At the entrance of Laozi Valley, Du Chong was on a high platform that provided a panoramic view of the surroundings. He had set up a tent and was leisurely enjoying fine wine and food inside, accompanied by two or three singing girls on his left and right.

He looked up at the messenger who had rushed in and asked, "How is the situation?"

"Report! Our mighty Emperor has just personally beheaded the Jin general, Pu Luhun. Our army's momentum is surging, and we are swiftly annihilating the Jin forces in the valley!"

"Oh!"

Du Chong abruptly stood up, pushing the singing girls aside. "Since when did His Majesty possess such awe-inspiring power! Send the orders: mobilize the entire army! Otherwise, our military exploits will be in vain! Left and right, bring me my sword and armor!"

With great enthusiasm, Du Chong quickly donned his armor, preparing to put on a spectacular show of dominance.

However, just as he rushed out of the command tent, his subordinates brought him another report.

"Report: Unknown Jin troops suddenly attacked our rear lines. We are on the verge of collapse!"

"Damn it! Where did these Jin soldiers come from!"

This Du Chong was adept at making money, pursuing women, and snatching credit, but when it came to warfare, he was clueless!

Seeing the sudden appearance of the Jin soldiers, he was dumbfounded. "Where did these Jin soldiers come from? Weren't we surrounding them? How did we end up being attacked from both front and rear?"

He hastily climbed to a high point and took a look. Good Lord! These Jin soldiers didn't even have horses to ride; they were stealthily marching, which is why they went unnoticed. Moreover, with just one glance, it was clear that their equipment was top-notch, even better than anything he had seen before...

In the blink of an eye, two more generals rushed in. "Report! General, our brothers can't hold on any longer. The Jin soldiers are advancing towards us. What should we do?"

"They can't hold on already?"

Du Chong panicked and climbed onto his horse, trembling as he shouted, "Quick, quick... Retreat! Tactical withdrawal, tactical withdrawal!"
