This scene is much like the past, except the intensity has escalated. Otherwise, it is practically a complete re-enactment.
If this continues, will he repeat the mistakes of the past and relive the scene of tragic defeat?
Xiao Ye does not know, but there is a faint unease in his heart.
This time deploying troops, as in the past, splits into a three-pronged offensive.
Two in the light, one in the dark; Li Mubai attacks and suppresses the Lanruo bandits, while Song Jian battles him at Weishui.
There's not much to say about the former; mere bandits, like clay chickens and dogs made of mud, cannot withstand the iron-clad armies under Li Mubai's command.
As for the latter... truth be told, he has little confidence in defeating this old rival, Song Jian, breaking through this barrier, and capturing Jinyang.
The key to victory or defeat lies in the Underworld, in that battle of deities!
