Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

In a blink of an eye, autumn has arrived, the wind is howling, and jackdaws fly low in the sky, making hoarse cries. The northern border has long been desolate and bleak.

On this day, in the tent of General Xie Yunsong of Yunhui.

The woman sat next to the man, who was reading a book seriously with his head down. The woman held a pen in her hand, writing attentively, occasionally looking up at the man who was reading seriously.

A scene of peaceful times.

The two people are Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan.

Xie Yunsong had beautiful handwriting, so Bai Zhiyuan pestered Xie Yunsong to teach her calligraphy.

Xie Yunsong was fed up with being pestered, so he began to urge Bai Zhiyuan to practice calligraphy every day. Bai Zhiyuan's handwriting was not ugly, but perhaps because of her martial arts training, her handwriting was very vigorous and powerful, unlike the delicate small handwriting of ordinary women, with a unique style of hers.

Just then, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside.

Xie Yunsong put down the book in his hand and looked up. He keenly felt that something seemed to have happened.

The next moment, Lu Zhiling knocked on the door hurriedly.

"Enter!"

Lu Zhiling's face was full of seriousness. Seeing him like this, Bai Zhiyuan unconsciously stopped writing.

Lu Zhiling said: "General, there is a war."

"Yesterday, the soldiers I sent out to patrol the mountain had not returned at dawn today, so I sent people to look for them. Unexpectedly, they found the bodies of two people at the foot of the mountain. They were tortured to death. It is obvious that they were tortured before they died. Fortunately, they were just patrol soldiers and did not know any military secrets."

"I sent people to scout the Beidi camp this morning. What happened last night was done by the Beidi people. I also got news that the Beidi Crown Prince Yu Huangqing has arrived at the border. It looks like we will have a big battle soon."

Xie Yunsong thought for a moment and said, "I have fought with Yu Huangqing many times. He is the most careful and courageous. This time he became the crown prince of Beidi, and he must want to make achievements as soon as possible. Instead of passively waiting for the enemy, why don't we attack first?"

"Deputy General Lu, go call General Cheng over, and we'll make detailed arrangements."

Lu Zhiling took the order and left, leaving Bai Zhiyuan and Xie Yunsong in the tent.

Bai Zhiyuan was confused by what she heard. She only understood the last sentence, which was that the war would soon begin.

Bai Zhiyuan's heart was boiling with excitement. She had been in the North for so long. Every day, apart from watching the new recruits train, she spent the rest of her time practicing calligraphy and martial arts, which was really boring.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhiyuan asked, "General Xie, are we going to fight a war?"

Xie Yunsong looked at her and nodded slightly.

Bai Zhiyuan said excitedly: "This is the first time I've seen a war with my own eyes. What is a battlefield like? No, I need to practice martial arts again."

Xie Yunsong looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Just then, Lu Zhiling walked in with Cheng Tiankuo.

The two sat opposite Xie Yunsong. Xie Yunsong opened the map of the northern border, and the three of them carefully planned the marching route.

Further north of the northern border is Yancheng, which belonged to Dali many years ago, but was later seized by the northern barbarians. Today, there are still many people of Dali in Yancheng.

Xie Yunsong thought for a moment and said, "Yancheng is a city that my father has tried to take back many times, but to no avail. The Northern Di people are fierce and bold, and have been stationed outside Yancheng. We have always been a little passive. This time, we took the initiative to attack, take Yancheng by surprise, and drive the Northern Di people back to their place."

Lu Zhiling and Cheng Tiankuo both agreed.

Bai Zhiyuan also didn't understand the art of warfare, so he sat quietly beside them.

Xie Yunsong added: "The new soldiers recruited from Shangjing City have been trained for more than three months. Let them go to this battle. The experienced veterans will be in the front and the new recruits will be on duty in the rear. First, let the new recruits feel the battlefield environment; second, the new recruits should grow up as soon as possible, so that the veterans can learn combat experience."

"Deputy General Lu, lead a team of troops and ambush at the north gate of Yancheng. Wait for the Northern Di people to come and kill them first."

"General Cheng is leading another group of troops to surround the south gate of Yancheng."

"If I'm not mistaken, Yu Huangqing will personally lead his troops to fight. At that time, I will personally lead General Zhou to fight together."

Lu Zhiling and Cheng Tiankuo looked at each other and nodded heavily.

Xie Yunsong said again: "Okay, go down and count the troops. We will send out the troops early tomorrow morning."

"Yes!" They said in unison, feeling a little excited.

Since Xie Yunsong drove the Northern Di people out of Wanxiang Mountain last year, the Northern Di people have been dormant and have not set foot in the northern border for a year. This time, they finally couldn't hold back.

After the two left, Bai Zhiyuan stared at Xie Yunsong blankly, with admiration rising in his heart.

Xie Yunsong was able to quickly formulate a plan and arrange his troops. He must be a natural born general.

Xie Yunsong saw Bai Zhiyuan staring at him without blinking, and laughed, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Bai Zhiyuan blinked and said, "Of course I admire General Xie. When I came to the Northern Territory, what I wanted to see most was Xie Yunsong on the battlefield. Soon I will be able to see it with my own eyes. I feel a little excited just thinking about it."

Xie Yunsong was amused by her words.

Then he was silent for a moment and said, "During this battle, you must stay in the barracks and not act rashly."

Bai Zhiyuan frowned and asked, "Why?"

Xie Yunsong frowned and said, "After all, you are the county lady appointed by the emperor himself, and this is your first time on the battlefield, so you are not familiar with fighting. The battlefield is dangerous, so you should stay in the barracks. If you feel there is nothing to do, go and help Cheng Beixiao. There will definitely be a lot of wounded soldiers by then, and he will be a little overwhelmed."

Hearing this, Bai Zhiyuan suppressed his anger and said, "I don't accept your reason. New recruits have no combat experience, but they can go to the battlefield, so why can't I? I can follow behind you, don't worry, I will protect myself."

Xie Yunsong remained unmoved, and said softly but without question: "I have made up my mind, you don't have to say anything more."

Bai Zhiyuan said angrily: "You..."

Xie Yunsong said calmly: "Don't forget, when you first came to the military camp, you promised me that you would obey me in everything. Otherwise, I can only send you back to Beijing."

Bai Zhiyuan looked at him angrily, turned around and left the tent.

Bai Zhiyuan had only taken a few steps when he saw Zhou Yehan inspecting the troops at the martial arts arena. The faces of the soldiers were filled with excitement.

Bai Zhiyuan sighed softly, feeling more and more regretful.

"Ayuan?" Someone called Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan turned around and saw Qin Jinan.

Qin Jinan was seen holding a sword in one hand and armor in the other, looking very high-spirited.

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, who are you going to follow tomorrow?"

Qin Jinan smiled and said, "Deputy General Lu asked me to go with General Xie."

Bai Zhiyuan curled his lips and said, "Even you can go to the battlefield, why don't you let me go?"

Qin Jinan smiled and said, "Perhaps General Xie is worried about your safety. You are a woman, so you should stay in the camp. Let the men lead the troops and charge into battle."

Bai Zhiyuan didn't comment, and didn't want to talk to him anymore. He perfunctorily said a few words to him, and then walked towards the new soldiers. Xiaoshan and Zhang Hu were also excitedly discussing tomorrow's battle. Bai Zhiyuan reminded them to "be careful". Then he walked towards his own tent.

Xie Yunsong's tent next to him was full of generals, all of whom were discussing the details of the battle enthusiastically.

Bai Zhiyuan became more and more excited as he listened to the intense voices inside.

In the end, she could only turn around slowly, looking back every few steps, and reluctantly entered her tent.
