The next day, Zhao Guang and his party stopped at the entrance of a canyon.
According to last night's discussion, the most likely place for the ambush was right here because once they entered the canyon, there would only be one path, making it impossible to retreat in any other direction.
What Zhao Guang hadn't expected was for the enemy to actually block off the canyon outright.
To detour around the side would require at least a dozen days, and would involve entering another's domain.
Such a large troop passing through another's domain would necessitate prior communication. All in all, it would take two to three months for Zhao Guang to reach his own lands, so he must pass through the middle.
Zhao Guang took up his telescope and gazed at the people on top of the canyon.
