I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian
Chapter 70: Prepare for Action: New Troubles Emerge
The Queen's embrace was so warm that Baona almost suffocated.
This sudden intimate action made her mind go blank and buzz, and she froze in place as if her acupoints were pressed.
The cheers around seemed to come from another dimension, hazy and distant.
Tonight... the Queen's bedroom... These words played in her mind like a spell, making her already blushing cheeks burn even hotter.
She wanted to say something, even if it was just a weak refusal, but the words turned into mosquito hums when they reached her lips, and in the end, she said nothing.
General Yuchi looked at the scene before him, his heart broken as if it had fallen into a paper shredder and was shredded into pieces.
He sighed to the sky, as expected, in the end, a dog licker ends up with nothing!
Advisor Shentu added quietly, "General, lick it to the very last drop, leaving not even a slag..."
However, before the Shura scene ended, the spy Baili came in a hurry and whispered a few words in the Queen's ear.
The Queen's expression changed instantly, faster than turning the pages of a book. She was in high spirits one second, and gloomy the next.
"Emergency at the border?!" The Queen's voice was like thunder, making everyone's eardrums buzz.
This sudden news was like a bucket of cold water poured over one's head, instantly extinguishing everyone's joy and also freeing Baona from her embarrassment.
Although the war was won, the border of the ancient Dian Kingdom was riddled with holes, like a tattered fishing net with holes everywhere.
The soldiers were exhausted and the wounded were numerous.
The people suffered terribly under the ravages of war, and the entire kingdom was filled with fatigue and anxiety, like a giant with its internal organs hollowed out, tottering and crumbling.
Inside the military command post, the atmosphere was as heavy as a mouthful of phlegm, making it hard to breathe.
The generals argued fiercely over the issue of post-war rest and redeployment of the army, with spit flying everywhere, almost blowing the roof off the house.
General Yuchi advocated pursuing the victory and completely eliminating the remaining enemies to prevent future troubles.
But other generals objected, believing that the army was exhausted and needed to recuperate, and that a rash attack would only backfire.
"General Yuchi, you're being overly aggressive!" A ferocious-looking general slammed the table and stood up, his eyes wide open. "The soldiers are already exhausted, and you're still sending them to their deaths?"
"That's right! We should focus on defense now and consolidate the border instead of attacking blindly!" Another general echoed.
General Yuchi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "What do you know? Kill him while he's weak! Now is the best time to destroy the enemy. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to fight again in the future!"
"Hmph, that's easy! Do you think war is just playing house? It's that easy!"
"you……"
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Shentu Advisor slowly stood up and coughed lightly...
Advisor Shentu coughed lightly, and the whole audience fell silent instantly. After all, this strategist was a well-known "mouth cannon king" who could bring the dead back to life and confuse the living.
He slowly stroked his beard, glanced at the crowd, and spoke slowly, "Generals, please be patient. General Yuchi's advocacy of attack is not groundless, and your concerns are not unfounded." He paused, then dropped a bombshell, "But have you ever considered that you shouldn't chase a desperate enemy? We're chasing rabbits, but we're facing hungry wolves! A rabbit might just nibble on a couple of carrots if it runs away, but a hungry wolf? It's after meat!"
His words made everyone's faces change. Yes, the one they were facing was no pushover!
Advisor Shentu then analyzed the strength comparison between the enemy and us, pointing out that although the enemy was defeated, its remaining forces should not be underestimated. If they are given a chance to breathe, they are likely to make a comeback.
Although the ancient Dian Kingdom won the victory, it was also severely damaged and needed time to recover.
In the end, he proposed a compromise plan: first stabilize the border and recuperate, and at the same time send a small group of elite troops to harass the enemy, disrupt their deployment, and prevent them from resting in peace. When the time is right, launch a general attack and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
This analysis was well-reasoned and convincing, and several key generals nodded in agreement.
Although General Yuchi was still in favor of war, he had to admit that Advisor Shentu's plan was more reliable.
At this moment, Baili's secret agent hurriedly reported: "The remnants of the enemy army are sneaking around the border. The spies report that they seem to be... meeting!"
When General Yuchi heard this, he was immediately furious: "How dare you! You even dare to play tricks!" He immediately assembled an elite team and led them to conduct reconnaissance himself.
Each member of this team is very skilled and can sneak near the enemy like ghosts.
Sure enough, they found a small group of ragged enemy remnants who were meeting with another group of mysterious people.
The two sides seemed to be conducting some kind of transaction and the atmosphere was very tense.
"Kill!" General Yuchi gave an order, and the ancient Dian soldiers rushed down the mountain like tigers and pounced on the enemy.
Although the remaining enemy troops were small in number, each of them was extremely ferocious. At the beginning of the battle, the ancient Dian soldiers were actually at a slight disadvantage!
The two sides engaged in close combat, with swords flashing and the sound of killing shaking the sky.
General Yuchi took the lead, wielding his long sword with great vigor, and killed several enemy soldiers in just a few rounds.
However, although these enemy remnants were small in number, their combat effectiveness was extremely strong. They fought ferociously and rushed forward recklessly, which made the well-trained ancient Dian soldiers a little exhausted for a while.
Gradually, the ancient Dian soldiers, relying on their superb fighting skills and tacit cooperation, gradually stabilized their position and began to fight back...
"General, look..." A soldier pointed to the rear of the enemy, his voice trembling.
General Yuchi looked in the direction the soldier pointed, and saw flags waving and dust rising behind the enemy. A huge army was marching towards them in a mighty manner!
This... this number is at least five times their current military strength!
General Yuchi suddenly felt his scalp tingling. These were not just the remnants of a defeated army, they were clearly a trap!
What a good trick of "pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger"!
After the battle, although the ancient Dian Kingdom won the victory, it also paid a heavy price.
In the wounded camp, groans were heard one after another, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The ancient Dian Queen Zhaoyang Ruyue, accompanied by Bao Na, personally came to the wounded camp to express her condolences.
She did not act condescendingly, but gently treated the wounds of the wounded. Her gentle movements seemed to soothe their physical and mental trauma.
"Your Majesty, your hand..." Baona felt distressed when she saw the Queen's slender fingers stained with blood.
The queen smiled slightly and said, "What's this little injury? Compared to the bloody battles of the soldiers, it's nothing." Her eyes were gentle and firm.
The wounded looked at the Queen with gratitude in their eyes, as if they had found spiritual support.
Baona looked at the Queen's profile, her heart full of love. The Queen occasionally looked up and looked at the protagonist, her eyes full of trust and dependence.
The joy of triumph was soon diluted by new worries.
Hu Yan, the logistics officer, who was usually as timid as a mouse, now reported to the empress with a serious face: "Your Majesty, although we have seized some supplies, the long-term consumption of the war has made our reserves still insufficient. The fighting on the front is tense, and the soldiers are fighting bloody battles, but in the rear..." He paused, his voice choked, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is guilty!"
The empress helped up the logistics officer Huyan and said in a firm tone: "Lord Huyan, there is no need to blame yourself. The war is now at a stalemate, and the tight logistics are also expected. We must re-plan the source and distribution of logistics supplies to ensure that the soldiers have no worries." In the court, the ministers talked a lot. Some proposed to ask for help from neighboring countries, and some proposed to increase taxes. The atmosphere became solemn for a while.
Baona looked at the worried queen and held her hand tightly: "Your Majesty, everything will be fine." The queen held Baona's hand in return, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, news came from afar... "Report--"
The spy stumbled into the hall, knelt on one knee, and said in a trembling voice, "Report—Your Majesty! An unknown force has appeared at the border…at the border!"
The hall fell silent in an instant, and everyone's eyes were focused on the spy.
Hu Yan, the logistics officer, shuddered with fear, and the bamboo slips in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent hall.
His face was pale and his lips trembled, but he said nothing, like a frightened quail.
General Yuchi frowned, and a gleam of light flashed in his eagle eyes under his thick eyebrows: "Tell me clearly! What unknown force? How many people are there? What is their purpose?" His voice was like a bell, carrying the majesty of a veteran on the battlefield.
The spy took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. "General, this force is large in number, and their flags... their flags are strange, never seen before. Their whereabouts are secretive, and their purpose is unknown, but... but..." He paused, as if trying to organize his words, "But according to reports from the people on the border, wherever they pass, no grass grows!"
"Not a single blade of grass grows?" Strategist Shentu twisted his beard, frowned, and muttered to himself, "This... this is unheard of! Could it be some kind of evil magic?" He looked at the Queen of Ancient Dian, his eyes full of worry.
The Queen of Ancient Dian had a solemn expression, but her eyes remained firm. "Pass the order down. Strengthen border patrols and closely monitor the movements of this force. Also, Baili Secret Agent, you must personally go to the border and thoroughly investigate this force!"
Baili Secret Agent took the order and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.
Baona looked at the Queen, her eyes filled with worry: "Your Majesty, this..."
The Queen held Baona's hand and gave her a reassuring look: "Don't be afraid, I will take care of everything."
At this moment, General Yuchi suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not..."
"General, please feel free to speak."
General Yuchi stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "I believe this matter... is not ordinary..." He paused, his gaze sweeping across the crowd in the hall, finally stopping at the Empress. "I'm worried that this force... is... targeting... Your Majesty!"
