Chapter 973
A letter traveled the vast distance to Cheng Dalei, who had anticipated that Li Xingzai would cross the river for a distant campaign, yet he did not expect Li's actions to be so rapid.
However, how to respond remained an issue, so Cheng Dalei gathered his subordinates to discuss the matter.
Li Xingzai of today was no longer the Li Xingzai of the past, his reputation now unmatched across the land. Unless something unexpected occurred, he would undoubtedly claim that ultimate and supreme position.
After much thought, Cheng Dalei decided to have Cui Baiyu personally pen a reply to Li Xingzai.
With Li Xingzai in the Eastern Sea and Cheng Dalei in the northwest, separated by a vast distance, the idea of a joint alliance between the two armies was wishful thinking. However, Cheng Dalei could advance in the northwest simultaneously, distracting the Rong Clan's forces, thus aiding Li Xingzai's efforts in the Central Plains.
