The news of Golden Palace's invasion was like a mountain fire that burned the entire world and shocked the Central Plains.
Li Yu responded very fast. She forcibly suppressed the ministers who supported the Queen with great courage. Risking being mocked, she ordered the Northern Army to withdraw immediately, converging with the Northern Military Camp and forming two lines of defense outside Hebei county.
At the same time, she ordered the Southern Army immediately to stop fighting with the savage tribes in the primeval forest and move to the Northern Frontier as soon as possible. Then she ordered a part of the Western Army to the north to fight as a guerrilla against the cavalry of the Golden Palace.
To the ministers' surprise, Li Yu sent her Yulin Royal Guards to the Northern Frontier as well, regardless of her control of Chang'an.
