As expected, as Qiao Xi expected, within a few days, the imperial edict for Qi Anze to visit the border soldiers came down.

…

border,

In the yellow sand of the desert, a group of armored soldiers looked neatly at the stage.

The faces of the soldiers were full of the vicissitudes of being stationed at the border all year round and the excitement of being taken seriously.

"Last general, Yu Chifeng meets His Highness the Crown Prince."

"See His Majesty the Crown Prince." The voices of the soldiers in the training ground resounded through the sky.

Qi Anze said some morale-boosting words and returned to the tent.

…

"General Yuchi, has there been any action in Xilong recently?"

General Yuchi cupped his hands and said,

"There were many intruders before, but they were mostly minor frictions. We were already prepared for a big war, but the other side seemed to have withdrawn its troops, and there was no movement at all."

"Where were they moving before?"

"Here, Linzhong is where they have been active. Linzhong is also our border fortress, and they have never gotten any advantage. There are also places such as Hunan and Hubei."

Looking at the sand table in front of the general, Qi Anze asked seriously,

"What do you think is the reason why they haven't attacked recently?"

"Maybe winter will come soon. The people in Xilong are not very good at fighting in winter. They don't have cavalry. Once it snows heavily, the troops in combat will be like turtles in the urn."

The man raised his eyebrows when he heard this explanation and asked suspiciously, "Will there be a winter truce in previous years?"

General Yuchi hesitated for a moment and replied, "I did before, but...they changed their leader this year."

The matter was probably clear. Qi Anze nodded,

"Let's get here first today,"

…

After everyone went out, Qi Anze spread the battle map on the bed.

"What do you think?"

Qiao Xi, who was wearing combat uniform, was admiring his tiger skin cloak. Suddenly he heard him speak, moved to his side, thought for a moment and said,

"I don't know how to lead troops to fight, but they changed their generals and we have a natural disaster of food. If they want to fight in winter, will we not be able to supply food?"

"more than."

The man's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the candlelight reflected on his face, like a piece of fine Hetian jade, warm and translucent. Qiao Xi couldn't help but be a little stunned when he looked at it.

"Not only is he unable to provide food, he is also waiting for a heavy snowfall. As long as he guides us to the middle position, we can take action. Because it doesn't snow there."

Qi Anze was waiting for her to continue but found that she was peeking at him, and couldn't help but cough lightly.

Qiao Xi: "..." Beauty is misleading!

"Then why don't we just stay here and not go out when we fall? This way, they won't dare to attack."

In the original text, the reason why Qi Anze fell into those traps was because he didn't know about the food and grass matters. Another reason was that he wanted to use this war to open the door to Xilong and reverse the situation of being led by others.

So he chose to take the initiative.

"They can take advantage of the snow to lure us to the middle area, and so can we. Anyway, we have solved the food and grass issue now, and we can kill them in the middle area even if it is a waste." Qi Anze immediately said fiercely.

Came out.

[Blackening value 300]

Qiao Xi opened his mouth when he heard the prompt tone, not knowing whether to persuade him not to start a war or to agree to start a war.

If there is no war, the people will always be bullied, and if there is a war, the people will be displaced.

It seems that no matter what you choose, there is no correct answer.

——

With the beginning of Qi Anze's plan, the other party seemed to really believe that there was a shortage of food and grass here, and kept coming to provoke him.

Looking at the snow outside that had started falling since last night and was not stopping now, Qiao Xi knew that the weather Qi Anze had been waiting for had arrived.

The only thing she can do now is to prepare more delicious food that falls into the trap.

"Miss Qiao, what are you doing?" General Yuchi asked in confusion when he saw her behavior.

"Well, I've been physically exhausted lately, so I'll prepare some food for emergencies."

The general looked at the girl who had gained a lot of weight when she came to the border to eat, and whispered, "What kind of physical exertion can you do if you stay in the camp all the time?"

"Are you ready?"

Seeing the prince coming in from outside the account and the rumors in the army during this period, General Yuchi nodded in sudden realization.

Although there are no female dependents in the army, everyone still agrees that His Highness the Crown Prince is taking care of female dependents. After all, the Crown Prince is different from these rough and tumble men.

Qi Anze glanced at her backpack, nodded, and said to General Yuchi,

"General, today is the best time. Please ask the general to inform the soldiers to set off in an hour."

He was afraid that the news would leak out, so he didn't come up with his plan until this moment. General Yuchi originally wanted to say that when the snow stopped and the weather got colder, he was amazed after seeing his plan.

"His Royal Highness is indeed a genius. I didn't even expect this."

Attacking when it snows will not only prevent the opponent's archers, but also reduce their fire attack capabilities. On the contrary, the cavalry you have been training can work wonders.

"However, I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to sit in the army, and General Mo will lead the cavalry in a sneak attack."

As Qiao Xi expected, how could General Yuchi dare to let the prince lead troops into battle to kill the enemy, so he immediately denied the matter.

Unexpectedly, the deputy general next to him, General Sun, agreed.

"General Yuchi's words are wrong. The general thinks that His Highness the Crown Prince's plan is very correct. General Mo will lead a feint attack from the front, and His Highness will attack from the side. If it fails, you can retreat directly here."

General Sun pointed at the sand table and said, "When the time comes, General Yuchi will leave a group of people to respond, and the remaining people will attack directly."

This man said he agreed, but behind his words he looked down on Qi Anze, the military governor from the capital who could only talk on paper.

Qi Anze didn't make any fuss after hearing this, and respectfully clasped his fists at General Sun, "Then I'll leave it to General Sun."

General Sun returned the salute awkwardly, then made an excuse and went out.

Yuchi still wanted to persuade him, but Qi Anze walked out of the tent before him and directly announced the military order.

He couldn't reject Qi Anze's words in front of so many soldiers, so he had to personally select a group of the best cavalry to follow him. He said he was following him, but in fact he gave an order to protect him.

The group of people disguised themselves as a caravan from Dongjun Country and mingled with the crowd.

Looking at the team that was gradually divided into several parts, Qiao Xi nodded to Qi Anze.

As she expected, the two of them were discovered by Xilong soldiers very quickly, and they were pressed into the woods step by step.

Looking at the bare trees, Qiao Xi shook the baggage in his hand. This was the trap that Qi Anze fell into in the original text. He was trapped in it for half a month, holding on by chewing tree bark until General Yuchi came to rescue him.

She originally thought about finding a place to hang out for a month after entering the city, but hearing the footsteps approaching behind her, she had no choice but to minimize the damage.
