For Shi Lidie and Shen Yanxi, some things don't need to be said too much.

After Hui Xiang and Wen Tan left, Shen Yanxi took out the ring he had carved and gave it to Shi Lidie, and she accepted it without any pretense.

There is no need to look ahead or behind, just follow your heart.

If Shen Yanxi was sent back to the modern era in the future, she and he were destined to be separated in two time and space, but at least at this moment, right now, her heart was satisfied and happy.

She will not regret her choice.

Another two months passed. During these two months, Shen Yanxi had used his strengths to design and improve many weapons and equipment, making the cold weapons of this era even more powerful.

During this period of time, Chen Zhao had written a memorial to the emperor regarding the two paintings by Shen Yanxi, and now he has received a reply.

Chen Zhao took the emperor's reply to the princess's residence. When he saw Shi Lidie, he did not keep her in suspense and said:

"Your Majesty has decided to go to war against the Southern Barbarians."

Shi Lidie was curious when she heard this:

"You've decided so quickly?"

Chen Zhao explained with a smile:

"It was fast, but it has been two months, so it is not hasty. Your Majesty has considered it carefully."

"First, your majesty sent someone to deliver these two blueprints to the Tiger Wing Army at an urgent speed of 800 miles and gave them to General Qi Jingze, asking General Qi to secretly send a small team to explore along this route."

"Then General Qi's men discovered that this route was passable and led directly to the back mountain of the Nanyi altar, which is where the Baimu tribe is guarding. This proves that the plan we discussed before is feasible."

"Secondly, your majesty has summoned the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Works to discuss the feasibility of attacking the Southern Barbarians this time."

"Since unifying the Central Plains and annexing the State of Ye, the territory of the Dayin Dynasty has expanded, tax revenue has increased, and the treasury is full. There is more than enough money and food to supply military needs."

"In addition, both the Pei family and General Qi have never stopped training their troops even after conquering Ye State. The Northern Di and Southern Yi are still our enemies, so there is no need to worry about the combat effectiveness of the army. Moreover, there is the princess' fiefdom, which can provide a steady stream of logistical support for the army."

"Furthermore, the princess provided Zhuge Liannu and gunpowder, these war artifacts, and recently, Mr. Shen who is beside the princess has developed and improved many weapons. This is a great improvement to the combat effectiveness of our Dayin Dynasty."

"The Dayin Dynasty unified the Central Plains, following the general trend that the world will eventually unite after a long period of division, which is the harmony of heaven; we have a map leading to the altar of the Southern Barbarians, which is the geographical advantage; the Dayin Dynasty is united, the monarch is wise, and the ministers are capable, which is the harmony of people."

"Your Majesty, we have everything going for us. If we are still timid, it would be a bit petty."

After hearing this, Shi Lidie nodded and agreed very much.

Maybe no one likes war, but if war is for the sake of longer-term peace and to make life better for people on this continent, then a short war is not a bad thing.

She thought for a moment and asked:

"This time, the attack on the Southern Barbarians must have been handed over to the Tiger Wing Army. Did His Majesty say what he wanted us to do?"

Chen Zhao shook his head:

"Your Majesty said that fighting is the business of the soldiers. The princess has provided you with maps, sophisticated weapons, and powerful weapons like gunpowder. That is enough."

Shi Lidie smiled. Although the emperor did not ask her to do anything, she still wanted to do something within her ability:

"The terrain of Nanyi is complex, with many mountains and forests, and there is a lot of miasma in the forests. Most of our soldiers only fight on the border of Nanyi and have never penetrated deep into the hinterland. They have no resistance to the miasma of Nanyi."

"Give orders to have half of the workers in the garment factory make purses. Put some medicinal herbs that can dispel miasma and prevent air poisoning in the purses to ensure the safety of the soldiers when they travel through the forest."

"Let the medical department go out and collect the herbs. Give them a fair price. Do not bully the herb farmers or squeeze the drug dealers. After the herbs are sorted by the medical department, send them to the garment factory and put them into your pocket."

"Also, the southern region is hot, so have the R&D department concentrate on making a batch of hand-cranked fans. They don't need to be too big, but should be easy to carry. Then we can send them to the soldiers in the south to prevent them from getting heatstroke during the march."

Shi Lidie thought of all the conceivable difficulties that might occur during the march, and then gave corresponding response strategies, which were bound to allow the Tiger Wing Army in the South to fight a very well-prepared battle.

Shi Lidie doesn't understand anything about fighting.

But she knew that as long as the court of the Dayin Dynasty had an adequate supply of food and grass, no one was dragging its feet, there were no spies collaborating with the enemy and committing treason, and she had sufficient logistical support, then this battle would be unlikely to be lost.

There were two main difficulties in defeating the Southern Barbarians in the past:

First, the miasma in the mountains and forests.

Second, the terrain is complex.

But now, the appearance of Shen Yanxi directly opened up a secret passage from the Dayin Dynasty to the Nanyi, allowing the army to avoid the eyes and ears of the Nanyi and go directly into the hinterland.

Coupled with Shi Lidie's unrivaled medical skills, they are fully prepared for the prevention and treatment of miasma.

So, a month later, the Tiger Wing Army began its conquest of the Southern Yi.

The Tiger Wing Army's seven camps are divided into three parts:

The two camps with the smallest number of people stayed where they were and used sophisticated weapons to tie down the large army of the Southern Yi. Although they were outnumbered, the Dayin Dynasty relied on its powerful weapons and the long range of its bows and arrows to harass the enemy several times and then retreat quickly, completely diverting the attention of the enemy's large army.

The other three camps merged into one and attacked from the left side in an attempt to lure the tiger away from the mountain and transfer all the troops of the Nanyi royal court to deal with these three camps.

These three camps are so powerful that they give people the feeling of a main force. Even if the Nanyi find out that the front battlefield is just a small fight, most of them will think that these three camps are the real killer moves.

As for the last two camps being merged into a stealth team, they followed the map drawn by Shen Yanxi, crossed mountains and ridges, hid during the day and moved out at night, traveled lightly and deep into the heart of the Southern Yi, and brought gunpowder directly to the altar.

At the same time, in order to avoid unnecessary consumption, the emperor wanted to solve the problem of the Southern Barbarians in one go, so he transferred the troops originally stationed on the border between Dayin Dynasty and Ye State to the south.

The State of Ye had already been annexed, and these troops on the border between the two countries seemed less important, so they were transferred to places where they were more needed.

And they were supporting the two large camps of the Tiger Wing Army on the front battlefield.

Once the Nanyi come to their senses and dispatch troops to attack the main forces of the three camps, then this new batch of troops will directly advance on the front battlefield together with the two camps of the Tiger Wing Army.

In this way, the army of the Nanyi will have to split up, and their attention will also be drawn.

They couldn't detect where the stealth team was going, and that was the real killer move in this war.
