Huangfu Hao and his light cavalry had just reached the borders of Nanyang at dawn, preparing to rest and replenish themselves when the scout ahead reported.
"Grand General, it's not good, the Governor of Nanyang has fallen in battle. There was a traitor among the defenders of Nanyang City who opened the gates to the Yellow Turban rebels, and Nanyang City has fallen."
"What?"
Huangfu Hao's face changed.
Back in Bianliang, he knew that Nanyang City was still in the hands of his own people, so he hurried day and night to reach Nanyang.
Firstly, he intended to use Nanyang City for resupply, as they were cavalry, specifically light cavalry, carrying only one day's ration.
Secondly, by holding Nanyang City, he could prevent the situation from becoming too disadvantageous.
But with the loss of Nanyang City, the Yellow Turban rebels had greatly expanded their influence.
The situation had become difficult.
