### Summary
The battlefield-wide confusion caused by the mysterious third army is masterfully resolved, revealing not a new player, but a brilliant strategic deception. The 100,000-strong force is exposed as a grand illusion orchestrated by none other than Shou Hei Kun, chief of Qin's military affairs. Using a small, mobile contingent to kick up immense dust clouds and display countless banners, he has created a phantom army, a specter of overwhelming force that has completely paralyzed the rebel advance on Kanyou. Ryo Fui’s commanders, fearing a devastating pincer attack from this unknown legion, halt their assault, their momentum shattered by uncertainty. This masterful feint buys invaluable time for the capital's defenders, allowing the outnumbered units of Xin, Ouhon, and Mouten to regroup and fortify their positions. The initial clash for the throne has been decided not by swords, but by a single, audacious bluff, shifting the tactical advantage decisively back to King Ying Zheng's faction.
