"Chen Qian, take your men and guide the remaining Cao and Liu forces. Make sure they enter the Rocky Stream safely!"
Orders were quickly issued and the city gates slowly opened in the night.
The elite Jin army, which had been gathering strength for a long time, headed straight for the rocky stream under the personal leadership of Zhao Muyun.
