Chapter 337: The Four Great Zhou Are Besieged

Several deputy generals wanted to say more, but Qu Shao waved his hand and let them go.

I don’t even bother to punish them!

Qu Shao had lost his fighting spirit, the soldiers were terrified, and several deputy generals did not dare to talk about fighting again, so they submitted a ceasefire letter and discussed the matter again after a month.

Simon has called a ceasefire, Bai Erlang has been rescued, and Bai Li is about to return to Qiangzhou.

"Dad, second brother, if the Ximeng army comes again, we in Qiangzhou will lead the charge. You just need to assist us. Remember, don't act too aggressively."

Bai Zongren: Listen, is this something a girl can say to her father or brother?

What does it mean to show off?

They are her father and brothers. Shouldn't they rush in front of her and take the blame for her if something happens?

But when it comes to her mouth, it becomes showing off!

Bai Li didn't see the colorful faces of the two people. He went out of the city, called out the eagle, rode it and returned to Qiang City.

Except for the initial discomfort in the space, the big white horse is now very relaxed.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, chewing green grass, drinking clear and sweet stream water, and occasionally playing with the golden retriever, Bai Li was so happy that he didn't want to leave. So he simply kept it there for a while, just as a vacation for it.

Speaking of which, she now has land and air transportation. In the sky, there are eagles and paragliders, and on land, there are big white horses that can travel thousands of miles a day.

In terms of transportation alone, she was far ahead of the ancients.

After being tamed by the golden retriever, the eagle recognized the golden retriever as its master. Now it is very obedient in front of Bai Li, the master's master. It dares not go east when told to, and dares not chase chickens when told to chase dogs.

In Qiangzhou City, Nangong Min had just received a letter via carrier pigeon, saying that the Great Zhou Dynasty was now facing enemies from all sides, with Laos, Mongolia and Li joining forces to attack the Great Zhou.

When Bai Li returned, Nangong Min was pacing anxiously in the conference room, while Luo Yang, Wu Feng, Wu Lanzhi and others stood by, helpless.

"Marshal Bai, you're finally back!"

Wu Lanzhi stood up and walked forward. Bai Li nodded, and his eyes were attracted by Nangong Min who had a frown on his face.

"What happened?"

"Li'er, I just received a letter from the Emperor. It's a serious matter. Laos, along with Mongolia and Li, have sent troops to attack our Great Zhou. The Emperor is so anxious that he wants to lead the army himself!"

"Who? The Emperor is going to lead the army himself! Does he know martial arts?"

Several people were ashamed. Only Bai Li dared to say such outrageous words.

"My cousin...he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, but he hasn't used a sword in many years. I wonder if he can still hold a sword now."

"In other words, he's probably unable to even protect himself now, and has to lead the army himself?"

Nangong Min was silent for a moment, then said, "There are no more generals available in the court now. The Three Kingdoms Alliance has frightened the old ministers in the court. The emperor must go to war to stabilize the court!"

"By the way, have you finished clearing out the Wei Wang faction?"

Bai Li suddenly remembered this. She had not cared about state affairs before and did not know what happened next to King Wei.

"The King of Wei was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for life.

His followers have been purged. Minister Lin and his gang are his last remaining roots, and they have been completely eradicated!"

Minister Lin is Lin Wan'er's father. Bai Li knows about her affairs. She has plotted against her and has received the punishment she deserves.

"Li'er, why are you asking this suddenly?"

"The King of Wei can't cause any trouble. The Emperor can leave his lair and lead the army in person without any worries. Otherwise..."

Although Bai Li didn't finish her words, Nangong Min understood what she meant.

"Don't worry, the court is full of the emperor's people. When he's not in the palace, the affairs of the court will be handed over to Wu Shangshu to assist the queen. You don't have to worry about anything.

However, the troops were severely insufficient. The Emperor even mobilized a portion of the Imperial Guards, the city garrisons, and officials from various government offices, and only managed to gather a force of 100,000."

"How many troops does the Three Kingdoms Alliance have?"

"Laos sent 100,000 troops, Mongol 150,000, and Le 50,000."

"One hundred thousand versus three hundred thousand!"

Bai Li frowned. She came out to conquer the six kingdoms, but she didn't want her home to be raided and even her family to be gone. Her family members were all in the Great Zhou.

"No, I have to lead the troops back to support. The emperor's 100,000 troops cannot resist an army of 300,000."

"Simon is on the verge of victory. If you leave, all our efforts will be wasted!"

"What should we do then?"

Bai Li was at a loss for a moment, and now it was her turn to pace back and forth, feeling restless.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

A messenger came in from the door. He was Nangong Min's scout.

"Marshal Bai, the imperial escort team has arrived in Xuzhou and will reach Qinzhou in a few days!"

"How many people are there in this team?"

"Fifteen thousand men, five thousand of whom are female soldiers, led by Captain Nangong Zhao."

"Got it, let's go down first!"

"yes!"

After the scouts retreated, Bai Li's brows suddenly relaxed and he thought of a solution.

"The Simon Army is now frightened, and I don't think they dare to counterattack again.

Our three counties can allocate 50,000 troops to the Emperor. You will lead the troops yourself, along with the supply team, to support the Emperor."

"No, I want to stay here with you."

After Nangong Min finished speaking, he saw several people looking at him as if he were a naughty child, and then he realized that they had misunderstood.

"What I mean is, if we withdraw 50,000 troops, and we have less than 50,000 here, if the Simon Army comes to a desperate battle, you will be in great danger! I can't just sit there and do nothing!"

"Otherwise, let my father lead the troops back to the court to support the emperor?"

"That's good. General Bai has been through hundreds of battles, and with his support, the Emperor has an 80% chance of victory."

Luo Yang curled the corners of his mouth. Even a fool could see that he couldn't bear to part with Bai Li, so he was determined to stick with her and even came up with so many big reasons!

The two highest-ranking generals in the army reached a consensus, so it was pointless for others to raise any opinions, especially since no one raised them.

Luo Yang lowered his eyelids. As long as he could stay with Bai Li, he had no objection.

After Bai Li made the decision, he immediately wrote a letter, ordering Bai Bai Zongren to take Ji Huanan and others to lead 50,000 soldiers back to the capital, and if they met a supply team on the way, they would go back together.

After writing, Bai Li stamped the seal of commander on it, and Nangong Min sent scouts to deliver it to Chizhou in person at full speed.

On the other side, the supply team was marching urgently.

As soon as he set foot on Simon's land, Bai Yue became inexplicably excited.

She was happy as long as she thought about doing something bad to Bai Li secretly, and preferably ruining her reputation.

Otherwise, what would it matter if she suffered so much now?

She was not living a good life, and Bai Li was living even worse than her, otherwise she would never be able to swallow the anger in her heart.

Shangguan Ying, on the other hand, walked mechanically, dragging her legs that felt like they were filled with lead, feeling both excited and nervous.

She was thinking about what to say when she saw Nangong Min. She wondered if he would blame her if he knew that she had come to the military camp under someone else's name.

If he turned ruthless and punished her, she would be dead!

I was so passionate before that I wanted to ask him face to face why he wanted to get engaged to Bai Li. She has been by his side since she was a child and it is so obvious that she likes him, so can't he feel it?
