Map of the Kingdom's Warfare.

Summary

Deputy General Duan Xian Da suggests to Li Jing that they could turn the situation around by pretending to rescue Yuyang County, but Li Jing believes their forces are too few to make a meaningful impact without risking their supply depot. Concerned about Gao Kai Dao's potential attack on Yuyang County, Li Jing decides to request aid from Zhang Xuan. They send a message to Hejian County to enlist the help of General Zhao Liang and his troops. Meanwhile, Zhang Xuan is advancing with his forces toward Zhuojun, planning a coordinated attack on Youzhou. He learns that the Tang army is facing challenges in Yanmen County and strategizes on how to exploit weaknesses in Liu Wuzhou's forces.

The chapter concludes with Luo Yi's army crossing the river to seize Lushui Warehouse, despite the risks posed by the approaching Qingzhou forces.
