After binding the system, I became a national mystery person

The country that I have always looked down upon is now so powerful.

"The State of Chen has such a powerful weapon, but our spies in the State of Chen haven't found any information at all?"

The Khan pounded the table angrily and roared at the Beidi advisers.

Originally thought to be a sure thing, now the Northern Di cavalry suffered heavy casualties, while the State of Chen suffered no damage at all.

With such a huge gap, it’s no wonder that the Khan of Beidi was so angry.

Inside the tent, the candlelight flickered, illuminating faces that were either frightened or terrified. The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the Khan's heavy breathing.

"Khan, please calm down," an old strategist with white hair and beard stood up tremblingly. He was the most famous wise man in Beidi, named Hurile.

"It's not that we are incompetent, but the weapons displayed by the State of Chen this time are unprecedented and powerful enough to overturn the battlefield.

Furthermore, the State of Chen strictly controls these weapons, which is why our spies were unable to detect any information."

"What's more," added another younger counselor, his voice steady but full of worry.

"The State of Chen has grown in strength in recent years and has taken strict precautions against neighboring countries. Our spies want to penetrate its core areas.

Obtaining top-secret intelligence is like trying to pull chestnuts out of the fire; the slightest mistake could lead to eternal damnation."

Khan's anger subsided a little after hearing this, but his brows were still furrowed.

"So, aren't we just going to sit and wait for death?

If Chen's weapons were used on a large scale, wouldn't the people of Beidi be in dire straits? "

The old man pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Don't worry, Khan. As the Art of War says, 'Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.' We don't know the details of Chen Guo's new weapons.

But now, we can send spies directly to the Chen army camp to steal those weapons."

"Furthermore," he changed the subject, "we can also use diplomatic means to unite the neighboring countries to jointly deal with the threat from the State of Chen.

Although Chen is strong now, a big tree attracts the wind. If other countries join forces, it will inevitably be isolated."

Khan Amuru pondered for a moment, nodded, and agreed with the idea.

"Aluhun, go and arrange for the spies in Chen to obtain this powerful weapon at all costs.

Whoever gets it, I will reward him with a thousand taels of gold and five beauties."

Amuru believed that there would always be brave men under a huge reward. As long as he could conquer the State of Chen, anything he wanted would be within his reach.

There is only a small obstacle now. I believe that Beidi will be able to defeat Chen soon.

Amuru Khan thought to himself that as long as he could get that weapon.

Even now, he still believes that he can defeat the State of Chen.

"Yes, Khan." Arghun took the order and left. Now time is life.

"Also, Khurile, you must immediately draft a letter inviting all the major tribes on the grassland to come and discuss the matter.

Although we, the Northern Di, are brave, we cannot fight alone. Only by uniting together can we defeat the State of Chen and share the spoils of war."

The Khan glanced at the crowd and nodded to the old man.

Hulele took the order and left. The camp fell into solemnity again. Khan Amuru knew that the Northern Di had no way to conquer the State of Chen and could only withdraw its troops.

It was late at night, and the shadows cast by the candlelight lengthened everyone's figure, reflecting their inner anxiety and expectations.

“Also,” the Khan said in a low voice, “strengthen patrols to ensure that the Chen Kingdom does not take advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

At the same time, reduce the troops and maintain the strength of the troops.

We must also give them confidence and not let this failure break the will of our Beidi men."

The generals nodded one after another. They knew very well that the failure of this battle had made many Northern Di soldiers panic and afraid of the State of Chen.

They no longer had the calmness and confidence they once had. If they had not been threatened by the Beidi generals, those Beidi soldiers would have fled the border town of Chen State long ago.

Everyone took their orders and left, and peace gradually returned to the tent.

Khan sat alone at the table, looking at the dark night sky outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He knew that he had single-handedly started this war, and now that he had suffered such a defeat, his subordinates might have already been complaining.

He could only increase his prestige by winning a turning point battle, defeating the State of Chen, and occupying the State of Chen.

...............

In the Chen State’s military camp, the generals were also urgently discussing countermeasures.

They had never expected that the Northern Di would react so quickly. They were attacking the State of Chen one second, and then retreated without any warning the next second.

Although Chen's weapons were advanced, they could not take the Northern Di cavalry lightly.

"There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. We must increase our vigilance to prevent sneak attacks from the Northern Di." A general said in a deep voice.

"At the same time, we must find out the movements of the Northern Di as soon as possible to see if they have any other conspiracies," another general added.

"Also," General Si Lie's voice was steady and powerful.

"Now that our weapons have been exposed, the Northern Di will definitely want our weapons, so we must heavily guard the weapons depot.

No one may enter without the permission of Her Royal Highness and me."

The generals nodded and left after receiving their orders.

The lights were on in the Chen State's military camp, and the soldiers were busy in a tense and orderly manner, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Two more days passed.

"What conspiracy does Beidi have? Why is there no movement yet?" Lin Yifeng frowned and said to the generals beside him.

"Yes, the Beidi's retreat this time is really too strange." An elderly general echoed, stroking his long beard.

"Based on my many years of experience fighting the Northern Di, I know they will never easily give up the benefits they have already gained."

“Unless,” another general suddenly interrupted, a hint of vigilance in his eyes, “they are planning a bigger conspiracy.

Perhaps they are secretly gathering their forces, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to us."

Hearing this, Lin Yifeng nodded in agreement. He had been in the border town for many years.

He was well aware of the cunning and tenacity of the Northern Di people, and he must never take their movements lightly.

"We must strengthen intelligence gathering and find out the true intentions of the Northern Di people," he said firmly.

So, Lin Yifeng activated the spies that he had left in Beidi a long time ago.

These spies were planted a long time ago. Now in Beidi, they can move freely in the Beidi camp and collect information.

They used their familiarity with the terrain and camouflage skills to avoid the Northern Di patrols and send valuable intelligence back to the State of Chen.

"General, Your Highness, according to our spies, the Northern Di have indeed been strengthening their ties with various tribes and frequently mobilizing troops, seemingly planning a large-scale assembly."

A scout hurried into the tent and presented an encrypted intelligence scroll.

General Si Lie took the scroll and quickly began to read, a solemn expression gradually forming between his brows.

He looked up at Su Jinru and said, "It seems that our guess is correct. Beidi is indeed planning a big move."

"Yes, the Northern Di are ambitious and will never let go of the fat piece of meat that is the State of Chen."

"Pass the order down, the entire army is on combat readiness, strengthen the city walls, and prepare for field battles.

We must let the Northern Di know that the land of Chen is not something they can trample on lightly!"

Si Lie's voice was firm and powerful, and it spread throughout the entire military camp through the curtains of the tent.

At the same time, in the Beidi camp, Aluhun was busy planning to steal Chen's weapons.

He carefully selected a group of spies who were agile and good at stealth, and prepared to sneak into the Chen army camp under the cover of night to steal the powerful weapon.
