Chapter 385: Wars are rarely smooth sailing
When the second uncle went out, he took everyone else out as well. Unlike others, Liang Chongyue saw the deep thought in Yan Yang's eyes when he turned around, as if he had discovered some secret.
After Liang Chongyue noticed it, she stared at his back for a few seconds until he disappeared from her sight.
Liang Chongyue took a comfortable hot bath, and only after washing away all the stickiness on her body did she feel completely awake.
After taking a shower, Liang Chongyue just walked out of the tent and saw Ping An and Yan Yang waiting outside with food boxes:
"Miss, lunchtime has passed. The military advisor prepared this specially for you. He went back to the commander-in-chief and told you to eat well and take good care of yourself."
Liang Chongyue could already smell the fragrance of the food. She hadn't eaten for a long time and her stomach was feeling empty.
"Then let's eat first."
Liang Chongyue turned around and went back to the tent. After a while, Ping An put a series of sumptuous dishes on the table.
Although each dish was light, it was rich enough. Liang Chongyue picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth. The familiar taste immediately reminded her of the taste she had in Yiku Palace.
It can't be said that they are very similar, they are exactly the same. Liang Chongyue's expression did not change, and he did not praise much. He just quietly finished most of the dishes on the table.
She could already conclude that all the dishes on the table, including the stir-fried pork, were not made by her second uncle. She just didn't know whether the chef from the capital was sent to the border because her mother loved him or for other reasons.
Liang Chongyue couldn't go into it any further. If she went there, some things would be exposed.
Liang Chongyue finished her meal and was about to go out for a walk when she saw Yan Yang had been staring at her since she started eating. Even Ping An noticed his burning gaze.
Liang Chongyue just saw it but didn't want to pay attention. Yan Yang was not a fool, and perhaps he had guessed her identity. He didn't retreat, and she didn't ask any more questions.
"I'm going to go out for a walk. I'll leave this place to you."
Ping'an didn't notice him when he heard this, and lowered his head to start cleaning up the dishes used by the prince. When Liang Chongyue walked out of the tent, he found that Yan Yang had followed him out.
Liang Chongyue raised an eyebrow and looked at him. Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Liang Chongyue walked directly towards Doctor Qi's tent, wondering if the anti-inflammatory drugs she left behind before she fell into a coma would be enough.
When Liang Chongyue arrived at Doctor Qi's tent, he saw that the soldiers who had been treated for their injuries were in good condition. Doctor Qi and several medical officers were busy, so he didn't want to disturb them and went straight to the place where the anti-inflammatory drugs were stored.
The cabinet that had been empty before she fell unconscious was now filled with bottles of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Liang Chongyue was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had remembered it wrong, but then she saw the mahogany box next to the cabinet, on which there was a mark she had made to conceal her whereabouts. She then realized that the system must have put the anti-inflammatory drugs into this box and then asked someone to move them here.
After checking the anti-inflammatory drugs, Liang Chongyue helped treat several seriously injured soldiers before heading to the commander-in-chief's tent.
Yan Yang followed her as usual, wherever she went, he followed.
When Liang Chongyue arrived at the commander-in-chief's tent, before she even entered, she heard Lieutenant General Sun trying to calm a certain general. It seemed that the army had not been going smoothly during the few days when she was unconscious.
Liang Chongyue suddenly remembered that before she fell into a coma, the system told her that reinforcements had been sent from the northern border, and she didn't know where they were now.
"System, help me check where the reinforcements from the North are."
Liang Chongyue sent a message to the system, and after the guard reported, she lifted the door curtain and walked in. The people inside restrained themselves a little when they saw her coming. Even so, Liang Chongyue could still tell how intense the scene was from the way everyone was arguing with each other.
"What's wrong with you? Are you eating well?"
Second uncle handed a cup of hot tea to Liang Chongyue, who took a sip and said:
"It was just a minor problem. I'm fine now. Don't worry, uncle."
After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he turned his attention to Lieutenant General Sun, who was also an old subordinate following his uncle.
"What happened just now? Did the army's expedition go smoothly?"
Hearing her ask this, Lieutenant General Sun, who had been with the commander-in-chief for many years and had also met Her Royal Highness the Princess at the palace banquet, saw that neither the commander-in-chief nor the military advisor stopped him, so he gave her a general account of what was happening on the front line.
Liang Chongyue didn't expect that Yan Huai was really capable. The army fell into his trap twice and lost a lot of brave soldiers.
"As I say, since Dai Viet's border towns are still in our hands, we should just keep pressing them and fight until they run out of ammunition and food. I don't believe we can't defeat Dai Viet."
Liang Chongyue turned his gaze towards the general who had spoken. He was impulsive and quick-tempered, brave but not wise.
"If you drive a dog into a corner, it will inevitably backfire. If the troops of Dai Viet and the northern border rise up in resistance, even if we win in the end, it will be a bloody battle."
Liang Chongyue did not agree with this decision. More importantly, she knew that reinforcements from the North were on the way. If the reinforcements from the North arrived with food and supplies during the war between the two sides, it would be hard to say how long the battle would last.
Seeing that Her Royal Highness the Princess also refuted him, the outspoken general pursed his lips and fell silent.
Liang Chongyue suddenly thought of something and turned to look at his uncle:
"The Northern Territory has sent hundreds of thousands of troops this time, and most of them are already stationed outside the Dai Viet Imperial City."
"That's right. The Emperor of Dai Viet doesn't fully trust the North and doesn't dare to allow their large army into the city."
Liang Chongyue knew that there was no country in this world that could form an alliance with the North and was willing to fully trust each other. In the past, the North also used the tactic of reinforcement to annex three small countries at once, which led to the current North.
"In that case, their alliance is not solid. The more we rush to fight, the tighter the Great Yue will cling to the North. The North's purpose of sending troops here will be half achieved."
Liang Chongyue spoke in an unpleasant tone, giving everyone present time to think along with what she said.
"Daxia's army is no less powerful than any other. The traps they fell into recently are simply due to the fact that Daiyue and Langwa are easy to defend but difficult to attack. If they are willing to defend, then let them do so. Winter is approaching, and they can't afford to waste time."
After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he heard the sound of the system sending a message in his mind. Liang Chongyue clicked on the panel, calculated the distance, and saw that the reinforcements from the northern border would arrive at the border in ten days. He had a new plan in his mind.
