God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

Hu Yanji led an army of 300,000 to the border. During a rest stop, his personal guard said worriedly, "Your Highness, our army has attacked many times before, but we have never been able to capture Mocheng. Even if you bring so many troops this time, I'm afraid we may not be able to win."

The second prince Hu Yanji frowned and said in a deep voice: "I know this in my heart, but my father insists on fighting again, what can I do?"

The guard followed closely and asked, "Your Highness, is there really no way?"

Hu Yanji's eyes shone, and he said, "Let's not talk about this for now. How is the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

The guard quickly responded: "Your Highness, the spies reported that the commander of the Chu army this time is none other than their Crown Prince."

Hu Yanji frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "No wonder it took so long to capture Mocheng. It turns out that the Crown Prince of Chu was in charge personally."

The guard then said solemnly, "Your Highness, according to reliable information, this Chu prince is not only resourceful and good at strategy, but also has a very high prestige in the Chu army in several battles, and is deeply supported and trusted by the soldiers."

When Hu Yanji heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he responded without hesitation: "This prince must go and meet him in person to see how capable he is!"

However, the guards looked worried and quickly advised: "Your Highness, we have launched several attacks before, but each time we suffered heavy casualties. If we act rashly again this time, I'm afraid the result will still not be optimistic..."

Hu Yanji frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly raised his mouth corners, revealing a sly smile, and said slowly: "However, we are not without a chance of winning. Since the prince of Chu is so powerful, why not try to cooperate with him?"

Upon hearing this, the guard was shocked and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, are you trying to... gain benefits through cooperation?"

Hu Yanji crossed his arms and nodded confidently, "That's right! As the saying goes, 'When a general is away from home, he may not obey the orders of the emperor.' Sometimes, being flexible and adaptable can lead to unexpected victory. As long as we can reach some kind of agreement or cooperation with the prince, we may be able to reverse the current unfavorable situation. As for my father, I will explain the reasons to him after the matter is accomplished."

The guard was still a little worried and said hesitantly: "Your Highness, what if the emperor blames you for doing this? After all, it is a serious crime to make decisions without the emperor's permission!"

Hu Yanji patted the guard's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry too much. As long as this can succeed and gain greater benefits for the country, the emperor will understand our approach. Besides, if the stalemate continues, not only will we lose soldiers and generals, but it may also affect the foundation of the country."

The guard's expression eased a little after hearing this, but he was still a little nervous: "Then how does Your Highness plan to contact the Crown Prince of Chu and discuss cooperation?"

Hu Yanji looked at the distant Mocheng with deep eyes and said, "This matter needs to be considered carefully and should not be rushed."

At this time, the military horn sounded and the army continued to move forward.

A few days later, Huyanji and his army arrived at the border. Huyanji looked at the city wall from afar, secretly calculating in his heart.

At night, in the tent, Huyan Ji discussed tactics with several generals.

A general said: "Your Highness, in my opinion, it is better to send people to make a tentative attack first to find out the deployment of the Chu army."

Huyanji shook his head slowly and said solemnly: "Absolutely not! Doing so will only send the brave and fearless soldiers to die in vain." He swept his eyes over everyone with deep worry and helplessness.

At this time, another general stepped forward and put forward a new suggestion: "Since a frontal assault is not feasible, can we consider a siege strategy? Cut off their food supply and make them fall into chaos without fighting."

This idea sounded reasonable, but everyone was still pondering it.

Chahar then said, "Your Highness, after these several battles, our army has suffered heavy losses. And every time we carefully plan the battle plan, the enemy always seems to be able to see through our intentions in advance, as if everything is under their control." There was a hint of confusion and frustration in his words.

Halsev on the side nodded repeatedly and agreed: "That's right, this situation is really weird. It really makes us feel as if the enemy has known all our plans for a long time."

Hu Yanji frowned and muttered to himself thoughtfully: "Could it be that there is a spy in the army?"

However, Chahar immediately denied this speculation: "It is unlikely that he is a spy. There was once an action plan that only the general and I knew, but the enemy still saw through it in advance."

After hearing this, Hu Yanji fell silent. He folded his hands over his chest and paced back and forth thinking about countermeasures.

After a moment, he stopped, raised his head and said decisively: "Let's put this matter aside for now. I will think about it carefully before making a decision. Let's stop here today."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the generals looking at each other, their hearts still full of mystery and worry.

In the Chu army tent, everyone sat together to discuss countermeasures.

Jun Moyuan's eyes were solemn, and he said slowly: "The enemy army has now added 300,000 troops. The situation is extremely unfavorable to us. What do you think about this?"

Mu Yanyu stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, the enemy's strength far exceeds ours. It may be difficult to win in a head-on confrontation. Only by defeating the enemy with wisdom can we have a chance of survival."

Lu Tianhao continued, "I think we can first send people to spy on the enemy's food supply route. If we can cut it off, the enemy will be thrown into disarray."

Jun Moyuan nodded slightly: "This plan is feasible, but the enemy will surely be prepared, so we need to act with caution."

Another general said, "Why don't we pretend to be defeated, lure the enemy deeper into our territory, and then set up an ambush?"

Everyone expressed their opinions and the atmosphere in the tent was lively.

Jun Moyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Everything you said has its merits, but we still need to consider it comprehensively and formulate a comprehensive combat plan."

Lu Tingyan, who had been silent the whole time, raised her lips slightly, her eyes flashing with a mysterious light, and said softly: "Your Highness, I have been concentrating on studying a secret weapon in recent days. If Your Highness is interested, how about we try it first and then talk about it in detail?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yanyu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with interest, "Oh? I wonder what this secret weapon that the county lady mentioned is?"

At this time, Lu Tianhao couldn't help but said, "Sister, it turns out you have been tinkering with this thing these days in a mysterious way! Tell your brother what this treasure is." His face was full of confusion, but his eyes revealed concern for his sister.

Jun Moyuan said with a smile: "County Master, is it convenient for you to take us to see this secret weapon? It will also broaden our horizons."

Lu Tingyan nodded happily and said, "Since you are all so interested, please follow me." As she spoke, she took light steps and walked in one direction first.

Upon seeing this, everyone followed closely, secretly wondering what kind of astonishing treasure would be revealed before their eyes.
