Or perhaps we're specifically targeting his ambush!
Li Xiaochen was also innocent. He guessed that the Northern Frontier might send some people over, but who knew that King Qiling would be so bold as to bring a whole team over. This was a move to directly start a war against their Xia Kingdom.
He has already fallen into the ambush, so there is no way he can desert. As soon as he retreats, Quyan County will become the possession of the northern frontier.
