The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

At the same time, the Fifth Prince Wu Quan's expression turned somewhat ugly.

The Green Turban Army was secretly orchestrated by him!

But unexpectedly, Jia Daoshi appeared out of nowhere and destroyed his almost perfect plan!

This Jia Daoshi not only stole the woman he had his eye on, but also became his biggest worry!

Therefore, after the Green Turban Army was destroyed, he launched another plan!

In the struggle for the throne, nothing comes faster than military merit.

The Iron Forest Army is still in the southwest. If I lead my troops north to join forces with the Iron Forest Army, there is a high probability that I will be able to stop the Kushan Empire's offensive!

Moreover, given the previous agreements with the Kushan Empire, he was able to obtain some secret support during the war!

If he could lead troops north, he would certainly be able to accumulate some military merits.

As for the gain or loss of Cliff City, or the ownership of the Northwest and Southwest, he didn't care at all.

That godforsaken place is only treasured by that idiot Ming Heying!

What he cares about is the supreme throne!

Thinking of this, Wu Quan said again, "Your Majesty, I believe that we should quickly mobilize troops to join forces with the Iron Forest Army in the southwest to support the Cliff City. It would be best to issue an imperial edict to allow General Ming to fight the enemy together!"

Previously, when the Longwu Dynasty invaded and the Qingjin Army rebelled, you, Ming Heying, remained indifferent. Now that they are about to attack your doorstep, you can't remain indifferent again, can you?

"Even the eldest brother has dispatched the Azure Phoenix messenger, which means the situation in Juebi City has reached an extremely urgent point. The imperial court must provide immediate support, otherwise Juebi City will be in grave danger!"

Wu Quan had barely finished speaking when Wu Jue chimed in, "Your Majesty, I also believe that we must send troops immediately!"

This is such a great opportunity that no prince would want to miss it.

The destruction of the Green Turban Army proves that their great fortune is still intact!

We should seize this momentum and show our strength!

But at this moment, the Left Chancellor suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, this old minister has heard that Commander Jia of the Imperial City Guard and Princess Taiping have gone to the southwest. It was they who, together with General Zhou of the Iron Forest Army, managed to wipe out the Green Turban Army. This Commander Jia is unparalleled in martial arts; he once single-handedly caused the Imperial Blood Droplets Army to suffer heavy losses. This time, why not let Commander Jia go north to repel the enemy? What do you think?"

"The reason I say this is because our army cannot be moved easily. If it is moved, there will likely be more unrest."

As soon as the Left Prime Minister finished speaking, Wu Jue immediately said, "Your Majesty, I also think that what the Left Prime Minister said makes a lot of sense! The Imperial City Guard has the responsibility to pacify the Jianghu and resist foreign enemies. Moreover, Jia Ti Si and the Yuan Sheng Dao of the Kushan Empire are also mortal enemies. This time, the Kushan Empire's army marched south, and he has an inescapable responsibility."

Wu Quan didn't say anything this time, because he also hoped that Jia Daoshi would not have a good time. It would be best if he could be surrounded and killed by the Kushan Empire's army on the battlefield!

Upon hearing the Left Prime Minister's words, the Right Prime Minister chuckled and said, "Left Prime Minister, you probably don't know much about the battlefield. Battles are not like fights in the martial world. Right now, the Iron Forest Army and the troops of the Cliff City combined only number around 100,000, which includes food and logistics. Does the Left Prime Minister really think that with such a small force, you can repel 500,000 barbarian cavalry?"

The Left Prime Minister snorted: "I didn't say that."

At this point, the Left Chancellor looked at Ji Wuxin, who was sitting on the phoenix throne, and continued, "Your Majesty, this old minister believes that an imperial edict should be issued ordering General Minghe Ying to lead troops north!"

The Ming family army under Ming Heying has 300,000 troops, which is indeed a good idea.

However, Ming Heying clearly does not take the imperial court seriously and has a strong tendency to amass military power.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have stood idly by while the imperial court and the Green Turban Army fought for so long!

The Left Chancellor's suggestion immediately silenced the court.

Ji Wuxin was naturally aware of this, but at this time, the decree still had to be issued.

"Imperial decree: Five hundred thousand Kushan barbarian cavalry have invaded the city of Juebi. The city is isolated and unable to withstand the attack. Effective immediately, General Ming Heying is ordered to lead two hundred thousand troops north to support the city of Juebi!"

The Left Chancellor bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Ji Wuxin glanced at the Left Prime Minister indifferently, and then said, "Left Prime Minister, Right Prime Minister, General Zhang, Minister Wang, the four of you, stay for now. The rest of you may leave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Wuxin rose from his phoenix throne, dragging his black dragon robe, and turned to leave.

It was clear that the southward march of 500,000 Kushan cavalry had put her under considerable pressure.

The Qing Turban Army had already severely weakened the imperial court, and it had not yet recovered when foreign enemies invaded again!

This gave her a huge headache!

However, it was impossible to mobilize the imperial army!

Deploying the Iron Forest Army is already the limit; if we were to draw on a larger force, it would be tantamount to shaking the very foundation of the Great Jing Dynasty!

When that time comes, it won't just be the Kushan Empire moving south!

Because the Great Jing Dynasty is now on the verge of a major upheaval!

If all else fails, we'll have to abandon Cliff City and force Minghe Ying to take action!

Moreover, she also realized that the timing of the Kushan Empire's southward advance was so coincidental that it was clearly involved with people in the Great Jing Dynasty. As for whether those rebellious sons were involved, she didn't know.

She's too lazy to even look it up now!

Behind every war lies politics, and if the Kushan Empire wanted to completely take over the southwest of Dajing and make it its own, she would never agree to it.

I'm sure Mingheying wouldn't agree to that either!

Even the city of Juebi cannot be lost!

Because the state where Cliff City is located is the gateway to the northwest of the Great Jing!

If this place is lost, the barbarian cavalry of the Kushan Empire can march south whenever they want!

Therefore, Ji Wuxin knew that to resolve this crisis, she seemed to have to make some concessions.

It's not just about making concessions to the Kushan Empire, but also to the likes of Mingheying.

This made her feel frustrated and extremely depressed!

This is the first time since he ascended the throne!

That was also the most humiliating time!

The main problem was the Qing Turban Army, which severely weakened the Great Jing Dynasty. Before it could even catch its breath, the Kushan Empire arrived!

If she could have another six months to recover, she wouldn't be afraid at all!

But reality is reality!

The most important thing now is to protect Cliff City!

After summoning the two prime ministers, General Zhang, and Minister Wang to the imperial study, Ji Wuxin discussed countermeasures in a very serious manner!

If Minghe Ying continues to outwardly comply but inwardly defy orders, the court will have no choice but to negotiate a settlement. The court cannot simply abandon Juebi City and the Tielin Army. Reinforcements must still be sent, but the number must be carefully considered, as there is no 200,000 troops.

As for ceding the city of Cliff, that's impossible. At most, we'll pay the Kushan Empire some tribute in the form of grain, cloth, and women as compensation each year...
