Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Deputy General Qin said solemnly:

"This time the enemy's actions were hasty and their equipment was not as sophisticated as before. It felt like they were testing our defense and reaction."

He paused for a moment and then continued:

"In my opinion, the enemy's harassment this time is likely just a way to pave the way for subsequent large-scale operations."

Baili Ye frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "In this case, let's work together to formulate a defense and combat plan."

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Baili Ye's proposal.

General Mu immediately ordered someone to bring the map and spread it out in the tent.

Everyone gathered around and began to carefully study the surrounding terrain and the enemy's possible attack routes.

"In my opinion, we can set up at these mountain passes..." Baili Ye said, pointing to several key points on the map.

Qinghe nodded, pointed to another place and said:

"The view here is wide, and we can maximize the power of the artillery."

Everyone arranged the next strategic deployment and combat plan based on the specific situation.

Prince Baili Ting nodded in approval: "General Mu, Deputy General Qin, please make arrangements as soon as possible according to the plan you have made."

The two generals bowed and said, "As you command."

After saying that, the two of them quickly took action.

Soon, large quantities of gunpowder and cannons were transported to the designated location.

Under the command of the general, the soldiers carried out the defense work in a tense and orderly manner.

Qinghe and his cronies who came with him taught the soldiers how to operate the artillery correctly, how to quickly load gunpowder during battle, and also...

Baili Ye led his soldiers to shuttle back and forth between various positions, checking the deployment and ensuring that there were no omissions.

After a busy day, the deployment work was finally completed.

The entire western military camp was on high alert, waiting for the enemy to attack.

The arrangements for the western military camp have been completed. After Qinghe, Baili Ye and Baili Ting said goodbye to the soldiers, they began their journey to the northern border.

The plane landed smoothly at the camp on the northern border. The cabin door opened and Qin Xingzhou had already received a pigeon message from Crown Prince Chen and others who came to the military camp to express their condolences.

At this time, Qin Xingzhou was leading his soldiers waiting here.

The prince and others got off the plane. Qin Xingzhou stepped forward quickly, knelt on one knee and saluted, saying: "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the General, and the Princess."

Baili Ting quickly helped him up and said, "General Qin, please stand up quickly. No need to be so polite."

After exchanging a few words of greeting, everyone walked into the tent together.

Qin Xingzhou stood up, cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you, Your Highness. Yesterday, I received the news that you, Prince Chen, and Princess Chen came to visit us. On behalf of all the soldiers, I would like to thank the Emperor for his grace, Your Highness, the General, and Princess Chen."

Baili Ting said sternly: "General Qin, you don't have to be polite. This time we are here, first, to comfort the soldiers, and second, to inspect the defense here and discuss countermeasures together."

"Yes."

Baili Ye added:

“General Qin, before we came here, we went to the southern, eastern, and western borders and noticed unusual movements by the enemy forces in the east and west.

Now, one of the Turkic and Western Liang countries is buying grain and supplies, while the other is borrowing grain and supplies. Father and I have discussed countermeasures, but the situation on the northern border is also not optimistic. "

"Uncle, has there been any unusual movement on the border between the two countries recently?"

Qin Xingzhou nodded slightly and said:

"Reporting to the General and His Royal Highness. Ever since Dasheng signed a ceasefire and trade agreement with the Turks, the Turks have been actively promoting the construction of border trade routes with us.

The situation is different in Xiliang. Recently, the enemy has been active in this area and often harasses our border residents.

But our soldiers held their line and did not let the enemy succeed.

Our north has suffered severely from the recent snowstorm, and the situation in Xiliang is not optimistic either. In previous winters, Xiliang often robbed caravans and harassed villagers at the border due to a shortage of supplies.

This snowstorm has made matters worse for Xiliang. I believe that Xiliang’s request to borrow grain is fake and they want to use it as an excuse to start a war.”
