After Su Que killed over eight hundred of the Thunderbolt Army, Li Tunshan wrote a letter to the Liang Court.
He detailed the situation in Jiannan Prefecture and requested the Ministry of War to send assistance.
However, the Emperor of Liang had been in seclusion for many years, and the Liang Court was rife with factional disputes.
Furthermore, Jiannan Prefecture was far away in the Southern Domain, and the court paid little attention to it.
As a result, there was no response from the court for quite a while.
During this period, Li Tunshan instructed his subordinates to send messages to the court at regular intervals.
After writing four consecutive letters, the court finally responded.
The court first dispatched martial monks from the Great Buddha Temple, specifically Monk Fa Jie, to assist Li Tunshan.
