The hawk messenger letter from Su Rong had not yet reached the capital, Daliang, when Yan Huisheng, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, had already received news of Dawei making aggressive moves towards Daliang.
Yan Huisheng was surprised, "Dawei is mobilizing troops?"
"Yes, Dawei has a force that, three days ago, attacked the border fort. Fortunately, the border general Zheng Yun was alert and had always been on guard against Dawei, preventing them from succeeding."
"What were the casualties?"
"Several thousand troops were wounded."
"It was just a single sneak attack?" Yan Huisheng frowned.
"This one attack has already caused severe consequences. If it hadn't been for Zheng Yun's quick response and having informed Lord Su Xingze in Jibei City, who then immediately dispatched reinforcement, our border post might have already fallen by now."
Yan Huisheng nodded, paused for a moment, then ordered: "Prepare the carriage."
"Your Highness, are you going to visit the palace?"
