While anxiously awaiting news of the situation in Jizhou from Qingzhou, the second urgent piece of intelligence finally arrived from Jizhou.
"..." Fa Zheng looked at the intelligence report, and his originally slightly anxious mood calmed down instantly, his whole demeanor returning to the composed state befitting a strategist.
"Master Jia, according to this intelligence, Gan Xingba lives up to his name as the chief commander, truly a peerless brave general of this era, his courage and grasp of battle opportunities indeed astonishing," Fa Zheng said, holding the report as he went to brief Jia Xu on the recent situation in Jizhou. Guo Fengxiao had already led troops to Licheng, bringing along Guan Yu, the newly arrived Wei Yan, the professional blade-bearing Zhou Cang, as well as Pei Yuanshao who came with them.
