Duyên was born in Hue Tho in 1902 to a father who was a veteran of [[Kholmatzhon's Rebellion]] and the [[Aichi War]]. At adolescence, he was inspired to embark on a military career path after seeing tanks deployed to the front during the [[First Europan War]]. Alongside, he began playing and competing in chess, and won at his town's competitions in 1925 and 1927. Duyên attended the [[Móng Giá Imperial War College]] and graduated as a captain. During the [[Fifth Lorican-Quenminese War]], Duyên was promoted to colonel and commanded the 275th Mechanized Infantry Regiment upon the death of his commanding officer in the [[Northern Theatre of the Fifth Lorican-Quenminese War|Northern Theatre]]. At that time, Duyên executed swift mobile offensives which were noticed by Marshal [[Mạc Hiếu Quang]], and was consequentially promoted to Major General. Subsequently, in April 1936, he was promoted to General to command the [[16th Army (Quenminese Empire)|16th Army]], and helped to conclude the subjugation of Lorica in the [[Final Northern Lorican Expedition]]. In 1942, when Marshal Quang was transferred to command the newly formed [[Western Combined Expeditionary Front]], Duyên's field army was requested, and his tactics helped to throw Allied divisions into disarray during the [[Pakistania Offensive]] and battles of the first years of the [[Northern Indiae Campaign|Northern Indiae]] and [[Nepali-Bhutania Campaign|Nepali-Bhutania]] campaigns. During the [[Manas River Offensive]], Duyen contributed his forces into bringing the Allied forces into their heels, which observed the latter's near destruction; military historians noted that if not for [[Brian Regnitz]]'s successful counterattack, Duyên would have wrought significant damage to Allied formations, including the annihilation of the [[Free Bethausian Army of the East]].

Subsequently, in April 1936, he was promoted to General to command the 16th Army, and helped to conclude the subjugation of Lorica in the Final Northern Lorican Expedition.
