Chapter 809: Work together to destroy the enemy
Chapter 809: Joining forces to defeat the enemy
Xiao Rongyan, who was also wearing the black armor of the Jin army, sat next to Bai Qingyan without avoiding suspicion.
All the generals in the tent already knew that Xiao Rongyan, a wealthy businessman from the Wei State, was Bai Qingyan’s fiancé. He had come specially tonight to spend New Year’s Eve with Bai Qingyan, so they didn’t say much.
“Report…”
A soldier under Zhao Sheng’s command quickly ran to the outside of the commander’s tent, knelt on one knee and said, “Reporting to the Princess Zhenguo, the two spies from Daming Prefecture have already headed in the direction of Daming Prefecture, and our army has let them go!”
The candlelight made Bai Qingyan’s gloomy eyes flicker. She straightened her back, gripped the sword at her waist, and looked at the generals in the tent.
“Today is New Year’s Eve, but you are asked to fight with your former comrades. Bai Qingyan knows… you all feel guilty towards your former comrades! However… in General Cao’s eyes, we are all enemies of Liang State, and we must swear to destroy us! We cannot be persuaded to surrender with just a few words!” Bai Qingyan bowed to the soldiers, “And we are taking up arms today to quell this chaotic world as soon as possible, so that there will be no more killing of compatriots in the future! We don’t know when we can see the day of peace and tranquility, and to quell it with weapons, although it is killing, it is also to stop war with war, and to establish peace for the world! Bai Qingyan implore you… you must do your best in this battle, and make the defenders of Damingfu unable to resist in one battle, so… we can avoid fighting again and avoid greater casualties! Quell Damingfu as soon as possible!”
Bai Qingyan’s words were very encouraging, and the generals in the tent no longer felt any guilt towards their comrades!
They had to resort to war to end the war in order to bring peace to the world!
Only in this way can we pacify Daming Prefecture as soon as possible, and capture Daliang Hancheng as soon as possible… and lay the foundation for the unification of the world!
Every word Bai Qingyan said touched the hearts of the generals.
Zhao Sheng, who was excited, straightened his back, clasped his fists and shouted: “I swear to follow the princess until death!”
“I swear to follow the princess until death!”
All the soldiers followed Zhao Sheng, straightened their backs, clasped their fists and shouted, with fighting spirit in their hearts.
In the big tent, except for Zhao Ran… the rest were all former soldiers of Liang State. However, they all gathered under Bai Qingyan’s command because of the same goal, and they vowed to never retreat.
“Zhao Sheng, Zhao Ran, listen to my orders!” Bai Qingyan looked at Zhao Sheng and Zhao Ran, “Order Zhao Sheng to lead 50,000 soldiers and Zhao Ran to lead 5,000 Shuoyang soldiers to hide on the right side of the military camp and wait for orders. Do not act rashly!”
“Zhao Sheng obeys the order!”
“Zhao Ran obeys the order!”
Zhao Sheng and Zhao Ran clasped their fists and accepted the order.
“Yang Wuce, Yang Wei, listen to my orders!” Bai Qingyan looked at Yang Wuce and Yang Wei again, “I order you two to lead 50,000 soldiers to hide on the left side of the military camp. Once the defenders of Daming Prefecture enter the camp, you will besiege them and attack them from both inside and outside! If there are any changes… follow the orders of General Yang Wuce and don’t make any mistakes!”
“Yang Wuce obeys the order!”
“Yang Wei obeys the order!”
Bai Qingyan stood up, holding his sword in hand, and swept his sharp eyes over the soldiers in the camp. He spoke in a sonorous and resounding voice: “The rest of the soldiers will serve as bait with me, waiting for the Liang army to attack in the barracks. Together with the two Generals Zhao and the two Generals Yang, we will work together to destroy the enemy!”
“Let’s work together to defeat the enemy!” Zhao Sheng was the first to shout.
The entire tent was filled with shouts of working together to defeat the enemy.
Xiao Rongyan stared at the majestic and solemn Bai Qingyan, and finally understood why Bai Qingyan could lead his subordinates into brave warriors who were not afraid of death. No one could match Bai Qingyan in boosting the morale of his soldiers.

In Daming Prefecture, the Liang army was also preparing for battle, and the army gathered inside and outside the gate of Daming Prefecture.
Led by Cao Renyi, all the generals gathered on the city gate and looked into the distance. They waited for the news that the lights in the Jin army camp had been turned off, and then they set off immediately.
“General! Look…” The general beside Cao Renyi vaguely saw two figures riding fast in the darkness and immediately pointed them out to Cao Renyi.
Cao Renyi raised his hand and shouted loudly: “Be on guard!”
The archers all drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the distance. Even the soldiers lined up under the city wall and ready to go held down their swords.
The sound of horse hooves was heard getting closer and closer. The two spies who had returned reined in their horses and shouted from under the city wall: “General! The Jin army has turned off the lights!”
Cao Renyi tightly grasped the sword at his waist. When he heard that the Jin army had turned off the lights, he felt relieved and his eyes lit up.
On New Year’s Eve tonight, he sent people to deliver Liang wine and Liang’s unique delicacies, saying that he intended to seek peace. In fact… one was to paralyze the Princess Zhenguo… to make the Princess Zhenguo think that he really wanted to surrender like Zhao Sheng and Yang Wuce, and the other was to disrupt the minds of the Liang army soldiers under the command of Princess Zhenguo Bai Qingyan.
They were attacking their motherland, they should have some guilt in their hearts. Liang wine and Liang delicacies can awaken their affection for their homeland, so that it will not be so difficult for them to fight a real war. This is the so-called… Attacking the heart is the best way. The Liang wine and Liang delicacies he sent to the Jin army camp today are similar to Liu Bang’s Han army’s strategy of dealing with Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu, from all sides.
“Soldiers of Liang! Today should be the day for family reunion on New Year’s Eve, but we must stay here to protect Liang and our families! Without a country, there is no home! If the country is destroyed, where is the home?! Instead of hiding in the city and waiting for the Jin army to attack, it is better to take the initiative to attack when they are unprepared, and use offense as defense! Drive the Jin dogs… out of our Liang country!”
“Drive them out of Liang State!”
“Drive them out of Liang State!”
“Drive them out of Liang State!”
The Liang army soldiers shouted in unison.
Seeing that the soldiers were ready to fight, Cao Renyi shouted at the top of his lungs: “Move on!”
The generals of the Liang army under the city wall immediately mounted their horses, shouted “march”, and ordered the soldiers to extinguish the torches in their hands, and the army set off.
As Cao Renyi walked towards the city wall, he turned to his deputy general and asked, “Are you sure all the spies sent by Jin have been killed?”
Deputy General Cao Renyi nodded and said, “General, rest assured. I have already told the leaders of the ambushes along the way… to kill all the spies from the Jin State and never let them go back to report the news.”
Cao Renyi nodded: “That’s good! I will lead the army to the Jin army camp, and the city will be empty… You must remember to defend Daming Prefecture! If we are defeated, you will gather the people to defend the city together. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed as a warning to the monkeys. You must wait until the imperial reinforcements arrive.”
“The general is invincible! With 60,000 soldiers in this battle, he will not be defeated. He will definitely slaughter all the Liang rebels and kill the Jin princess to avenge the fourth prince! I am here waiting for your triumphant return!” Deputy General Cao Renyi clasped his fists solemnly and looked at Cao Renyi, expressing his full confidence that Cao Renyi would win this battle.
Cao Renyi shook his head: “The Jin army has 150,000 soldiers, and our army only has 60,000 soldiers… You still have to be prepared.”
Having said that, Cao Renyi decided to lead 60,000 men in a surprise attack in order to defeat the enemy with a smaller force. He vowed to win fame among the nations in this battle and to avenge his old friend, the Fourth Prince.
