The Gu Family's army had started preparing to besiege the city since yesterday, but aside from a few people like Gu Changqing, no one knew exactly which city they were going to attack.
According to the news brought back by the scouts of the Gu Family's army, the Chen Kingdom's army anticipated that Gu Changqing would first attack Beiyang City, and right now, Ye City had already begun to send reinforcements to Beiyang City.
"This is very good, Lingguan City with its thirty thousand troops, is not our match," said one of the commanders in the barracks. "Moreover, Beiyang City is farther from Lingguan City than Ye City is. If the Chen Kingdom's forces really go to Beiyang City, even if they realize they have been deceived and want to turn back to reinforce Lingguan City, they might not make it in time."
Gu Changqing looked at the sand table map of the cities and estimated the distance between them in his mind.
