Chapter 740: Hearing of Hundred-Fragrance Noodles Again
Zhongzhi City.
This city stood upon the former dividing line between West Xiao and Great Xiang. It had once been a highly contested military stronghold, eventually falling to Great Xiang in the tenth year of the Xinglong era.
After the Grand Ancestor of Xiang unified the realm, the region gradually found peace. Yet, because so many troops had been stationed here in the past, the military camps remained. This place housed what used to be Great Xiang's largest military garrison near the southwest—the Nanwei Camp.
Later, when the King of Wei raised his army here, the Nanwei Camp, which fell under the direct jurisdiction of the Imperial Court, should have fought back. Instead, they were swayed by a letter written in the King of Wei's own hand. Without a single soldier lost, the Nanwei Camp surrendered to his banner.
Because of this, the King of Wei secured his foothold and avoided fighting a war on two fronts. It was no exaggeration to say the Nanwei Camp saved him at a critical moment.
Today, the generals of the Nanwei Camp served as deputy commanders within the Wei Army, holding positions of immense prestige.
That commanding general now guarded Zhongzhi City, securing the western pass for the King of Wei to keep the Kang Army at bay.
The city bustled with life. As the second-largest city within the King of Wei's territory, it boasted a massive population and was widely considered by the common people to be the safest place in the realm.
Trade routes flowed smoothly here, with an endless stream of carriages and wagons passing through.
