Chapter 272 Let’s fight!
"Bai Li, are you telling the truth?!"
Zhou Yu came back to his senses and hurriedly confirmed with Bai Li.
"Absolutely true!"
"But... we're going to attack a country, a country with a million soldiers, and these are just 30,000 soldiers..."
Zhou Yu wanted to say that the mere 30,000 soldiers were undoubtedly going to be killed, but he stopped talking after thinking that it would not destroy his own prestige.
Bai Li of course knew what he hadn't said, so he opened the Simon map and told them in detail.
"You see, Simon's territory is vast, and each state and county is very far apart. Even if you ride a fast horse, it will take half a day or even a day to get there.
As long as we fight our way along the border of the Great Zhou, first reach the nearest Qinzhou, and then send a team of elite soldiers to quickly occupy this city, we will be able to occupy the main position here where we can attack from the front and retreat back to the Great Zhou.
We can immediately take advantage of the terrain to turn the tables and gradually occupy other cities..."
"Most of Simon's troops are in the south, holding down the Mongolian border there. It would take at least three days for them to mobilize troops to the north.
This way, we can build fortifications before their reinforcements arrive, and if things get tough, we can retreat to the Great Zhou..."
"No, when you occupy a city, I will immediately send troops to garrison there. Every city we capture will be incorporated into the Great Zhou territory. We will hold it firmly and no one can take it away!"
Bai Li was amused by the emperor's childishness. He remembered the teachings of his ancestors and wanted to unify the six kingdoms!
"This is the best. It will not be in vain for my hard work in attacking the city."
With the emperor's support, Bai Li had full confidence in sending troops to attack Simon.
Nangong Min was still worried, "With this amount of troops, it might be difficult to attack the city. How about..."
“Don’t be afraid. It’s not the quantity of soldiers that matters, but their quality.”
Bai Li was full of confidence in the soldiers and generals he would personally select.
The three of them then discussed some details, and Bai Li and Nangong Min left the palace.
"Li'er, should we go home first or go to the barracks?"
Just now, the emperor gave Bai Li the military token of the capital barracks. He originally wanted to give her the general's token that could mobilize soldiers from all over the country, but she didn't take it and only wanted this.
"Go to the barracks first."
In Bai Li's plan, she must bring her 500 cavalrymen, followed by the 10,000 new recruits under her father Bai Zongren, and 500 old Bai family soldiers, and the rest will be picked from the barracks.
"I'm just afraid your father won't agree."
Nangong Min said something before getting on the horse. Bai Li glanced at him, jumped on the horse and left.
Nangong Min touched his nose and quickly mounted his horse to catch up.
His Li'er seemed to see through his little thoughts, but didn't say it out of courtesy.
He didn't want her, a girl, to lead the troops into battle. He, a man, was enough to fight.
But he didn't dare say it out loud. If he did, he believed she would break his legs.
There is no doubt that this is possible.
Bai Li arrived at the barracks with the military token. She was received by a deputy general, Yang Lin, as the main general, Yang Mu, had gone out and had not returned.
He first glanced at the two of them sideways, then hummed through his nose with an extremely arrogant attitude.
His eyes fell on the military token in Bai Li's hand, and he reluctantly led his men into the hall.
"I wonder how many troops you two want, and what your purpose is?"
Generally, military generals who came with military tokens to demand people were specially sent by the emperor to handle confidential matters, and the barracks had no right to interfere.
Nangong Min reached out and held down the irritable Bai Li, saying loudly, "This is confidential. I believe Lieutenant General Yang understands the rules, right?"
"Ahem, of course."
Yang Lin is Yang Mu's cousin. He has always been dissatisfied with the fact that his cousin Yang Mu has become a general at such a young age. Usually when Yang Mu is not around, the military camp is left to him to take care of. He takes the opportunity to show off his power and satisfy his desire to be a commander-in-chief.
Everyone in the barracks had to give him some face, and the soldiers dared not speak out under the pressure of General Yang.
But he was just pretending and didn't dare to do anything to the soldiers, so everyone turned a blind eye and no one exposed him.
He took advantage of his cousin's absence and acted arrogantly in the barracks, wanting to be flattered and coaxed.
"Stop talking nonsense and take us there!"
Bai Li became impatient and went straight to the school training ground when he heard that he could do it.
"Stop! Who allowed you in?"
Yang Lin looked at the young woman with a squint. There were many versions of the legend about her, but he believed the one he heard.
Bai Li looked at the person standing in front of her and raised her eyebrows slightly. There really was someone who was not afraid of death and dared to tease her. He probably didn't know how to write the word death!
"Get out of the way, a good dog doesn't block the road!"
After all, he came to ask for help, so Bai Li suppressed his anger and gave him a chance.
But in Yang Lin's eyes, she was just afraid and didn't dare to confront him.
What savior of the Great Zhou, what a man who destroyed Simon’s 200,000-strong army with only 10,000 soldiers, bah!
Were these all fabricated by the emperor?
I didn't expect that this little girl has some skills. Not only did she seduce the emperor to death, but the young master Nangong next to her also became her bootlicker.
He cursed out loud as he thought in his heart: "I said you can't come in, so you can't come in. This is a barracks, not a bed. It's not the place for you to act wild!"
What?
Bai Li didn't react for a moment.
Nangong Min reacted quickly enough in anger and punched him in the face.
A loud "bang" brought Bai Li back to his senses.
He! How dare he say that she...
Damn it!
"Nangong Min! Others may be afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you!
Aren't you just showing off by relying on the reputation of the Nangong family?
"In the end, you got carried away by picking up a broken shoe? Pah!"
Yang Lin spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with two teeth and wanted to curse again, but he was kicked in the next second and flew into the air. When he felt that he could reach out and catch the bird, his body fell in a parabola ten feet away. With a "bang", he fell to the ground and turned into a puddle of mud, unable to get up again.
"Ah! You, are you guys here to cause trouble in the barracks?!"
"Brothers! Someone is ruining the place, hurry up!"
The soldiers who were training on the school grounds were nearly hit by objects falling from the sky. When they came to their senses, they saw that it was their Lieutenant General Yang who fell to the ground, and the culprits were the man and woman who walked in.
With a whoosh, all the generals immediately surrounded the two men and tried to capture them.
Seeing that the two sides were about to engage in a fierce battle, Nangong Min controlled his temper and shouted, "Wait! We have the emperor's handwritten order and the military token!"
Nangong Min stood facing the wind, his clothes fluttering, and his natural aura of a superior person stunned them for a moment.
At this time, a small leader stepped out from the crowd, bowed and said to the two men, "I am Wu Bai, the captain of the barracks. May I ask who you are..."
Nangong Min introduced himself and handed him the imperial edict and military order.
"The imperial edict and the military token are both correct. I wonder why you two injured our Deputy General Yang?"
"It's his fault for having such a stinky mouth! Beating him is the least of his punishment!"
