Guo Zhanjie hurried in from outside and reported in a low voice.

"Miss, General Han Er is back."

Mu Yan's eyes were stern, "Let's go and take a look."

Before anyone entered the commander's tent, they heard a howling cry: "Uncle, brother, it's all my fault that I fainted on the road and didn't have time to call for help. I feel guilty!"

Mu Yan raised the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically: "Second General Han, Marquis Zhongyong and General Han are not dead yet. What are you howling for? Don't disturb our army's morale."

Han Cishan stopped crying upon hearing this, with an embarrassed look on his face.

He looked up at the masked man in front of him, feeling a sense of familiarity, and asked, "You are the young man who saved my uncle and elder brother, right? May I ask your name, so that I can report to the court and reward you."

On the way back just now, his soldiers had told him everything, so he knew that the man in front of him was the one who saved Han Zhen and Han Yunnan.

Although he appeared to be very respectful on the surface, he was secretly furious.

Ever since he found out about the enemy's plan, he racked his brains to come up with the strategy of killing someone with a borrowed knife. He didn't expect that it would be ruined by a guy he had never met before. How could he not be angry?

Mu Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, "There's no need for a reward, but there is something that requires General Han's cooperation."

Han Cishan pretended to smile and said, "Young man, you don't have to be polite. You have done a great favor to our Han family. Just tell me what you have to say."

A hint of viciousness flashed across Mu Yan's cold eyes. "When the Marquis just woke up, he issued an order that General Han II had made a mistake in spying on the military situation and delayed the rescue time. According to military law, he should be punished with 100 strokes of the cane, and the punishment will be carried out immediately."

Han Cishan's eyes widened in anger, and he roared, "How dare you pass on military orders without authorization? What crime should you be punished for?"

"You can ask General Guo whether I have falsely transmitted the military order or not."

Mu Yan winked at Guo Zhanjie.

Mu Yan knew that her grandfather had always felt guilty towards Han Cishan, so he would definitely give Han Cishan a lighter sentence after waking up. Instead of doing that, it would be better for her to kill him first and then report to him. Even if she couldn't take his life, she would at least teach him a lesson.

Although Guo Zhanjie was puzzled, he also cooperated very well. "General Han Er, this is indeed what the Marquis said himself. You should cooperate."

Han Cishan shouted, "Nonsense! I've seen that you two are in the same group. What is your purpose? You beat our general in front of the battle. Do you want to disrupt our army's morale?"

Mu Yan said with disdain: "You made a mistake in spying on the military situation, which gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it and put the Marquis and General Han in danger. If I don't punish you, it will shake the morale of our army."

Han Cishan snorted lightly, not being polite at all: "You have no evidence, do you think I will believe you? Dream on!"

"Get some people and tie up General Han Er for me." Mu Yan ordered sternly.

A group of soldiers immediately rushed into the military tent.

"Who are you? I am a third-rank official in the imperial court. I want to see who dares to touch me."

After hearing this, the soldiers hesitated to take action. After all, they had not heard the order from Marquis Zhongyong in person.

"What about me? Do you think I dare to touch you?"

A familiar voice was heard.

Han Cishan's heart skipped a beat, like a frightened bird.

"Big brother!"

It's uncle!

Mu Yan's eyes lit up, and she felt relieved when she saw Han Yunnan's face gradually turning red. It seemed that his injury had improved a lot.

Han Yunnan had been fighting for many years, so he naturally had an aura of life and death. When he came in, no one dared to say a word.

He stared at Han Cishan and said, "You were wrong in spying on the military situation, which caused our army to suffer heavy losses. According to military law, you should be executed, but the Marquis only punished you with a hundred strokes of the cane because of your previous military merits. How dare you disobey?"

"I... I surrender." Han Cishan said unwillingly.

"Then don't pull it down."

"Yes!"

With Han Yunnan's order, the soldiers did not dare to slack off and immediately dragged Han Cishan out.

After a while, the sound of beatings was heard outside the door.

After everyone left, Han Yunnan's serious face immediately turned into a loving one: "Yan'er, your martial arts have improved so rapidly. No wonder your father has cultivated you so carefully. Your talent is truly once in a century."

Mu Yan smiled and said, "I am just lucky. My cousin is also very talented."

Han Yunnan patted her head lovingly: "You don't have to speak well of that boy. His talent is far inferior to yours."

He saw clearly that Mu Yan's martial arts were definitely better than Han Jiuxiao's now, and even his ability to lead troops in battle had improved a lot. He could break through the formation and kill the general by himself, which even he, a veteran who had been on the battlefield for many years, could not do.

"By the way, you came all the way here, how did you know that the Liao army would launch a surprise attack?"

Mu Yan pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.

Han Yunnan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since you don't want to talk about it, your uncle won't ask. You saved your grandfather and uncle's life. I will send someone to take you back to the city tonight and let your aunt make you something delicious."

Mu Yan felt warm in her heart, knowing that her uncle was doing this for her own good. There were many men in the army, and he was afraid that she would be inconvenienced in the army. However, she still refused and said, "I will eat my aunt's meal when you return to the capital. I'd better leave for the capital tonight. I'm afraid I'll be discovered if I stay out for too long."

Mu Yan didn't know why she was always panicking. She always felt that something big was going to happen in the capital, so she couldn't wait to rush back. Now that her grandfather and uncle were fine, she was relieved and her trip was not in vain.

Han Yunnan said regretfully: "In that case, then well, be careful on the road."

Before leaving, Mu Yan whispered in his ear: "Uncle, you must pay attention to Han Cishan."

Han Yunnan nodded heavily. When he just woke up, the deputy general told him everything that happened today. He had been marching for many years and he immediately noticed something was wrong as soon as he heard it. He knew exactly where the problem lay.

So he did not stop Han Cishan from being punished today.

Seeing that her uncle had a plan in mind, Mu Yan finally put her mind at ease.

Then the group set off at full speed under the cover of night.

……

On the other side, the enemy's transport team was stopped by a group of soldiers halfway. The leader of the transport team looked at the soldiers in armor in front of him and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"General Chen has ordered that your transport team is too slow, so let our armored troops deliver the armored uniforms themselves."

"But..." The leading soldier was about to say something but was interrupted.

"But what? Hand over the armor and horses to us quickly. The battle ahead is intense. If you delay, you won't have enough heads to chop off." Guo Zhanjie smiled. Fortunately, the armored soldiers all had iron mesh masks, so their true faces could not be seen, otherwise it would be difficult to get away.

The soldier next to the leader said, "Vanguard, they are wearing armor, they must be the Ironclad Army, we should give them the armor. If the battle is delayed, we can't afford it then."

The leader thought it made perfect sense and said, "Okay."

Then he handed over all the iron armor and war horses.

Enemy camp.

Chen Rongba overturned the table in front of him in anger.

"You are all good-for-nothings. When did I send the Armored Army to support you? This must be a conspiracy of Northern Qi."

The military advisor beside him had a worried look on his face and stood up to persuade him: "General Chen, it's useless for us to say this now. We should think about what to do next."

Chen Rongba snorted coldly, punched the wall, and said unwillingly: "Even the secret weapon is gone, what are you still fighting for? Why don't you go back to the tribe and apologize to the leader."

……

Northern Qi military camp.

"Hahaha, General Han, the enemy has withdrawn." Guo Zhanjie entered the tent with a big laugh, and even his steps became much lighter.

Han Yunnan quickly put down the military book in his hand, stood up and said excitedly: "Really? Good, good, it seems that my niece's strategy is really good."

Tonight is destined to bring good news one after another.

"General, the Marquis is awake."

what?

Han Yunnan and Guo Zhanjie looked at each other, both extremely excited.
