Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

When Li Yuan sent Pei Ji to contact external aid, Lin Fan was already safe and comfortable in the Zhou army camp.

He reads the military newspaper every day, inspects the camp and wins the hearts of the people, and spends the rest of the time practicing, which is quite peaceful.

That day, Lin Fan was inspecting the military camp when Li Jing suddenly came up to him.

"General Li Jing pays homage to the Marshal!"

Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. What's going on?"

Li Jing clasped his fists and said, "The scouts have received news that the Li Tang side has sent different teams to the Northern Mang, Northern Yuan, Turkic, and Goryeo directions."

Lin Fan frowned slightly upon hearing this. "Is the Li family planning to collude with other races to fight against the Great Zhou?"

Li Jing said, "At present, we only know that Li Tang sent envoys, but we don't know their specific purpose."

"I understand. Let's speed up the army's attack as much as possible. We can't give the aliens time." Lin Fan pondered for a moment and said to Li Jing.

"Also, I will find a way to create chaos within the Li Clan first to relieve some of the pressure on you."

"I will obey your orders!"

Li Jing clasped his fists respectfully in response, then said goodbye and left.

After watching Li Jing leave, Lin Fan went straight back to his tent.

Suddenly, from a corner of the camp, a graceful figure dressed in black appeared not far from Lin Fan.

"This subordinate Jing Niu greets the master!"

After the graceful figure appeared, she knelt on one knee in front of Lin Fan and spoke respectfully.

"Get up," Lin Fan waved his hand, and a stream of Qi was released through the air, helping Jingwei up. Then he said, "Come with me to the tent and we'll talk."

"Yes," Jingwei replied respectfully, and followed Lin Fan into the commander's tent.

"But is there any news about Li Tang?" After entering the commander's tent, Lin Fan sat on the commander's seat and looked at Jingwei and asked.

Jing Niu clasped his fists and said, "Master, please understand. Luowang has received news that Li Tang has sent four waves of envoys to Beimang, Beiyuan, Turkic, and Goryeo."

"Have you figured out their purpose?" Lin Fan raised his eyelids slightly and asked calmly.

Jing Niu said, "According to the information obtained by Luowang, Li Yuan, the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, has adopted the advice of Pei Ji, the Minister of the Right, and plans to visit these four foreign countries and invite strong men to join forces to deal with the master."

Lin Fan couldn't help but smile when he heard this. "I see. That's quite interesting."

Jingwei asked cautiously, "Master, should we send someone to intercept and kill Li Tang's envoy?"

Lin Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's intercept and kill the envoys going to Beimang and Beiyuan. As for the envoys from Turkic and Goryeo, let them go."

"If the Turks and Goryeo agree to send troops, then our Great Zhou will have a reason to attack them. As for the Northern Yuan and Northern Mang, the time is not right yet."

"I obey your command!" Upon hearing this, Jingniu immediately responded respectfully.

Lin Fan thought for a moment and then asked, "How's the war going on the southern front?"

Jingwei said, "The war on the southern front is progressing smoothly. Li Mi of Wagangzhai has lost a lot of support due to his rebellion against Zhai Rang. Coupled with our army's attack, he has no chance to reunite with Zhai Rang's old subordinates."

"General Meng Tian is an outstanding commander, and with Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin working together to persuade them to surrender, the Wagang Stronghold is on the verge of collapse."

"As for Wang Shichong, he and Li Mi were also scheming against each other, and their alliance was in name only. After the fall of Wagangzhai, Wang Shichong would certainly not be able to last."

Lin Fan nodded slightly and said, "I understand. After you go down, send someone to intercept Li Tang's envoys going to Beiyuan and Beimang. Also, send someone to notify Zhu Yuyan of the Yingui Sect and tell her that it's time to take action."

"Yes, my subordinates are resigning!"

Upon hearing this, Jingwei respectfully clasped his fists in response, then turned and left.

Shortly after Jingwei left, Luowang's operation was officially launched, and the two groups of envoys sent by Li Tang to Northern Yuan and Northern Mang were easily killed.

At the same time, Zhu Yuyan of the Yingui Sect received Lin Fan's order, which also prompted the people of the Demon Sect to take action.

In less than a month, middle and senior-level generals in the coalition forces of Li and Dou Jiande continued to die.

Even Li Shimin, the second son of the Li family, died silently in his own mansion.

The Li-Tang coalition forces were suddenly in a state of panic.

While the allied forces of Li Tang and Dou Jiande were in panic, the Zhou army, led by Li Jing and Yue Fei, was in high spirits and continued to capture cities and territories with great momentum.

When Lin Fan, along with Li Jing and Yue Fei, led the army to attack Taiyuan, the ancestral home of Li Tang, the expert that Li Yuan had sent to invite finally arrived!

Outside Taiyuan City, Lin Fan sat in the commander's tent, listening to the news reported by Jingwei.

"You mean, the Korean sword master Fu Cailin and the Turkic martial arts master Bi Xuan are both in Taiyuan?"

Jingwei said respectfully, "Yes, Master. Besides these two, the Turkic side also has masters such as Demon Marshal Zhao Deyan and Flying Eagle Qu Ao."

"Haha, masters? Do they deserve this title?" Lin Fan shook his head slightly and chuckled.

"You go down. From now on, Luowang will pay more attention to the news from Beiyuan and Beimang. As for the Sui Kingdom, it will be almost over after I deal with Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin."

"I obey my orders!"

Jingwei responded respectfully, then turned and left.

Not long after Jingwei left, Yue Fei suddenly rushed over and asked for a meeting.

"General, here is a declaration of war from the Tang army, it's for you," Yue Fei said respectfully after greeting Lin Fan. He presented the declaration of war with both hands.

"Declaration of war," Lin Fan raised his eyebrows slightly and took the letter of war casually.

When he opened it, it was just as he expected. This declaration of war came from Martial Master Bi Xuan.

Or, we should also add the Yijian master Fu Cailin.

"Let the army set up camp and prepare defenses. Tomorrow, I will go to meet these two 'masters' and then launch an attack on Taiyuan." Lin Fan put away the letter of challenge and said to Yue Fei with a smile.

"I will obey your orders!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Fei respectfully responded and then went to convey Lin Fan's order.

Soon, it was noon the next day.

After Lin Fan instructed Li Jing and Yue Fei to guard the camp, he walked alone to the open space between the military camp and Taiyuan City.

At the same time, in Taiyuan City, Martial Master Bi Xuan, Sword Master Fu Cailin, Demon Commander Zhao Deyan, and Flying Eagle Qu Ao also left Taiyuan City separately and headed towards the open space in the middle.

Soon, the five people met in the open space between the military camp and Taiyuan City.

"Are you the Lin Fan who defeated Ning Daoqi?" Martial Master Bi Xuan looked at the young Lin Fan and couldn't help but ask with some doubt.

Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "Why? Martial Master Bi Xuan also has the same knowledge as an ordinary person?"

Bi Xuan laughed upon hearing this and said, "Haha, that's my fault. Now that Master Lin is here, let's begin our duel!"

As the voice fell, Bi Xuan clenched his right fist and punched Lin Fan fiercely!

Bi Xuan's punch did not produce any whistling sound, nor did it carry any powerful energy, but it seemed to attack every part of Lin Fan's body at the same time.

The moment Bi Xuan threw his punch, the space suddenly became scorching hot and boiling, as if people were placed in an extremely hot yellow sand desert.

A violent heat like an iron pillar instantly rushed to Lin Fan's chest!
