Judgment of Dayu.

Summary

The chapter details the strategic maneuvers of the Ji Clan leader and the Wei Clan leader as they plan to attack Tie Tou Town, motivated by a fake order from the Ying He Clan leader. Despite initial enthusiasm, the Ji Clan's forces retreat during the battle, leading to a disheartened Wei Clan leader's withdrawal. The Ji Clan leader then expresses a desire to abandon the assault, preferring to face execution than certain defeat. They receive a message from Tie Tou, offering peace if they refrain from attacking, which prompts a discussion between the clan leaders about their loyalty to the court versus the Yi Emperor's family alliance. Ultimately, they decide to negotiate with Tie Tou for peace and to seek forgiveness from the court, sending a centurion as an envoy, accompanied by two dogs for intelligence gathering.
