Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Upon hearing the news, Li Yuan and Dou Jiande both felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

"Bastard!"

Li Yuan took a breath and started cursing.

Dou Jiande supported himself with his hands on the pillar next to him and could not stand steadily at all.

The messenger who came down was sweating profusely, not because of fear, but because of exhaustion. He didn't have the energy to be afraid anymore and just knelt on the ground.

Li Yuan and the other man knew that the coalition forces were completely finished.

It was obvious that all the envoys sent out were intercepted and killed by the Great Zhou commander named Lin Fan.

Now Li Tang can neither win the battle nor contact reinforcements.

The next step was to wait desperately in the city for the Great Zhou to attack.

With Lin Fan's strength, this city gate was no different from one made of paper in his eyes.

There was no expert here to stop the other party, and the sturdy Taiyuan city gate was completely useless in front of Lin Fan.

So even if we try to boost the morale of the army now, it will be useless.

Li Yuan suddenly sat down on the ground in dejection.

"How did the Great Zhou produce a talent like Lin Fan? Before he arrived, our army was at least able to fight the Great Zhou army for a while, and even repel the Zhou army and stabilize the situation."

"Since he arrived at the battlefield, the coalition forces have been losing ground, with no chance of victory at all."

Dou Jiande sighed helplessly, "There was news earlier that the Great Zhou was in dire straits, with internal troubles outweighing external threats."

"This Lin Fan has helped the current Emperor Zhou handle many important matters. It was he who suggested that the Emperor Zhou send troops against the Sui Kingdom and our coalition forces. Many ministers within the Great Zhou were very opposed to this."

The two were now at the end of their rope, and their curiosity and fear of Lin Fan had reached their peak.

……

Here, the army of the Great Zhou was quickly integrated.

"Siege!"

Lin Fan wasted no time. He shouted loudly at the front of the battlefield and then led the vanguard army directly towards the city gate.

I originally thought that he would need to break into the city again.

However, they did not expect that the war drums and horns had just sounded, and the Great Zhou army had just begun to charge and had not yet reached the city wall.

He saw the city gate opposite slowly opening, which made Lin Fan a little confused.

I thought the other party had some conspiracy and was trying to trick me.

But this trick had no effect on him.

Without any fear, Lin Fan led the way and rushed into the city gate.

When the army entered the city, they found that the defenders of Taiyuan City had been frightened and had truly given up resistance.

"Haha," Lin Fan couldn't help but sneer.

The Li family doesn't seem to be that good either.

The city of Taiyuan was almost entirely filled with surrendered soldiers who were hiding their heads in fear.

Lin Fan ordered all these soldiers to be controlled.

Then he led a large group of people straight to the Li Tang Palace.

【Ding! 】

[Trigger the sign-in mission, please go to the Li Tang Palace to sign in! ]

The sound of the sign-in system suddenly sounded, and Lin Fan looked towards the Li Tang Palace not far away with some surprise.

"I didn't expect that I could trigger a sign-in mission. That's pretty good."

Not to mention, this kid Li Yuan even made this fake palace look really presentable.

After entering the palace gate, there was basically no one stopping us along the way, and the doors were wide open everywhere.

Lin Fan didn't expect it to be so smooth and he directly entered the so-called imperial palace.

I saw two people with decadent and desperate faces, Li Yuan and Dou Jiande.

"Catch him and take him back to keep an eye on him," he casually ordered the men beside him.

Lin Fan didn't pay much attention to these two people.

He now has a lot of talented people under his command.

Yue Fei, Meng Tian and Li Jing were the ones who led the troops in battle. They were all strategic-level military strategists, and they were also good at training soldiers. They were all all-rounders.

There are also Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, two generals whose personal strength has reached the peak level, who were conquered by Meng Tian on the southern battlefield.

In terms of literature, Zhang Juzheng, who recently signed in, is considered a top politician.

I won’t talk about the others. Anyway, Li Yuan and Dou Jiande are useless and there is no need to care about them.

Lin Fan casually glanced around the hall, raised the corner of his mouth and shook his head slightly.

Li Yuan is really narrow-minded and can't accomplish anything great.

This so-called imperial palace is as different from the one in the Great Zhou Dynasty as the difference between an adult and a child.

Although it looks magnificent, I always feel like something is missing.

Lin Fan looked at the dragon throne above again.

This thing is quite interesting.

His eyes flickered slightly.

"Oh, put this dragon throne away and carry it back. Give it to the emperor as a leisure toy!"

He ordered again.

I was thinking in my heart.

The dragon throne he wanted to sit on would definitely not be this awkward half-finished product.

The palace would definitely not be so lackluster.

【Ding! Sign in successfully! 】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Gold Silk Soft Armor (Inner Armor)! ]

At this moment, the sound of the system reward also rang in Lin Fan's mind.

"Golden silk soft armor? Wearing it can protect you from internal and external injuries. It's a real treasure."

"Don't say that there are very few people in this world who can hurt me. Even if there are such people, when they try their best to break my indestructible golden body, they will find that I am still wearing golden soft armor."

"Tsk tsk," Lin Fan could imagine the other party's despair.

"No, why do I feel like a villain who is difficult to kill?"

Lin Fan shook his head, the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Next, the army quickly cleared the entire Taiyuan city.

In Li Tang's palace, all the treasures and money were collected together.

Of course, the soldiers must drink some soup during this process.

From bottom to top, you smoke a little, I smoke a little, he smokes a little.

Finally, everyone has to hand over a certain percentage of what they collect to their superiors.

Lin Fan turned a blind eye to this.

Everyone is aware of this situation, even the emperor is well aware of it.

Sometimes soldiers' passion for fighting comes from this.

If they are not even allowed to drink this kind of soup, I am afraid that there will not be many soldiers in the world willing to fight for it.

In short, as long as the final number submitted is roughly correct, the others have already formed a kind of clever balance.

Lin Fan did not try to break this balance.

In this way, the situation on the northern front of the Sui Dynasty was completely under control.

About three days later, battle reports from the front line reached Kyoto.

……

Great Zhou, the capital city of Yong'an.

The morning court session had just ended, and just as Cao Shaoqin was about to shout for the court to be dismissed, he heard some chaotic shouting outside the hall.

Not long afterward, a eunuch quickly walked into the hall with an urgent report.

All the ministers looked closely at the eunuch.

"What's going on? Is there another urgent report from the front?"

Zhu Shou asked with a frown. He was a little worried. Wasn't there another defeat on the front line?

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! This is victory news! Commander Lin and his army have successfully captured the Li Tang city of Taiyuan! They have also captured the traitors Li Yuan and Dou Jiande!"

The eunuch held the report sent from the front line and said with a happy face.
