Judgment of Dayu.

Summary

The Guandou army easily captured Great Lord City of the Zhen clan, raising suspicions of an ambush. The Elder of the Guandou clan ordered a withdrawal and a search, finding no enemies, realizing the Zhen clan's Great Lord had escaped. He decided to march towards Wang Ji to seize it before the imperial court could respond. Citizens accused the Guandou army of mistreatment, prompting the Elder to execute offending soldiers and compensate victims to avoid public outrage. The Guandou army quickly advanced into Huai Shan territory, prompting the Zhen clan's Great Lord to alert the Huai Shan clan for assistance against the Guandou army. The Huai Shan Great Lord organized troops to intercept the Guandou army and requested support from the Tu Shan and Xia Hou clans. The Zhen clan's Great Lord, with limited forces, opted to harass the Guandou army rather than confront them directly. As the Guandou army ignored their tactics, the Zhen clan's light cavalry executed surprise attacks, causing casualties among the Guandou soldiers while retreating to avoid engagement.
