When Zhao Chen learned that Zhao Zheng had been defending Shanping for almost 15 days without receiving a single soldier's reinforcement, he was almost dumbfounded. He truly did not expect that Shanping would be without sufficient reinforcements.
These past few days, he had been focusing on the attack on Fengjiang and had no time to manage the matters of Shanping—considering that moving forward over 100 kilometers with hundreds of thousands of people is no small feat, it requires a great deal of effort and time from the commander.
Thus, his recent attention had always been on the attack on the west side of Fengjiang and he never thought that the situation in the direction of Shanping had already deteriorated to such an extent.
Initially, he thought that since he had secured a major victory at Fengjiang, logically speaking, Zhao Yu and his subordinates would definitely pay more attention to the situation at Fengjiang.
