Chapter 425: The Enemy at the Gate

The icy rain in early spring stopped, and the Han army set out. When they arrived in Guizhou, it was the Lantern Festival. After everyone ate "Floating Yuanzi" made of glutinous rice, the New Year's Festival was over. Guizhou City was surrounded by mountains and forests on all sides. So Zhu Gaoxu ordered that part of his troops be hidden in the mountains and forests to make it unclear to the enemy how many troops he had besieging the city. Then he mobilized the left and right armies to march eastward in a big way to get closer to Liu Ying's troops.
