Chaos, total chaos.
The Yuzhou battlefield had turned into a complete mess the moment the Chu army made its move.
The fourth Northern Expedition of the Chu State, eagerly watched by the entire world, progressed wildly, like an out-of-control war chariot, with exhilarating speed.
The Chu army set out from Liang in February and attacked Yu Bi City in March, initiating the first battle of the Northern Expedition.
Up to this point, everything seemed normal.
That was until Yu Bi City was breached in a single day and taken by the Chu army.
After that, Emperor Chu Luyuan's army, as if it had a cheat code, broke through Gaoyang, Pingyang, and Hexi Prefectures in just one month, obliterating the main forces of Zheng and Tang, stationed in the western territory of Yuzhou, in a single stroke.
By April, after annihilating the main Tang force, they turned eastward, invading the lands of the Xu State.
Here, they replicated the scenario previously seen in Zheng and Tang.
