From cannon fodder villain to beloved heroine

Yan Ruyu looked at the two men who were about to clash, her eyes calm and undisturbed.

She slowly rose, gently raising her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Generals, please calm down. The matter of training needs further discussion." Although the tone was gentle, it carried an undeniable authority.

General Li's face was full of anger, his thick eyebrows stood up like two sharp swords about to be drawn, pointing directly at Deputy General Zhang.

"Take it a long way? He's clearly just arguing with me on purpose!" he roared, making the teacups on the table tremble.

Deputy General Zhang was not to be outdone, and retorted sarcastically, "General Li, you are mistaken. I am merely stating the facts. How can you say I am arguing for the sake of arguing? Could it be that General Li is afraid that my suggestion is better than yours?" He gave a forced smile, and his eyes were almost overflowing with jealousy and resentment.

The surrounding generals looked at each other, shaking their heads and sighing helplessly.

These two are at it again!

They looked silently at Yan Ruyu, hoping that this extraordinary woman could turn the tide once again.

Yan Ruyu rubbed her temples, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

These two are incredibly stubborn, like rocks in a latrine—stinky and unyielding!

She took a deep breath and decided to take them down one by one.

“General Li,” Yan Ruyu walked to General Li’s side and said in a gentle tone, “Let’s talk in private.”

General Li snorted coldly and turned to leave. Yan Ruyu was not annoyed and followed closely behind.

“General Li, I know you are doing this for the good of the army, but Deputy General Zhang’s suggestion is not entirely unreasonable…” Yan Ruyu tried to persuade him.

"Hmph! What does he know!" General Li interrupted her rudely. "He's just jealous of me!"

Yan Ruyu sighed helplessly. Why is this old man throwing a tantrum?

On the other side, Yan Ruyu also spoke with Deputy General Zhang.

"Deputy General Zhang, your training plan certainly has its merits, but you must also consider the actual situation of the soldiers..."

“Miss Yan, you don’t know this, General Li…” Deputy General Zhang embellished the story and recounted all of General Li’s past “crimes,” making Yan Ruyu frown.

These two are truly destined to be enemies!

Yan Ruyu had a splitting headache, but she refused to give up.

She refused to believe that she couldn't handle these two stubborn old men!

“Both generals have valid points,” Yan Ruyu returned to the council hall, a meaningful smile on her face, “How about this…” She paused, her gaze sweeping over everyone, “I have a new idea…”

Yan Ruyu's lips curled into a sly smile, her eyes gleaming with intelligence.

She whispered her plan into Sun's ear.

Upon hearing this, strategist Sun was filled with admiration for Yan Ruyu's wit and nodded repeatedly.

Subsequently, Yan Ruyu informed General Li and Deputy General Zhang of the revised plan, and specifically emphasized that some of the ideas were proposed by them.

Upon hearing this, General Li's brows gradually relaxed, and his previously tense expression softened considerably.

He looked at the plan, pondered for a moment, and said, "Hmm, this method is indeed good. It can improve the soldiers' combat capabilities while ensuring their physical strength. I didn't expect Old Zhang to come up with such a good idea." There was a hint of appreciation in his tone.

After reading the plan, Deputy General Zhang couldn't help but show an expression of sudden realization.

He stroked his chin and said, "I see. This training method is indeed more efficient. General Li truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran who has seen countless battles; his considerations are always thorough." His tone also carried a hint of admiration.

The two looked at each other and saw a hint of shame in each other's eyes.

The arguments we had before now seem so childish and ridiculous.

The surrounding generals looked at Yan Ruyu with admiration as they witnessed this scene.

This seemingly delicate woman resolved the conflict between the two so easily, which is truly admirable.

As Xu, the male protagonist, watched Yan Ruyu shining in the crowd, he quietly walked to her side and gently took her hand.

Yan Ruyu turned her head and saw that it was Xu, the male lead, and a surprised smile appeared on her face.

The surrounding soldiers saw this scene,

The male protagonist, Xu, said gently to Yan Ruyu, "You're really amazing."

Yan Ruyu winked playfully and said, "Of course, don't you know who I am?"

Suddenly, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from afar...

A fast horse galloped in, its hooves shattering the brief silence.

"Report! Enemy troops are attacking!" The scout dismounted, knelt on one knee, and spoke urgently.

"Enemy attack? They came so fast!" General Li frowned deeply. Everyone came out of the tent. In the distance, dust was flying and banners were blocking out the sun. It was a dark mass, like a locust swarm passing by, coming with great force.

"This formation...it's a bit strange!" Deputy General Zhang squinted, carefully observing the enemy's formation, his brows furrowed.

The enemy's formation this time was peculiar and unpredictable, like a ghost, making it difficult to fathom.

General Li and his generals looked grave, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

The soldiers, weapons in hand and eyes blazing, stood ready for battle, a chilling atmosphere filling the air.

"Beat the drums! Prepare for battle!" At General Li's command, the war drums thundered, and the soldiers charged towards the enemy like arrows released from a bow.

On the battlefield, shouts of battle shook the heavens, swords clashed, and flames soared into the sky.

General Li and Deputy General Zhang led from the front, like two fierce tigers, charging left and right through the enemy lines with unparalleled bravery.

The male protagonist, Xu, was equally impressive, wielding his long sword with fierce and powerful movements, like a war god descending to earth, invincible in all directions.

The three worked together seamlessly, leading their soldiers in a valiant fight against the enemy and managing to repel their offensive.

The enemy forces suffered repeated defeats, abandoning their armor and weapons, and fled in disarray.

On the battlefield, cheers of victory resounded through the sky.

General Li and Deputy General Zhang exchanged a smile, their unspoken understanding unspoken.

The male protagonist, Xu, looked into the distance.

"This time, we owe it all to Ruyu's plan, otherwise..." General Li sighed.

"Yes, Ruyu is truly a heroine!" Deputy General Zhang exclaimed sincerely.

However, Yan Ruyu frowned as she looked at the mountain of grain and fodder consumption lists.

"Something's not right. The food supplies are being consumed too quickly; something's definitely fishy!"

Meanwhile, in the enemy camp, several generals were sitting around a table, discussing something.

"This plan has failed. It seems we underestimated their strength."

"However, we've discovered an interesting person, a young master Xu. His martial arts and strategies are extraordinary. If we could recruit him..." a general

As night fell, the enemy camp in the distance was brightly lit, like a lurking beast, sending chills down one's spine.

Yan Ruyu stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance, a sense of unease rising in her heart.

"Young Master Xu, you must be careful..."
