Watched 4 eps and I think I'm going to have to adjust my expectations for this drama. They must have cut a lot of scenes and the video editing is poorly done in a way that background information and scene transition suffers.

In the novel, the brother took over from her after she won all the wars over many years and achieved military prestige. The country is always at war from "barbarians" so it's not a big thing unless the enemy reaches the capital.
The episode editing is badly done. That's why it's causing confusion for many viewers.
What fancy meals? Xiao Jue is the general so his meals are obviously different. The recruits eat flatbread - actually…
They have a kitchen and dining hall. That's fancy. The kitchen has meat hung from the rafters too. My point is the whole camp looks better than it should from the comments of other characters.

Her father wanted prestige and power. His son was weak so he forced his daughter to dress as a boy instead. In the novel, the change in abilities between He Yan and her brother was explained as him being injured in battle and having to recuperate. I don't know what they will do in the drama.
I know but they haven't mentioned it in the drama. Army barracks at the borders don't look anything like that. It's Cdrama artistic license but still amusing.
