The Imperial Coroner

and even Xie Huaiding was not spared.

Now the people's hearts are unsteady.

I meant to place you at General Xie's side,

to let me take command of the Annan Army

covets Jiaozhou's land and supplies.

Their forces alone cannot match Great Tang.

the unrest in the north is not settled.

we cannot afford war on two fronts.

for one more reason of the greatest weight.

The court's strength is thinning.

I need your generation to bear the load.

Great Tang's sharpest weapon.

I will stake my life and not shrink from death.

I heard you sets out for the frontier today,

I know you were sparing me worry.

You were born for the battlefield.

And the neighboring states all have their own schemes.

It has truly been a long time since you came.

You look very much like someone I once knew.

I will remember you, Cuixiang.

you have become far too forward.

Did I not tell you last time I fell into the river?

Li Bai wrote a poem, did he not?

When life is good, one should savor the joy.
