Tang Dynasty: To win Yang Guifei, they asked Emperor Xuanzong to die.

Guo Ziyi led his elite squad in a quiet lie-in.

"Be careful, we will continue forward, avoiding enemy reconnaissance teams," Guo Ziyi said softly but decisively.

"General, please rest assured, we are all prepared," the lieutenant replied in a low voice.

The group moved silently, everyone proceeding cautiously, afraid of making any noise.

Not far ahead, the Wolf Army's reconnaissance team was slowly dispersing, clearly not having much suspicion about the area.

This relieved Guo Ziyi slightly.

“We need to gather more intelligence, especially on the specific cooperation between the wolf army and the tribe,” Guo Ziyi said to the scout captain beside him.

He knew that only by understanding the other party's background could he formulate a more accurate strategy.

Guo Ziyi led his elite squad through the dense bushes, carefully observing the layout of the wolf army camp and meticulously noting down every detail.

"General, the Wolf Army's defenses seem to have a weakness in the northeast, which suggests that it might be their logistics or supply line," the scout captain reported the latest findings.

Guo Ziyi nodded slightly and said, "This may be our breakthrough point. If we act properly, we can catch them off guard."

At this moment, the enemy reconnaissance team gradually deviated from its course and, without noticing the presence of the Tang army's elite troops, had already blended into the more distant wilderness.

Guo Ziyi gestured for everyone to relax a bit, but remain vigilant.

"It seems our opportunity has arrived," Guo Ziyi said softly.

"General, what is the next action plan?" the lieutenant asked warily.

"We will gradually approach the enemy from the locations we have scouted and seize the opportunity to eliminate them, especially by exploiting their weaknesses," Guo Ziyi replied frankly.

After the order was given, the elite squad readjusted its formation in the dense forest and continued its advance.

"We're almost in the Wolf Army's rear area, everyone must be on high alert," Guo Ziyi said softly, and his companions all nodded in tacit agreement.

As they moved forward, they discovered another weak point in the wolf army camp.

As previously speculated, this was indeed a relatively lax enemy defense, with only a few guards on the outer perimeter.

"It seems they didn't expect our army to be able to penetrate this deep." Guo Ziyi smiled slightly, already having a preliminary tactical plan in mind.

The lieutenant leaned forward and whispered, "General, we can set up an ambush here and wait for the right moment to launch a surprise attack."

Guo Ziyi pondered for a moment, “No, we need to infiltrate deeper and obtain more intelligence. This is our top priority, and we must not alert the enemy.”

"Yes, General." The lieutenant quickly understood and then led his men into action.

Meanwhile, Li Mao inside the camp was racking his brains to adjust his strategy.

He knew that the risks taken by Guo Ziyi's elite squad were crucial to the overall situation. If successful, the Tang army could reverse its disadvantage and turn defeat into victory.

"Is there any new information from General Guo?" Li Mao asked the staff officer beside him, anxiously hoping to get the latest developments from the front.

"Your Highness, we just received a secret report from General Guo. They have penetrated deep behind enemy lines and are waiting for an opportunity to strike," the staff officer replied cautiously.

Li Mao nodded, turning his gaze into the distance. "I hope they can complete their mission successfully. We must buy them more time."

Every general in the camp understood this, so they concentrated all available resources and troops to make the defenses watertight.

They are distributed in highlands, forest edges, and various important strategic locations, ready to respond to possible enemy counterattacks at any time.

"The Wolf Army has been making frequent moves lately; they must have something on their mind," a lieutenant analyzed.

“Alright, continue to monitor closely, and report immediately if you have any intelligence,” Li Mao solemnly reminded him, his brows furrowed in deep thought.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, Guo Ziyi's troops had already penetrated deep into enemy territory.

They crawled along, and through observation, they learned that the wolf army seemed to be contacting another hidden force through a secret passage—the unknown tribe that the scouts had mentioned earlier.

"General, I've noticed that these people seem to be exchanging supplies, most likely weapons and provisions," a slightly weary scout reported.

"It seems to be part of their supply line. If we can cut it off, we can definitely cripple their logistics," Guo Ziyi thought to himself.

"Write it down immediately, and then we'll leave quickly. We've already gathered important intelligence, so don't be greedy and act rashly." Guo Ziyi calmly gave the order, while ensuring the safe retreat of all team members.

The team that successfully obtained the intelligence, led by Guo Ziyi, carefully withdrew from the enemy's sight and buried all traces along the way.

When they returned to the Tang army camp, Guo Ziyi immediately reported the situation to Li Mao: "Your Highness, according to our investigation, the Wolf Army is cooperating with a secret tribe, and they are obtaining weapons and supplies from this tribe."

Li Mao nodded solemnly. "This is indeed an important discovery. We can make use of this supply line."

"In my humble opinion, once this supply line is cut off, the Wolf Army will definitely be put on the defensive," Guo Ziyi added.

After deep thought, Li Mao's expression gradually relaxed. "Just as General Guo said, we must concentrate our efforts to break through this line of defense."

"Your Highness, we can send out a small force to launch a surprise attack on this probing line, thus containing them and weakening their fighting capacity," Li Jingqing suggested.

Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, two scouts hurriedly returned to the camp, bringing news that the wolf army had suddenly assembled.

"Your Highness, General Guo, the Wolf Army is mobilizing heavy troops in our direction. It seems they have noticed some of our movements," the scout reported, panting heavily.

Upon hearing this news, everyone's expressions became much more serious.

“It seems they are preparing to launch a frontal offensive.” Li Mao frowned slightly, but showed no sign of panic. “General Guo, we need to adjust our strategy.”

Guo Ziyi pondered for a moment, and a plan had already taken shape in his mind. "Your Highness, please allow me to lead an army to outflank and intercept the enemy's supply lines, while at the same time sending elite cavalry to harass their main combat force."

Li Mao's eyes gleamed with admiration. He understood Guo Ziyi's abilities, so he didn't hesitate at all.

"Do it your way. Everyone, listen up, prepare for battle! Maintain high alert, ensure all soldiers are ready to fight at any time."

The sound of war drums rang out in the camp, and the various units quickly assembled. The soldiers were ready to go at the command of their generals.

"Li Jingqing, we will fight side by side in this battle," Guo Ziyi said softly.

Li Jingqing nodded and said, "I've been holding back for so long, I can finally have a good fight."
