Chapter 92 Why
The light cavalry rested for half a cup of tea. After everyone had their supper with dry food and cold water, they moved forward again.
At first, when the soldiers of the Qingqi Corps looked at Wen Wan, their eyes were full of disdain.
Although the military advisor and Gao Ling had told them before departure that Miss Xiaowan was very important to this mission, deep down in their hearts, they still felt that this girl was a burden.
However, after the first day, their views on Wenwan changed slightly.
At least, a girl managed to hold on for a breath and keep up with their speed, which is worthy of respect in itself.
During the ten-day trip, Wen Wan lost half of her life.
She has lost a lot of weight visibly to the naked eye. Her originally rosy complexion is now only pale and plateau red blown by the wind and sand, and her smart eyes have become a little more penetrating against the sunken eye sockets.
Agui's heart trembled several times when he saw Wenwan like this.
He didn't dare to think about how distressed the general would be if he saw her like this.
At noon, the team stopped by a small river.
Gao Ling rode his horse to the edge of Wenwan, "Cross this small river and walk forward for an hour, and you will reach the Forgotten Valley."
Wen Wan responded and said: "Let everyone stop and rest for a while, call over the soldiers who are good at strategy in the team, and let's study the strategy together."
Gao Ling responded and immediately ordered to go down.
Soon, he led four young people to Wen Wan.
After these days of torment, Wen Wan is now extremely weak. Even though it is already the spring season, she has to wrap herself in a heavy shawl to feel warm.
Agui spread a woolen blanket on the ground. After Wenwan sat down on the blanket, she wrapped her shawl tighter.
The four young men looked surprised when they saw a sheepskin map placed in front of her.
Gao Ling asked everyone to sit down, "From now on, we will listen to Miss Xiaowan's arrangements."
In one sentence, it contained so much gold that several young people were so shocked that it took them a while to come back to their senses.
"Master Gao, you said...let us follow Miss Xiaowan's arrangements?"
They all thought Gao Ling had made a mistake.
Gao Ling nodded calmly, "Yes."
Several people looked at each other and then became a little unconvinced.
"Master Gao, what are you kidding me about? This matter is so important. How can you let a woman give random orders?"
"Yes, although she performed well along the way, she could only keep up with our marching speed. But let alone the battlefield, she couldn't deal with two bandits."

"Brothers have hundreds of lives, and we cannot let a woman take it for granted."
Their reaction was huge, catching Gao Ling off guard.
In the past ten days, except for their indifferent attitude towards Wen Wan, they did not show any other rejection.
One of them told the truth, "We originally thought she was a family member of a brother who was trapped in the valley. She was worried and wanted to follow to the Forgotten Valley regardless of the safety of her life."
"Privately, we still feel that this girl is kind and righteous, and with you and the military advisor as guarantees, we treat her as our brother's wife, so we can tolerate this matter."
"I didn't expect you to let her, a woman, command us?"
"Master Gao, we will tell you clearly that we will not accept her command."
Gao Ling blushed in anger and immediately kicked one of them on the leg, "Idiot!"
But no matter how much he scolded him, the young men did not let up at all.
Wen Wan was not unexpected, and she was not angry, but looked calm.
Gao Ling's face was full of embarrassment, but there was nothing he could do against these soldiers.
"Miss Xiaowan..." Wen Wan waved her hand, "Forget it, it's okay. I wasn't interested in commanding them originally. I'm not a border town defender. I don't get half a copper as a salary from the border town defender. If it weren't for the people in the valley, I won’t take the risk of suffering for someone I care about.”
After a pause, she changed the subject, "But..."
She raised her head and met the gazes of several people with sharp eyes.
"For the sake of the survival of everyone in the valley, even if you don't accept it, you have to endure it."
When several people heard this, they roared angrily: "Why? Who are you to dare to let me endure this?"
Wen Wan sneered, "Just because... I was the one who commanded the battle in Shanshen Temple with a small number of enemies and a large number of enemies."
The battle in Shanshen Temple with fewer enemies and more enemies is still a miracle in the eyes of these soldiers.
The storytellers in the city told the story vividly. In the garrison camp, Military Advisor Min broke the battle into pieces again and again and analyzed it for them.
They still remember the beaming look on Commander Min's face when he talked about this.
The military adviser said that even he did not dare to guarantee that under the circumstances at that time, he could come up with a better strategy than this.

They all knew that there was a person who became a god in that battle.
They just didn't expect that person would be a delicate woman.
Several young people looked at each other and then looked at Gao Ling.
Gao Ling spread her hands and said, "No doubt, it's her."
Several people still couldn't believe it.
Wen Wan was too lazy to argue, so she picked up a branch and pointed at several points on the map.
"This is the topographic map of the Forgotten Valley. These three points are commanding heights. If General Shen and his party are really besieged by the Mobei people, then these three commanding heights must have been seized by the Mobei people."
"No matter which way we go down the mountain, we will be discovered by them and quickly surrounded by them."
"So, we can't just rush over like this stupidly."
"If you want to break the situation, you have to lure them down the mountain and reverse the situation."
"Of course, before that, we have to find out their number and equipment..."
With just a few words, the expressions of several young people became solemn.
They are also the best among those who are good at strategizing. As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the door.
When Wen Wan said the words "commanding heights", they knew that she was really an expert.
Wen Wan was coughing as she spoke. After explaining the strategy, she was already out of breath.
Agui saw her and quickly handed her some water.
After Wen Wan drank half a bottle of water, her throat felt a little better.
Several young people were not convinced at all at this moment, and they all stared at her with burning eyes.
Wen Wan felt a little numb under their gazes.
"Don't look at me like that. These theories of mine are just words on paper. After all, I have never been on the battlefield."
"I just read a few military books and know a thing or two. At this time of life and death, I can't guarantee that these theoretical strategies will be feasible, so I asked Brother Gao to call you over and listen to your opinions."
"After all, you have rich practical experience. You have the most say on whether these strategies can be truly used."
It was related to the life and death of Shen Yu and his party, so she had to be cautious.
Therefore, she is willing to keep her posture to a minimum and minimize risks.
