Two days later, Qin Siyao left Yanmen Pass. Though she was deeply reluctant to go, she had come out without the Qin Kingdom's Lord's permission in the first place. If she stayed away any longer, he would likely fly into a thunderous rage.
Besides, Qin Siyao felt that it really was not appropriate for a woman like her to remain in an army camp.
So, after weighing her options again and again, Qin Siyao could only obediently leave with Peanut.
After Qin Siyao left, the Northern Wilderness Army's departure drew ever closer.
The troops had rested and reorganized, and their provisions had all been replenished.
Not only that, the Northern Wilderness Army had also absorbed quite a few surrendered soldiers.
These surrendered soldiers were split up and assigned to different units.
They were dispersed because, so long as the army did not collapse, these surrendered soldiers would follow Qin Kingdom's seasoned veterans into battle.
But if they were kept together, there was no telling what might happen. They would inevitably begin harboring other intentions.
Eight days later, the Northern Wilderness Army advanced on Yuetong Pass.
In Xiao Shi's eyes, Xiahou Nan was the only enemy general Qin Kingdom truly needed to fear.
But Xiahou Nan was probably still taking a roundabout route toward Wei Kingdom's Imperial Capital.
Thus, the general at Yuetong Pass was hardly worth mentioning before the Northern Wilderness Army, especially now that its soldiers were well fed, well rested, and riding high on morale after conquering the southern territory.
The general at Yuetong Pass also knew exactly how much he was worth.
When the Northern Wilderness Army invaded, he simply shut the gates and refused to come out, holding fast within the city.
Unfortunately, the Northern Wilderness Army breached Yuetong Pass in less than half a month.
