Chapter 543 Azure-Clad Tianxuan Welcomes Xuantian
"Yes, Father. I, Shimin, will certainly live up to your expectations and make Zhu Yuanzhang know the might of our Great Xuan Dynasty!"
Li Shimin bowed and accepted the order, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
"Xiuning, you will be in charge of intelligence gathering. You must keep track of the Yellow Turban Army's every move and provide accurate intelligence support for our operations."
Li Yuan turned to look at Li Xiuning, his tone filled with gentleness and trust.
"Yes, Father. Xiuning will do her utmost to live up to your expectations."
Li Xiuning responded firmly, already having made up her mind.
"As for me, I will personally lead the army to meet the enemy head-on."
Li Yuan stood up, his gaze piercing through the tent flap, as if he could already see the distant battlefield.
"Report! Zhu Yuanzhang's troops seem to be making unusual movements. They appear to be gathering forces and preparing to launch an attack on our army."
Just as everyone was discussing the matter, a scout rushed into the tent and knelt down to report.
"Perfect timing! Let's see just how capable Zhu Yuanzhang's Yellow Turban Army really is."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's expression remained unchanged; instead, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"This battle concerns the safety of our Great Xuan Dynasty; we must go all out."
"We must let Zhu Yuanzhang know that no matter how many reinforcements he has, he cannot shake the foundation of our Great Xuan!"
He turned and looked around at everyone, his tone firm.
The crowd responded in unison, and morale soared within the tent, creating an atmosphere of impending battle.
……
Meanwhile, inside Zhu Yuanzhang's camp, everyone was also working diligently to formulate a battle plan.
"We must guard against Li Yuanba's threat, but his strength is also our opportunity."
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.
"What you say is absolutely right, my lord. Li Yuanba is brave, but he is not invincible. We can take advantage of the terrain to set up an ambush, wait for him to tire himself out, and wear down his morale."
Zhu Sheng gently waved his feather fan and slowly answered.
"General Zhu, General Xie, I apologize for any offense I may have caused you before."
"In this battle, I am willing to be the vanguard, vowing to kill Li Yuanba and restore the morale of our army!"
Although Kong Jin harbored resentment, he had to temporarily set aside his personal grudges in the face of the bigger picture.
"General Kong is brave and admirable. With General Kong as our vanguard in this battle, we will surely be invincible."
Xie Zijing smiled slightly. She knew that although Kong Jin's words were somewhat impulsive, she had no reason to refuse this great nemesis who was willing to take the lead in confronting Li Yuanba.
"Although I am not talented, I am willing to give my life for the cause of the Yellow Turbans."
"In this battle, our Yellow Turban Army of Wuzhou will certainly go all out to fight against the great enemy."
Zhang Liang also expressed his opinion.
"With such a mindset, what worries do we, the Yellow Turban army, have about failing in our great cause?"
"In this battle, we must not only win, but win spectacularly, letting the Great Xuan Dynasty know that our Yellow Turban Army is not to be underestimated!"
Upon seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a brief moment of relief.
The crowd responded in unison, and the tent was filled with enthusiastic cheers.
...
While Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Yuan were about to engage in a fierce battle, on the other side, Zhang Tianxuan and Yang Su were at their battlefield in Baizhou.
As dawn broke, outside the camp gate, Zhang Tianxuan, dressed in battle robes, stood tall and imposing, surrounded by several trusted generals.
In the distance, amidst billowing dust, a troop clad in specially crafted dark blue armor, shrouded in cloud patterns, appeared as if celestial warriors had descended to earth. Each step they took was accompanied by a mysterious rhythm, exuding an extraordinary aura as they slowly approached.
It was the Xuantian Guard who had previously shone brightly on the battlefield of Luzhou.
"Is that the Xuan Tian Guard, who has recently gained widespread fame within the Taiping Sect and is said to be able to contend with Dao soldiers?"
A general in blue robes whispered, his voice full of amazement.
"This force may be the key to breaking the deadlock."
Zhang Tianxuan's eyes were sharp as he stared at the approaching troops. This army, in terms of both combat effectiveness and ideology, shared similarities with his rebel army.
At this moment, Master Xuantong stood in front of the Xuantian Guard Formation, his dark blue Taoist robe fluttering in the wind, the yin-yang fish and Bagua patterns shining brightly in the sunlight, scrutinizing everything in front of him with a transcendent attitude.
Beside him followed a handsome general, Chong Heqing, a young Taoist protector, who held the "Eight Trigrams Soul-Suppressing Halberd" and rode the "Cloud-Treading Black Steed," closely following behind.
"Master, we've finally arrived."
Chong Heqing's voice was clear and firm. He knew the importance of this trip. It was not only to find a wise ruler, but also to find a fertile ground in this chaotic world where Taoist ideas could take root and flourish.
"The calamity in Qianyuan County, though a natural disaster, has also given us an opportunity."
"I have heard of Zhang Tianxuan before. His ambitions coincide with our ideals. On this journey, we will surely find our own path."
Master Xuantong raised his head and smiled slightly.
As they spoke, the two groups of people were already very close.
"I am Zhang Tianxuan, and I have been waiting for Daoist Xuantong and the Xuantian Guards for quite some time!"
Zhang Tianxuan strode forward and greeted them with a cupped hand.
"I have long admired General Zhang's name, and meeting him today, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary."
"I am the Taoist Master Xuantong, and I have come with the Xuantian Guards. I am willing to lend you a hand and work together to achieve great things."
Master Xuantong returned the greeting with a smile.
"The Taoist priest's assistance is like timely rain, and the entire Qingyi Army is deeply grateful."
Master Xuantong returned the greeting with a smile.
"The Taoist priest's assistance is like timely rain, and the entire Qingyi Army is deeply grateful."
"Please come into the camp so we can discuss strategies to defeat the enemy."
A hint of joy flashed in Zhang Tianxuan's eyes, and she quickly said.
As the group entered the tent, the atmosphere immediately became lively.
Inside the tent, candlelight illuminated faces filled with determination and anticipation as Zhang Tianxuan and Xuandao Daoist sat facing each other.
"Master, the current situation is critical. Does the Xuan Tian Guard have any countermeasures?"
"Although the Great Xuan Dynasty is declining, it is still one of the five great dynasties, and its foundation remains strong, with a constant stream of talented people and extraordinary individuals."
"I wonder if the leader has a good strategy to deal with this?"
Zhang Tianxuan asked the question directly.
"General Zhang, there is no need to worry."
"The reason why the Xuantian Guard was able to shine on the battlefield of Luzhou was because they had mastered many unique Taoist formations."
"These formations can effectively increase the combat power of many soldiers and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy."
Master Xuantong smiled slightly and said.
"Excellent! I wonder if you could teach my Green Robe Army soldiers some less important formations?"
Zhang Tianxuan was overjoyed upon hearing this and said...
"Of course it's possible, but learning Taoist formations usually requires a certain amount of time and comprehension."
"I hope the general can select some elite soldiers so that I and He Qing can personally teach them these formations."
Master Xuantong nodded, not refusing further, or rather, that was his original intention.
As long as it doesn't involve some of the core secrets of Taoism, various forces have some similar formations to varying degrees.
Even Zhang Jiao and others from the Yellow Turban Rebellion of the Taiping Sect mastered many similar formations.
However, after Zhang Tianxuan became independent, she rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with these high-end things.
"Thank you, Daoist Master! I will definitely select the most elite soldiers to receive your instruction."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianxuan was overjoyed and quickly replied.
