"Sir!"
"The General Yuan Futong has dispatched multiple troops in an attempt to launch a surprise attack on us while the Northern Marquis is away!"
"Fortunately, thanks to the Caozhou Marquis, who is brave and skilled in battle, and with the aid of the divine eagle, the plan was thwarted."
"However, even so, the Northern Marquis' forces have incurred significant losses."
"The Caozhou Marquis has sent word, advising us to reinforce our defenses!"
Hearing the report from his subordinate, Li Jing couldn't help but nod slightly. Yuan Futong was no mediocre man.
No sooner had the Northern Marquis left the territory than Yuan Futong launched a sudden attack. Even Chong Heihu of Cao State suffered a substantial setback. Even if the Caozhou Marquis hadn't reminded him, he would have been cautious on his own.
With this in mind, he looked up and ordered, "Send down the command!"
"All stationed troops, retreat to within the city!"
