If Shang Chen had not approached him to discuss cooperation, he would have promised to send 60,000 troops to support Ruyang City.
When King Ruyang goes east to capture Yunjing City, he only needs to give several cities including Ruyang City and Caishi City to the Shang Kingdom.
King Ruyang would not have easily believed Shang Chen, but this time he cooperated with Bai Ziqi in Yunjing City.
Not only did he fail to poison Emperor Yunlang and kill Bai Ziche, but he also lost a powerful fighter, Bai Ziqi.
They also suffered heavy casualties, with more than 100,000 soldiers killed or injured.
Later, Bai Ziche made repeated deployments. He knew that this battle was inevitable.
Even if he wanted to endure, bide his time, and keep a low profile, even if Bai Yaotian was willing, Bai Ziche would not agree.
In this case, it would be better to take the risk and strike first while Bai Ziche is on a diplomatic mission to Tianqing.
Coincidentally, Shang Chen wrote again to request cooperation.
He knew the geographical location of the Shang State, which meant it was destined to seek a way out and expand outward.
So he believed that Shang Chen's request for cooperation was sincere.
With his cooperation, the Shang army successfully occupied the quarrying city.
But he never expected that he would go east and capture the three cities of Yongde, Yuyin and Shang'an.
When Bai Ziche, who was driven back to Yangcheng, was stopped, he was ambushed by him and went around to his rear, occupying his base camp, Ruyang City.
He wrote a letter to the Shang army asking them to cooperate with him in attacking from both sides and destroying the Flame Army in Ruyang City.
In this way, even if he could not advance eastward, at least he could keep his fiefdom.
He also obtained the three cities of Yongde, Yuyin and Shang'an.
The King of Ruyang even promised that if the Shang army helped to recapture Ruyang City.
Then the Cai Shi City and the area westward to Shimen Pass would all be ceded to the Shang State.
He waited for so many days, was trapped for so long, and wrote so many letters to urge Shang Chen.
What they waited for was that the Shang army withdrew from Cai Shi City and retreated to the west of Shimen Pass!
Prince Ruyang gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "We haven't gained a single city, and we haven't gained any benefit at all.
So what is Shang Chen's purpose for this trip eastward? Could it be that he is trying to trick him?"
The question that King Ruyang couldn't figure out was answered after Bai Ziche broke through Yuyin City!
