The number of Longyin soldiers guarding the northern border has dropped sharply due to the return of General Lan and the Lan family army to the capital, and they are truly vulnerable!
The reinforcements sent by the court could not arrive for a while.
I knew that it would be too late to let all the people in the city escape, so I pretended to surrender!

I told General Yuan Shuhuai of Hanlan that as long as the people can live a good life, we don’t care who is in charge of the land under our feet!
