"Your Majesty!"
"Quick, someone fetch the imperial physician!"
The officials of Ning Army saw Shen Qiu faint, already panicked by the news that the enemy had stolen behind them, and immediately became even more flustered.
For a moment, some went to check on him, others called for help, and still others gathered together, full of anxiety.
Seeing this scene, Bai Yian could no longer hold back, and with a shout, "Enough, all of you shut up!"
One shout, like a thunderclap on a clear day, snapped everyone to attention.
All eyes turned to Bai Yian, uncertain of what the Wuan Marquis was planning.
"Yuzhang is now defenseless, and the Chu bandits have crossed the borders; it is surely difficult to defend. We, situated in Jiangxia, are a lone army deep within the heart of Chu State, with both our land and water grain roads severed by the enemy. The main army will run out of food and fodder within days."
