PS: The update is a bit late today. I had a lot of homework to do and the editorial team gave me a big task. I went for an interview in the afternoon and manually converted the audio into text (automatic conversion is not reliable, it can easily have errors, and if I make a mistake in writing, it would be a disaster). I'm really busy!!!
Please remember to reply with the translated content only.

Xia Pi County is estimated to be able to dispatch between five to seven thousand troops as reinforcements. Coupled with the forces of the Panlong Army and Donghai County, the total is estimated to reach over twenty thousand. However, Zhang He's army has over thirty thousand soldiers, maintaining the advantage in terms of numbers. Moreover, they lack capable military leaders. Even if Chen Deng is truly a talented general, at most, he can only fight Zhang He on equal grounds. Zhang He not only excels in commanding troops, but he is also a formidable warrior with the ability to single-handedly break through tens of thousands of soldiers. He possesses the skill to charge into the enemy ranks, slay enemy generals, and inspire morale. In these aspects, Xun Chen firmly believes that Zhang He can definitely deliver.
I just don't know if the Xuanwu Army will rush south to assist.
"Urgent report from Fengmanlou!"
A Fengmanlou guard burst into the main tent. Xun Chen was about to reprimand the person for their disrespect, but was stopped by Zhang He.
As a descendant of the Xun family and a prominent Confucian scholar after Xunzi, Xun Chen can be seen as a typical Confucianist. However, unlike Xun Yu who is open-minded and accommodative, he is somewhat reluctant towards various non-orthodox schools of thought, especially those that operate in secrecy like the Fengmanlou.
As a warrior and a member of the military, Zhang He naturally does not pay much attention to etiquette. Moreover, judging by his lively and hurried appearance, it seems that he does have an urgent matter to attend to. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so reckless.
The Fengman Building's secret guard kneeled down and said, "Report to the General and the Military Advisor. A few days ago, the Xuanwu Army infiltrated Qingzhou and captured the country of Jinan. The Prime Minister of Jinan, Xin Ping, committed suicide by cutting his own throat in the north, while the defending general, Shen Rong, fought until he was exhausted and died!"
“什么！仲治，仲治他！”
荀谌如遭雷击，整个人后退了几步险些摔倒，被张郃搀住。
辛评与荀谌都是颍川人士，又都是颍川的名门子弟，所以早年便已相熟，后来二人又侍奉同一人为主，自然感情更加深厚。
"Yu Ruo, please accept my condolences."
Zhang He is also saddened by the deaths of Xin Ping and Shen Rong. After all, one was a renowned minister in Hebei, and he had some dealings with Shen Rong. I never would have imagined...
A spark ignited in Xun Chen's eyes as he looked at the secret guard. "How is the situation in Qingzhou now? Why didn't you report earlier?"
The secret guard also knew that Xun Chen was blaming him, so he explained, "It wasn't me who didn't report, I just arrived from Qingzhou not long ago. I rode my horse for three days and nights, and traveled thirty miles on mountain roads to get here. The Cao army in Xuzhou is probably still unaware of the situation. I couldn't locate your position when your army was previously at sea. I am still unsure about the current situation in Qingzhou, but our lord has appointed General Jiang Yiqu to hold the fort there."
Xun Shen pounded the table with his fist, feeling somewhat annoyed, but his thoughts remained clear.
"If it wasn't for our plan being leaked, then it must be that they coincidentally went with the Cao army. Considering Cao's defensive situation in Xuzhou and the conditions of cities like Quxian, the possibility of a leak is extremely low. It has to be a coincidence...Zhongzhi!"
Zhang He patted Xun Chen's shoulder. "You, my friend, now we need to think about how to deal with the troops from Donghai County."
Xun Chen took a deep breath and his face returned to normal, seemingly calm. He apologized with a look of remorse, "General, I am sorry, I lost control."
"Now we have three choices. First, we can stay in Xuzhou, fight a battle, capture Donghai County, use it as a base, and request supplies, weapons, and reinforcements from our lord via sea transportation. Second, we can withdraw from the sea back to Qingzhou, support General Jiang Yiqu, and repel the Xuanwu Army!" Translated content:
Zhang He looked at Xun Chen with a smile that seemed like a smile. "You Ruo, where is San?"
Xun Chen also looked at Zhang He with a smile that seemed like a smile. "Judging by Junyi's expression, he should have already guessed, there's no need for me to say it, right?" My reply: Zhang He smiled and asked Xun Chen, "You Ruo, where is San?" Xun Chen also smiled and replied, "Judging by Junyi's expression, he should have already guessed, there's no need for me to say it, right?"
"Just wondering if You Ruo has the guts to join me and turn the world upside down."
A sense of boldness arose in Zhang He's heart.
He was one of the four pillars of Hebei, but he didn't have many notable achievements to boast about. It wasn't because of his lack of ability, but rather the opponents he faced didn't have much fame, so even if he won, nobody really cared. This time, Zhang He wanted to prove himself.
A person who is always humble may actually have a heart that is more proud than others.
Zhang He and Xun Chen are about to engage in a life-or-death battle, but the secret guard of Fengmanlou is utterly confused. Translated content:
Xun Chen took out a piece of silk fabric, while Zhang He helped by grinding ink next to him. Xun Chen wrote down his plan with Zhang He and handed it to the secret guard from Fengmanlou.
"I don't care how you do it, but deliver this letter to General Jiang Yiqu's hands. Remember, this letter will determine the final outcome of the Qing-Xu battle, and it may even affect the main battlefield of Guandu."
Upon hearing this, the Wind Full Tower's secret guard immediately clasped his fist and said, "Even if I must sacrifice my life, I will make sure to deliver this letter to General Jiang Yiqu's hands! I will take the first step!"
With these words, the Wind Full Tower's secret guard swiftly rushed out of the tent, mounted a new warhorse, and departed from the camp.
In fact, Zhang He and Xun Chen's strategies are quite crazy.
Crazy to the point where one cannot imagine that such schemes would come from the humble and cautious Zhang He and the refined and elegant Xun Chen. Reply: It's surprising to see such unconventional tactics from Zhang He and Xun Chen, who are known for their modesty and refinement.
This so-called "San" is to adopt a posture of preparing to engage in a massive battle with the Caocao army stationed in Donghai Commandery. We will secretly concentrate our forces and first launch an attack to deter the Caocao army in Donghai Commandery. Then, we will cross the Yishan River and break through the entire Chengyang Commandery (formerly a kingdom, now a commandery), infiltrate Taishan Commandery, and attempt to launch a surprise attack on the Xuanwu army from behind. Meanwhile, Jiang Yiqu will launch a frontal assault to encircle and annihilate the Xuanwu army.
This idea, even someone like Guo Jia who leans towards unconventional thinking, would be taken aback and would probably call it madness.
However, if it really succeeds, there's a real possibility that the Xuanwu Army could be left in the Jinan Kingdom, severely weakened and unable to break free, or even completely destroyed. The probability of this happening is not low.
Of course, implementing this plan also comes with great risks.
The first and foremost concern is the confidentiality of the plan. Although Xun Chen does not like Feng Manlou, he has to admit that they are not much worse than Mingjingtang in this aspect, but they still lack the foundation compared to Mingjingtang. If even Feng Manlou cannot guarantee the secrecy, then who can be trusted?
Next is the journey across the entire Chengyang County. Although Qiu is on the edge of Donghai County, if the Chengyang County defenders are determined to obstruct Zhang He's army and are willing to sacrifice their lives to delay Zhang He, it is uncertain whether the Cao army will catch up with them.
As for the risks of that battle, at worst, we can retreat if we can't win.
The last issue is supply. Although the Yuan army has enough provisions and it wouldn't be a problem to support the entire journey through Chengyang Prefecture, the main forces need to move swiftly and lightly, making it impossible to carry such a large amount of supplies. Therefore, we can only rely on fighting to sustain ourselves in Chengyang Prefecture and seize provisions.
