Now, Dongning also has such weapons. Can its army of two to three hundred thousand defeat the army of Prince Xin who is defending Yuguan City?
Li Ming frowned and asked, "Song Xianze, do the rebels in Dongning have muskets and cannons?"
Can we capture Yuguan City and defeat the Dongning rebels?
What if we fail to capture Yuguan?
"Your Majesty, rest assured!"
Song Xianze squinted his triangular eyes and said, "Just in case, we can rely on external forces!"
"external force?"
Li Ming frowned slightly and asked, "Are you referring to the grassland bandits?"
"It's not just grassland bandits."
Song Xianze chuckled and said, "Besides the grassland bandits in the north, there are also the Silla people in the south!"

Li Ming's eyes widened, and he said with a smile, "Come, Mr. Song, get up."
"How can we offer concessions to the grassland bandits and the Silla people so they will help us?"
"His Majesty,"
Song Xianze smiled mysteriously and said, "Dongning is a land of bitter cold and barrenness."

"Your Majesty, please entrust this matter to me!"
"Okay, okay!"
Li Ming said "good" three times in a row, and said, "If you do a good job, I will reward you handsomely!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
