The soldiers quickly divided the work and took action on their own, and the entire camp operated in an orderly manner.
The atmosphere in the conference room was a little solemn. After briefly arranging the tasks, Ying Yuan fell into a brief period of contemplation.
After a moment, he looked at everyone and began to share his deep thoughts:
"Consolidating the gains is not only the key now, but also the foundation for future battles. We must ensure the security of the new strategic positions."
His voice was not loud, but every word he spoke was sonorous and powerful.
Everyone looked at each other and exchanged firm glances, knowing that the leader's foresight and correct analysis would be the best guarantee for their next victory.
Ying Yuan's words successfully inspired everyone present. Everyone nodded in agreement. Applause rang out at this moment, rippling across the entire mountain.
After Ying Yuan explained all the strategic deployments, he walked out of the tent and decided to inspect the camp personally.
He walked with firm steps along the way, and the soldiers beside him saluted him one after another. Ying Yuan nodded slightly, his face calm and full of confidence.
As he walked along, he noticed that several young soldiers looked a little excited and their hands moved a little flustered when they were counting the spoils.
He paused slightly, walked forward, and said in a calm but dignified tone:
"Everyone, work is important, but you need to be careful. Every detail can be crucial."
When the young soldiers saw the commander giving them personal instructions, they all had awe on their faces. They quickly slowed down their actions and carefully checked each item.
At the same time, the imprisoned enemy general was sent to a temporary cell.
Faced with the sudden silence, a trace of helplessness and regret flashed in the enemy's eyes.
He leaned against the wall, recalling Ying Yuan's demeanor just now, and couldn't help but feel a complicated respect in his heart.
“Maybe there is something extraordinary about him.”
The enemy general muttered to himself, falling deeper into thought.
Ying Yuan continued to patrol towards the edge of the camp. An old deputy general with a white beard came forward and walked side by side with him. The two discussed the battle situation from time to time.
The old deputy general sighed:
"Ying Shuai, you are extremely thoughtful, especially in terms of preparing for a rainy day, which is rare."
Ying Yuan smiled modestly:
"This is what I should do, but your experience is also valuable."
The old lieutenant nodded.
"We cannot relax our logistics support. A protracted war still requires stable supplies."
Hearing this, Ying Yuan seemed to be thinking about something and said that he would immediately adjust the supply plan to ensure that there would be no worries in the rear.
At this moment, a scout came running over and reported nervously:
"We have detected new enemy movements. They seem to be regrouping and strengthening their defenses."
Ying Yuan frowned slightly and immediately called together the core generals for discussion.
Inside the tent, a map was spread out in the middle, with several generals sitting around it.
Ying Yuan pointed to the direction where the enemy troops were gathering and analyzed calmly:
"It seems that they are unwilling to accept defeat and want to reverse the situation. We must speed up and take the initiative. What do you think?"
After a heated discussion, everyone unanimously decided to temporarily consolidate the current defense and formulate a new offensive plan to expand the results of the battle. Ying Yuan agreed with everyone's opinion and decisively made the decision:
"According to this plan, take action immediately!"
As the night deepened, the entire camp was immersed in a busy and tense atmosphere.
Ying Yuan stood in front of the command tent, looking around at everything, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
He knew that the crucial moment that would decide victory or defeat was approaching, and any slight mistake could lead to disastrous consequences.
"Everyone, please note that the action plan has been issued."
Ying Yuan's voice echoed in the empty command tent, revealing unquestionable majesty.
The old lieutenant nodded silently and looked at the young commander with approval, feeling a sense of pride.
"General Ying, the soldiers on the front line are ready to go and are ready to execute your orders at any time."
A general said, and there was a hint of anticipation in his voice.
"very good."
Ying Yuan replied calmly, then he returned his gaze to the map, pointed at a few marks, and explained in detail to everyone:
"Tomorrow morning, our elite troops will launch feint attacks here and here to attract the enemy's attention. And this is our real breakthrough point."
The old deputy general raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Your decision to break through from the flank is a risky move." "Yes, but we need to take some risks."
Ying Yuan said firmly,
"Although the enemy's defense is strong, as long as we can find a small breakthrough, we can break through it in one fell swoop."
At the same time, in the temporary cell, the imprisoned enemy general still could not sleep.
He realized that time was running out.
Through the dim light, he stared at the iron bars, secretly pondering the possibility of escape.
"I must find an opportunity. Only by sending out the intelligence can I have a chance of survival."
The enemy general thought to himself.
At this time, a young jailer came over and brought him some food.
"Hey, come here for a moment."
The enemy general lowered his voice and signaled to the jailer.
The jailer approached suspiciously, looked around and whispered:
"What's the matter?"
"I have a little secret that I think will interest you."
The enemy general looked calm and said tentatively,
"As long as you help me pass on a message, all the benefits will be yours when you return."
The jailer looked hesitant, but was obviously moved.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Just take the message I wrote down to the spies outside the city."
The enemy will continue to incite,
"Once you're done, you'll have nothing to worry about in the future."
All this happened quietly, and Ying Yuan was completely unaware of the possible leak.
However, he felt a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart.
In the command tent, he continued to discuss strategies with several trusted generals, carefully assessing the risks of each action.
As the two sides compete with each other in wits and courage, new strategies are deployed and the dawn of war is approaching again.
"Ying Shuai, our biggest challenge is to prevent the enemy from discovering our intentions."
One general expressed concern.
"That's right, so we must act with extreme caution."
Ying Yuan stared at everyone and said firmly,
"Get ready for tomorrow's battle, taking all possible variables into consideration. Remember, only by being impeccable can you defeat the enemy."
As the night deepened, the jailer's heart began to beat wildly and his palms became slightly damp.
He slowly walked to his little room, closed the door, and took out the crumpled piece of paper.
He imagined the obscure handwriting on the note was like a winding snake, bringing tempting promises but also hiding endless dangers.
"Do you really want to do this?"
The jailer asked himself, all the benefits the enemy general had just promised him flashing through his mind.
That rich future seems to be just around the corner, as if it can be realized just by reaching out and touching it.
He swallowed nervously and stuffed the note into the inner pocket of his clothes with shaking hands. (End of this chapter)
