Yangzhou City

Yangzhou City (陽周城) was a city situated between two sections of the Qin Great Wall in Shang Commandery during the Qin dynasty. At the time, it boasted a thriving market that was officially designated by the government to act as the conduit of free trade with the Xiongnu.

In 215 BCE, Chu Huan and another one of Wei Yu's disciples sneaked into Yangzhou Palace and stole a chest according to intel provided by their informant Nie Jing that it contained a treasure stolen by corrupt officials from the people.Assassin's Creed: Jade – Youxia in the Palace Nie Jing, secretly an agent for a shadowy faction within the Qin court,Assassin's Creed: Jade – Battle at the Wall then reported the theft to the Qin general Yang Duanhe, inciting him to retaliate against their home village Jade Spring nearby and all but destroying it. Among the casualties was Chu Huan.Assassin's Creed: Jade – A Difficult Reunion Some of the residents, such as Fan Zeng and the chef Jiu Wei, survived because they were working in Yangzhou at the time while others fled there for refuge in the aftermath.Assassin's Creed: Jade – The Longest Day
Insistent on eradicating them all, Nie Jing tricked Yu Ying and the disciple who stole the treasure into gathering these survivors together at the rear city gate to plan their next steps. As soon as they met together, they were set upon by Duanhe's troops. Yu Ying's friend arrived too late to save them because they were away investigating General Meng Tian's role in their village's attack. Although Yu Ying and her friend slew all the ambushers, they became the only remaining survivors of Jade Spring.Assassin's Creed: Jade – The Survivors of Yangzhou
