When Chen Xi arrived in Yingchuan, he had already received quite a bit of important intelligence, though on the whole, none of it was good news.
The situation in Youzhou in the north was steadily sliding towards a worse direction, with nearly seventy to eighty thousand Xianbei People crossing Jundu Mountain into Youzhou. Based on the current information Jia Xu had, Sheni Pei was completely unable to suppress such a large Xianbei force.
Although the idea that one Han could equal five barbarians was widely accepted, if the Han Dynasty were to lose, it would be an unimaginable boost to the morale of the Hu People.
From the current circumstances, Sheni Pei had basically run out of options. If Yann Liang and Wen Chou, Zhang He and Gao Lan, Juo Yi, and others were still alive, the seven thousand troops might still have a chance to take down tens of thousands of Xianbei archers.
