"Let him tackle this tough nut."
"Then we..."
"Our goal has never been just the city of Youzhou."
Zhao Muyun drew a circle on the map with his finger. "Tanzhou, Jizhou, Shunzhou, and even Jingzhou further north... we must take back all these former Yan and Yun territories!"
"Controlling these places will not only isolate Youzhou, but also give us a vast depth and strategic initiative after the war."
"At that time, even if Yang Yan takes Youzhou, he will only gain an isolated city. The entire Yanyun land will be under the onslaught of my Hedong army!"
Upon hearing this, the generals' eyes lit up immediately.
It turns out that the Grand Commander's vision had already extended beyond the struggle for the city of Youzhou.
“But, Grand Commander, will Yang Yan be willing to accept this? What if he sabotages us behind our backs…” Murong Chunhua said worriedly.
Zhao Muyun sneered: "Of course he won't be willing to give up. So we must act quickly! Before he can react, or before he can take down this tough nut of Youzhou, we must complete the strategic encirclement of the north of Youzhou."
"Also, has there been any news from Lin Feng in Xijing?"

"Governor Lin has strengthened the defenses of Xijing and the surrounding passes. Please rest assured, Grand Commander."
Zhao Muyun's eyes narrowed: "Yang Yan... he really couldn't hold back anymore. Tell Lin Feng to keep a close watch on him, and if there's any unusual activity, strike first! No need to ask for instructions!"
"yes!"
"Gentlemen," Zhao Muyun said, his gaze sweeping over the generals under his command, "the Battle of Youyun is crucial to the future of Hedong, and even more so to whether we can drive out the Tartars and restore our land! The road ahead is fraught with peril, with not only the stubborn enemy of the Northern Barbarians, but also 'allies' with ulterior motives."
"I hope everyone will work together with me to overcome these difficult times!"
"I am willing to follow the Grand Commander to overcome the difficulties of this time and restore Youyun!"
The generals responded with a resounding roar, their morale soaring.
