June 20th.
The imperial decree issued by the Emperor spread across the land, commanding all the dukes to send troops to resist Jin Xia.
However, the response was sparse.
Although Xiliang, the Shu Residence, and King Anping did respond, they only sent a few hundred troops, clearly just putting on a show for the public.
At this time, a news spread in Xiangyang.
Chen Mo, the Marquis of Pingting County and the current Grand Commandant, announced to the world, issuing a military order to expel the Jin Xia Barbarians, recover the Northern Land and the former territories of Youzhou, and offer victory to the Emperor, swearing never to return unless they were recovered.
This news shocked the realm.
It seemed as if saying, is there really a need to go so all out?
Qingzhou is your domain. Resisting Jin Xia and defending Qingzhou is what you should do.
