Taiyuan has fallen!
These four words were like a bolt from the blue, suddenly exploding within the spacious Bai Fu Hall, instantly stunning everyone.
Although the banquet had just begun and everyone had only managed to drink a cup of wine, their minds were already swirling with countless thoughts. Yet, despite the differing thoughts, the same notion sprang up in everyone's mind at that moment—
How could it be!?
How is that possible?
Just a few days ago, Princess Qiancheng had sent them a letter, and they had assessed the situation in front of them, sending a letter to Yu Wencheng, who was guarding Taiyuan, instructing him to be ready to fortify the city. If Ashina Shali were indeed to mount an attack on Taiyuan, with Taiyuan's city defenses, it should have been able to hold out until reinforcements from Chang An arrived.
This also seemed to be the most prudent decision at the time.
But no one had expected just a few days later, Taiyuan had actually fallen!
