Female-to-male: I live on farming

At this time, in a camp several dozen kilometers away from them, Xiao Anyi was checking the casualties reported from below. Upon hearing the report from his servants, he looked up and asked in doubt: "Nan Qiao? What's the matter?"

Li Nanqiao bowed his head, saluted and said, "General, Nanqiao is here to recommend myself."

"Oh?" Xiao Anyi put down the report in his hand after hearing this.

"It is winter now, the weather is freezing, and the soldiers are wearing heavy armor, so they move slowly and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. Under such circumstances, the longer the war drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."

Seeing that Xiao Anyi did not refute and listened quietly, Li Nanqiao paused for a moment and continued, "If the war gets stuck, a sudden snowstorm can disrupt the army's deployment. The roads in winter are covered with snow, making it difficult to march and transport food and grass. Therefore, we need to fight quickly to capture Yizhou, otherwise our casualties will exceed expectations."

Moreover, the winter climate conditions are also a huge test for the soldiers' physical health. The severe cold weather can easily cause frostbite, illness, and even death. The long-term battles and harsh environment can make the soldiers physically and mentally exhausted and their morale low.

Especially since most of their soldiers were going to war for the first time, these were considerable challenges for them.

"I know everything you said." Xiao Anyi had a faint smile on his lips.

She came from a military background and had been familiar with military books since childhood, so she naturally understood these things better.

However, she knew that Li Nanqiao was originally an ordinary peasant girl in the village. She was illiterate and made a living by farming. She didn't even have a proper name before. The name Li Nanqiao was given to her after she met Lu Youqing.

It was Lu Youqing who taught her to read and write, and she lived up to his expectations by being very diligent and hardworking, using her free time to practice calligraphy.

Later, with the introduction of Qin Ke, she joined the army as she wished. She wanted to become a general like Xiao Anyi who fought on the battlefield, but she also knew that it was not enough to just go to the battlefield and kill people and repel the enemy.

Having followed a figure like Lu Youqing, how could she be content to just be a soldier? If she wanted to climb up the ranks, she had to practice martial arts diligently and read military books. So she would read when she had nothing to do in the military camp.

"You work very hard and have done well in recent days." Xiao Anyi looked at her with undisguised admiration. Anyone who saw this scene could realize Xiao Anyi's preference for her.

Admittedly, she accepted Li Nanqiao mainly for the sake of Qin Ke and Lu Youqing, but later when she formed a women's army, she completely changed her mind.

She knew that many people in the army were dissatisfied with her recruiting women as soldiers, and they talked about it in private, and some were even dissatisfied with her favoritism towards them.

She also knew that during the march, some male soldiers looked down on them, but she ignored them and let them argue. If she wanted to support this army, it was not enough to just favor and cultivate them. If she wanted them to truly win the respect of others, she had to look at their performance on the battlefield.

Just like Her Royal Highness the Princess in the past, she led the troops in the battlefield, commanded the troops like a god and made all the plans possible, and only after going through several wars did she win the trust and respect of all the soldiers.

"Then tell me. Since you have given me such a long analysis, I believe you have some plan. Tell me about it."

Li Nanqiao pursed his lips and said, "General, Yizhou must have received the news and must have taken precautions. We won't be able to capture the city in a few days. If the imperial court's reinforcements arrive, we will be attacked from both sides. So I want to take the Fengyu Guards and go ahead."

Fengyuwei is the title of their female army, which was given by His Highness Jinyang himself.

"How do you want to take the lead?" Xiao Anyi became interested and leaned back slightly.

"The Phoenix Feather Guards are naturally not comparable to other soldiers in terms of combat power, but they have their own unique aspects. People would never have thought that women would be in the army, so they are not so wary of women."

Xiao Anyi was so smart that he had guessed what Li Nanqiao meant and asked, "Do you want to lead a team to sneak into Xiaocheng, Yizhou? And then cooperate with the outside forces?"

"Yes, General. We Fengyu Guards can break up into small groups and sneak into Xiaocheng one by one. When you lead your troops to attack Xiaocheng, we will cooperate with you to launch an attack inside the city. This will greatly increase the chances of a successful siege."

After joining the army, Li Nanqiao spent most of his time in the barracks, and only returned to the Qin Mansion to visit his mother during his rest time.

During breaks, when she and Qin Ke and the others were having meals together, they would always chat. She had heard Qin Langjun propose the development path of the women's army.

Women are not as physically strong as men. This is a natural gender difference, and even training can hardly make up for the overall gap.

But women also have their advantages. In addition to being more resilient and having more stable temperaments, there is also the fact that the world is full of contempt for women.

This contempt makes them subconsciously look down on them, and then they sometimes choose to take advantage of this contempt, take advantage of their arrogance, and catch them off guard.

Li Nanqiao kept these words in mind at the time, or rather, she would take what Madam Lu and Qin Ke said to heart.

A few days ago, she thought of what Qin Langjun said, and this idea came to her mind. She thought about it carefully for a long time, and finally dared to bring it up today.

When Xiao Anyi heard her plan, he frowned and pondered for a moment before asking, "Do you know that if you enter Xiaocheng and encounter any unexpected danger, you will have no backup."

"Yes, I know that, but the Fengyu Guard sneaked into Xiaocheng to provide support for the army."

Xiao Anyi seemed to have not expected her answer like this. After being stunned for a moment, he laughed out loud and said, "Okay, I agree. Just tell me if you have any needs, and we will set off as soon as possible after getting ready."

"Subordinates take orders."

When Li Nanqiao heard that she agreed to his proposal, he couldn't suppress the joy on his face when he went out.

Xiao Anyi looked at Li Nanqiao's back with a hint of joy. She agreed with her plan and naturally had her own thoughts in her mind.

If you want to support Fengyuwei, you must give them the opportunity to show their skills and become famous. When people know the name of Fengyuwei, more people will come to join.

After all, relatively speaking, the number of Fengyu Guards today is too small.

As the name suggests, Fengyu Guard is the army that protects Lord Phoenix.

This is the army that can be truly loyal to His Highness. Only by loyally following His Highness can they have such a way out. After all, other people will not recognize and reuse the women's army.

Li Nanqiao, who was busy returning to the camp, was really excited. After all, this was her first time to carry out a mission alone. If the plan succeeded, it would be a great achievement for the Fengyu Guard. Who would dare to point fingers at them then?
