General Jiang is a rough man; when it comes to reasoning, how could he possibly win against Grand Tutor Su?

He was so angry that his face and neck turned red, his voice was rough, and his face was full of rage. "Grand Tutor, I'll just say it directly. I don't support sending Princess Ning'an to the battlefield. She is the only bloodline of the Marquis of Zhenbei. She has to live well."

“General Jiang, you’re wrong. If you want Princess Ning’an to live, does that mean others don’t deserve to live?” Grand Tutor Su’s tone became more serious.

"Grand Tutor Su, how many lives did the Marquis of Zhenbei's family sacrifice to protect the Great Zhou? Is it so difficult to leave him an heir?" General Jiang asked angrily.

"General Jiang..."

"Enough!" Emperor Changlong interrupted Grand Tutor Su. "I invited you here to discuss matters, not to argue."

Everyone was silent.

Emperor Changlong continued, "Do any of my beloved ministers have any better ideas?"

“Your Majesty, although Princess Ning’an is the only descendant of the Marquis of Zhenbei, Grand Tutor Su is right. The one who tied the knot must untie it. The best person to quell this war between Yan and Da Zhou is Princess Ning’an.”

Prime Minister Jiang spoke up, “If Princess Ning’an sacrifices herself for the country and can quell the conflict between the two countries, then she will be a great hero of the Great Zhou and will be remembered for all time. If she returns in triumph, I believe that Marquis Zhenbei will be proud of her even in the afterlife.”

"Your Majesty, please allow Princess Ning'an to lead the troops into battle!"

"Your Majesty, please allow Princess Ning'an to lead the troops into battle!"

……

The crowd shouted in unison, all demanding that Song Siyao lead the troops into battle.

Emperor Changlong looked at the court officials before him. They had all been misled by Grand Tutor Su and were determined to put Song Siyao to death.

“Wang Fu, Princess of Xuan Ning’an.”

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

When the urgent message rushed into the imperial city, Song Siyao had already received the message from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

Wen Tao led his troops to invade and occupied Fengshadu.

Song Siyao took out a map of Fengsha Ferry and stared at it intently.

She had looked at this map countless times.

Her father's tactics back then were absolutely correct, so why did they all sacrifice themselves?

What tactics should we switch to in order to win this time?

While Song Siyao was pondering, the people from the palace arrived.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Song Siyao appeared in the imperial court.

"Your subject Ning'an greets Your Majesty." Song Siyao bowed.

"No need for formalities." Emperor Changlong looked at Song Siyao with heartache. "Ning'an, look at this."

Wang Fu took the urgent message from Emperor Changlong and handed it to Song Siyao.

Song Siyao glanced at it quickly, and it was almost identical to the information from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, Ning'an requests permission to lead troops into battle, repel the enemy, and recover lost territory!"

"Ning An, you are still injured." Emperor Changlong truly cared about Song Siyao.

“Your Majesty, Ning’an has only suffered a minor injury, but the people of the border town are in deep distress. Many have lost their homes and families. They are the ones who are truly suffering.”

Song Siyao thought of the war she had witnessed in modern times, where many children lost their parents and cried as they searched for them amidst the flames of war. She could never forget those expressions.

Some children lost their lives in the war, and their parents held their cold bodies for a long time, unwilling to let go.

They clearly had a home, yet they became homeless.

Putting all these factors aside, she wanted to go to the front lines to find out the truth about the Battle of Panxi back then.

She wanted to find the traitor who colluded with Wen Tao and avenge her father and brothers.

She wanted to protect the people there, the same people her father and brothers had risked their lives to protect.

"It's rare to find Princess Ning'an who is so understanding and righteous. Your Majesty, please grant her wish. I believe that with the spirit of the Marquis of Zhenbei protecting her, Princess Ning'an will surely achieve her goal," Grand Tutor Su encouraged.

General Jiang was very impressed by Song Siyao's courage. "Your Majesty, I request to follow Princess Ning'an and be at her beck and call."

He felt that Song Siyao was incapable of fighting.

However, if Song Siyao insisted on going, he could only follow her and protect her, determined to preserve the only bloodline of the Marquis of Zhenbei no matter what.

"I grant your permission." Emperor Changlong knew that Song Siyao would undoubtedly be going to this war with the Yan Kingdom.

"Princess Ning'an, heed my command!"

"The minister is here."

"I hereby order you to lead an army of 200,000 to defeat the Yan Kingdom and recover the lost territory!" Emperor Changlong commanded.

"Your subject obeys the decree; if the enemy is not driven back, your subject will not return!" Song Siyao swore.

Emperor Changlong then issued further orders, appointing Song Siyao as the commander-in-chief and General Jiang as his deputy, to immediately depart for the front lines.
