Chapter 502: Chapter 249: One Wrong Move, Total Defeat

Of course, he won’t be able to jump around for long.

This appearance is meant to give the protagonists a chance to shine, and conveniently sets the stage for their glorious victory over the Da Yu Country...

Thinking of this, Yun Wanqing suddenly recalled a more important matter.

[Ah, forgot to mention, after Prime Minister Han’s family was wiped out, the newly appointed Prime Minister is Mo Yuanhao’s man. Su Jian has voluntarily resigned from the court, leaving the position of Grand Commandant completely vacant.]

[Eldest brother, second brother, what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear this?]

As soon as she finished speaking, the voices of her two brothers rang out simultaneously.

"Killing two birds with one stone!"

"Hitting two targets with one arrow!"

Their coordination was truly perfect, making Yun Wanqing click her tongue.

[See, it’s not just me who thinks like this, my elder and second brother truly share the exact same views as I do.]

[Indeed, it is killing two birds with one stone, hitting two targets with one arrow.]

[I’ve thought it over and over, and it always seems to me that it’s as if someone harmed father and then deliberately framed Prime Minister Han...]

[This move not only eliminates two major power-holders simultaneously but also attaches the eternal disgrace of ’harming loyal officials’ to Prime Minister Han.]

[As for Su Jian managing to leave unscathed, it’s likely due to the influence of Su Qianxue.]

Having just arrived in this world, when first seeing Yun Zheng, Yun Wanqing also identified Prime Minister Han as the traitor and once called him a grand traitor.

Yet, having been in the midst of it for so long, she has developed a different view of the Da Wu Country’s situation, prompting her to begin questioning the accuracy of the plot.

[Of course, these are merely my speculations and do not mean that Prime Minister Han is entirely without suspicion.]

[All in all, until the situation is clear, everyone is an enemy, everyone is under suspicion, and elder and second brother must remain extra cautious and not let their guard down!]

One careless move could result in complete defeat.

They can’t afford to lose, so Yun Wanqing dares not gamble, trust the plot, or her own speculation, maintaining absolute vigilance against any possibility.

That night, the three siblings did not close their eyes for even a moment.

The first half of the night was spent analyzing the situation, while also administering medicine to the unconscious Lady Yun.

The second half of the night, Yun Wanqing directed her two brothers in urgently crafting a batch of simple but effective hemostatic and anti-inflammatory medicines.

The time was tight, and the medicine produced was very scarce, only about a dozen portions, but it’s better than nothing.

[Eldest brother, these powders may seem simple but are quite effective. Keep them spare, there’s not much, try to save some for you and father.]

These two medicines can save lives on the battlefield at critical times.

Yun Wanqing of course also sympathizes with other soldiers, but by comparison, she is more concerned about Yun Zheng and Yun Wanchen.

[I will teach second brother to create many more effective medicines and get them to you as soon as possible.]

[Moreover, that Mo Yuanhao is cunning and often doesn’t play by the rules, elder brother and father must be extra careful, don’t fall into his trap...]

Yun Wanqing, lying in Yun Wanchen’s arms and clutching his clothes, detailed every little thing, including explaining Yun Zheng’s strategy to counter Mo Yuanhao’s schemes.

Although in the plot, Yun Zheng had always gained the upper hand against Mo Yuanhao in their several confrontations, that was supposed to happen a year later, affected by the plot’s collapse, both the timeline and border situation have drastically changed.

Therefore, she worries Yun Zheng’s decisions may differ from the plot, causing unforeseen changes in the battle.

Or, maybe some mysterious force will intervene, forcing an unexpected event, leading Da Wu Country onto the plot where Mo Yuanhao takes two cities consecutively.

[Eldest brother, in the plot, father used cavalry to restrain Mo Yuanhao...]

[The essence of cavalry is: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy halts, we disturb; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.]

[Following the principles of choosing the right battlefield, swiftly deploying troops, wisely allocating resources, selecting a timely engagement, and quickly withdrawing after battle...]

Beidi can be so arrogant because, besides relying on Mo Yuanhao, an outstanding military leader, this people is naturally adept at riding and shooting. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Everyone seems to be a born cavalryman.

With the cavalry’s speed, broad vision, mobility, and strong striking power, they can fight when they win and run when they lose, absolutely no one can stop them or outrun them, somewhat like the guerrilla forces during the war.

Compared to the cumbersome land forces of this world, they have an absolute advantage.

After Yun Zheng was sent to Sui City to handle Pei Yu’s mess, he didn’t rush into action; instead, he defended and trained the troops, while closely observing Beidi’s army in secret.

Having fought on the sands for many years, he has the sharp insight of a hawk and quickly saw through Mo Yuanhao’s tactics.

Use the enemy’s strengths against them!

Thus a thought emerged from his mind, he swiftly selected two thousand elite soldiers from the batch of new recruits intentionally given to him, exhausting all resources to form a cavalry unit for intense training day and night.

Months later, the offensive and defensive roles completely reversed.

Striking unexpectedly, attacking unprepared.

The cavalry bypassed Beidi’s army, deeply penetrated their base, easily decimating two tribes, cutting off Mo Yuanhao’s supply lines, seizing vast resources, and swiftly retreating after killing numerous enemies.

By the time Duo Chen He Li received the message and brought his men to encircle, our cavalry had long vanished.

This was the first significant loss Beidi suffered in a year of warfare, which greatly boosted our morale and gave us the courage to take the initiative.

"Who would have thought, little sister is so proficient in military strategy as well. If our father heard this, he would surely be greatly inspired."

Hearing those words, the brothers felt a tremor in their souls, receiving a powerful impact, their hearts filled with immense shock, followed by a sudden enlightenment.

Their minds involuntarily conjured up one after another, astonishingly brilliant tactics, repeatedly deducing them back and forth.

Having read three hundred volumes of military books, it was their first time hearing such a simple yet almost unsolvable tactic, and anyone with basic knowledge of strategy could understand the immense value contained in those few words.

After a long while, Yun Wanchen came back to his senses, suppressed the shock in his heart, and sincerely sighed.

Yun Wanye nodded, saying, "Big brother is right, little sister, did you think of that cavalry essence? Or has it appeared in the plot?"

If it was little sister who thought of it herself, she is definitely worthy of the title ’Military God’.

But if it appeared in the plot, then the creator of this world is absolutely beyond imagination.

[Of course not.]

Yun Wanqing repeatedly shook her head, denying, not daring to claim the achievements of her predecessors.

[Although I’m quite skilled in some fields, this cavalry essence was not my creation.]

[This cavalry essence is actually called the Guerrilla Code, distilled by a few great figures in my world through firsthand experience in warfare.]

[Though I’m not sure exactly who proposed it, it first appeared in the selected works of our world’s great leader.]

[Yes, the leader of our world was a very outstanding strategist, thinker, writer, and politician...]

Mentioning this leader, Yun Wanqing’s admiration overflowed like the raging rivers, unable to be restrained.

The more patriotic and erudite, the more extraordinary in thought, the more one could understand how great this leader truly was.

This is someone who crushed the myths of Western dominance multiple times.

[Time is tight today, so I won’t go too much into it. When there is time, I must tell you, big brother and second brother, about those great figures and their magnificent achievements.]

Supporting the collapsing edifice, stemming the tide at its breaking point.

They used the most outdated weapons, under various hardships, to win the invasion war of dimensional reduction, saving a people on the brink of extinction, building a new homeland where everyone could eat their fill and clothe themselves.

As a top prodigy in the Cultivation World, Yun Wanqing inherently had a bit of arrogance.

In her past life, she wasn’t in awe of heaven or earth, never submitted to anyone in the Cultivation World, except for those heroes who forged the backbone of the nation in the flames of war.

It was the first time seeing her so intensely emotional when mentioning someone, which sparked a strong and profound interest in the brothers in that leader.

But as she said, time was tight, Yun Wanchen was eager to hit the road, and it was not a good time for a chat, so the two could only suppress their curiosity.

Yun Wanye held Yun Wanqing, sending Yun Wanchen outside.

In the courtyard, Cang Yan, carrying bags and holding a curved sword in his arms, patiently waited under the tree.

Earlier that night, when Yun Wanchen decided to go to Dingbei Pass, he took time to arrange for him to pack at Lan Yue Pavilion and place Su Qianyue in a house outside.

During this time, he wouldn’t be at home, and with his return indefinite, he certainly couldn’t continue to place her in the Yun Family.

This departure from home, he might not return intact, and he couldn’t delay her.

[Big brother, you must be extremely careful, remember to write back every week, if we don’t receive your letters, second brother and I will go to Dingbei Pass to find you.]

Having said this earlier, but on the verge of parting, Yun Wanqing couldn’t help but repeat it, looking at him unwillingly.

It was clearly her big brother, yet in this scene, she felt as if she were sending her son to the battlefield.

"Mm, big brother will."

Yun Wanchen kissed her forehead, then stood up, placing his hand gently on Yun Wanye’s shoulder.

"Ye’er, take care of mother and the girls at home while I’m away, and take care of yourself as well... also, when you have time, keep an eye on her for me."

Saying this, he paused, his voice sounding somewhat embarrassed.

The brothers were extraordinarily in sync, Yun Wanye instantly understood who their big brother meant by ’her’.

Ugh!

He chuckled in his heart, raising an eyebrow with a teasing expression, "Mm, don’t worry big brother, I will."

[Wait, what are you two talking in riddles about?]

[Who to keep an eye on?]

[Big brother, are you hiding something from me?]

Yun Wanqing looked up, confused and curious, at Yun Wanchen.

"Ahem."

Yun Wanchen cleared his throat, answering irrelevantly, "Little sister, big brother has to set off now, farewell."

With that, not waiting for Yun Wanqing to reply, he quickly left with Cang Yan.
