Golden Stage

It was the eighth of July, fourth year of Changzhi. According to information that the Southwestern frontline sent back, the Commander of the southwestern expedition’s army-slash-Duke of Ying, Fu Shen, had been attacked by the dissenting army, and sadly perished.

On the tenth of July, Heaven Mend Envoy Yan Xiaohan detoured out of Jinling to the Southwest, then was unsuccessful in demanding Fu Shen’s remains from the rebels. Duan Guihong furiously berated him before the ranks, alleging that the weasels in Court had formed an alliance for selfish reasons, brought harm to a meritorious official, and misled the Emperor, causing Fu Shen to die with a grudge. All the Southwestern troops vowed to purge the monarch’s perimeter and put those fawning officials to death, making it up to Fu Shen’s soul in Heaven.
