Chapter 1193 Order
Bai Qingyan nodded. The battle report was delivered non-stop, and the messenger must have been very tired. It would be better to let the messenger have a good rest. There would still be time to ask tomorrow.
“In addition, there is news that General Cui’s flag has been hung on the wall of Yunjing City in Xiliang Kingdom. It seems that General Cui Shanzhong intends to defend Yunjing to the death.” Wei Zhong said while helping Bai Qingyan to serve the dishes, “Yunjing has also been sealed off. Only entry is allowed but no exit.”
After listening to Wei Zhong, Bai Qingyan put down the front-line military report and tapped his fingers on the table, as if thinking about something.
Chunzhi and Wei Zhong stood behind Bai Qingyan and did not dare to urge Bai Qingyan to eat.
According to the habit of old General Cui Shanzhong, hanging up the military flags is more like setting up a maze.
Old General Cui Shanzhong has fought wars all his life. It is impossible that when the enemies have reached his doorstep, he would just defend instead of attacking and not drive the enemy out of his home.
This is also inconsistent with the previous fighting style of General Cui Shanzhong.
Perhaps, General Cui Shanzhong hung up the military flag in Yunjing in order to conceal other military actions and purposes of the Xiliang Army.
If the Great Zhou…is now trapped in the situation of being surrounded by the coalition forces of the two countries and attacked from all sides, she will never just defend the capital. She will definitely set up false formations in the capital and then force the armies of the two countries, or at least one country’s army, to retreat and defend. Only in this way can the pressure on Yunjing be reduced.
Among the Yan and Zhou armies, the best one is naturally the Great Zhou with more soldiers and generals who can force them to retreat.
At present, the emperor of Dayan is already in the imperial capital of Yan State, and old General Cui Shanzhong is out of reach.
As the emperor of the Great Zhou, she had not returned to the capital at this time, but was still in the Western Liang territory that had not yet been completely controlled by the Great Zhou army…
Bai Qingyan closed his eyes and sketched out a map of Xiliang in his mind. He also calculated the marching directions and routes of Da Zhou and Yan on the map.
After a while, Bai Qingyan suddenly looked up and stood up.
“Your Majesty?” Wei Zhong hurried forward.
“Order that the city guards should immediately send out spies from the south gate to the direction of Tianhong City on the Danshui River to see if there are any soldiers from Xiliang…”
Before Bai Qingyan finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of drums coming from the direction of the city gate.
Bai Qingyan walked out quickly and asked loudly, “Which city gate?”
“Your Majesty, I’m listening… It sounds like the North Gate, the East Gate, and the West Gate! There are drum sounds from three directions!” Wei Zhong said hurriedly.
First, they surrounded the east, west and north gates, leaving the south gate. Wasn’t this to block the exits of the three gates, to give her, the emperor of the Great Zhou, time to order troops to leave the city and head to Suining City and Yecheng Pass… Yunjing to report the news? !
As long as General Cui Shanzhong surrounded her, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, Xiliang would not be afraid that the main force of the Great Zhou would continue to fight Yunjing and would not turn back to rescue her.
What’s more, the generals leading the troops this time are from the Bai family. The Bai family has always valued family affection. Her brothers and sisters will never allow her, the pregnant elder sister, to be surrounded by heavy troops from Xiliang and insist on attacking Yunjing.
If Bai Qingyan guessed correctly, all the military forces of Xiliang were in the hands of the old general Cui Shanzhong. He left a small number of troops to guard Yunjing and brought most of the Xiliang soldiers out in order to surround her, the Emperor of the Great Zhou!
When the Great Zhou army comes to rescue, General Cui Shanzhong will certainly set up an ambush on the fastest road from Yecheng Pass to Gyantse City. After defeating the Great Zhou, he will turn back to Yunjing to fight a decisive battle with Dayan.
There is another situation. The best scenario is that the soldiers of the Great Zhou heard the news of the siege and fought to the death to protect her, the emperor of the Great Zhou, to get out of the city before the south gate was surrounded. As soon as she left the city, she would be captured alive by the ambush troops of Xiliang. By then, the Great Zhou army would not have taken Yunjing yet, but their own emperor would have been captured alive, and the Great Zhou would not be able to fight this battle.
This… should be the result that old General Cui Shanzhong wants most.
Li Tianjiao must have found old General Cui Shanzhong a long time ago. From that time on, the two of them had been planning the situation to surround her like today. Later, when news came that Li Tianjiao had asked old General Cui Shanzhong, who was over 80 years old, to come out and lead the troops, it seemed that old General Cui Shanzhong had already set off at that time.
General Cui Shanzhong is an old veteran who has fought against the Bai family army before. I’m afraid that General Cui Shanzhong deliberately told Li Tianjiao to put on a show after he set out!
It was too late for the Great Zhou to get General Cui’s military flag hung on the city of Yunjing.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty is in the city now. We must send someone to Yecheng Pass immediately to report the news and ask for help!” Wei Zhong was very calm in the face of the situation. “No, I will escort Your Majesty out of the city and head to Yecheng Pass right now!”
“If I leave the city now, I’m afraid I’ll be captured alive by General Cui’s ambush troops and become a burden for the Great Zhou’s attack on Yunjing!” Bai Qingyan was silent for a moment, and in a split second, he made up his mind. He raised his eyes with a firm look and spoke in a sonorous voice, “Where are the Bai family’s secret guards?”
Upon hearing Bai Qingyan’s order, the Bai family’s secret guards hiding in the dark appeared one after another, and the leading team knelt down and saluted: “Miss!”
“Send someone to leave the city from the south gate. If they reach Yechengguan, have General Yang guard the gate of Yechengguan and don’t rush to rescue the emperor! Have General Yang send someone to Tanggu to tell the fourth lady and General Shen Kunyang to come to rescue the emperor. Be sure to avoid places where ambushes are likely to be set up. Go for safety rather than speed!”
“Yes!” the team leader ordered.
Before Bai Qing finished speaking, he continued, “Then, head straight to Yunjing to inform the Second Miss, the Third Young Master, the Fourth Young Master, and the Fifth Young Master. I will tie up the main force of Xiliang in Jiangzi City and the air defense of Yunjing, so that they don’t have to worry. We must do our best to capture Yunjing and capture Li Tianjiao alive, and then rush to Jiangzi City to help. Also, we must avoid places where ambushes are easy to set up. Go for safety rather than speed!”
After Bai Qingyan finished speaking, he looked towards the team leader of the Bai family’s secret guards: “But if you can’t reach Yecheng Pass, you will encounter an ambush. Don’t resist, just surrender and save your life! If the enemy asks me what order I want to pass on, tell them that I sent someone to Yecheng Pass for help! Remember this?”
“I will go there myself!” said the leader of the secret guard team, clasping his fists.
The team leader was also from the Bai family army. He understood why Bai Qingyan only sent one person to deliver the order.
If the Xiliang army deliberately left the south gate exposed in order to send someone to Yechengguan to report the news so as to set up an ambush for the Great Zhou army coming to support them, then in order to make the play look real enough they would have to pretend to fight and then send someone to report the news.
If they wanted to trap Gyantse City and capture their eldest daughter alive, they would have to capture one of the informants alive so that they could find out the situation in the city.
Therefore, if only one person is sent out, the chances of survival will be greater no matter what.
“Send an order, have the general guarding the city close the city gates…” Bai Qingyan walked out of the mansion, “Have someone prepare the horses, I’ll go check out a few city gates!”
