This was just too absurd. In the decades he had spent leading troops and waging wars, he had never encountered such preposterousness.
To predict precisely the date of one's death? And down to the day?
Such things simply weren't done with prophecies!
Historical prophecies were usually extremely vague concepts that never specified exact times, because if the time didn't match up, the prophecy would be false, so what would be the point?
The recent Xin Si date referred to the ninth day of next month, which was utterly impossible.
Because Xue Ju was still alive and kicking, in very good shape.
But if it weren't the next Xin Si date, then the prophecy would have absolutely no power whatsoever.
You could stubbornly claim the prophecy referred to some Xin Si date ten years later, but would that be of any help on the current battlefield?
