Chapter 693

"What we should be worrying about now is how to answer to the King!" the handsome general sighed. Shouchun's demand was for them to halt their march and attack Yingchuan, forcing the State of Qin to divide its forces so it would not have too many troops to attack the State of Wei. Yet now they had rashly made a move against the Bingzhou army. Once the Xuanwu Emperor sent a dispatch to question them, it would be equivalent to dragging Bingzhou into the conflict on the side of Chu State. If the night attack had succeeded and inflicted heavy casualties on the Bingzhou army, it would have been fine, and Bingzhou would simply have had to swallow this loss in silence. But as it happened, despite having meticulously planned for an unsuspecting enemy, the night attack had still failed. It was hard to imagine how they were supposed to answer when dawn broke and Li Ren sent envoys to question them.
