Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 821

Chapter 821: Chapter 817: Very Outstanding

She raised her eyes to look at King of Xihuai: "Can you hold out until late March or early April... when you see the Rong’s ghost-faced prince? Can you defend until the ghost-faced prince leads his army across Jin Kingdom to attack Yan Kingdom? Almost four months, does the King of Xihuai dare to gamble on Wei Kingdom’s safety?"

While battling herself, Bai Qingyan has never stopped monitoring the battlefield situation in Yan and Wei Kingdoms. News is constantly being delivered... Bai Qingyan, skilled in warfare, had already seen through Yan’s battle plans. The routes were exactly as she had expected.

According to the latest military intelligence at hand and Bai Qingyan’s calculation of the Yan Army’s speed, factoring in the time for forced marches, Xie Xun and the Second Prince Murong Ping were likely about to converge on, or had already converged at, the outskirts of Chang City.

As for Wei Kingdom, they had very few usable generals left!

Chang City, that is the capital of Wei Kingdom!

Even though Wei Kingdom had been forced to relocate its capital to Weishu City, Chang City was still considered the capital in the hearts of the Wei people!

If Yan Kingdom were to take Chang City, it would be equivalent to having Wei Kingdom completely underfoot. Wei Kingdom could not allow such a thing to happen and thus had no choice but to dispatch Great General and Grand Marshal Song Guanxu, who had not donned his armor for many years, to lead troops to defend Chang City.

Xiao Rongyan had already known that Bai Qingyan’s assessment of the situation was almost prophetic, so he wasn’t thrown into panic despite being seen through.

What Bai Qingyan said was not wrong. According to the plan he set before leaving, the Second Prince Murong Ping and Xie Xun should have already joined forces and were likely laying siege to Chang City.

Yan Kingdom was determined to take Chang City, but not immediately. After all... even if Yan Kingdom took Chang City, as long as the Imperial Family of Wei was still around, Wei could continue to move its capital and retreat further back. Wei Kingdom would still exist.

To cut off the source, Yan Kingdom aimed to lure Wei Kingdom’s main forces to Chang City, and then make a flanking attack toward Weishu City, the new capital, to completely eradicate the Imperial Family of Wei.

King of Xihuai was discomfited by the deep and tranquil gaze of Bai Qingyan. Since he had been on the run with Xiao Rongyan, he had not received any battle reports for a long time. Could it be that... the Yan Army was really advancing so quickly, almost reaching Chang City, or already there?

Great General and Grand Marshal Song Guanxu leading troops? Wei Kingdom had suffered so many defeats without deploying Great General Song Guanxu, not just because of his advanced age, but also because he was bedridden and dependent on medication to stay alive. This fact had been kept tightly under wraps since Song Guanxu was the stabilizing force of Wei Kingdom. Given the tense relations with Yan Kingdom back then, they dared not let this news out.

If it was indeed as the Princess of Zhen said, then... how much longer could General Song last?

"Ever since being pursued, I have not received any news from Wei Kingdom!" King of Xihuai panicked and looked toward Xiao Rongyan, "If that’s the case, we must act immediately. Rongyan, we must seek the ghost-faced prince of Rong!"

Xiao Rongyan nodded to King of Xihuai.

"No need to be too anxious, King of Xihuai. By my estimation... Yan Kingdom won’t attack Chang City immediately!" Bai Qingyan smiled faintly, "If I were the commander of Yan, I would station troops at the forefront of Chang City to draw Wei Kingdom’s main forces there, and then dispatch fierce generals... to sweep past Chang City and strike Weishu City, the new capital of Wei!"

King of Xihuai’s heart skipped a beat, his eyes widened as he looked at Bai Qingyan.
