Chapter 311 Leading Troops into Battle

"Xuan Youfeng enters the palace!"

As soon as Emperor Changlong gave the order, Eunuch Wang immediately took action.

Song Siyao entered the palace as quickly as possible and met Emperor Changlong in the imperial study.

"Youfeng, Jinfeng City is in dire need of help!" Emperor Changlong handed the urgent letter, delivered by express messenger, to Song Siyao.

Song Siyao took it and saw that it was similar to the letter that Tianji Pavilion had sent her.

The State of Wu sent troops to attack Jinfeng City, and Jinfeng City has already fallen.

In addition, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion also revealed another secret to her: the Yan Kingdom was also involved in the Wu Kingdom's attack on the Great Zhou Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, I request permission to lead troops into battle and defeat the enemy!" Song Siyao volunteered.

Emperor Changlong did not support Song Siyao as he had in the past. "Youfeng, this time you will be in charge of devising strategies. I will let others lead the troops into battle."

“Your Majesty, the battlefield is ever-changing. No matter how meticulous our plans are here, they may not be of any use on the battlefield,” Song Siyao explained.

“Youfeng, it’s not that I don’t want you to go to the battlefield, it’s that you’ve been working so hard, and I want you to rest.”

Emperor Changlong recalled what Consort Yue had said: Song Siyao was a woman, and also Shen Pei's fiancée.

Her task is to assist Shen Pei and raise their children in the future.

The battlefield is so dangerous. If she, a woman, were to lead troops into battle and something were to happen, not only would the Great Zhou lose a talented general, but Shen Pei would also be very saddened.

Emperor Changlong took these words to heart; he genuinely wanted to protect Song Siyao.

Especially after the incident involving the fake emperor, only Song Siyao recognized him. Song Siyao single-handedly thwarted the Prince of Ping's conspiracy and protected him. He would not allow any mishap to happen to Song Siyao.

"Your Majesty, I am a subject of the Great Zhou. We are all interconnected. Only when the world is at peace and the country is prosperous can I have a proper rest."

Song Siyao pleaded once again, "Your Majesty, please grant me permission to lead troops into battle. I hereby pledge that if I fail to defeat the enemy, I will submit to Your Majesty's judgment!"

Emperor Changlong looked at Song Siyao, his heart filled with guilt. "Youfeng, when the Great Zhou is in danger, you are always at the forefront. I cannot only care about the people of the world and ignore your life and death."

"Your Majesty, the rise and fall of the nation is the responsibility of every citizen. If everyone only cares about themselves, in the end, no one will be able to protect us."

Song Siyao had already guessed what Emperor Changlong might have believed, but she didn't expose it. She continued to persuade Emperor Changlong, "Your Majesty, I have long since disregarded my own life. The military situation is urgent, and the people on the border cannot wait. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to lead troops to the frontier to rescue the people!"

She believed that Emperor Changlong truly wanted to protect her.

And who is behind that?

What are they thinking, preventing her from going to the battlefield?

Emperor Changlong was a wise and benevolent ruler. Thinking of the people on the border who were still suffering, he did not hesitate and immediately gave the order, "Princess Youfeng, listen to my command!"

"Your subject is here!"

"I command you to lead 100,000 soldiers and set off immediately for Jinfeng City to recapture the city and defeat the enemy!"

"This humble woman guarantees to complete the mission!" Song Siyao bowed and accepted the order.

"Go, Youfeng, I await your good news." Emperor Changlong looked at Song Siyao with a face full of relief. "On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, so be sure to protect yourself."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Song Siyao left the imperial study, exited the palace, and went directly back to the Zhenbei Marquis's residence.

She instructed Cang Yue, "Cang Yue, have Miss Jiang come to see me."

"Yes, princess."

In less than fifteen minutes, Jiang Hexia appeared in front of Song Siyao.

"Xiaxia, I have a task for you now..." Song Siyao said, looking at Jiang Hexia.
