Chapter Thirty-Four 684
The city of Jiujiang, formerly known as Chaisang, is situated at the mouth of Poyang Lake and serves as a strategic location along the Yangtze River, as well as the gateway to the entire province of Jiangxi.
In the past, Chen Liang, the Prince Han, garrisoned hundreds of thousands of troops here, causing Emperor Tai of Jin to be restless day and night.
Therefore, after the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, the Court paid extra attention to this place and invested a large sum of money in fortifying its city walls, making its defenses nearly as formidable as Nanchang's, thus becoming one of the most formidable cities along the Yangtze River.
However, at this time, Jiujiang City was peaceful, with only a dozen blood-drenched heads hanging from the city walls, indicating a battle had recently taken place here.
The army of Prince Ning had taken Jiujiang City almost without a fight.
