When Chen Xi and the others were about to appear, Mao Jie arrived fashionably late, as predicted by Sima Yi and Fa Zheng, but perfectly timed, leaving Fa Zheng with a lot to say yet unsure how to express it to Mao Jie.
The timing of Mao Jie's arrival was so precise that Fa Zheng had no extra time to chat with him. If it were a coincidence, Fa Zheng felt he had lived all these years for nothing.
[Although I've been seemingly lax lately, General Zhao's White Horse Soldiers have been patrolling constantly, shooting down any messenger birds that might appear in the sky. How on earth did Mao Xiaoxian manage to time his arrival so accurately?] Fa Zheng felt somewhat melancholic, thinking the opponent might have a method of communication he was unaware of.
