"Second sister, you really impressed me. I didn't expect that you not only understand military tactics, but also have such unique insights into conscription."

Bai Jin said proudly, "In that case, do you agree to let me go with you to the battlefield?"

"Uh..." Bo Chen still hesitated. It was too dangerous to do so.

Yun Zhihan sat aside, listening to the conversation between the siblings, and was really impressed by Jin'er's talent.

She also didn't expect that a book called "The Art of War" would make her daughter an expert in military strategy. If she were a man, she would definitely be able to make a name for herself on the battlefield.

If fighting on the battlefield is her dream, then as parents, we cannot stop our child.

"Chen'er, mother knows you can't make the decision. How about this, you bring Jin'er to the palace and ask to see His Majesty, and let him make the decision. This way you won't be guilty of deceiving the emperor."

Bai Chen was stunned. Since his mother supported his second sister so much, did he seem a little too stubborn?

"Mom, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes." Yun Zhihan affirmed, "Jin'er is well-versed in military tactics. If she goes with you, she will not hold you back, but can even give you some pointers."

"Although you are a skilled warrior, you know very little about military tactics and formations. Fighting a war requires not only strength but also strategy, which you lack."

Bai Chen had to admit that his mother was right. He read very little on weekdays. Although he also studied military tactics, he was not well-versed in the art and was far from being able to put it into practice.

"Mother, I understand. My son will bring my second sister to the palace tomorrow."

"it is good."

Yun Zhihan knew that Murong Yan would definitely agree.

But when Bai Jin heard that he would have to go to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow, he became inexplicably anxious. After all, he could not avoid this meeting.

"Mother, does my daughter have to see His Majesty?"

"Of course, only if the emperor knows that you went to the battlefield can he believe everything that happened to you in the future. Otherwise, who would believe it if you fabricated facts out of thin air?"

"Yeah, that's right." Bai Jin accepted this fact. She prayed silently, hoping that the emperor would agree to her request.

……

The next day.

After all the officials left the court, Bai Chen took Bai Jin to the palace to meet the emperor.

In the Qianqing Palace, Murong Yan was reviewing memorials.

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Chunzi came to report.

"speak!"

"Commander Xie and Miss Xie request a meeting."

"Miss Xie?" Murong Yan raised his head instantly and asked, "Is it Miss Bai Jin?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Please come quickly."

"Yes!" Seeing His Majesty's excitement, Xiao Chunzi knew that the emperor still had a place for Miss Bai Jin in his heart.

After a while, the two entered the hall.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Xie Baijin greets His Majesty."

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Why are Commander Xie and Miss Bai Jin here together?"

Murong Yan was extremely excited. He thought that Miss Bai Jin must have missed him for a long time, so she resorted to this desperate measure.

But as soon as Bo Chen opened his mouth, he gave up the idea.

"Your Majesty, my sister has something that I would like to ask Your Majesty to decide. She wants to go to the battlefield with me."

Murong Yan thought he had heard it wrong and was stunned for a long time before he could recover.

"Commander Xie, do you know what you are talking about?"

Of course he knew, so he repeated, "My sister wants to go with me to the battle, I hope Your Majesty will agree."

Murong Yan immediately looked at Xie Baijin, "Miss Xie, if you feel threatened, just blink."

Bai Jin rolled his eyes silently in his heart. Has the emperor read too many storybooks?

"Your Majesty, what Commander Xie said is exactly what I wanted to express. I want to go to the war and make great contributions to the Great Zhou." Then, she can fly freely.

"Miss Bai Jin, why is this happening? Are there no more men in our Great Zhou Dynasty? Are you forcing a woman to fight for you now?"

"Your Majesty, women are as brave as men on the battlefield. Although I am not good at martial arts, I know a little about military tactics. Perhaps I can help Commander Xie at a critical moment."

Murong Yan snorted and laughed, then waved his hand and said, "Your skills are just trifles. These theoretical theories will not be of any use on the battlefield."

Facing the emperor's denial, Bai Jin was not anxious, but said calmly, "Your Majesty, please don't rush to deny me. I have some opinions on the conscription plan. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to listen to them?"

Murong Yan did not take it seriously at all. In his mind, Xie Baijin was born in a family of military generals, but she was just an ordinary young lady from a noble family. She had never suffered any hardship since childhood, so how could she go to war?

But he didn't want to hurt her feelings, so he reluctantly agreed, "Then tell me what you think. If I think this plan is feasible, I can make an exception for you."

"Your Majesty, do you mean what you say?"

"You have no joke."

Bai Jin smiled. His words were enough. Next, it was her time to show off.

"I think Commander Xie needs to recruit a new army."

"Of course I know."

"Your Majesty is wise. I believe that when selecting new soldiers, you should give priority to scholars and young, strong, and simple farmers."

"Why? Farmers are fine, fighting is the job of military commanders. What can a bunch of scholars do? Wouldn't they be laughed at by the world?"

"Your Majesty, please do not be anxious. Let me tell you in detail." Bai Jin continued, "I believe that a person's spiritual strength is far greater than his physical strength."

"Though the reckless men who come from the military may be brave for a while, they do not have enough determination and faith in their hearts. Force can support for a while, but faith is the foundation of victory."

"That's why I recommend choosing scholars. As for why I choose simple farmers, I think those people with slick hair and a slick look who have a market or government air are obviously after profit."

"These people value their lives even more. They only think about the money and official positions they can get after the war. They will definitely not fight to the death on the battlefield. If these people go to the battlefield, it will be like adding insult to injury."

"Perhaps the Great Zhou Dynasty has already been defeated before the enemy even makes a move."

After listening to her explanation, Murong Yan was quite shocked. Miss Bai Jin was better than he had imagined.

I thought she was just acting on a whim, but I didn't expect that she already knew the situation in Da Zhou very well, and even the suggestions she put forward were targeted.

He once again confirmed that Miss Bai Jin was the great gift bestowed upon him by God.

Seeing that he had no reaction, Xie Baijin asked, "Does Your Majesty think what I said makes sense?"

"Very reasonable!" Murong Yan affirmed, "When did Miss Bai Jin start thinking about this?"

"Your Majesty, since I started reading The Art of War, I have made some analysis of the military strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Southern Kingdom, and Dongyue. Although it is immature, I can still say a few things."

"How did you come to read The Art of War? Did General Xie teach you?" In his impression, General Xie left very early, so how could he have time to take care of his children?
