"No, the dog emperor is venting all his anger on Hebei. He sent 10,000 troops to Hebei, and Han Shizhong personally led the army here, which says it all! Once the dog emperor's most important line of defense is breached, the dog emperor will be in grave danger!"

Although the young man looked and spoke in an ordinary way, he had a faint air of otherworldliness about him, as if he did not belong to this world, as if he were an observer standing outside of it.

"Is everything ready over there?"

"Rest assured, Master, everything is ready. We await your command!"

"In that case, let's begin. First kill Wang Bing, then kill Wu Jie!"

...

Taiyuan City was the center of Hedong and was originally the most important military stronghold in the north of the Song Dynasty. Although the border has now shifted northward, Taiyuan City still holds a strategic position.

It was an important hub between Tokyo and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun.

When Wanyan Zonghan marched south and besieged Taiyuan for several months, it was because Taiyuan held a very high strategic position. Once Taiyuan fell, Tokyo would be completely exposed to the iron hooves of foreign invaders.

After the emperor's northern expedition, Wang Bing remained in Taiyuan City and was promoted to the position of Military Commissioner of Hedong, in charge of the civil and military affairs of the Hedong region.

Wang Bing was a man of strong character and loyalty. He was a man of great character, with his own set of principles that he followed in everything he did. These principles were the traditional Chinese virtues of loyalty, righteousness, and filial piety, which he could not shake under any circumstances.

Even death cannot shake it.

According to orthodox historical records, Wang Bing defended Taiyuan City until his troops and supplies ran out, and finally died from exhaustion in battle.

He was highly respected in Taiyuan City. Before he died, he shouted: "Jin traitors, stop harming the people of Taiyuan City! I will haunt you even as a ghost!"
