One of them looked at Tang Nian beside him and asked in a low voice, "Lord Tang, what do we do now?"
The general gave them instructions before they came, and they must obey Lord Tang's orders the whole way.
They did exactly what Lord Tang said.
Tang Nian didn't stand on ceremony and simply waved her hand in response to their questions.
"Go find their granary and set it on fire. Once it's lit, don't linger and get back to Great Chu immediately."
The soldiers were filled with excitement upon hearing this.
They've been fighting the Da Gan for so many years, but to be honest, they've suffered a lot at the hands of the Da Gan, especially recently when the Da Gan army almost completely outmaneuvered them.
But then I suddenly realized something was wrong.
It sounds like Lord Tang isn't going with them?
And what about you?
Tang Nian glanced at the brightly lit tents and said casually, "Find the command tent of the big operation, and I'll go capture their leader."
Tang Nian's eyes were filled with excitement as she spoke.
"My lord, this... isn't that inappropriate?"
The leading soldier tried to stop Tang Nian, but was so frightened by Tang Nian's gaze that he shrank back and dared not speak further.
"You should worry about your own lives."
Tang Nian dusted off the dust, straightened up, and said in a calm tone, "Just do as I say. Now, split up and act."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Nian disappeared.
Only this squad of soldiers was left bewildered in the darkness and cold wind.
"Captain, this..." A soldier cautiously stepped forward from behind.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'listen to Lord Tang's orders.' Now, you go find the granary, and I'll guard the escape route..."
The soldier leader rolled his eyes and proceeded to issue orders in an orderly manner.
Meanwhile, Tang Nian walked towards the commander's tent with ease, as if she had entered an empty place.
The patrolling soldiers brushed past her, seemingly oblivious.
Meanwhile, inside the tent, the high-ranking generals sat with solemn expressions.
I don't know if Da Gan has gone mad today. It's not like we've never encountered situations where both sides used trickery before, but we've never made them suffer so much before.
Inside their tents, they were loudly discussing how to defeat the massive army and, incidentally, teach the Great Chu a lesson they would never forget.
Tang Nian, standing outside the tent, listened to their outrageous remarks and simply smiled faintly.
These tricks wouldn't fool her or Lou Mu, and even Lin Zhenming wouldn't fall for them.
Immediately afterwards, I heard them talking about monsters.
Tang Nian's smile grew wider and wider, but there was no trace of joy in her eyes.
If she can come up with such a wicked trick, shouldn't she teach them a lesson they'll never forget?
Thinking of this, Tang Nian turned sideways and lifted the curtain.
The generals inside the tent never expected that someone would suddenly break into such a heavily guarded military camp. They were all stunned for a moment, but instinctively drew their swords.
But Tang Nian's speed was far beyond what these mortals could match.
Before they could even find Tang Nian, they saw her already standing behind the commander.
The general's sword had somehow ended up in Tang Nian's hands.
Tang Nian wrapped her arms around his neck, gripped the sword in one hand, and pressed the blade firmly against the general's throat.
The general swallowed hard, and the sword sliced through his neck, drawing out drops of blood.
Tang Nian didn't care about the blood on her hands. She stared at the restless generals in the military tent and sneered.
"Make the army retreat immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite."
The general was about to speak when his neck was slashed even deeper, and the stinging pain made him immediately afraid to speak.
"Young lady, let's talk this out."
One of the lieutenants stepped forward and, to show his sincerity, threw his sword on the ground.
Tang Nian glanced at the sword on the ground and said coldly, "I don't think we have anything to say to each other."
"Young lady, it is the Great Chu..."
"Who told you I came here for the Great Chu?" Tang Nian raised an eyebrow and asked arrogantly.
"this……"
The generals in the tent looked at each other, each seeing a hint of confusion in the other's eyes.
If not for the Great Chu, then for what?
Before the commander could make any more moves, Tang Nian didn't even look and kicked him hard in the leg.
"Do I need to repeat myself? If your massive army doesn't withdraw, you can forget about your life."
As she spoke, Tang Nian brought the sword closer to his neck.
The general turned ashen-faced with fright.
He didn't want to die at the hands of this woman instead of on the battlefield.
But if he really ordered the army to retreat, where would he put his face?
He gritted his teeth, filled with rage.
Just then, Tang Nian finished getting up, slammed his hand on the table, and the dagger on the table flew into the air.
Tang Nian grabbed the knife handle and tossed it away casually.
The dagger was aimed straight at the general in the corner.
The dagger sliced through his wrist guard, pierced the skin of his wrist, and then embedded itself in his back.
The general winced in pain, and the hidden weapon he had been holding fell to the ground with a clatter.
"Don't try any tricks with me. Just behave yourself. I don't intend to kill you, but..."
Tang Nian didn't finish her sentence, but everyone present already understood what she meant.
She could even detect a general who was blocked by so many people trying to make a move, and subdue him with a single strike.
Upon seeing this, the commander stopped worrying.
He gritted his teeth, waved his hand at the crowd behind him, and said, "Give the order to retreat."
After watching a general feign composure as he left the military tent, he finally looked up at Tang Nian.
He had done everything he could; surely this woman should let him go now.
But to his surprise, Tang Nian did not release the person.
“Very well, now we can talk about other things.”
Tang Nian, on the other hand, seemed quite content, her languid demeanor making the commander's teeth itch with envy.
But he dared not speak, for the sword was only a hair's breadth away from his throat.
He quickly signaled to his deputy with his eyes.
The lieutenant asked tremblingly, "Is there anything else, young lady?"
Tang Nian took out Ming Huan's portrait from her bosom with one hand and held it up: "Has anyone seen this person?"
Everyone in the tent mustered their courage and crowded forward.
You know, if this old lady were in a good mood and let go of their commander, they might even become their commander's benefactors.
However, they all shook their heads blankly.
Are you sure?
Tang Nian frowned, her tone quite unfriendly.
The general's back was covered in sweat.
You know, if this old lady were to have a mental breakdown, I would be the first one to die.
He turned his head to look at the portrait, leaned closer to Tang Nian, and shouted, "Tell me quickly! Have you seen this young master in the painting?"
