The Han Empire.

Chang'an Weiyang Palace.

The Han emperor asked his eunuch, "Hun Deng, is there any news now?"

"Your Majesty, the soul lamp suddenly lit up. What's even more bizarre is that we have been investigating for so long, but still haven't found a specific direction. We don't know where it is hiding."

"But Your Majesty, in my opinion, it may not be long."

"It's just that... the people from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau recently divined some news."

"What?" The Emperor of Han had a calm expression, as if everything was very normal to him and he didn't need to worry about it.

"Your Majesty, it's like this. Some time ago, someone from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau was divining the fate of the Great Zhou. The result was that their fate was almost over and there was no way to turn things around."

"But now, the luck of the Great Zhou has suddenly returned. I don't know why."

"Furthermore, the fortune of the Great Zhou is actually becoming more and more stable."

"This is indeed beyond our expectations, Your Majesty."

"ah?"

The eunuch's words made the Han emperor suddenly frown.

“It’s unheard of.”

"I have never heard of a dynasty nearing its end suddenly changing for the better."

"Is it because of Liang Jing?"

"It's still because of that eunuch named Lu, but that eunuch is indeed a talented person."

"The ability to save a crumbling building and, crucially, to lead troops into battle, and even to win."

The old eunuch smiled softly, "Your Majesty, perhaps there's something wrong with the divination of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau. We still don't have a conclusion on this matter."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about this. Didn't Du Ruofu kill the Barbarian King? He destroyed the stability among the Barbarian nations and at the same time, he ordered him to send troops to the Great Zhou as soon as possible."

"As long as the border of the Great Zhou is breached, then their luck will surely be shattered at that moment."

"Too."

…

Thousand Swords Pass.

General Xiao He has led his army to the Qianguan City and started training, while they are also waiting for an opportunity.

According to their original expectation, the Barbarian Country would send troops soon.

Who would have known that these Huns had waited for such a long time, and no one knew why.

However, during the waiting time, Xiao He did not let his soldiers idle, but tried his best to make them tense at this time.

Central Army Camp.

Xiao He also received information from the spies.

"According to spies, the Xiongnu army will arrive at our border in three days. Everyone must be prepared and must not make any mistakes."

"The Xiongnu's cavalry is the most formidable force. If their cavalry were to breach our city, the consequences would be even more severe."

"Shangguan Yan, how has the training of your Tiger Guards been going recently?"

Shangguan Yan hurriedly explained, "General Xiao, in recent times, our Huben army has been training diligently without slacking off.

At the same time, we are also following the training method that Eunuch Lu left behind before he left."

"In addition, our bows and crossbows are also constantly being modified."

"That's good."

Xiao He looked very excited.

He hadn't led troops to fight for a long time. This time, he was determined to let the Huns know how powerful their Great Zhou was.

We also need to let those old guys in the court know that they are still young and able to lead troops to fight.

…

Golden City.

Lu Yun also received news that Du Ruofu had desperately assembled a large army and headed for the border of Da Zhou, and the leaders of each tribe had sent out some cavalry.

As for Sun City, more than 10,000 troops were left guarding the empty city. This was indeed an opportunity to attack.

Thinking of this, he quickly found Zhao Youqian and explained to him: "Now, most of the court's troops have followed General Helan Meng to the battlefield to fight."

"There's an opening at the back, which is a big opportunity for us."

"I heard that all the soldiers and horses left behind in the empty city have been handed over to this guy Mu Cang."

"As the General of the Central Army, his job is to protect the safety of the city."

"I see..."

Zhao Youqian didn't have any thoughts. He already had these 20,000 cavalrymen under his command, and their Golden City was so rich that they didn't have to worry about anything else.

In addition, there is Tuotuo Daji, who has been a soldier and a general before.

It would be perfect for him to lead the troops.

"Eunuch Lu, are you sure?"

Lu Yun was stunned for a moment. "We have a good chance of success, but we still have a problem."

"What?"

“We should find a way to let as many people in Sun City know the truth as possible, and also let all the tribes know the truth.

If you want to use the princess's name, you must clear the princess of her guilt. At the very least, you must let more people know about it and make them suspicious."

"This..." Zhao Youqian was embarrassed. He scratched his head and couldn't think clearly for a moment. He asked quickly, "I don't quite understand what you mean."

“How can we let more people know about this?”

"Can't we just fight first? We can talk about it after we're done."

"no."

Helpless, Zhao Youqian had to discuss a feasible solution with him.

The best way to deal with this matter is to issue a manifesto and announce it to the world.

Let more people know what the Prime Minister did, and let more people understand that the princess was wronged, and everything was deliberately slandered by someone.

Some people just want to fight for power and become the new Barbarian King.

So, Lu Yun quickly found Bai Xiaoxiao and explained the situation to her.

"You mean, I should write a manifesto myself, right?"

"Do you trust me so much?"

“Of course, this is your business after all, and you are going to conquer the Third Prince, your third brother, in your capacity.

Then you have to write about this matter clearly and with real emotion.”

Bai Xiaoxiao sighed, but she was actually very reluctant.

She wanted revenge, but if she wrote this manifesto in her own name and identity.

Send troops to conquer!

Then, it seems that I will be trapped forever and become a princess tied to a rack forever.

If this thing succeeds, who will take the position of Barbarian King? It seems that there is no one left.

After all, all the princes and grandchildren have been killed, so the only thing left for her is for her to do it.

"Why, you don't want to?"

Although Lu Yun could see the embarrassment in her heart.

Bai Xiaoxiao sighed and explained helplessly: "To be honest, I really don't want to."

"After all, as a woman, I never thought that one day I would be put on this step."
