After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!

I looked at the weather and thought that if I didn't hurry back, I might not be able to return to the barracks in a few days. Ah Wen and I hurried back to the barracks.

When we arrived at the military camp, it just started snowing heavily. I was very glad that we finally arrived at the military camp.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the military camp, I saw a figure. It looked a bit like Wen Yichen, but I wasn't sure. When I got off the horse and took a closer look, I found that it was really Wen Yichen.

Wen Yichen's head was covered with snow, and his face was red from standing in the snow for a long time. His whole body was shaking from the cold.

I looked at Wen Yichen and immediately ran over to hug him. Wen Yichen also reached out and hugged me. I knew he was waiting for me at the door.

I couldn't stand the cold outside, so I pulled Wen Yichen into the tent. It was snowing today, so the soldiers were not allowed to go out for training. This kind of weather was too exhausting. Let them conserve their energy.

Wen Yichen and I went into the tent and took a long time to calm down. Our bodies were no longer so cold.

Wen Yichen immediately made me a cup of hot tea and said, "Drink some hot tea first. I'll ask the kitchen to cook more meat later. You just came back. But you need to nourish your body more."

I took the hot tea that Wen Yichen handed over and drank it. Ah Wen also recovered at this time. Ah Wen gave the seasoning I brought to the kitchen.

At this time, Wen Yichen and I were the only ones left in the tent. We both felt a little awkward and didn't know what to say for a moment.

I took the initiative to break the awkwardness and said, "You really understand me! You knew I was coming back today, so you were waiting for me at the door. Aren't you cold just standing there?"

Wen Yichen coughed awkwardly twice, then said: "It's snowing heavily. If you don't come back, I'm afraid you can only stay in Yecheng. But staying in Yecheng is also good. At least it won't be as cold as it is now. Is your wound better?"

I nodded and replied, "It's nothing. I just performed it for them. What's the problem? I also met Doctor Chen's apprentice this time. Fortunately, we have this relationship. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be exposed!"

Wen Yichen didn't expect me to be so lucky. He immediately joked, "It seems that our lucky star is really blessed. No matter where we go, we can turn danger into safety. We don't have to worry at all!"

I chuckled and decided not to answer. Wen Yichen immediately asked seriously, "What kind of news are they conveying? Qingqing, do you know?"

I pretended to be in deep thought and didn't answer. Wen Yichen looked at me like that and thought something had happened. He tried to comfort me, "It's okay. No matter what happens, we will have good luck. After all, our little lucky star is still here."

I looked at Wen Yichen, who was obviously looking very worried, but still pretended to be calm and spoke to comfort me. I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

I laughed twice and realized that it was not right to say this in this atmosphere. Then I immediately restrained my smile and said, "Of course I heard it! They are just as we guessed. They went to pass on the news from our military camp. But don't worry. The Rong tribe does not know our true situation yet. We can still continue to proceed in an orderly manner according to the previous plan!"

After hearing this, Wen Yichen was relieved. According to this idea, we can win this battle soon.

While we were talking, my grandfather and Luo Chen came in. Seeing them coming, I immediately went to greet them with a smile.

My grandfather immediately took me and scanned my whole body. Only after he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with my body did he feel relieved.

Luo Chen immediately hugged me and said, "It's good that you're okay! It's good that you're back safely. Looking at your body, you should be almost well, right? Don't catch a cold again, otherwise your health will be bad!"

Grandfather immediately hit Luo Chen and said, "Our Qingqing just came back, don't say bad things about her. Our Qingqing is fine. She will get better and better in the future. It's good that she's back. But next time, don't take risks with yourself. Otherwise, if something really happens, it will be terrible!"

I immediately took my grandfather's hand and said coquettishly: "Grandfather, you saw that everyone was working hard, so you thought of doing this. Can't we all have a good year in the future? If not, with our current military strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to fight the Rong tribe head-on!"

Grandfather then remembered that he came to discuss something important with us and immediately took us to his tent.

Grandfather looked at the sand and said to us: "Recently I have studied the terrain of this border and the methods used by the Rong tribe to attack us. I think the next time they attack us, they may attack from our west. We have a terrain advantage on the east side, and they cannot attack from here. Their only breakthrough point is the west!"

We all looked at the sand map and found that we were actually surrounded by mountains to the east and in front and behind. In this case, if the opponent wanted to attack, the best breakthrough point would be the west.

Another coincidence is that the Rong tribe's camp is located on the right side, which is easier to attack, and the left side and the front and back are higher. Their camp is in front of our camp to the right.

If they wanted to come over and attack us, not only was there a long distance between us and their camp, but it would also be very exhausting to go around from the right to the left to attack us.

I looked at the map and thought our current location was pretty good. Although it was inconvenient to get out, and it would be hard to escape if we encountered other natural disasters, everything else was pretty good.

So I said cheerfully: "The two camps seem to be restraining each other. If we want to attack, the attacker will definitely not have the advantage. We will definitely lose physical strength."

Grandfather patted my shoulder and said earnestly: "Qingqing, perhaps your idea is too one-sided. We only have that one gap in our defense. The same applies to escaping. If the enemy blocks our exit, where should we go? There are mountains all around, and it is impossible to climb over them, right?"

I looked at the sand map and fell into deep thought. This is indeed a problem. Then there is another good way. One part of the people stay here, and the other part of the people leave and find another place to stay nearby!

But this method is naturally too late. Wen Yichen, who had been silent, stood up and said: "As long as we defend this terrain well, we will have a complete advantage. Their current military strength cannot completely trap us. If they set up a trap outside, we can also use the terrain advantage to counterattack. There is only one exit, and the number of people they can enter is limited. We can defeat them in batches first."

Grandfather looked at Wen Yichen and said with a smile: "It's like this. Although there are mountains on the right or behind, we can hide inside first. When the enemies come in batches, if we can't beat them, we can run to the mountains. The trees in the mountains are still relatively lush. We can use them to hide or use the terrain to fight back again!"

I followed their line of thought and saw that it was indeed the same. This made me secretly relieved.

Luo Chen was beside him, not saying a word. But I knew he was also analyzing how to deal with the situation. I have to say that Luo Chen still has some talent in military tactics.

Grandfather looked at the three of us and said to us solemnly: "I don't know if we can all return alive from this war. If I am gone, you must fight side by side. I will do my best to protect the three of you."

I listened to my grandfather's words with tears in my eyes. My grandfather also died in this battle in my previous life. My grandmother was devastated when she found out. My grandfather and grandmother stayed together all their lives and cared about each other.

After my grandfather passed away, my grandmother lost all her courage to live. Luo Wenqian pretended to be a filial son in front of my grandmother, and then asked my mother to accompany my grandmother all day long.

However, Luo Wenqian relied on my grandfather's reputation to gain more and more power in the court. My mother was not at home, so he secretly brought Li Cui into the mansion, and the two of them lived happily in the mansion. Gradually, my mother's power in the Prime Minister's Mansion was weakened.

Looking at my grandfather who loved me, I thought of the tragic experience in my previous life. Maybe in his previous life, Wen Yiheng had colluded with the people of the Rong tribe and climbed to the position he wanted by stepping on the corpses of others.

On the birthday of the emperor in the previous life, Prince Rong came to congratulate him personally, and even praised Wen Yiheng in front of the emperor, saying that he was a man who could accomplish great things. At that time, I was very happy to hear such praise for Wen Yiheng, and I thought to myself that I would choose him too. My vision was not wrong.

Now it seems that I was played around by him. What a disgusting vampire, he sucked all the blood from me.

My eyes immediately turned red, and I cried, "Grandpa, I believe we will all go back safely and smoothly. Nothing will happen."

Grandfather came over and hugged me without saying anything. In Grandfather's life, the battlefield was full of swords and mercenaries. We are all romantics, thinking that expectation will fall on our heads, but it may not be the case.

Grandfather then changed the subject and said, "It's snowing outside, and it's almost New Year's Eve. Let's take a break and let them write a letter home. I wonder if they will still be there when the letter reaches their home."

Luo Chen said at this time: "Grandfather, I still have some silver here, let's give it to them. The military pay has not arrived yet. But we can't let the soldiers down. It's the end of the year, and their families are in need of money. Let them send some money back when they send letters. This way, their families can celebrate the New Year and they can continue to fight."

Grandfather did not answer, because he had almost spent all his savings. He did not have much savings at that time, and he also wanted to give money to the soldiers. But he was really short of money.

I ran away directly, ran back to the tent, and took out all the silver and money I had hidden in the bottom of the box. Although it was only a few thousand taels, it was better than nothing.

I handed all the silver I took out of the tent to my grandfather and said, "Grandfather, I know you have used your savings to buy military rations. I still have some here. Let's see if I can share some with everyone. It's better to have something than nothing!"

Grandfather looked at me and couldn't help but feel distressed. But I don't think that these are just material possessions. If they can perform well on the battlefield, everyone can return alive. If this money is their motivation, then this money is not wasted.

Awen also took out some silver from the tent and handed it to Wen Yichen.

Wen Yichen also handed the silver to his grandfather and said, "I still have some here. This should be enough to share with everyone!"

Grandfather looked at the three of us and said with even more guilt: "It's my fault. I didn't expect that one day when we need to pay the soldiers, you guys would have to chip in the money. You could have used this money to enjoy your life."

Wen Yichen patted his grandfather on the shoulder and said, "General Wang, you are joking. You have spent half your life's wealth for the country and your family. As the third prince of the Dayun Dynasty, I should take out this money. You shouldn't have to pay for it all. Your family has already paid too much."

Grandfather didn't say anything. Everything was said without words. We counted the money and found that each soldier could get three taels of silver. I felt much more at ease.

I tried hard to recall that I didn't pay attention to this incident in my previous life and had no idea how long this war lasted. If I had known how long it lasted, perhaps many things could have been avoided.

We walked out of the tent. Grandfather decided to announce this tomorrow. Today's weather was changing again. Now was not a good time to gather everyone.
