"Eight hundred miles, rush!"
Just as the emperor was about to speak, another messenger came in.
"Tell me? Is it the border army approaching? How many troops does the enemy have this time?" The emperor has become indifferent and calm. Could anything be worse than this?
"Your Majesty, the Fuso Kingdom has led an army of 200,000 troops to the border. General Zhenyuan pleads with Your Majesty to send reinforcements. He is afraid that he will not be able to suppress the enemy and the border will be lost." said the messenger.
"I understand. Go to the Imperial Hospital and let the imperial physician take a look," said the emperor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the messenger said and went to the Imperial Hospital.
"My dear ministers..."
"Eight hundred miles, urgent!" Another messenger interrupted the emperor.
When the ministers heard the urgent message of 800 miles, they collectively stumbled. Their faces showed despair and collapse. This was God's will to destroy the Great Jin.
"Tell me, which country's troops are approaching? How many troops do they have?" The emperor asked the messenger lifelessly.
"Your Majesty, the Yan Chi Kingdom has sent an army of 200,000 to the border. General Wan is preparing fortifications and preparing for a decisive battle with the Yan Chi Kingdom. He will not allow the Yan Chi army to breach the city gates.
They will defend their position to the death. If the Yan Chi army wants to enter Jinghua County, they will have to step over their corpses. They will live and die with the city gate.
"But our army only has a mere 100,000 soldiers, and we've sent 5,000 soldiers to evacuate civilians to Yongzhou County. The disparity in strength is even greater. I implore Your Majesty to send reinforcements!" said the messenger.
"What? The Yan Chi army is invading?" Shangguan Feiyun asked in disbelief.
The border where Yan Chijun is located is exactly the border that Shangguan Feiyun has been guarding.
During those years, he guarded the border, and the four nearby countries: Yanchi, Dabian, Longxi and Dashuo were always suppressed and beaten by him, and had no ability to fight back.
On the contrary, other borders were ready to move, so he sent 60,000 troops to other borders, leaving only 100,000 soldiers on his side.
"Yes, but it's strange. Our people found out that after the Fusang envoy left, the Yan Chi army marched on the border.
General Wan suspected that Fusang was seeking to provoke a war and seek Yan Chi as an ally to attack our Great Jin. The messenger relayed General Wan's suspicions.
"I understand. Go to the Imperial Hospital to check your injuries, rest a bit, and then come with us," Shangguan Feiyun said.
Now everything is clear. Fusang hates them for blowing up the palace and wants to find allies to attack Jin so that they can plunder Jin's money to fill their empty treasury.
Dayuan, Yanchi, and the United States of America were his chess pieces, but also his sharp knives. They would help him crush Dajin, and then he would deal with them and take Dajin for himself.
What a vicious plan, he won't let him succeed.
"Yes, Your Highness!" The messenger said and went to the Imperial Hospital.
"My dear ministers, now you know the situation. Which minister is willing to lead the army to drive them away and ensure peace for the people of Dajin?" The emperor looked at his ministers and asked them.
"This, this, this." The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to speak out.
The battlefield is ever-changing and one can lose one's life at any moment. These weak and powerless civil servants certainly wouldn't dare to put on armor and go to the battlefield.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to fight, drive them away, and keep the Great Jin prosperous." The Duke of Protector of the Country stepped forward and asked for a fight!
"I am also willing to lead the troops to fight, drive them away, and ensure peace for the people of the Great Jin." said the brave general.
"I am also willing to lead the troops to fight, drive away the enemy, and bring peace to the Jin Dynasty." Marquis Dingbei stood up and asked for a fight!
"Your son is willing to lead the troops to fight, drive away the enemy and recover the lost territory." Shangguan Feiyun stood up and said to the emperor.
"Good, good, you are indeed a good man of Dajin.
"Let's discuss who is the most suitable person to send to the four border checkpoints?" the emperor said excitedly and gratified.
The four borders were under attack from large armies, and he needed to send four teams of soldiers to reinforce them. He was really afraid that no minister would be willing to lead the troops.
So, the ministers analyzed the combat capabilities of those countries to decide which minister would lead the troops to fight.
After discussing for half an hour, it was finally decided that Shangguan Feiyun would lead an army of 100,000 to stop the United States of America.
The Duke of Huguo led an army of 100,000 to the border to join General Zhenyuan to fight against the Husang Kingdom and drive them away.
Marquis Dingbei led an army of 100,000 to join General Wu in fighting against Dayuan.
The brave general led an army of 100,000 to join forces with General Wan to fight against the Yan Chi army.
They left behind an army of 100,000 to guard the capital, fearing that other countries would take advantage of the situation and attack the capital.
The emperor asked them to go back, reorganize the soldiers, and set off the day after tomorrow.
The ministers left the palace in melancholy, and the capital was shrouded in gloom.
The people saw four horses running on the street today. They knew the people on the horses: messengers. Messengers would only appear in the capital when something happened at the border.
The simultaneous appearance of four heralds in the capital meant that something had happened at all four border crossings. Many people thought so, and everyone was worried and anxious.
Shangguan Feiyun followed the emperor to the imperial study.
“Father, I need to discuss this matter with Yun’er and see what suggestions she has.
Also, could you please take out some of those grenades?" Shangguan Feiyun said to the emperor.
"Yes, grenades! Is Yun'er in the Princess's Mansion?
I'll go with you." Thinking of the power of the grenade he saw last time, a smile appeared on Yin Huo's face.
"Father, Yun'er took the children to play in the suburbs. I went to find her and will bring her to the palace to discuss with you tonight," said Shangguan Feiyun.
"Okay! Go soon and come back. We will set off the day after tomorrow." Although the emperor was a little disappointed, he felt better when he thought that he would be able to see her tonight.
Shangguan Feiyun left the palace and rode at full speed to the suburbs.
