Su Chengyu ordered Xiao Changyi to lead an army of 400,000 to flatten the Chilin Kingdom.
Currently, Xiao Changyi is commanding 150,000 troops, with 100,000 soldiers stationed at the foot of Everlasting Mountain, waiting for him. Another 150,000 troops, being closer to Xilin City and having already received their marching orders, are hurrying towards the city.
The day of departure was the sixth day of the eleventh month.
Winter had arrived, and the weather was bone-chillingly cold. Despite this, the army set out, beginning their campaign against the Chilin Kingdom.
At midday on the second day, Xiao Changyi arrived at the foot of Everlasting Mountain and united with the 100,000 troops there.
After a simple lunch and a brief rest, the combined army of 250,000 soldiers followed Xiao Changyi towards Xilin City.
Xilin City is the closest city in the Xiyun Kingdom to the Chilin Kingdom. Xiao Changyi planned to establish a foothold there before deciding on the next steps.
