More than Your Imagination Chapter 293

In the winter of the twelfth year of Longping in Daxing, thousands of miles of northern territory were frozen, and thick white snow covered the entire city, making it difficult to move even an inch. On the thirteenth day of the winter lunar month, Hun soldiers appeared on the border line. In the evening of that day, the enemy attacked, and Xian'an King Chen An led the border troops to kill the enemy bravely.

On the fifteenth day of the winter lunar month, the garrison troops from Cangzhou and Mianzhou went to Lancheng in the north to provide support. On the way, heavy snow blocked the road, and the garrison leader sent a vanguard unit to go ahead. However, they encountered an avalanche, and more than a thousand people were lost without a trace.

Half a month later, the garrison finally arrived at Lancheng. However, the journey was bumpy, the weather was bad, supplies were scarce, and many soldiers suffered from frostbite. Food, cotton-padded clothes, tents and other warm items are in short supply. Most of the border guards suffered casualties, and the plague was rampant.

In the early days of Emperor Taixing's accession to the throne, the vassal towns were too powerful. In order to check and balance these people, the emperor had to use the power of eunuchs. At the end of the eleventh year, the power of the eunuchs gradually grew, leading to chaos in the government. In the spring of the thirteenth year, rogue bandits invaded the southwest border. At the same time, eunuchs led by Wang Shijie initiated a palace uprising.

All the elite military generals were sent to the front line to support the imperial court. The imperial court was troubled by internal and external troubles. The four major families, represented by the Yan family, swore to support the imperial power to the death, and war broke out.
