Chapter 1106 Bait
Seeing Bai Qingyan was about to speak, Shen Kunyang looked embarrassed and raised his hand to stop Bai Qingyan: “Forgive me for being so bold. If Xiao Baishuai had made such an arrangement before she was pregnant, I, Shen Kunyang, would have absolutely no objection. But… Xiao Baishuai is pregnant now, and it is inconvenient for her to move! If the Huoyun Army comes to attack the city… the consequences will be disastrous!”
Shen Kunyang looked very respectful and said, “Shen Kunyang saw Xiao Baishuai joining the army. Xiao Baishuai used to be my subordinate. Xiao Baishuai, you can call me Uncle Shen. Today, Shen Kunyang is too arrogant and refuses to obey orders. I will take 2,000 of the 15,000 troops with me. Otherwise, even if I am the leader of the army, I will never obey your orders!”
When Bai Qingyan heard Shen Kunyang’s words, a bitter yet warm current hit her heart. She whispered, “Uncle Shen, Li Zhijie is an extremely cunning and smart man. The Queen of Xiliang and Yun Poxing are also not ordinary people. We must let them see that Pingyang City’s military forces are really empty. Only then can we test whether they really want to cooperate or have other intentions!”
Shen Kunyang became even more anxious after hearing this: “You can’t use Xiao Baishuai as bait! You’re risking the safety of you and your child!”
“Uncle Shen, don’t worry…” Bai Qingyan whispered to comfort the emotional Shen Kunyang, “Shen Liangyu has already brought the Tiger Eagle Army and is waiting less than three miles outside Pingyang City. Xiao Ruohai… has already gone to pass on the order.”
Today’s Tiger Eagle Battalion is no longer the Tiger Eagle Battalion, but the Tiger Eagle Army, which has grown a lot…
Since we want to deal with the fake so-called Fire Cloud Army, we naturally have to let the genuine Tiger Eagle Army go.
Shen Kunyang was startled and looked at Bai Qingyu.
Bai Qingyu smiled and nodded. Not only Shen Liangyu… Bai Jinxiu, the second daughter of the Bai family and the assistant monarch who lived far away in Hancheng, had also set off for Pingyang City.
Before Bai Qingyan set out from Dadu City to Pingyang City, he sent secret letters to Bai Qingqi, the third son of the Bai family, who was far away in Qiushan Pass in southern Xinjiang, and his uncle Dong Qingyue in Dengzhou. He told them the news that elephants were afraid of the cold, and asked them not to be paralyzed by the goodwill shown by Tianfeng Kingdom, as there was a possibility that Pingyang City would go to war, so they must be prepared in advance!
When Bai Qingyan arrived in Pingyang City and made up his mind to go to war with Tianfeng Kingdom, he sent people to southern Xinjiang and Dengzhou to send another letter, telling Bai Qingqi and his uncle Dong Qingyue that he would go to war with Tianfeng Kingdom on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and asked them to prepare to catch the Eastern Elephant Army of Tianfeng Kingdom by surprise.
After severely damaging the elephant army of Tianfeng Kingdom and driving the Tianfeng Kingdom away, the next step is to launch a full-scale attack on Xiliang.
The Bai family and the Bai family army want revenge, all the Bai family members and the Bai family army… none of them can be left behind!
In a camp three miles away from Pingyang City, Shen Liangyu, biting a dry straw in his mouth, rode on the hillside with a few men. His eagle-like eyes were looking far away in the direction of Pingyang City, just waiting for the order from General Xiaobai to kill that group of fake Tiger Eagle Army… Fire Cloud Army, to let them see that the Bai Family Army and the Tiger Eagle Army… are definitely not something that they in Xiliang can copy.
Bai Qingyan looked at the detailed map drawn by Xiao Ruohai, and murderous intent surged in his seemingly calm eyes: “This is the last chance I give Xiliang! If they don’t want to cooperate well… and dare to take action first, then we will settle all the new and old grudges together. They don’t want to wait until the three-year agreement expires, so my Great Zhou naturally cannot spoil the fun and must accompany them!”
Shen Kunyang suddenly realized why Bai Qingyan arranged the troops like this…
Bai Qingyan is making preparations for both scenarios!
The Tiger Eagle Army was Bai Qingyan’s backup plan.
Bai Qingyan can put aside his hatred and work with Xiliang to resist the Tianfeng Kingdom, provided that Xiliang can truly submit to the Great Zhou instead of playing dirty tricks behind the scenes.
If Xiliang was playing tricks behind the scenes, then Bai Qingyan would join forces with Dayan to attack Tianfeng Kingdom in this battle so that Dazhou could divide its troops, and at the same time use the Tiger Eagle Army to destroy Xiliang’s Fire Cloud Army.
If Xiliang cooperated and was willing to surrender, then in this battle, not only would she kill all of Tianfeng Kingdom’s elephant army and elite troops at the hands of Han Wenshan, she would also have to kill a part of the army led by Shen Kunyang… to ensure that Xiliang’s Fire Cloud Army was depleted to the point where it no longer had the ability to threaten Da Zhou.
The Fire Cloud Army was eliminated so that Xiliang would have no ability to resist and would surrender obediently.
The Tianfeng Kingdom’s elephant army was slaughtered because Tianfeng had no ability to fight anymore and could only roll back to the Tianfeng Kingdom.
After all, training a war elephant is not something that can be accomplished overnight! Moreover, the financial and material resources consumed are incalculable. Without the elephant army, the Tianfeng Kingdom is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, and there is nothing to fear.
Bai Qingyu’s eyes were calm. “If Xiliang still can’t see its own strength clearly and tries to take advantage of the war between Great Zhou and Tianfeng Kingdom to make small moves behind the scenes, we in Great Zhou will first kill all the war elephants of Tianfeng Kingdom, drive Tianfeng Kingdom back, and then destroy Xiliang, and then… use all our strength to deal with Tianfeng Kingdom.”
“I’m still a little worried!” Shen Kunyang frowned, “What if Tianfeng Country didn’t do what General Xiaobai expected and still tried to build good relations with the Great Zhou, but instead planned to fight to the death and leave from the south gate of Pingdu City and attack Pingyang City?”
Shen Kunyang thought of the giant elephant that had only hit the city gate once last night and caused it to collapse. He was quite afraid: “There were only thirty elephants. Our soldiers from the Great Zhou and the State of Yan worked together and suffered heavy losses! The giant elephant only hit the city gate once, and the city gate became like that! We took all the soldiers away. Even if Pingyang City has the Tiger Eagle Battalion, I am afraid that I can’t defend it!”
“Uncle Shen, first of all… we have used peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and peppercorns to fight giant elephants after they are burned! Also… I have already told Xiao Si that we must trample the snow and make it slippery. The pungent smell and slippery snow are the most effective ways we have figured out to fight the elephant army!”
Seeing that Shen Kunyang was about to say something, Bai Qingyan had to speak frankly about something he didn’t want to say: “The most important thing… I bet the reason why Tianfeng Country didn’t dare to fight to the death with us is because of a secret letter we received from Tianfeng Country before leaving Dadu City for Pingyang City!”
Bai Jintong’s people set up a trading company in Tianfeng Country as merchants. Bai Jintong left all the experienced shopkeepers of the Bai family in Tianfeng Country to gather information. This time, they indeed gathered very useful information. They risked great danger to deliver the letter to Chen Qingsheng, who then handed it over to Bai Qingyan…
The letter said that the great witch of Tianfeng Kingdom received an oracle saying that the gods had chosen a master for this land, and if Tianfeng Kingdom took the initiative to start a war on this land while the master of this land was still alive, it would be punished by the gods. He then vomited blood and fell into a coma.
Later, the great witch’s disciple rushed to Sar Khan, the king of Tianfeng Kingdom, wanting to help Sar Khan find the owner chosen by the gods for this land, kill the owner of the land, and then start plundering the land.
