The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Minglang picked up the teacup and took a sip. Under the old Duke's gaze, he put the teacup down gently and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, I do have this idea."

Xiang Jinsong had heard a little about what happened some time ago. Although His Majesty had ordered not to spread the news, such an incident caused such a big commotion. It was easy to guess that it must be a small country in the Western Regions that offended His Royal Highness Prince Bao.

As for His Royal Highness Prince Bao's plan to send troops to attack the Western Regions, I believe His Majesty also agrees. It will not only be a training exercise, but also a warning to the Western Regions.

I just don't know how the small countries in the Western Regions offended Your Highness, so that Your Majesty would agree to break the current peace and send troops to attack the Western Regions. I think the things these small countries have done are definitely not trivial.

"If Your Highness needs me, I will definitely do my best to help you."

What Minglang wanted was what the old Duke said. The Western Regions were too far away, and there were countless brave men in the army. She brought Han Qi with her, and Han Qi's brave army was enough to defeat the small country in the Western Regions.

"Although I have never been to other military camps, I have witnessed the bravery and decisiveness of the soldiers in the camp outside the capital. I will not trouble you to come out this time. I am here mainly to ask you for advice."

His Royal Highness Prince Bao was willing to open his heart to him because he had watched his children grow up. Xiang Jinsong stood up from behind the tea table, rummaged through the cabinet next to the desk, and finally took out three scrolls.

Minglang quickly stepped forward and took the three scrolls from the old Duke's hand:

"It contains a map of the Western Region's border defenses, a map of the Western Region's topography, and a map of the distribution of various countries in the Western Region."

Minglang helped the old Duke clean up the huge desk, opened the scrolls, spread them out and fixed them on the desk.

"These are all copied from the camp outside the capital. They are the same as the drawings in the camp outside the capital."

Minglang had never seen these maps in the camp outside the capital, but she had seen border maps of the four directions of Daxia, namely, east, south, west and north, in her mother's Palace of Tranquil Longevity. The one in the west was almost exactly the same as the one in front of her, but the one in her mother's Palace of Tranquil Longevity would change every once in a while, perhaps because Qingyu Pavilion was well-informed.

Therefore, any changes in the Western Regions would be reported to the Queen Mother very quickly.

"There are some discrepancies here. The small country of Broken Mountain was destroyed due to the mountain. All the people of this country were divided among other small countries. And here too."

Minglang pointed out three problematic places in one breath. It was absolutely impossible for the drawings in the Queen Mother's Palace of Tranquil Longevity to be wrong as they were constantly being revised.

Then it can only be the old Duke's picture. Because of the lack of information, the picture still shows the old content.

"I see. Thank you, Your Highness, for pointing out my shortcomings."

"It's okay, it's easy."

Xiang Jinsong used a paperweight to press down the drawings, and his rough fingers slid across the drawings, thinking carefully about what he had just said.

"Yes, it is here. Your Highness, please look, this is the fortress of the Western Regions, the most important gateway."

Minglang's eyes followed the direction of the old Duke's finger, locked onto the locations of several fortresses, and silently memorized them in his mind.

"I wonder which small country Your Highness wishes to attack? Could you please explain this to me? I have some knowledge of these small countries in the Western Regions."

After Your Majesty conquered the northern border, Xiang Jinsong got the news and was afraid that Your Majesty would go crazy and conquer the Western Regions in one go. During the time when Your Majesty stayed in the northern border to reorganize the army, he had been studying the small countries in the Western Regions.

I never thought it would come in handy now.

Minglang's fingertips slid over the two countries on the map, and Xiang Jinsong could immediately tell the characteristics and shortcomings of the two countries, and even thought of the location of the attack and what tactics to use.

"The old Duke is truly a master of military strategy. I truly admire him."

Minglang witnessed today the high praise that the Queen Mother gave to the old Duke, and every word she said was humble. He was a man who had dedicated half his life to the battlefield, and the lives of millions of soldiers depended on his decision.

Such a person would advance step by step and be careful at every turn on the battlefield. Just by chatting with him for a few words, Minglang felt as if he was already standing on the battlefield.

"The terrain here is high and steep. If Your Highness leads an army to attack the city, you can arrange for another team to march from the rear and attack from both sides. Our soldiers of Daxia will surely defeat them without any chance of resistance."

At this point, Xiang Jinsong became excited. He knew that he was old now, and even if he wanted to go to war with His Highness, His Majesty would not agree.

His current physical condition allows him to serve his country on the battlefield again, but there are so many soldiers in Daxia. Now that the world is peaceful, countless people have a desire to serve their country hidden in their hearts, but have nowhere to display it.

Now that the opportunity has come, he should not compete with young people for lofty ambitions.

"This is indeed a good move. I wonder if the old Duke has any other methods of attacking the city?"

Xiang Jinsong was slightly stunned when he heard this. It seemed like he was acting as a military advisor to His Highness.

But it feels good. Although he cannot go to the battlefield, at least his tactics can be adopted and used by His Highness, which is enough.

"Yes, Your Highness, yes."

Minglang sat in the old Duke's study for the entire afternoon. When someone brought him the news that A Ke had returned, Minglang had no time to look for her because she was discussing tactics with the old Duke.

These things had been taught to her by her mother, the Queen Mother, and Master Fei, but she still couldn't fully master them. After listening to the old Duke's talk today, many more things suddenly came to her mind.

She remembered everything that her mother had said to her before, and now when she added what the old Duke had said to her, she was able to understand it very well.

When Minglang came out of the old Duke's study, the sky was already covered with a beautiful orange-red sunset. Just standing there and watching the clouds roll by, Minglang felt relaxed.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. We're having a small family dinner tonight. Please enjoy it before leaving."

Minglang stood outside the study and took two deep breaths: "Thank you very much."

After saying goodbye to the old Duke, Minglang walked directly towards A Ke's courtyard. Before he even walked in, he heard the hustle and bustle in the courtyard.

"What are you talking about? You're laughing so happily, tell me too, so I can have some fun too."

When Xiang Ke turned around, he saw Minglang leaning against the courtyard gate. He was wearing a dark green robe and standing tall. Just looking at him was pleasing to the eyes.

When Minglang approached, A Ke's eyes were still fixed on her.

"What's wrong? Are you looking at me stupidly after just a few days of not seeing me?"

Minglang reached out and gently scratched Xiang Ke's nose, waiting for him to come back to his senses.

"Your Highness, your presence in this courtyard makes it look more magnificent and glorious."

Xiang Ke finally understood why his mother said that Prince Bao had perfectly inherited His Majesty's appearance. That face was perfect whether he was a man or a woman.
