After the death of Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin donned the yellow robe at Chenqiao, claiming the mandate of the realm. Li Jun refused to acknowledge the new sovereign and raised his banners, marching south. Murong Yanzhao and Shi Shouxin set out from two fronts to flank Li Yun.

Just like everything they once shared.
