I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 34 There is a Reborn Person in the Mansion 33
The main force of the Qin family army was stationed in the west. Qin Shuye only returned to Zuluan City when there was no battle, so it was normal for him to fight against Hu Lu Kingdom.

Due to the superior strength of the enemy forces to the north, the Women's Army could only send a small number of scouts and Qin Family Army soldiers to the west. The majority of them had to head north to cooperate with the Anbei Army in fighting the enemy.

Yu Muhuai was not a reconnaissance soldier, so she had to follow Yuan Linjie's main force and could not fight alongside Qin Shuye.

When she learned of this news, the troops had already been mobilized and were ready to depart in two days.

With so much preparation work to do before the battle, Qin Shuye didn't even have time to say goodbye to his sister before riding off to lead his troops to the Qin family army camp in the west.

The opportunity that Yu Muhuai had been hoping for—to go into battle and fight—was about to arrive.

The wind howls fiercely over the Jianhe River, snowflakes are wide and thick; the sandy pass is frozen, and horses' hooves slip off.

The further north you go, the lower the temperature gets.

This winter in the north is the coldest it has been in over a decade.

After marching for seven days, the army finally arrived at the northern border.

Snowflakes fall intermittently from the air, and even after the snow is cleared, the ground freezes over. One must be extremely careful when walking to avoid slipping and falling.

However, even under such severe conditions, soldiers are required to be fearless in the face of death and fight bravely against the enemy.

This is the unstoppable fate of the soldiers; for some, their destiny ends in this battle.

Yu Muhuai used to love reading. The historical books he had read mentioned numbers such as "240,000 Han and Wei were destroyed", "100,000 civilians in the city were all slaughtered", and "400,000 surrendered soldiers were buried alive". These numbers were all made up of piles of bones and fresh lives.

Now, Yu Muhuai has become an insignificant member of the numbers. It's just unknown whether her number belongs to the victors or the vanquished.

At night, Liu Xiaoduo and Li Yuanyuan crawled into Yu Muhuai's bed.

When Yu Muhuai was in college, she used to sleep with her close roommates, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Liu Xiaoduo smiled憨厚ly, folded the three blankets together and covered them with one blanket, saying with a grin, "Xiaomeng, it's too cold, let's squeeze together, it'll be warm!"

Li Yuanyuan and Liu Xiaoduo look somewhat alike. They are distant relatives, both with single eyelids, thick lips, and round noses, giving them a very honest and simple appearance.

However, unlike Liu Xiaoduo, Li Yuanyuan was very tall, standing at 1.75 meters. The bedding issued to female soldiers in the military camp was just enough to cover her feet.

Li Yuanyuan has a great figure, with a curvy figure, which Yu Muhuai saw when he was taking a shower.

If this were in modern times, she would definitely have the figure of a beauty pageant contestant.

Yu Muhuai had been drooling over it for a long time.
"We're about to go to war with foreign enemies, aren't you afraid?"

Li Yuanyuan covered her head with the blanket, afraid that the sound would disturb others, so her voice sounded somewhat muffled.

Although Li Yuanyuan was tall, she was very timid. If it weren't for Liu Xiaoduo's company, she might not have dared to join the army.

The two women had been in the army for less than a year, and had previously only participated in some tasks to suppress bandits, never in foreign wars.

It's impossible not to feel panicked when we travel thousands of miles to fight in the far north.

Liu Xiaoduo remained as carefree as ever, and said with a nonchalant attitude.

"I have nothing to be afraid of. We're not the vanguard, and we don't earn military merit by killing people. We get paid without having to be at the front, so isn't that safe enough?"

Liu Xiaoduo is right. On the main battlefield, the fighting was mainly done by the Anbei Army. Apart from their pre- and post-battle duties, their role in engaging the enemy was primarily auxiliary.

Therefore, all cavalrymen in the Women's Army had to be qualified archers.

Yu Muhuai also lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry too much. Our military strength is quite good, and the enemy is the attacking side, so we have an advantage in terms of terrain. Moreover, the harsh climate makes it difficult for the enemy to transport supplies, which will affect morale. All things considered, we have a greater chance of winning."

Liu Xiaoduo and Li Yuanyuan were stunned for a moment before Liu Xiaoduo came to her senses.

"Xiao Meng, your analysis of the enemy and our side is so insightful! I don't understand any of this. All I know is that soldiers get paid, and with that money I can go back to my parents and siblings so my family can live a good life!"

"Me too, my dad's in poor health, and I'm the oldest. Xiaoduo said joining the army would pay me well, and we could have someone to take care of me, so I came. But I want the money, and I also want to live."

After hearing Li Yuanyuan's words, there was a moment of silence in the bed.

Having spoken with the two women before, Yu Muhuai knew that their county was not far from Zuluan City.

Although the civil war that happened decades ago is over, its aftereffects still linger.

The national population has decreased by nearly half, with many of the young and middle-aged people dying in the war, leading to the current polarization of the population.

Large tracts of abandoned farmland need to be cultivated by ordinary people, but in order to maintain national stability, taxes have to be increased.

Joining the army provides a salary and tax exemptions, making it the best option for families like Liu's and Li's to have one member in the military.

However, these impoverished people at the very bottom of the pyramid do not like war.

Ordinary people don't understand military and political strategies; their thinking is very simple.

Having enough to eat, being warmly clothed, and having safe and sound family members—this is the lifelong wish of most of them.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Muhuai broke the silence and said, "Don't worry, it will all come true. Be careful not to get hurt by stray arrows, observe the surrounding battle situation, and you will definitely be able to return safely."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoduo grinned, her smile endearingly adorable.

"Xiao Meng, I believe in you. You're destined to be a general!"

Although Yu Muhuai was the last to join the Women's Army, she progressed extremely quickly, and her physical fitness improved to the level of a normal soldier. This is what Yu Muhuai said when Liu Xiaoduo asked her about her reasons for joining the army.

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good cook!"

She didn't understand what a cook was, but Liu Xiaoduo understood the word "general." Therefore, in her mind, Yu Muhuai had come with lofty ideals and beliefs.

Yu Muhuai: No, I just wanted to kill someone.
The three chatted casually for a while before finally falling into a deep sleep.

The next morning, before dawn, the bugle sounded in the military camp.

The border is not like Zuluan City; the tents accompanying the army are much lighter and more worn, and the food is much simpler.

The temperature is lower, the conditions are harsher, and the environment is more severe.

But no one dared to slack off.

All the soldiers quickly put on their uniforms and stood in formation.

To keep warm, each soldier wore thick cotton-padded clothes under their armor, and their wrists and ankles were tied with thin ropes to prevent the clothing from hindering their movements.

Before the main force arrived, Yuan Linjie had already gathered intelligence and made strategic plans.

After the military commanders held a meeting last night, they can directly assign formations and issue military orders today.

Although Yu Muhuai was the younger sister of a general in the Qin family army, she had no military merits and was just an ordinary soldier here. It was only at this time that she learned about all the deployments.
