Yuan Li looked up at the sky full of stars and sighed, "It's too late tonight, we can only do it tomorrow." Fortunately, he had one night to think about the next steps.
While Yuan Li went back to lie down in contemplation, Zhao Hanzhang was not done. She asked the telegraph operator to contact Zhao Ming, "Order two thousand soldiers from Nanyang and Ru Yang to be stationed near the Huai River, awaiting orders."
The telegraph operator responded affirmatively.
Only then did Zhao Hanzhang leave, but the matter was not over. It was urgent, requiring immediate decisions, and there were also important but not urgent issues.
She planned to inform Ji Yuan and Ming Yu of her decision the next day, so they wouldn't have to trouble themselves with such matters.
"Prepare Yu State and Yan State for war," the next day, after the morning assembly, Zhao Hanzhang stayed behind with Ji Yuan and a few others to discuss, "Prepare and see if the war will start this winter."
