Chapter 46
The generals discussed Yun Mian's method of cannibalization in the camp for a whole day. After marking a military map densely with enemy and friendly forces, formations, and countermeasures, they watched with great interest as General Yun Peijin compiled these things into a strategy and ordered someone to rush it back to the Daqing Imperial City for 800 miles so that the emperor and court officials could make the next decision.
After that, there is a waiting period which is not too long but not too short.
Fighting a war is not just about charging forward recklessly when generals and soldiers say they can fight. There are many other things that need to be considered, such as military support, food and fodder in the rear, medical care, equipment and horses, etc. All aspects require a long time to prepare.
If a battle can be ended in one day, then before that day, the army may have to spend a month or even two or three months preparing all the weapons for the battle.
"The teacher said that unless it's an accident, we can't fight an unprepared war. Otherwise, the soldiers will be like people being commanded to walk on a single-plank bridge. They will be nervous and uneasy, and it will be easy for them to get into chaos. Once they get into chaos, it will be difficult to control the war." Yun Mian bit the tip of the pen while studying the border defense map and telling the system uncle about her ideas.
"I hope my uncle and the court officials will not hold mother back. Otherwise, even if we have conducted hundreds of military exercises, this battle could easily go wrong due to armament issues."
When the teacher talked about those historical battles, he would always sigh helplessly and painfully about some battles, because those generals, soldiers and even the people and the country behind them could have been saved, but because the armaments in the rear were not prepared properly, the food, equipment, horses... and the various weird decisions made by the emperor and court officials, one careless mistake affected the overall situation.
"But I think my uncle is a smart emperor. He will definitely not do such a stupid thing." Yun Mian said, picking up a pen and drawing a dark circle on the imperial city of Tuguo. After domineeringly erasing the name, he wrote the word Daqing on it.
Her behavior was a bit childish, but now in the entire military camp, no one would treat her as an innocent child anymore.
Yunmian began to be allowed to participate in the soldiers' military discussions and was allowed to ride a horse and lead her 500 soldiers to patrol the border. She finally integrated into the border army as a "centurion".
The decision made by the imperial city was quickly sent to the border.
But the person who delivered the letter was a little special.
Yun Mian was riding on a horse, leaning over to look at Bai Lie standing alone on the side of the road, and asked curiously, "Are you here alone?"
Bai Lie smiled bitterly with a dusty face: "As soon as the news about you spread back to the imperial city, my grandfather threw me out of the house without saying a word after reading it, and told me to come here and listen to you carefully..."
Yun Mian couldn't help but smile happily when she heard this: "Master, he is really far-sighted!"
Bai Lie: “…”
Stinky ass!
The two children usually practiced martial arts and took military tactics classes together, so they were no strangers to each other when they met each other now. After Yun Mian confirmed that Bai Lie came with the emperor's order, he took him back.
"General, after several discussions, His Majesty and the court officials have agreed to follow the method you set. Some people you may need will be sent to us in due course. Food, fodder, and military equipment are already being prepared. In addition..."
Bai Lie kept the emperor's order in mind. After explaining all the arrangements in the imperial city one by one, he took out the imperial edict written by the emperor himself and handed it to Yun Peijin.
"This is what His Majesty ordered me to bring. He said that everything that follows will be at your discretion. After all, opportunities are fleeting, so you will be the one making the final decision."
Yun Mian secretly said to the system: "Uncle System, look, is this what you said before, that it is easier to get things done with someone behind the scenes?"
System: "...Yes, with an emperor behind you, everything will become simple."
Yun Mian nodded with relief: "Mom has my uncle behind her, and I will have my second brother behind me in the future!"
The system touched the little girl's head and felt equally relieved.
After finishing the serious business, Yun Mian and Bai Lie officially started the "reminiscing" session.
"The Second Prince ordered me to bring this to you." Bai Lie first took something out of his arms and handed it to her.
Yun Mian took it curiously. It was a... jade pendant?
"When I left, His Majesty had just announced the selection of the second prince as the crown prince. However, the court must have been arguing over this matter these past two days. Perhaps there will be a conclusion in a few days." Bai Lie brought the news to her.
The jade pendant in Yunmian's hand felt warm and smooth, and looked very familiar. It was the one that her second brother often wore when he was a child.
"The Second Prince told you to use this jade to scare others if you encounter problems you can't solve. But be careful not to cause trouble every day. He doesn't have wings, so he can't fly to the border to clean up your mess."
Bai Lie suppressed his laughter and repeated this sentence, avoiding Yun Mian's angry gaze that wanted to assassinate him, and coughed, "In addition to this piece of jade, I was also sent by the Second Prince to keep an eye on you, so that you can think twice before doing anything, and not cause chaos at the border every day."
As he spoke, he patted his thin shoulders and said jokingly: "I have a heavy burden on my shoulders, you have to take good care of me!"
Yun Mian couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "When did you start working together with my second brother behind my back? Don't tell him about this, or I'll throw you to the wolves!"
Very fierce.
But Yunmian had a new doubt in an instant: "Why did Master ask you to come here? Wouldn't it be better to go to the border over in Nanke? Uncle is there, and you can take better care of him if you go there, right?"
Bai Lie's face fell, and he glared at her weakly: "You also said that if I go to my father, I will definitely be taken care of better, and there are also those who will not let me be taken care of. Whatever the old man said was handed over by him, let us compete with each other. Whoever performs too badly will not go back to see him during the New Year. He said that he can't afford to lose face!"
In fact, both of them knew that General Bai made such arrangements in order to let Bai Lie come to relieve some of the public pressure on Yun Mian. After he came and became a general, no one would say too much about Yun Mian just because she was a child.
Another purpose is to train him. Nan Ke has always maintained a relative balance, so there will be no fighting in a short time. Moreover, the person stationed in Nan Ke is Bai Lie's biological father. When he goes there, it is inevitable that some people will question or try to please him because of this identity. In any case, it will not have a good impact on the army.
"Besides, isn't a war about to break out here? General Yun Peijin's reputation and strength on the battlefield are no less than my grandfather's, so I came here to learn how to lead troops in battle."
After a pause, Bai Lie's expression became a little more serious, and he said, "Grandpa always said that military commanders do not rely on talent, but on repeated life and death. I am three years older than you, and now I can also join the army and fight the enemy."
Yun Mian was not surprised by this. She took a look outside and whispered, "You can go to the battlefield, but you have to take me with you!"
Bai Lie: "The general allows you to go to the battlefield?"
Yunmian: “…I don’t know.”
The little girl puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and said the most cowardly words in the most stern tone: "I dare not tell my mother, I'm afraid she will have someone lock me up before the two armies fight."
She always felt that everyone around her was on guard against her causing trouble, but Yunmian didn't think she had caused any trouble at all. She was so well-behaved every day. She had been staying in the military camp for so long that she was almost covered with mushrooms, but she never sneaked out to cause trouble!
"If you don't dare, do you think I dare?" Bai Lie sighed.
When Yunmian was studying at the Bai family, she was a little bully who wanted to be the best in everything. She was even more unruly than other playboys when it came to teasing cats and dogs. However, she was also the best at pretending to be innocent with that cute and fair face. Many times, grandpa knew that both of them had made mistakes, but he was reluctant to punish Yunmian severely.
Bai Lie, who was punished, was almost jealous of her to death!
"...You can go to the battlefield at the age of twelve, so what's wrong with me going at the age of nine?" Yun Mian was also jealous of him.
"Because I'm taller and bigger than you!"
"But I'm better than you!"
"I'm taller than you!"
“Better than you!!”
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, then turned their heads away angrily and started sulking as usual.
Yun Mian was so angry that he led the people to the army he was leading.
"So what if I'm taller than you and me?" The little princess stood high on the millstone, with her hands on her hips, staring at the boy below: "You're going to follow me in the future, aren't you?!"
Bai Lie: “…”
He touched the tip of his nose and stopped talking.
So why did grandpa tell him to listen to Yunmian? Now he has no room to resist!
Finally, he was able to defeat Bai Lie. Yun Mian did not take advantage of his power to bully others. He took him to get acquainted with other soldiers and told Wei Wu and Chu Tian to take better care of Bai Lie.
"He will go to the battlefield with you in the future, so don't hold back in training, especially in the military formation training. Let him become more familiar with it so that there won't be any trouble when the time comes." Yun Mian never jokes about such things.
After receiving the order, the two men exchanged names with Bai Lie. After learning that he was the grandson of General Bai, everyone was eager to try his current martial arts skills.
After Bai Lie agreed, Yun Mian prepared to watch the fun while reminding everyone loudly: "He is several generations younger than you. Don't take advantage of your age and strength to bully others."
Amidst the booing, Yun Mian worriedly thought about Bai Lie's head and said, "Don't fight hard if you can't win. Although you practice martial arts, they have all seen blood on the battlefield. They don't care about the severity of the fight. Don't be stupid and bear it hard just for the sake of face. If you get hurt, I won't be able to explain to Master."
With a dark face, Bai Lie slapped the dog's paw that was rubbing his head. He walked to the center of the circle formed by the crowd and said loudly: "I won't compete with you in strength, but in weapons. I am good at using spears and sticks, and I am also good at riding and shooting and swordsmanship. As for other weapons, I have also dabbled in them. I am not particularly powerful, but I can use them to perform a few tricks."
Since these 500 soldiers of Yunmian were specially appointed by the emperor, there were naturally quite a few among them who were skilled in martial arts. Those who practiced martial arts could at least practice a few moves with various weapons. So as soon as Bai Lie said this, the atmosphere among the soldiers became more heated, and they immediately encouraged those with good martial arts to come forward and fight with Bai Lie.
Yunmian and Uncle System squatted on the millstone and watched the fun.
He was holding a handful of fried beans in his hand and eating them happily.
Martial arts competitions are the easiest way to bring people closer together and the quickest way to establish one's position in the military.
So Yun Mian dragged Bai Lie here as soon as possible, and Bai Lie did not tarnish the reputation of the general's family in the subsequent competitions, nor did he let Yun Mian's arrangements go to waste.
Since entering the military camp, the little princess has become more and more like a soldier. Sigh...
