Deliberately showing weakness to cause the Liao Kingdom to misjudge.
Then take advantage of their unpreparedness and capture the city in one fell swoop.
It is easier said than done.
You have to withstand the anger of the army.
A failure in attacking a city is no small matter.
"This Northern Expedition is roughly like this."
“All departments performed very well.”
"Gu Yuan was the only one who disobeyed orders in the battle!"
Ning Que will not miss the opportunity to suppress the Gu family.
Besides, it was Gu Yuan's own fault.
"He pursued them out of the city in order to storm it."
"We ended up getting ambushed!"
"If I hadn't come to his aid in time, tens of thousands of his soldiers might have died in the battle!"

Gu Mingzhi's face flushed.
Ning Que refused to give in.
"Samuel only brought 8,000 men."

“That’s enough!”
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Emperor Feng's eyes were icy as he raised his hand and instructed, "Gu Yuan disobeyed orders on the battlefield, resulting in heavy casualties among our soldiers. From today on, he will be stripped of his title of Grand General and handed over to the Dali Temple for trial according to the law."
"Your servants obey the order!"
Ning Que looked at Gu Mingzhi and smiled complacently.
Just wait, you’ll have more troubles to come!
