Shangyong City.
It is a small military fortress on the border of the Jin Kingdom and the closest city to the Wu Dynasty. After the Wu Dynasty launched a campaign against the Jin Kingdom, their army quickly advanced towards Shangyong City, where Gu Zhan personally led the siege. Within half a day, they successfully breached Shangyong City, and the army entered and stationed there.
By nightfall, in the military camp of Shangyong City,
the high-ranking officers of the Wu Dynasty military were discussing military strategies. Gu Zhan personally attended and made some strategic decisions, then left the meeting and headed towards the area where the Jin Kingdom's Empress, Zhan Qingli, was stationed in the city.
Because this campaign of the Wu Dynasty against the Jin Kingdom was under the pretense of an invitation from Empress Zhan Qingli to quell traitors, Empress Zhan Qingli accompanied the army, although she was residing in Gu Zhan's palace.
