Just as Chen Mo was contemplating how to handle the affairs in Fengzhou, something happened again in Longyou.
In mid-June, one of the Seven Western Rong Countries, the Bolu Kingdom, launched an eastern invasion on Longyou. This invasion was not a minor skirmish like before but a full-scale plunder.
The Bolu Kingdom's Grand General Nuoduoer personally led an army of twenty thousand, dividing his forces into two.
Previously, Nuoduoer had ordered a large number of his subordinates to disguise as merchants and enter the border city of Longyou to facilitate coordination from within. After surrounding the border city of Longyou, they attacked the city while trying to persuade its surrender.
The city fell, and the defending commander Yue Yong led a thousand defenders to surrender. Nuoduoer returned triumphantly.
