Chu Qingzhi stood at the doorway, observing the situation inside the tent. "What's going on?"
Tang Jinghong looked up, his expression grim. "A scout just reported that Xia Sang Kingdom has occupied all of Chen'an. The area is now vast and sparsely populated. All distress signals have been intercepted, and by the time we found out, it was too late."
Meng Shengdong added seriously, "Chen'an is a vassal state of our Dalin. By occupying it, Xia Sang Kingdom has effectively declared war. This is a battle we must fight."
Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment. "Jinghong, what are your thoughts?"
Tang Jinghong's gaze was icy. "We must report to the court and simultaneously ally with General Chen to confront the enemy."
Chu Qingzhi paused. "You focus on the battle, and I'll handle the other matters."
Tang Jinghong nodded. "Alright."
