Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 643 Entering the Palace ([-])

Bai Yu speaks loudly and is not afraid of the pressure of power.

The courtiers lowered their heads, Emperor Yuan Zhen's eyelids twitched, but the Queen Mother burst into tears.

Emperor Yuan Zhen was impatient to hear this, or rather, he was impatient to see the Bai family.

However, the Queen Mother was already crying aside. As a son of man and a king, he had to continue to act fair and strict.

Upon hearing this, he said: "I will look at the evidence later, you continue."

Bai Yu's Adam's apple rolled, and his speech slowed down a lot: "Li Xianzhao was defeated all the way, and fled to Pingcheng with his own soldiers. Wherever he went, he left orders to open the city to meet the enemy."

"When he was retreating to Pingcheng, the Northern Yan army had not yet reached Pingcheng, so he led his men to plunder Pingcheng's grain and quietly transport it out of Pingcheng."

"These grains were found after Pingcheng was recovered and have been returned to the people of Pingcheng. Everything can be verified."

"Later, my father took command and went to war, and all eleven men of my Bai family went to the battlefield. When we arrived at Pingcheng, the Beiyan people had already reached the foot of Pingcheng."

"The people in Pingcheng are in dire straits. The enemy has not yet attacked, but they have been tortured to the point of death by their own people, and their bodies are completely bruised."

"My father quickly took control of Li Xianzhao and imprisoned his soldiers in a prison cell. While cleaning up the general affairs of Pingcheng, he led his troops to fight."

Bai Yu paused for a while and continued:
"The Beiyan people were unable to attack for a long time, so they thought of another way, which was to besiege Pingcheng. So my father received news that the Beiyan people were swinging down the cliff of Yinshan Mountain."

"It happened that at that time, people in the city were missing for no apparent reason. We had just found out some clues. The missing people in Pingcheng were abducted to Yinshan Mountain through a secret passage."

"So my father decided to lead [-] soldiers and horses to rescue the abducted people while blocking the descending Beiyan army."

"But once you leave, you will never come back..." Bai Yu's eyes were slightly red.

He took a deep breath and continued: "Pingcheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We can lead [-] troops to fight and hold on for a few days without any problem."

"But just when we shouldered our weapons, the soldiers began to feel weak all over. They could only die like melons waiting to be chopped, one by one, by the enemy's sharp blade."

"More and more of my companions died. Seeing that the enemy's army was about to wipe out all the soldiers, my uncle and my brother stuffed me into a bucket of night incense and told me that I must find out the truth."

Bai Yu's Adam's apple rolled even more fiercely:
"Later, when the storm had passed, I heard from the enemy that the reason why all [-] soldiers were wiped out was that Li Xianzhao, together with the Beiyan Shadow Guards who had been dormant in Pingcheng, poisoned the soldiers' drinking water."

"This resulted in tens of thousands of soldiers losing their offensive power and turning into lambs to be slaughtered. In the end, the entire army was annihilated. The place where the poison was made was in Liancheng. Although it was destroyed by Mingwei, traces were still left behind, which can be verified .”

"As for the dormant Shadow Guard, they came to assassinate Mingwei's master when he returned to the court. My second sister-in-law, Ren, was killed by the Shadow Guard's sword just to save Mingwei."

Bai Yu didn't shed tears, but she was so sad that she couldn't help herself.He wiped his cheek and continued:

"It was only after I escaped that I realized that the reason why Li Xianzhao suddenly disappeared into the cell during his imprisonment was because he was rescued by Beiyan people."

"He had the secret of Pingcheng, so he took advantage of this and sold the secret passage to the outside of the city to the Beiyan people, making it easier for the Beiyan people to steal people and use them as salt mining labor."

"At the same time, the disappearance of the people also diverted part of the defender's attention, buying time for the entire plan of Beiyan's deployment and control."

"Later, it was he who betrayed all the relevant information about Dongling soldiers to the Beiyan people, and personally led the Beiyan people to harm his companions."

"To confirm this, I spent several months tracking Li Xianzhao until I found him on the run in Beiyan."

"I personally heard the whole story from his mouth, and it was also confirmed that he was the initiator of the fall of five cities and the annihilation of [-] soldiers!"

After saying that, Bai Yu knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for the [-] soldiers who died unjustly!"

Bai Yu's words were simply stating the facts, without revealing any personal opinions or evaluations, nor exaggerating any sad emotions.

His words were easy to understand, even the illiterate chamberlain could understand him clearly.

This war was too heavy after all.

It's so heavy that it smells sad and listens to tears.

It was a time of trouble and disaster, and many people had experienced the cruelty of war. Naturally, they could imagine the circumstances under which [-] soldiers were killed.

His body was weak and weak, and the sword he swung out could not cut the enemy in the slightest. He could only face death, a desperate and desolate death.

What a cruel sight it was.

All ministers who had some conscience choked up.

Only Emperor Yuan Zhen, who was superior and should be the most sympathetic, still felt that these [-] soldiers were just cold numbers.

His thoughts were spinning rapidly, always looking for errors and omissions in Bai Yu's words.

When Bai Yu finished speaking, he thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "In the final analysis, your father is still useless!"
