I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

As soon as General Yuchi said this, the hall fell silent.

"Targeting Your Majesty?" Advisor Shentu exclaimed. "How...how is this possible?" He paced back and forth, muttering to himself, "But if they're targeting Your Majesty, then who are they exactly? And what's their purpose?"

The atmosphere in the hall was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. Everyone had different thoughts and speculated about the origin of this mysterious force.

At the same time, the atmosphere on the border was extremely tense.

Ever since the news of "not a blade of grass growing" spread, the soldiers and civilians on the border have been like frightened birds, with every blade of grass crying out in fear.

"I heard that the barren land is still expanding. It's weird!" said a soldier in a low voice.

"That's right. I heard that even birds don't dare to fly over there. It's scarier than a ghost story!" another soldier echoed.

The soldiers talked about it privately, and all kinds of bizarre rumors were flying around. Some even said that an ancient monster had awakened and was coming to punish humans.

Continuous fighting and fear of the unknown have brought the morale of some soldiers to rock bottom.

"Hey, do you think we can still win?" a young soldier asked his companion.

The old soldier patted him on the shoulder and said casually, "What are you afraid of? We are the elite troops of the ancient Dian Kingdom. We have seen all kinds of storms and waves. It's just a barren land, right? What's there to be afraid of? If all else fails, we can just burn it down!"

Inside the military command center, the generals once again had a disagreement on how to deal with this mysterious force.

"I think we should strike first!" A burly general slammed the table and stood up. "Instead of sitting and waiting to die, we should take the initiative and attack them by surprise!" "No!" Advisor Shentu immediately retorted. "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. We know nothing about this force. If we attack rashly, we will only fall into their trap!" "Then what do you say we should do? Should we just wait for them to come to us?" "Of course not," Advisor Shentu said confidently. "We can send someone to test them first to find out their details before making any plans."

The two sides were arguing and neither could convince the other.

General Yuchi looked at the silent empress and said with a bow, "Your Majesty, I think..." Before he could finish his words, Baona suddenly spoke up, "Perhaps..." She paused, her eyes sweeping over the crowd, "I have a way..."

Baona spoke slowly and said something shocking: "Perhaps, we can do two things at the same time." Everyone in the hall focused their attention on her, even the Queen of Ancient Dian, who had been silent all this time, cast an inquiring look at her.

Bao Na spoke calmly, "On the one hand, we must strengthen border defenses and be fully prepared to meet the enemy. We must not let the enemy easily cross the line. On the other hand, we must also actively investigate the enemy's situation, understand their details, and know ourselves and the enemy." She paused and continued, "I suggest that we start with logistics."

"Logistics?" General Yuchi frowned. "What does this have to do with fighting?"

Bao Na smiled faintly. "Don't worry, General. Let me explain in detail. Before the troops move, the food and supplies must go first. This mysterious force is coming with such force, they must need a large amount of supplies. We can investigate their supply lines, find their whereabouts, and even cut off their supplies, forcing them to collapse without a fight."

Advisor Shentu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands in praise, "Brilliant! This plan is brilliant! It can both stabilize the army's morale and secretly investigate the enemy's situation. It's like killing two birds with one stone!"

General Yuchi also nodded repeatedly, expressing his appreciation for Baona's plan: "Okay! Let's do as you say!"

As a result, a vigorous logistical supplies collection campaign was launched among the people.

Unexpectedly, people were so enthusiastic about donating supplies that the whole country could be described as "boiling with excitement."

"I heard that the front line needed food, so I donated all the food in my home!" said an old farmer, carrying a bag of food, panting.

"I donated all my heirlooms, hoping to help the kingdom overcome its difficulties!" A woman held an antique box, her eyes full of determination.

Logistics Officer Hu Yan looked at the mountains of supplies and his face was filled with joy.

There are food, cloth, medicinal herbs, and even... a few carts of lively chickens, ducks and geese?

Logistics Officer Hu Yan pointed at the chickens, ducks, and geese and asked in confusion, "Who donated these? We're going to war, not to a picnic!"

A soldier raised his hand weakly: "Sir, this is my family..."

Logistics Officer Hu Yan was about to lose his temper when suddenly, Spy Baili rushed in, his face pale and his voice trembling: "Report... Report! There's an incident at the border... at the border!"

Baili Secret Agent rushed into the conference room, his face pale, as if he had seen the King of Hell.

"Report... Report! Something big has happened at the border!" He spoke incoherently, causing Logistics Officer Huyan to roll his eyes. "Why don't you just speak up! I'm so anxious! Don't you know that logistics work is very busy right now?"

Baili Secret Agent finally breathed a sigh of relief and stammered, "Mysterious forces...they...they..." He took a deep breath, "They are so weird!"

"Strange?" General Yuchi slammed the table, "Speak human language!"

"Yes! They...their equipment and marching methods are different from any army we have ever seen!" Baili Spy finally made his point clear.

He vividly described what he saw during the reconnaissance: the soldiers of the mysterious force wore strange clothes and used unheard-of weapons. They marched silently, like ghosts, and moved at an extremely fast speed, making them elusive.

In order to gather intelligence, Spy Baili went deep into the enemy camp and was almost discovered. Fortunately, he was smart and escaped back.

At the same time, Baona was inspecting the newly collected supplies with the Queen of Ancient Dian.

The mountains of food, cloth, medicinal materials, and... several carts of lively chickens, ducks and geese were dazzling to look at.

"What's going on with these chickens, ducks, and geese? War is not a picnic!" The queen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Baona shrugged. "The people are so enthusiastic. We can't let them down."

The queen looked at Baona with admiration in her eyes.

She patted Baona's shoulder gently and said, "You did a good job." These simple words made Baona feel warm in her heart.

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

At this moment, General Yuchi came hurriedly with hundreds of spies and reported all the intelligence they had obtained to the Queen.

After hearing the report, the Queen and Baona's expressions became solemn.

"Ghost army? Unheard-of weapons?" Baona muttered to herself, an ominous premonition coming to her mind.

"It seems that the enemy we encountered this time is more difficult than we imagined..." The voice of the Queen of Ancient Dian was low and firm, but there was a hint of imperceptible... excitement in her eyes?

She turned to Baona, her tone suddenly becoming relaxed. "Baona, do you think we will..." She paused, her eyes looking into the distance, a mysterious smile curling up at the corner of her mouth, "...witness history?"

After listening to the stuttering report of the spy Baili, General Yuchi's face almost turned green.

"Strange? What kind of military intelligence is this? Are you being lazy again and making up a story to fool me?"

Baili Secret Agent was almost crying, "General, you are innocent! Everything I said is true! They are dressed differently from us, and the weapons they use are strange in shape and whizz, much faster than our bows and arrows! I almost couldn't come back!" He was crying and his acting skills were comparable to a graduate from a drama academy.

Advisor Shentu stroked his beard and murmured, "General, this is indeed strange. Could it be... the legendary..." He lowered his voice, "...high-tech?"

"High, high technology?" General Yuchi looked confused.

"It's just... a very powerful technique." Advisor Shentu explained, glaring at the uneducated General Yuchi.

"Oh." General Yuchi nodded, not quite understanding.

At the same time, Baona was teaching the Queen of Ancient Dian a new game - Landlord.

"Bomb! King bomb!" Baona excitedly threw out four Kings, then looked at the confused look on the face of the Queen of Ancient Dian and laughed so hard that she fell over.

"Your Majesty, you need to practice your card skills!"

The Queen of Ancient Dian shook her head helplessly. This girl is so energetic.

However, seeing Baona's happy expression, she couldn't help but laugh too.

At this moment, General Yuchi and Advisor Shentu rushed over and repeated the report of the spy Baili with exaggeration.

"Your Majesty, the mysterious force is coming with great force, we must be on guard!"

After listening to the report, the smile on the face of the Queen of Ancient Dian gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn look.

She looked at Baona with a questioning look in her eyes.

Baona pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that those guys who were beaten away earlier have sought help from outside?"

"Foreign aid? What kind of foreign aid would have such strange equipment and tactics?" Advisor Shentu frowned.

"No matter who they are, we must be fully prepared." A glint flashed in the eyes of the Ancient Dian Queen. "General Yuchi, immediately increase border patrols and closely monitor the enemy's movements!"

"Yes, sir!" General Yuchi took the order and left.

Baona looked at the Queen of Ancient Dian and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have a bold idea..."

"what idea?"

"We...maybe we can take the initiative!" Baona's eyes flashed with a cunning light.

The Queen of Ancient Dian smiled slightly, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Baona leaned close to the ear of the Queen of Ancient Dian and whispered.

After hearing Baona's plan, the Queen of Ancient Dian was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Okay! I'll do as you say! This operation is simply amazing!"

Advisor Shentu was completely confused and had no idea what the two were talking about.

He asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, what exactly is this plan?"

The Queen of Ancient Dian smiled mysteriously, "The secret cannot be revealed!" She turned to look at Bao Na, her eyes full of anticipation, "Baona, this time it's up to you!"

Baona nodded confidently, "Don't worry, Your Majesty! I guarantee that the mission will be accomplished!"

Shentu Strategist: "..." I feel so redundant...
