Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Daughter: Not to be Trifled With

Shen Shi's entourage escorted Su Yun Chu safely back to the Su residence, where Su Lie warmly received him.

Su Lie learned from his attendant that Su Yun Chu had secretly followed them, but Shen Shi discovered her and sent her back. Upon hearing this, Su Lie felt a wave of fear wash over him.

Su Lie then thanked his attendant and asked him to convey his thanks to Shen Shi. The attendant nodded in agreement.

Su Lie chatted with his attendant for a while, then the attendant bid Su Lie farewell and prepared to leave.

Su Lie instructed his steward, Su Bo, to prepare a fast horse and some dry rations for his attendant to take on the journey. Su Lie personally escorted his attendant out of the city and watched him ride away into the distance.

After his attendants disappeared from Su Lie's sight on horseback, Su Lie got into his carriage and returned to the Su residence. A short while later, Su Lie arrived back at the Su residence.

He glanced at the steward, Uncle Su, and coldly ordered, "Uncle Su, go to Xiaguang Courtyard right now and bring the young lady here to me."

Seeing this, Uncle Su dared not slacken his efforts and hurriedly went to Xiaguang Courtyard. A short while later, Su Yun Chu came over with Uncle Su.

"Chu'er, kneel down before me." Su Lie said coldly, "You secretly followed me there. If your sixth uncle hadn't sent someone to bring you back, I wouldn't have known. Are you trying to scare your father to death?"

After hearing this, Su Yun looked at Su Lie, knelt down, and whispered, "Father, I'm delivering weapons to my brother and the others. I didn't mean to hide it from you; I just didn't want you to worry!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie's expression softened slightly. He was only worried about his beloved daughter, Su Yun Chu. "Chu'er, this must never happen again. It will make your father extremely worried!"

After hearing this, Su Yun Chu looked at Su Lie and nodded obediently. Seeing this, Su Lie waved his hand, signaling Su Yun Chu to go and rest.

Su Yun Chu bid farewell to Su Lie and returned to her own Xia Guang Courtyard. She lay quietly on her bed, unable to fall asleep, eager to know if her brother and the others were doing well.

Several hours later, the attendant finally returned to the camp. The attendant gave Shen Shi a detailed report on what had happened along the way.

This included Su Lie's gratitude and the fact that Su Yun Chu had arrived home safely. Upon hearing that everything had gone smoothly, Shen Shi finally felt relieved.

That day, the enemy army, 500 miles away, banged drums and gongs and challenged them, saying, "You cowards inside, hurry up and come out and surrender to your grandpa, or maybe your grandpa will consider sparing your dog lives."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shi's subordinates were all extremely angry. One of them spoke up, "General, those people outside are really going too far! Let me go and meet them and teach them a lesson in manners."

Others chimed in, "Yes! General, please let us go and dampen the spirits of those people outside!"

After hearing this, Shen Shi looked at his subordinates and said in a low voice, "Soldiers, please be quiet and listen to me!" His subordinates immediately fell silent.

Shen Shi glanced at his capable lieutenant, Li, beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Those people outside are so arrogant; they must have something to rely on."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Lieutenant General Li, send a few men to investigate those people outside. Be very careful, and bring them back to me safe and sound!"

"This subordinate obeys!" After accepting the order, Lieutenant General Li clasped his hands and withdrew.

Lieutenant General Li turned and selected several shrewd and capable scouts, who quietly slipped out of the camp and approached the enemy. Soon after, the scouts returned with news.

"General, the enemy has brought more than 50,000 troops this time, and judging from their military bearing, they should be the enemy's elite forces," Lieutenant General Li reported to Shen Shi with a solemn expression.

Shen Shi pondered for a moment, a resolute glint in his eyes. "Since that's the case, then let them never return! All soldiers, heed my command, follow me into battle, and slaughter them without leaving a single one alive!"

In an instant, morale soared in the camp, and the soldiers rubbed their fists together, ready to fight the enemy to the death.

Shen Shi led his troops in a fierce battle against the enemy. The two sides clashed in close combat, fighting fiercely and evenly.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and the shouts of battle echoed everywhere. Shen Shi led the charge, wielding his long sword and relentlessly cutting down the enemy. His bravery inspired his soldiers, who followed him into battle, risking their lives for him.

However, the enemy forces were numerous and gradually gained the upper hand. Shen Shi's army was in dire straits, suffering particularly heavy casualties.

Just then, Shen Shi noticed a slight opening in the enemy's rear. He immediately decided to lead a cavalry unit to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's flank.

This sudden attack disrupted the enemy's rhythm, and Shen Shi's army seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, gradually turning the tide of the battle.

Shen Shi led his men in pursuit, closing in on the enemy commander. He drew his sword, pointed it at the enemy general, and roared, "Prepare to die!"

Upon hearing this, the enemy general panicked and drew his sword to try and defend himself. However, Shen Shi's offensive was too fierce, and in no time, the enemy commander was cut down from his horse.

Seeing this, the soldiers' morale soared. "Chase them! Kill them all, don't let a single one escape!"

The enemy troops, having lost their commander and their backbone, were like a pile of loose sand. Some fled in panic, some surrendered directly, and others who resisted stubbornly were killed.

Looking at the battle situation before him, Shen Shi breathed a sigh of relief. He ordered his men to properly collect the surrendered prisoners and clean up the battlefield.

After completing these tasks, Shen Shi summoned his subordinates to the camp to discuss what to do next.

"General, we should press our advantage and rout the enemy," several subordinates suggested.

At this moment, several dissenting voices came over: "General, this is absolutely unacceptable! Although we have won the battle, we have also suffered heavy losses."

"Our primary task now should be to treat the wounded and allow the troops to rest and recuperate. The enemy has just lost its commander and will surely fight back fiercely, which will be another tough battle."

After listening, Shen Shi nodded, "What you all say makes sense. Although our army has won this time, the casualties are also considerable, and we do need time to rest and recuperate."

"Pass on my orders: actively treat the wounded, and at the same time strengthen vigilance. As for the enemy, send some scouts to closely monitor their movements. If they make any unusual moves, we will seize the opportunity to act."

Upon hearing this, all his subordinates responded in unison and set off separately. Meanwhile, Shen Shi wrote a battle report and instructed his most trusted subordinate to send it back to the capital as quickly as possible to present to the emperor.

Several days later, life gradually returned to the camp. The wounded received timely treatment, and the soldiers were able to recuperate and their morale was high.
