Why, after the large army of Chen Country had invaded Zhan Country for many days, did they not massacre the people in the first three cities but instead massacre everyone in the small Yuegu City?
Was Yuegu City the most resistant?
Not at all.
The most fierce resistance came from Beiyang City, followed by Ye City and Lingguan City. Half of Yuegu City's residents had already fled, so what were they going to resist with?
It was simply that Rong Yao's youngest son was shot dead on the battlefield. Rong Yao did it partly for revenge and partly to deter the military officers and civilians at the border pass. He leveled the entire Yuegu City to the ground.
"How do you know my elder brother will arrive in five days?" Gu Chengfeng didn't suspect Gu Jiao of bluffing, since everything she had said along the way eventually came true, "Are you secretly in contact with my brother and the imperial court behind my back?"
"How could I contact them?" Gu Jiao countered.
