Chang'an, Wei Palace.
Following the news that the messenger from Chu State had entered the city, the current Emperor Wei Yong of Wei immediately summoned the group of ministers to discuss the matter.
"Gentlemen, the state of Chu has sent a messenger wishing to invite our Great Wei to join them beyond the border. Both countries would meet at Helong and together sweep through the Barbarian tribes."
Wei Yong stated the purpose of the Chu State's messenger and then said, "Let's discuss this, how should our Great Wei respond?"
This Emperor of Wei was thirty-three years old this year and had ascended the throne five years ago.
From his age, it can be seen that Wei Yong was born exactly when the frigid northern tide began, experiencing such a terrible era.
Therefore, in order to preserve the dynasty, the previous Wei Emperor started mobilizing the entire nation from Wei Yong's birth, firmly intent on moving southward.
