August, drawing ever closer to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On this day, Murong Daoye reported that remnants of the previous dynasty had appeared in Yan State, requesting leave from the Capital City.
Three days later.
Urgent military news arrived from Nanxia; along the Xiajiang River, the Vermilion Bird Guard discovered unusual movements in the Northern Expedition Army, marshaling ships, seemingly poised to cross the river, with their forces aiming at Yaozhou!

The Little Emperor dared not be careless and immediately decreed Grand Commandant Yuwen Mao to personally go to the Xiajiang River to fend off the enemy.
In the Capital City, some keen-sensed individuals had already detected an air of unease.
The vast majority, including the Little Emperor, were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of nations coming to pay tribute, foreign lands offering homage, and joining together in the Capital City.
