Western Zhou Kingdom, Imperial City.

At this moment, there was silence in the main hall of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and only the sighs were so clearly audible.

Accompanied by a burst of footsteps coming from outside the hall, Zheng Sheng, the teacher of the young master, slowly appeared at the door of the hall.

Just when Zheng Sheng stepped into the palace door, sighs from the front poured directly into his ears like magic sounds.

Looking in the direction from which the voice came, Ji Chaoying, who was sitting on the throne, came into Zheng Sheng's eyes. That face was full of depression.

When Zheng Sheng saw the scene in front of him, he quickly walked a few steps and came to Ji Chao, "I, Zheng Sheng, pay my respects to the young master."

It wasn't until the sound of greeting rang in his ears that Ji Chao felt that someone had come in front of him, "Oh, sir is here."

Seeing Ji Chao so depressed, Zheng Sheng stepped lightly and asked with a bit of concern: "Young master, are you worried about the war?"

When he heard Zheng Sheng mentioning the battle situation, a flash of clarity suddenly appeared in Ji Chao's eyes, but it disappeared in just an instant.

"well……"

Another sigh full of powerlessness sounded in the hall, and Ji Chao said in a deep voice: "To be honest, sir, I am indeed worried about the war in my heart, but what can I do?"

"If I were to fight Gongzi Gen alone, I would still be confident that I could defeat him with the strength in my hands. But this time I have to face not just Gongzi Gen, but 30,000 people standing behind him.

Three Jin Allied Forces."

"The strength of the three Jin coalition forces cannot be matched by the army under my command. After successive battles, our army not only failed to gain any advantage, but was retreating steadily."

"Even now, our army can only retreat from the royal city, relying on the relatively strong city wall to barely resist the offensive of the three Jin coalition forces."

Every word came out of Ji Chao's mouth, and his voice became louder and louder, as if he wanted to vent all his anger at the unfavorable battle situation in the past few days.

Zheng Sheng shook his head gently and looked at Ji Chao, who was already looking a little crazy in front of him. He understood that the situation of consecutive defeats had put a heavy burden on the opponent's shoulders.

"Please don't worry too much, sir." He took another step closer to Ji Chao and heard Zheng Sheng softly comforting: "Our army is indeed no match for the three Jins now, but Qin's 30,000-strong army is not far from the royal city. Once

The Qin army arrived..."

Before Zheng Sheng could finish his words of comfort, Ji Chao, who was sitting above him, immediately interrupted his words with some impatience.

"I don't know how many times I have said these words, but the Qin army is still late, so I can only hide in this royal city."

At this point, Ji Chao looked at Zheng Sheng with a bit of dissatisfaction in his eyes, and a bit of reproach in his tone.

"In my opinion, if you had acted more decisively and killed Mr. Gen, why would there have been so many things happening today?"

Facing Ji Chao's accusation, Zheng Sheng wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

As Ji Chao said, if he could have killed Gongzi Gen at the beginning, there would have been no rebellion by the other party later, let alone the troops of the three Jin Dynasties.

For a moment, thoughts were racing through his mind, and Zheng Sheng felt a sense of despair.

"Young Master is right, everything is due to Zheng Sheng's poor behavior."

Zheng Sheng stopped looking at Ji Chao. After saying this, he walked out of the hall step by step.

Ji Chao slowly stood up from his throne. Looking at Zheng Sheng who was gradually disappearing from his sight, he gently raised his right arm.

He wanted to save his teacher, but the lonely figure made him not know how to speak.

When Zheng Sheng completely disappeared from his sight, Ji Chao sat back on the throne powerlessly. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness in his heart.

Time passed minute by minute, and no one knew how long it had passed before a rush of footsteps appeared outside the hall.

"Report..."

"Young Master, the Qin Army's 30,000 troops have arrived less than ten miles away from the royal city."

"What! Great."

Hearing the news in his ears and looking at the messenger below, the expression on Ji Chao's face changed from loneliness to surprise.

…

Ji Chao in the royal city received news that the Qin army was about to arrive, and the three Jin coalition forces on the other side also heard traces of the Qin army.

In the main tent of the coalition camp, Wei General Gongsun Cuo was currently sitting in his position, reading the battle report from the front line with great solemnity.

Although South Korea was the initiator of this intervention in the civil strife of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Wei is now the dominant one among the three Jins. The other South Korea and Zhao have also expressed their willingness to follow Wei's leadership at the Yecheng meeting.

So this time, the leader of the three Jin coalition forces naturally fell on the leader of the Wei army, Gongsun Cuo.

After browsing the contents of the battle report, Gongsun Cuo handed the battle report to Zhao Ye, the commander of the Zhao army on his left, while speaking in a deep voice to the generals in the account.

"Now that Qin's 30,000-strong army is about to arrive, you generals may wish to speak freely about how our coalition forces should deal with this Qin army coming from afar."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao General Zhao Ye, who had already finished browsing the battle report in his hand, stood up immediately and gave a military salute to Gongsun Cuo above.

"General Gongsun, the last general thought that the Qin army came from afar and it was a time when the troops and horses were trapped. Our army should take this opportunity to launch an offensive against it, so that we can destroy this Qin army in one go."

After Zhao Ye finished speaking these words, most of the generals present nodded in agreement, and they also had some recognition of this suggestion in their hearts.

Just when everyone was eager to prepare for the upcoming battle, a somewhat discordant voice appeared in everyone's ears.

"General Gongsun, I think what General Zhao said is a bit exaggerated."

Following the direction from which the voice came, the eyes of all the generals in the tent focused on the figure in the front on the right.

This person is none other than the leader of the Korean army this time, Korean Sima Han Yue.

Facing the eyes of everyone looking at him, Han Yue slowly stood up and said, "Generals, you might as well think about it, the Qin army came from afar, isn't our coalition fighting for a long time?"

"At this moment, the morale of our coalition forces is low. If we launch an offensive rashly against the Qin army, I am afraid that instead of achieving results, we will lose soldiers in vain."

After looking around for a week and taking in the expressions on the faces of all the generals in the tent, Han Yue spoke in a deep voice to everyone and the general Gongsun Cuo.

"Reporting to General Gongsun, the general believes that our army should retreat ten miles. This move will not only allow our army to rest and reorganize, but also avoid the Qin army's edge."

After listening to Han Yue's explanation just now, Gongsun Cuo also believed that his suggestion was indeed a very safe approach.

After some weighing, Gongsun Cuo immediately stood up from his position as commander, and his sharp eyes swept over the generals in front of him.

"Generals, obey the order!"

"The end is here!"
