Emperor Shen's charming wife

Not long after the envoy left, the border came with the bad news of the defeat in the first battle. Shen Yu and Ning Yao looked solemn, and urgently convened a meeting of all the generals to jointly analyze the reasons for the defeat. The atmosphere in the tent was depressing, and a general took the lead in breaking the silence and said: "The enemy used unprecedented new weapons and tactics in this war, which was the key factor that led to our defeat." Ning Yao's eyes were firm, and then he proposed: "We must introduce new defense technologies and vigorously strengthen the research and development of weapons to improve the overall combat effectiveness." Shen Yu nodded slightly, looked at Ning Yao and asked: "General Ning, do you have a suitable candidate in mind to take charge of this matter?" Ning Yao clasped his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, I have a close friend who has unique and exquisite insights in the field of mechanical manufacturing. I believe he can provide us with effective assistance." "Okay, recall him immediately and let him be fully responsible for weapons research and development." Shen Yu ordered decisively. General Ning hurried away after receiving the order. Shen Yu immediately turned to look at Ning Yao: "My dear Ning, what other ideas do you have for the current situation?" Ning Yao pondered for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, we might as well recruit craftsmen with special talents in the country and let them use their expertise to make more advanced equipment for us." Shen Yu nodded in agreement: "This is a great idea. Let's do as you say." "Thank you, Your Majesty." Ning Yao nodded slightly. At the same time, Shen Yu thought carefully and finally decided to go to the battle in person. His eyes were bright and his expression was solemn. He knew that only by supervising the battle in person could he boost morale to the greatest extent and command the battle on the front line more directly and effectively. "Your Majesty, you can't go to the battle in person. The front line is too dangerous. What if something happens to you?" Eunuch Li said with a trembling voice and a red face. "I have made up my mind. No need to say more." Shen Yu waved his hand decisively, his expression firm and resolute. "Your Majesty, I am willing to go with you." Ning Yao stepped forward, her eyes full of determination and fearlessness. "Nonsense, the front line is full of dangers, what can you, a woman, do if you go?" Shen Yu frowned and shouted loudly. "Your Majesty, although I am a woman, I am also familiar with military books and know strategies. I will definitely share your worries." Ning Yao did not back down and said firmly. Shen Yu looked at Ning Yao's extremely determined eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, you go with me." Before Shen Yu left, he and Ning Yao stayed up all night in the study and worked out a detailed rear support plan together. The flickering candlelight reflected the tired but focused faces of the two. In addition, they also secretly deployed well-trained female agents to prepare to disintegrate the enemy country from within. "Your Majesty, I have arranged everything, you can rest assured." Ning Yao said, her eyes full of confidence. "Okay, I believe you." Shen Yu nodded. At the same time, General Ning was busy reorganizing the army on the border. In the vast borderland, tents were everywhere and military flags were flying. General Ning personally introduced new tactics and conducted strict training for the soldiers. At the same time, he also worked tirelessly to strengthen the alliance with the surrounding tribes in order to form a favorable situation of attacking from both inside and outside. "General, the enemy is coming fiercely, how should we deal with it?" A general frowned and asked worriedly. General Ning looked firm and confident, saying: "Although the enemy is strong, we also have our own advantages. As long as we work together and unite, we will definitely be able to defeat them." Under the strong leadership of General Ning, the morale of the army was as high as a raging fire, and the combat effectiveness was greatly improved. However, just when everything seemed to be gradually on the right track, something unexpected happened. A frontier garrison commander actually defected to the enemy, causing an important fortress to be lost, and the situation instantly fell into a passive position again. "Your Majesty, it's bad. The enemy has breached one of our fortresses." A general ran in in a panic. "What?" Shen Yu was shocked and his face turned gloomy in an instant. "Quick, gather all the generals and discuss countermeasures." "Yes." The general took the order and left in a hurry. After a while, all the generals gathered together. "Your Majesty, the enemy has breached one of our fortresses. The situation is critical. How should we deal with it?" A general asked anxiously. "Your Majesty, the enemy is coming fiercely. We should not fight hard. It is better to retreat first and then look for an opportunity to counterattack." Another general suggested cautiously. "Your Majesty, I think we should take the initiative to attack and disrupt the enemy's deployment." Ning Yao stepped forward, her eyes full of determination. "Your Majesty, I agree with Lord Ning's opinion. We can't sit and wait for death. We must take the initiative to attack." A general echoed. Shen Yu pondered for a moment and thought: "Okay, let's do as Ning Aiqing said, take the initiative to attack and disrupt the enemy's deployment." "Yes." The generals took the order and left. Faced with this sudden change, Shen Yu and Ning Yao were not discouraged. Instead, they found a new breakthrough in adversity. A more daring counterattack plan was quietly brewing, leaving a huge suspense for the next stage of the story.
