Facing the unexpected question from Soujin, Jun Hua blanked for a moment. She forgot that there is one occupation where a female could possibly go to the battlefield, strategist. Although it is still against the norm of Ming Kingdom, but it's not like there aren't any in other kingdom. Even though so, this method is not really popular because women are seen as weaker even in terms of making strategy and normally they would not reach high ranks.
"…Yes."
Soujin looks towards the map once more. "I see. Have you been the one making the strategy for Jun Min?"
Jun Hua doesn't know how to answer this one. If she said yes, it would make her other self looks weaker, but if she said no, it would be a blatant lie. She had always made the strategy herself, with some of them received help from her commander. All in all, they are her makings and decisions.
Soujin looks towards Jun Hua scribble on the paper and he chuckled a bit. The strategy Jun Hua writes on them are some of what he had once thought before, but he chooses not to implement them since they are not really suitable to this battle area. And his own forces might not necessarily able to fight on par with the Kai Kingdom army who specialize on warfare in the forest.
"Your strategy is interesting, but the Kai Kingdom soldiers are the experts on warfare inside the forest, we might not necessarily able to fight on par with them if not trained," Soujin said. He's implying about Jun Min's soldiers since the southeast areas are mountains while the northeast are forest.
"Ah yeah, it's only passing on my head," Jun Hua answered. "With the army is specialized in fighting inside the forest, it will be a huge advantage for them to fight in this area. I think this is one of the reasons they choose to move the fight here."
"One of the reasons? Can you think of others?" Soujin only casually remarked that one. He would never expect that Jun Hua can fluently go through with her way of thinking and said it out loudly. Maybe he can test her a bit?
"This area is the territory of Kai Kingdom, they must have full grasps of this area and fighting in a familiar place brought you more advantages. Besides, there are also psychological effects on the enemy as they are inside the enemy territory, they would afraid of the hidden trap that the other party possibly launched. This will limit the soldier's movement…"
Jun Hua keeps on talking about many things while Soujin listened carefully. Jun Hua always share her thoughts to her uncle if they are going to the war together which makes her familiar with saying her thoughts out in a clear and straight manner. This habit has caused her to subconsciously answer when Soujin asks her.
By the time she's done, Jun Hua realized that this is not her usual place and the one in front of her is Soujin, not her uncle. Jun Hua wants to hide herself. What had I done?
Soujin smiled upon hearing Jun Hua clear explanation on her points. He would never think that a noble girl can think things so carefully and systematically to the point that he would feel awed, even more so, a girl with such a bad reputation like Jun Hua.
Looking at the smiling face of Soujin, Jun Hua is startled for a second. This man is already so handsome and when he smiled genuinely, his face look even more stunning. Even her that won't usually move by a handsome face still feels a bit stunned.
"You're amazing, Jun Hua."
"Thank… Thank you General Soujin."
Soujin stared at the map. "But still, that kind of things won't make us stay low. There are things we can do to strike them."
Jun Hua still hadn't found the right strategies she could use thought. The battle was originally not hers and she's only doing this out of habit. She was planning to talk about it with Soujin as Jun Min, but the plans should changes now because she had met him as Jun Hua.
"Then, does General Soujin have any plan?" Jun Hua asks. She does want to know and since she had partially exposed herself of being in the battlefield, there is nothing wrong in asking.
Soujin nodded. "If they keep on running away, then the only way to make them fight us is by force."
"How do you plan to force them?" Jun Hua asks. That was one of the things she had been thinking about. How can they make the Kai Kingdom wants to turn their head towards them and not continue running away?
"You will know later. If you want to know, try to look at your picture again, you might not get the chance to see it again later."
Originally, Soujin wants to talk with Jun Hua more, but he sensed that Jun Min guard has come. With that, he chooses to leave her with that message and didn't bother with the little girl anymore. If there is time in the future, he would like to talk more with her.
Jun Hua watches Soujin back as the general leaves. Somehow, she got a feeling that she knows what the other party means, but it's truly an awful plan. Regardless, she's not one to stop him with his plan if he wants to.
Yamin appeared not long after that. "Miss…?"
Jun Hua knows that Yamin must have seen Soujin coming out from this tent. What can she say? Even if the two of them are still watching guards, they might not be able to warn her on time given Soujin high ability and all.
"Just give the report of what you find around here."
"Yes…"
Soujin walks to his tent. "Lou, come out!"
A man suddenly appeared before Soujin. He's dressed in black, just like what Yamin and Yasha usually dressed. Upon his arrival, he bowed deeply, "Young Master."
"Send my order, let's destroy this place."
"Yes."
