Entering the tent, Liang Chongyue saw his uncle discussing tactics with several generals on the sand table. As for Langwa's request for peace talks, it seemed that there was no end to it.

Liang Chongyue walked to her second uncle and saw that he was flipping through a military book. When he saw her approaching, he stood up and gave up his seat in front of the desk.

Liang Chongyue was not polite. After sitting down, he took a pen and started drawing, drawing out the topographic map in his mind bit by bit.

Not a single detail was missed. When he finished the painting, Liang Chongyue looked up and realized that there was a circle of people around him.

"What is Yue'er doing?"

Liang Chongyue pointed to the still-dry topographic map to his two uncles and the generals:

"I just went to the ferry and the mountain. This is a topographic map based on the latest terrain."

Liang Chongyue pointed with the pen and explained, explaining every detail of the painting.

"Is this what you went to do this morning?"

"Did you have lunch when you came back?"

After Liang Chongyue finished explaining her entire topographic map, her eldest uncle and second uncle spoke at the same time, one with a look of satisfaction and pride in his eyes, and the other spoke in a gentle and caring tone while handing over a plate of dried meat and biscuits.

"These things at the border are easy to store. They're not as soft as the cakes in Beijing. Let's use them as a cushion first."

"Thank you, uncle. I had nothing to do this morning, so I went out for a walk. I came here after lunch."

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he symbolically picked up a piece of bread and started chewing it. The bread had the most ordinary taste, mixed with corn flour. It was not very tasty and a bit sore to the throat.

After the topographic map was completely dry, Xiang Huayan picked it up and compared it with the map that the border guard had handed to him when he came. In comparison, Chongyue's map was much clearer.

Liang Chongyue didn't say much, but waited for his two uncles and the generals to finish reading.

She had seen the map in her eldest uncle's hand, and last night she and her second uncle used that map to fix the sand table.

"Great, with this map, we don't have to worry about not being able to capture it."

"That's right. This is the first time I've seen a map like this. I can understand it even though I recognize a few words."

......

Liang Chongyue looked at the generals who were speaking. They were all veterans, with scars on their faces left from the battlefield, which were the glory left by the years.

Liang Chongyue smiled modestly. The problems reflected in the topographic map she drew were obvious enough, and she believed that her two uncles should be able to see them.

"The old emperor of Xizhou fell ill in the summer and is now lying on his bed, unable to move a finger. He is only keeping alive thanks to medicine.

The crown prince who was appointed died at the hands of his own people. The significance of Xizhou is unclear now. Intelligence has come in that several of the most aggressive princes are colluding with the Northern Territory.

All the people in the tent were trustworthy. Xiang Huayan directly told them the latest intelligence received from Xizhou. The few people who were talking and laughing just now quickly stopped smiling and became silent.

"The Xizhou Ferry crossing is of great importance. If Xizhou rebels, we will be in a passive position. An army of over 100,000 people cannot use the ferry crossing, so we can only rely on mountain roads to advance. Not only will it waste time, but the mountain roads are also full of dangers and the risk of huge rocks rolling down."

Liang Chongyue sat in front of the desk, silent, listening to several generals talk about the current situation one by one.

It seems that everyone understands the current priority. It is too late to build ships. Only by taking Xizhou will future soldiers have less worries.

"Xizhou is just a tiny country. It shouldn't take much effort to capture it directly. We shouldn't have given them a chance to breathe before, and now we have to expend our military forces on this."

Liang Chongyue called up the panel. In addition to the topographic map, there was a more direct display on the panel.

Liang Chongyue called up the panel to see where the attack point would be suitable. They would definitely have to fire the first shot in this battle.

Passive acceptance has never been Daha's style.

"Here, attack from here."

Liang Chongyue kept adjusting the angle and looking at the location on the panel. Finally, he decided on several locations and marked them on the drawn topographic map with red cinnabar.

"These places are the weakest points in Xizhou. If Xizhou is in civil strife, no matter how many princes collude with the Northern Territory, only one can finally ascend to the throne. They are bound to check and balance each other."

"Take advantage of the chaos and attack them. Once they have chosen a new king and have taken back their scattered power, our soldiers will only suffer greater casualties."

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, she was not in a hurry for her uncle as the commander-in-chief to make a decision. She only gave a suggestion, but everyone present knew more about the battlefield than her.

If her proposal was adopted, it would prove that all her years of reading military books were not in vain. If it was rejected, it must be because her uncle and his men had made better battle decisions.

Liang Chongyue munched on a biscuit, drank hot tea, and waited for good news.

Except for the eldest uncle and the second uncle, the other generals did not rush to question it. They had all heard of the abilities of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

At the age of five, she was able to receive personal instruction from His Majesty. You should know that His Majesty has only personally taught Her Royal Highness the Princess Zhenguo over the years, and even the legitimate prince did not have such an opportunity.

Her Royal Highness the Princess's political achievements over the years are obvious to all, and some things cannot be faked.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the several locations marked with cinnabar. Combining the terrain, they discussed and studied with each other, and finally came to the conclusion that was exactly the same as the places marked by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Liang Chongyue had just finished a piece of cake and a cup of hot tea when her second uncle poured her a new one.

When Liang Chongyue exchanged glances of gratitude with his second uncle, he saw a tenderness of relief and affirmation in his second uncle's eyes.

Second uncle is always as gentle as jade, but he rarely affirms anyone. At least this is the first time Liang Chongyue has seen this during the time he has been with second uncle.

It seems that she has a sharp eye and the location she chose is correct.

"This battle cannot wait. We must catch them off guard."

The second uncle stood beside Liang Chongyue and spoke, and his position seemed to be giving Liang Chongyue affirmation.

After hearing what the military advisor said, the other generals nodded in agreement.

"That old man in the North is full of evil intentions, and his son, the Crown Prince of the North, is also a despicable villain. When we face people like this, we can't just use courtesy first and then force. We have to beat them into submission, and then they will learn their lesson."

"That's right. Five years ago, during the battle, the northern border ambushed me. So many of my soldiers died. Without this uniform, they were all children raised with great difficulty by ordinary people. I've been guarding this place for five years, wasn't it because I couldn't face going back to see the families of those dead soldiers?"
