The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 436: Martial law
Chapter 436 Military Law Disposition
Xun Tianzhang’s son heard that the Jin army was defeated and had fled towards Youhua City. He couldn’t help feeling sorry for the situation. Originally, flooding Longyang City would surely destroy most of the Jin army’s forces.
However, if there is no way to flood Longyang City, when the army sets out for Youhua City, they will encounter the Jin army which has recovered its strength and will have to fight a fierce battle again.
“Little General Bai from the Bai Family Army…” Zhao Sheng, who rode his horse slowly into the city with Xun Tianzhang’s son, sneered and wiped the rain off his face, “Nothing more than this! They were beaten and fled!”
Xun Tianzhang’s son asked Zhao Sheng: “Have you found Zhao Tong?”
“The Zhao family army has gone to look for Zhao Tong. They should be here soon! They fled in such a panic that they definitely won’t be able to take Zhao Tong away in time!”
As soon as Zhao Sheng finished speaking, a centurion of the Zhao family army came quickly, knelt on one knee and said, “General, I found General Zhao Tong. General Zhao Tong was… was…”
Zhao Sheng’s heart tightened, he dismounted, grabbed the Zhao family army captain and asked, “What happened to my brother?!”
Xun Tianzhang’s son also dismounted: “Don’t be in a hurry!”
“General Zhao Tong was interrogated by the Jin army…using the interrogation method created by General Zhao! Descendants…”
Before the man finished speaking, Zhao Sheng kicked the centurion in the chest. The centurion quickly stood up, holding his chest, and knelt on one knee on the ground: “I am incompetent!”
Zhao Sheng gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and hated Bai Qingyan in his heart.
What does the ancestral root mean to a man? How could Zhao Sheng, who is also a man, not know it?
He stepped forward in the rain, gnashed his teeth and asked, “How many people know about this?!”
“General, only the six of us who went to the prison to rescue General Zhao Tong know about this!”
Zhao Sheng squatted down, stared at the captain with hawk-like eyes and said, “Go back and tell the other five that if this gets out, I will kill them!”
“Yes!” The centurion of the Zhao family army hurriedly nodded his head and said yes.
“Take me there!” Zhao Sheng stood up and said.
Xun Tianzhang’s son watched Zhao Sheng riding away on horseback in a hurry to save his brother. He pursed his lips and went up to the city wall in the rain. Looking at the Liang army in the city searching for treasures everywhere and breaking into the city, he felt that the Liang army should change this habit!
He raised his hand and stroked the bricks and stones of the wall of Longyang City. He always felt that it was better not to flood Longyang City. Their Liang army was not here to fight and leave. After that, Longyang City would be their Liang State’s city. It also avoided that Liang State would waste a lot of manpower and resources to rebuild Longyang City!
He patted the bricks and stones of the tower that had been washed clean by the rain, turned around and ordered: “Go back and tell the commander-in-chief that our army has captured Longyang City! Commander, please enter the city!”
“yes!”

Tianlan Mountain is located between Longyang City and Youhua City.
Moreover, the terrain becomes higher and higher as you go from Longyang City to Tianlan Mountain. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the Dragon Mother’s wrath can stop Tianlan Mountain. As long as you reach Tianlan Mountain, you don’t have to worry about flooding.
Bai Qingyan and Liu Hong sent part of the troops back to Tianlan Mountain, collected nearby ships early, and waited quietly between Tianlan Mountain and Longyang City.
That night, the heavy rain continued without stopping.
After today’s battle, Xun Tianzhang, who was already exhausted, felt even worse. He moved into the Longyang City County Government Office, but was still worried that the Longmu River would cause floods.
“Don’t worry, father. It’s raining too hard tonight. It’s not suitable to stay outside the city!” Xun Tianzhang’s son came over with medicine and whispered, “Tomorrow morning, our army will set out for Youhua City! Even if there is a flood, it won’t be so soon! Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about our Liang army soldiers! Listen, they are still searching for treasures outside! If you give the order to retreat now, who would be willing?”
Xun Tianzhang took the medicine from his son, nodded, and reminded him, “Send some more people to guard the river bank and canal. If there is any loosening, we will withdraw in advance!”
The heavy rain could not extinguish the enthusiasm of Liang army in searching for treasure. There was a heated discussion outside. Some of them compared what they had snatched, while others asked if anything had been found in Xiao’s house.
Xun Tianzhang heard someone laughing and shouting that General Cheng had almost destroyed the walls of Xiao’s house and was looking for the secret room!
Some people also jokingly shouted: “Why bother with the treasures in the Xiao residence?! When the commander gives the order to take them, you will have worked in vain!”
“Fuck you! Our coach is not such a greedy person!”
Xun Tianzhang’s personal soldiers were guarding outside the government office, but such noisy laughter and scolding could still be heard.
Xun Tianzhang felt uneasy sitting in the government office…
The Jin army had indeed fled, leaving their weapons and armor behind. What else was there for him to worry about?
“What a pity this time!” Xun Tianzhang’s son sighed, “I forgot that the Jin army is not the Bai family army. They will abandon the city and flee! If it were the Bai family army, they would definitely defend Longyang City to the death. When the water floods Longyang City, no one can escape!”
“I feel uneasy… I always feel that with Bai Qingyan around, she will never abandon the city and flee so easily. She… is Bai Weiting’s eldest granddaughter! Even Bai Weiting has praised her for her talent as a general!” Xun Tianzhang clenched his fists.
“No matter how powerful they are, these are all Jin troops, not their Bai family troops! Besides… the commander this time is Liu Hong. Can Liu Hong listen to a little girl like her?” Xun Tianzhang’s son reassured Xun Tianzhang, “Father, don’t forget, our spies said that the Emperor of Jin should really dislike this Zhen Guo Princess Bai Qingyan. With the temperament of the Emperor of Jin who can’t tolerate even a loyal minister like Bai Weiting, how can he tolerate Bai Qingyan who acts recklessly in front of him to make more military achievements?”
Xun Tianzhang nodded.
“Moreover, the Jin army was determined not to retreat until they died in the battle. Later, they probably felt that the situation was hopeless, so they threw away their weapons and ran away! Father, don’t think too much! Have a good rest. If the rain doesn’t stop tomorrow, we will have to march out in the rain and you will be exhausted!”
Xun Tianzhang nodded: “Go and tell our soldiers that it has been raining heavily for several days, so we should set out tomorrow to prevent Longyang City from being flooded! No matter how late we search tonight, anyone who delays tomorrow will be punished by military law!”
“yes!”
Xun Tianzhang listened to the sound of heavy rain outside, suppressed his anxiety, and lay down with the help of his son to rest.
It’s late at night.
Bai Qingyan and Fu Ruoxi led the Jin army to stand on high ground. Even though the visibility was extremely low in the heavy rain, they could still see the bright spots of fire in Longyang City from where they stood.
Seeing this, the Jin army knew that the Liang army was probably enjoying their treasure hunt.
The soldiers of the Jin army no longer looked like they had thrown away their weapons and armor in the city today. They stood with their backs straight in the rain, ready to go, with murderous intent in their eyes.
Bai Qingyan has sent a thousand people to Longmu River to kill the Liang army stationed on the dam and canal, and dig up the dam and canal.
Judging from the time, it should be about time!
Just wait until the water floods Longyang City, and then let the Jin army enter the city by boat and kill the Liang army that was half-dead due to the flood.
