"Yan Huai."

Liang Chongyue kept muttering the name. She remembered seeing it in the information.

The old emperor of the North is not only tyrannical and cruel, but also extremely lustful. The concubines in his harem are no less cruel than his scumbag father, and there are countless royal heirs who have been living among the people.

Yan Huai is one of them, but he is the only one among the royal heirs of the old emperor of the northern border who has returned to his ancestral home.

He is also highly valued by the Crown Prince of the Northern Territory, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is his right-hand man.

Liang Chongyue remembered that when she was looking at the information, Yan Huai's name was right after the old emperor of the Northern Territory and the crown prince of the Northern Territory.

He's also a ruthless character.

Now that he is leading his troops westward, it seems that things are more complicated than she thought.

The battle information has not changed much. This is Daxia's first battle at the border this year, and Xizhou is completely unable to withstand it.

Liang Chongyue looked at the pop-up windows on the panel that appeared from time to time like real-time barrages, showing which prince of Xizhou had died and which general had surrendered.

Judging from this, Xizhou should be able to be conquered soon.

After Liang Chongyue figured out all the movements in the northern border, he glanced at the system that was still sleeping, opened the tent door and walked out.

It was getting dark outside, so Liang Chongyue went straight to the commander-in-chief's tent. As soon as he entered, he saw his eldest uncle and second uncle practicing the deployment of troops on the battlefield.

"Yue'er is here, come and see how your uncle's tactics work."

The eldest uncle waved to Liang Chongyue, and Liang Chongyue walked to the two of them, watching the troops controlled by the eldest uncle advancing with seemingly unstoppable force. Half of the troops had already fallen into the encirclement, while the second uncle's troops fled all the way, but were luring the enemy deeper step by step.

Even if she intervened forcibly at this time, she could probably only save half of the soldiers who had not yet entered the encirclement. The remaining half seemed to be alive, but in fact they had been dead for a while.

Seeing that Chong Yue was slow to speak, Xiang Huayan realized something was wrong. He paused in giving the order and took a closer look at the tactical layout of the two armies from the beginning of the battle to the present.

"Brother, there is no time for hesitation on the battlefield."

Xiang Huayan had also realized his mistake at this time, but the situation was already set and it was difficult to change. The only thing he could do now was to withdraw the troops behind him and minimize the losses.

"First, use the Hundred Birds Formation to change the situation, then switch to the Mandarin Duck Formation to break through."

Liang Chongyue stood behind his uncle and gave a reminder.

The advantage of the Hundred Birds Formation is that it confuses the enemy. It is most suitable for fighting with the enemy in the plains and wilderness. With a small team of 25 people, the army is dispersed from within, just like the stars scattered in the sky, making the enemy unsure of where to attack first, hesitating to advance, thus changing the situation of the battle.

As for the Mandarin Duck Formation, she modified the Mandarin Duck Formation developed by Qi Jiguang, compiled it into a book, and spread it throughout the three armies.

Xiang Huayan arranged the troops in his mind according to what Chong Yue said. After confirming that the plan was feasible, he immediately gave the order to do as Chong Yue said.

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he stood quietly behind his uncle, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.

The situation was originally doomed to fail, but Liang Chongyue's two words gave him hope of life.

He fell asleep and missed lunch. He felt a little hungry, so Liang Chongyue picked up the small pancake on the table next to his uncle and started eating it.

Once you get used to it, you won’t feel it’s tasteless anymore. Instead, it tastes better the more you chew it.

"We'll have mutton soup tonight. If you miss it tonight, you won't be able to drink it in a short time."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the battle, only her second uncle saw her chewing on the biscuits and reminded her with a smile.

The uncles must have received the news of the victory in the battle, otherwise there would be no mutton soup tonight.

Liang Chongyue smelled a faint smell of blood on the way here, which should be the smell of slaughtered sheep.

Seeing the situation change, Xiang Huating was not panicked. He calmly issued the military orders that he had prepared long ago. His calm expression did not seem like he was making a plan, but rather playing chess.

"Commander, if we take Xizhou today, we won't have to worry about crossing the river."

Just as Xiang Huating finished speaking, a soldier hurried in with an unopened letter in his hand.

"Commander-in-Chief, Military Advisor, urgent report from the front."

The tent, which had been calm and relaxed just a moment ago, was filled with a tense atmosphere because of an urgent report.

Liang Chongyue's gaze followed his uncle's movement of standing up and fell on the small letter.

While waiting for his uncle to finish reading the letter, Liang Chongyue finished the last piece of the cake in his hand.

"King Langwa is back."

There wasn't much in the letter, just one line of text.

After reading it, Xiang Huayan handed the letter to Hua Ting.

Liang Chongyue was the only one in the entire tent who was not surprised. His uncle had already received the news, and it seemed that Qi Yu had completed his mission well.

It was worth it for her to find opportunities to insert people into Langwa during this period of time.

"The young emperor Langwa is ruthless and murdered his father to ascend to the throne. I don't know if his sudden return is true or not, but it can't be a good thing."

"Langwa originally wanted to discuss peace talks with Dayue. I thought I could go home earlier. My wife is only four months pregnant. I was not with her during the first two births. I don't know if I can make it back in time for this one."

......

Liang Chongyue stood there eating his cake obediently while observing the generals in the tent's thoughts on the war.

It turns out that a truly good general in this world is even more reluctant to go to war than the people themselves.

"Forget it, what's coming will eventually come. Instead of thinking about these things, why not go and practice the military?"

All the generals were driven away by his uncle. Liang Chongyue ate most of a plate of pancakes and his eyes fell on the sand table. The scene on the panel slowly overlapped with everything on the sand table.

"Now that the wild wolf leader Langwa has returned, a battle between Da Yue and Langwa is inevitable. The Northern Territory will also have to get involved. This battle will not be easy."

There was a brief silence in the tent. Liang Chongyue patted the biscuit crumbs on his hands, stood up and walked to the sand table.

She used the red rope to mark the route on the panel little by little. When she finished, she looked up and saw her eldest uncle and second uncle staring at her.

"What is Chongyue doing?"

Liang Chongyue pointed to the route map he had just painstakingly drawn.

"We've already reached the border. Although the northern border is far from Dai Viet, they've already made plans. We shouldn't be unable to locate them by now."

When the two armies went to war, with a huge disparity in combat power, the weaker side would find it difficult to hold on. If the Northern Territory wanted to swallow up Dai Viet and Langwa in one fell swoop, it should have taken action long ago.

"These roads are the closest to Dai Viet from the Northern Territory. I plan to explore them tonight. If I can't find the Northern Territory's base, I can conclude that the Northern Territory army is still on its way."

"Also, all of Dai Viet's usable land is used to grow medicinal herbs. Every plant counts as capital for Dai Viet's recruitment efforts. I watched from the mountain and saw that the herbs in the fields haven't been pulled out yet. I think it will take some time for the northern army to arrive."
