Earlier, during the military council in the central army tent.

Lin Wanshan followed behind the supreme commander.

Although his rank as a garrison officer was too low to enter the central tent.

He still caught a glimpse of the Lady Marquis's appearance from afar.

And wasn't the person on the ground rubbing their forehead none other than the Dragon Marquis, who had been sitting upright in the central tent?

However, Lin Wanshan didn't recognize the woman beside the Marquis.

Hearing that this was the Dragon Marquis.

Inside the tent, there was a rustling of armor as Lin Wanshan's subordinates, including Li Yuan, hurriedly knelt on one knee to pay their respects.

This Dragon Marquis was the commander of the Great Liang's thirty thousand troops.

At this moment, the Dragon Marquis, Bai Jing, felt extremely embarrassed.

Earlier, the Lady Marquis and her younger sister had been eavesdropping outside the tent on Captain Li Yuan's plan.

When they heard Li Yuan's plan to lure the Tiele people with soft bows and light arrows, then hunt them down with a dense rain of arrows.

Both of them clapped their hands in admiration.

In their excitement, they forgot they were eavesdropping outside someone else's tent.

Bai Yuxuan, the younger sister, tripped over the rope tying the tent.

She fell, dragging the Lady Marquis, who was trying to support her, down with her.

Because they had their heads close to the tent wall while eavesdropping, their center of gravity was inward.

When they fell, they crashed through the tent curtain and tumbled inside.

Seeing the captains inside the tent paying their respects.

"Which one of you is Captain Li Yuan?"

When Li Yuan heard that the Dragon Marquis was looking for him.

He quickly stood up and bowed to the Lady Marquis.

"This humble officer, Li Yuan, greets the Dragon Marquis."

Bai Jing raised her head and looked forward.

She saw a young captain standing up from the crowd.

The Lady Marquis's eyes lit up when she saw him.

She didn't expect to find such a handsome man in the Great Liang army.

This Captain Li Yuan was eight feet tall, with a fit and well-proportioned physique.

His facial features were heroic and exceptionally handsome.

He wore a short suit of armor made of refined iron, with a long saber hanging at his waist, and his temperament was even more valiant.

Li Yuan's figure, appearance, and temperament all struck a chord in the Dragon Marquis's heart.

The Lady Marquis secretly nodded to herself, what a handsome young man.

She turned her head slightly and noticed that her younger sister, Bai Yuxuan, was also looking at Li Yuan with a gleam in her eyes.

Her sister was clearly also interested in this handsome captain.

It was the first time the Lady Marquis had seen her sister show such interest in a man.

But then, the Dragon Marquis shook her head.

She pushed the distracting thoughts out of her mind.

They were on the front lines, with the Tiele people just across the river.

It was important to focus on the matter at hand.

The Lady Marquis first steadied her mind and asked Li Yuan in the tone of a superior.

"Captain Li, the plan you mentioned earlier was brilliant. Are you from a family of strategists?"

The Dragon Marquis, Bai Jing, thought Li Yuan must be from a military family, given his outstanding performance.

Li Yuan quickly bowed and replied.

"Reporting to the Dragon Marquis, this humble officer is not from a family of strategists."

"But when I was young, a strange person saw that I had good aptitude and taught me martial arts and thirteen chapters on military strategy."

In this era, many things couldn't be verified.

Li Yuan decided to fabricate a story to give his abilities a source.

The Dragon Marquis didn't delve into the details of Li Yuan's words but nodded.

The Dragon Marquis didn't care whether Li Yuan was from a family of strategists or had been taught by a master.

What mattered most was that he could help her now.

So, after a moment's thought, the Lady Marquis said to Li Yuan.

"Captain Li, your wisdom and strategy are exceptional. I'm transferring you to the central army as a military adjutant to advise on military affairs."

"Li Yuan, are you willing?"

The Dragon Marquis wanted to bring Li Yuan directly to her side as her advisor.

This was equivalent to a meteoric rise in the Great Liang army.

Li Yuan was, of course, willing.

He was being promoted from an ordinary fortress captain to a military adjutant attached to the central army.

Although this so-called military adjutant was only a temporary position appointed by the Dragon Marquis.

The position would be directly revoked when the army was disbanded.

But at this moment in the Great Liang army, the identity of this military adjutant was extremely powerful.

Not only could he influence the Dragon Marquis's decisions, but he also had the right to deploy some troops.

If he could really make contributions as a military adjutant.

The Dragon Marquis would definitely recommend him for further advancement.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan straightened his robe, stepped forward, and bowed.

"This humble officer, Li Yuan, is at the Dragon Marquis's disposal."

Bai Jing nodded with great satisfaction.

"Then, Captain Li, come with me."

Li Yuan first clasped his fist with the somewhat dazed Garrison Commander Lin, meaning that his superior had transferred him, and he couldn't refuse.

Lin Wanshan also reacted and nodded to Li Yuan.

He meant that he understood, and he should follow the Dragon Marquis closely and not make any mistakes.

Looking at Li Yuan's departing figure as he followed the Dragon Marquis, everyone in the tent felt as if they were in a dream.

Soon after, seeing the Dragon Marquis go far away, some captains began to discuss.

Li Yuan's luck was too heaven-defying.

He had only come up with a few plans, and he was favored by the Marquis who happened to pass by, and was taken away to become a military adjutant.

It had only been a few days since he was promoted from a squad leader to a captain.

This speed of promotion was simply too enviable.

Not to mention the discussions in the camp.

The Dragon Marquis, Bai Jing, was in a very good mood after returning to the central army.

She had obtained several battle tactics from Li Yuan, and she felt somewhat more confident.

The Dragon Marquis immediately issued three military orders in a row.

The first military order was for the entire army to dig long trenches on the beach on the south bank of the Chishui River.

The long trenches were to be dug in a crisscross pattern, turning the beach, which was suitable for horses to gallop, into an obstacle course with ravines.

The second military order was to order the military households of each army to build arrow-proof wooden rafts and shields, and whoever built them would use them, without delay.

The third military order was to select archers from the entire army.

Among the five thousand Dragon骧 army, there were one thousand archers, and there were actually quite a few good shooters among the military households.

A total of more than four thousand five hundred archers were selected from the entire army of thirty thousand.

These archers were formed into an independent army, all deployed behind the wooden fences of the front army to await orders, and only listened to the orders of the central army.

After the entire army received the Dragon Marquis's orders.

The generals all looked bewildered.

They could see during the military council in the central army tent that the Dragon Marquis clearly didn't have any strategies.

But in just a few hours, the Lady Marquis immediately issued three very clear military orders.

This was obviously a strategy to defeat the enemy.

Although the generals were confused, military orders were like mountains, and they all acted according to the orders.

Digging long trenches was not difficult. Most of the military households were farmers who dealt with soil every day.

Although it was not reliable to let them form formations and fight the Tiele cavalry.

But they were very good at doing this kind of digging work.

Moreover, the Dragon Marquis gave each military household participating in the digging a catty of millet as a reward to encourage them.

For a time, the beach was bustling with people, and everywhere was the sound of iron shovels digging sand and soil.

The movement on the south bank also made the Tiele people on the other side of the river very puzzled.

The two sides were about to fight, did these Great Liang people have problems with their brains.

What were they busy with on the beach for no reason.

The Tiele commander, Sangdu, heard that there was a disturbance on the opposite bank, so he rode his horse to a high place to observe the enemy situation.

Seeing the chaotic scene on the opposite bank, he was also a little puzzled.

The two ten-thousand commanders beside him advised.

"Great Commander, there is no need to pay attention to them. It is a good thing for us that the Liang commander does not know how to save the strength of the soldiers."

"We will definitely be able to break through the mountain pass in one battle tomorrow."

Sangdu thought about it and nodded.

"Then issue an order to let the warriors rest well today, and tomorrow we will break through the mountain pass in one fell swoop."

"Great Liang has endless wealth, slaves, and women."

"As long as we defeat the Liang army in front of us and rush into the hinterland of Great Liang, the army can plunder at will!"

"Tell the warriors that as long as they can break through the mountain pass tomorrow."

"The army can plunder in the Liang country for three days!"

"Wealth, slaves, women, let them grab whatever they want!"

Commander Sangdu's military order was quickly passed down.

In an instant, countless black-armored cavalrymen under the hillside drew out their scimitars and shouted to the sky.

"Kill across the Chishui River! Plunder for three days! Tiele is invincible!"

Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the momentum shook the mountains and rivers.

Looking at the cheers like a tsunami on the opposite bank.

The Great Liang military households digging trenches on the river beach could only look up in fear.

At this time, in the central army tent.

The Dragon Marquis, Bai Jing, sat in the center, with her younger sister, Bai Yuxuan, standing beside her.

Opposite them was Li Yuan, who was given a chair, which was rare.

The Lady Marquis looked in the direction of the opposite bank, listening to the cheers of the Tiele people, and her thoughts were uneasy.

The Tiele soldiers and horses gave her pressure as heavy as a mountain.

She couldn't help but glance again at Li Yuan, the military adjutant she had just promoted.

She asked softly.

"Tomorrow we will face the enemy, Captain Li, do you have any good strategies?"
