At the same time.

Beiliang Camp outside the east gate of Tai'an City.

The tent of the Central Commander.

Beiliang King Xu Xiao and others were also gathered in the tent to discuss matters.

"Adoptive father, the soldiers have finished their repairs. We are just waiting for your order to break through the Tai'an Imperial City."

Yuan Zuozong entered the tent and reported.

"Yes."

"Sit down first."

Xu Xiao nodded calmly and said.

Yuan Zuozong sat down beside Ye Xizhen.

Xu Xiao brought four of his five adopted sons who were still alive on this expedition, and only Chu Lushan was left in Beiliang to guard the base camp.

Everyone's eyes were on Xu Xiao's face, waiting for his order.

After a moment of silence, Xu Xiao slowly raised his head and glanced at the people present, and said slowly:

"Does anyone among you regret it?"

"To avenge my adopted mother, we will die without hesitation!"

Hearing Xu Xiao's words, Yuan Zuozong and several other adopted sons immediately stood up and expressed their opinions.

Xu Xiao smiled with relief and said nothing more. The tent fell into silence again.

"Dad!"

"We have now reached the city of Tai'an, and we are only one step away from avenging our mother. What do you mean by this?"

Xu Fengnian couldn't help but speak at this time.

"The last step!"

"Yes! Only the last step!"

Xu Xiao took a long breath and spoke.

"Does the prince have any concerns in his heart?"

Li Yishan, who had never spoken, spoke at this time.

"Concerns?"

Xu Xiao stood up, paced slowly in the tent, and said in a deep voice:

"The journey here has been relatively smooth, but I have always felt uneasy in my heart. The closer I get to Tai'an City, the stronger this feeling becomes."

"Are you worried about the State of Chu?"

Li Yishan said bluntly.

"The State of Chu! Yes!"

"The foundation of the State of Chu is really terrible!"

"It's just the restoration of the country, and it actually has such an elite army of 300,000. It's incredible!"

Xu Xiao said with a sigh.

Li Yishan then continued to speak:

"Indeed!"

"And it is said that there are 100,000 troops stationed in Baidi City, confronting King Yanchi."

"Our three states in Beiliang have been somewhat short of food and grass since the war."

"And the Chu State has a total of 400,000 troops, fighting on two fronts, and there is no shortage of food and grass until today. It is really puzzling!"

Xu Xiao returned to his seat and continued to speak:

"The talent is even more amazing!"

"Not only is there a great talent like Cao Changqing, but that Li Jing is even more of a monster!"

"His ability to command troops is still as good as Ye Baikui, the soldier in the past.Go up!"

"If this person existed in Chu State, perhaps the name of our place now is the Great Chu Dynasty."

"That young man named Guo Jia is not simple either!"

"His ability to plan may not be inferior to mine."

Li Yishan's expression also became a little heavy.

"Could it be that it is really blessed by heaven, and Chu State is destined to establish an imperial hegemony?"

"The great enemy of the future!"

Xu Xiao said solemnly.

"Dad!"

"No matter what the future looks like, at least Chu State is our ally now. The stronger Chu State is, the better it is for us."

Xu Fengnian said.

After listening to Xu Fengnian's words, Xu Xiao also nodded slowly.

"What Fengnian said makes sense. ”

“No matter how strong Chu is, it is not what we need to consider now.”

“If we cannot destroy the Liyang Dynasty in one fell swoop, then our Beiliang will be doomed.”

Just then, a personal soldier hurried in and reported:

“Your Highness!”

“There is a man outside, claiming to be an old friend of yours, and wants to see yours!”

“Old friend?” (To read the novel, go to Flylu Novel Network!)

Xu Xiao smiled and said:

“This Tai’an City is full of old friends of mine.”

“But he must be the only one who dares to come to see me at this time.”

“Let him in.”

Not long after the personal soldier left, an old monk in a simple monk’s robe slowly walked into the tent.[]

“Haha! ”

“It is you!”

“You are the only one who dares to come to see me at this time.”

Seeing the newcomer, Xu Xiao stood up and greeted him with a smile.

“Hello, Your Majesty!”

The monk bowed to Xu Xiao.

“Okay, Yang Taisui!”

“Why do we have to play this game? Come and sit down!”

Xu Xiao smiled and pulled Yang Taisui to sit down and said:

“We haven’t seen each other for many years.”

“It’s a pity that I came in a hurry this time and didn’t bring the green ant wine, so I can’t have a good drink with you. ”

Seeing Xu Xiao’s attitude, Yang Taisui’s face was full of guilt.

“Your Majesty, I…”

Yang Taisui opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“It seems that you didn’t come here to reminisce with my old friend this time.”

Xu Xiao also put away the smile on his face and said:

“Did Zhao Chun ask you to come?”

After struggling for a while, Yang Taisui still spoke:

“Your Majesty, withdraw your troops!”

“As long as you withdraw your troops, you will still be the King of Beiliang of the Liyang Dynasty!”

“Your Majesty has made a promise that there will be no investigation.”

“And… Your Majesty will also give you an explanation about the matter of the princess.”

After hearing Yang Taisui's words, Xu Xiao's face gradually turned cold.

"Retreat?"

"One hundred thousand Beiliang cavalrymen have died in Kuimen Pass. Now you want me to retreat. How do you want me to explain to them?"

"Also, go back and tell Yuan Benxi to wait for me to take his head!"

"Goodbye!"

Xu Xiao waved his hand and pointed to the door.

"Alas!"

After hearing Xu Xiao's words, Yang Taisui hesitated and wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed, stood up and staggered out of the tent.

Looking at Yang Taisui's back as he left, Xu Xiao's expression gradually calmed down, and he spoke loudly:

"Pass the order, let the brothers eat and drink well tonight."

"Tomorrow... attack the city!"

"Yes, godfather!"

When Yuan Zuozong and the other four adopted sons heard Xu Xiao's words, they immediately stood up and responded, then turned and left the tent.

After Yuan Zuozong and the others left, Xu Xiao turned his head and looked behind the tent and said

"Li Jianshen, Mr. Deng, are you sure about this battle?"

As Xu Xiao finished speaking, a shabby one-armed old man walked out from behind the tent.

Along with the one-armed old man, there was also a middle-aged man holding a peach branch.

It was Li Chungang and Deng Tai'a.

"Of course I have no confidence."

Li Chungang sat down on the stool and said directly:

"Although my cultivation has recovered, it is only the middle stage of the land celestial being at best."

"The man in Tai'an City has the strength of a half-step celestial being!"
