"Gao Anbang says he managed to achieve a swift victory within just two days, having already captured one city, and he’s planning to capture another before deciding to withdraw his troops."

Su Yan asked in confusion, "Wasn’t it said that just giving Moyan Country a blow would be enough? Since they’ve already won, why continue to fight?"

Chu Yuxiao chuckled, "This kind of blow is not severe for them at all. At least another one is needed to prevent them from preparing for war for a year or two.

Moreover, the city that Gao Anbang captured is a small town on the border of Moyan Country, causing them no significant loss. Therefore, another must be seized."

Su Yan furrowed her willow-leaf eyebrows and asked, "Why does it seem so easy to win?

In just two days, a city was captured. Moyan Country doesn’t seem as powerful as imagined.

If they can capture another city, why not continue attacking until Moyan Country is seized?"

Chu Yuxiao looked at her and explained, "The reason the first battle was won so easily is that Moyan Country’s land is vast and desolate, with many deserts in between.

And the city Gao Anbang attacked is the most remote place, so Moyan Country’s reinforcements couldn’t arrive in time, which is why it was easily captured.

Why not continue attacking until Moyan Country is taken?

Because the deeper you go into Moyan Country, the harsher the terrain and climate become, and our army cannot adapt, leading only to defeat.

Perhaps they lost the first battle on purpose, wanting our army to think they are easy to defeat, and then, as we pursue, to counter-attack in an environment that favors them, turning defeat into victory.

At that time, the ones severely hit would be us, not them."

Su Yan nodded in understanding. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The study of warfare is truly profound.

She had always heard that the great Chairman Mao was a magnificent military strategist. Now, Su Yan felt that Chu Yuxiao was also a great military strategist.

He sits in the Imperial Palace every day, seeing through everything outside.

This is what is called strategizing a thousand miles away.

Suddenly, Su Yan became deeply interested in warfare and continued to ask excitedly:
