Liu Chaiji stared at her defiantly, frowning as he asked, "You admire that kind of weak man?"
Zheng Quchi: "..." Hey, hey, hey, isn't your description a bit too vicious? Does he even remember that person is your own brother?
"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Don't worry, Lieutenant Zheng, I will definitely protect you when the fighting starts, absolutely!" Liu Chaiji solemnly assured him.
Zheng Quchi adjusted the helmet he had just put on, put on his armor, and armed himself from head to toe: "Take care of yourself. After all, you haven't even become the captain I promised you yet. It would be such a pity if you stopped here."
"So, we must win, and we must all survive together."

On the other side of Julu Kingdom, She Kou waited and guarded outside the Ye camp all night. Just as the rain was about to stop, a thick fog rose up by the lake, obstructing his view again. He said it was bad luck.
To prevent the Ye army from escaping, they hadn't slept at all. Now that it was daylight, the weather was gloomy and rainy, making it completely unsuitable for launching a general offensive.
However, this inappropriateness applies to enemy forces at the same level. For petty women like Zheng Quchi, such caution is unnecessary.

"Tell the soldiers to prepare immediately!"
Just as She Kou finished giving the order, a scout rushed back.

Upon hearing this, She Kou and Mu Jin exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with absurdity and amusement.
"You're saying the Ye army is surrounding our forces?"
Seeing that the general did not believe him, the scout immediately swore that it was absolutely true.
"Then have you found out how many troops the enemy has?" Mu Jin asked.
The scout replied uncertainly, "There's a thick fog around the lake, so I couldn't see very clearly, but the number of people is definitely large, probably no less than three thousand."
"His Ye camp only has three or four thousand miscellaneous soldiers in total, but this time he has almost sent out his entire force. It seems that Zheng Quchi is in a hurry?" A hint of smug and cheerful mockery flashed in She Kou's eyes.
