The snow disaster had not completely subsided, and the foreign clans from Dongbei were invading the border. Fortunately, the border had been prepared in advance, and the defense line had not been breached; the foreign clans were blocked at the border.
Despite this, there were still many casualties among the people living on the border.
When Zhulan heard the news, she was very concerned about Wu Ming. The information she received was passed on from others and much of it was not accurate. When she asked Zhou Shuren, he didn't have a clear understanding either.
Zhou Shuren was quite optimistic though, "This winter's surprise attack didn't break through our defenses, and the foreign clans have missed their opportunity. As long as we hold on through the winter, we will have the initiative come spring. This war, once it ends, and if we win, will ensure peace for the next decade or so."
Zhulan still felt uneasy, "I wonder how many lives have been lost to this war."
