News came from the Northern Land that the new Xiongnu Emperor Liu He has escaped the encirclement with the court officials and successfully joined Liu Cong. However, it is said that the brothers are not in harmony, and in the past half month, Liu Cong has not sent troops to occupy territory, allowing Beigong Chun and Zu Ti time to recuperate.
Beigong Chun even requested to return to deal with Shi Le.
Considering the uncertain situation in the Northern Land and with Ming Yu still in enemy territory, Zhao Hanzhang decided not to let him return, keeping him stationed in Jizhou. If the Xiongnu indeed descends into chaos, she plans to seize Jizhou too.
Ambitious, Zhao Hanzhang, under the Emperor Jin's name, called on various regions to support the cause against the Xiongnu and to save the Emperor Jin, yet aside from Jingzhou, few regions have responded.
