Standing with his hands behind his back, the Emperor looked at the map and pointed at the position of the main forces, "The border must be defended for at least two days; it will be two more days before the reinforcements arrive."
Prince Qi studied the map with furrowed brows and said, "The Dongbei tribes have assembled an army of two hundred thousand, while the defenders only number eighty thousand—more than double the defenders in strength. The situation is not optimistic."
