A force of 250,000 troops captured Youzhou City, forcing Wen Xingzhi to withdraw from Youzhou, which can be considered a complete victory. However, Wen Xingzhi's retreat direction is Liangzhou, making things seem rather bleak.
If Biyun Mountain has already dispatched troops to seize Liangzhou, coupled with the forces directed towards Liangzhou following Wen Xingzhi from Youzhou, it means Liangzhou is besieged on both sides, and Zhou Wu will definitely not be able to hold out.
Although Ling Hua and Yan Qing had said that after capturing Youzhou City, they would celebrate, the two indeed have no heart for it now.
Zhou Chen and Zhou Ying sensed that things were not going well and were extremely anxious, seeking out Ling Hua. Though aware that the army would rest for the night and set off for Liangzhou early the next morning, they feared too many changes might occur overnight, so they wanted to depart ahead of schedule.
