Under Xu Hao's orders, the northern army immediately mobilized.
Other than Wuqi's 370,000 soldiers who stayed outside the northern border, the remaining 200,000 people all marched to the border of Youzhou and stationed not far from Qingzhou's Shanyin Pass.
Once the ten days were up, they would launch their fiercest attack on Qingzhou.
"D * mn, they're coming! The army of the Northern Territory is here!”
"Quick, quickly report to the higher-ups and ask Qingzhou City to send reinforcements!”
The guards of Shanyin Pass soon discovered the mighty Northern Territory army stationed at the border of Qingzhou.
At this moment, the guards standing on the city wall were so scared that their faces turned pale.
There were at least hundreds of thousands of heads. They only had 10,000 people here. How the hell were they going to fight?
Not long after, an urgent report was sent from Shanyin City to Qingzhou City.
"Damn it! Quickly send the news of the strange movements in the north to the spies of Six Fan School stationed in Qingzhou City to Great Peace City!”
When Yu Hai, the governor of Qingzhou, saw the request for help from Shanyin Pass, his expression immediately darkened and he immediately instructed his subordinates.
"In addition, Qingzhou has less than 100,000 soldiers. Please speed up the dispatch of reinforcements. Otherwise, the day of Qingzhou's fall is not far away!”
Last time, Lin Zhanshan had lost 100,000 soldiers in Qingzhou in one battle!
Although they had been working hard to recruit new soldiers, they had only managed to recruit 50,000 soldiers.
It wasn't because there were few people in Qingzhou, but because many people knew that after joining the army, they might have to face the Northern Army.
After all, the current Qingzhou was equivalent to the door of Da Feng! Once the Northern Territory attacked, Qingzhou would bear the brunt.
Therefore, many commoners were unwilling to join the army!
"Sigh, let the others discuss the matter!”
Qingzhou Governor Yu Bo sighed softly. He felt that Qingzhou most likely could not be defended anymore!
Now, all he could do was to lose beautifully.
……
Great Peace City, Chaowen Hall.
The civil and military officials stood on both sides. Above them was Emperor Huaiyang who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Ever since Emperor Huaiyang started cultivating, he only had an early court session once a month.
But this time, what surprised the officials was that it had only been half a month. Could it be that His Majesty had changed?
They could feel that Emperor Huaiyang was in a particularly bad mood today.
"Minister Zhao, tell everyone the news from Qingzhou!”
At this moment, Emperor Huaiyang looked at Zhao Zhen expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen immediately stood up and said with a solemn expression,
"Everyone, not long ago, we received urgent news from Qingzhou!”
"The intelligence report said that there was an unusual movement in the north. They mobilized 200,000 soldiers out of Shanhai City and stationed them ten miles away from Shanyin Pass!”
As soon as he said this, all the officials in the court were shocked.
Immediately, the entire Chaowen Hall was in chaos. Many of the civil and military officials were scolding the Northern Territory and Xu Hao for being a traitor.
Some of the generals stood out and directly asked Emperor Huaiyang for help, saying that they were willing to lead troops to reinforce Qingzhou.
Zheng Dangren, who was the prime minister, had a complicated expression on his face. He lowered his head and stood there silently.
"Pa-"
Seeing the chaos in Chaowen Hall, which was like a wet market, the palm-print eunuch standing beside Emperor Huaiyang immediately had a cold expression on his face. He held the whip in his hand and ruthlessly whipped the smooth ground.
A crisp sound rang out, causing everyone to shut up and stop.
"Dear ministers, do you have any good ideas?" Emperor Huaiyang's gaze swept across the officials below, especially on Zheng Dangren. He paused for a few moments.
However, Zheng Dangren did not seem to notice and continued to stand there silently.
The rest of the people frowned and thought hard, as if they couldn't think of a good plan at the moment.
In the end, Prince Yu, who was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, stood up and said seriously,
"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to mobilize troops to aid Qingzhou!”
"I am not talented, but I am willing to lead the army to Qingzhou to meet that brat's northern army.”
Seeing Prince Yu take the initiative to volunteer, the expressions of all the civil and military officials in the court immediately became a little strange.
Although this prince had led his troops and won several battles, he seemed to have been suppressing bandits in Yanzhou, right?
Exterminating bandits and fighting the Northern Territory army were two different things!
Emperor Huaiyang pondered for a moment before saying,""Since Prince Yu has such intentions, Zhen agrees!”
"Imperial Uncle can transfer 300,000 troops from the various garrisons!”
Did he really agree? Many people were surprised.
It was not that there was no one in the imperial court who was better at leading troops than Prince Yu, but Emperor Huaiyang did not like him!
Or rather, His Majesty trusted Prince Yu, a member of the royal family, more.
"Prince Yu, I hope that you will focus on guarding the city. You can't easily leave the city to fight!”
At this moment, Zhao Zhen thought for a moment and said to Prince Yu.
Prince Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.
After settling the matter of mobilizing troops to aid Qing Province, Emperor Huaiyang dismissed the court and left.
When the officials saw this, they all walked out of Chaowen Hall and returned to their homes.
"Chief Zheng, why are you so quiet today?”
Zhao Zhen suddenly walked to Zheng Dangren's side and chuckled with a dark gaze.
"Hehe, I'm old. I can't think of any good ideas!”
Zheng Dangren also smiled and said in a self-deprecating manner.
Zheng Dangren's ability could be ranked in the top three in the entire Da Feng.
How could such a person not think of anything?
Saying that he was old was just an excuse.
Chief Zheng was not like this in the past!
Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes, feeling that something was amiss.
However, Zheng Dangren's expression remained the same, so Zhao Zhen could not see anything.
"Duke Zhao, His Majesty has summoned you!"
Just as Zhao Zhen was thinking about how to probe Zheng Dangren, a eunuch suddenly rushed in from the palace and said to him.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen looked deeply at Zheng Dangren before following the eunuch into the palace.
Zheng Dangren shrugged his shoulders and slowly walked out of the dynasty. Then, he got into the carriage that had been waiting for him for a long time and headed home.
Soon, Chief Zheng returned home and went straight to a room.
"Teacher, you have to speed up!”
Zheng Dangren walked into the room and said to the old man sitting on the armchair.
"Dang Ren, are you sure you want to remain neutral?" The old man chuckled. Not helping anyone?"
"Teacher, Da Feng is also considered to be indebted to me. Being able to do this is already my limit.”
Zheng Dangren shook his head. Although Emperor Huaiyang was very muddle-headed, he could not do the dirty business of defecting to the enemy.
At most, he would say nothing, do nothing, and help no one.
After this matter, he would retire and never be an official again.
"What a pity!" A hint of regret appeared on the old man's face. He then stood up and patted Zheng Dangren's shoulder. He then pushed open the door, and a clear light spread out, and the old man disappeared.
After the old man left, Zheng Dangren's eyes flickered and he was slightly lost in thought.
"The fate of the scholarly faction is about to change. I wonder how far that prince can go?”
