What would later come to be known as The Great Siege of Si Zhou had drawn on for years. In Luo Yang, Xu Chang, He Nei and other walled cities the Xia forces held firm and bombarded any enemy approach with catapult fire. The White Riders disappeared into hiding and were only ever seen in their numerous well-executed supply raids and ambushes. The invading Yan armies based themselves out of the conquered Dong Jun and repeated a constant cycle of building siege weapons, attacking Luo Yang or Xu Chang, losing their siege weapons and retreating to build more. Though locked in a bitter struggle with no easy end in sight, each of the three leaders was determined to win through honourable means, without needing to resort to trickery or profit from external influences on their enemies.
On a bright Spring morning in 232 AD, soldiers from all sides of the conflict were shocked to see their respective leaders setting out from their main camps with only a handful of commanders, leaving their bodyguards behind. Each of the three leaders made their way to Wu Chao, on an island located equally distant between all three forces. At Wu Chao, the three leaders met and each confirmed that their scouts had spotted the advance of the Lu Dynsty's central army, now leaving Shou Chun and heading closer. The three leaders, pledging themselves to an honourable and isolated conflict, agreed to each others' terms and departed without a drop of blood being shed.
The next day, at each main camp a general ceasefire was announced lasting one month. Villagers sighed in relief and soldiers cheered and feasted. From each of the main camps an elite force of cavalry and saboteurs set out that very day. The strike forces met near Wu Qing, combined, and headed southeast. A month later, just as the ceasefire was coming to an end, the combined force returned, having ambushed and routed the Lu army.
The task force split, each side returning to its camp, for tomorrow they would be enemies once again.
Ruse (Shinrei) is dead. He was Wei Xu, General of Divine Might, a Military Officer of the Lu Dynasty.
