Lu Yuan had ample confidence in the avatar he had strengthened several times over.
It was based on this confidence
that he formulated a battle plan for the fourth and final Northern Expedition in Yuzhou, which would decide the fate of Central State, focusing on top-tier warriors as the breakthrough force.
So far, the plan was progressing smoothly; Yu Bi City had fallen with ease.
This first battle of the Northern Expedition had gotten off to a good start.
…
On the 20th day of the second month in the 44th year of the Shenwu era, Chu forces attacked Yu Bi City and captured it in one day, annihilating all two hundred thousand Zheng defenders within the city in a single morning.
Three days later, the elite Chu forces surged into the heart of Zheng and besieged Gaoyang Prefecture's city.
