In the western regions of Great Shang, there are numerous dangerous mountains and treacherous waters, making the terrain strategically significant.
Between mountains and rivers, Great Shang established multiple military strongholds as barriers against the barbarians.
Azure Dragon Pass is located among the vast mountains in the western part of Great Shang. It is also one of the main passes leading to Chaoge City, the capital of Great Shang Country.
The General in charge of this pass is named Zhang Guifang, who recently took office.
This new young general, since recently arriving at Azure Dragon Pass to assume the post of General, made it a point to lead his soldiers out of the city every day.
Typically, they would leave in the morning and return in the evening.
Moreover, upon returning, they frequently escorted numerous prisoners.
Initially, everyone thought he was going out to suppress bandits, and greatly praised him.
