The left and right submitted a secret report.
Prince Jin frowned, "I didn't expect Zhao Muyun's troops to be so capable of fighting."
"It's a pity that Shuozhou needs to be defended. Otherwise, with this army, we would have entered the capital long ago."
"Your Highness, Zhao Muyun's troops are holding back the Tartar army in Shuozhou and securing Jinyang, leaving us with nothing to worry about."
The counselor quickly added, "Therefore, we must speed up our march to the capital. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."
"According to secret reports from spies, the Crown Prince has already sent an envoy north to negotiate peace with the Left Wise King of the Northern Di Tartars, offering to cede territory in exchange for glory."

"I, the king, have been ordered to quell the rebellion. Not only must I purge the imperial court, but I must also drive out the Tartars and restore our homeland!"
A sharp and highly inflammatory manifesto was quickly issued from the camp of King Jin and spread throughout the world.
