No Zhao Ling, No Peace For This World [I]

Fifty miles north of Zhengyang Pass, Jingzhou and Yecheng.

Zhengyang Pass was the last barrier for Dasheng to fight against Beidi and other neighboring countries in the northwest, and Jingzhou was an important city that could be used to defend Zhengyang Pass. 

Therefore, although Jingzhou was located in a barren land in the northwest, it was a battle location for military strategists. Here, the war had been raging, and the smoke of gunpowder was permeating. Because of this, for a hundred years, this place has basically been garrisoned by the Meng family army, the strongest fighting force of the Dasheng Dynasty.

Meng Yuan chose Jingzhou as the gathering place for the three hundred thousand Meng family troops for this reason.
