Chapter 548 Qing Yi Xuan Tian Discusses Da Xuan

"Master, although the army led by Yang Su of the Great Xuan Dynasty is extremely brave, our army can still fight against them on the front battlefield."

"And Peng Fengjun is a die-hard loyalist of the Great Xuan Imperial Family, and the Taoist soldiers under his command are the elite among the elite. I thought they would form a pincer attack with Yang Su and pose a fatal threat to my Qingyi Army."

"However, Peng Fengjun did not seem to attack as fiercely as expected. Instead, he hesitated between the Qingyi Army and Zhu Yuanzhang's troops. There must be something fishy going on."

Then Zhang Tianxuan looked up at Taoist Xuantian and said meaningfully.

"It is not easy for the general to have such insight."

"You must know that things in this world often hide deeper motives beneath the surface."

"The reason why Peng Fengjun didn't attack with all his strength may not be because he lacks combat power, but because he has concerns or other plans."

Taoist Xuantian nodded slightly, stroked his beard and smiled.

"What the Taoist said makes sense, but what exactly is Peng Fengjun worried about?"

"Or maybe his real target isn't just our Blue Army and Yellow Turban Army?"

Zhang Tianxuan heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said thoughtfully.

"Everything in the world has its cause and effect. As a diehard member of the Great Xuan Imperial Family, Peng Fengjun's behavior is bound to be influenced by the will of the Imperial Family."

"Perhaps, behind this seemingly simple military action, there is a deeper strategic layout of the Great Xuan Imperial Family."

Taoist Xuantian smiled slightly, his eyes were deep, as if he could see into people's hearts.

Zhang Tianxuan was shocked when he heard this. He knew very well that what Taoist Xuantian said was true, so he needed to be more cautious in his response.

"Master, if it is really as you said, how should we deal with it?"

"Yang Su has already doubled the pressure on our army. If Peng Fengjun makes another move, our Yellow Turban Army may be in a dilemma."

He pondered for a moment and could only sigh with a headache.

"General, the Art of War says, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of danger.'"

"The current urgency is to find out Peng Fengjun's true intentions, and at the same time strengthen the defense line, boost morale, and ensure that our army has enough strength to deal with the two-sided attack."

Taoist Xuantian sighed softly. He had no good way to deal with Peng Fengjun, the sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Qingyi Army and Zhu Yuanzhang's troops.

Whether it is the Qingyi Army who is now confronting Yang Su, or Zhu Yuanzhang who is confronting Li Yuan on the other side.

Once Peng Fengjun and the Taoist soldiers under his command join the battle, they will inevitably face a great defeat.

The situation on the Blue Clothes Army's side is better. At least Master Xuantong has arrived with the Xuantian Guards and Chong Heqing, and they can still hold on and barely hold on.

But if Peng Fengjun wanted to break the deadlock, and saw that the Blue Army on Zhang Tianxuan's side was unable to break the deadlock, he would turn to Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Yuan.

That would be even more devastating. Zhu Yuanzhang might end up with his entire army wiped out if he wasn't careful!

Li Shimin, a saint-level commander with high political intelligence, and Li Yuanba, a beast, both pinned Zhu Yuanzhang to the ground.

If this is combined with another Taoist soldier, then Lao Zhu can basically say GG happily.

It is completely different for a Taoist army to be in the hands of a normal commander and in the hands of a saint-level commander like Li Shimin.

It can be said that even if Li Shimin relied solely on this Taoist army, he could defeat Zhu Yuanzhang.

Add to that Li Yuanba, who has a basic strength of 110 and is basically invincible, and there are currently few emperors in the entire Tianwu Continent who can stop him, and this definitely does not include the current Zhu Yuanzhang.

At present, only Su Ye, Xuanyuan Po in the south, and Saihan in the north could possibly make up such a luxurious lineup. At this moment, Zhang Tianxuan frowned, obviously thinking of this, his face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

Once Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer hold on, the war situation would collapse completely.

Next, their Qingyi Army would have to face a three-pronged encirclement and suppression campaign from Yang Su's army, Peng Fengjun's army, and Li Yuan's army at the same time.

By then, it will only be a matter of time before he suffers the same fate as Zhu Yuanzhang.

Yang Su's army was like a tiger descending from the mountain, while Peng Fengjun's Taoist soldiers were like poisonous snakes lurking in the dark, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time. Not to mention, Li Yuan's forces were also watching closely, waiting for the best opportunity to attack.

"Master, we must take action."

"If we just passively defend and wait for Peng Fengjun's move, I'm afraid it will only put us in a more passive situation."

Zhang Tianxuan's voice was low and his brows were furrowed.

"The general is absolutely right. We cannot just sit there and wait for death."

"But at the same time, we must not act rashly, lest Peng Fengjun and Yang Su seize the opportunity and fall into the enemy's trap."

Upon hearing this, Master Xuantong gently closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Then according to the Taoist priest, what should we do?"

Zhang Tianxuan couldn't wait to ask. Like the Yellow Turban Army, the country was seriously lacking in strategists and other literati. Zhang Tianxuan knew that every suggestion from Master Xuantong could be the key to turning the tide of the war.

"The Art of War says, 'Avoid the strong and attack the weak.' Although we cannot directly confront Peng Fengjun's elite troops, we can try to contain their actions so that they cannot fully support other battlefields."

“At the same time, the general’s Qingyi Army must also speed up its offensive against Yang Su and strive for a quick victory to reduce future pressure.”

"Also, we need to defeat Yang Su's army as much as possible. Then the three-sided siege of the Great Xuan Dynasty will naturally collapse."

Taoist Xuantong spoke slowly.

However, when Zhang Tianxuan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. This seemed to be a feasible solution that could not only alleviate the current predicament, but also gain more initiative for the future.

But the problem is that if he could really quickly deal with Yang Su's army, he would not have wasted time here.

"Tianxuan understands what the Taoist means."

"However, the problem now is how to contain Peng Fengjun while ensuring that our army can quickly defeat Yang Su."

Zhang Tianxuan rubbed his forehead. Now he relied on Chong Heqing who had just arrived from the south and Xuantianwei, a troop that could briefly display the strength of Taoist soldiers.

If we catch them by surprise, we can deal a severe blow to Yang Su's army.

But in this case, Peng Fengjun's Taoist troops in the rear will definitely come to support quickly.

When facing a complete Taoist army, it is not certain whether Xuantianwei can withstand it.

If Yang Su launches a counterattack at that time, not only might the Xuantian Guards not be able to return, but most of his Qingyi Army might also be killed.

Therefore, Xuantianwei must stay behind and be on guard against any action of Peng Fengjun at all times.

In this case, everything is back to the starting point. The current Qingyi Army does not have the strength to quickly defeat Yang Su's army.

"Hmm? It's not like there's no chance."

Zhang Tianxuan was suddenly stunned, and a flash of inspiration came into his mind, like a shooting star across the dark night sky, bringing him a glimmer of hope.
