The Zhou attack on the Qi in 563 went in on two fronts. Daxi Wu had the southern one, and his objective was the frontier city of Pingyang. The purpose of the second front was to make the Qi divide their forces while Mukan and Yang Zhong came down on Jinyang in the north.[1]
The Qi did divide, and both halves held. Hulü Guang stopped Daxi Wu in 563. He beat him in the spring of 564, when the allied army was forced back from Jinyang.[1] The year after, Daxi Wu led a third offensive, this time without the Göktürks. The Qi army beat it quickly.[1]
The Göktürk chapter of the Zhou Shu names only the northern column of the campaign.[2]
