Through Xiao Mo's efforts, news of Xiahou Nan's surrender to the Northern Wilderness Army spread rapidly throughout the Wei Kingdom.
Many generals had already considered surrendering but were still hesitant. Now that General Xiahou had capitulated, they no longer had any reason to delay.
Consequently, more and more generals surrendered. The Northern Wilderness Army's four columns broke through city after city, accepting surrenders all along the way as they marched straight for the Wei Capital!
Inside the Wei Kingdom Royal Palace, upon learning that Xiahou Nan had surrendered with his entire army, the Sovereign of Wei erupted in a tirade at the Imperial Court and, this time, actually fainted from rage.
But when he awoke, he had to face reality. He still had to find a way to resist the Northern Wilderness Army.
