As soon as the news that Jia Jue and Zhao Qi bet on the throne came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions.

From high-ranking officials and princes to traffickers and pawns, they all paid great attention to this matter.

Most of their opinions are divided into two factions.

One group believed that Jia Jue was full of confidence in this battle, but he never lost any bets he made.

The other faction believed that the big man had really reached a critical moment of life and death, otherwise Zhao Qi would not have bet on the throne.

Because he knew that once this battle was lost, the great man would be defeated, and the throne would be of no importance, so he might as well use it as a means of motivating Jia Jue.

These two factions occupy the mainstream view, one is pessimistic and the other is optimistic.

However, when they knew that Jia Jue only used 1 people to deal with tens of millions of people, everyone was full of horror.

At this time, even the optimists can no longer be optimistic, and the original pessimists have completely collapsed.

Anyone who is sane doesn't think that only 1 people can withstand the enemy's tens of millions of people.

Except for Jia Jue's diehard loyalists, no one thought he would win.

This time, no one went to write to the court, and no one went to petition outside the Prince's Mansion.

They knew that the matter had come to this point, and it was no longer possible to change the situation by relying on tactics. The enemy was already coming here, and even if they dispatched troops at this time, it was already too late to recruit troops.

The difference in strength between the two sides is too great, no matter how many soldiers are recruited, they will just die.

There are many people who have such thoughts. Under the threat of "death", many people sold their property and fields at a low price, left the land of Gyeonggi, and fled to the south.

Therefore, in the following days, a large number of convoys left the capital every day, and a large number of houses, properties, and shops were sold at a low price.

To this, the imperial court did not seem to have any reaction, and there was no obstacle at all to those who wanted to leave.

And such a move was interpreted by many people who wanted to leave as the imperial court acquiescing to their judgment. This war should be lost and irreversible.

This accelerated the speed at which they made up their minds to leave, and more people fled the capital.

Prince's Mansion, living room.

"Your Highness! Does the imperial court really need to issue notices to appease the people?" Yan Jin asked Jia Jue worriedly. These days, not only the common people have left a lot, but also many middle- and lower-level officials of the imperial court.

Jia Jue smiled, "Let's go if they want to, as the fields, shops, and houses will be vacant."

Chen Jiang heard the words and quickly asked: "Your Highness, I have already collected a lot of land, houses, shops, do you want to take more?"

After hearing that someone was leaving, Jia Jue gave two orders:
First, the soldiers must maintain order. It is fine to leave, or to sell the house, but if someone dares to take the opportunity to do illegal things, he can't.

Second, he asked Chen Jiang to use the money from the treasury to buy a large amount of assets at a low price.

During this period of time, Chen Jiang has been operating this matter, and has accumulated a lot of assets in his hands.

Jia Jue nodded: "Continue, don't stop, take as much as you have."

Chen Jiang hesitated for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, I don't understand why you want to do this?"

Jia Jue smiled: "After this battle, the imperial court will reward meritorious persons. Isn't this a ready-made thing?"

Everyone suddenly realized that it was Jia Jue's idea. Yan Jin frowned and asked:
"But what if they return to the capital and ask the court for it in the future?"

Meng Yuan snorted coldly: "When the court is in danger, they abandon the court. When the world is peaceful, they want to take advantage again? How can there be such a good thing?"

Chen Jiang also echoed: "That's right, what's more, at this time, the situation is far from irreversible, and they left like this. They only have themselves in their hearts. Where there is the world, where there is the court, What qualifications do these people have to sit on the riches of the great man? Besides, selling it at this time is something they are willing to do, and no one is forcing them."

Everyone nodded.

"It's just, Your Highness, how sure is this battle?" Zhou Ping couldn't help asking.

Everyone looked at Jia Jue with nervous eyes. This is the core of the problem. If Jia Jue can't win, then everything will be in vain.

Jia Jue said with a smile: "How much do I have to say to make you feel at ease?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, but they all sighed together.

When the outcome was not decided, no matter what Jia Jue said, they couldn't feel at ease. Even if Jia Jue said [-]% and said they would win, they might not feel at ease.

Seeing this, Jia Jue said with a smile: "My lords, let's go. The battle is a matter of my palace's sole responsibility. The most important thing for my lords is to stabilize the territory of the Han Dynasty. I don't want to lead troops out, but I still have to worry about it." at home."

Chu Liang, a scholar of the Zhongji Temple, turned his face straight when he heard the words, and bowed and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, leave this matter to me, if I can't even do this well, I would like to die to thank the world !"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness! We will definitely not let the big man make any mistakes!" Everyone bowed in unison.

Jia Jue will not take away any existing soldiers when he goes out. If under such circumstances, they still cause problems in the rear, then they can really die.

Jia Jue nodded, and said to them, "Then I will thank you, my lords."

Everyone saluted Jia Jue in unison, and then retreated.

After seeing off all the ministers, Jia Jue was about to go back to the courtyard when the gatekeeper suddenly reported that it was Princess Sassan asking to see her.

"Please come in." Jia Jue nodded.

Not long after, two figures came to the hall, it was Kazar and Pantea.

The two looked deeply at Jia Jue and saluted him.

Jia Jue stepped forward with a smile and helped the two of them up: "They are all our own, so there is no need to salute."

After the two girls heard the words, their faces turned red, and they naturally knew what "one of us" meant.

"Are you going to fight on the front line soon?" Kazaar asked Jia Jue.

Jia Jue nodded: "Yes."

This battle is crucial, and he must be there in person.

"Then take us with you!" Kazaar said.

Jia Jue shook his head: "No need, I will go by myself."

"We know Sassan better than you, and we also know the character of the leading general. Bringing us will be of great help to you." Kazaar said seriously.

Jia Jue still shook his head: "No, war is a man's business, and women are not required to participate in the war!"

Kazaar looked at him deeply: "We don't need us in war, but we need you."

Jia Jue looked at her in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Pan Taiya looked at him and said affectionately: "We need you, children, and we need father more."

Jia Jue: ...
