Yan Ju's thoughts raced. But now Lian Po has actually retreated south. He must be trying to flee, to betray his country!
"Senior General Lian Po has always been wholeheartedly devoted to Zhao. An abrupt troop movement must mean some predicament has arisen," a nearby officer immediately retorted in his defense.
"What situation could there be to the south but Wei?"
"It seems Lian Po is afraid of death and has fled."
Yan Ju angrily rebuked them, then called for his trusted aide. "Go quickly and pursue Lian Po! Tell him if he dares to flee, dares to betray the state, Zhao will never forgive him!"
"Understood." The trusted aide immediately acknowledged.
Gripping the hilt of his sword, Yan Ju seethed. Lian Po... if you dare to flee, I swear I will kill you myself. But at that moment, he was completely unaware of the true situation.
「South of Jinyang City」
