Chapter 1194 -1188: Deliver the Orders

Bai Qingyan nodded. The battle report was delivered non-stop. The messenger who brought the message must be extremely tired, so it’s better to let him rest well. It’s fine to ask tomorrow.

“Additionally, there’s news that General Cui’s military flag has been hung on the Xiliang Kingdom’s Yunjing City wall. It seems General Cui Shanzhong intends to defend Yunjing to the death,” Wei Zhong said while helping Bai Qingyan with the dishes. “Yunjing is now also under blockade; only entry is permitted, no exit.”

Bai Qingyan listened to Wei Zhong, then put down the frontline battle report, tapping her fingers on the table thoughtfully.

Chun Zhi and Wei Zhong stood behind Bai Qingyan, not daring to urge her to have her meal.

According to General Cui Shanzhong’s habits, hanging the military flag seems more like a deceptive maneuver.

General Cui Shanzhong has fought wars all his life. It’s impossible he would only defend without attacking when the enemy is at his doorstep. He wouldn’t just protect without driving the enemy away.

This doesn’t match General Cui Shanzhong’s usual style of fighting.

Perhaps General Cui Shanzhong hung the military flag in Yunjing to cover up other military actions and objectives of the Xiliang army.

If Zhou… now trapped in the encirclement of allied forces from two countries, attacked on all sides, she would never only defend the Capital. She would set up deceptive formations in the Capital, forcing two national forces, or at least one, to retreat for defense. This way, the pressure on Yunjing can be alleviated.

Among the Yan Army and Zhou Army, the best option is naturally to force retreat…the larger Zhou army.

Currently, the Emperor of Yan is in the Imperial Capital of Yan Kingdom, unreachable by General Cui Shanzhong.

And she, as the Emperor of Zhou, has not returned to Dadu City but is still in the Xiliang territory not completely controlled by the Zhou army…

Bai Qingyan closed her eyes, mapping out Xiliang in her mind, calculating the Zhou and Yan Kingdom’s marching directions and routes on the map.

After a while, Bai Qingyan suddenly raised her head and stood up. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

“Your Majesty?” Wei Zhong hurriedly stepped forward.

“Send orders, have the city defense general immediately dispatch scouts from the south gate to scout towards the Danshui River and Tianhong City, to see if there are Xiliang soldiers…”

Bai Qingyan barely finished speaking when suddenly the sound of drums from the direction of the city gate was heard.

Bai Qingyan stepped quickly towards the exit, shouting, “Which city gate?”

“Your Majesty, this old servant hears…it sounds like the north city gate, the east city gate, and the west city gate! There are drums in three directions!” Wei Zhong quickly said.

Round up the east, west, and north city gates, leaving the south city gate open. Isn’t this to block the exit routes of the three gates, giving her, the Emperor of Zhou, time, forcing her to only order troops to head out of the city towards Suining City and Yecheng Pass… Is Yunjing signaling for help?!
