The next day, Jiang Li sent away Lu Zhan, and Qingguo also sent away his own princess Qin Xiang.

Jiang Li calculated the time. In twenty days, Liang would launch a war. She didn't have much time left.

However, while she was still busy making various plans to meet the enemy, an accident suddenly happened.

On the night after Lu Zhan left, Jiang Li slept until midnight when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside, accompanied by drumming and shouting.

Jiang Li woke up suddenly and finally vaguely heard what was being shouted outside.

"Enemy attack, there is an enemy attack!"

Jiang Li's head suddenly buzzed, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Enemy attack? Why is there an enemy attack today?

She eagerly asked System No. 007, "What on earth is going on? Is this part of the original plot included?"

System No. 007 was also confused, "No...no! I don't know what's going on."

"Don't worry, because many things have indeed changed during your time travel, and it's not impossible that the other party will suddenly change their mind..."

Jiang Li frowned, "If the other party doesn't know my plan, there won't be any accident that will suddenly cause the other party to change the time of launching the war."

"Unless... someone leaks the secret."

The moment these words were spoken, Jiang Li's heart suddenly fell to the bottom.

Although she had been making various preparations, she actually did a pretty good job of keeping it a secret.

At least most people didn't know that she was preparing for a battle with Liang Guo. They only thought that Yang Jin was transferring power by handing over the military training to her.

Among them, Yang Jin is the only one who knows everything clearly, but he cannot betray.

In addition, there are people close to her. If they have contact with Liang Guo, they can guess something from her various actions.

And Meng Yuanzhou is not a mediocre person. As long as he knows some of her detailed actions, he might be able to detect something keenly and change his original plan.

Is there a mole among the people close to me? Who could it be?

At this moment, Jiang Li was terrifyingly calm.

She wasn't angry at being betrayed, nor was she completely panicked because she was caught off guard.

People are all driven by profit, and it is normal for someone to betray you.

And now she would definitely not be able to find this person if she relied solely on her own guesses.

Therefore, we can put the mole thing aside for now and think of ways to deal with the current situation.

While thinking, she quickly got dressed.

At this time, Lan Yin had already rushed over.

Jiang Li's location is in the center of the military camp, which is a very safe place.

So Lan Yin didn't rush over immediately, but went to the front to check the situation before coming over.

When he saw Jiang Li, he directly reported: "The Liang army suddenly launched a large-scale attack on us."

"Before taking action, a fire was set on the place where our army's food and grass were stored. Although we found it in time, most of the food and grass was burned down."

"The incident happened suddenly. Although our side quickly gathered resistance, the opponent also had a large number of people. If the stalemate continues, it will be detrimental to our side. I am afraid that too many manpower will be consumed at once."

"I just briefed General Yang. He asked me to come over and ask for your instructions. He thinks that the other party is prepared. At this time, we should retreat to Ningcheng."

Jiang Li thought quickly in his mind, and then said categorically, "We can't retreat!"

Lan Yin was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Jiang Li to say this.

She was a little anxious for a moment, "But the situation is not good for us now. If we insist on holding on, we may suffer heavy losses..."

After all, he had stayed in the military camp for so long. To Lan Yin, the soldiers here were all living people.

When something like this happened, she naturally wanted to protect everyone subconsciously and prevent more people from dying.

However, Jiang Li's attitude at this time was particularly tough, "I said, you can't retreat!"

At this time, she didn't want to explain too much to Lan Yin, so she just strode outside and said, "Take me to see Yang Jin!"

Yang Jin was currently on the observation deck, looking at the night in the distance.

It's very dark tonight, with no moon and no stars.

Looking out from here, there is basically darkness in front of us. Only the countless burning torches on the enemy's side can be seen.

Judging from the number of torches, the opponent has a lot of manpower, and there are people waiting for support from behind who have not yet made any move.

Yang Jin frowned and felt heavy.

He and Jiang Li had been preparing for a long time, but neither of them expected that Liang Guo's actions would suddenly advance.

Being caught off guard like this, they would probably need to retreat to Ningcheng.

Then some of the preparations they had made to familiarize themselves with the battlefield would be completely useless.

Fortunately, the new armor weapons and some combat training can still come in handy.

The follow-up may be more difficult, but there is still hope of winning.

Just as he was thinking about this, he felt someone climbing up to the lookout behind him.

Looking back, he saw Jiang Li walking towards him with a serious face, followed by Lan Yin.

Before Yang Jin could speak, Jiang Li opened his mouth and said, "We can't retreat."

One sentence completely shattered all the plans Yang Jin had just thought of. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked in confusion, "Why?"

"It will not be good for us to hold on to the current situation..."

Before he could say more, Jiang Li raised his eyes and looked at the fire in the distance, and then said: "Liang Guo's sudden action today is indeed unexpected, but our people have been paying attention to Liang Guo's movements before."

"During the day today, we received news that Meng Yuanzhou was coming here with a large army, preparing to pass through here to attack Huangsha Kingdom."

"According to the report, even if they rush non-stop, they still have at least one day and one night to get there."

"Other than that, there are no military mobilizations from Liang State. In other words, the only one who launches a surprise attack on us now is the 100,000 troops originally stationed at the border."

When Yang Jin heard this, he couldn't help but look back at the fire in the distance, "But judging from the number, the other party may send out more than 100,000..."

"Could it be that Meng Yuanzhou did some trick and brought some people here in advance?"

Jiang Li said calmly: "If you only judge from the light of the fire that the number of people on the other side may be more than 100,000, then I think you don't have to worry about it."

She looked into the distance and said calmly: "Don't you realize that the firelight in the distance is a bit too quiet?"

"Normally, if a soldier is holding a torch, it is impossible for him to remain motionless. However, the flames have not moved, so it is possible that this is an empty city tactic used by the other party."

"Their purpose is to scare us and make us retreat to Ningcheng."

"Once we retreat to Ningcheng, these places will be completely given up. When Meng Yuanzhou brings his people, they will inevitably lead his people to besiege the city. At that time, the situation will really be unfavorable to us!"
