"Dispatch 10,000 elite cavalry, led by Commander Arahan, and send them north immediately!"
"Order Han Yanshou to mobilize all available troops in Youzhou and join forces with Arahan to ensure that Zhao Muyun and his 10,000 men are firmly pinned down in Hebei!"
"We must not let him get close to Youzhou, and we must not let him return alive!"
A net to encircle and annihilate Zhao Muyun's isolated army was thus cast.
The mystery surrounding the bizarre withdrawal from the Xiangzhou front has finally been solved.
Niu Desheng's escape from death was not a fluke, but a chain reaction triggered by another, even more thrilling raid hundreds of miles away.
At this moment, the focus of the entire battle quietly shifted to the city of Zhuozhou, which had just changed hands, and the Hedong army that dared to venture deep into enemy territory alone.

After entering the Hebei Plain, the speed suddenly increased.
Zhao Muyun's goal was clear—to bypass the major cities and prefectures and strike directly into the undefended heartland of the Northern Barbarians.
