[indent][h3][sub][sub][color=00FF7F][i]The Story So Far[/i][/color][/sub][/sub][/h3][/indent][hr][indent][indent] The Emperor has died, The kingdom has shattered, and war has consumed the land. 
 
In the northeastern province of Guijiang the terrible effects of this war has come crashing down atop of their heads. A small and inconsequential strip of land situated within the Guijiang Valley where its name is derived. Yet now with conflict brewing between General Zhen Ba and General Fan Yi, the valley ability to move troops more easily through the surrounding mountains has made it into a contested war zone between Zhen and Fan.  
 
The troops and supply caravans moving into the valley has put both sides into conflict with the local bandits who dwell within a series cave  hidden within the surrounding woods. The bandits seeing opportunity with the Zhen and the Fan being preoccupied with one another would strike out against their lines taken food, supplies and the like at their leisure, the raiding parties always coming at night and slipping back into the woods before any real response could of been thrown against them. These attacks have inadvertently gained the support of the mostly agrarian populace of the province. As they saw anyone who was attacking and harassing the soldiers that were raping their women, burning down their homes, and generally causing a ruckus while not doing anything useful like DEFENDING them from MONSTERS the bandits were almsot preferable.
 
Shortly thereafter there was a small influx of the local populace into the woods to join up with the bandits for protection. (Most staying in the confines of their homes either too stubborn to leave or willing to risk it with the soldiers, only the desperate and the vengeful willing to even consider it.)   At first the bandits were taken aback but as they began to be treated as heroes and the populace they offered shelter to began rewarding them for their service it turns out the bandits liked being rebels instead. And so now this cluster of deserters, brigands, and peasants  must somehow repel these invaders.
 
They know it is only a matter of time before the Zhen or Fan secure the province and when that happens a much stronger force will be able to be sent into the woods and crush the rebels once and for all. And so using the smoke and carnage of the ongoing conflict as their only advantage they move to strike first aiming to take over the small Fan controlled town of Daluzhuang for if they can do that and show their ability to actually defeat the armies they may be able to gain support of the local elders and with the support of the elders comes the province.
