The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 204: retreat
Chapter 204 Backing Out
“If you finish eating this box of snacks here, and wait for the news that Xiliang’s grain has been robbed, I am a member of the Bai family, and I will keep my word.” She looked at Yun Poxing indifferently, “But if you don’t know how to appreciate it, this will be your burial place today.”
Yun Poxing struggled to his death and said angrily: “Bai Qingyan and his two armies are at war, and I came here in person to negotiate peace. If you dare to kill me, aren’t you afraid of the world’s gossip?!”
Bai Qingyan’s face was clear, and he chuckled and said, “I killed tens of thousands of Xiliang captives who surrendered in Wengshan. Do you think… I would be afraid of the gossip of the people?!”
Yun Poxing closed his eyes.
The troops of both sides were still on guard. Silence broke through and spread between Xing Bai and Qing Yan, leaving only the noisy sound of the rushing river.
Not long after, a fast horse came out from the direction of the Xiliang army camp and ran to the bank of the Jing River, but Yun Poxing was nowhere to be seen. He looked around in confusion, and glanced at the horseshoe prints left in the wetlands by the river. Then he galloped westward with great uncertainty. After running for a few miles, the Xiliang soldier indeed saw Yun Poxing.
“Commander! Commander…” The Xiliang soldier came on fast horses, and when he reached the south bank of the Jing River, he saw that the two sides were on the verge of a fight. He was so frightened that he dared not speak a word, and did not dare to cross the river.
“I think he has something urgent to discuss with you, so he asked him to come over… You’d better listen to what it is about!” Bai Qingyan looked at Yun Poxing with a smile and spoke.
Yun Poxing knew that since his soldiers had come, they either… brought news of food being robbed, and they should leave together! Or they should tell him what news they had, and then wait with him for news of food being robbed, otherwise they would die.
Yun Poxing had no other way, so he raised his hand to let someone come over.
The Xiliang soldier rode across the river on horseback and was about to whisper something in Yun Poxing’s ear, but he heard Yun Poxing say, “Whatever the news is, speak it out loud!”
The Xiliang soldier who delivered the message raised his head and glanced at Bai Qingyan who was riding on horseback and looking down at him. Then he whispered, “Nanyan sent troops to ask for help. They said… they were ambushed at Yaoguan last night! Please send troops to rescue them.”
Remote access…
Bai Qingyan’s eyes were as calm as usual. If he was still in Yaoguan, it meant that… Xiao Rongyan really wanted to take Nanyan back in advance.
Hearing this news, Yun Poxing suddenly felt that he was old.
He thought that after killing all of Bai Weiting’s descendants, he would no longer be afraid of the Bai family army, but as fate would have it, an even more powerful Bai Qingyan came.
He underestimated his enemy, but he didn’t underestimate his enemy… He didn’t know whether he could beat Bai Qingyan.
It is said that the Bai family is stronger from generation to generation. Bai Weiting’s generation is the heyday of the Bai family. This is indeed true! Bai Weiting’s granddaughter is so powerful, fortunately… This time someone cooperated with him to kill all of Bai Weiting’s children and grandchildren. Otherwise, the generals of the Jin State that Xiliang will face in the future will be too terrible.
Thinking of this, Yun Poxing felt less pain and regret over the death of his children and grandson. Although his son and grandson died… the backbone of the enemy country, Da Jin, was broken, so this expedition was not a disastrous defeat.
He opened his eyes and looked at Bai Qingyan, but… if this girl from the Bai family was still alive, it would be a great disaster for Xiliang!
In a flash, Yun Poxing came up with a plan.
If, if Bai Qingyan didn’t die this time, he could only wait for a meeting with Bai Qingyan three years later, hoping that by then he would have been able to understand Bai Qingyan’s way of marching and fighting.
“It seems that General Yun wants to attack our military camp at night!” Bai Qingyan saw the light in Yun Poxing’s eyes and a smile on the corners of his lips, and saw that Yun Poxing’s face was dark blue.
“Is what I am thinking… so obvious?” Yun Poxing was not annoyed, but asked very seriously.
“Yes, the look in your eyes when you looked at me changed, from dejected to full of energy! You must have thought of a way to kill me, and you probably felt that only if I died, the Great Jin would not be a threat to Xiliang.” Bai Qingyan looked at him, his eyes dark and deep, yet bright and flexible, his voice slow and a bit arrogant, “But are you sure that if you kill me, the Jin State will no longer have any capable people? You thought that if you killed all the men in the Bai family… the Jin State would not be a threat, but you let hundreds of thousands of Xiliang’s elite soldiers die at the hands of a loser like me!”
Xiao Ruojiang was quite surprised. It was not the girl’s style to kick someone when he was down, and it was even less so to be arrogant. But why did the girl say such things to Yun Poxing?
Yun Poxing pursed his lips and said nothing.
By the time Yunpo’s camp sent someone to report, all the food and supplies had been burned.
Yun Poxing looked at Bai Qingyan with eyes that made him wish he could tear her apart, but he could not do anything to Bai Qingyan at all and sat dejectedly on the horse’s back.
In addition to food and fodder, a large number of bows and arrows were also transported this time…
The last time, the bows and arrows of the Xiliang military camp were burned by Bai Qingyan and his men. Yun Poxing sought help from Xiliang while borrowing arrows from Nanyan for emergency use… But Nanyan refused to lend them.
He finally waited for the bows and arrows and food supplies mobilized from the country to be shipped here, but Bai Qingyan wanted to rob the food supplies and trapped him here!
He had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping to at least save a batch of bows and arrows, but Bai Qingyan burned them again!
Did God have to make things so difficult for him?!
On Bai Qingyan’s side, Shen Liangyu and Bai Jinzhi came to report that the feather arrows sent from Xiliang were also burned. Bai Qingyan raised his eyebrows, then ordered his men to collect the bows and arrows and ride away on horseback.
Yun Poxing sat on the horse’s back, not moving for a long while, and sneered…
So young people can’t keep their cool! If it was him… if he knew that the other party was going to attack his camp at night, he would let them act without saying anything, and he would set up a trap early, and as soon as they rushed into the camp, he would make sure they would never return.
Bai Qingyan had won several battles and thought she had taken care of everything, so she looked down on him. Tonight, he would teach Bai Qingyan what it meant to be old and wise!
Yun Poxing rode his horse quickly back to the military camp and looked in the direction of the Jin army camp. He could vaguely see his son’s head hanging high. He swore to get his son’s head back tonight.

In the tent of the Jin general.
After Bai Qingyan hung up the Sun-shooting Bow, he turned around and shouted, “Call all the generals over.”
Bai Jinzhi felt strange and asked, “What happened to my elder sister?”
“Yun Poxing is going to attack the camp tonight.” Bai Qing said.
Xiao Ruojiang was slightly startled, and the doubts in his heart were suddenly resolved. Just now, the elder girl deliberately made Yun Poxing’s intention clear, and deliberately spoke to Yun Poxing in such a arrogant tone. It turned out that she wanted Yun Poxing to think that she could not be so frivolous because she had won a few battles.
So no matter what happens tonight, Yun Poxing will attack the camp.
Yun Poxing was exposed by the girl with such a proud look, and she might think that the girl had fought a few battles and was arrogant… She no longer took him seriously, so she exposed him on the spot. Most people would back down after their plans were exposed.
Please, please, please, please give me a monthly ticket…
