"Report, Liu Bei's army has suddenly increased its pace." Xun Shen, who was contemplating whether to give Tian Feng and the others some hints in the next step, was interrupted by the sudden report, slightly raising his head to look at the messenger, "Order Chunyu Qiong and his men to prepare to defend Fann County. Do not leave the city to meet the enemy."
[Why is it at this moment?] After the messenger left, Xun Shen frowned in thought.
[This approach seems somewhat akin to Liu Ye counteracting my design after seeing through it. However, logically speaking, with Liu Ye's mindset, he would either directly strike Fann County earlier or set up camp right there to fortify defenses. This situation shouldn't happen now.] Xun Shen pressed his fingers against his temple, pondering.
