Chapter 320: War is not a joke
Bai Zongren looked at the two of them and couldn't help but sigh.
"Take a good look at who he is." No matter how much the man treated her, his daughter seemed to be crazy.
Nangong Min, you're on your own!
“He’s Namgoong Min?”
Bai Li was a little disgusted, "How did it become like this?"
What I was thinking came out without realizing it.
Nangong Min looked at Bai Li with his eyes obsessed. When he heard her tone of disgust, he was stunned. He looked down at himself and felt ashamed to face people. He left a word and ran away.
"Li'er, wait for me, I'll be fine soon!"
"Why……"
Bai Li waved Erkang's hand, wanting to say, I don't dislike you, I just couldn't recognize you.
"Let's go back to the government office."
The city wall is not a place to talk, but Bai Zongren has too many things to say to his daughter.
"Wait, my sculpture!"
Under everyone's gaze, the eagle flew proudly above Bai Li's head and followed her into the government office.
As soon as she sat down, Bai Li asked the question she had always wanted to ask.
"Dad, how long have I been away?"
Bai Zongren looked at his daughter with a speechless look. Except for the second time when she disappeared, when she was taken to Weinan, the first and this time she disappeared inexplicably for several days. No one knew where she went, which made people have a hard time looking for her and also caused them a lot of fear.
"You've been away for a full ten days this time! If you don't come back, Nangong will probably poke a hole in the sky!"
"What do you mean?"
“After destroying the Jin King’s army, Simon’s army of 200,000 men also arrived.
They have a big appetite and have surrounded our three prefectures: Qiangzhou, Chizhou and Qinzhou.
Their original intention was to force us to retreat. Their general Qu Mu told us that as long as we withdrew our troops obediently, we would leave safely.
When Nangong Min heard this, he went crazy!
He gathered all the thunderbolts you sent us and went to the Simon camp alone in the middle of the night to hurl them, causing them to cry out in despair. Tens of thousands of soldiers were lost, forcing them to retreat fifty miles that night.
This is an overwhelming winning strategy, but it is a bit unethical to use the most advanced weapons of later generations to deal with the ancients who used the most primitive cold weapons in ancient times.
In this case, if she wants to unify the six kingdoms, at least half of her people will have to die.
Bai Li has seen that in later generations, there are very few humans, and there are emotionless robots and high-tech products everywhere. Humans have been poisoned and mutated into various forms, and finally turned the world into a zombie world. She no longer wants such a primitive ecological environment and such simple ancient people to be destroyed.
If she hadn't had to, she wouldn't even want to use peanuts.
Even if it is used, it is used to serve as a warning to others, and it must never be used to kill people devastatingly.
"What I mean is that the Simon army is still stationed fifty miles away. Where is King Jin? Is he dead?"
"Prince Jin... is crazy!"
"What's got him into trouble?"
"he……"
Bai Zongren licked his lips and chose his words carefully.
"That kid Nangong, I'll go find him for a 'sparring match' whenever I have nothing to do, and then tell him that his influence in Simon has been gradually stripped away by the Regent, and now he's all alone, and then he..."
"Tsk, I thought he was such a formidable opponent, but this is all he gets?"
"Li'er, the Regent has sent another 200,000 troops to support Qumu. We don't even have 100,000 new recruits here. I'm afraid..."
"Dad, tell me, how many troops does Simon Country have now?"
"What?"
His daughter's focus was never online, and Bai Zongren almost forgot about it.
"According to information reported by spies, the Simon Dynasty has a total of 50,000 imperial guards, 50,000 city garrisons, and 700,000 soldiers in the national barracks. This does not include local officials and runners."
"That is to say, Simon State currently has less than 200,000 troops. If..."
"Daughter! You don't want to go straight to the capital of Simon Kingdom, do you?!"
Bai Zongren was so shocked that he stood up and even knocked over his chair.
"Dad, don't be so nervous. Let's quietly send an army to Simon's capital. Together with our spies, we can work together from both inside and outside to destroy their capital. This will completely eliminate the source of their troubles. Simon will never be able to recover."
Before Bai Zongren could say anything, a voice came from outside the door: "No!"
Nangong Min, dressed in fresh clothes, stepped in and was the first to object.
"Why?"
Bai Li felt a little distressed when she saw the man who had lost a lot of weight.
I just don't understand why the person who had said before that he would support her no matter what she wanted to do is now the first to oppose it.
"Li'er, let's make peace with Simon and return to the court with our troops, okay?"
Bai Li looked at him in confusion and did not answer.
Bai Zongren thought that Nangong Min had been stimulated recently and his mind was a little abnormal.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Both sides have torn their faces apart and started fighting. How can we withdraw our troops at this time?
"Give me a good reason."
Bai Li's eyes turned cold, and he no longer had the enthusiasm he had when they met just now.
Fighting is no joke, not even for her.
The army traveled thousands of miles to get here, not to mention how much suffering they endured. Just think of the soldiers who were killed and wounded. If there is no explanation for the Western Expedition, how can she be worthy of their souls?
Nangong Min didn't notice Bai Li's indifference. He was now like a stubborn child, insisting on his own opinion.
"Li'er, let's go back to the Great Zhou and live a good life. No more wars, okay? I'm really scared... I'm so scared of losing you again..."
Bai Li was about to start cursing when he suddenly stopped when he heard this.
Ultimately, it was her disappearance that frightened him and made him retreat.
She wanted to assure him that nothing like this would ever happen again, but her mouth opened and she couldn't say the words.
The first time she disappeared was because she was poisoned and hid in a space to heal her wounds, otherwise she would have lost her life long ago.
The second time, he was drugged by a witch doctor and lost his memory, becoming unable to control himself.
This time, it was the jade pendant that took her to the end of the world, and she had no choice.
She had disappeared three times, and even she herself couldn't guarantee whether there would be a fourth or fifth time...
"...War is a matter of life and death. My return is safe and sound, which is the best outcome."
"Even if we want to live in peace, but we have killed so many people like Simon, will they let us go?
There are also Laos and Mongolia, which countries are not eyeing us covetously, trying to annex our Great Zhou."
"Our original intention was to unify the six kingdoms and bring peace and prosperity to the people of the world, wasn't it because we no longer wanted to be bullied by other countries?"
Bai Li stared at Nangong Min's eyes, trying to awaken his fighting spirit.
The timid and withdrawn person in front of her was a stranger, and she was not used to it. She wanted to find the sunny boy who was full of vigor and ambition before.
Nangong Min was confused by what Bai Li said and was at a loss for a moment.
"Nangong Min, as soldiers of the Great Zhou, we must be responsible for our fellow soldiers and for the Great Zhou. We can't treat war lightly!"
