When two armies fight, the most taboo is low morale.

Once someone becomes afraid of fighting and retreats, it will inevitably shake the morale of the army, undermine its fighting spirit, and even lead to the defeat of the entire army.

"Hahaha...Miss Yue, this is a very good idea."

Tang Chengying was truly astonished by Lin Shuyue's words. "Ayue is right. Defense is certainly important, but we already have the upper hand. We can't just wait for others to come knocking on our door."

After saying that, he slapped his thigh and stood up suddenly.

"Xie Yi."

"I'm here." Xie Yi bowed.

Tang Chengying put away his smile and solemnly ordered, "I command you to immediately dispatch three thousand elite troops to the location Miss A Yue just pointed out and set numerous traps. The deployment must be completed before dawn."

At this point, he suddenly remembered the celebration banquet tonight and added, "For the brothers who went out on the mission, the kitchen staff will prepare a feast for them when they return."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Xie Yi bowed and took the order before leaving.

Once everything was arranged, the atmosphere in the tent became relaxed.

At this moment, except for the taciturn Lieutenant General Zhao and General Tang who was watching the fun on the side, everyone else surrounded Lin Shuyue and praised her again and again.

General Luo also joined in the fun, praising her until her cheeks flushed.

After waiting for a pause, Lin Shuyue bowed and said earnestly, "My Lords, please don't praise me. Ah Yue only offered some humble advice. I don't deserve such praise."

Lin Shuyue's heart was as clear as a mirror. She only dared to speak nonsense because she had taken advantage of her past life's experience.

When it comes to leading troops in real battles and deploying troops, she is definitely not as good as these battle-hardened adults here.

She also understood that the reason why these veterans favored her was simply because in this world where women only knew how to embroider, draw eyebrows, and take care of their husbands and children, a young girl who could speak a little bit of the secrets suddenly appeared, and they felt a little surprised for a moment.

It was soon the hour of You, the sky gradually darkened, smoke rose above the military camp, and the aroma of meat filled the air, permeating the entire camp.

The celebration banquet was held in the open space in the military camp where they usually practiced martial arts.

At this moment, the soldiers were sitting cross-legged on the open ground. In front of each of them was a bowl of roasted wild game meat, two sesame cakes as big as a human face, two big, firm steamed buns, two bowls of hot dishes, a plate of pickled sauerkraut and spicy radish, and a large bowl of hot soup made from meat bones.

There is no alcohol. The discipline in the military camp is strict. Not to mention that the Turkic army is approaching and the war is imminent, even on ordinary days, drinking is not allowed in the military camp.

As for the fact that each person only had one bowl of meat, it was not because the kitchen was stingy, but because there were so many soldiers in the barracks that the prey that General Tang had ordered people to hunt in the mountains during the day was not enough for them to share.

The prey included wild boars, wild deer, wild goats, etc., and they ate whatever meat they were given.

For the soldiers who train hard every day, they are already very satisfied.

There was a high platform in front of the open space, which was usually used for the generals of the Zhenbei Army to give speeches. At this time, there were several tables of food on the platform.

Lin Shuyue's position is at the lower left of General Tang, and opposite her is General Luo.

Next to General Luo, there was a stranger sitting. The man was talking to the person on his left with a gentle expression, but his face was a little pale and he coughed once or twice from time to time.

Lin Shuyue couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"That's Lieutenant General Liu." Xie Yi appeared out of nowhere and sat down next to her.

Xie Yi's eyes swept over her pretty face and continued, "Three years ago, when our army was fighting the Turks, he blocked a knife for the general.

The knife wound was deep in his chest. Although the military doctor saved his life in time, his heart and lungs were damaged. When the weather turns cold, his old injuries will relapse. He has been recuperating these days.

"I see." Lin Shuyue nodded slightly.

At this moment, Tang Chengying, who was sitting at the head of the table, suddenly stood up and raised his glass to Lin Shuyue solemnly: "Last night's battle was all thanks to Miss Ayue. I have a thousand words to say. Please."

Lin Shuyue hurriedly stood up, picked up the wine glass, and said modestly: "General, you are too kind. Compared with the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, Ah Yue's contribution is really not worth mentioning."

After saying that, she raised her head and drank the wine in the glass.

This wine is Shaodaozi, a kind of liquor unique to the north. Compared with the white wine in the previous life, the taste is a bit bland.

Seeing Lin Shuyue being so straightforward, Tang Chengying couldn't help but smile and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Then, he refilled his glass, raised it high, and looked at the soldiers in the audience: "My fellow soldiers, last night our army annihilated 5,000 enemies, captured their camp, and even captured the enemy general alive. This is truly a great joy. Come, drink this cup with me!"

The soldiers in the audience picked up the broth in front of them, stood up in unison, and shouted, "The General is mighty! The Zhenbei Army is mighty!"

The sound shook the whole area and was full of heroic spirit.

Lin Shuyue was infected by this scene, and a sense of pride surged in her heart.

After that, the atmosphere was very good with people toasting each other on the stage, while the soldiers below ate meat and drank broth with big mouthfuls. Some men who had enjoyed the meal jumped into the open space and engaged in impromptu wrestling, which drew cheers from the surroundings.

Lin Shuyue was watching intently when she suddenly realized someone was looking at her. She quickly turned her head to follow the gaze, but unexpectedly, her eyes met those of Lieutenant General Liu.

Lieutenant General Liu obviously didn't expect her to be so sharp. A trace of panic flashed across his face, but it was only for a moment, and then he returned to his usual gentle expression and nodded slightly at her.

A faint smile appeared on Lin Shuyue's face, and she nodded in return.

Xie Yi withdrew his gaze thoughtfully, lowered his head and stared at the wine in the glass, not knowing what he was thinking.

The celebration banquet did not end until late at night. Lin Shuyue had drunk some wine, and the city gates were closed.

Therefore, under the leadership of Captain Li, she moved into the tent that General Tang had already arranged.

The next morning, just after dawn, Lin Shuyue was awakened by slogans outside the tent.

She got up and put on her clothes. Before she reached the tent door, she heard someone approaching outside the tent, followed by a familiar voice.

"Miss Ayue, are you awake?"

Lin Shuyue recognized Xie Yi's voice and without thinking much, she walked directly to the door and lifted the tent curtain, and saw his back.

Xie Yi, who was wearing armor, heard the movement behind him and turned around.

Only then did she notice that Xie Yi was holding a basin of hot water in his hand, with a towel neatly folded on the edge of the basin. Compared with his armor, it seemed a little strange.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Xie Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his voice a little hoarse.

Lin Shuyue nodded slightly, but her eyes were fixed on the basin of hot water in his hand, and she was a little suspicious for a moment.

Isn't it hot water that was sent to her? Why haven't you given her the basin yet?

Perhaps guessing what she was thinking, Xie Yi's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he said, "Is it convenient? I'll bring it in for you."
