Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

"This... how could this be someone from the General's Mansion?" Qiu San stammered, his voice trembling with obvious regret.

Qiu San tried to appear calm, but his trembling lips betrayed him.

Cold sweat began to bead on his forehead, large beads of sweat sliding down his cheeks. His previous arrogance had vanished without a trace, replaced by deep fear and unease.

"I... I was blind to your greatness, I've offended you, I've offended you." Qiu San said as he backed away, trying to escape this troublesome place as quickly as possible.

However, his eyes still couldn't help but steal glances at Su Lianxue, secretly regretting in his heart: such a beauty, just looking at her figure is enough to be mesmerizing, if only... But when he thought of the general's majesty, he quickly shook his head, not daring to think any further, and then sheepishly turned around and hurriedly walked away.

This little incident did not have a significant impact on Su Lianxue.

......

After returning to the general's mansion, she asked Xiao Tao and Xiao Mei if they knew who was with Shangguan Yu.

Because Xiaotao and Xiaomei were originally servants in the mansion, they rarely saw outsiders, so they were unaware of this.

So Su Lianxue asked, "When will the general return to the manor?"

"I don't know. Sometimes the general doesn't return for a long time. Miss, is there anything you need? I'll go ask the steward."

"No need. Just let me know if you're going back to your residence, General."

However, after thinking for a moment, Xiao Tao went to see the steward and said, "Steward Yu, Miss is looking for the General today, saying she has something to discuss."

Upon hearing this, the steward frowned slightly and hurriedly asked, "Do you know what Miss wants to see?" During this time, everyone could see how much the General valued Miss. Therefore, they became anxious when they heard that Miss wanted to see the General.

Xiao Tao gently shook her head and replied, "Miss didn't mention anything, she just said to inform her when the general returns to the manor."

The steward pondered for a moment, then decisively said, "I will immediately send a servant to the military camp to inform them."

......

In winter, the biting wind howls, and the borderland is shrouded in a severe cold.

Due to extreme scarcity of supplies, the enemy forces of the Canglang Kingdom seized the opportunity to frequently harass the peaceful villages along the border.

The people suffered terribly, and their lives and property were seriously threatened.

As a general, Chu Mohan bore the heavy responsibility of protecting the peace of the border. He worked day and night and personally went to inspect many villages that had been attacked.

As a result, he has not returned to the general's mansion for many days.

On this day, the general, who had just returned from an inspection, still looked exhausted.

Chu Mohan then heard hurried footsteps outside the tent. Immediately afterward, a soldier came forward to report, "General, news has come from the manor that Miss Su wants to see you."

Chu Mohan was slightly taken aback, and the look of doubt on his face was instantly replaced by a hint of worry.

His brows furrowed tightly, and his heart pounded faster than usual. After a moment's hesitation, he asked urgently, "Did they say what it was about?"

The soldier bowed his head and replied respectfully, "No, General."

Chu Mohan waved his hand lightly and said, "I understand, you can go now."

After the soldiers withdrew, Chu Mohan stood there, his heart filled with worry.

Su Lianxue has always been composed and self-controlled. Unless it is something important, she would never easily send someone to deliver a message to her.

What could have happened so suddenly? Could she have encountered some danger? Or was she unwell? Various unpleasant speculations kept surfacing in his mind, making his heart clench even tighter.

He paced back and forth in his tent, restless and anxious, wishing he could rush back to the manor immediately to see what was wrong with Miss Su.

After a moment of contemplation, Chu Mohan solemnly summoned his lieutenants. He stood quietly in the center of the tent, his posture upright as a pine tree, his gaze firm and profound, as if it could pierce through all the fog.

Chu Mohan's face was serious as he slowly and solemnly said, "Gentlemen, recently, the people of Canglang Kingdom have been frequently launching surprise attacks on villages near us. The innocent people have suffered greatly, and their lives and property have been seriously threatened."

As soldiers, we shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting our country and safeguarding our people.

Under these circumstances, we must ensure our defenses are in place and do everything in our power to protect our people. Now, let's all share our thoughts.

An older deputy general spoke first: "General, in my humble opinion, we can increase the number of patrol teams to closely monitor the surrounding villages."

Sending outposts at key locations were set up to detect the movements of the enemy forces from the Canglang Kingdom in a timely manner, providing early warnings and giving the people time to take cover.

In the current situation, the people of the Canglang Kingdom are coming on strong. They act unpredictably and often launch surprise attacks under the cover of night or in bad weather.

Our patrol teams must remain vigilant at all times and cannot afford to be complacent in the slightest.

Every corner where enemy troops might appear must be carefully searched to ensure that no suspicious sign is overlooked.

The sentry post should be located in a place with a clear view, overlooking the surrounding terrain. Once enemy forces are spotted, a signal should be sent immediately so that nearby civilians and our troops can react quickly.

Another lieutenant added, "General, we can also reinforce the fortifications around the village, building simple walls and trenches to enhance the village's defensive capabilities."

At the same time, organize the people to conduct certain defense training so that they can also have some self-protection ability in times of crisis.

For civilians' defense training, we can teach them some simple fighting skills and defense strategies, so that they know how to protect themselves and their families when the enemy attacks.

During training, we can also select brave and resourceful civilians to form militia units to assist our army in defense.

Another young and ambitious lieutenant said, "General, why don't we take the initiative and teach the Canglang Kingdom a lesson so that they won't dare to invade our villages so easily again?"

We can send elite troops to launch a surprise attack on their camp while they are off guard, thus curbing their arrogance.

Although the army of the Azure Wolf Kingdom is fierce, they also have weaknesses. We can use our familiarity with the terrain to formulate a meticulous battle plan.

Select the bravest warriors to form a suicide squad, infiltrate the enemy camp, and disrupt their plans.

During the raid, we must act swiftly and decisively, giving the enemy no chance to regroup. Success will greatly boost our morale and show the people of the Canglang Kingdom that we are not to be trifled with.

After listening to the analyses of the several deputy generals, Chu Mohan fell into deep thought. His eyes revealed a cautious and thoughtful light as he pondered what the best course of action would be.
