[Northern Liang Emperor Tuoba Yi x Yan Kingdom Civil Official Su Wan]
At the northern frontier, yellow sand swept across the land as the two nations prepared for war.
Su Wan stood between them, holding military authority over several nations. To his left was the Northern Liang army, with 300,000 troops. To his right was the Yan Kingdom, with fewer than 100,000 soldiers. It was also the country he had served for many years, his own homeland.
Though outnumbered, the Yan Kingdom was unexpectedly brimming with confidence.
King Xiao Chuo of Yan said smugly, "Su Wan, you should know you're one of us. So now I want you to kill the Northern Liang king on the other side!"
At his words, Su Wan gave Xiao Chuo a long look, then actually drew his sword and headed left.
The Yan soldiers were all overjoyed at the sight, as if victory were already within reach.
Xiao Chuo said, "Excellent!"
But to their surprise, Su Wan walked up to the Northern Liang king, Tuoba Yi, slapped a military command talisman against his chest, and pointed his sword at him. "A Yi, help me kill him."
Tuoba Yi was delighted. Looking at him fondly, he said, "All right. I'll do as my empress says."
Yan soldiers: "Uh, what just happened?"
Northern Liang soldiers: "We're doomed. He's going to turn evil..."
Set in an alternate history. Please don't nitpick the historical details.
