On December 28, the 18th year of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hengjia personally led Shi Qiwen, Fan Youxian, and Yan Zungao, leading 70,000 troops, known as an army of 200,000, to attack Sicheng Prefecture in a mighty manner.
The Jing army was so powerful that it fought its first battle in Tianzhou, the gateway to Sicheng Prefecture.
The defender of Tianzhou was Cen Zhaokui, the second son of Cen Leihan, the leader of Sicheng. Cen Zhaokui relied on his bravery and led 5,000 troops to fight Fan Youxian, the vanguard of the Jing army, in Tiandong. He was killed by Fan Youxian and was severely defeated. He fled back to Tianzhou City in embarrassment.<

After Cen Zhaokui fled back to Tianzhou, he did not dare to fight. He urgently transferred Di Meng, the defender of the state, to return to defend Tianzhou and tightly closed the city gate to defend.
Zhu Hengjia then captured Fengyi Prefecture without any effort and surrounded Tianzhou City.
"General Wei, you are leading the troops to attack the city, leaving the archers to plunder the formation for you." Zhu Hengjia ordered Wei Wanan's general.
In addition to the 60,000 troops from his headquarters, this expedition also included 10,000 auxiliary troops from Qingyuan Webster's army. Zhu Hengjia was reluctant to let his headquarters attack the city, so he asked Qingyuan Webster's general Wei Wanan to attack the city.
Ever since Zhu Hengjia awarded Qingyuan Webster's farmland from Mo's family in Xincheng, Qingyuan Webster was grateful to Zhu Hengjia, and Wei Wanan happily accepted the order.
The siege battle lasted for two days, and Tianzhou City was defeated. Di Meng, a partial general of Cen's army, was killed in the battle. Cen Zhaokui fled back to Sicheng Prefecture in embarrassment.

Zhu Hengjia ordered Wei Wan'an's troops to disguise themselves as the main force and march toward Sicheng with great fanfare, but he personally led the main force to stay in Tianzhou.
At the Jingjun camp in Tianzhou, Zhu Hengjia asked Hu Zhigong: "Last time, my husband advised me to pretend to attack Sicheng and then set up an ambush to ambush Cen Leihan. Where do you think it would be best to set up an ambush?"
Hu Zhigong smiled slightly and put a little bit on the sand table (for the convenience of combat, Zhu Hengjia had people make a military sand table out of white rice and clay): "In my opinion, this is the best place to set up an ambush."
"Dare to build a mountain?"
"Exactly."
"Please see, Supervisor, the terrain of this mountain is steep. What's even better is that there are dozens of large and small caves on the mountain such as Mu Niang Rock, Chuantian Cave, Shijiu Cave, etc., which are very conducive to hiding soldiers."
"Alas! It's a good place here, but Cen Leihan has experienced hundreds of battles and is very familiar with the local terrain. I'm afraid he won't go to Ganzhuang Mountain, but will go along the Nanpan River waterway and detour to Shanglinsi to return to Sicheng.
", Zhu Hengjia was afraid that Cen Leihan would not come.
"I believe that Cen Leihan must go to Ganzhuang Mountain. There are two reasons: first, taking the Nanpanjiang waterway and detouring to Shanglinsi is a long way, and it will take half a month to return to Sicheng; walking to Ganzhuang Mountain is close, and he can return to Sicheng in three days. Cen Leihan
Worried about the safety of his nest, he must leave the distance for the near. Secondly, Cen Leihan has always believed in ghosts and gods. Ganzhuang Mountain is a sacred mountain for children, and Cen Leihan will definitely think that walking on this mountain can get the blessings of his ancestors." Hu Zhigong knew it.

Ganzhuang Mountain is the sacred mountain of Tongren. A long time ago, God Buluotuo and God Mulaka, the founders of Tongren, lived here.
In children's language, "Bu" means a very prestigious old man; "Luo" means knowing; "Tuo" means creation. "Buluo Tuo" means an old man who knows a lot and is good at creating.
According to legend, God Buluotuo is the leader of the Bird Tribe, the most powerful tribe among the children, and the creator god who created everything in the world for the children.
The male god Buluotuo and the goddess Mulaka protect the descendants of the Tong clan from thriving in the eight wildernesses of Kyushu.

In Siming Prefecture, Cen Leihan's central army tent, Cen Leihan summoned the generals to discuss matters.
"I just received the military report that Jing's army captured Sien and captured Tianzhou. Now the army is heading to Sicheng. You should pack up immediately and follow me back to Sicheng to aid," Cen Leihan ordered.
"Uncle, I think we can avoid the interception of Jing's army by getting on the boat from Zhen'an Mansion, along the Nanpan River waterway, to Shanglinsi, and then back to Sicheng from Shanglinsi. This is a perfect strategy." Cen Zhaozhen offered advice.
"There are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Sicheng now. It takes more than ten days to get to Sicheng from Shanglin. What if we lose Sicheng? It is better to go closer to Ganzhuang Mountain." Cen Zhaowu objected.
"Ganzhuang Mountain is steep and steep. What should we do if the Jing army sets up an ambush?"
"The scouts came to report that the main force of Jing's army has gone to Sicheng. Where did the ambush come from? Moreover, Jing's army are all outsiders. How could they think of ambush in Ganzhuang Mountain?"
"Okay, please be quiet." Cen Leihan stopped the quarrel majestically.
Looking at the generals, Cen Leihan made up his mind: "Sicheng is the foundation of our Cen family in Sicheng. Without Sicheng, what can we call the Cen family in Sicheng? Now Sicheng is in danger, even if we dare to build a mountain like a dragon pool and a tiger's den, we will I have to try my best. Are you willing to follow me in a bloody battle and fight my way back to Sicheng?"
"I am willing to fight to the bitter end with the great leader!" All the generals responded in unison.
Cen Lei Han stayed in Taiping and Huang's army continued to besiege Siming's Jing army Li Mingzhong's troops. He led the Sicheng army from the direction of Ganzhuang Mountain to rescue Sicheng.
Before setting off, Cen Leihan prayed silently in his heart: Lord Buluotuo! Please bless your descendants and return to Sicheng smoothly.
