Map of the Kingdom's Warfare.

Summary

Zhang Jin Cheng's 80,000 troops and Feng Xiao Ci's forces faced a standoff for nearly half a month. After suffering a defeat, Zhang Jin Cheng adopted a strategy of avoidance, splitting his troops and feigning surrender to mislead Feng Xiao Ci. This allowed him to regroup and expand his forces significantly. Meanwhile, Feng Xiao Ci, low on supplies, sent General Chen Gang to ambush a bandit supply convoy but was deceived into a trap set by Zhang Jin Cheng.

The aftermath left the fields outside Qinghe County littered with corpses, marking a tragic defeat for Feng Xiao Ci's forces.
