Five days ago, Li Shang, who was in charge of all matters in the Western Regions, personally led all the warriors and soldiers of the Protectorate, a total of one hundred and forty-nine men, to circumvent the enemy's rear and annihilate the envoy group sent by the Western Rong, in order to prevent the Eshan Kingdom from being incited by the Rong barbarians and thereby invading Dayong.
Among these one hundred and forty-nine warriors, there were both old and young; the eldest was over sixty, while the youngest was only twelve or thirteen.
Besides their age, the members of the Protectorate, who seemed like a makeshift troupe, came from various backgrounds.
There were veteran soldiers from the An'nan Prefecture, merchants who stayed from the Capital City, exiled prisoners, and even barbarians originally from the Rong Race.
The reason why these seemingly unrelated individuals could band together was because of the veteran general Li Shang holding them together.
