Chapter 832 - 829: Competing for Supremacy in the World
"Yes!" The Yan soldiers responded loudly.
As the Emperor of Yan stepped into Chang City, far away in Daliang, Bai Qingyan, the Princess of Zhen, led her forces into Yangjiang, just one Yuegu City away from Hancheng, the capital of the Liang Kingdom. The Liang Army hastily retreated to Yuegu City.
After entering the city, Bai Qingyan customarily inspected the camps, instructing the soldiers to take care of the infected civilians and soldiers.
Perhaps because Yangjiang City is close to the capital of Daliang, the epidemic here was better controlled, and there were not many infected civilians and soldiers. However, for the same reason, Yangjiang was harder to conquer than those cities severely affected by the epidemic.
Before inspecting the wounded soldiers’ camp, Bai Qingyan received a secret report that the Liangting court officials were persuading the Emperor of Liang to move the capital for national protection. She pondered for a moment and then sent someone to summon Zhao Sheng and Zhao Ran to her command tent. By the time she returned to the tent, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Ran had been waiting for a while.
"Big Miss!"
"Princess of Zhen!"
The two stood up quickly and saluted upon seeing Bai Qingyan return.
"Sorry to keep you waiting..." She removed the sword from her waist and placed it on the table, then swiftly knelt behind the table and said, "I asked you to come because I received news that the court officials of Liangting are urging the Emperor of Liang to move the capital. I plan to send you two to bypass Yuegu and head straight to Hancheng! Besiege the east, west, and north gates of Hancheng but don’t rush to attack! Your movements towards Hancheng must be quick and must be completed before the Emperor moves the capital."
Zhao Ran straightened his back: "But now, with Daliang troops stationed in Yuegu, if General Zhao and I take the heavy forces away..."
Zhao Ran suddenly paused, lowered his gaze, thinking for a moment, then looked at Bai Qingyan: "Big Miss means to capture the emperor?"
