บท 910: Chapter 908: Chu Yihan's Strategy

This man named Lu Chongming was the defender of Bamboo Leaf Pass, having protected it for many years with abundant experience in border battles. He solved Zhou Tang's dilemma, "General Zhou, attempting to rescue General Su Hao in this manner is improper. Firstly, deploying a hundred thousand troops to engage in a fierce battle in the valley, we would surely suffer a severe drain against a well-prepared enemy force. It's not certain that we can rescue our men, and we may easily fall into encirclement by the remaining one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers of the Qi army. Not only could we lose General Su Hao, but we would also suffer hefty losses in our troops. Secondly, if Jingcheng were to fall, the common people would be left homeless, a loss that cannot easily be remedied. Your Highness is considering the welfare of the border's populace, you must not act rashly."

"General Lu speaks with good reason," Su Qingzhi commended.
