In the Snow: The Prince of Beiliang Rebelled at the Beginning

Chapter 29: Strengthening Border Defense: Bai Qi's Strength

Liuzhou.

The northernmost point.

Bai Qi was on the south side of Gusai Mountain, climbing up to look into the distance and gazing at the horse farm below.

There was another person beside him, wearing armor.

It was the deputy general Hou Hai.

"General, we have set up barriers around us, and the surrounding Beimang spies have been cleared out."

Hou Hai said.

"Hou Hai, I don't expect you to resist the Northern Mang army's southward advance, but you have to take good care of this grassland."

Bai Qi warned.

"Don't worry, General. I did everything according to your instructions."

Hou Hai said.

"I think the Northern Mang army will not give up this time." Bai Qi said. Hou Hai thought for a moment and asked, "General, do you think... the Northern Mang army will continue to move south? Or will they take back the grassland?"

Bai Qi thought about it and said, "No."

Hou Hai was a little surprised, "Why is the general so sure?"

Bai Qi: "After this battle, the Northern Mang will definitely think that we have deployed a large number of troops here. Given Dong Zhuo's suspicious nature, he will not attack for the time being. As long as you patrol every day and don't reveal any loopholes, I can guarantee that you will be safe for a year."

Hou Hai asked in surprise: "General, is it true that Dong Zhuo will not attack us?"

Bai Qi smiled and said, "Once we conquer Shu, Dong Zhuo will surely take action."

Hou Hai was a little confused.

He didn't believe it.

It was his wish to be left alone, but he was still a little worried.

After all, it was his first time facing it alone.

"Deputy General Hou, you have to believe in yourself." Bai Qi said, "During the days you have been with me, I have taught you everything I should have taught you, and you have learned quickly. Don't underestimate yourself."

"That's it. Your appointment will come soon."

"Here, let me congratulate you on becoming the Beiting Commander."

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Hou clasped his fists towards Bai Qi and said, "Thank you, General."

Bai Qi smiled and said, "It's not me you should thank, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Beiliang."

Hou Hai grinned and said, "Of course I have to go and thank His Highness."

Bai Qi stared at Hou Hai for a moment, then nodded and said, "Now he has reached the highest level of the Vajra Realm."

Hou Hai laughed and said, "My ability is nothing in front of the general."

Bai Qi said: "His Highness said that as long as you work hard, you will make rapid progress."

Hou Hai said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, General. I will not let you down."

Bai Qi jumped on his horse and pointed forward with his whip, "Captain Hou, from now on, you are the ruler of this land."

Hou Hai smiled.

Bai Qi rode away.

Hou Hai, alone and on a horse, stood on a high mountain, watching the man and the horse gradually go away.

"Your Highness, General, I won't let you down." Hou Hai muttered in his heart.

…………

Bai Qi did not stay in Gusai Mountain, but headed straight for Jiange with 5,000 troops.

Only 5,000 soldiers were left for Hou Hai.

Bai Qi arrived at the border between Liuzhou and Shu, but he simply set up camp for his troops and then headed for Liuzhou city alone.

When the soldiers of Liuzhou City saw Bai Qi, they opened the city gates and welcomed the general.

"General Bai Qi is back!"

This news immediately spread throughout Liuzhou City.

The entire Liuzhou City knows how powerful Bai Qi is.

We welcome General Bai even more.

Hearing this, Bai Qi, who was on horseback, also had a smile on his face. He was enjoying this feeling very much.

After all, he is just a young man in his twenties.

He muttered to himself:

"That's great."

"This feeling... is like being drunk, high and low."

"No wonder so many people want to be successful, to be loved and admired."

Rush all the way.

Bai Qi entered Liuzhou City.

Liuzhou is now under military control, and everything is under Bai Qi's control.

Arrived in front of the provincial capital of Liuzhou City.

A military clerk came out hurriedly.

"Meet the general!"

"Li Zhubu, please write a letter to His Majesty." Bai Qi said. Li Zhubu asked, "General, what do you write?!"

"Liuzhou cannot be without a governor for a day. Military control is certainly necessary, but Your Highness, please send a candidate for the governor of Liuzhou." Bai Qi said.

"General, Liuzhou is still in a state of war readiness. If the governor comes, there will probably be chaos," Li Zhubu reminded.

Bai Qi rolled his eyes at Li Zhubu and said, "How could this general not know?"

"But, this general is about to attack Shu. How can you take care of Liuzhou City?"

"With the governor of Liuzhou, I can focus on fighting and not be distracted by the bullshit in the rear."

Seeing that Bai Qi was angry, Li Zhubu immediately changed his words and said, "I, I will go now."

When Bai Qi saw Li Zhubu turned around and left, he called a soldier to inform the generals who remained in Liuzhou.

He sat in the meeting room, waiting for everyone.

When the people under Bai Qi's command in Liuzhou saw Bai Qi, they all saluted to General Bai:

"See General."

"Everyone, long time no see!"

Bai Qi said with a smile.

One of the generals asked, "General, are we going to attack Shu this time?"

Bai Qi smiled and said, "It seems your information is very accurate."

Another general said, "Jiang Bian was sent to guard Shu, along with his master."

"This Jiang Bian is also a character." said one of the generals.

"No matter who he is, we must take Shu." Bai Qi said, "Taking Shu is like getting a granary of the world, which will be beneficial to us. However, it requires everyone to work together."

When everyone heard this, they looked determined and no one backed down at this time.

"The general has given the order, and we will not refuse even if it means death!"

"The general has given the order, and I will take over Shu!"

"..."

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and heroic spirit, and their voices echoed in the conference hall.

In the meeting room, morale was high.

Seeing this, Bai Qi was very satisfied.

He needs this kind of morale.

In the future, when we attack Shu, there will be no need for mobilization.

Bai Qi ordered: "General Zuo!"

"To!"

"You lead 5,000 soldiers to Miyun Mountain and build defenses."

"Yes!"

Bai Qi: "Right General!"

"Have!"

"You lead 10,000 troops, and I will go to Liuzhou, near the border of Shu, and garrison Tiemen Pass."

"Leader!"

Bai Qi: "Captain Cheng!"

"exist!"

"You lead a thousand soldiers to patrol the Jiange area. Remember, it's a patrol. Don't get entangled with them."

"Yes."

Bai Qi: ...

All military affairs have been arranged properly.

One of the generals asked, "General Bai, when do we attack?"

Bai Qi said: "When the time is right, I will tell you."

Even though everyone present had doubts about Bai Qi, they all believed in him.

"General, it has been drafted. Take a look."

Li Zhubu hurried in from outside and presented the drafted document to Bai Qi.

The latter picked up the document and glanced at its contents. "Just send it to Beiliang as you requested."

Li Zhubu immediately withdrew and went to do his errand.

"All of you go and deploy. Liuzhou City is now under military control for the time being, but a governor will be here soon. Everyone can put aside the government affairs at hand and concentrate on fighting."

After Bai Qi finished speaking, he waved his hand.

Everyone left the meeting room.

Get out of the state capital.

Several generals gathered together.

"Great! The governor is finally coming!"

"We lead troops to fight, not govern the place!"

"Now that we have people here, we can focus on fighting."

"Yes!"

"..."

Everyone started talking.

These people like to fight wars and don't like to govern provinces and counties.

Especially, there are so many tedious things to do all day long, which is extremely exhausting.
