The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Si Yan was silent. The young general's face was calm and her fair face was terrifyingly serene.

No one dared to say anything, nor did they know what to say.

Si Yan spoke slowly: "What about the rest of the Daxuan soldiers? How are they doing with the plague? How has Lord Situ arranged for them?"

Seeing that Si Yan remained calm and continued to inquire about military intelligence, everyone secretly admired him.

General Feiying is worthy of being called an invincible general. He remains calm even when faced with overwhelming pressure.

"When Lord Situ went north, he only led 20,000 elite soldiers. The rest of the troops were on the northern border of Yan. There are about 3,000 soldiers infected with the plague, and the number is still increasing.

"Lord Situ has issued strict orders to isolate soldiers suffering from the plague to minimize its spread. At the same time, he has also sent people to find new water sources."

On the grassland, without clean water, there is no way to survive.

If they continue like this, even if the plague stops spreading, they will be dead.

Si Yan stared at the map in front of him, and his eyes fell on the location of Longcheng.

"How many troops did the King of Youhe lose? Where are they now?"

King Youhe is also on this grassland, and the Hu people also need water to live. It is impossible for King Youhe to pollute all the water sources.

The messenger shook his head and said, "The King of Youhe only sent an army of over 10,000 men to stop General Yan Peng and his troops halfway. After they were defeated, the rest of the troops disappeared without a trace."

The King of Youhe originally took away 40,000 soldiers and horses from the Mobei Royal Court. He lost 10,000 soldiers and horses, so he still had 30,000 soldiers and horses left.

The King of Youhe must be somewhere, waiting for the plague to break out in Yan State and Daxuan Army.

It is also possible that he is waiting for the opportunity to defeat the armies of the two countries in one fell swoop.

Si Yan looked at the generals around him and said, "The most important thing right now is to find the King of Youhe. If we find the King of Youhe, we will find a clean water source."

Everyone nodded. The water source on the grassland has been polluted, and it would be difficult to find a clean one.

But if the King of Youhe River is found, the problem of water source will be solved.

"Senior Bo, can you infer where the enemy will be hiding based on the terrain near Dragon City?"

Bo Yu shook his head: "I understand the terrain of the grassland, but I know nothing about marching and fighting. I really dare not speak rashly."

The King of Youhe was a cunning and experienced man. Bo Yu did not dare to tell him where he was hiding.

Si Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "They must be hiding in a place where it is convenient for them to attack and easily detect our army's movements."

Si Yan's gaze suddenly fell on the northernmost part of the map, outside the Mobei grassland.

Suddenly, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at the generals around her.

It was the first time for the Yan generals to enter the Mobei grassland. They were unfamiliar with the grassland terrain and had no idea what to do.

Only Yan Longyi looked at the map with a thoughtful look.

Si Yan's gaze fell on Boya: "Where's Prince Bo? Do you have any suggestions?"

If she remembered correctly, Yayue Pavilion had a stronghold in the north of the Mobei grassland.

This stronghold is specifically designed to connect the northern forests outside the Mobei steppe and the polar wasteland further north.

Everyone looked at Boya, and Boya slowly walked out of the crowd.

"Ayan, they are very likely in this place."

Boya raised his index finger and pointed to a forest north of the Mobei grassland on the map.

This forest is no longer within the scope of the Mobei grassland. On the map of the Mobei grassland, there are only four simple words written: Ice and Snow Forest.

This forest is covered with snow all year round and the weather is extremely cold. The southern edge of the forest is only two days' horse ride away from Dragon City.

This is indeed an excellent location for the Youhe King's army, which has polluted the nearby water source and needs to hide.

The soldiers discussed the matter among themselves. Could it be that Master Boya, a mere businessman, made a wrong judgment?

A soldier in the army questioned: "Would the King of Youhe go to such a desolate place?"

"Yes, this is already outside the Mobei grasslands. Would the Hu Lu go there?"

"I heard this place is frozen all year round. Is it habitable?"

"can!"

A majestic voice spread among the crowd. Everyone looked up and saw that it was King Yan who stood up.

Yan Longyi glanced at the generals and said, "I agree with Prince Bo's opinion."

Only then did everyone realize that Master Boya was no longer just a businessman, but also the King of Bo of Yan State.

His Majesty has named Master Bo the King of Bo and has also assigned Master Bo's men to lead the way, which already demonstrates Master Bo's abilities.

King Yan looked at Boya with trust in his eyes.

He knew that Boya was a steady man, and since Boya pointed out this point, he must have thought deeply about it.

Yan Longyi actually thought of this place as well.

There was no news about King Youhe's army near Longcheng, and the spies they sent along the way did not find any news about King Youhe.

That means that the Youhe King’s army may no longer be on the Mobei grassland.

Then there is a high possibility that King Youhe is in this snowy forest north of the Mobei grassland.

There is clean water available in this forest, and the Yan army will not go there.

King Youhe can stay there peacefully.

Boya paused and spoke cautiously, "I'm just speculating, I'm not 100% sure..."

The only thing Boya was sure of was that even Yayue Pavilion had no news about King Youhe, so King Youhe was definitely not on the grassland.

However, the holy land of the Hu Lu, Longcheng, was occupied by the Yan army, and the Hu Lu would never accept this.

King Youhe had to wait for the opportunity to attack, and the snowy forest north of the Mobei grassland was the best choice.

"Whether King Youhe is in this forest or not, we can find out by sending someone to investigate."

Si Yan finally spoke, and the soldiers nodded in unison.

"Ayan, I'll send a message via eagle. We should have news within a day."

Boya had not thought of using the stronghold north of the Mobei grassland before, so there was no contact.

Now the King of Youhe might have fled there. He sent a message and the news came quickly.

Si Yan nodded, thought for a moment, and began to arrange other things.

"Yunqiao, get ready and rush to Longcheng overnight to see if the plague can be cured."

"Yes." Yunqiao accepted the order.

This place is not far from Longcheng. If Yunqiao rides at full speed, he can arrive there within a day.

"Boya, arrange for someone to deliver some herbs for treating the plague to Longcheng."

"Don't worry, Ah Yan, the herbs can be delivered to Longcheng in three days at the earliest. In addition, I will send people from Yanbei to transport a large amount of herbs."

Yayue Pavilion's base north of the Mobei grassland is actually a secret medicine warehouse that specializes in collecting precious medicinal materials from the northern ice and snow forests.

The medicine warehouse also stores a lot of medicines shipped from the Central Plains, so that they can be traded with the Hu people in Longcheng for a long time.

These medicines are just right for use now.

Si Yan turned to look at Bo Yu: "Senior Bo, please look around to see if there is any clean water source."

"Okay, no problem." Bo Yu is very good at finding water sources.

Suddenly, two young men walked out together and bowed to Si Yan: "Sister, let's go with Senior Bo."

Si Yan looked at Yan Mujin, then at Gao Xu, and smiled slightly: "Okay, you two should follow Senior Bo to broaden your horizons."

"Thank you, sister." They said in unison.

After the matter was discussed, everyone retreated, leaving only Si Yan and Yan Longyi.

Since there was no clean water source, the soldiers could only drink the water they had brought with them, and they had to drink it sparingly.

However, even so, the water can only last for a few days at most.

Yan Longyi looked at the thoughtful woman in front of him and said, "Ayan, is the army heading to Longcheng now?"

Si Yan shook his head: "No, the army won't go, I'll go alone."
