Chapter 273 You have a foul mouth, you deserve a beating!
Bai Li puffed up his face and hid the murderous intent in his eyes.
He should be thankful that this is a barracks, otherwise his life would be in danger!
From childhood to adulthood, she has never been insulted like this!
Nangong Min spoke up and repeated what Deputy General Yang had just said.
It’s not Bai Li’s fault for taking action. He wanted to take action, but he was just a step too late.
"this……"
Wu Bai really wanted to say that Lieutenant General Yang deserved it, because he had a foul mouth and dared to say anything.
But he couldn't insult his superior in front of his soldiers.
"I wonder how many troops you two need? The commander is away, and Deputy Commander Yang is... I can't make the decision."
Looking at the miserable state of Lieutenant General Yang, who was only breathing his last breath, there was no hope for him.
"Then wait until your commander returns and have him come find me at Wu Hou Mansion!"
"this……"
Captain Wu Bai felt bitter. He couldn't afford to offend the two people in front of him, and he couldn't afford to offend Lieutenant General Yang even more.
But Bai Li turned around and left without waiting for him to say anything.
The people who can make the decision are not here, so what else is there to say?
Waste her time!
Wuhou Mansion.
"What? You're going to lead your troops to attack Simon?!"
Bai Zongren was so shocked that he stood up and the tea in his hand spilled onto the coffee table.
"Brother, please be patient. The Emperor has agreed. It's an ironclad fact!"
Bai Zongze was calm and accepted it well.
Looking at Bai Zongrui again, he had an expression that said, "This is how it should be."
Bai Zongren was puzzled. Everyone thought it was normal for his daughter to suddenly lead troops to attack Simon, but he was the only one who couldn't accept it?
"Dad, the Simons are bullying us too much. They even ran to our doorstep to rob people. If we continue to tolerate this, we will not be men!"
"We can't even protect our own families in this uniform. How can we expect the people to trust us to protect the Great Zhou and themselves?"
"I've already had people riding on my neck and pooping and pissing, and you still have to endure it. From now on, when you see a Simon, just call him grandpa!"
The young men were full of vigor and became more and more angry as they spoke.
Bai Zongren: What did he say?
Isn't it just a surprise?
I was criticized like this by my family!
He glared at his daughter with eyes full of grievance. This girl has grown up and has her own ideas. She can make decisions on anything without going through him as her father!
"Hmm! Look at what you're saying. Did I ever say anything about holding back? King Jin is so brazen as to come to our Great Zhou to abduct people. No one would believe that he doesn't have the support of the Simon court behind him. Since Simon doesn't take our Great Zhou seriously, let's teach them a lesson. Our Great Zhou is not so easy to bully!"
"Yes, that's right!"
"In my opinion, our Great Zhou should be more assertive. Now that we have the Emperor's support, what are we waiting for?"
"Dad, I went to the barracks to check on the soldiers today and encountered some problems."
Bai Li told the story of the barracks truthfully, without exaggeration or concealment.
Then he said, "I kicked Lieutenant General Yang and he will be unable to get off the ground for at least ten days or half a month."
Bai Li originally thought that her father would scold her for being impulsive, so she spoke in a lower and lower voice.
She secretly raised her eyelids to look at her father, only to see that his eyes were wide open with anger after hearing what he heard. He slammed the coffee table with his palm, and the tea that had just been knocked over was splashed everywhere, affecting Bai Zongze who was sitting next to him.
"Wow! Big brother, if you're angry, go take it out on that jerk, don't take it out on me, okay?"
"That bastard! How dare you insult my daughter like that!"
"Brother, I heard that Yang Lin is the cousin of Commander Yang Mu. He's uneducated and relies entirely on his brothers to protect him. I don't know how he managed to get the position of deputy general."
"Yang Mu? He wields a spear to perfection, and he's quite capable. Unfortunately, he got dragged down by his brother, and the people in the barracks have a lot of complaints about him."
"The Emperor hasn't issued the decree for Big Brother to take over the barracks yet, otherwise Yang Lin would have been put to death by military court."
When the Bai family heard Yang Lin insulting Bai Li, they were all furious and wanted to beat him up with their own hands.
"By the way, the Emperor asked you to select the troops, but did he tell me how I should arrange them?"
Bai Zongren only remembered the important matter after he got angry.
"Well, the emperor asked you to stay in Da Zhou and be ready to support me at any time."
In fact, this was also Bai Li's request. She didn't want her father to fight in the battlefield at his age.
Stay in Da Zhou and be responsible for allocating food and supplies to her when the time comes.
"How can that be? Dad is now a first-rank military marquis. If he doesn't lead the troops to war, why does he stay at home like a woman and serve the harem?"
No matter what, Bai Zongren just didn't feel comfortable with his daughter leading the troops alone.
"Dad, Nangong Min will lead the troops with me, and my elder brother and second brother will also go with me, as well as Ji Huanan and the others. What else are you worried about?"
"Besides, if all of our Bai family members go to Simon, we will need reinforcements and food supplies. Without our own people in Da Zhou, what will the consequences be?"
Bai Zongren knew it without thinking. He had tried this before. Once, he was trapped in a mountain by the enemy. Food and fodder were delayed in arriving. The soldiers had to eat wild fruits and vegetables for three months before they finally received food and fodder.
Later we learned that the court ordered an official to escort food and supplies, but who knew that the official was so procrastinating that he didn't set out until after his mother's 60th birthday. He was also very slow on the road and didn't hurry. As a result, the trip took so long, and he wasn't afraid that they would starve to death.
Later, he reported this to the emperor, but the emperor was reluctant to hold him accountable because filial piety in the Zhou Dynasty was above all else. As for delaying time on the road, he had a hundred excuses, and in the end, the emperor had no choice but to let the matter go.
Just think about what his daughter would do if she met such an official?
Tens of thousands of soldiers need food, water, and horses. If they are cut off from food and the enemy attacks, they will lose without even fighting.
"Then I will be your strong support. If you need anything, send me a pigeon and I will send someone to deliver it to you immediately."
Bai Li made an agreement with her family and waited for Yang Mu to visit the next day.
Early the next morning, someone knocked on the gate of Bai Wuhou's mansion.
The doorman opened the door, but was startled by the person at the door.
Four people at the door were carrying a stretcher, and on the stretcher was a person wrapped from head to toe like a mummy.
The first person came with a threatening look on his face and said he wanted to see Lord Bai.
The doorman did not dare to delay and asked them to wait for a moment, then immediately ran in to report.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zongren asked the doorman to invite them in.
Yang Mu, who was standing at the door, saw that the stretcher of the injured person had been carried to the door, but no one from Bai Hou Mansion came out to greet them. His anger grew even more.
He angrily ordered his men to carry the stretcher into the house, but was stopped in the front yard.
"General Yang, please come in. Please leave the stretcher here. Someone will take care of them."
The one who stopped the men was Bai Fu, who had returned to being the steward of the Bai Mansion, and was accompanied by his son Bai Lin.
Yang Mu narrowed his eyes and stared at the two of them, with anger and disdain in his eyes.
"How dare you, a dog slave, stop me?
You know I'm a general, how dare you do that?!"
Bai Fu was suppressed by the momentum, like a mountain pressing down on him, and he almost knelt down with his knees bent.
Bai Lin supported his father and secretly used his internal strength to fight against him.
