[Marriage first, love later] She is happy after marrying a widower

From the moment Song Yanzhi rescued Cui Jingshu, she knew in her heart that she, Jiang Zhi, and even the entire Mobei Army were destined to have a tough battle.

She knew Jiang Zhi's temper very well. He was vindictive and cruel. How could he easily swallow this humiliation when his plans were ruined? He would definitely try every possible way to take revenge.

Ever since returning from the thrilling experience in Chaoyang Town, Song Yanzhi has not stopped for a moment. She hurriedly summoned all her generals, counselors and camp managers to start deploying defenses.

Everyone gathered in the tent, the atmosphere was a little solemn, and everyone was aware of the seriousness of the situation at the moment.

Song Yanzhi sat upright in the main seat, her posture straight, her eyes slowly sweeping across everyone's faces one by one. Her eyes were sharp and steady, as if she wanted to see through everyone's thoughts.

She looked serious and spoke in a solemn tone, "Everyone knows that our current situation is like walking on thin ice. Jiang Zhi is not someone who will give up easily, and he will definitely not let us go easily.

Therefore, we must be fully prepared. If Jiang Zhi finds us, we must have enough strength to resist. Otherwise, everything we have worked hard for, as well as our lives and property, will be destroyed in an instant."

At this point, Song Yanzhi frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and then she continued: "However, everyone is clear about our current situation. Compared with the power of the King of Mobei, our troops are too far behind.

The King of Mobei has a large army under his command. Even if Jiang Zhi just brings some soldiers here casually, he may be able to crush us with his numerical advantage.

Therefore, we must not rely solely on head-on confrontation, we must come up with a good strategy to deal with it, so that we can have a glimmer of hope."

Song Yanzhi has only a total of more than 8,000 men under her command. Although these 8,000 men were carefully selected by her and trained strictly day after day according to modern military training methods, each of them can be regarded as an elite soldier.

If Jiang Zhi came with a similar number of men as her, or even twice as many, she would be confident that with the bravery of her brothers and the tactics they had practiced in their daily lives, she could fight Jiang Zhi and it would be hard to say who would win.

But if the other side has more people, then fighting alone will definitely not work. You must rely on clever strategies to deal with and fight against them.

After Song Yanzhi finished speaking, the second-in-command who was brought back from Menghu Mountain and was sitting below, with a confident smile on his face, slowly said: "Madam, in my opinion, instead of waiting here for him to attack us and passively take the beating, why don't we first find a way to find out when he will send his troops here, and then we will be the first to send troops and catch him off guard."

When Song Yanzhi heard this, she looked at him with a faint smile on her face, and her thoughts drifted back to the first time she met this second in command.

At that time, when I first met this second-in-command, I saw his appearance, he was gentle and refined, and looked like a frustrated scholar who had studied for several years but failed the imperial examinations repeatedly, and finally became discouraged and went up the mountain to become a bandit.

But after actually catching this man and having a conversation with him, Song Yanzhi discovered that this man was not as simple as he seemed, but was extremely strategic.

After careful inquiry, I learned that the reason why Longhu Mountain was able to grow from dozens of people at the beginning to thousands of people was due to the contribution of the second in command.

On the contrary, Tian Meng, the leader of Longhu Mountain, has only brute force, acts rashly and impulsively, has no brains, and is a complete fool.

If it weren't for this second-in-command who was giving advice and planning behind the scenes, Longhu Mountain would have disappeared without a trace due to various disputes or been wiped out by other forces, let alone its development.

Even the brothers from Longhu Mountain were willing to follow them and surrender to them without any resistance. It was all because of the second-in-command's plan that it worked.

He knew that while being a bandit in the mountains with his brothers might give him a temporary sense of freedom, it wasn't a long-term solution. Not only was he constantly worried and fearful, but he also had to be on constant alert for government raids. Life was truly difficult. He decided to find a reliable family and work as their security guards, a better alternative to the days of robbing and pillaging.

But there are so many people in Longhu Mountain, and ordinary small families cannot accommodate so many of them.

Until one day, he accidentally saw Song Yanzhi moving with so many guards. The team was well-organized and looked well-trained. Although the carriages and horses were not luxurious, they were sturdy and durable, exuding an extraordinary aura. He immediately felt that this team was no ordinary one and must have great capabilities.

So, he thought of taking his brothers to try it out and see if there was a chance to join them.

Unexpectedly, before he could figure out the truth, Song Yanzhi's keen insight caught him.

However, he was smart and went with the flow. He expressed his feelings directly and brought his brothers from Longhu Mountain to join Song Yanzhi sincerely. From then on, he followed Song Yanzhi and worked hard for a common goal.

At this moment, the military advisor also looked at Song Yanzhi with a smile, his eyes revealing a bit of cunning, and asked: "Madam, have you forgotten what our brothers in Longhu Mountain do?"

When Song Yanzhi heard this, she immediately understood what he meant. Of course she remembered what the people from Longhu Mountain used to do. They were originally bandits, and they were best at wandering around in the mountains and forests. They were very familiar with robbing houses and were even more familiar with the surrounding terrain. They were elusive and hard to guard against.

"You mean we should challenge them to a guerrilla war?" Song Yanzhi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she saw a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough, and she felt a little bit of anticipation for this strategy.

"Why not?" The military advisor raised his eyebrows slightly and said confidently, "We can use our familiarity with the surrounding terrain and lead our brothers to maneuver with them through the mountains and forests. We can occasionally attack them and tire them out. Even if they are outnumbered, they won't be able to fully utilize their advantages."

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you." Song Yanzhi made a prompt decision and said without hesitation. She believed in the ability of the second-in-command. Since he proposed this strategy, he must have a detailed plan in mind. She felt at ease to hand this matter over to him.

The military advisor hurriedly bowed and replied: "Madam, don't worry, I will do my best to live up to your trust!" After that, he retreated and began to prepare for the relevant matters of carrying out guerrilla tactics.
