The Cold Door Hero

Summary

In Taiyuan City, under martial law, Guan Sheng and Hua Rong led 5,000 soldiers in search of hidden Jin soldiers, capturing over 800. The city, once thriving with over a million residents, had drastically declined to around 200,000 due to the Jin invasion and subsequent destruction. Li Yanqing visited the captured Jin prince, Wanyan Zongya, revealing plans to exchange him for Song princes, while Zongya expressed a desire for a warrior's death. News of Taiyuan's capture by the Song army reached Wanyan Xieye, who was furious about the incompetence of his troops. Wanyan Zongwang was shocked to learn that Wanyan Loushi's elite cavalry might have been annihilated. Wanyan Xieye confirmed that Li Yanqing led 30,000 troops to seize the city. Despite differing opinions on Li Yanqing's intentions, Wanyan Zongwang insisted on retaking Taiyuan. Wanyan Xieye planned to send Wanyan Zongbi with 50,000 troops to recover the city, while also addressing the need to investigate the fate of Wanyan Loushi. The focus remained on defeating the Song army and regaining control.
