Cutting Off Ties

The Green Mountain Army, the Shi family, the Old Snake Gang, and other forces worked together from the inside and broke into Great Cloud City.

Two first-class martial artists from the Imperial Army had died in battle, while the rest had fled in defeat.

Ten days later, the Green Mountain Army beheaded the captured generals and officials of the country of Yan. They announced to the world that the Green Mountain Army had been ordered by the people to punish the useless emperor. 

From then on, the Green Mountain Army occupied the five prefectures in the north, while the imperial court of the country of Yan defended the seven prefectures in the south. The two sides used the Yanming River that crossed the country of Yan as a boundary. Thus, they were temporarily under the rule of the river.
