Chapter 329 Bai Erlang was kidnapped
Simon's army was on the verge of defeat, but at this moment a turning point appeared.
Bai Li's second brother, Bai Erlang, was held hostage and asked to withdraw Bai Li's troops a hundred miles, otherwise she would kill him!
The person who held him hostage was none other than Asana, who had stolen him out of Simon's prison and imprisoned him privately!
Asana fell in love with Bai Jilang at first sight on the battlefield, and from then on, she vowed to possess him body and soul.
When Bai Erlang was captured by her, she wanted to force him to submit, but he would not be moved by any threats or inducements.
Asana just got a medicinal powder, and even the most chaste men and women would obey it.
Unfortunately, before he could administer the drug, Bai Erlang was rescued by Bai Li.
She couldn't track down Bai Erlang and got very angry.
In a rage, he killed all her servants and guards.
After Bai Erlang passed away, she spent some time in a daze.
Although she was a princess, she was a person without any regard in the royal family.
Her brother Asam didn't care, her uncle the regent didn't care, and her mother didn't care either.
Although her mother had no time to take care of her, she doted on her.
She had been used to freedom and dominance since she was a child. If she wanted something, as long as she told her brother Asam and her mother, she could get it.
It is because of this that she developed her domineering and selfish character.
For the first time, she couldn't get the person she liked, which became a heartache for her.
After she indulged herself for a while, she made up her mind to find Bai Erlang.
Hearing that Bai Li had captured Qinzhou City, she knew that Bai Erlang must have come as well, so when the King of Jin sent out his troops, she disguised herself and came to Qinzhou with a dozen personal guards.
She took two servants and disguised herself as an ordinary peasant woman, sneaking into the city. Later, she volunteered to cook for the army. After finding out Bai Erlang's whereabouts, she waited for the opportunity to take action.
There was no chance in Qinzhou, so later Bai Erlang followed his father to Chizhou. She immediately mixed in with the army and followed him, planning to slowly look for opportunities after arriving in Chizhou.
But she didn't know that the discipline in the Great Zhou army was so strict. Bai Erlang was the deputy general, and the lower-level soldiers had few opportunities to see him, let alone contact him.
She stayed in the kitchen, collecting firewood, washing vegetables and cooking all day long. She never saw anyone else there, so it was extremely difficult for her to find Bai Erlang.
When she wanted to give up, her maid created an opportunity for her.
A small number of soldiers suffered from diarrhea due to eating too much. Bai Erlang, as the deputy general in charge of the army's kitchen, personally led people to the kitchen to check.
Asana took advantage of the fact that he was alone and unprepared, sprinkled drugs on him, knocked him down, and smuggled him out of the city.
At that time, Bai Zongren was fully focused on fighting, and before he knew it, his second son was kidnapped. It's embarrassing to talk about it.
When Bai Li heard the news, he was also furious.
She made careful arrangements for this war, striving to ensure that nothing could go wrong.
But who knew that despite all her calculations, she never expected that her second brother, a grown man, would be kidnapped on the battlefield and used as a bargaining chip to force her to withdraw!
When Simon the messenger came to deliver the letter in a swaggering manner, Bai Li's eyes were gleaming with a knife, and he wanted to stab him.
Bai Zongren was also very anxious, but he knew that he could not show any nervousness at the moment, otherwise he would be controlled by others.
"When two countries go to war, they don't kill envoys. I guess Marshal Bai and General Bai don't want to become public enemies and arouse public outrage, right?"
The messenger stroked his mustache, his small eyes rolling around, looking like a cunning mouse.
Bai Li smiled mischievously, wiped his nose with his hand, and said with a smirk, "I don't mind, so what if I become a public enemy? Who can do anything to me?!"
The messenger's face changed drastically, and his mustache was almost pulled off by him.
“You…you…”
The messenger looked at you for a long time but could not say a word.
Once a person loses her scruples, no one can threaten her anymore.
"Tell Asana that if my second brother loses even a single hair, I will pluck out all her hair, one by one, and leave her naked in front of everyone, like a plucked pheasant, for everyone to judge!"
The messenger's neck shrank. The more he listened, the more frightened he became. Isn't this too cruel?
Not to mention treating a woman, even treating a man is too cruel.
This makes life worse than death!
The messenger shuddered and suddenly woke up.
What's the point of speaking harshly?
Now that someone has the evidence in their hands, if Bai Li doesn't want to withdraw her troops, she will have to collect the body of her second brother. Let's see what she chooses!
The messenger regained his confidence and became arrogant again.
"Marshal Bai, I have delivered this letter. The decision is yours, Marshal Bai. Please make your own decision. I will take my leave now!"
"Goodbye!"
Bai Li said this with gritted teeth. What she wanted to do more was to send him to see the King of Hell.
After all, it concerns the safety of her family. Bai Li told Nangong Min to defend Qinzhou City. She immediately rode a fast horse to Chizhou to see what her father planned.
In the evening, Bai Zongren was not surprised to see his daughter arrive.
"Li'er, if one person were to cost the lives of millions, I believe you know how to make the decision."
"Dad, what are you talking about? I came here to discuss a foolproof plan with you, not to ask you to make a decision."
"What?"
Bai Zongren was confused. Are there any other options besides retreating or fighting?
"Dad, let's not rush. Let's first discuss where my second brother is being held and what Asana wants..."
Bai Zongren stared at his daughter blankly. He was ready to sacrifice his second son. After all, the war between Da Zhou and Simon played a decisive role.
From a public perspective, it is impossible to affect the overall situation for the sake of one person.
On private matters...
He couldn't do that either. After sacrificing so many soldiers, he gave up the victory that was within his grasp for his own selfish reasons at the critical moment.
His second son is destined to be abandoned!
But now, his daughter said that she could save his second son, his eyes lit up and he immediately regained his spirits.
Without his military uniform, he is just a father. How can he not be excited to save his child?
"Li'er, tell me quickly, how can we rescue your second brother? He... is only seventeen years old!"
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely rescue my second brother."
Then, Bai Li told her father in detail how to rescue Bai Erlang.
Simon's army received news that Bai Li agreed to withdraw, on the condition that she go to see her second brother in person to confirm that he is still alive.
Simon's army thought that if she entered the Simon camp alone, she might be able to capture the enemy's main general, and then there would be no need to fight the battle.
Without its commander, the Great Zhou army was in disarray, and more than 100,000 of their soldiers were directly wiped out, causing the Great Zhou to completely disappear and become a piece of territory of Simon!
So Qu Shao agreed without much hesitation.
In Simon's army tent, Asana was angry.
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
She threw everything she could onto the ground, and no matter how her servants tried to persuade her, it was of no use.
