Victory

After Xiao Juan left, Tang Guixi pretended to retreat and hid in the forest near Heng City with her troops.

That night, a small team quietly left Heng City.

They rushed in the direction of Xingning City.

However, before they could run far, they were caught by the Eastern Expedition Army, who had been lying in an ambush by the roadside.

Tang Guixi ordered someone to interrogate them.

After a few rounds of torture, the Chen Nation soldiers cried and confessed everything.

It turned out that there was not much food stored in Heng City. After being surrounded by the Eastern Expedition Army for a month, the food in the city had been exhausted. The Chen Army was extremely hungry. They even had designs on the commoners in the city and began to kill and cook them.

In this way, it aroused intense anger among the citizen. The city kept erupting with riots where the commoners resisted with their lives.
