Chapter 1023 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One hundred and forty-five)
Black Wind Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it does hinder the army's advance. However, the terrain is steep and it is not easy to take a detour.
Guo Xuezhen's three armies, the east and west armies, both took a long detour for three days before launching the attack at the designated location to attract the rebels' firepower.
He had already made the arrangements, and the east and west routes cooperated with him. Once the food and grass were burned and the signal flares were fired, it would be time for the central army to break through Black Wind Mountain.
Every few seconds, you can see signal flares in the sky, either far or near. These are the soldiers delivering messages.
Zhao Lan watched helplessly as the food supplies burned, raging with rage, and led his troops straight towards Guo's army. Guo Xuezhen, a shrewd and calculating man, had already set a trap. He first designed to provoke Zhao Lan, then, when his own troops were defeated, let Zhao Lan pursue them, gradually leading Zhao Lan's army into a pre-set encirclement.
Zhao Lan was arrogant and wanted to chop off Guo Xuezhen's head in one fell swoop. However, he fell into Guo Xuezhen's trap due to his careful planning.
After a hard battle, Zhao Lan fled back to the camp in a hurry with the remaining forces.
At night, Guo Xuezhen took advantage of the rebels' defeat and low morale to launch a night attack.
Zhao Lan was still treating the wound on his shoulder when he heard the fighting outside. He quickly put on his clothes and left the tent to command the soldiers to fight the enemy.
Just as Zhao Lan was gradually becoming exhausted and worried that Guo's army would seize Black Wind Mountain, Ding Yangshu had already led his troops to the camp.
The two sides fought for several hours. When white light appeared in the sky, Guo Xuezhen ordered a retreat.
Zhao Lan's old wounds ripped, new ones multiplied. His sword stuck in the ground, he half-bent over, gasping for air. "Guo Xuezhen, Wei Ying, Zhao Qing, Song Shuyun, Empress, Consort Shu... I, Zhao Lan, will never coexist with you!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and would never forget who had harmed him like this, whether it was Wei Ying and Song Shuyun who were looking for something to hold against him, or Zhao Qing, Concubine Shu and the Queen who ordered his capture, or even Guo Xuezhen who personally led his troops to attack him, they were all his enemies.
In the tent, after the military doctor bandaged the wound, Ding Yangshu asked everyone to leave.
There were only Zhao and Ding in the tent. Ding Yangshu was very disappointed with Zhao Lan's eagerness for quick success, but he couldn't fall out with him.
Zhao Lan has declared himself king. He claims that treacherous ministers are in power, his father is incompetent, and the world is in chaos due to the evil concubine. He revolted under the banner of restoring order and recovering Dazhao, and now walks the world as King Qiming.
As his subordinate and father-in-law, Ding Yangshu only advised him to think twice before acting.
Zhao Lan also realized that he had made the same mistake as Guo Xuezhen. Don't chase after a desperate enemy. Beware of traps. After Ding Yangshu left, Zhao Lan punched the ground. How did he end up like this? Who was to blame for all this? Blame that bitch Song Qingting!
Zhao Lan recalled the past and realized that all his misfortunes started when he believed Song Qingting's lies.
"Someone, bring that woman up here!"
Song Qingting was roughly pushed to the ground by the soldiers, and her palms and knees were bruised. Before she could cry out in pain, Zhao Lan grabbed her neck.
"Tell me everything you know!"
Song Qingting had been pinched for so long that she was used to the purple bruises on her neck and her own voice, which was as unpleasant as a crow's cry.
It was just that the last time she escaped from the capital, Zhao Lan cut her neck with a dagger, leaving an ugly scar.
She shuddered and said, "I, what I know may be false and will mislead you. You will blame me."
Zhao Lan slapped him. "Just say it if I want you to. Why didn't you realize it before? You knew it might be fake news, yet you still lied to me so confidently!"
Song Qingting's face was swollen and she couldn't even cry. What a sin she had to have! Meeting this bastard Zhao Lan!
Wuuwuwu, has her father given up on her? Why hasn't he come to rescue her yet?
It’s all Song Qingli’s fault. It must be Song Qingli who said something bad, so Dad gave up on her!
Her mother doesn't want her anymore!
Song Qingting covered her face and signaled Zhao Lan to relax a little, otherwise she would really die if she was pinched again.
After Zhao Lan released his hand, Song Qingting took a deep breath.
"I heard that Guo Xuezhen has a little daughter who has been missing for many years. He has been looking for her for many years. In fact, that person is in Fengli County, at a farmer's house. You can find her and threaten Guo Xuezhen."
Zhao Lan's eyes lit up surprisingly. "Where is this person? Is she really Guo Xuezhen's daughter?"
"Guo Xuezhen had a little daughter named Guo Youbai. She disappeared when she was five years old while burning incense. In fact, she was sold to Fengli County and bought by a widow. As for where she is, I, I don't know."
Fengli County is so big, aren't there many widows with daughters? How long will it take to find them?
Another "pop" sound was heard.
"What's the use of you!"
Song Qingting lay on the ground, touched the blood at the corner of her mouth, and really wanted to die like this!
Death is the end of everything!
