Zhang Ling was sitting at the wooden table.
Zhang Ling has been in a much better mood since catching Gu Yufei.
He closed his eyes and thought about his next decision.
The sudden urgent news broke his meditation - the spy reported that Prince Duan Yu had been spotted ahead.
A cold light flashed in Zhang Ling's eyes. Why would the prince, a martial arts master who had been hiding, suddenly appear on this war-torn front?
"Are you sure that's Prince Duan?"
"I have followed the prince for many years and should not be wrong." said the spy.
"You continue to find out the news." Zhang Ling lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
The spy responded and hurried back to the front line to continue inquiring.
After a while, a mysterious envelope was delivered to Zhang Ling. It was said that Duan Yu deliberately dropped it after feeling the spy's surveillance.
Zhang Ling opened the envelope and saw a few words written on it: "Rootless thing." These words were like a sharp sword, piercing Zhang Ling's heart.
His anger was instantly ignited.
"You bastard, how dare you openly challenge me. I'll cut you into pieces!" Zhang Ling cursed viciously.
"You bastard!"
"I'm going to kill you!"
Zhang Ling swung the long sword in his hand, chopping the table into pieces.
The soldiers outside the door didn't dare to breathe.
After a while, another spy came back and brought news to Zhang Ling: Du's army was attacking from the east and west, and had concentrated its firepower on the other side of Jiangcheng.
"General, this is their secret order." The spy respectfully handed over a small treasure bag.
Zhang Ling took it and opened it, and inside was Duan Yu's personal jade pendant.
"Duan Yu, you'll definitely fall into my hands this time." Zhang Ling put the brocade bag into his arms. He quickly adjusted the deployment of his troops, moving the main force to the other side of Jiangcheng to prepare to meet the main force of the Du Kingdom.
At the same time, he ordered his army to strengthen its defenses and set up ambushes and traps at key locations to deal with possible surprise attacks.

"How's things going?" Duan Yu picked up the teacup calmly.
"Your Majesty, the false news has been released. Their troops are being transferred." Watson said.
"Very good. From now on, let the soldiers prepare some red-dyed cloth strips and tie them on their bodies when going to battle." Duan Yu said.
"Yes." Watson was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask further questions.
The prince consort always comes up with different approaches.
"Qiushuang, how is it going there now?" Duan Yu asked lightly.
"Miss Qiu is under house arrest now, but she has a rich meal every day, so there shouldn't be any problem," Watson summarized briefly.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the prince consort treated Qiu Shuang differently. Even when the princess was pregnant, the prince consort didn't ask much.

Three days later
After confirming that Zhang Ling's army had been transferred away, Duan Yu calmly sent a large number of troops to besiege where Zhang Ling was.
His orders were quickly transmitted to various units and the soldiers acted quickly.
Duan Yu's siege plan was ingenious. He not only deployed a large number of infantry and cavalry, but also reinforced his archers and crossbowmen to form a powerful firepower network. He also ordered a number of soldiers to carry weapons, ready to launch an assault on Zhang Ling's camp at the appropriate time.
"General! General!"
