Dark clouds.
Zhu Di personally led an army of 50,000 to resolve the crisis in Pingzhou.
So he returned to Youzhou without stopping.
Because the princess Xu Miaoyun, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, the counselor Yao Guangxiao and others worked together to resist the foreign enemies, the city was not lost.
Overall, Li Mu lost half the battle.
However, Zhu Di's side also suffered some losses.
What's more, Li Mu was the one attacking the city.
What puzzled Zhu Di and others was that after Li Mu suffered defeat, he did not reorganize his army to continue attacking Youzhou, but temporarily retreated outside the Great Wall.
A few days later, they learned about the alliance between Jin and Chu.
For a moment, the entire Youyun and even Daqin seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds.
Inside Prince Yan's Mansion.
Zhu Di slowly spoke to the crowd, "The first target of the Jin army, numbering one million, must be Youyun. We must be prepared.
Right now, we must recruit troops at all costs to prepare for the coming war."
Yao Guangxiao worriedly said, "Even if we start recruiting soldiers now, how many soldiers can we recruit? Moreover, we still need time to train the soldiers."
"If what the master said is true, then we have already lost this war before it even begins?"
Chen Heng frowned.
It is no secret that since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, it has never faced such a critical situation.
Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. There hasn't been any clear official document issued by the court yet.
If we step in and recruit soldiers and horses, and the court finds out, where will the prince be placed?"
Xu Miaoyun listened carefully and said calmly, "So, we still have to wait for the imperial court's order. But have you ever thought that this time, we are facing a million-strong enemy army?
If we wait for the imperial court's order, it will probably take more than ten days to come back and forth. In this time, we can easily recruit tens of thousands of soldiers."
"Princess, in times of crisis, we must remain calm. The imperial court has already sent 250,000 reinforcements, led personally by Wu'an Jun and Zhao Kuo, one of the Four Generals. Their arrival should be able to temporarily alleviate Youyun's crisis. By then, it won't be too late to recruit more troops."
Yao Guangxiao considered many aspects.
He was Zhu Di's adviser, not the Qin Dynasty's adviser.
Therefore, the first thing he had to consider was what to do to be most beneficial to Zhu Di.
But it was not the Qin Dynasty.
As for the State of Jin, it will take some time to quickly allocate a million troops to attack Youyun.
And this time is an opportunity for Daqin to prepare.
A few days later.
What Ying Yuan said at Hangu Pass reached Xianyang at the fastest speed.
When Daji learned about this, she summoned all the officials to discuss the matter.
She slowly said, “I’m sure you all understand what His Majesty means.
From this moment on, the imperial edict issued by Your Majesty will be announced to the world.
At the same time, I hope you will actively prepare all the supplies needed for the army."
Having said this, she slowly stood up, bowed solemnly and said, "Da Qin, I'll leave it to you all!"
"Your Majesty's words are too serious. Our country is about to be destroyed and our family is about to be ruined. As a Qin citizen, we have no choice but to help!"
Prime Minister Cai was the first to return the greeting.
The others all bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, your words are so sincere!"
At this moment, they have never been as cohesive as they are now.
Perhaps this is a sign that a country is about to become strong.
No matter how great the difficulties and obstacles are, we can be united and fearless.
After the court was dismissed.
Officials from all ministries and departments immediately put the state machinery into operation.
at the same time.
Xuanzheng Hall.
Daji summoned Wei Zhongxian and Lai Junchen.
She looked at the two of them and said earnestly, "His Majesty has treated you well, and you hold the two greatest weapons of the Qin Empire in your hands.
Now that the nation is facing imminent crisis, do you know what you should do most at this moment? "
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged glances, with You Lai Junchen bowing first and responding, "Your Majesty, we understand exactly what you are referring to.
Please rest assured, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, both the Imperial Guard and the Eastern Depot will fulfill their due responsibilities during this national crisis."
Daji nodded and said, "From today on, the people from the East Factory will be responsible for inspecting all officials and noble families. If any official or merchant is found to have an affair with the enemy, they will be killed without mercy.
The Jinyiwei will be responsible for intelligence work targeting the two countries of Jin and Chu. If an emergency arises, you two families can join forces."
At first, she thought that not long after Ying Yuan founded the East Factory, he asked Lai Junchen to form the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
They must be thinking of letting these two organizations check and balance each other.
But things are different nowadays.
We can tacitly allow these two families to join forces, as long as what they do is for the benefit of the Qin Dynasty.
"Please rest assured, Madam, I know what to do."
Wei Zhongxian bowed and said.
He is the emperor's servant.
Live your whole life just for the royal family.
Daji was slightly relieved and said, "I trust you, go and get busy."
Afterwards, Hu Ximei brought a bowl of nourishing soup. Looking at the haggard Daji, she couldn't help but say with concern: "State affairs are busy, you must always take care of yourself.
Now that His Majesty is away on a campaign, all the affairs of the court, big or small, are on your shoulders. If you were to collapse from exhaustion, it would not be a good thing for His Majesty or the court."
Daji said helplessly, "Of course I know. By the way, nothing has happened in this palace recently, right?"
In recent days, she has focused on dealing with the Jin-Chu coalition forces.
