In the twelfth year of Shenwu, in September, the Ziyun Dao of Ning Country rebelled. They openly raised flags and changed their allegiances, announcing their submission to Great Chu.
In an instant, of the two prefectures and seventeen counties in Ning Country, eight switched their allegiances, instantly becoming territories of Chu.
An army of eight hundred thousand, with four hundred thousand changing their colors, pledged loyalty to the King of Chu.
And Great Chu reacted swiftly as well.
At the moment Ziyun Dao surrendered, Huang Xuan of Yuzhang Prefecture led an army of one hundred thousand to press towards the counties of Xin'an and Dongyang in Linhai, joining forces with the two hundred thousand rebel troops of Ziyun Dao's Xuan Yin and Xuan Yi, gaining control over various counties south of Jinling.
