As the Yellow Emperor, Huangdi, ascended to power, he set his eyes outwards. What is an Emperor without an Empire? No longer was the Tàipíng Dào just a band of rebel militias who fought against injustice? No, the Tàipíng Dào had evolved into a fully functioning state under the ruler ship of Huangdi. However, without recognition from peoples across Kaiguo, Huangdi was nothing but a man wearing a fancy hat. To rectify this, Huangdi sent a delegation of warriors (imagine they are in yellow, not red clothes) and his close adviser, Great Teacher Jiang Shu. The delegation was made up of over 150 warriors, 50 cavalry, almost a thousand servants, and of course, Jiang Shu. While they were all heavily armed, this was not a delegation of war, instead, this was just to show respect to the Qin leader. Jiang Shu was given full negotiation rights, able to make deals and hopefully, bring the Qin into the Empire.

On arriving to the Qin capital, Jiang Shu would respectfully give a short letter, in the Emperor's own handwriting, to whoever ruled over the western provinces.

To The Western Provinces,

As was prophesied 100 years ago, the Red Sky has ended and the Yellow Sky now beams through the clouds. I have ascended to the throne of the Empire, Kaiguo will soon fall under my heel as is predestined by the spirits and by my own ancestors.

I send this letter so that you may surrender to my delegation and bend the knee, showing subservience to the Yellow Empire. I will give you two chances to join the Empire and fall under my protection. If you reject my delegation now, he will ask a second time, if you reject again, we will take your obedience by force.

Do not make the same mistake the Kai did many years ago, join the Yellow Empire. Let the yellow sky bloom, fall to your knees and accept me as your Emperor.

Jiang Shu once he had given the letter, stood with his arms in his robes, waiting for a response.
