show respect."

  Li Guanying let out a long sigh, and the breath he had been holding back finally got a chance to breathe.

  "Thank you, General." Li Guanying's breathing became slightly smoother, but his words still had a suppressed excitement, and his voice was slightly trembling.

  Xu Haifeng smiled at him and said, "Brother Li is being polite."

  Liu Junshu gently closed his eyes, Li Guanying's performance was seen by him, and he only felt a sense of sadness, the Liu clan's imperial aura had truly come to an end.

  Xu Haifeng's gaze swept past Fang Xiangming and Li Guanying, his eyes fixed on this former imperial court dignitary.

  "Brother Liu..."

  "What does the General have to command?" Liu Junshu responded lightly.

  "Liu brother is young, but he is the deputy commander of the Huanglong Army, leading a battalion alone. In the Battle of Taiyuan, if Liu Zhengmin, the commander, had an accident and unfortunately died for the country, can you take over the Huanglong Army?" Xu Haifeng suddenly asked this thrilling question.

  Liu Junshu's face changed dramatically, as if an illusion, Xu Haifeng's voice suddenly became loud and clear, ringing in his ears like thunder.

  Liu Zhengyun was physically strong and robust. Although he was in the second army fighting, unless they were defeated, how could anything unexpected happen?

  Could it be that Hai Feng's intention was actually...

  Liu Junshu's expression was extremely complex, and unintentionally, his gaze swept towards Fang and Li.

  The two of them were staring intently at themselves.

  Liu Junshu's heart suddenly surged with a burst of enlightenment.

  This sentence, Xu Haifeng had been planning for a long time.

  Xu Haifeng was at a point where he had to make his final decision.

  At the same time, Xu Haifeng's heart was also not calm.

  It's been two years, and in these two years, he has been fully developing his own power in Wulong City, and now it is quite effective. Under his command, even if the Black Flag Army is not counted, there are at least 40,000 elite soldiers.

  But after all, he is still shallow in foundation, and cannot compare to the four major families that have been renowned for hundreds of years, let alone the five major legions with their robust reserve capacity.

  Although his officers had all passed military academy exams, this was far from enough.

  He lacked a senior commander who could make a decisive blow at critical moments.

  It is often said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but those who have never been on the battlefield can never imagine the various changes that occur on the battlefield.

  Even the most prestigious military academies cannot produce a legendary general who can achieve greatness overnight.

  Even if it were Jiang Gongming, that solitary and self-satisfied, talented and arrogant Jiang Da Junshi. When he first commanded the Black Flag Army on the vast grasslands to battle against the army of Ze Duo, when he first commanded tens of thousands of troops to confront the Caesars head-on for the first time.

  He also couldn't sleep at night, and he would meticulously discuss every detail and possibility with Xu Haifeng, as well as various countermeasures.

  When he received intelligence transmitted by the monkey child before giving the order to attack, he would also jump for joy with excitement.

  It's just that such behavior, which was inconsistent with his identity as General Chiang's military advisor, had never been known to anyone.

  In front of outsiders, he has always been a calm and composed Jiang Da Jun Shi, with a confident air about him.

  The Black Flag Army is one that doesn't need famous generals, or rather, there are no famous generals who can command this extremely ferocious and cold-blooded unit.

  But the city guards are different, they need an experienced commander to lead them to a higher level.

  Just as Xu Haifeng was worried about it, Liu Junshu arrived.

  His arrival was like a timely rain, relieving Xu Haifeng's urgent need.

  However, as time went by, Liu Jun's attitude, which could be described as arrogant, became increasingly glaring and jarring.

  When other generals were all respectful and obedient to Xu Haifeng, not daring to breathe a word in front of him, Liu Junshu's behavior was so unusual that it was undoubtedly a veiled challenge to the power in Xu Haifeng's hands.

  No monarch can tolerate such behavior from his subjects. Although Xu Haifeng is not so narrow-minded, he also has his own considerations. If everyone follows this example, it will bring great trouble to his current and future rule.

  So at this time of departure, he wanted to make a clean break with Liu Junshu.

  Either wholeheartedly pledge loyalty to him, or leave Wudang Castle and the sphere of influence of Xu Haifeng.

  Four seemingly substantial gazes wandered on Liu Junshu's face, as if they wanted to see through his soul directly.

  Liu Jun's face was expressionless in writing, but his slightly closed eyes and trembling body showed his excited mood at this time.

  The seniors' kind teachings, the colleagues' mutual support, the intrigue and struggle on the official career path, as well as the former emperor's appearance and demeanor, all flashed through his mind one by one.

  He suddenly looked up and was about to sternly refuse with righteous indignation.

  However, his eyes met with Xu Haifeng as he looked up.

  There, he saw a glimmer of expectation, which gave him a sense of familiarity.

  Liu Ting - In his mind, the figure of that stunning beauty suddenly appeared. Just yesterday, he had entered the palace to meet her, and when they parted ways, he noticed that in Liu Ting's eyes, there was also a hint of expectation.

  "Big brother, take care on your way, don't forget to come visit little sister..."

  Those two moving eyes instantly occupied his mind, and everything else was thrown behind him, leaving only those hopeful eyes.

  "With your order, how dare I not follow?" He bowed deeply, this was the first time Liu Junshu had addressed Xu Haifeng as "master".

  Liu Junshu's voice had a hint of trembling, but his tone was unyieldingly firm.

  Fang Ming's body shook slightly, and after Li Guanying, Liu Junshu finally made a choice.

  What if... what if Xu Haifeng's Black Flag Army really achieved ultimate victory in Taiyuan?

  So what choice should he and his family make?
