However, I have already sent people to Henan Road to train troops. There are 100,000 soldiers there. After they are trained, they can be sent to Youyun first.
The remaining 900,000 troops will be sent to the front as soon as they are effective."
The dangerous situation faced by Youyun has surpassed that of Hangu Pass.
Therefore, as the Minister of War, he naturally had to use every person to the best of his ability.
Go wherever you are needed.
Daji said, "I'll leave this matter to you."
She doesn't know much about military affairs.
In extraordinary times, she could only rely on Cao Cao.
Fortunately, he and Qin Hui were not on good terms.
In recent times, Daji has also been secretly supporting Qin Hui's position in the court.
Only with Qin Hui checking Cao Cao could one family prevent itself from becoming the dominant power.
There is no way around it.
This is the only way to do things from the Queen's perspective.
...
Dark clouds.
On the surface, the armies of Li Mu and Lian Po were still attacking the two states of Youyun.
In fact, these two big guys have already started meeting privately.
This was the first real meeting between the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief of Jin State since the war began.
After meeting each other, they did not exchange unnecessary pleasantries, but instead turned to discuss the current war.

Li Mu clasped his fists and said, "Marshal, Yunzhou and Shuozhou are mutually supportive, and Shuozhou is the northwest gateway of the Qin Empire.
What I mean is to send a surprise force to capture Shuozhou and then encircle Yunzhou.
Even if we can't take Yunzhou, it doesn't matter. At that time, our army can turn around from Shuozhou and completely invade the heartland of Qin."
This strategy is similar to the one they used when they attacked Pingzhou.
However, the only difference is that after taking Pingzhou, they can only continue to attack Youzhou.
If they took Shuozhou, what awaited them would be the more fertile land of the Qin Dynasty.
"Who is the commander of Shuozhou now?" Lian Po asked.
Li Mu said: "The Qin general who originally defended Shuozhou was a general under Yan Wang Zhu Di, named Zhang Wu.
However, just yesterday, Bai Qi was officially appointed as the deputy commander of the Qin army by Zhu Di.
Afterwards, Bai Qi sent two generals named Cao Ren and Le Jin to Shuozhou."
Lian Po frowned slightly. "It seems that the enemy is also on guard against our army's sneak attack on Shuozhou. If that's the case, do we still have to attack Shuozhou?"
