Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 1012: Chapter 1012: The Great Battle of Hanhai Pass (Part 1) Chapter 1012: Chapter 1012: The Great Battle of Hanhai Pass (Part 1) Hanhai Pass, the Yan Army’s siege entered its ninth day.

Shangguan Wuji received the eagle letter from Daye and immediately reported it to Princess Qingyun and Wang Chen.

The first news was the death of Emperor Shaowu, which occurred on the day King Jing ascended to the throne, the Emperor of Great Liang, dethroned by his own brother and the Empress Dowager, died within the forbidden palace.

The cause of death was the recurrence of a heart disease.

This also confirmed Wang Chen’s previous premonition.

After King Jing’s ascension, he granted amnesty to the world, changed the state’s name to Yuanjing, and decreed that all prefectural generals return to the Imperial Capital to report their duties.

Currently, Emperor Yuanjing has been informed of the Yan Army’s border offenses and has ordered Shangguan Wuji to defend Hanhai Pass at all costs, also commanding full support from the West Sea Prefecture.

In addition, rebel factions and heretical sects in the southern prefectures are causing chaos, threatening to spread like wildfire.

Moreover, the envoys from Great Qi are en route to Daye, and the two nations are very likely to forge an alliance soon.

These latter pieces of news came from Shangguan Wuji’s private channels.

Though the Grand General of the Western Defense was stationed at the border, he had his own informants in Daye to stay informed about the situation in the Imperial Capital at all times.

“The support troops from West Sea Prefecture cannot be counted on for the time being.”

Shangguan Wuji said in a solemn voice: “Their military is weak and not strong at all, at most they might send a cavalry force to make an appearance. If we want to hold Hanhai Pass, we have to rely on ourselves.”
