The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 963: Lead troops to beat the pass
Chapter 963: Leading the troops to attack the pass
Wei Zhaonian looked towards Bai Qingyan and no longer spoke in a roundabout way as he did at the beginning. He spoke directly to Bai Qingyan: “Master Bai, do you want the fifth, sixth and seventh girls to join the Bai family army?”
All the descendants of the Bai family, regardless of gender, must enter the military camp for training when they are ten years old. Because of the misfortune suffered by the Bai family… this matter was delayed.
Now that everything is going in a good direction, Bai Qingyan still wants to continue this tradition.
Bai Qingyan nodded: “Xiao Wu… has a personality most similar to Xiao Si, so I want Xiao Wu to follow Uncle Shen. Uncle Shen has to work hard to temper her. I feel relieved to have Uncle Shen watching over her.”
Shen Kunyang looked at Bai Qingyan with a dazed look, and after a moment of stunned silence, he nodded: “Don’t worry, Xiaobaishuai!”
When Bai Qingyan was arranged by Bai Qishan to work under Shen Kunyang, Bai Qishan also said the same thing to Shen Kunyang… He asked Shen Kunyang to temper Bai Qingyan’s temper, and said… he felt relieved to have Shen Kunyang watching over Bai Qingyan.
Shen Kunyang’s red eyes looked at Bai Qingyan, who was sitting under the lamp, introverted and steady, and arranged Bai Jinhua to be under Gu Wenchang’s command. The corners of his lips curled up slightly…
With this, Deputy Marshal Bai Qishan should be able to rest in peace. The little Bai Shuai, who once worried the deputy marshal the most… has now grown into a calm and steady deputy marshal.
“As for Xiaoqi, I want her to follow General Wei.” Bai Qingyan looked at Wei Zhaonian. “Although Xiaoqi is young, she is very precocious among us sisters. Fourth uncle once praised General Wei as the most strategic general under his command. Fourth uncle relies on him very much, so… I want to hand Xiaoqi over to General Wei, and hope that General Wei can take good care of her!”
The meaning of Bai Qingyan’s words was very clear. Bai Jinse was not good at fighting in the battlefield like generals like Cheng Yuanzhi and Shen Kunyang, so Bai Qingyan wanted Bai Jinse to follow Wei Zhaonian to learn the art of war and learn how to become a general who could lead troops and make plans.
Wei Zhaonian looked at the young Bai Jinse, who immediately stood up and bowed to Wei Zhaonian: “General, please teach me!”
Wei Zhaonian hurriedly stood up, returned the greeting, and bowed to Bai Qingyan: “Little Marshal Bai, you are trustworthy. Wei Zhaonian will definitely risk his life to protect Miss Seven and teach her everything he knows.”
After making arrangements for his three sisters, Bai Qingyan slowly spoke: “In the sixteenth year of Xuanjia, the Bai family army besieged Yun Poxing, and the enemy was close at hand… In order to survive, I had no choice but to let the enemy go. At that time… I gave myself a three-year deadline, and also gave Yun Poxing three years. I promised my fellow brothers in the Bai family army that I would lead them to avenge the Bai family army and the Bai family generals. There are only a few months left in the three-year deadline…”
Several generals, including Shen Kunyang, sat upright.
A cool breeze blew into the pavilion, and the gauze curtain that hung down from between the columns and beams outside the pavilion to block mosquitoes swayed gently. The chirping of summer insects stopped abruptly for a moment, as if they were holding their breath waiting for Bai Qingyan’s next words.
“When the time comes, if Yun Poxing cannot come, please follow Bai Qingyan and lead the Bai family army to attack the pass!” Bai Qingyan’s voice was sonorous, and people could feel her determination for revenge from her voice, “Revenge for the Bai family army!”
Wei Zhaonian understood that no matter what conditions Xiliang offered this time, Bai Qingyan would not negotiate peace with Xiliang.
He clenched his fists. If he looked at the overall situation, this time… Bai Qingyan should accept Xiliang’s peace talks and let Rongdi and Dayan fight against Xiliang.
But as the Bai family army, Bai Qingyan once vowed to lead them to revenge in three years. If Bai Qingyan breaks his promise for the benefit of the country, they can understand, but… they will be disappointed.
“There is still time. When the Great Zhou attacks Xiliang, we must not let the Great Yan sit idle…” Wei Zhaonian said slowly, “From the king to the people of Yan, everyone is ruthless. If the Great Zhou gets involved in a war and the Great Yan takes the opportunity to recuperate, I’m afraid the fishermen will benefit.”
“Yan State and Rongdi have signed an alliance. If Rongdi attacks Xiliang within three years, Yan State will not intervene or take any part of the spoils.” Bai Qingyan stroked the edge of the stone table with his fingers. “Although Yan State is strong now, it still lags behind Dazhou State, and it dares not start a war rashly! So…if Dazhou State and Xiliang go to war, Yan State’s first choice will be to attack Rongdi!”
“The Great Zhou and Rongdi attack Xiliang together, and Yan State attacks Rongdi’s imperial court and pulls the battle line to the north of Rongdi, which will surely force… Rongdi to withdraw and defend. At this time… the Great Zhou is trapped in Xiliang. Even if it can spare its hands to help Rongdi, Yan State is to the west of the Great Zhou and will surely send troops…” Bai Qingyan could even imagine the chaos at that time, “The four countries… will surely become a mess.”
Cheng Yuanzhi gritted his teeth. He really wanted to go to Xiliang with Xiao Baishuai to seek revenge, but if Dayan started a rebellion, it would be hard to guard against…
Cheng Yuanzhi thought of Xie Xun, the Daliang general who had recently become famous, and Murong Ping, the second prince of Dayan.
“If General Xiaobai is worried about the west of Great Zhou, Cheng Yuanzhi will volunteer to lead his troops to the border of Great Zhou and Yan State. We will never let the Yan people cross the border even a single step! If you want to go to Rongdi… you must step over my, Cheng Yuanzhi’s dead body!” Cheng Yuanzhi stood up and knelt on one knee to beg for orders.
The great cause of unification requires someone to charge to the front and leave a name in bloody battles, and someone is also needed to provide support and defense in the rear. Since General Xiao Bai has led their Bai family army to embark on the road of unifying the world, there must be no accidents.
There is a strong enemy at hand… Cheng Yuanzhi is willing to be the one who stays in the rear and relieves Xiao Baishuai and the Bai family army of their worries.
“I’ll go guard the border of Yan State!” Wei Zhaonian loosened his tightly clenched hands and spoke slowly as if he had made up his mind, “General Cheng is a brave and fierce general of the Bai family army. On the battlefield… General Cheng’s name is enough to scare the people of Xiliang. As for containing Yan State, I am more suitable than General Cheng.”
Wei Zhaonian almost said it bluntly that one needs to use the brain to contain the State of Yan. Although Cheng Yuanzhi’s brain works well in battle, he is ultimately a rough man and it is inevitable that he will overlook some things.
“I’ll go…”
Bai Qingyun, who had been silent in the wheelchair for a long time, suddenly spoke.
Bai Qingyun looked at Bai Qingyan and said, “If you can trust Ah Yun, I will guard Dayan… I will lock them in the Yan territory and not let the Yan people touch the territory of Dazhou!”
Over the years, Bai Qingyun has never been idle in Sihai Pavilion of Luopan Mountain. No one knows this better than Xiao Ruojiang and Xiao Ruohai.
Bai Qingyun works almost day and night. Without legs… he has to make up for his shortcomings in other areas.
The Sihai Pavilion in Luopan Mountain has existed for who knows how many years. Its existence is like Guiguzi. To ordinary people… it has always been a legend. Almost no one can find the Sihai Pavilion in the foggy Luopan Mountain… or get a glimpse of the true face of the Sihai Pavilion.
People all say that the Sihai Pavilion on Luopan Mountain is a fairy mountain and fairy pavilion, which encompasses all the knowledge and martial arts in the world, as well as the Qimen Dunjia.
