The news of the annihilation of the four kingdoms of Shanjung and the continued advance of the Chu army quickly spread throughout the Shanrong countries. The elders of Yu, Xiu, and Su immediately formed a large delegation to meet the king of Chuzhuang, and they tearfully accused Yongzi of all kinds of atrocities, told that they had no choice but to do so, and declared that the king of Chuzhuang was the king of Zhou Wu back then, and he had come to rescue them from fire and water. But many of them didn't do enough to do the show, and when they knelt on the ground, they showed the combat boots they were wearing on their feet, which were pulled from the Chu prisoners of war and corpses.

King Chu Zhuang did not show emotions of anger and hatred; On the contrary, he spoke in a very mild tone, but in a harsh tone. He condemned them for disrespecting the heavens, aiding and abetting abuse, and committing serious crimes against the state of Chu, which were enough to wipe out the Shanrong country. When some of the Rong lords were so anxious that they were about to collapse, the king of Chuzhuang changed his words and began to comfort them again, he cited the example of Ziyi, and explained to them the truth that "after passing and changing, 'benefit' is great".

Finally, the king of Chu Zhuang said: "The army of Bugu came here not only for the state of Chu, but also for the kings. The mediocre is tyrannical and insatiable, which of you small Shanjung countries has not been burdened with heavy labor and heavy taxes? You guys! There are treasures that dare not be revealed, and there are beautiful jade that dare not be worn. The most beautiful women in your country fill the harem of Yongguo, but the most handsome boy becomes the eunuch of Yongguo. And what do you get? Is it just for a pair of combat boots for the soldiers of the Chu State?

"Combat boots, Bugu cannot give them to you, because they represent the dignity and prestige of the Chu State, and they can only be worn on the feet of the soldiers of the Chu State (those who wear the wrong "shoes" immediately take off their combat boots in fear and kneel to present them to the Chu people), but Bugu can give you brocade, pearls, gold and jade.

"Yongguo has not yet succumbed, so Bugu must continue to conquer. You have seen the good fruits of Ziyi and the evil consequences of Yongzi, if you want to be friends with the Chu State, please stay and form an alliance with Bugu, and those who oppose the Chu State will leave here immediately; Those who leave will not be harmed, but when they return home, they must step up their preparations for war, and we will see you on the battlefield in Japan! ”

None of the Lord Rong dared to leave—otherwise they wouldn't have come. The Rong lords made a bloody alliance with the king of Chuzhuang and paid a large number of hostages. After the ceremony, they went back separately to prepare for the Chu army's attack on Yongguo.

The Chu army was divided into two divisions: the Chu Right Army, the Qin Division and the Shanrong troops reached the opposite bank of Yongfang City; The Left Army and the Ba Division marched to the north of the kingdom. King Chuzhuang and Cheng Jia led the Chinese army into the country of Hangguo, thinking that the coalition army would be the backup.

The Stony Brook fiasco and the death of Yongzi did not cause panic among the mediocrities, but instead aroused their intense anger and great hatred. The philistines elected the bravest, most ferocious, strongest and most stubborn youngest son "Leopard" as the new monarch in the great mourning of the whole country. Under the leadership of the leopard, the philistines re-recruited their troops, contacted allies, and prepared to fight to the death against the Chu army and traitors.

Outside Fangcheng is a slowly flowing blocked water, and the river beach on the other side of the blocked water was originally flat and wide, but because of the lush vegetation, it looks narrow and cramped; Behind the river beach is a hillside that is not steep.

When the Chu army arrived on the other side of Fangcheng, the Yong people were recruiting troops, so the Chu people were confident and bold to cut down trees, clear obstacles, fill in ravines, and build camps.

When Dou Pan first saw the setting of the gate of the Yong Great Wall, he felt very strange, because the narrow open space in front of the gate could not gather a large number of troops at all, and the dock was not near the city gate, so the location of this city gate design seemed to be very problematic.

Later, according to one of the oldest captives of the Yongguo, his grandfather heard older people tell him when he was a child, that in the early days there was an extremely open flat land outside the city gate, and that the mediocre people could grow grain in the open field, and that the river channel blocking the river was on the other side of the mountain. But one year, a flash flood broke out, a mudslide blocked the old road, and the river course changed, which became what it is today. The original cultivated land was separated by the river on the opposite bank. Later, the philistines reclaimed large tracts of land elsewhere, so the cultivated land on the other side of the river was abandoned.

When the encampment of the Chu army was completed, the new army of Yongguo was also recruited. Due to the thick and tall trees of the local primeval forest, the newly built Chu camp looks particularly majestic. The Chu people also deliberately built several extremely high watchtowers, standing on the towers and looking out, any activities of the people in the square city can be seen at a glance. The Chu people often pointed at the mediocre people from the tower, whistled and laughed, and the mediocre people were very annoyed by this.

The fortifications of both sides are defensive, and each side wants to draw the other out to attack rather than take the initiative to attack, so both sides are constantly provoking; Skirmishes continue, and large-scale engagements are invisible.

In the end, it was the mediocre who couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead in attacking. It turned out that the Chu people often condescendingly fired arrows into the city from the towers, occasionally injuring one or two people and causing a small riot, while the arrows of the mediocre people could not be shot.

On this day, when the Chu people were carrying out routine provocations, a famous warrior of Yongguo put a sharp arrow on two hard bows and shot it at the tower, and the sharp arrow suddenly broke through the air, and it was about to hit the enemy soldiers; But the lookout subconsciously stretched out his hand and grabbed it. The Chu camp suddenly cheered and thundered, but the mediocre people were extremely annoyed. This is not the end, the Chu soldier actually poured a soak of urine on this arrow, and then put it on the bow and shot it back. And that's not all, the sharp arrow happened to shoot down a noble woman of extremely high status who was watching the excitement.

Yongbao could no longer bear the humiliation, and immediately beat the drums to gather the generals and rushed out of the city gate with his troops.

The war drums of the Chu army responded, and the soldiers quickly assembled, waiting for the commander's order. Dou nervously observes the enemy's movements, intending to attack when the enemy is half-defeated. But the truth was not as he expected: the Yong army did not cross the river, but divided into two parts, and went up and down the riverbank.

Yong Leopard's intention was very obvious, he wanted to avoid the strong frontal defense of the Chu army and attack on both sides. You must know that the Yong army entering the mountains is like a dragon sinking into the abyss, and if the plan succeeds, the Chu army is in danger of being surrounded and annihilated.

But as a battle-hardened veteran general, Dou Pan will never ignore the safety of the flanks. He built two auxiliary battalions behind the two sides of the main camp, on the gentler terrain behind the forest. The two barracks were sheltered by a dense jungle that could not be observed by the mediocrities on the opposite bank, and it was the Shanjung and Qin troops stationed in the camps.

Dou Pan saw through the enemy's intentions, and he also sent two groups of light troops to move in the same direction as the Rong army on the opposite bank to prevent them from crossing the river by surprise; The liaison officer of the Shan Rong nationality in the coalition army rushed to the auxiliary camp to deliver the news.

When the foot of the mountain that blocked the river stopped the advance of the Chu troops, the Chu people could only watch the mediocre people on the other side of the river march away.
