As the Si Family Army’s reputation spread, the Baiyue people grew increasingly terrified. Fearing that the Si Family Army might actually march all the way to the Capital, the King of Baiyue immediately dispatched a great general to Yizhou to reinforce his troops.
The territory of Da Wu was rich in water and lush with vegetation, and the King was unwilling to lose the lands he had fought so hard to seize.
Si Jiuyue led Niu Gao and Gao Chong, along with twenty thousand troops, as they marched toward Yizhou. Along the way, they incorporated any displaced Da Wu civilians they encountered; those with martial arts skills joined the Si Family Army to fight, while those without were sent to the Supply Camp to handle logistics, raise horses, and prepare provisions.
