"General Xiong has been sleeping less than two hours a day these past few days!"
After saying this, Jin Huan nodded again, muttering to himself:
"I see, I see."
"Yes, I said before that Xiong Qian has a large army at his disposal. If he commands it properly, he will not be defeated in one blow. It seems that he really is capable of turning the tide."
"They managed to turn a defeat around."
Zhao Zheng, however, still looked doubtful. He said in a deep voice:
"General, please forgive my bluntness, but I don't think what he said is true."
“He came to ask us to send reinforcements to go to Bailiyuan together, but I think that’s absolutely not the way to go.”
"Let's stick to the original plan and wait for the imperial court to send reinforcements before making any further plans."

"With reinforcements arriving, we can join General Xiong in suppressing the rebels!"
"Taking the head of the traitor and relieving His Majesty's worries would be an even greater achievement!"
"But at this crucial moment in the battle, the general is unwilling to send reinforcements to suppress the rebellion. He is just watching the traitor live!"
"General Xiong is still waiting for me. I am willing to fight alongside General Xiong to the very end, regardless of the outcome! Traitor, we must take his head!"
"General Jin, I hope you won't regret this later! If you miss this opportunity to suppress the rebels and they leave Baili Plain, it will be extremely difficult to kill them again in the future!"
Without saying another word, Xiong Chun sighed heavily, wiped the blood and tears from his face, and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Jin Huan shouted.
