"Your Majesty need not worry. I have already arranged for blacksmiths to forge iron chains to block the Luo River. They will not be able to get in!"
"However, how did Your Majesty learn that Liu Wei has a navy?"

"Grand Tutor, they are flying the banner of the King of Yunzhong, and their numbers seem to be the same as those from Hangu Pass!"
