Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1580

Chapter 1580: Chapter 1575: Raising the Army

Bai Qingyan pointed again at a location not far from Jiujiang, which now includes Yunzhong and Suan, two cities under the Zhou’s control: "Mobilize the soldiers from Yunzhong and Suan and create two ambushes along the routes that must be taken to reach Jiujiang and Xiping City! The first ambush should kill as many as possible, and once Jiujiang’s troops attack, feign retreat towards Xiping City. King of Jiujiang is inherently cautious; seeing this, he’ll definitely send scouts. As long as they discover another ambush up ahead, he’ll suspect that our retreat was a bait and won’t dare advance. If we can stall him for a day, we’ll capture Xiping and wait for the Anping Army to arrive..."

Bai Qingyan drew a circle in the direction of Jiujiang: "Then, we will advance westward and eradicate Jiujiang!"

"Thus, dealing with Jiujiang, setting ambushes here is crucial!" Bai Qingjue exclaimed, looking towards his eldest sister. "Eldest sister, leave this to me!"

"Eldest sister... please let me handle it!" Bai Jinzhi lifted the cotton curtain and entered, clasping her fists in request.

Bai Qingyan raised her eyes towards the doorway and saw Bai Jinzhi standing there resolutely.

"I am Gaoyi King of Zhou and somewhat famous in military matters. If I set the ambush and then feign defeat... it’ll further convince King of Jiujiang that a major force lies ahead!" Bai Jinzhi stated.

Xiao Ruojiang was slightly surprised by Bai Jinzhi’s firm attitude in requesting the task, originally intending to ask for permission to lead the troops himself after Bai Qingjue requested the task.

Bai Qingyan beckoned Bai Jinzhi over, watching her obediently approach, "The best ambush locations between Jiujiang and Xiping City are these two points, remember them... If King of Jiujiang doesn’t send troops, you cannot advance towards Jiujiang to provoke him! Just stay put here! If you encounter Jiujiang King’s ambush group, don’t linger in battle too long. You’re young, renowned for your military achievements, and courageous outside, the quicker and more decisively you retreat, the more suspicious King of Jiujiang will be."

"Understood, eldest sister!" Bai Jinzhi responded.

Bai Qingyan set the ambush between Jiujiang and Xiping City just in case King of Jiujiang sends troops; it would be ideal if he doesn’t move when she attacks Xiping City.

"Brother Xiaolong, please accompany Jinzhi..." Bai Qingyan still felt uneasy about Bai Jinzhi fighting alone and desired Xiao Ruojiang to accompany her for protection.

"Yes!" Xiao Ruojiang acknowledged.

After making thorough arrangements, Bai Qingyan and her group had breakfast, then instructed Bai Qingjue and Xiao Ruojiang to rest and conserve energy, leaving only Bai Jinzhi.

"I heard you told Lu Yuanpeng yesterday... you’d marry him once he awakens?" Bai Qingyan’s brows furrowed slightly, "Did you know Lu Yuanpeng is betrothed to a girl from the Wei family?"

"Eldest sister..." Bai Jinzhi lowered her head, "Before departing from Dadu City, I... I overheard Lu Yuanpeng speaking with Sima Ping."

Lu Yuanpeng told Sima Ping that he could give anything Sima Ping wanted, even his life, but not her!

Bai Jinzhi stood behind the wall; when Lu Yuanpeng uttered those words of severing ties, she watched the color drain completely from Sima Ping’s face, watched Sima Ping’s eyes turn colder, wishing she could rush out and beat Lu Yuanpeng until even his grandfather didn’t recognize him.

Why does he always demand Sima Ping yield to him? Why hurt Sima Ping so much! Especially... who she marries should be her own decision; she’s not an object to be claimed or yielded!

But, when the official said Lu Yuanpeng was near death, she really didn’t know what to do.

If Lu Yuanpeng dies, not only would this friend feel guilty, but Sima Ping might also never get over it.

Sima Ping and Lu Yuanpeng, such good friends, their last meeting marred by arguments... by severed ties.
