It has always been the Hu people conducting surprise raids on the Hu-Liang border, yet when the new Great Liang Emperor took the throne, a Linzhou King who doesn't know the limits arrived at the border and repeatedly captured their herdsmen as free labor.
They had just offered a 'national treasure' to the new Emperor, agreeing that there would be no conflicts between the two countries for three years, living in peace.
Well, this is great, how long has it been, this new Linzhou King openly obeyed in public but defied in private, bullying and enslaving their Hu citizens in various ways.
A soldier can be killed but not humiliated, even though the Monarch of Hu Kingdom tried to endure it, his youngest son, Tingmao, who was young and impetuous, could not bear it and threatened his father with his life, saying he would commit suicide if they did not go to war.
