After making all preparations, Jiang Ziya led the elite troops, with flags fluttering and marched grandly towards Chaoge.
Passing Mianchi County, they reached Mengjin, which was the meeting place where the feudal lords had agreed to rise in arms.
At Mengjin, Jiang Ziya set up a high platform and, from a vantage point, overlooked the gathering armies of the feudal lords, their banners rippling in the wind, full of high morale.
However, among the four major feudal lords, only the Western Marquis and the Northern Marquis personally led their troops to the scene, while the Eastern Marquis Jiang Huanchu and the Southern Marquis E Shun failed to break through the Great Shang's defenses and arrive at Mengjin before the agreed time.
This sight filled Jiang Ziya's heart with some disappointment and also some delight.
In this way, it also saved a lot of trouble.
