What a pity...
Beigong Chun was not far behind, as Linghu Sheng led an army into Dai Country, but he did not lay siege, instead remaining silent.
After Yuan Li persuaded Tuoba Liuxiu, Tuoba Liuxiu gave orders and sent people to assist, allowing Linghu Sheng's forces to advance unimpeded, setting up camp fifty li northwest of Xinping City, just one hundred li from Ping City, reachable by a day's forced march.
Tuoba Pusugen was unaware that his retreat had been cut off. He was slower than a telegram, only receiving news that Lady Jujube had been deposed and that his father had troubled his eldest brother...
He remained silent, feeling powerless against his father's actions as a son, so he pretended not to know.
While harboring some dissatisfaction, thinking his father had gone too far for the sake of the third brother, he was, after all, his father. What could he do?
But he never expected the situation to end up like this.
