Ji Country.
Jiaozi County, where 1.3 million troops of Ji Country were stationed. Ahead lies Shuanghuai County, the last stronghold of the rebels. After the Ji Army's decisive defeat of the rebels, they pursued them all the way here. However, Duke Long suddenly halted the advance and set up camp, staying put for over three months now.
On this day, in the Central Army Camp, a group of burly and imposing generals surrounded a central figure, a somewhat elegant but frail-looking man, fiercely pleading to go into battle.
The man, however, kept shaking his head, firmly forbidding any engagement and ordered two of the most aggressive generals to be dragged away and beaten severely, leaving them with wounds all over.
