It seems the Crown Prince truly does not take me to heart. He has become completely accustomed to barking orders at me. His men, in particular, have taken full control of my army, living in luxury and eating well every day. Wagon after wagon of grain and resources are being hauled away by his people, and he is even collecting levies from other counties and prefectures.
I sent a secret letter to Dian Wei, ordering him to dispatch 10,000 men to lie in ambush as bandits on the path the Mie Imperial Dynasty’s forces would take on their way back. The grain and resources are not important, but the men must be slaughtered completely—not a single one is to be left alive.
The grain transports have been gone for two or three days now. As for my city walls, they have been half-demolished under the Crown Prince’s supervision. He is quite satisfied with his recent life.
