It was a valiant stand. It was an ignorant stand. It was a stand for freedom, an attempt of escape away from the machinations of ambitious men's wars. It was a stand that doomed thousands to their death or a slow and inevitable death underneath a boiling sun. Less than ten thousand men gathered along the walls and streets of the city of Xiangguo while over thirty thousand gathered before them. All who stood upon that day knew the cruel fate which awaited them, yet, the defenders of Xiangguo knew with a grim certainty that the day would be their least.

And it truly was. By day's end, the Jibei Field Army had claimed the city of Xiangguo and over ten thousand men lay dead or dying.

[Chou Yu]

Slowly striding across the land atop Glory, Yu looked at the bloody battlefield with a curious look. Already, his troops are gathering up the dead, thousands from each sides. Reflecting upon his thoughts, Yang Yu observed that battles could be easy or it could be hard, it could take days or it could take months, it could be for a just cause or selfish ambition. However, the one aspect of battle never fails. They were always bloody.

Averting his gaze he slowed his horse to a stop. Across him sat a good part of two thousand soldiers that they held captive and their three leaders. Looking down at them from his mount he extended his hand wordlessly to his side in which one of his officers put a scroll in it. Quietly unrolling the scroll he read the words written on it in a clear, booming voice:

Men of Xiangguo,

We understand the reason that led to your government seeking independence from Zhao control. We even go so far as to commend the valiant efforts of those who took a stand against an indifferent and uncaring administration. However, and this must be made clear, this battle was decided the moment your independence was declared. For in this age of chaos and rampant warfare running throughout the whole of the Middle Kingdom, to allow your newly created government its existence would be foolhardy. And if it were not Our armies, then it would have been the armies of Zhao once again fielded against you, or perhaps even those of Wei.

We shall not apologize for our actions. We know many of your brethren lay dead or wounded. We only hope to give solace in informing you all that the city of Xiangguo shall not be wasted any longer, that the city shall be reorganized and that its newly placed administration shall ensure the well-being of its people, its economy, and its pastures. We offer each of you a place in this administration.

King of Jiaodong

Done, he rolled back the scroll and handed it to his officer. Then, facing his captives he said,"You have heard the words of my King, now hear mine." He started, "Today, you stood in defeat. Tomorrow, you could be on the side of victory. If it's the state of your land that you fear, you only need to look at the province of Jibei and Jiaodong. The land under our rule is prosperous and stable, its people happy." Yu explained, "We are not like those from Zhao, with their previous leader missing and their officials so inept that they needed leadership from one outside of their administration, one that we have beaten before. We do not leave those our domain unattended, nor will our King ever abandon you."

Sweeping his arm through the air he said, "Join us in glory and in prosperity, not just for Xiangguo, not merely in Changshan, but throughout the whole land!" Yu finished passionately.

Recruit all captive soldiers!
Put 1000 (10) from the captive soldiers to the Xiangguo Garrison!
Merge the rest of the captives with the Melee and Support Layer resulting in 30697(65) troops!
Create a new army from the 30697(65) Troops named Changshan Field Army!
Attempt to recruit captured officers!

[Phailak]

Two officers join glad to follow the King, Jian Zun refuses!

Changshan field army created. Garrison and city assigned.

KT invasion assignments done.
