?Iron Oxcontains chapters 63-90 of the original and can be divided into four main sections. The first of these is very much concerned with the question of the leadership on Mount Liang. Iron Ox is prominent in the second section, probably the most varied and entertaining part of this volume. The third section is concerned with the countβs various attempts to subdue Mount Liang by force or win them over with an amnesty. The fourth section begins with the granting of the amnesty and the first campaign in the Emperorβs service against the Liao Tartars. This part ends with an encounter which foreshadows the campaign against Tian Hu in Volume 5,The Scattered Flock.
