Returning to Hulao Pass, it was already deep into the night.
This battle had raged from dawn till the sun sank low, yet it was not the end, because dealing with the surrender of a hundred thousand soldiers posed an even greater challenge than defeating them.
Fortunately, Yu Wenye brought back Xiao Yuansui from Niu Kouchu, and with him, many who had been hesitant lost their will to resist.

This was a triumph that would forever be inscribed in the annals of history, an unprecedented victory!
But for Hulao Pass, guarded by only a few thousand troops, accommodating this multitude became the biggest problem.
Shang Ruyi entered the garrison; the surroundings were engulfed in darkness except for one room where a lamp was lit, cleaned by Wo Xue for her to rest.
