Five years have passed, but walking through the sun-drenched town of Broken Gold still sends chills down your spine.
Song Liyun calmly surveyed the situation in the town.
The town is actually not very big. Apart from the neat and orderly buildings in the center, the edges are mostly wooden houses and mud walls haphazardly built by sand workers.
For five years, no one took care of the wooden house, which had been through a bloody incident, and it was in a state of disarray.
The wild grass growing among the ruins was knee-high, and now its leaves were withered and yellow, rustling in the wind, looking particularly eerie.
In broad daylight, a stray dog would occasionally dart out from between the houses, baring its sharp teeth at the group of strangers who had suddenly barged in.
The tragedy of Broken Gold Town was brought about by gamblers and bandits, but ultimately it was the incursion of the Di barbarians.
The bandits and gamblers wanted money, while the barbarians wanted slaves. Capturing thousands of strong laborers at once was a huge fortune.
The Zhenbei Army was not wronged in being punished for its mistakes.
This is indeed a weak point in the entire Yunzhou defense line.
Yunzhou is mountainous, and the garrison mainly guards various mountain passes and crossroads, only briefly traversing the natural rivers flowing into the grasslands.
In particular, the Huangsha River, which is only a hundred miles from the border, was not even within the search range of the border outposts.
Led by bandits, the Di people chose the dry season and easily entered the Wu Dynasty by following the complex waterways through which the Huangsha River flowed.
It was this seemingly insignificant, ordinary river that caused the Zhenbei Army to lose face.
The Zhenbei Army is now building a garrison at the mountain pass outside Suijin Town, stationing a hundred men.
With the river route in place, the Zhenbei Army could also enter the grasslands along the Huangsha River.
This ordinary river, which was originally flowing with golden sand, has become a sheathed steel knife, ready to plunge straight into the heart of the other side of the Dilu grassland once unsheathed.
The infamous town of Suijin suddenly became an important military stronghold.
Of course, this information was not something ordinary people like Song Liyun could know; they only knew that people were needed to repair houses and build camps.
