Chapter 39 Fraud to Death III
About half a pillar of incense later, the head of Shiraishi's guard entered Bai Hui's tent.
"It turned out to be his study, I haven't seen you for many days, and Lord Shiraishi is okay. Bai Hui kindly took Dong Qixue's hand and said.
"The last general, Dong Qixue, participated in General Bai. Thank you for your concern, Lord Shiraishi is all right. Dong Qixue knelt down and bowed.
Bai Hui hurriedly held up the young officer in front of him and said politely: "You and my uncle and nephew still need to be so polite?
When Dong Qixue heard this, he said with a solemn expression: "Old general, the matter of Suizhou has been revealed to the world. The king, the three army commanders, and the ice kings and ice generals were all furious when they heard this, and vowed to avenge this blood and fight to the death against the Chengtian Empire. However, although Lord Shiraishi was furious, he also knew that the strength of our army was far inferior to the enemy in front of him, so he could only rely on the strong fortress defense line to rub the enemy's strength and wait for the opportunity to counterattack. Today, he came here to learn from the old general about the specific battlefield situation on the front line of the Crescent River Valley. To tell the truth, Lord Shiraishi plans to set off soon, leading the 200,000 main forces stationed outside Menglan City to reinforce the Crescent River Valley and stabilize the defense line of the River Valley. ”
"I see. Thank you, Lord Shiraishi, for your kindness. However, Virtuous Nephew, please go back and tell Lord Shiraishi that the Crescent River Valley is worry-free for the time being, and there is no need for reinforcements. Please let the Ice God sit in Menglan City with peace of mind. ”
"Oh, why is that?" Dong Qixue said puzzled.
"Huh. To tell the truth, the commander of the enemy's party corps was killed in the heavy shelling of our artillery division a few days ago. In addition, more than 300,000 enemy soldiers were killed by black-clad cannons, and countless people were wounded. Today, my reconnaissance unit went deep into the enemy camp and saw with my own eyes that the enemy camp was white, and the sound of mourning and joy was incessant. And Chahe Buhua's coffin was also transported back to the Chengtian Empire by its deputy army commander Su Butai with great fanfare. Now, the Shangdang Legion is leaderless!" Bai Hui said with great interest.
"Oh, the commander of the enemy army, Chahe Buhua, is dead? This is great news! If this is the case, my Crescent River Valley defense line can indeed rest easy for a while. Alas!" Speaking of this, Dong Qixue suddenly sighed.
"What's the matter? Cha He didn't spend that big devil dead, the virtuous nephew should be happy, why did he sigh just now?"
"The old general doesn't know anything. Beihai County is currently in turmoil, and the twelve defenses of the Iron Sword and Ice King have been broken through by the Black Wolf Daluo General Jebe of the Chengtian Empire. After the frustration of the frontal attack, the black wolf Jebe personally led an elite force to detour through the Qilin River, evading the reconnaissance of our army, and suddenly went south to break through the Bailu Pass. Subsequently, the Black Eagle Legion of the Chengtian Empire airdropped troops to Bailu Pass overnight, and defeated the counterattack of our White Bird Legion, blocking the reinforcements in the direction of Longquan. At this moment, Jebe's million-strong army was attacking the Northern Naval Regiment stationed at the Twelve Passes from the east and west, and Lord Shiraishi was worried that they would not be able to hold out for long. Therefore, Matsuyama, north of the Crescent River Valley, asked the old general to be sure to strengthen the guard. I wonder if the black wolf Jebel will raid Songshan and support the Shangdang Legion after winning the twelve levels. ”
"Thank you for the reminder, Ben will immediately send the Flying Feather Army to Matsuyama, and together with the defenders there, occupy a favorable terrain and block Jebe's southward advance. It's getting late today, why don't you rest in Guanzhong and return tomorrow?"
"Thank you for the kindness of the old general, but he must immediately report the matter of the Crescent River Valley to Lord Shiraishi. Say goodbye, please take care of the old general!" Dong Qixue stood up and bowed to the sixty-two-year-old Bai Hui again.
"Take care!"
Soon after Dong Qixue left, Bai Hui immediately ordered the Feiyu Army to gallop to Songshan overnight to prevent Jebe's holy cavalry regiment from moving south. After everything was done, it was already the second watch, Feiyuguan sank quietly in the night, and Bai Hui was also tired of resting on his couch, sleeping very peacefully.
