Time has led us to the present.
With the fall of Xichang, Chu's control over Dongping Prefecture has increased significantly.
Le Ling City has thus completely lost communication with Dongping Prefecture.
Except for confirming that Wuyan City, which is closer to Le Ling, is still holding out.
The situation in Shouzhang City has become utterly unknown; nothing can be ascertained.
Since nothing is known, according to the fearsome reputation that the Chu army has made for itself and considering that they are now on the brink of Le'an Prefecture, Xu State's monarch and officials assumed that Shouzhang City has fallen along with Xichang City to the Chu army.
And with the loss of these two cities, the only barrier left to the west of Le Ling City is Wuyan City.
If any problems arise with this city, then there will be nothing left to stop an invasion from the west of Le Ling.
