Fu Yue, standing to the side, was extremely shocked: "Your Majesty is so knowledgeable about the terrain of the Qiang region. How did you find out?"

Zu'an was speechless for a moment. He wanted to say that he had sent someone else to gather intelligence, but Fu Yue was his trusted minister, and such an action might not be able to deceive him. So he changed his story: "These days I dreamed of a god while sleeping, and he taught me these things."

Fu Yue was overjoyed: "Hahaha, a divine being appeared in my dream! It seems that Heaven is blessing Your Majesty and my Great Shang Dynasty. This expedition will surely be a triumphant one!"

Zuan looked strange. He had been worried that such a claim wouldn't fool people, but he hadn't expected that people in this superstitious era would be so easily fooled.

After the joy subsided, Fu Yue suddenly thought of something: "Now there is another problem. The selection of generals for the expedition requires the high priest to pray to heaven and see the will of the gods. The high priests are people from the old noble families. If they interfere, the queen may not be able to go to war smoothly."

Zuan snorted: "Since I received a dream from the gods, it's clear that the gods are protecting me. Let's spread this news and see if they dare to go against the gods."

Fu Yue's eyes lit up: "This plan is brilliant! We can also spread those mountain and river maps that Your Majesty just mentioned, and use them as evidence. First, it will prevent the High Priest from interfering, and second, it will boost the morale of the army. This mission will be half successful."

Zu An had an idea: "Just drawing a picture may not be intuitive. We can make a sand table to show the situation to all the soldiers."

"A sand table?" Fu said, somewhat puzzled.

Zuan then gave a general explanation of the form and principles of the sand table. Fu Yue repeatedly praised it, saying, "Your Majesty is indeed wise. After the Queen's victory in this campaign, you can take advantage of the situation to make her the High Priestess. In this way, you can also take back the right to interpret the divine authority. Your Majesty's long-cherished wish will surely be fulfilled soon."

Pei Mianman gazed at him tenderly with her beautiful eyes. This man had given her so many surprises. She had never heard of such a wonderful idea as a sand table before, but she could easily imagine how much of a role it could play on the battlefield.

Feeling that everything was going very well, Zuan secretly pondered that, in the end, it was because he was a time traveler standing on the shoulders of giants, and he also happened to be familiar with this period of history, which allowed him to inadvertently resolve many crises in advance.

The couples who came to participate in the trial before, no matter how talented they were, were completely clueless about the situation in the Shang Dynasty. They might not even be able to pass the test of the high priest, let alone go to war against the powerful Qiang.
