Chapter 386 Little Bitter Cake
"As long as we can break up their alliance, Dai Viet will naturally fall without a fight."
Xiang Huating looked at Chongyue's confident eyes and realized that she already had an idea in her mind. With a few words, he asked all the generals in the tent to leave.
Liang Chongyue stood in front of the sand table, watching the new marks that appeared on the sand table during the time she was unconscious. Her uncle specially marked the places where the army fell into the trap.
Liang Chongyue used the panel to call out a 100% realistic topographic map and carefully compared it with the two locations where the army fell into a trap.
"Does Chongyue have a new idea?"
Liang Chongyue was still comparing the topographic map, trying to find a way to escape after the army fell into the trap.
Only by finding a solution can we truly prevent such incidents from happening again.
Moreover, there are many such terrains at the border, and the army cannot avoid them by escaping every time.
"Second Uncle, can you tell Chongyue why the army fell into the trap twice and what happened at the time?"
Xiang Huating didn't expect Chongyue was still thinking about this matter at this time. Although she and her elder brother had already thought of a solution, Chongyue was taught personally by His Majesty after all, so he also wanted to hear if Chongyue had any better ideas.
"sure......"
A panel was spread out in front of him, with a sand table on one side and the voice of his second uncle describing the entire process of the army falling into the trap in his ears.
Based on his second uncle's description and the terrain conditions, Liang Chongyue had already formed a picture in his mind and quickly found a solution to the two times the army fell into a trap.
Liang Chongyue pointed to the two marked locations on the sand table and said to his two uncles:
"The terrain of these two places is not uncommon at the border. I have a plan that may greatly reduce the casualties of the army in the event of a similar situation."
Liang Chongyue pointed at the terrain with her finger. She was looking at the 3D image on the panel, which was more intuitive and clear.
Liang Chongyue briefly explained her thoughts to her two uncles. The terrain was unavoidable, and she had no way to have the best of both worlds. She could only try her best to preserve the lives and safety of the soldiers under the same premise.
Xiang Huayan and Xiang Huating stood beside Chongyue and listened to her methods. Both of them were good at deploying troops, so they knew what she was doing as soon as Chongyue said it.
"What a great plan! Father is truly far-sighted. Chongyue should never be trapped in the palace."
Liang Chongyue took a sip of tea. She liked to review things. Only by reviewing them could she know where her problems were and how to better solve and improve them.
Liang Chongyue was thinking about how to inform his two uncles about the reinforcement of troops in the northern border. He was afraid that mentioning it rashly would arouse suspicion.
"What is Chongyue thinking?"
Liang Chongyue was still thinking about how to start when her second uncle set up the ladder for her. Liang Chongyue quickly took the opportunity to tell him everything she was thinking and worried about.
After she finished speaking, she saw that both uncles looked unhappy, so she knew they had heard her.
"This time, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory is Yan Huai, the old emperor's biological son. I heard that he looks a lot like the old emperor when he was young. This is his first time leading an army, so we don't know his style of operation."
Liang Chongyue looked at his second uncle who spoke, and remembered the evaluation of Yan Huai in the information. He was indeed quite similar to the old emperor.
"His style of conduct is similar to that of the old emperor when he was young. I heard that he has always been by the old emperor's side. People always unconsciously learn from others, and I believe he is no exception."
As she grew up, Liang Chongyue often saw the shadow of her scumbag father in herself. Even her mother said that she was becoming more and more like her scumbag father.
"We unexpectedly gained the upper hand regarding the food supply. We are waiting for the day when their food supplies run out. They will surely be even more anxious than we are, so they will naturally want to resolve this matter quickly."
Liang Chongyue immediately made marks on the sand table. This time, based on the current intelligence, the Northern Territory changed a route and wanted to send reinforcements and food supplies at the same time.
Sometimes it doesn't matter how deep the plan is, as long as it is useful.
"My suggestion is to station guards along the route that the northern troops must take to head west. If we discover any new developments, we can send a message via eagle, and we can make plans early."
After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, all her current urgent matters were resolved. The small cakes from her uncle seemed to have changed their taste today. They were no longer white, and there was a little green on them. Liang Chongyue picked up a piece and tasted it.
The taste is average, not as good as the previous white cakes.
Xiang Huayan and Xiang Huating looked at each other, and both saw the same expression in each other's eyes.
After the two of them carefully pondered the place where Chongyue had marked, they turned to look at Chongyue and happened to see Chongyue struggling to swallow the small cake with bitter herbs kneaded into it.
"If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it. It contains bitter herbs, which can reduce internal heat."
Liang Chongyue looked at the pancake that he had already bitten half of. He thought that no one would eat it if he put it down, and it would be a waste, so he stuffed the whole thing into his mouth.
After finally bringing it down with tea, Liang Chongyue pushed the bitter cake away. She felt an unbearable bitterness in her mouth if she looked at it for any longer.
Seeing Chongyue having difficulty eating, Xiang Huating poured her another cup of tea with concern so that she could quickly get rid of the bitter taste in her mouth.
Liang Chongyue has never liked hardship since he was a child. The taste in his mouth finally faded a little. Liang Chongyue took a deep breath and finally recovered.
"That chef sent from the palace won't have to cook just for me anymore. As for the meat, have him make more stews to improve the soldiers' meals. If he can't handle it all by himself, have him teach the others. With a war on our hands, I'm not that spoiled."
Xiang Huating didn't expect Chongyue to point out the matter of the kitchen directly. She said so, it was all for the soldiers on the border, and he couldn't open his mouth to say anything else.
As for Your Majesty, since Your Majesty could predict that Chongyue would come to the border, he should also be able to guess that Chongyue would do this.
"Okay, uncle will make the arrangements."
After hearing what her second uncle said, Liang Chongyue didn't want to stay here for a moment, for fear that she would accidentally touch some bitter food and suffer.
Liang Chongyue walked out of the commander's tent and saw the system, covered in dust, standing next to Yan Yang. The man and the dog were staring at each other, and they didn't even notice her approaching.
Liang Chongyue patted the dust off the system's head. When the system turned around to face the host, the corners of its mouth were almost stretched to its ears.
"Host, I have already found all the herbs needed to obtain the Fire Jade for you. As long as we find a safe place, we can take out the Fire Jade at any time."
After the system finished speaking, it leaned towards Liang Chongyue:
"This kid seems to have discovered your identity. He was still talking about you just now. Host, you have to be careful."
Liang Chongyue looked down at the system, which was staring at Yan Yang with a vigilant look. It seemed that the system had improved a lot during the time she was unconscious.
