Chapter 187 God’s Will
“Little White Handsome!”
I don’t know who was the first to notice Bai Qingyan and shouted.
When the wounded soldiers of the Bai family army heard that General Xiaobai had arrived, those who were still treating their wounds could no longer sit still. They stood up in surprise and joy and looked in the direction of Bai Qingyan.
“Little Baishuai!” Cheng Yuanzhi also stood up and hurriedly wrapped his naked body with clothes.
She looked at the blood-soaked Bai family soldiers in the wounded camp, and raised her hand to signal everyone to sit down: “Bai Qingyan is only here to inform you that tonight Bai Qingyan will lead two thousand Bai family soldiers to take back the head of my Bai family army deputy commander…! Tomorrow morning, those who are slightly injured will follow me to take Tianmen Pass, and then take Fengcheng! Everyone, rest assured and recover from your injuries, so as to prepare for the battle tomorrow!”
After saying that, Bai Qingyan bowed to the injured soldiers and turned to walk out of the tent.
“Little General Bai!” Wei Zhaonian chased out and clasped his fists, saying, “Wei Zhaonian is willing to go to the Xiliang military camp with Little General Bai to take back the head of my Bai Family Army’s deputy commander!”
Bai Qingyan looked at Wei Zhaonian with a calm expression. Although Wei Zhaonian had lost an eye, he still had a strong desire for revenge in his heart.
She clasped her fists and said, “Then I will ask General Wei to bring my fourth sister Bai Jinzhi and 1,800 soldiers to prepare an ambush at Huiping Road in advance. Once I and 200 elite soldiers have retrieved my deputy commander’s head and pass through Huiping Road, we will intercept the Xiliang pursuers!”
Wei Zhaonian’s eyelids jumped. He actually…only brought two hundred people to break into the camp? !
“General Xiaobai, is it inappropriate to bring only two hundred people?!” Wei Zhaonian was worried.
“I know what I’m doing, General Wei, don’t worry!” Bai Qing said.
Wei Zhaonian stopped arguing and clasped his fists in agreement. After watching Bai Qingyan leave, he thought for a moment and immediately turned around and ordered people to prepare kerosene and arrows and crossbows. He planned to use the same method against the Xiliang soldiers.
Two thousand Bai family soldiers left Wengcheng under the cover of night and happened to meet General Zhang Duanrui who was clearing the battlefield in Wengshan Gorge and leading the Jin army back to Wengcheng.
Zhang Duanrui saw the Bai family army leaving the city wall, and hurried over on horseback. Seeing that the leader was Bai Qingyan, he asked, “General Bai, are we going to attack Tianmen Pass now?!”
“General Zhang, please take your troops back to Wengcheng for rest. When I return, we will set out for Tianmen Pass when it is light!” Bai Qing said.
Zhang Duanrui clasped his fists and said yes. He sat on his horse and watched the soldiers holding black sails and white python flags head straight for Tianmen Pass and disappear into the night.

Xiao Rongyan, who had bypassed Pingyang City and returned to the border of Dayan, was now standing on a high mountain in Linchuan, looking at the red light that was lighting up in the eastern sky, and guessed that it should be the direction of Wengshan.
“Master, your uncle is here!” Xiao Rongyan’s guards came up from the foot of the mountain and bowed to Xiao Rongyan.
“knew!”
Xiao Rongyan responded and walked down the mountain.
All the way down the mountain… he was thinking.
Now that Jin, Southern Yan and Western Liang are in chaos, is it time for Dayan to take action?
Last year, Dayan suffered a series of natural disasters. In the dead of winter, the people were starving and many died of freezing and starvation.
But…if we don’t take advantage of this chaos among the Three Kingdoms to capture Southern Yan, which was separated from Dayan, we don’t know if there will be such a good opportunity in the future.
When Xiao Rongyan came down from the mountain, he saw a white-haired old man in a black jacket bowing to him in high spirits. He was so excited that he said, “Young Master! It’s been many years since we last met… How are you?”
This old man had no beard and his voice was relatively thin, so he was obviously a eunuch in the palace.
This person is Feng Yao, the eunuch who once served Queen Ji. When Queen Ji died in the sea of fire, it was Feng Yao who escaped with the seven-year-old Xiao Rongyan in his arms. Later, Feng Yao followed Queen Ji’s eldest son… the current Emperor of Dayan, and was extremely loyal to him.
“Uncle…” Xiao Rongyan returned the greeting to Feng Yao and asked, “Brother, are you feeling well? Are you still having dizziness?”
Feng Yao sighed and shook his head. His eyes were red and he wiped his eyes with his sleeves before he said, “There is no minister who can govern the country. Your Majesty has to do everything himself. This year, Dayan is in such a bad situation again… The people are living in misery. Your Majesty was already very thin before this old servant came here!”
Xiao Rongyan clenched his fists in his sleeves and gritted his teeth: “Let brother hold on for a while longer, I will definitely find a miracle doctor for you! A minister who can govern the country… I will also find one!”
“Hey!” Feng Yao responded and hurriedly took out a military token from his arms and handed it to Xiao Rongyan, “Your Majesty asked me to come here specially this time so that I can give this to the young master! The new army trained by Xie Xun has achieved some results. Now the young master is traveling in Jin State. If he encounters any danger, he can use this military token to mobilize the new army trained in the Linchuan Mountains, at least to protect the young master and return home safely! His Majesty said that nothing is more important than the safety of the young master!”
Under the flickering torches, Xiao Rongyan’s deep and dark eyes flickered. He looked at the military token held in Feng Yao’s hand. His pupils became darker, and emotions seemed to surge in his chest. He tightly clenched the jade cicada in his hand.
Is this God’s will?!
He was just thinking about whether he could take advantage of this opportunity to take back Southern Yan when his uncle sent him the military order, and Xie Xun was training new troops in the Linchuan Mountains where he was.
It was Xiao Rongyan’s idea to let Xie Xun, an unknown and unknown person, train the new army, but he didn’t expect… his brother would let Xie Xun train the new soldiers here in Linchuan.
Xiao Rongyan took the military token and asked again: “How many new soldiers does Xie Xun train in the Linchuan Mountains?!”
“Thirty thousand.” Feng Yao said.
Thirty thousand…
This was far beyond Xiao Rongyan’s expectations. His throat tightened up and he turned to his subordinates behind him and said, “Get the map!”
The subordinate hurriedly took out the map and spread it on the seat of the carriage, then took a torch and held it high.
Xiao Rongyan lowered his eyes and looked at the map. Before he set out from Wanping, he received news that the Emperor of Southern Yan had ordered… that the Southern Yan army that had already occupied Fengxian should stay in Fengxian firmly. When it came time to negotiate peace, Southern Yan would negotiate terms with Western Liang and ask Western Liang to exchange Fengcheng for Fengxian. After all, Fengxian had always been a place that Western Liang wanted, but Fengcheng was a place that both Western Liang and Southern Yan wanted.
The Emperor of Southern Yan has ordered the country to raise food and fodder and send them to Fengxian County so that the Southern Yan army can survive the winter.
Xiao Rongyan moved his finger towards the location of Yaoguan on the map and clicked on it. If Southern Yan’s food and supplies wanted to go to Fengxian… they had to pass Yaoguan quickly!
He handed the military token in his hand back to Feng Yao and said, “Uncle, you take the military token… Order Xie Xun to lead the new army, hold high the white python flag of the Bai family army with black sails… set up an ambush at Yaoguan, and seize the food and grass that Southern Yan is escorting to Fengxian County in Jin! Then… 30,000 soldiers will hide on the spot at Yaoguan, and continue to set up ambushes. Within four days, the Southern Yan army attacking Jin will flee back to the country in a panic, and will still have to pass Yaoguan! Order Xie Xun to make preparations early and make sure to… annihilate the elite troops of Southern Yan at Yaoguan, and leave no one alive!”
Letting Xie Xun hold high the black sail and white python flag of the Bai family army to seize the food and grass of Southern Yan was to use the power of the Bai family army to temporarily cover up the eyes and ears of Southern Yan so that Southern Yan would not be on guard against Dayan.
