My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

"Who was the person fighting against the general?" Wen Nian asked in a low voice with a gloomy look on his face after helping Zong Yanli finish using the medicine.

"Min Wenshan's adopted son, Xue Liqing, is a fierce general of Qi State." Zong Yanli took a deep breath and put on her clothes. As if she had noticed Wen Nian's thoughts, she looked up at him and said, "This man's strength should not be underestimated. Even I can't defeat him. Don't act on impulse."

Wen Nian's heart choked and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

Zong Yanli said calmly: "I am just testing his strength. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Once I find his weakness, it won't be too late to fight him again."

Zong Yanli smiled slightly, looked at Wen Nian and said, "If there is a chance, I can let you try your hand."

"Go and call the military doctor, and you go and bandage your wounds too." Zong Yanli said to Wen Nian, and Wen Nian responded and went out.

Feng Pei came over after hearing the noise, and after checking Zong Yanli's pulse, he said, "General, your injury is in your internal organs. I will prescribe some medicine."

Then he advised Zong Yanli not to get angry or resort to violence in the next few days, otherwise his internal energy would be disrupted and it would be easy to cause further injuries.

After Zong Yanli agreed, as soon as Feng Pei left, she summoned all the generals to discuss matters. Feng Pei looked at Zong Yanli's tent and sighed deeply. He was too lazy to say anything like "take good care of your injuries and don't overwork yourself."

The news that Zong Yanli had successfully ambushed and killed Xue Liqing and escaped unscathed instantly reached Du Zhe's ears. Du Zhe didn't even have time to change his armor and hurried over to see Zong Yanli.

"General Zong Yan, what's going on..." Du Zhe looked at Zong Yanli's pale face, half leaning on the chair, and it was obvious that he was injured.

"It's just a minor injury." Zong Yanli smiled and motioned Du Zhe to sit down and discuss the matter together.

"This time the ambush was a small victory. Min Wenshan was very alert and the Qi army is composed of elite soldiers. The next battle may not be so easy..." Zong Yanli arranged his words and then made some additional suggestions regarding this meeting with the Qi army.

On the other side, Min Wenshan also successfully entered Pofu Pass from Daqu Gorge. Min Wenshan sat there anxiously looking around, and only felt relieved when he saw Xue Liqing coming back with his own eyes.

He personally went out to greet him and called out, "Li Qing, what happened to my son?"

Xue Liqing's silver armor was broken, and his face looked a little embarrassed. He strode towards Min Wenshan and said, "Foster father! The person who fought against me is Zong Yanli!"

Min Wenshan's expression was startled, and he immediately asked, "How is it?"

"His reputation is well-deserved." Xue Liqing's eyes were quite serious, and he frowned deeply and said, "If I want to kill him, I'm afraid it will take some effort."

Xue Liqing felt a little uneasy when he said this. He could see that Zong Yanli was no match for him, but this man had an unusually calm will and his swordsmanship was extremely domineering. If the fight continued, he himself couldn't say who would win or lose.

But in front of my adoptive father, I must grit my teeth and stand firm in my position!

Seeing Xue Liqing being so cautious, Min Wenshan couldn't help but feel sorry for the two men. He paced and thought, "When this man first entered the Northland, he played the Northern Kingdom and Lu Kingdom around. Now he dares to ambush and kill our army without any preparation."

"Both his marching strategies and tactics are outstanding." Min Wenshan didn't take Xue Liqing's words to heart at all. At this moment, he had completely placed Zong Yanli on an equal footing with himself, and he was somewhat confident in his fighting ability.

"Don't underestimate him." Min Wenshan saw Xue Liqing's embarrassed state, and immediately put on a fatherly smile and said, "Liqing, you have made great contributions in protecting my father. I will reward you!"

"You go down and heal your wounds first, and don't leave any hidden dangers!" Min Wenshan said with concern.

"Thank you, godfather." Xue Liqing showed joy on his face and immediately bowed his head in agreement.

Min Wenshan watched Xue Liqing leave, and the fatherly expression on his face gradually faded. He sat in deep thought for a long time, then raised his voice and called out, "Go call the commander of Pofu Pass, and the generals from the other camps to come and discuss matters."

The two armies officially faced off, each launched its military deployment, and a war was about to break out.

Min Wenshan found that he knew very little about Zong Yanli, and knew nothing about the military strength of Daqian, so he had to go to great lengths to find out.

Zong Yanli did not plan to give Qi too much time to react. After a few days of rest, he sounded the clarion call for attack again.

This was probably the first time that Zong Yanli sat on a chariot. As a wounded soldier, she finally took on the job of giving orders. Beside her stood a dozen personal guards, like a proper commander, instead of always charging into the front.

Long Feiguang, Kuang Xingquan and the others kept looking back. To be honest, they felt uncomfortable without the general in front of them...

"The Qi army's formation is very clever." Standing in the rear also has its advantages. Zong Yanli can observe the battle situation more intuitively. The purpose of her attack this time is very simple, which is to find out the enemy's offensive, how the army is arranged, and the strength of the generals who will fight.

"Cavalry?" Zong Yanli looked at them and said, "The cavalry is a little weak."

"The shield formation is extremely stubborn and difficult to break."

Zong Yanli watched it bit by bit, while commanding the two armies to fight against each other, he asked Pei Liang to record the changes in the enemy's army formation, and ordered the messenger to report back the situation of the left and right wings, so as to simulate and figure out the best strategy to meet the enemy as quickly as possible.

The Qi army obviously had no intention of meeting the enemy, and the two armies tested each other and then retreated to their camps.

In the military tent, Zong Yanli finished drinking the medicine as usual and was calculating the battle array at his desk, his brows slightly furrowed as if he was lost in deep thought. Du Zhe stood outside the tent, looking at the candlelight that was still on, and couldn't help but approach Gao Feilin and asked, "General, how many days have you not rested?"

"Since you are injured, you should not work so hard." This war will not be over in a short time, and there is no point in rushing it.

"Alas, I have tried to persuade him." Gao Feilin sighed. How could he persuade the general? He pursed his lips and said, "Deputy General Wen has been here, but it's still the same."

Du Zhe was somewhat impressed and felt even more ashamed. He looked up and saw Long Feiguang coming back from the night. He couldn't help but glared and said, "Why are they all so desperate from head to toe?"

Gao Feilin was silent. He really didn't know how to answer.

Long Feiguang still had some cold dew on his body. He walked over, nodded to Du Zhe, and asked Gao Feilin, "Is the general resting?"

"Not yet, General Long, please go in." Gao Feilin made way, Long Feiguang nodded, lifted the curtain and went in.

Duzhe touched his nose, felt that he seemed to be doing nothing, and turned around and left silently.

In the tent, Long Feiguang came to report on the military deployment in various places and the terrain survey.
