Inside Wushan Pass.
After Lu Yuan led the troops into the city, he immediately ordered people to receive the captives in the city.
It is unknown whether the defenders of the pass intentionally surrendered or truly feared his reputation. This time, when they surrendered, they chose Lu Yuan among the more than 30,000 defenders of the Pass.
As a result, he was able to lead his troops into the city without Shangguan Ming's knowledge on the other side of the Pass.
Of course, Lu Yuan would not be polite about such a great opportunity.
There were more than 30,000 elite Zhou soldiers in the city, a powerful force. If you add in the 20,000 captives he had previously recruited outside Fu City in Yuzhong Prefecture.
Since the surprise attack, he had recruited a total of 50,000 elite soldiers, greatly enriching his own strength.
