Within the Southern Capital City, lanterns were brightly lit.
Fireworks burst in the night, firecrackers resounded, as if it were New Year's.
Outside the city, in Wei Guoliang's rear army, Sima Yan drank wine and urged Wei Guoliang, "Uncle Wei, time waits for no one. The Collaborative Defense Army is still in Yunmeng Marsh exterminating bandits and hasn't returned yet. We should capture the Southern Capital City now, hold it firmly, and wait for the Imperial Court to establish a new leader. If we let them gain a foothold and return, there will be no place for you outside the Southern Capital City!"
"This?"
Wei Guoliang frowned, his head aching upon hearing the news from the front line.
The water bandits had surrendered, and it seemed the Princess intended to subdue this group of forces.
The Collaborative Defense Army, now only ten thousand in number, could hold against the million-strong water bandits.
