Xingcai's Ploy

Xingcai and Guan Ping had managed to receive word about the prolonged attacks between Shu and Wu and eventually found out that Sun Shang Xiang and Lian Shi were captured by Ti Xu and Ti Xiao and their lives were threatened. Xingcai and Guan Ping managed to work out the idea when Ti Xiao had invaded Yong An. Xingcai would offer them a deal of peace. In exchange, she would marry Ti Xiao for the time being.

When Ti Xiao was killed in Xong Xi, Xingcai was the heir of all of Ti Xiao's land. Under agreement, Shu would have received most of the land in Ti Xiao's Forces and Wu would receive the rest. The two allied nations could've had a great strong point to attack the Wei Army and divide the kingdom in two.

However, only a week after the battle as Rang Zhao and Dan Liang Yue tried to prevent the remains of Ti Xiao's land from falling, Xingcai's son, Ti Yong, had discovered her ploy and usurped her in a Coup'e'dtat.
