The 100,000 Chu soldiers scattered and fled. Lu Li did not order a pursuit, but immediately replenished their food and weapons.
"Sir, should we hold Pingcang? Or should we ask Wang Jian for help?" Meng Wu asked.
Lu Li shook his head. If they were to defend the city, they would only face certain death.
Now that his biggest food problem has been solved, and he still has 300,000 troops at his disposal, he may not be unable to fight!

"Prime Minister, how could he dare? It's impossible!"
Yun Qingshu immediately became anxious and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't forget that Lu Li has 300,000 Qin troops under his command! He has also captured Pingcang and has grain. How could he not dare to attack our capital?"
