Chapter 168: Heavy Burden
Chapter 168: Heavy Burden
The old man suddenly had blood rushing into his eyes. He led his little grandson and staggered after the extremely fast army, and shouted: "Is it Xiaobaishuai?! Is it Xiaobaishuai of the Bai family army?!"
Hearing the name Xiaobaishuai again, a burst of hot and sour air rushed to her head, her eyes were sore, she clenched her fists tightly, clenched her teeth, and walked south steadily.
She has lost all her martial arts, and she is no longer the handsome little Bai she was back then.
Since she was seriously injured, she only knows how to pamper her, so how can she deserve to be called Xiaobai handsome? !
The old man held his grandson in one hand and ran after him as hard as he could, and said in a loud voice, "I am a teacher in Feng County! Four years ago, it was the general who rescued the only grandson of the old man from the enemy's sword! Four years later, it was the general of the Bai family and the army of the Bai family. Use flesh and blood to protect us and other living people to escape! The general is... a descendant of the Bai family of Zhen Guogong? But did you come to southern Xinjiang to retake the home of Feng County for us and other small people?!"
Bai Jinzhi's eyes were red and hot tears almost rushed out of her eyes, her heart was full of emotion.
It turned out that in the eyes of the border residents, the Bai family army was hope.
She looked sideways at Bai Qing, who was looking straight ahead, and said, "Eldest sister, the old man is calling you from behind."
Probably hearing the word "General of the Bai family", the people stopped one after another, and stopped in the direction where the old man was chasing and shouting. Some people also followed the old man after hearing the name of the Bai family.
"Xiao Baishuai?! Is he a descendant of the Bai family in Zhen Guogong's mansion?!"
"Didn't you say that the prince is here? Why didn't you say that there was a general from the Bai family accompanying him?!"
"Which general of the Bai family is it?"
"That handsome young master wears black gauze on his sleeve, he is in mourning! He must be the little general of the Bai family of the Duke of Zhen's government!"
Seeing that the army was going farther and farther, and the old man couldn't catch up, he hurriedly pulled his little grandson behind him, held him down and knelt down: "Quick! Chun'er knelt down and kowtowed, that is your savior!"
The young boy who was called Chun'er was ignorant and knelt down and kowtowed heavily in the direction of the army. The old man knelt tremblingly while leaning on his crutches, and shouted: "The generals of the Bai family and the Bai family army died protecting us and other border people. We wait for you!" Keep it in your heart! Little Marshal Bai, General Bai, you must take back Tufeng City of our country and avenge the generals... and the people of Jin who died in vain under the knives of bandits!"
"Is it really the general of the Bai family?!"
"Are there any generals in the Bai family? Haven't all the generals of the Bai family died in battle? Which general dares to come to southern Xinjiang! Forget it... The Tianmen Gate has been broken, we should escape early! Otherwise Xiliang Once the army arrives, we will all die!"
"Bah! What are you talking about! The generals of the Bai family are all men of indomitable spirit, you think you are just as greedy for life and afraid of death!"
A woman with a burden and a child in her arms knelt down with the old man and shouted: "General Bai, my man was killed by Xiliang people! I beg General Bai to avenge us and take back our hometown for us." ah!"
"General Bai!"
"General Bai, we must win! We don't want to leave our hometown!"
The border residents were emotionally affected by the woman's cry, and they knelt down one after another. They shouted the local dialect of Fengcheng or Fengxian, and called out to General Bai, asking General Bai to recover the lost land for the country, the homeland for the people, and die for the battle. General Bai's family took revenge.
When the people were in catastrophe, the generals of the Bai family rushed to the southern border one after another... laying down their lives for the people, how can such kindness not be cherished.
Sitting in the car, the prince lifted the curtain and poked his head out to look back. Xiao Rongyan sat in the car and looked at Bai Qingyan with red eyes, and at the people kneeling down one after another in the distance, feeling deeply in his heart.
Such a popular Bai family is regarded by the border people as the savior of the world. If they are lucky enough to meet a wise king... they will be able to build a world-shattering feat. Not bad.
It wasn't the first time Xiao Ruohai saw the people kneeling to send off the army, he used to be very happy!
But now, the common people are crying and kneeling to see the general of the Bai family as their hope, and they are putting the heavy burden on Bai Qingyan's shoulders.
Bai Jinzhi couldn't help turning his head, looking at the ragged, yellow and emaciated common people kneeling to see him off, with red eyes, he pulled Bai Qingyan's sleeves with his hands: "Sister, you really don't look back?! Those common people are kneeling down ..."
She gritted her teeth.
The people kneeling and crying with the old man had tears in their eyes. They saw the thin but tall boy in men's clothing with black gauze and filial cloth on his arms turned around and bowed to them, without saying a word. Fa then turned and went with the army.
Bai Jinzhi and Xiao Ruohai, who followed Bai Qingyan, also paid respects to the common people.
This time, thank the people for not forgetting the Bai family and General Bai.
She will bring their expectations back and take their home back! For the people who died in vain and the Bai family army...to avenge her grandfather, father, uncles and brothers!
The people kneeling on the ground boiled up.
"General Bai! It's really General Bai!"
"It's saved! We're saved!"
"General Bai has come to save us! We don't have to run away and be refugees!"
As the army marched, the closer they got to Wanping, the more refugees there were. Most of them were unwilling to leave their hometowns but had to leave because of the war. They were afraid that the peace talks would not go well, and the lives of ordinary people like them would be lost if the two countries went to war.
Seeing the 50,000 troops coming, the refugees stopped one after another, hoping that the national warriors could help them regain their homeland this time.
That night, the army arrived at the Wanping camp, and the city of Wanping was no longer as lively as it used to be. The family left Wancheng to take refuge, and the rest of the city were old and weak.
After settling down, Bai Qingyan asked the prince to convene all the accompanying generals for a discussion.
Inside the government office, candles are brightly lit.
The prince led everyone to stand in front of the huge map, and said: "Now we have arrived at Wancheng, and we will set off early tomorrow morning, and we can arrive at Wengcheng late at night without stopping. Hold on, the big battle is about to break out, and we are facing the Xiliang Nanyan coalition forces, and this battle can only win and not lose! Do you generals have a good strategy for winning?"
"Xiliang has occupied Tianmen Pass, and Nanyan occupies Feng County. In my opinion... we can only divide and attack them!" Shi Panshan folded his arms and looked at the map for a long time, then turned and cupped his fists and said to the prince, "Nanyan is not to be feared, Xiliang Liang's army is the real tough army, with strong armored soldiers! Especially Yun Poxing, a famous Xiliang general, apart from being defeated by the King of Zhen, can be said to be invincible and can only be outsmarted!"
"It's the same as not saying it!" Zhen Zeping was impatient, he clasped his fists and said to the prince, "Your Highness, just give me 10,000 elite soldiers, and I will bypass Tianmen Pass and come out from Pingyang City to attack his lair in Xiliang! I don't believe him." The emperor of Xiliang won’t recall Yun Poxing to guard their lair! As long as Yun Poxing leaves with a strong army, we will be familiar with the terrain of Tianmen Pass...with General Zhang Duanrui leading the army, we will be able to retake Tianmen Pass in one fell swoop!"
