His only son, Yue Rujing, was also a member of the Dao Sect, and currently, the affairs of the Dao Sect were no less busy than that of the Imperial Court. Yue Rujing really couldn’t leave. It would be impossible to send his own daughter to war. "Ducal Residence, if we let the eldest daughter of the Yue Family lead the army to attack Xining, would the men of Zhuzhao Country still have any pride left in living in this world?"

After saying this, he looked at the Ducal Residence with a slight smile.

However, at this moment, the Empress interjected, "I heard that yesterday Yue Rujing left for Lingnan. It seems that the affairs of the Dao Family are not as troublesome as they appear!"

The Emperor whispered, "No, that’s because Yue Tingfang is seriously ill, and he had no choice but to return to Lingnan to assess the situation."

The Empress was left speechless.

"With such a vast area of Lingnan, is Yue Tingfang really the only one capable of leading troops into battle?" the Ducal Residence grunted.

The Emperor said, "Of course not, the Ducal Residence himself just said that the sons and daughters of the Yue Family are all brave and good at fighting; the young ladies of the Yue Family are also capable of entering the battlefield."

"That still doesn’t mean we should actually let a young girl fight this war!" the Ducal Residence retorted coldly.

The Emperor laughed, "That’s more like it."

"So, Ducal Residence, what do you think should be done?"

The problem was thrown back, and the Ducal Residence’s expression had already become very ugly.

"What about the East Sea then? General Che’s forces are numerous and capable, surely it’s not like Lingnan, where you can’t dispatch a single commander?"

General Che was a relative by marriage to the Ducal Residence, and he did not wish for Che Xiangyuan to go, but compared to sending troops from Beiping, he preferred to let General Che take charge.

After weighing the pros and cons, since Lingnan was not an option, the only choice was Che Xiangyuan.

Since the Emperor had approached him, it would obviously be impossible to expect the Emperor to pull his own feathers.

"Would the Ducal Residence take responsibility for persuading General Che?"

The Emperor said this so lightly that it almost made the Ducal Residence stumble.

With the Emperor already finding it extremely difficult to issue orders, what use would there be in sending an old man like him?

Che Xiangyuan is not foolish; he would definitely prefer Beiping to supply the troops.

Beiping and the Northwestern Desert were the closest; if not for the interest factor, Beiping would actually be a good choice.

The Ducal Residence stroked his beard, troubled, "Sending General Che... might not be a good idea either! Your Majesty, perhaps allow this old servant to return and think it over carefully, as the matter of dispatching troops is of great importance!"

He needed to go back and discuss it properly with his sons.

"There’s no need," the Emperor said.

"I have already thought of a solution, but it requires the Ducal Residence’s cooperation."

The Ducal Residence and the Empress’s expressions changed.

They thought: Why didn’t you say you had a plan earlier? You made us fret needlessly.

"The Emperor, please speak; your servant will surely cooperate."

"It’s like this, Lingnan, Beiping and Dongzhou, none can be destabilized lightly. We in Zhuzhao are situated in the Central Prefecture, surrounded by enemies on all sides. Stirring up one area could potentially bring great disaster upon Zhuzhao Country, so deploying troops to suppress the rebellion in Xining is not a matter for one party alone. Beiping’s military situation is shocking, but they must also deploy troops!"

"Oh, Your Majesty, that won’t do..." the Ducal Residence sobbed, "In recent years, the military camps in Beiping have been self-sufficient, and they are already facing severe hardships. The Barbarians are fierce, and one can fight like two. If we withdraw the troops from Beiping, then Beiping won’t be able to hold back the Barbarians anymore."

The Emperor said, "Ducal Residence, be calm, I will not leave you at a disadvantage. The deployment of troops is not the concern of one family alone. Fifty thousand from Lingnan, fifty thousand from Dongzhou, I will have General Lu bring fifty thousand, and Beiping must also send fifty thousand. This way, it will reflect my fairness."
