    Escaping the prison

    After being captured by my father's former allies, I got help from two of the guards to escape. Later those guards that helped me escape, decided to join forces with me. I was so glad that they had helped me escape. In the prison I was being treated really bad. They treated me like a slave. I worked for days and all i got was bread to eat. Not only that but it was like a small piece too. I was only given water and I got fed every two days.

    Northern China

    I have sent my army to Northern China. I was planning on making this my land but then the Jin emperor asked me to leave. It's not like he asked me nicely and I was going to leave. It's that he promised me a princess, slaves , gold and silver. I agreed but I'm angered and I fear that he is going to counter attack me when the Jin court retreats.

    Zhongdu is mine

    What do they take me for? A fool? Asking me to leave and then they can come and counter attack me? No this is mine land. When i decided a piece of land is mine, then it belongs to me. Thinking that I decided to return and take what is rightfully mine. Coming back to the city, I took all their resources and straved them into surrender.

    Arriving in Otrar

    I continued my sweep across western Asia. I had also taken a special trading post in eastern Asia called Otrar. The cultural there was not that different from other Asian cultures. The only difference was the food that they eat. It looked different from what I normally would eat but it tasted great.

    My final campaign

    Today as I was resting I felt this pain. I think the pain came from the injury I got from falling off a horse the other day. I think that my time is about to come. So I want to make this campaign the best one yet. Since Xi Xia disobeyed me, I sent my army to completed destroy Xi Xia. The residents should either be a slave or be killed.
