His elite troops, which he was so proud of.
Despite being well-equipped and well-trained, they were defeated by the soldiers of Shannan Prefecture!
This was an utter disgrace to him!
"A bunch of good-for-nothings! What's the point of keeping you around!"
Liu An suddenly stopped, grabbed the purple clay teapot on the table, and smashed it hard on the ground.
The teapot shattered with a crack, scalding hot tea splashed everywhere, and porcelain shards flew off.
