The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1144: Can’t hide
Chapter 1144 Can’t Hide
Cheng Yuanzhi rushed out on his horse, followed by Sima Ping and his troops. They rushed towards the brightly lit Canine City like a surging wave.
“Uncle Shen!” Bai Jinzhi saw Sima Ping rushing out, and with a burning heart he pulled the reins forward and asked Shen Kunyang again, “Uncle Shen! I…”
“Have you forgotten what you promised Xiao Baishuai? You must obey me in everything!” Shen Kunyang’s eyes were calm.
Before leaving, the Fifth Young Master specifically reminded Shen Kunyang that although Bai Jinzhi was brave, she was too impatient. This time, he wanted Shen Kunyang to temper the Fourth Young Master’s temper. Shen Kunyang also felt that the Fifth Young Master was right. If the Fourth Young Master’s temper could be tempered, she would definitely become a brave and resourceful general in the Bai family army in the future.
“Uncle Shen!” Bai Jinzhi was extremely anxious, but he could only ride Ping An around in circles.
Lu Yuanpeng also rode up from behind, looking very happy. He saluted Shen Kunyang and said, “General Cheng asked me to follow Gao Yijun! General Shen… should Gao Yijun and I go around and enter through the side door?”
But Lu Yuanpeng knew that Bai Jinzhi always rushed to the front in every battle. Following Bai Jinzhi… he would definitely be able to rush to the front and fight bravely.
But this time, Lu Yuanpeng miscalculated.
His crying appearance was repeatedly reported to Cheng Yuanzhi and Shen Kunyang. Shen Kunyang believed that the most unacceptable thing for soldiers was fear. If they were afraid, it would inevitably affect the morale of other soldiers, so Shen Kunyang ordered Cheng Yuanzhi to withdraw Lu Yuanpeng from the siege team.
“Kill your ass!” Bai Jinzhi was furious. He rolled his eyes at the jubilant Lu Yuanpeng, then looked at the soldiers who were attacking the city. He sat down and kicked his horse’s hooves back and forth. “Let’s just watch others kill!”
“What?!” Lu Yuanpeng widened his eyes.
On the first day of the first lunar month in the second year of Yuanhe, Lord Gao Yi Bai Jinzhi and General Shen Kunyang captured the Quanya City of Xiliang, annihilated 5,000 enemies and captured 12,000 enemy troops.
Akshay, who led the elephant army in a hurry to meet Sar Khan, ordered the elephant army to set up camp after receiving the second letter from Sar Khan. The next day, he changed the route and headed towards the south of Xiliang.
Bai Qingyan and Bai Qingyu received a message from Bai Qingqi saying that the elephant army led by Akshay had changed its route. Combined with the news that Wei Zhong had sent a disciple to follow the great wizard of Tianfeng Kingdom to find Sar Khan, and Sar Khan also changed his route to the southern part of Xiliang, Bai Qingyan guessed that Tianfeng Kingdom wanted to preserve its strength this time, retreat to the other side of the snow mountain, and wait until spring comes before leading the giant elephants to attack.
But now… it is no longer the time when the Tianfeng Kingdom can come and go as it pleases.
Now that the war has begun, then… we must inflict heavy losses on the Tianfeng Kingdom, just like Xiliang did in the past, so that the country will no longer be able to invade other countries’ borders for at least ten years. After that, we will build a checkpoint on the only route from the Tianfeng Kingdom to Xiliang to resist the giant elephants, so that the people can live in safety.
After making up his mind, Bai Qingyan stood up and walked to the map, saying to Bai Qingyu, “If the Tianfeng Nation wants to leave, it is impossible for them to pass through our Great Zhou. Now, everything north of Tonggu Mountain to Zhongshan City is under the jurisdiction of our Great Zhou. According to their current location, they can only go around Chuanling… and pass through Liuxiang Mountain east of Zhongshan City.”
He said to Shen Qingzhu: “Send someone to inform the Yan army that the Tianfeng Kingdom is withdrawing. We must severely damage the main elephant army of the Tianfeng Kingdom before they withdraw. It takes time for the giant elephants to grow. As long as we kill enough of them, it will take them longer to organize the next attack! We will immediately rush to the east of Liuxiang Mountain to set up an ambush.”
“Yes!” Shen Qingzhu immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to the Yan army.
“The area east of Zhongshan City was mostly mountainous, so our Great Zhou did not take it over. Although the elephant army of Tianfeng Kingdom will deliberately avoid the roads in the valleys after the battle of Han Wenshan, if we really withdraw to the southern part of Xiliang and return to the other side of the snow-capped mountains, I think this is the only road left.” Bai Qingyu pointed to the Chuanling Mountains that passed through Liuxiang Mountain and drew the only gap between Xiliang and Tianfeng Kingdom through the snow-capped mountains marked on the map.
“Since the Tianfeng Kingdom is withdrawing, this is the last battle and we must fight with all our might!” Bai Qingyan said to Bai Qingyu.
“Sister, leave this to me. I will lead the troops to Liuxiang Mountain.” Bai Qingyu supported Bai Qingyan’s arm and helped her sit down on the chair. “Now Murong Li has returned to the capital of Yan with Queen Mother Yan. Once the two countries have pacified Xiliang, they will start the process of merging the two countries into one. Sister, you’d better prepare for this early. Besides… Sister is pregnant. Mother is afraid that she can’t rest assured if she is away for too long!”
“The news of my elder sister’s return to the capital, plus the news that my third brother led his troops to Xiliang City and that the Great Zhou army attacked Xiliang City in multiple directions, has reached the ears of Sar Khan and Akshay of Tianfeng Country. They will surely let down their guard and think that as long as they leave us, we will not entangle with them, but instead compete with Yan State for Xiliang City!”
“They definitely wouldn’t have thought that this army, which is farther away from Liuxiang Mountain than Third Brother and his men, would rush to Liuxiang Mountain to set up an ambush! As long as they let down their guard, it will be easier for us to fight.”
Bai Qingyan smiled and nodded. This was the reason why she did not order Bai Qingqi to set up an ambush in Liuxiangshan.
“You can spread the news that I’m going back to the capital first!” Bai Qingyan said, turning his head to look at the map painted with warm colors by the candlelight. “Since we took Tonggu Mountain, the only natural barrier of the mountain range in the whole of Xiliang that can be defended is Yecheng Pass! And the commander of Yecheng Pass, Ye Shouguan, has not fought in a war for many years, but he is quite capable! Once your second sister arrives and takes down Yecheng Pass… I will return to the capital!”
As long as Yecheng Pass is taken, Xiliang will be a smooth road for the soldiers of the Great Zhou.
The Xiliang Ye family has been guarding Yechengguan for generations. It is said that when the former emperor of Xiliang wanted to join forces with Southern Yan to challenge the State of Jin, it was General Ye who strongly opposed it. Later, because his opposition was too fierce, the former emperor of Xiliang was dissatisfied and reprimanded.
Bai Qingyu thought for a moment and nodded: “When my second sister arrives, I will go to meet up with my third brother first, and then go to Yecheng Pass. My second sister and I will lead the troops to ambush the Tianfeng Kingdom’s elephant army with the Yan Kingdom, and then meet up with my sister at Yecheng Pass!”
Bai Qingyan added: “If there are any spoils from the battle at Liuxiang Mountain this time…”
“Don’t worry, sister!” Bai Qingyu’s lips were filled with a faint smile, “Give most of it to Yan State to win over the hearts of Yan State’s soldiers.”
Bai Qingyan had nothing to worry about when Bai Qingyu was doing things.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month in the second year of Yuanhe, Lord Gao Yi Bai Jinzhi and General Shen Kunyang captured Shanguan Pass. On the same day, Lord Fuguo Bai Jinxiu arrived in southern Xinjiang and joined forces with the troops led by Emperor Zhou.
On the way, Bai Jinxiu had already heard the news that Bai Qingyu had returned. She could not hide her tears since she entered the military camp.
The third update, continue to ask for monthly tickets…
