Mulan1998

[General Li, the General of the Chinese Imperial Army, arrives at the Emperor's Palace.]

General Li:
Your Majesty, the Huns have crossed our Northern Border.

Chi Fu:
Impossible! No one can get through the Great Wall!

[The Emperor waves a hand, indicating for the General to continue.]

General Li:
Shan Yu is leading them. [brief silence] We'll set up defenses around your palace immediately.

Emperor:
No. Send your troops to protect my people. Chi Fu.

Chi Fu:
Yes, Your Highness?

Emperor:
Deliver conscription notices throughout all the provinces. Call up reserves and as many new recruits as possible.

General Li:
Forgive me, Your Majesty, but I believe my troops can stop him.

Emperor:
I won't take any chances, General. A single grain of rice can tip the scale. One man may be the difference between victory and defeat.
