Those people from the Southern Dynasty will be wiped out if they leave the city; they can only watch us swagger around from inside the city.
"By setting up our main camp so close to the capital of the Southern Dynasty, we can also let them see the might of our army."
He then looked at the Jurchen general behind him and asked:
"Has Zhang Hengshuo caught up?"
"Reporting to the Great Khan, Zhang Hengshuo has been following us; he is stationed not far from us."
Moreover, the defenses were extremely tight.
A Jurchen general with a shaved rat tail said to Wanyan Jian.
After hearing what he said, Wanyan Jian also showed an impatient expression.
After all, Zhang Hengshuo had been with them all the way.
"Forget it, let them stay there. It can also help us divert some of the Southern Dynasty's attention."
Li Qin wrote to me saying that he has broken camp and will soon join us in this capital city.
Once Li Qin arrives, he will begin attacking the capital of the Southern Dynasty. When reinforcements from the Southern Dynasty arrive, a major war will break out.
Zhang Hengshuo and his men won't be able to keep an eye on us.
"We can then return to the tribe and seize the undefended Liaodong region in one fell swoop."
Wanyan Jian looked at the capital of the Southern Dynasty in the distance, his eyes revealing great ambition.
Meanwhile, chaos had already broken out in the capital.
Just as Wanyan Jian and Zhang Hengshuo's army appeared outside the capital city.
Regent Zhu Qiyu then summoned the cabinet members and the remaining civil and military officials.

In addition, he followed Zhu Qizhen on a campaign, died in battle, and was captured.

Even among those who are still alive, many are in their teens, twenties, or thirties, and it's clear they've just inherited their family's titles.
In the Battle of Tushu Fortress, the noble and military group of the Great Wu, including countless dukes and marquises, was almost annihilated by Li Qin in one battle.
Zhu Qiyu looked at the crowd in front of him and paced back and forth in the main hall.
Then, following the crowd in front of him, he asked:
"Gentlemen, the soldiers guarding the city have just sent word that tens of thousands of rebels and tens of thousands of enemy soldiers have been discovered in the east."
They must be Li Ze's vanguard.
Our capital is now militarily depleted, what should we do?
Faced with Zhu Qiyu's question, everyone present exchanged glances.
No one spoke, except for the Second Grand Secretary Yu Gan, who stepped forward and said:
"Your Highness, I just went to the city wall to take a look at the enemy soldiers and rebels on the other side."
We discovered that the enemy's camp was very close to us.
It is well within the range of our latest artillery.
In order to dampen the enemy's morale.
"Your Majesty, I request permission to bombard the enemy's main camp."
