Right Prime Minister Fan Ziyong then said, "Your Majesty, the Left Prime Minister's words make sense. We should quickly mobilize the garrison troops from the counties near the capital to the eight major passes.
In addition, we must quickly dispatch more imperial guards to the eight major checkpoints, and recruit as many local militia as possible from the various counties of the capital and within the capital itself to help defend the city."
In addition to the capital city, the capital of Liang State also had jurisdiction over five counties distributed around the capital city.
Given the location of these five county towns, they are equivalent to the last line of defense outside the capital.
If you want to attack the capital, you must first conquer one of the county towns to open the road to the capital.
Emperor Chen Xun nodded slightly and said, "With the two of you here, I believe the rebels will not be able to enter the capital.
However, I hope not only to keep the rebels out of the capital, I want to destroy the Jiang family's rebel army in Fuzhou, as well as the 400,000 Xianbei cavalry and 400,000 Khitan cavalry who aided and abetted the tyrant."
The Left Prime Minister Lu Zeng and the Right Prime Minister Fan Ziyong glanced at each other, and then the Left Prime Minister Lu Zeng said, "Your Majesty, if we want to destroy the rebels, including the 400,000 Xianbei cavalry and the 400,000 Khitan cavalry, we must rely on the Zhenxi Marquis to lead his troops to support us.
However, news has come from Xizhou that the Marquis of Zhenxi is currently leading his army in a fierce battle with the Songfan Kingdom in the plateau region. I'm afraid the Marquis of Zhenxi won't be able to arrive in time."
Emperor Chen Xun then said, "Since the Zhenxi Army from Xizhou cannot come, then let the Zhennan Army from Lianzhou come to the rescue.
Send an imperial edict to the protectorates of each state. I, Daliang, have millions of troops. I don't believe I can't destroy the rebels of the Jiang family in Fuzhou!"
Right Prime Minister Fan Ziyong hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I am worried that after the imperial edict is issued, many protectorates will not obey it, including the Zhennan Army."
Emperor Chen Xun waved his hand and said, "We can't worry about so many things at this time. As many as can come, let them come. At least the border troops controlled by the court will obey the order and come to the rescue."
