Meanwhile, the Imperial Court and Xining were also preparing for war.
Lingnan had to have the Marquess on guard, so he could not leave.
Seizing this opportunity, he sent his daughter and son-in-law to gain some experience, so the ones to lead the fifty thousand troops to Xining were Yue Ruxue and her husband, Yi Qiuping.
Yue Rujing's identity was special; he had to stay in Sanqing Temple, so he could not join the battle even if he wanted to.
Beiping was close by, and it was said that troops and generals were being dispatched, while on the East Sea side, Huo Li had already returned and General Che was preparing.
General Lu had received the Emperor's command and was ready to lead fifty thousand troops westward at any moment. Everything was well organized, and the great battle was about to unfold.
Gu Youyou prepared clothes for Jin Zijin, knowing he too was to go. The main commander of this battle was not yet decided, raising fears of another turmoil.
