The Cold Door Hero

Summary

After a significant defeat at Taiyuan, Wan Yan Xie Ye ordered a halt to the assault and redirected his focus towards the Jingdong routes. Zong Ze cleverly feigned a retreat, leading to a surprise attack that devastated the Jin army's supply base, resulting in heavy casualties. As Zong Ze continued to achieve victories, Wan Yan Xie Ye grew anxious about his southern campaign. He consulted Liang Fang Ping, who suggested targeting the weaknesses of the opposing generals, particularly by creating a crisis in Jingzhao Prefecture to draw Li Yan Qing away from Taiyuan. Liang Fang Ping also recommended replacing the fierce but tactically lacking Zong Wang with the more strategic Zong Bi. Wan Yan Xie Ye agreed and summoned Zong Bi to take command. Meanwhile, Liang Fang Ping felt satisfaction in his suggestion but was confronted by the disgruntled Zong Wang, who accused him of orchestrating his downfall. In a tense confrontation, Liang Fang Ping fatally stabbed Zong Wang in self-defense, but Zong Wang managed to fatally wound him before dying. Wan Yan Xie Ye arrived too late, finding one dead and one gravely injured, leading to a furious outburst over the chaos.
