Judgment of Dayu.

Summary

After quelling the Hong Shan Tribe's rebellion, the Grand Tutor remained there under Grand Minister Xia Qi's orders, using local clan chiefs as hostages to maintain control. The Grand Minister aimed to prevent further uprisings and prepare the Grand Tutor for future challenges. With local issues resolved, the Grand Tutor directed the Youqiong Clan to join forces with the Ji Zhou Mu to attack the Jiuli Clan, aiming to weaken the Sanmiao Alliance. The Grand Tutor organized logistics, ensuring supplies flowed to support the court's army. The Grand Tutor strategized the attack, with the Youqiong Clan assaulting from the border while the Ji Zhou Guard provided support. The Youqiong Clan gained the upper hand against the Jiuli Clan, prompting the Jiuli Elder to call for reinforcements from the Sanmiao Alliance. The Great Lord of the Jiuli Clan sought to assist but faced opposition from the Great Lord of the Sanmiao, who feared morale loss. Ultimately, they agreed to send General Tie Tou with three battalions to support the Jiuli Elder. Tie Tou and Zhou Chu, previously recognized for their efforts, were promoted to deputy generals, much to their delight. Meanwhile, Yi Tiao Long, feeling slighted by their promotion, was elevated to a more powerful position to balance morale. Tie Tou, eager to prove himself, received guidance from the Great Lord of the Sanmiao before leading his troops to support the Jiuli Clan. To avoid direct confrontation with the court's army, Tie Tou maneuvered his forces into the Jiuli Clan's territory, aiming to strike the Youqiong Clan's forces. As the Youqiong Clan pressed their attack, they were suddenly flanked by Tie Tou's cavalry, cutting off their support and altering the battle's dynamics.
