Yao Guangxiao echoed, "Your Highness, I have heard that under Lian Po's command, there is a fierce general with unmatched courage. His name is Li Cunxiao.
If Your Highness were to send troops to aid Yunzhou, I'm afraid he would need to send a capable general to handle the situation."
"Li Cunxiao?"
Zhu Di frowned and said, "I only brought 150,000 troops to support Yunzhou, but I'm afraid it won't be possible in a short time.
Your Majesty's intention is to let us take advantage of the favorable terrain and fight while retreating. As long as we can delay the enemy's offensive, once reinforcements arrive, it will be time for our army to counterattack."
Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together, faced the direction of Xianyang, and murmured, "Amitabha, Your Majesty is truly a wise ruler."
Seeing this, Zhu Di smiled and said, "Your Majesty is almost at Hangu Pass now, so Master, you must head towards Hangu Pass and pay your respects to His Majesty."
Yao Guangxiao smiled helplessly and said, "In fact, it is a good thing that Your Majesty is leading the army in person. As long as Your Majesty is in charge of the overall situation, our Great Qin will not be in chaos.
As long as there is no chaos and Xianyang is safe, our army will have enough time to deal with the enemy.
By then, Jin will be facing numerous challenges and will certainly not leave its troops here to fight to the death with our army."
Zhu Di nodded and said, "This is also my idea. Moreover, the strategy that Your Majesty asked me to use against the enemy should also be considered from this perspective.
However, what I want is far more than just to keep the enemy out in the wild. I want them to be defeated in Youyun.
So that they know that my Youyun, your majesty’s Youyun, is not something they can just come to whenever they want.”
At this moment, a soldier dressed as a guard slowly came to Zhu Di and bowed, saying:
"Your Majesty, since the princess knew you were back, she wanted to come and see you, but she is not feeling well and cannot leave.
So the princess asked me to ask you if you would like to have dinner at your residence tonight?"
Princess Xu Miaoyun of Prince Yan was the daughter of Xu Da in Ying Yuan's previous life.
It is still the same today.
However, in this world, Xu Da was a famous general during the previous emperor's time, and later died suddenly of illness.
Xu Miaoyun is about twelve or thirteen years older than Ying Yuan.
Later, she was granted marriage by the late emperor and married to Zhu Di.
When Ying Yuan was young, Xu Miaoyun often went in and out of the palace.
He had a good relationship with Empress Zhenyi.
However, due to the huge age difference between Xu Miaoyun and Ying Yuan, Empress Zhenyi did not consider letting Xu Miaoyun marry Ying Yuan.
The latter didn't have any feelings for her either.
Even during the years they spent together in the palace, Ying Yuan only called her "sister".
When the previous emperor passed away, it was Xu Miaoyun who suggested that Zhu Di lead his troops into the capital to protect Ying Yuan from ascending the throne.
In this way, Ying Chengjiao and Lu Zhi at that time did not have any chance to stir up trouble.
As of now, Xu Miaoyun and Ying Yuan have long lost contact, but Daji has close contact with the princesses, and the two often exchange letters.
Daji did this for Ying Yuan.
