"Whom does Your Majesty think is suitable for this task?"
Realizing that this tactic required an excellent general to execute, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but inquire about suitable candidates.
Liu Hong immediately thought of Lü Bu and said, "Let Fengxian go. The Bingzhou cavalry has been training for so long, it's time to hone their skills on the battlefield!"
Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "If they suffer a defeat on their first battlefield experience, won't that damage their morale?"
"Winning battles isn't a skill; only those who know how to lose battles are truly skilled at fighting!" Liu Hong said with a laugh.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right!"

Chu Qian said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will do my utmost to facilitate the alliance!"
"Hehe~ That's good. I'll be waiting here for your good news!"
Seeing Chu Qian's fearless attitude, Liu Hong could only offer some words of encouragement with a smile, without revealing his true thoughts to avoid discouraging him.
After Chu Qian left in excitement, Xi Zhicai came out from the back hall.
"Your Majesty, should we communicate with Marquis Dingbian about things in Jincheng? If he gets angry, things could get difficult to handle!"
Liu Hong shook his head and laughed, "No need, Marquis Dingbian knows what to do!"
