I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian
Chapter 65 Turning Crisis into Opportunity
"There's flames in the rear! Our food supplies... have been burned!" The soldier finally said this in one breath and collapsed to the ground.
The wine glass in General Yuchi's hand fell to the ground with a "bang" and shattered into pieces.
"What? The food supplies were burned? Which bastard did this?!" He was furious, as if he was going to explode on the spot in the next second.
Advisor Shentu's face turned pale. Sure enough, his premonition of uneasiness became a reality.
"Now is not the time to assign blame. Send someone to check the situation!"
Baili Secret Agent quickly obeyed the order and disappeared into the night in a few flashes.
Soon, Baili's spy brought back even worse news: "Report to the general and counselor, the enemy took advantage of our pursuit of the main force to attack our largest logistics supply storage point, and most of the food and grass were burned..."
"Fuck! These idiots! They're playing dirty tricks!" General Yuchi gritted his teeth in anger. "We're in big trouble now! What's the point of fighting without food and supplies?"
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and the soldiers looked at each other, their original joy gone.
"The current situation... is not optimistic." Advisor Shentu said solemnly, "We must find a new source of supplies as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Before he could finish, a slightly trembling voice sounded: "General, counselor, I... I have an idea..." The speaker was Hu Yan, the logistics officer. He was usually timid and fearful, but he stood up at this moment.
"You? What can you think?" General Yuchi said with a look of disgust.
Logistics Officer Huyan swallowed his saliva and said, "We can...collect food and fodder from the nearby people...I believe they will definitely support us..."
General Yuchi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Good boy, I didn't expect you to have such a trick! Okay, let's do as you say! Hurry up! Be quick!"
Logistics Officer Hu Yan took the order and left with a team of soldiers, going door to door to explain the situation to the people.
Unexpectedly, when the people learned that the ancient Dian army was fighting to protect them, they generously donated the food stored in their homes.
Some families even took out their treasured medicinal herbs and cloth, hoping to contribute to the army.
In just one day, Logistics Officer Huyan collected more supplies than the previous storage point.
He excitedly ran back to the barracks and reported to General Yuchi and Advisor Shentu: "General, Advisor, look! The people are so supportive!"
General Yuchi looked at the mountain of supplies, his mouth wide open. "Wow! This...this is too much! Logistics Officer Huyan, you've done a great job this time!"
A hint of relief flashed in Advisor Shentu's eyes, but soon, his brows frowned again and he looked at General Yuchi, "General, although the material problem has been temporarily solved, the next strategy..." He paused and did not continue.
General Yuchi also put away his smile and his expression became serious.
"Yeah...how should we fight next..." He looked at the map, his eyes fell on the position of the enemy's main force, and fell into deep thought.
Advisor Shentu pointed to the winding river on the map, his expression grave. "General, the enemy's main force is currently stationed in the strategically located Tiger Leaping Gorge, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I suggest a steady and cautious approach, first cutting off their supply lines, and then waiting for an opportunity to attack."
General Yuchi was immediately displeased when he heard this: "What the hell! We are strong and well-equipped now, with ample food and supplies. Now is the perfect time to strike hard! We must fight quickly and decisively. We must charge in and wipe out their lair!"
"General, there's a military strategy that says 'Don't pursue a desperate enemy'. Although the enemy has suffered a defeat, they still have some remaining strength. If we attack rashly, we might fall into their ambush!" Advisor Shentu advised earnestly.
"What ambush! What's there to be afraid of? They are so cowardly. We can beat them to a pulp with just one charge!" General Yuchi still insisted on his opinion.
The two argued endlessly and neither could convince the other.
At this time, the Queen of Ancient Dian slowly spoke, "Generals, both of your opinions are very reasonable." She walked over to the map and pointed with her delicate finger at another location above Tiger Leaping Gorge. "I believe we can split our forces into two groups. General Yuchi will lead the main force in a feint attack on Tiger Leaping Gorge to draw the enemy's attention. Meanwhile, Advisor Shentu will lead an elite force to conduct a surprise attack on their rear base, Black Wind Stronghold."
General Yuchi and Advisor Shentu were both stunned. This...this operation was quite a show!
It can not only stabilize the battle situation, but also achieve a surprise victory. It is simply a magical operation!
"Wonderful! Her Majesty the Queen is truly wise and powerful!" General Yuchi was the first to react and clapped his hands excitedly.
Advisor Shentu was also deeply impressed by the Ancient Dian Queen's strategy: "Your Majesty is wise! This plan is brilliant!"
"There is no time to lose. The two generals should prepare immediately and set off early tomorrow morning!" The Queen of Ancient Dian spoke in a firm tone, leaving no room for doubt.
"Yes, sir!" The two men responded in unison and turned around to prepare for the next action.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, the Queen of Ancient Dian stood alone in front of the window, gazing at the twinkling stars in the sky with a meaningful smile on her lips.
"Black Wind Village...what secrets are hidden there..."
General Yuchi is rubbing his hands in readiness, eager to try, and has been waiting for a big fight!
According to the clever plan of the Queen of Ancient Dian, he led the main force to Tiger Leaping Gorge in a mighty manner, with gongs and drums blaring and firecrackers blasting all the way, as if he was afraid that the enemy would not know they were coming.
This isn't a fight, it's just a sightseeing trip!
The enemy general Duan Gan was ready for battle, waiting for the ancient Dian army to come and fight head-on, but after waiting for a long time, this is it?
That's it?
That's it?
That's it?
That's it?
?
?
Seeing the ancient Dian army's arrogant attitude of "I am the best in the world", the warrior Duan Gan was furious and cursed: "Old Yuchi, you old fool! All you know is these fancy tricks! If you have the guts, come and fight with real swords and guns!"
General Yuchi laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Brother Duan Gan, don't get excited! All's fair in war, understand? Do you think I'm still the same clueless young man I used to be? Now I'm a master of strategy! Just wait and see, I'm going to show you a 'feint to the east and attack in the west' trick!"
After saying that, General Yuchi commanded the army to start attacking the enemy in different areas. Sometimes they fired a cannon in the east, sometimes shot a few arrows in the west, sometimes beat drums to cheer in the south, and sometimes blew horns to provoke in the north, making Duan Gan's warriors run around in circles and exhausted.
At the same time, Baili's spy sneaked into the enemy's rear and discovered the enemy's food and grass storage point.
He immediately passed the information back to the ancient Dian military camp.
After receiving the news, Advisor Shentu was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to inform General Yuchi: "General, good news! Good news! We've found the enemy's food storage point! It's in the valley behind Black Wind Village!"
General Yuchi was so happy when he heard this that he couldn't stop grinning. "Great! Great! This time we're sure to win! Pass the order down, raid the enemy's granary tonight and burn it all down!"
That night, the ancient Dian army quietly sneaked into the enemy's granary and lit the torches that had been prepared long ago. The raging fire instantly engulfed the entire valley.
"Oh no! The granary is on fire!" the enemy soldiers shouted in horror.
Warrior Duan Gan rushed over upon hearing the news and was stunned when he saw the flames rising into the sky.
He never imagined that the ancient Dian army would actually go around to their rear and burn their food supplies!
This wave of operations is simply 666!
"It's over... It's all over..." Warrior Duan Gan collapsed on the ground, muttering to himself.
Logistics officer Hu Yan was hiding in the corner and trembling. He witnessed the burning granary with his own eyes and was scared out of his wits.
"It's over, it's over, it's really over this time... The general will definitely kill me..." His face was pale and his lips trembled.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by, and a cold dagger was pressed against the neck of Huyan Logistics Officer.
"You...what do you want to do?"
Hu Yan, the logistics officer, was trembling like a sieve. "Please spare my life! I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child..."
The black shadow sneered, "Stop talking nonsense! Let me ask you, where is the granary of the ancient Dian Kingdom?" It turned out to be the spy Baili!
He pulled off his mask, revealing a cynical face.
Hu Yan, the logistics officer, was stunned and stammered, "Didn't you... burn our granary?"
Baili Secret Agent shrugged. "It's my job. Now, it's your turn to contribute your granary." He shook the dagger in his hand. "Understand?"
How could the logistics officer Hu Yan dare to say no? He immediately told the location of the ancient Dian Kingdom's granary like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
He thought, since the food supplies were burned and he was doomed to die anyway, he might as well sell the news to save his life, and maybe even make up for his mistake.
After receiving the news, the spies from Baili quickly evacuated.
He returned to the military camp and reported the intelligence to his advisor Shentu.
After hearing this, Advisor Shentu frowned, "The enemy's food supplies have been burned, and their morale is bound to be low. This is a good opportunity for us to pursue them. But..."
"But what?" General Yuchi asked anxiously.
"However, we are running low on food and fodder..." Advisor Shentu sighed, "After a long journey and the previous consumption, we are facing a supply crisis."
General Yuchi was like a deflated ball. "What should we do? Are we going to follow in the enemy's footsteps?"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the tent, "Don't panic, General, I have a way!" Everyone turned around and saw that it was Hu Yan, the logistics officer!
He had a bruised face and torn clothes, and looked like he was fleeing.
"Why...why are you here?" General Yuchi asked in surprise.
Logistics Officer Huyan slumped to his knees, "General, I'm guilty of a capital crime! The burning of the food and fodder is my fault! But I'm willing to redeem myself and make meritorious contributions to solve the army's food and fodder problem!"
"Oh? What's your brilliant idea?" Advisor Shentu asked with great interest.
Logistics Officer Hu Yan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Your subordinate... Your subordinate..." He suddenly stopped, his eyes rolling around, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Your subordinate knows a secret granary..."
