Just when Lu Yuan was at the foot of Xichang City, agonizing over the strong defenses of Xu State,
In Donglai County, thousands of miles away,
The new Emperor of Liang, Mingyu, was also filled with anxiety about the formidable Chu Army outside the city.
"Those rebels, seize!"
Atop the walls of Xian'an City, Mingyu, accompanied by He Ba Yuan and other generals, watched the enemy camp where Chu and Liang banners intermingled, couldn't help but slap the city wall and curse in pain and anger.
No wonder he was so angry.
Anyone would be enraged to see their own kin join forces with outsiders to plunder the family inheritance passed down through generations.
Moreover, it's infuriating to see the household servants not only refuse to help resist but also traitorously collaborate with the foe.
And that was precisely the situation Mingyu faced.
