Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 422

Chapter 422: Chapter 419: Avenging the Past Humiliation_1

Xun Tianzhang waved his hand after he finished speaking, and the soldiers left the commander’s tent. Only then did Xun Tianzhang’s son step forward to support him, his eyes full of worry: "Father... today is not a day for battle. Why burden yourself with heavy armor? Your body can’t take it!"

Xun Tianzhang leaned half of his body against his son. He looked at the continuous mountains visible from outside the tent, his eyes slightly red...

His greatest wish in this life was to reclaim Yushan Pass, which rightfully belonged to the Liang Kingdom. After Bai Weiting’s death, although he mourned, he also thought the time to reclaim Yushan Pass had arrived.

He knew that his lifespan was short. If Heaven pitied him, it would let him reclaim Yushan Pass, which had been lost by his Xun family, before he died. Thus, he could face the ancestors of the Xun family with honor.

"Cough, cough!" Xun Tianzhang coughed heavily a few times.

"Father!"

Xun Tianzhang firmly grasped his son’s hand, preventing him from shouting.

With a great battle imminent, it was considered ominous for the commander to be gravely ill.

He forced himself to request to lead the battle, not to let the elite soldiers of Daliang stop here.

He swore to reclaim Yushan Pass and wash away the disgrace!

"Send someone to inform General Gu, who is besieging the Lord of Gaoyi from Jin Kingdom. He must capture the Lord of Gaoyi within three days, dead or alive!" Xun Tianzhang spoke word by word.

Bai Qingyan carefully examined the construction map of Longyang City, her index finger resting on the location of the city’s canal.

To the north of Daliang was the sea, and the people of Liang were adept in water. They would definitely enter through this canal.

Lu Ping carried a bowl of hot soup into Bai Qingyan’s private tent and softly persuaded, "Eldest Miss, drink the soup and take a nap! The guards from our residence are already asleep."

Bai Qingyan took a sip of the hot soup, her eyes not leaving the map. She asked, "How was the interrogation of Zhao Tong?"

"He is a tough man!" Lu Ping replied.

Men of the Zhao family in Daliang naturally had strong backbones.

"General Bai! Wang Xiping requests an audience!" Wang Xiping called loudly from outside.

Bai Qingyan put down the hot soup, "General Wang, come in!"

Wang Xiping entered with a joyful expression, cupping his hands to Bai Qingyan, "As General Bai predicted, the Liang Army indeed did not engage in battle!"

"If the Liang Army sends people tonight to rescue Zhao Tong or to scout Longyang City for our army’s situation, General Wang, I’ll need your men to pay a visit to the Liang Camp." Bai Qingyan’s eyes held a faint smile. "Burn Liang Army’s granary!"

If the Liang army’s food supply was in crisis, they would either have to fight with their backs to the water or stay put.

Xun Tianzhang was cautious. Without a clear understanding of the Jin Army’s situation, he wouldn’t act recklessly.

If the Jin Army asserted their strong stance and sent a challenge letter at this time, Xun Tianzhang, even if he did not retreat, would not engage in a rash battle or attack the city.
