In the first year of the Zhou Dynasty's Xiande era, Liu Chong of the Northern Han allied with Khitan cavalry and launched a massive invasion against Zhou. Emperor Shizong of Zhou declared, "Chong seeks to exploit our nation's mourning, thinking me but a newly-enthroned young emperor. His ambition to seize our land is near—he will surely come in person, and thus I must confront him."
He donned armor and faced the enemy at the battlefront, disregarding arrows and stones. Witnessing their emperor's valor,
Zhou's armies fought with unrelenting courage and achieved a decisive victory.
