The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 438: strike
Chapter 438: Stop the War
The surging flood rushed into the city like a group of ferocious beasts, rushing in all directions, and the sound of the waves was deafening.
“There’s a flood!” the Liang soldier shouted, turned around and ran two steps before he was knocked to the ground by the flood and was immediately swallowed up.
The Jin army standing on a high mountain watched the lights in Longyang City gradually go out, and they knew that a flood had arrived. Soon, Longyang City, which had just been brightly lit, became pitch dark.
Fu Ruoxi tightly gripped the sword at her waist and couldn’t help but said happily: “I seem to have heard the screams of Liang Jun. It feels so good!”
Floods are like ferocious beasts. Even good swimmers would find it difficult to survive such a fast and fierce flood, not to mention that there were mostly stones and wood in the flood, plus furniture and floating wood washed out of the city, the situation in the water was extremely complicated.
However, Bai Qingyan did not expect Xun Tianzhang to be so ruthless. Perhaps when Xun Tianzhang ordered people to dig the canal, he was too gloomy. He thought that the wall of Longyang City was two meters high, and if he wanted to kill most of the Jin army here, the dike had to be wide open.
Now, he is reaping the fruits of his own actions.
After daybreak, the heavy rain had not stopped yet, and the flood at the foot of the mountain where Bai Qingyan and others were located brought countless corpses of Liang soldiers.
Longyang City has become a swamp.
General Fu saw this and said to Bai Qing: “General Bai, I think it has become so flooded, we might as well retreat! The heavy rain has not stopped and the flood will rise again. We also need to leave here as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.”
Bai Qingyan nodded. Looking at the current situation, there is no need to beat the man when he is down.
“Let’s retreat!” Bai Qingyan said.

Tianlan Mountain.
The rain was not as heavy near Tianlan Mountain as it was in Longyang City. All the Jin troops set up camp in the vast area of Tianlan Mountain and joined up with the reinforcements coming from Dadu.
Liu Hong stood in front of the commander’s tent, watching the drizzling rain outside, and pondered over Bai Qingyan’s words…
If they let the Liang army go this time and did not set up an ambush on the road from Longyang City to Puwen City, the Liang army would flee back to Puwen City to join forces. Not only would it be difficult for them to attack the city, but they would also have to engage in a tug-of-war with the Liang army, which would be disadvantageous to the Jin State, which had lost too many troops in southern Xinjiang.
After thinking for a long time, Liu Hong suddenly clenched his fists behind his back and shouted, “Let General Lin Kangle come over!”
Soon, Lin Kangle entered the general’s tent.
Liu Hong told Lin Kangle about Bai Qingyan’s idea. Lin Kangle was silent for a moment. “I think General Bai is right! And during the war in Southern Xinjiang, everything General Bai said came true. I believe in General Bai! If the commander-in-chief agrees, I am willing to lead the troops to bypass Longyang City and Longmu River and set up an ambush on the road from Longyang City to Puwen City.”
Even Lin Kangle said so, Liu Hong no longer had any worries in his heart: “I order you to take 20,000 people and set up an ambush. If the enemy commander Xun Tianzhang is still alive, you must capture him alive!”
“Don’t worry, coach!” Lin Kangle said
After the sky was completely light, Bai Qingyan and Fu Ruoxi returned to the camp.
After hearing that the commander had arranged for General Lin Kangle to lead 20,000 troops to set up an ambush on the road that must be passed from Longyang City to Puwen City, he went to rest, so Bai Qingyan did not disturb him.
As long as Liu Hong is determined to wipe out the defeated Liang army on the road from Longyang City to Puwen City, Puwen City and Chunmu City will be easily recaptured, the war will be over, and she can take Xiao Si and Shen Qingzhu home.
She went back to the tent to see Bai Jinzhi and Shen Qingzhu, but neither of them woke up yet.
Seeing Bai Qingyan coming into the tent, Ji Langhua, who had just changed the bandages for Shen Qingzhu, stood up in shock. Seeing that Bai Qingyan was soaked, he hurriedly said, “Miss! I’ll go get you a set of clean clothes. Are you injured? Do you want me to take a look?”
“It’s okay!” After looking at Shen Qingzhu and Bai Jinzhi, Bai Qingyan took off her armor and wet clothes and boots behind the screen. Her feet were already completely white and swollen, her legs were rubbed bloody by the saddle, and her snow-white undershirt was stuck to her skin and flesh, making it difficult to separate them.
After Ji Langhua heated the small knife over the fire, she separated the skin and clothes bit by bit. The skin was injured and the flesh was exposed, which Ji Langhua could not bear to look at. She held back her tears and applied medicine to Bai Qingyan, and then bandaged the wound on Bai Qingyan’s leg with fine cotton cloth.
When others looked at Bai Qingyan, they thought she was extremely glorious and invincible. However, no one knew that this woman’s body was covered with scars, new and old intertwined, which was very horrifying.
Ji Langhua helped Bai Qingyan change her clothes, his eyes reddened: “I’ll apply some medicine on the young lady’s hands later.”
“It’s okay. Thank you for taking care of Xiaosi and Qingzhu! Go and have a rest!” Bai Qingyan said while buttoning his clothes.
Ji Langhua shook his head: “Go and have a rest, Miss! I can check on Miss Four and Miss Shen anytime from here.”
Bai Qingyan did not force herself. She changed into dry clothes and felt much more comfortable. She simply had some hot soup. She heard Bai Jinzhi mumbling in her sleep and suddenly called out “elder sister”. She was distressed and walked to the bedside and sat down. She held Bai Jinzhi’s hand and whispered, “Elder sister is here!”
Hearing Bai Qingyan’s voice, Bai Jinzhi’s stiff and tense body slowly relaxed, but his hand held Bai Qingyan’s hand tightly and did not let go.
Bai Qingyan touched Bai Jinzhi’s forehead. It was a little hot but not serious. He must have been frightened.
On the way here, Bai Qingyan swore in his heart several times that when he found Bai Jinzhi, this ignorant girl, he would grab her arm and slap this daring girl hard in the face. But when he really saw Bai Jinzhi, he was left with only heartache.
She lowered her eyes to look at Bai Jinzhi’s face which was scratched by branches, and her hand wrapped in fine cotton cloth. She stroked it gently, feeling filled with fear.
If she went half a cup of tea later, the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, she arrived…
From now on, she would never put the safety of her loved ones in the hands of others, never again.
“The fourth lady is just frightened and has a fever, it’s okay, Miss Shen’s condition has been temporarily stabilized. The two of them didn’t wake up because they were too tired… they will be fine after a good sleep for a day or two!” After Ji Langhua comforted Bai Qingyan, his eyes fell on Shen Qingzhu’s face, “But Miss Shen’s condition, it’s best for her to go back and recuperate! If the war continues, it’s best not to let Miss Shen get tired again.”
Bai Qingyan nodded, his tone calm but very confident: “This battle will not drag on for much longer, it will be over soon.”
Bai Qingyan’s words came as a prophecy. In the battle of flooding Longyang City, Xun Tianzhang’s son died in the flood. Zhao Sheng, who fled to Puwen City with the remaining troops, was captured alive in order to cover the escape of Xun Tianzhang, the commander of the Liang army.
Afterwards, the Jin army captured Puwen City and Chunmu City successively. When the news reached the capital of Liang State, the King of Liang was shocked, and the Liang court was arguing endlessly about whether to fight or make peace.
The emperor of Jin sent a special envoy, Liu Rushi, to Liang to be the first to present a peace agreement.
