She alternately frowned and nodded, as if rapidly calculating every possible scenario in her mind. After a long moment, she raised her head, nodded gently to the people around her, and said slowly, "This deployment is indeed unique and worthy of praise. However, in my opinion, there are still some shortcomings in some of its arrangements!"

Lian Cheng, who was standing nearby, snorted coldly upon hearing this. His face showed disdain as he said coldly, "Oh? I wonder what General Su thinks about this. I'd love to hear more!"

Su Yanhua remained unperturbed by Liancheng's attitude. Her expression remained calm, and she replied indifferently, "Since we've come up with these strategies and arrangements, the enemy will undoubtedly be able to discern them. Therefore, we need to think outside the box and consider the problem from perspectives the enemy wouldn't expect. For example, filling the walls outside the moat with mud and sand to strengthen the defenses is feasible and very strong, but if an enemy fire attack were to occur, especially in this cold November with a prevailing southeasterly wind, a fire could spread rapidly to the neighboring city of Anshui. If any element in a line of defense proves unfavorable or even potentially dangerous, it must be decisively abandoned and replaced. It's like patching up a house with a ton of planks to fill every hole, making it appear impenetrable, but in reality, you're trapping yourself in a closed space and ultimately suffocating. Furthermore, setting up too many complex obstacles will not only fail to effectively resist invasion, but will also easily lead the enemy to mistakenly believe we're cowardly and afraid to fight, further instilling contempt for us."

Everyone's joy disappeared in an instant, and a trace of panic appeared on their faces.

Lian Cheng looked at Su Yanhua, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes: "In your opinion, should we do nothing?"

Strategic layout is an important part that must be carefully planned every time you attack or defend. If there is no reasonable deployment arrangement, it would be no different from simply raising your hands and surrendering to the enemy.

"General Lian, please don't get me wrong! We must make a layout, and it's urgent. The Yan army will arrive here tomorrow, and we have very little time to prepare. In my opinion, it would be better to insert some wooden keels on the outer edge of the mud and sand. These wooden keels are light and flexible, but they are quite large in size and cover a wide area, which can effectively resist the enemy's fire attack strategy. In addition, the deployment of troops in Anshui City is too small. It is far from enough to send only two armies to garrison there. If Anshui City is unfortunately lost, the enemy can march straight in and enter Yunzhou City unimpeded. Therefore, this I hope you will carefully consider this. Therefore, I strongly suggest that two-thirds of the general's troops be deployed to Anshui City to strengthen the garrison, and any sign of trouble must be reported immediately. In addition, if the Yan army really rushes towards Yunzhou City with great momentum, the pre-filled silt along the moat will be able to hold them back for at least three hours. During this precious time, our troops stationed in Anshui City can cooperate with those in Yunzhou City, forming a pincer attack. In this way, the two armies will work together to resist the enemy, and repelling the Yan army is only a matter of time."

As soon as these words fell, the crowd, which had been still feeling dissatisfied, suddenly became silent, as if they had been cast under a spell. They were all stunned and didn't even dare to breathe.

"This... How meticulous must this idea be to consider such a deep-seated issue!" Someone couldn't help but mutter to himself. Although the voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone present, causing a slight commotion.

Everyone's eyes turned to Su Yanhua at the same time. Their eyes not only flashed with deep admiration, but also were filled with sincere admiration and respect for her wisdom.

At this moment, Su Yanhua's image in their minds became increasingly taller, like a towering mountain, making people look up to her.

"He is worthy of being General Su, who became famous throughout the world with just one battle! He is indeed wise and brave, with extraordinary strategy, and should not be underestimated!" Someone else praised loudly, his tone full of amazement and admiration.

Su Yanhua seemed oblivious to these admiring glances. She simply turned her head slightly and fixed her gaze on Nalan Yanyu, who was not far away. Nalan Yanyu was smiling, his eyes, as deep as a pool of water, filled with undisguised admiration, as if to say, "Well done!"

Seeing Nalan Yanyu's expression, Su Yanhua couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips slightly, and a barely perceptible smile quietly climbed onto her beautiful face. At this moment, she felt extremely relieved in her heart - fortunately, she had finally lived up to his expectations and successfully helped him!

"I'll go first!"

"I came first, so naturally I'm here first, Princess!"

"I said I go first!"

……

Suddenly, a commotion erupted from outside the previously silent tent, shattering the stillness like a boulder being dropped into a tranquil lake. Upon hearing the commotion, the guards rushed forward and forcefully yanked open the tent's curtains. In an instant, two figures, without warning, burst into view.

Looking closely, they saw Nalan Linglong and Lianzhu, each holding a bowl of unknown food, standing quietly outside the tent door. When they saw the tent curtain being lifted, their movements became synchronized and obedient, like two docile little lambs.

At this moment, Nalan Yanyu's face was as gloomy as water. His low and majestic voice rang out: "This is a strategic military location. How can we allow strangers to trespass without permission? Don't you understand this?"

Lian Zhu raised her eyes slightly, her gaze slowly settling on the woman. She saw the hem of her clothing clinging tightly to Nalan Yanyu's, so close that there seemed to be no gap at all. A faint, unconcealed sadness shone in the depths of Lian Zhu's eyes. However, even as she was concentrating on watching, she suddenly heard Nalan Yanyu's words. Her heart tightened, and her already bowed head now lowered even further.

"I... I'm just worried that you'd feel hungry after discussing matters here for too long, so I specially brought you some food. I just heard from the maid that you rushed here without even having lunch." Nalan Linglong explained softly, her tone full of concern.

Su Yanhua, who had been silent all this time, was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then asked in an extremely small voice: "You haven't eaten yet?" Although her voice was as light as a mosquito, it still reached Nalan Yanyu's ears accurately.
