Chapter 1197 Failed to Complete
As for those who confessed honestly, the Great Zhou army had a very good attitude. They said that they would be taken to the prison first and their deeds had been recorded. In view of their voluntary confession, they would be released after the matter was over so that they could rest assured. The people thanked the Great Zhou soldiers profusely and left.
Soon, problems were found in more and more families, and many people with problems who had not returned home were also found in Gyantse City. Naturally, some of them were civilians who did not have time to return home, and some… were Xiliang soldiers with some skills. The news was always sent to Liu Pinggao as quickly as possible, and after Liu Pinggao sorted it out, he sent it to Bai Qingyan’s desk.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Qingyan was sitting at his desk looking at the map of Gyantse City and the large map of the area around Gyantse City. He was thinking about how to fight the next battle when he heard a report from outside… saying that General Cui Shanzhong had arrived at the city and requested to meet the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
Liu Pinggao frowned and looked at Bai Qingyan and said, “If Your Majesty plans to go out of the city to meet General Cui Shanzhong, I will accompany Your Majesty!”
“How many Xiliang spies who sneaked into the city have been captured?” Bai Qingyan asked.
“Your Majesty, so far, forty-one have been captured alive and twenty-seven have died!” Liu Pinggao said.
The main reason was that Bai Qingyan gave the order in a timely manner, so the spies were caught off guard. The people of Xiliang were afraid that if they led the spies into the city, they would be held responsible, and if the investigation led to their homes… they would confess. Some of the Xiliang spies were captured alive before they could even leave their homes.
Later, Li Jiang, a general of the Great Zhou army who was investigating the refugees, deliberately spread the news that the Xiliang spies, in order to conceal their identities and avoid being betrayed, simply killed the Xiliang people who covered their way into the city.
When the people heard this, they became even more frightened. They dared not keep the Xiliang spies, whom they had never met before, at home just for a little money, so they sold out those Xiliang soldiers one after another.
Although everyone has money, they need a life to spend it.
Bai Qingyan sneered: “I didn’t expect that General Cui has deployed so many people in Jiangzi City! Let’s continue to investigate… I’m afraid there are more.”
“Yes! Then… Your Majesty, would you like to bring everyone with you?” Liu Pinggao asked.
“Take the body with you!” Bai Qingyan said.
“yes!”

Old General Cui Shanzhong had already dismounted, with a cushion under his knees. Beside him were two little boys, one holding a lantern and the other holding tea sets. Behind them were two Xiliang generals leading horses.
Old General Cui Shanzhong looked up at the towering walled city of Gyantse. His face, with its brown age spots and wrinkles around the eyes, had a solemn expression. His gray hair was tied up on top of his head and his beard was blown flying.
Thirty years later, he went into battle again, but he did not expect that the first city he would fight would be their Xiliang’s Gyantse City.
Soon, the gate of Gyantse City slowly opened, and Bai Qingyan, riding a white horse, dressed in ordinary girl’s clothes and wearing a fox fur cloak, slowly walked out.
The Xiliang general behind the old general Cui Shanzhong saw that there seemed to be a group of people following Bai Qingyan, and he immediately became alert.
A Xiliang general walked up to the old general, knelt on one knee and said, “Old general, it seems that the Great Zhou has brought troops here. They are not friendly, so why not withdraw first…”
Cui Shanzhong raised his withered hand and waved it: “This Great Zhou Emperor is a descendant of the Bai family. He would never use underhanded tactics when I ask for an audience. This is the character of a general, and it is also the pride of the Bai family.”
When the Xiliang general heard what General Cui Shanzhong said, he gritted his teeth, stood up and stepped aside.
This time, it is the last gamble for Xiliang. It can be said that they are mobilizing the whole country. If they fail, the country will be destroyed. The general of Xiliang is very worried, fearing that the old general Cui Shanzhong will be killed here before the battle even starts.
Seeing that Bai Qingyan was followed by a general and a eunuch, and followed by the soldiers of the Great Zhou, carrying something, he gritted his teeth and whispered to his colleagues beside him: “Go back and pass the order, let the archers prepare. If there is really any change, follow my orders and make sure to protect General Cui!”
“Yes!” The general took the order and quietly turned back to the army.
When General Cui saw Bai Qingyan riding a white horse slowly approaching, he smiled and asked the child to help him up.
The boy holding the lamp hurried forward and helped up the old general Cui Shanzhong, whose back was trembling and he could not straighten up.
Bai Qingyan dismounted and saw General Cui Shanzhong clasping his fists and saluting towards Bai Qingyan: “Greetings to the Emperor of Great Zhou!”
Bai Qingyan was not arrogant either. He clasped his hands together and saluted General Cui Shanzhong: “General, you are over eighty years old. You stood up when Xiliang was in trouble. I admire you!”
When General Cui looked at Bai Qingyan, it was as if he saw Baiqi Mountain. The Bai family had such character. Fighting was fighting… but the Bai family never hesitated to show their admiration and praise to the enemy generals!
When General Cui saw the soldiers and corpses being escorted behind Bai Qingyan, he realized that these were probably the ambush troops he had placed in Gyantse City in advance. Judging from the number… he was afraid that more than half of them had been captured by Bai Qingyan.
To fight against the Bai family, one must be extremely prepared.
“The Emperor of Great Zhou, please come up!” General Cui held the boy’s hand and made a gesture of invitation to Bai Qingyan, then ordered the general standing beside him, “Go and bring the person up!”
Bai Qingyan looked at the cushion that General Cui Shanzhong had prepared for her in advance, smiled, held Wei Zhong’s hand and sat down.
General Cui also sat down and said to Bai Qing with a smile: “Your Majesty, now our Xiliang army of 60,000 is besieging the city. I know that Your Majesty is pregnant now, and I also know that our Xiliang is just struggling to survive. Why don’t we just not fight this battle? Your Majesty, let the main force of the Great Zhou withdraw and don’t attack Yunjing. The cities currently occupied by the Great Zhou are offered to us by Xiliang with both hands, and the people will no longer force them to take them. The two countries should stop fighting, okay? After all, Yun Poxing is dead now, Your Majesty, please forgive him when you can!”
Bai Qingyan’s brows had a very faint smile, which flickered under the light of the lantern in Wei Zhong’s hand, but his eyes were clear and tough, deep and calm, and there was no sign of fear in them.
“I’m afraid General Cui doesn’t understand the main reason why the Great Zhou sent troops to Xiliang this time…” Bai Qingyan’s voice was slow, not loud, and full of respect for General Cui Shanzhong.
“Isn’t it for revenge for the Bai family?” asked old general Cui Shanzhong.
Bai Qingyan did not shake her head. She looked at General Cui steadily and said, “General Cui, the Great Zhou sent troops to Xiliang… for revenge, but also to unify the world and realize the peaceful country that my ancestors of the Bai family hoped for! Now that the great cause has not been completed, how dare Bai Qingyan retreat for her own safety? If so… how can I be worthy of my ancestors of the Bai family?”
