Because since the first year of Chongzhen, both bandits and the Jiannu have passed by Qufu several times but failed to enter.
Now the enemy suddenly arrived, and he was instantly thrown into disarray.
Before He Shun could calm down, even worse news came from the city.
"Reporting to Chief He, a lot of papers suddenly appeared on the streets of the city, with a lot of words written on them."
