His father had just passed away, his great hatred had not yet been avenged, his foundation was not stable, and now he was facing a dangerous situation with an extremely powerful enemy. He felt the pressure on his shoulders was as heavy as a mountain.
Zhao Muyun's gaze was still fixed on the map of Jinyang City, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, making a regular tapping sound.
For a moment, the only sounds in the tent were this voice and the heavy breathing of everyone.
"The Tartars' move was exactly what I expected."
Zhao Muyun finally spoke, his voice steady, without a trace of panic. "They want me to lose my composure and return to rescue, or divide my forces to resist, thereby reducing the pressure on Jinyang, or even finding an opportunity to defeat us in a field battle."
He raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the crowd in the tent, finally landing on Yinji: "Prince, Mr. Zhou, generals, the more we are at this moment, the more we must not panic. Jinyang is the key to determining the fate of Hedong!"

A hint of approval flashed in Zhao Muyun's eyes, and he immediately ordered:
"Order the entire army to expedite preparations! At dawn tomorrow, break camp and march towards Jinyang!"
"At the same time, send someone to urge General Xiao Cheyun and tell him that the general attack is imminent and the actions within the city must be accelerated! Internal and external support will be needed in the coming days!"
