Chapter 1131 Heart Disease
When they were still in the capital, Murong Yan told Bai Qingyan that Murong Li was very much in favor of the merger of the two countries, and even said that he wanted to stage a play with Murong Yan to convince his mother.
Was it because Murong Yan’s sister-in-law knew about this in advance? Bai Qingyan thought it was unlikely. Both Murong Yan and Murong Li were cautious by nature. They would never let the news leak out before they started to act.
She thought of Murong Yan’s words today that he would stay with her to celebrate New Year’s Eve, and her sharp eyes fell on her abdomen…
Although Murong Yan and Murong Li would not let the news leak out, if Murong Yan’s sister-in-law knew that he once had an identity as Murong Yan, a wealthy businessman of the Wei Dynasty, and used this identity to marry her, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and had a child, she would probably be worried, fearing that Murong Yan would try to win over the entire Yan State for the sake of his own bloodline.
Bai Qingyan looked back at Murong Yan, who was standing in front of the map and talking to Xie Xun with his head tilted to one side, and felt that he might be mean-spirited. Murong Yan’s brother Murong Yu… and his nephew were both people who cared about the people, especially Murong Li, who was brought up so well, which must have something to do with Queen Dowager Yan.
She folded Bai Jintong’s letter and handed it to Shen Qingzhu: “Take it first…”
“Yes!” Shen Qingzhu responded.
Bai Qingyan picked up the teacup on the table and took two sips. When he put it down, the slight sound of the porcelain cup knocking against the table attracted Bai Qingyu’s attention. He looked at Bai Qingyan and asked, “How should we fight this battle next? Sister, do you have an idea in mind?”
Bai Qingyan nodded and walked through the curtain towards the map.
Sar Khan, who fled to the Dog’s Tooth City with more than a dozen giant elephants, is now unable to support himself and will certainly go to join the main elephant army led by Akshay.
“Regardless of whether Li Tianjiao can be captured or not, if Sar Khan sends someone to send a message to Akshay, asking him to bring the elephant army to join him.” She stood in front of the huge map and said with a smile, “For us… this battle will be easier to fight!”
Murong Yan stood side by side with Bai Qingyan, looking at the map and said, “You mean to use the terrain to fight another battle before they meet up?”
“The elephant army led by Akshay is huge in number. If Sar Khan wants to join the elephant army next, then his speed must be faster than that of Akshay’s elephant army!” Bai Qingyan turned to look at Murong Yan and Bai Qingyu, “And if Akshay gets the news that Sar Khan’s elephant army was ambushed in the valley, what will he do?”
“Avoid the valley and choose the fastest way to meet up with Sar Khan.” Bai Qingyu looked up at the map, his lips curled up, “Send a message to my third brother as fast as possible and have him ambush us in the valley to ensure that Akshay will not dare to go through the valley again.”
Bai Qingyu thought the same thing as Bai Qingyan, and she nodded with a smile.
“Your Majesty… General Shen Liangyu and General Cheng Yuanzhi are back!” Wei Zhong whispered outside the door.
“Please let General Shen and General Cheng in.”
Bai Qingyan took two steps outside and saw Shen Liangyu and Cheng Yuanzhi, who were covered in cold wind and snow, coming in. After the two bowed to Bai Qingyan, Shen Liangyu said, “Your Majesty, I failed to live up to your trust. Although I wiped out the remaining Huoyun Army in Lai’anshan, I failed to capture Li Tianjiao and let her escape. Later, we captured Li Tianjiao’s personal maid and found out that after Yun Poxing set out, Li Tianjiao took Li Zhijie, who had a high fever, out of Lai’anshan to seek medical treatment. The maid didn’t know which city she went to seek medical treatment. General Cheng and I followed the traces left behind and chased her all night, but we couldn’t catch her back!”
“It’s okay.” Bai Qingyan ordered Wei Zhong to prepare hot soup and food for Cheng Yuanzhi and Shen Kunyang, and asked someone to invite a military doctor to bandage Cheng Yuanzhi’s wound. “You guys take a break first. Today is New Year’s Eve… Let’s have a good New Year first!”
After watching the two men leave, she thought about Li Tianjiao’s current future. Now that the elephant army under Sar Khan was damaged and Li Tianjiao had already broken off relations with the Great Zhou, he might seek cooperation with the Yan Kingdom, or he might go directly back to Yunjing to call on the eight major families and take advantage of the fight between the Great Zhou and the Yan Kingdom and the Tianfeng Kingdom’s elephant army to pursue his own plans.
She turned to look at Murong Yan: “The Great Zhou and the State of Yan have agreed to fight on their own and exchange war reports, so… after New Year’s Eve, our Great Zhou will split into two groups. I will lead one group to the south of the border between the Great Zhou and Xiliang to join the Bai family army and fight against the elephant army under Akshay. General Shen Kunyang will lead one group across the Danshui River to attack the Dog Tooth City and then march to Yunjing.”
She walked up to Murong Yan and said, “Yesterday, Xiliang sent the Fire Cloud Army to attack Pingyang City. They have already torn their relationship with the Great Zhou. The next step may be to go to Yan State to seek peace or help. What are your plans, Yan State?”
“Since Yan has already made an alliance with Great Zhou, it will naturally not be fickle.” Murong Yan’s eyes swept across the map, looking at Bai Qingyan and said, “Yan’s reinforcements are on the way and will arrive in Quanzhou tomorrow. Now Great Yan has 100,000 troops, leaving garrison troops behind. After crossing the Danshui River, they will advance eastward along the Danshui River and join Great Zhou in confronting the Tianfeng Kingdom’s elephant army head-on.”
Xie Xun nodded in agreement. After the Great Zhou and the State of Yan made an alliance, they were so benevolent and righteous. Besides, the Bai family had been a family of generals for generations, and their family reputation was well-established. Rather than cooperating with the indecisive Xiliang, a general like Xie Xun would certainly be more willing to join forces with the Great Zhou and make an alliance.
Murong Yan walked to the map, pointed at the location of Quanzhou, and then pointed to Yunjing: “I will immediately send Xie Xun to lead the troops back to Mengcheng, and send someone to Quanzhou to deliver a message, asking the Yan army to set out from Quanzhou and march to Yunjing!”
Xie Xun nodded and reacted, then asked, “My Lord, I will lead the troops back to Mengcheng? What about you?”
Murong Yan turned to look at Xie Xun: “After the two countries sign the alliance, I still have some things to discuss with Emperor Zhou, you take the troops back first…”
“Ninth Prince, today is New Year’s Eve. Let’s put everything aside. After all, Emperor Yan is still in Mengcheng. Ninth Prince should go back to accompany Emperor Yan, and spend a good New Year’s Eve with the family. The previous emperor of Yan is gone, and it doesn’t make sense for you, as his uncle, to let Emperor Yan spend New Year’s Eve alone.” Bai Qingyan said with a smile.
Murong Yan looked back at Bai Qingyan in surprise. When he saw Bai Qingyan nod to him, he knew that Bai Qingyan wanted him to return to Mengcheng, and emphasized the word “family”.
He had just told Bai Qingyan that his sister-in-law had arrived in Mengcheng. She was always perceptive and she must have noticed that he was in a bad mood and was worried that he had some conflict with his sister-in-law, so she urged him to go back to celebrate New Year’s Eve.
Murong Yan knew what his sister-in-law was worried about. She was afraid that he would dethrone Murong Li for the sake of Bai Qingyan’s unborn child. If he stayed to accompany Abao today, it would probably make his sister-in-law even more worried. Abao was worried about him.
