The people of Liang had been besieged within the city, cut off from external contact. Although they had experts helping to relay messages, how could their efficiency and preparedness compare to the Chu army outside the city?
In fact,
the Chu army had learned of the arrival of the Xu Army as early as ten days ago, right when the Xu Army entered the territory of Liang.
Since that time, the Chu army had begun to scheme and prepare specifically for this Xu force.
"The Xu people have reached the north of the city by now, haven't they?"
Inside the Central Army tent, after Lu Yuan had finished reviewing a document and set down his pen, he turned to an attendant beside him and asked.
"Your Majesty, the Xu people arrived at the north of the city just a moment ago."
The attendant standing by, upon hearing the inquiry, immediately replied respectfully, "Real Qingyu is currently engaging with these Xu vanguards according to plan, and the battle has already begun."
