Bai Ying knelt down directly before Xuan Yuanzhan: "Your Highness, the Northern Rong are constantly increasing their troops, and Beifeng City is in grave danger. If the Northern Rong are not eliminated, Your Highness will not be able to return to the capital to save the Dowager Consort and the Princess Consort with peace of mind. This trip to the Northern Rong is one I must take, and I am confident that I can convince Tuoba Xiong and the others to trust me."

Xuanyuan Zhan knew that Bai Ying's determination to go to Bei Rong was largely due to him.

Xuanyuan Zhan, holding Bai Ying's arm, pulled him up: "Since you've decided to go, then go. Whatever cooperation you need from me, I will fully cooperate."

If the Northern Rong don't come out, it's indeed difficult for him to leave the Northern Lands with peace of mind.

Only by eliminating or defeating the Northern Rong can he return to the capital in peace to save Ning'er and his mother.

Therefore, the Northern Rong must be dealt with as soon as possible!

"Thank you, Your Highness. We can discuss the details of the plan on our way back to the city."

As Bai Ying spoke, he led the two back the way they came.

On the way back, Bai Ying explained his specific battle plan and the areas where Xuan Yuanzhan and the other soldiers needed to cooperate.

When the three of them returned from the edge of the cliff, Xuan Yuanzhan frowned as he looked at the bottomless precipice and asked, "Have you ever walked down from here before?"

Zhang Debiao kicked a small stone off the cliff, but no sound of it hitting the ground could be heard for a long time.

Bai Ying glanced down at the cliff and said, "When we were crossing the cliff before, some of our brothers fell down. I led men down to look for them, but they were smashed to pieces."

Seemingly recalling the way his brother had been smashed into a bloody pulp, Bai Ying subconsciously frowned.

Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at the vines growing wildly along the cliff edge and said thoughtfully, "Your brothers from Liuying Village must all be quite skilled at climbing cliffs."

Speaking of this, Bai Ying couldn't help but become proud: "Your Highness, as you can see, our Liuying Village was originally built in the mountains, and many of our brothers in Liuying Village are mountain men. I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to cliff climbing, if Liuying Village is second to none in the northern lands and the northern Rong region, no one dares to say that they are second."

Xuanyuan Zhan stared at the vines and nodded in satisfaction: "That makes things easier."

The three discussed the specific battle plan, and by the time they returned to Beifeng City, it was already evening.

Xuanyuan Zhan took Bai Ying directly to the council hall and told all the generals about Bai Ying's plan.

White Eagle's plan was approved by all the generals, and Xuan Yuanzhan had also personally walked through the secret passage. Since Xuan Yuanzhan said the plan was feasible, it must be feasible.

Ling Lang looked at Bai Ying with some worry: "The capital city doesn't recognize General Bai's identity yet. General Bai has participated in the battle, so what if the capital city blames us again..."

Before Ling Lang could finish speaking, Xuan Yuanzhan glared at him and said, "Can you still control the capital now? If they insist on accusing me of treason, even if I do nothing, they will not let me go!"

Everyone nodded silently upon hearing this.

Indeed, the prince did not commit any treasonous act, but the second and third princes in the capital insisted that he was guilty of treason.

Even if the prince doesn't use the Northern City Army, they probably still won't let him go.

In that case, the war against the Northern Rong must be the priority.

Moreover, the Northern Rong army is now heavily reinforced, and the number of Northern Rong tribes is increasing rapidly. If the Northern Rong are not dealt with quickly, Beifeng City will definitely fall. How can we worry about anything else now!

"Then it's decided. Send the word that from now on, whenever you see Bai Ying, you should act as if you don't know him and no one is allowed to call him General Bai anymore." Xuan Yuanzhan made the decision to carry out Bai Ying's plan.

"Yes," everyone responded immediately.

Xuanyuan Zhan then looked at Bai Ying and said, "Take your men and leave Beifeng tonight."

"Yes," Bai Ying replied, and immediately went out to gather all the brothers of Liuying Village.

"General, where have you been today? We haven't seen you all day," a brother from Liuying Village asked.

White Eagle looked at him and said, "From today onwards, no one is allowed to call me General anymore. Call me Boss."

As soon as Bai Ying said this, the brothers of Liuying Village instantly erupted in uproar.

What does this mean?

"Why are you calling me 'Big Boss' again? Are you giving up being a general?"

"Could it be that the prince dismissed the general from his post?"

"Didn't we say before that we hadn't officially become the North City Army yet, so the general can't be called a general anymore?"

"Is it because they're afraid people will misunderstand that the prince is plotting a rebellion, so they can't establish the Northern City Army?"

Seeing the uproar among the Liuying Village brothers, Bai Ying threw out another sentence: "Not only am I no longer the Great General, but you are no longer soldiers of the Northern City Army, but bandits of Liuying Village!"

These words infuriated the brothers of Liuying Village.

"How did we become bandits again? Didn't we agree to be granted amnesty?"

"Yeah, even if we can't be recruited now, we can wait. Why did we suddenly turn into bandits?"

"We finally transformed from bandits into a regular army. Are we going to go back to being bandits?"

"General, please talk to the prince properly. We can give up our military pay, our uniforms, we can give up anything, as long as he doesn't abandon us!"

When Xuanyuan Zhan came over, he happened to hear these words, and to be honest, he was quite moved.

Unexpectedly, these bandits all had a heart that wanted to reform. Indeed, if there were a way, who would want to be a bandit for life?

Just as Bai Ying was about to explain something to them, Xuan Yuanzhan came over.

"Your Highness." Bai Ying hurriedly came over and bowed.

The brothers of Liuying Village were also excited when they saw Xuanyuan Zhan.

"Your Highness, please don't abandon us!"

"Yes, even if we can't be recruited immediately, we can wait."

"We don't want to implicate Your Highness, we just beg Your Highness not to let us leave."

The brothers of Liuying Village watched as Xuan Yuanzhan chattered away, making him both amused and exasperated. He quickly raised his hand to stop them from continuing, saying, "Everyone, please be quiet. I have something to say."

As soon as Xuan Yuanzhan spoke, the brothers of Liuying Village, who had been making a ruckus just moments before, fell silent instantly.

Once everyone quieted down, Xuan Yuanzhan spoke up: "Your general just now told you not to call him general, saying that you are no longer the Beicheng Army, but the bandits of Liuying Village. It's not because I want to drive you away. I assure you here that since I have granted you amnesty, then I have granted you amnesty. Even though there are some problems in the capital and your identities have not yet been recognized, that is my business. I will communicate with them. You don't need to worry about these things."

His word is law; since he said he would offer them amnesty, he will definitely do so.

As for how he plans to negotiate with Xuan Yuan Yu and Xuan Yuan Zhi, that's his own business.

As soon as Xuan Yuanzhan said these comforting words, everyone immediately felt relieved: "What did the general mean by what he just said?"
