Chapter 460: Chapter 233: Let's Run Away

Xichuan County, Jiange Prefecture, Jianmenguan Pass.

Lu Yuan led his troops into the northern gate of Xichuan County and entered the city. He ordered some men to clear out the remaining enemies in the city while he himself went to the south-facing watchtower.

Standing at the lofty pass, he gazed southwards, taking in the sight of towering mountains and ridges, with only a few winding paths carved out by ancestors for people to traverse the mountainous terrain.

Xichuan County was indeed a blessed land.

Not only was the land fertile, with good irrigation systems supporting millions of lives, it was surrounded by mountains and ridges, providing protection from external intrusions.

If Lu Yuan hadn't taken advantage of the weak defenses of Xichuan County this time, Jianmenguan Pass would have only had slightly over a thousand defenders, making it impossible for the city to be conquered with one drumbeat.
