From the sudden outburst of violence in Long Mountain a day before the alliance meeting, marking the official breakdown of the alliance, to the subsequent turbulent changes on Pingxi Plain, the series of events that took place actually only spanned three days.
Moreover, due to the sensitive point of the alliance's breakdown, many camps lacked formal communication channels, resulting in extreme information blockage. They dared not rashly send people to each other's camps to inquire about the situation, fearing to alert the enemy or cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
On such a premise, combined with the deployment of Long Mountain's large army on the snowfield between White Abyss and Wushuang on April 14th, Hou Tong's focus was almost entirely on Long Mountain for these three days, with no attention paid to the situation of Beehive, Wushuang, and Yang Lu in the south.
Prior to the alliance meeting, Zhaoyang had already stationed three thousand people at Hanqiong Camp.
