Chapter 222 Handle
The prince felt more and more relieved when he saw Bai Qingyan. He nodded, took the military token and said, “Quan Yu, help General Bai up!”
“General Bai, please stand up!” Quan Yumangxu helped Bai Qingyan to sit down, and knelt beside him to make tea for Bai Qingyan.
“Eunuch Quan Yu, please don’t bother. I won’t drink the tea! Yan came to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for three things. In addition to returning the military token, the second thing is about the remaining 10,000 Bai family soldiers…”
After listening to Bai Qing talking about the Bai family army, the prince adjusted his sitting posture, rubbed his fingers lightly, and acted as if he was listening attentively.
After discussion between the Crown Prince and Old Fang, they decided to let the Bai family army take over the city ceded by Xiliang in this peace negotiation. Of course… the closer to Xiliang and the farther away from Bai Qingyan and the Bai family, the better. This way, Bai Qingyan would be able to follow him wholeheartedly without any reliance.
“My suggestion is to let the remaining Bai family soldiers guard Tonggu Mountain!”
Upon hearing Bai Qingyan’s words, the prince, who was thinking about how to tell Bai Qingyan to let the Bai family army guard Tonggu Mountain, was stunned for a moment.
“After this peace negotiation, the area north of Tonggu Mountain is all the territory of Jin State. Only the Bai Family Army can guard Tonggu Mountain to deter Xiliang.” Bai Qingyan spoke slowly, as if he was only considering Jin State and the Crown Prince. “Generals Wei Zhaonian, Gu Wenchang, Shen Kunyang, and Cheng Yuanzhi each have their own strengths. General Wei Zhaonian and General Gu Wenchang are both good at training soldiers. General Wei Zhaonian can be transferred to guard Bailong City, and General Gu Wenchang can guard Zhongshan City. As long as Jin State can recuperate for a few years… the two generals will definitely train another group of brave warriors for Jin State and the Crown Prince! After the two generals go to Bailong City and Zhongshan City respectively, the Crown Prince can send his direct generals to guard these two cities with the two generals. General Wei Zhaonian and General Gu Wenchang will be responsible for training the soldiers, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s direct generals will be in charge of the soldiers! In this way… this group of elites will be used by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future! When the time is right in the future and the Crown Prince wants to take over the world, the sharp soldiers will follow him wherever the sword points!”
When the prince heard Bai Qingyan say this, his heart suddenly started beating violently.
The candlelight flickered in the carriage. The prince looked at Bai Qingyan, who was calmly and methodically arranging the generals of the Bai family army, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
He was on guard against Bai Qingyan in every way, but Bai Qingyan…was always thinking about him and even wanted to train soldiers for him!
She watched the change in the prince’s eyes, and said in a low voice without making a sound, “General Shen Kunyang and General Cheng Yuanzhi will lead the Bai family army to guard Tonggu Mountain together, so as to prevent the counterattack of Xiliang. With these two most combat-savvy generals, Tonggu Mountain will be safe! If the prince thinks it is feasible, he will send someone to Fengcheng to invite Generals Shen Kunyang, Cheng Yuanzhi, Wei Zhaonian, and Gu Wenchang to come, so as to put pressure on Xiliang… Let the Bai family army hand over to the Xiliang army as soon as possible, and send our army to garrison there. After all, we can only feel at ease if we have the city in our hands.”
She suggested to the prince that Shen Kunyang and Cheng Yuanzhi lead the Bai family army to guard the remote Tonggu Mountain, and let Wei Zhaonian and Gu Wenchang guard Zhongshan City and Bailong City respectively. It seemed that the purpose was to divide the generals of the Bai family army, but in fact… to turn the area connected by these three places into a place for the Bai family to raise and train troops.
The prince nodded continuously as he listened to Bai Qingyan’s analysis: “General Bai is right. Then send someone to invite the four generals immediately.”
After saying that, the prince looked up at Bai Qingyan again and whispered, “But it’s not impossible for you to lead the Bai Family Army yourself. I said… trust you as much as you trust me!”
The prince sounded a little guilty about his last words.
Bai Qingyan lowered his quiet eyes and said solemnly: “Your Highness, you know about Yan’s health! Your Highness is determined to rule the world, Yan… I can only do my best to arrange a few things for Your Highness! After returning to Dadu, Yan will go back to Shuoyang, and the Bai family army should be handed over to Your Highness, so that it can be used for Your Highness’s ambitions! Of course… Yan still said that as long as Your Highness needs it… the people need it, Yan will go through fire and water and die without hesitation!”
The ministers were so loyal to him that not only the crown prince, but even Quan Yu who was standing by was moved to the point of having his eyes turn red.
“General Bai, you are so loyal! I am deeply touched!” The prince bowed to Bai Qingyan sincerely.
“It’s just my duty. I dare not bow to you as if you were the Crown Prince!” Bai Qingyan hurriedly returned the greeting.
Seeing that the time was right, she then said, “For the third matter, Yan… is here to apologize to the prince!”
“What do you mean, General Bai?” The prince sat up straight.
“Today in the peace negotiation tent, Xiliang Yan Wang Li Zhijie first wanted to send Xiliang Princess back to Qiushan Pass. Seeing that it was not going to work, he said that he wanted to negotiate peace again tomorrow. Your Highness the Crown Prince did not allow it. During the negotiation, he falsely accused Your Highness of arranging maids to sneak into the peace negotiation tent and kill their Xiliang soldiers… intending to discuss the peace negotiation another day! Just as Your Highness the Crown Prince said… Today’s appointment time was set by Xiliang Yan Wang! But Xiliang is so fickle, we have to be on guard! So Yan sent his fourth sister Bai Jinzhi to take a few Tiger Eagle Camp elite soldiers to Qiushan Pass to investigate Xiliang’s movements!”
The prince’s brows tightened, thinking of this matter, he also felt that it was very strange. Thinking of Bai Qingyan’s loyalty, the prince did not doubt him: “General Bai is thinking about my safety, I will not blame General Bai! It’s just… after all, the alliance has just been signed. If the fourth lady Bai goes to explore Qiushan Pass and is caught by Xiliang, it will be bad for our Jin country!”
She frowned and pretended to blame herself, saying, “What the prince said is absolutely right! But… Princess Xiliang and King Yan will be returning to the capital with Your Highness soon. For the sake of the prince’s safety, we should find out more about it so that Yan can feel at ease!”
When the prince heard Bai Qingyan said it was for his safety, he felt touched and relieved.
“This matter is a case of being too concerned and confused… I was too reckless. To make up for it, I hope the Crown Prince will allow me to lead a small team to quietly go to Qiushan Pass to pick up my fourth sister, so as to avoid being caught by Xiliang!”
The prince hesitated for a moment, then agreed: “Okay, General Bai, go quickly and come back quickly! Don’t delay on the road! It would be best if you can get some information, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t! Make sure you get out of here safely.”
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I will bring a dozen elite soldiers from the Tiger Eagle Camp with me. We will go there quietly, find the fourth sister, and then leave quietly. We will never cause any trouble for the crown prince.” Bai Qingyan said.
After getting the Crown Prince’s approval, Bai Qingyan exited the carriage, rode his horse to the front of the team, reined in his horse and said to General Zhang Duanrui, “The Crown Prince has ordered that Generals Shen Kunyang, Cheng Yuanzhi, Wei Zhaonian, and Gu Wenchang come to Youhua Road immediately! General Zhang… I have another mission and will go ahead. Please, General Zhang, escort the Crown Prince back to Youhua Road first!”
Zhang Duanrui clasped his fists and said yes, then immediately ordered his messengers to rush to Fengcheng on horseback.
Bai Qingyan went to the Tiger Eagle Camp first and selected sixty Tiger Eagle Camp warriors and bone whistle messengers, and followed her to Qiushan Pass to meet Shen Qingzhu and others.
