From Battle of Shi ting, one can see, why it is a very important place.
But because of Sun Ce’s order to let them pass, Lu Bu's army passed Shi ting without any problems. Lu Bu's army did not fear battle, but they did not want to fight an unnecessary battle.
As Lu Bu’s army was passing through Shi ting, the complexion of the stationed soldiers was very grim. Although Sun Ce had ordered them to let Lu Bu’s army pass, they were all still very anxious and were in full alert. Until Lu Bu’s army has fully crossed Shi ting can they breathe in relief.
“All army, rapid advance. In front of us is Wancheng city, they have prepared hot food and good tent for us!” Sun Ce’s army sent out guide to tell Lu Bu that they have prepared everything in Wancheng city, therefore Lu Bu just simply ordered his army to rapidly advance to rest in Wancheng city.
If Sun Ce really kept his promise to entertain Lu Bu army then it is good, but if he dares cheat him, then Wancheng city will know the fear of the Bing Province Heavy Cavalry!
Wancheng city, when at the time of spring and autumn period, is located at Qianshan County and is Anhui region capital. During Han Dynasty, Wancheng city was no longer the capital of Anhui region and instead its location became Lujiang Prefecture capital, its affiliation changed from Anhui to Lujiang, but Wancheng city is still a capital. This decision came from Lujiang’s Prefect called Lu Kang who wanted to distance the city from the chaos of war, se he moved Lujiang Prefecture’s governance body to Wancheng city.
Hearing the name Lu Kang perhaps a lot of people did not recognize him, but Lu Xun will definitely know, because Lu Xun is Lu Kang’s second cousin grandson. Lu Xun had been studying Lu Kang’s books for many years and become adept because those books.
Afterward when Yuan Shu had interest in Lujiang, he sent Sun Ce to attack Lu Kang. When the city fell, Lu Kang died of illness. At that moment the Lu clan was thought to have perished until Lu Xun’s emergence. The big loss of Lu clan by Sun Ce can only be restored if Lu Xun can become Wu’s Grand Commander.
After Sun Ce took over Wancheng city, he presented it to Yuan Shu as a tribute to him. Then Yuan Shu asked one of his subordinate to become Lujiang's Prefecture. After Yuan Shu lost, Liu Xun then occupied Lujiang, who later lost Sun Ce. After losing, Liu Xun and his family went Old Cao and sought protection. So now, Wancheng city is Sun Ce's to govern.
