In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

"...Four months is enough."

General Li beside him said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, at worst we can start preparing now and set up ambushes in Qingzhou, Pingzhou, and Zhaozhou in advance, right?"

Thinking of this, the emperor closed his eyes, nodded, sighed and said: "How about this, I will let each of you lead your troops secretly when we recruit them later."

"But this time, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, we cannot send a few generals to lead the troops. Instead, we should send a few dukes and a few civil officials to lead the troops."

"General Chang will go to Qingzhou later because he wants to teach martial arts to the daughters of the Marquis of Anguo family..."

"On the surface, he was sent to Qingzhou to teach the daughters of the Marquis of Anguo, but in reality, he was sent to Qingzhou to secretly lead 2 troops and station them in several counties in Qingzhou that were close to the Turks."

"If we encounter a situation, it will be convenient to attack at that time."

"General Chang can do it, but he is old... I'm afraid he is the only one who can't do it."

Duke Anguo stepped forward and said, "I also fought in wars ten years ago, but I haven't fought in recent years. How about this, I will go first."

The emperor nodded and agreed: "Okay, then let you go, and you will lead another 20,000 troops."

"However, you should tell others that you went to Qingzhou to look for your long-lost son. Don't you have a long-lost son named Gu Liang?"

"..."

When Duke Anguo heard this, his expression became a little unnatural, and he felt a little disappointed in his heart: Yes, he had a son who had been lost for many years, and this was just the right excuse.

He could probably use this excuse to move around and even go to other states and counties.

At this time, I really don’t know what to say.

At this moment, Duke Anguo might still be feeling fortunate in his heart... Fortunately, he had a son who had been lost for many years and had never been recognized and brought home.

Only in this way can the children of millions of people be saved.

"..."

The emperor said to General Murong and General Li, "Generals, when you get the news, lead 50,000 troops to support Qingzhou in time."

The two generals nodded hurriedly.

The emperor then ordered: "Let Lie Zhao and Qing Ze go to Pingzhou. It would be more appropriate for them to lead a total of 3 troops."

"Lie Zhao has been practicing martial arts for many years and is very experienced. He has also served in the army before and fought against King Cheng in Liang Province."

"... Qingze is the same. He is a very smart child and is suitable to be a military advisor. There are many places bordering the Turks over there, so it is more appropriate for him to lead 3 troops."

As for the commander over there, the emperor hesitated for a while and decided: "Let Pei Huizhou go."

"However, Pei Huizhou has something else to do in Kyoto, so we won't let him go for now. We'll let him go when the war starts."

"Let's have another general, General Shi."

"If there is a war over there, General Shi and Lord Pei, you two can go there together."

At this time, Pei Huizhou was not there. Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

"Tell the Crown Prince to pass the message to Pei Huizhou later."

The prince nodded and took note of it silently.

Then the emperor continued: "As for the place called Zhaozhou..."

The emperor thought for a while and said, "This place borders the Turks the most. Let's discuss it later."

When everyone heard this, they all nodded.

After explaining everything, the emperor sighed to everyone, "This time the army will be mobilized, at least 100,000 soldiers and horses will be needed."

"Since we have 20 soldiers, we must start preparing the food, weapons, and military supplies needed for 20 soldiers. At least taels will be needed."

"This is just the money needed to settle accounts for half a year."

The prince laughed, "...it would take 20 taels to pay for half a year, which is indeed a considerable sum."

When the prince heard this, he said directly to the emperor: "Now we will prepare secretly, and it will probably take a few months to prepare 20 taels."

"Therefore, if the national treasury takes out 20 taels in a short period of time, it will inevitably arouse suspicion."

"What if we have Turkic spies here? Wouldn't they find out? We have already started secretly preparing for war. What if they attack us in advance?"

"So I suggest that you don't take the money from the national treasury. I suggest... take the money from the Bai family's storehouse."

When the emperor heard that they were going to take the silver from the Bai family's storehouse, his expression immediately brightened. He nodded and said to the prince, "To be honest, I'm really sorry for you mothers."

"It's not easy for the queen to save this much money, and it's not easy for your uncle to manage this money either."

"..."

The prince's eyes flashed, and he said to the emperor: "I believe my mother, uncle, and my cousins ​​from the Bai family are all very happy."

"If your Majesty has such thoughts in your mind, I think it is really wrong."

"My mother is the mother of the country. She only cares about the peace of the country and the stability of the harem. Although she doesn't understand what's going on outside, she is happy to see that my father is happy."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

Then the prince continued, "Although my uncle did some wrong things, he still has a clear mind on the big issues. If he knew that the country was in danger, he would definitely be willing to take the money."

"And my cousins ​​from the Bai family, Brother Chu Yao, have been working hard for the country and the people. His colleagues all say that he is very smart, has the virtues of a prime minister, and is very smooth."

"My second and third cousins ​​both fought their way through the battlefield. They also made a lot of contributions in the previous battle when they became king. They all hope that the world will be stable."

Hearing this, the emperor was delighted and nodded, saying, "You are all loyal to the emperor and the country, and you are all loyal subjects! You are all very good."

"How about this, I will immediately reinstate your uncle and promote your eldest, second, and third cousins."
