From then on, the Yun family entrusted Yan Cheng with the responsibility of leading troops to resist the invasion of Xiangcheng by the Hu people and prevent the Hu people from invading Daxia.
Yan Cheng seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible force. He forgot everything else and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the battle to defend his country.
In the early morning, Yan Cheng got up before the first ray of sunlight had completely penetrated the morning mist.
He was dressed in a simple and capable military uniform and walked hurriedly towards the study.
The small room was filled with maps and military deployment diagrams of the area around Xiangcheng, and the table was piled with various intelligence and strategic materials.
Yan Cheng stared at the sand table intently, his fingers moving lightly on it, constantly simulating various possible battle scenarios and the routes of the Hu people's attack in his mind.
His eyes were extremely focused, as if he could see the smoke and flames of the battlefield through the map.
Then, he quickly flipped through the intelligence in his hand, not missing any tiny details, trying to find the weaknesses and flaws of the Hu people.
When day falls, he will put down the map and intelligence, personally climb up the city wall of Xiangcheng, and carefully observe the movements of the Hu people outside the city.
He stared into the distance with a homemade telescope, not missing any movement of the Hu people.
He noticed that the Hu people were wandering outside Xiangcheng, as if they were planning something.
After returning to the city, Yan Cheng did not take time to rest and immediately summoned the generals to discuss strategy.
In fact, when Yan Cheng just became the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army, there were many generals and soldiers in the army who were suspicious and distrustful of him.
Those battle-hardened soldiers and generals did not take Yan Cheng, the fair-faced young man, seriously and often treated him perfunctorily.
In their eyes, Yan Cheng was just a young boy. How could he lead them to repel the ferocious Hu people and achieve victory?
However, Yan Cheng was not driven away by these questioning voices.
Action is the best proof and the best way to slap someone in the face.
On the battlefield, he always leads the charge and rushes to the front line.
In every battle, he was like a brave lion leader, roaring fiercely at his enemies and prey.
Many soldiers and generals remembered that during a fierce battle, the Hu people came like a tide, but Yan Cheng, although he was the Prince of Yong, was not afraid at all.
He took the lead, rushed into the enemy camp, and sweated profusely.
His sword flashed coldly in the sunlight, and every time it was swung, it would bring up a splash of blood.
The soldiers behind him were so excited that they followed closely and fought bravely.
Victory after victory slapped some people in the face, and Yan Cheng proved his strength with practical actions.
Those soldiers and generals who once doubted his ability were gradually impressed by his bravery and wisdom.
They began to believe that this young man had extraordinary talent for combat command and could lead them to victory time and time again.
They were no longer as skeptical as they were in the past, but instead carefully considered every decision Yan Cheng made.
At this time, the generals of Xiangcheng were holding a meeting in the study.
Yan Cheng: "We can't just take a passive defensive approach. We must take the initiative and disrupt the Hu people's deployment."
Yan Cheng pointed the small stick in his hand at the key location on the map and explained his plan in detail.
The generals all listened attentively, some nodded in agreement, while others raised some doubts and concerns.
Yan Cheng remained calm and patiently answered their questions, constantly improving the battle plan.
At night, the lights in Yan Cheng's study were still on.
He sat at his desk, writing furiously, organizing his thoughts and plans for the day into a detailed battle plan.
The candlelight flickered on his face, illuminating his tired but determined features.
"Acheng, you haven't eaten yet!"
A dissatisfied low male voice interrupted Yan Cheng's thoughts, and he looked up.
I saw a man who was still used to wearing black after all these years coming in virtuously carrying a bowl of soup.
Yan Cheng: "I'm not hungry!"
However, the next moment, they all heard their stomachs growling in the study.
Yan Cheng: “…”
Leng Yan couldn't help laughing. He placed the soup in front of Yan Cheng and carefully put away the battle plan he had written.
Leng Yan: "Eat first, then write."
In front of Yan Cheng, Leng Yan rarely acts so tough.
If it was something else, Leng Yan wouldn't care too much, but since it concerned Yan Cheng's health, Leng Yan didn't dare to be careless.
During this period, Yan Cheng always forgot the passage of time because he was thinking about problems.
When it comes to eating, he often just takes a few bites of food and then stops eating, or even completely forgets about eating.
Leng Yan had advised him many times to get enough rest and take care of his body, but he always agreed superficially and continued to do as he pleased.
So Leng Yan simply asked the people around Yan Cheng about his diet whenever he had time.
Then, knowing that Yan Cheng had not eaten, he immediately brought food to feed him.
As for why it is when there is time.
Since Yan Cheng took command of the troops, Leng Yan's attitude has changed dramatically.
Once upon a time, Leng Yan had no interest in joining the army and becoming a general.
He just wanted to spend every day peacefully with Yan Cheng.
However, after Yan Cheng took on the responsibility of leading the army to resist the Hu people, Leng Yan's heart began to undergo subtle changes.
He watched Yan Cheng busying around every day and worrying about the war, and Leng Yan's heart was deeply hurt.
Leng Yan realized that as long as the Hu people were not repelled, Yan Cheng would not have a moment of respite or peace.
If only the Hu people left the territory of Daxia, would Asheng no longer have to work as hard as he does now?
This idea became stronger and stronger in Leng Yan's mind, and finally turned into a firm determination.
