Jiang Xueying took out the wrapped rice paper and the wolf-hair brush in her hand, found a large stone with a slightly flat surface, put a soft felt pad on it, held the wolf-hair brush, and slowly waved the brush according to her memory and slightly vague impression, drawing the route in the mountains and part of the defense of the bandit's lair.
She had sneaked in several times before, and was very familiar with the route. She could also remember some parts of the village.
Ink was splashed on the white rice paper, spreading out into black flowers, gradually forming a clear topographic map, and marking the locations and key areas of the bandit's lair with special marks.
After completing this task, Jiang Xueying breathed a sigh of relief and handed the paper to Yu Feng.
Yu Feng had been observing Jiang Xueying's movements. Seeing her draw the map so smoothly, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He glanced at Jiang Xueying with his deep eyes, then took it and looked at it carefully.
He had explored the terrain of the mountain before and knew that the general route on the map was correct. Moreover, every detail was marked very clearly, even more detailed than he knew.
The leader saw that the blueprint had been drawn and Yu Feng had looked at it without questioning it, which meant that the map was accurate, so he started to ask.
"General Yu, what should we do next?"
They have been stationed here for more than ten days. If they don't take action, their fighting spirit will be completely exhausted.
"It seems that we must carefully plan where to attack from, and at that time we must ensure that the people they kidnapped can be safely evacuated."
"Hmm... from this place?"
The leader pointed to the northwest corner, where a red mark was drawn.
"We are in this position now. If we send a team to attack from the northwest and another team to support from the northeast, if everything goes well, we should be able to reduce casualties and ensure subsequent evacuation."
Yu Feng nodded. He also felt that this was reasonable and the safest way. After all, their main task was to rescue the trapped hostages first, and then it would be easy to deal with the bandits.
However, Jiang Xueying frowned in disapproval. Her experience as a killer in her previous life told her that their strategy had major shortcomings.
Jiang Xueying looked at Yu Feng firmly with her beautiful eyes.
"Everyone, I think it's absolutely impossible to attack like this!"
Yu Feng was stunned when he heard this. He looked up at Jiang Xueying, who was affectionate and serious, and raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically, finding her suggestion funny.
"What do you, a woman, know?"
I brought her here just to let her draw a map for reference. It's not her turn to interfere in other matters.
Jiang Xueying was not intimidated by his aura at all. Instead, she met his mocking gaze calmly with a subtle curve at the corner of her lips.
"Your Excellency is wrong. Although I am just a country woman, I know a thing or two about military tactics and have read many military books. This method may seem perfect, but in fact it has a big loophole."
Yu Feng pursed his lips in confusion, looking at Jiang Xueying with a smile on her lips. Art of War? She knows about it? Is it just theory?
The others also looked at each other, and saw disdain in each other's eyes. They all thought that a woman's claim that she understood military tactics and had read military books was all fabricated and exaggerated, and could not be trusted.
"Okay, okay, it seems that I was watching people through the crack in the door. Can you tell me what the loophole is?"
Jiang Xueying sighed, clearly seeing the suspicion in everyone's eyes. She didn't bother with them at this moment, and turned around to draw a small circle at a point on the drawing.
"If you follow your strategy just now and the other side sets a trap in the middle, I'm afraid you will be wiped out."
The leader suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Although our method seems to have reinforcements from both sides, as long as the enemy lures us into a trap, they can easily surround us and capture us in one fell swoop."
"That's right, Miss Jiang, you are really smart. If you were born a man, you would definitely be a military leader."
Yu Feng's eyes were fixed on the map. While he was surprised, he also admired Jiang Xueying's foresight. She saw the loophole in the plan at a glance. Was it just an accident or...
In the subsequent process, he changed his prejudice against Jiang Xueying and appreciated her more, especially when formulating battle plans, Jiang Xueying could always point out the key points and fill in the gaps, which made people suddenly see the light.
Afterwards, Jiang Xueying clearly felt that Yu Feng and his men became friendlier towards her. It seemed that she had to show them her real abilities before they would be convinced.
As night falls, the night sky gradually merges with the sky, giving it a gorgeous coat of stars.
The scenery in the ravine was pleasant, the breeze brought a refreshing feeling, and the camp was very quiet.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Xueying tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. After such a long time, there was still no news from Ye Xiaoyu. Where did she go?
Jiang Xueying became more and more annoyed after hesitating for a long time without falling asleep. She simply sneaked out of the tent, dodged the guards, found a secluded piece of grass, lay down and looked at the starry sky.
Large patches of stars dot the night sky, forming various shapes.
"General Yu!"
What sound?
While she was deep in thought, she suddenly heard someone talking not far away. Jiang Xueying quietly got up and slowly moved towards the source of the sound.
When I looked up from the corner, I saw that it was Yu Feng and the leader from during the day.
"…Have you found the Night Travel Island?"
Yu Feng had his back to Jiang Xueying, so Jiang Xueying couldn't see his expression. She could only guess the emotions of the leaders by their expressions and voices.
Ye Xingzhou? The child's father? Isn't Yu Feng a good friend of Ye Xingzhou? Why would he send people to look for him?
"Not yet, but I am trying my best to find it. It is my fault that I haven't found it after so long."
"It's okay. Xingzhou was a general of the previous dynasty. How could he be found so easily? Don't worry. Anyway, the child has been found. Let's finish the things at hand first and then think of a solution."
"yes."
As they spoke, the two men walked towards the tent in silence.
Only after watching them walk into the tent did Jiang Xueying dare to come out from behind the woods. She looked at the tent with flickering lights with sparkling eyes, a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
Ye Xingzhou is actually a general of the previous dynasty?
Jiang Xueying was a little surprised at Ye Xingzhou's identity. She remembered that when she first came, she saw two children desperately protecting the gold medal given by Ye Xingzhou. At that time, she knew that Ye Xingzhou must not be an ordinary person, but she didn't expect that he had such an identity.
