Tian Feng frowned and slowly said, "My lord, all of this must be orchestrated by someone in the shadows!"

Tian Feng analyzed, "First of all, the timing of this event is somewhat coincidental. We have only recently conquered Youzhou and are in no condition to launch a western expedition. It is quite unusual that news of our intention to attack Bingzhou has just come out at this critical juncture!"
