Great Xia, Year Thirteen, Ninth Day of the Sixth Month
As night finally fell, less than a quarter of an hour after the 150,000 central army led by Xia Chuan slowed down, a long line of torches appeared on both the left and right sides, clearly marking the march.
"Report to the Minister, the 100,000 troops on the left have arrived!"
"Report to the Minister, the 100,000 troops on the right have arrived!"
Luo Yuan and Yuan Cheng, the two main commanders, arrived together, reporting to Xia Chuan in the air, and then looked down at the three branches of the army below, their expressions unusually excited.
It's not surprising for these two men; since the official start of the Northern Expedition last December, Great Xia took less than half a month to annihilate the Northern Five Towns, and subsequently won three victories against Cai Qiu, forcibly expanding Great Xia's territory to the Chen Cang's Evergreen Valley territory, making significant gains.
