No one expected that the first to start a war among the vassal kings would be Prince Donghe. Prince Donghe now only controls the state of Miyun, and with the soldiers who fled back afterward, the total number only amounts to seventy or eighty thousand. Moreover, he is not attacking other vassal kings, but directly aiming his sword at the capital.
However, thinking about it, it makes some sense. No matter how large Miyun State is, it cannot further expand his army. There are still civilians in the city, so how long can the food from one state supply an army? Rather than being devoured by other vassal kings in the future, it is better to make a desperate gamble.
Furthermore, the court has always been cowardly, with the ministers embracing the principle of surrendering instead of waging war. This is why the vassal kings across the regions have been allowed to oppose and grow stronger over the years.
