"Your Majesty, I think we should immediately dispatch reinforcements from Yunzhou to form a siege with the Mingzhou defenders. With our military strength, we will be able to completely wipe out this barbarian army within forty days!"
"Forty days?" Li Dushi suddenly sneered.
"Lord Wang, do you know that Mingzhou is suffering from famine? The horses have no fodder, the soldiers have no food and wages, and they can't even respond to the remnants of Zhao Tiangang!"
"If we allow the barbarian army to occupy Youzhou and fight to support the enemy, we may not be able to take it down in 40 days, or even 100 days! What's more..."
His eyes were like lightning, sweeping over everyone present.
"The total strength of the barbarians is far more than 50,000!"
The hall suddenly fell silent.
The faces of several old ministers turned pale.
This means that the situation has really deteriorated to the extreme.
How did a peaceful campaign to quell a rebellion turn into a battle for the fate of the nation?
If things go wrong, I'm afraid hundreds of thousands of troops will be thrown into the battlefield.
Moreover, once the people's hearts are unstable, there will be more and more rebellious forces in various places.
The Qin Dynasty is in danger!
"No... didn't they say that General Xia led the reserve battalion to stop the enemy in the canyon?"

Li Dushi spoke slowly.
"If someone can hold back the barbarian army and prevent them from taking Youzhou so quickly, and buy time for our army to mobilize troops, there may be a chance of a turnaround."
"Is it possible? Zhao Tiangang can't protect himself, he is isolated and has no help, Mingzhou can't come to his aid, although Xia He and Zhao Tiangang have split their forces, but with only a few thousand people, they can't make any waves at all. Who else can do it?"
…
…
At this time, in Yunzhou City.
Shan Ling was dressed in a white robe as white as snow, walking side by side on the street with her younger brother Shan Xiong.
She had just come out of seclusion, and her aura was restrained, with a master-like demeanor in her every move.
"Sister... your breakthrough is too fast. You have already reached the Perfection..."
"I was just preparing to transform my energy... I don't know what realm Xia He is at."
"Humph! He will definitely not be as fast as me this time!"
