443 Chapter 436-Chu and Wei’s strange movements

Of course, the Chu people were aware of the internal affairs of the Yan Qi Alliance Army.

Naturally, they would not let go of such a good opportunity.

The vanguard Army of Chu State had already entered the border from the West of Wu State a long time ago. However, the Yan and Qi Allied forces were in a big position and the power they had mobilized was not enough. They did not dare to cause trouble for the time being. Even after taking over the Wu country’s royal family and the Imperial court, they were still very careful. They were even a little frightened, afraid that Wei Yun and LAN nuo Xing, the two Dharma plane experts, would come to kill them. They were even prepared to escape at any time.

However, the internal cleansing and internal strife of the Yan and Qi Alliance Army made them think of something.

Wei Yun and LAN nuo Xing would naturally not be too affected by this internal conflict. However, when an Army of cultivators fought, they didn’t just rely on high-level cultivators.

High-level cultivators were of course very important and played a decisive role. However, the low-level cultivators could always be dealt with by relying on the advantage of numbers and the power of the array.

Furthermore, it wasn’t like the Chu army didn’t have any Dharma awarenesses. Chu state’s Grand advisor Fei Bo had already arrived at the front line.

Following that, as time passed, more and more troops of Chu State had been assembled. At the same time, they could also use Wu Huang’s influence to find more allies within Wu country.

It was true that the main force of the Imperial court of Wu State had been scattered. However, this did not mean that they had lost all their combat potential. No matter what, it was one of the nine great celestial empires that had stood for thousands of years. No matter how miserable it was now, it definitely had some Foundation. No matter if it was a hostile area or a non-hostile area, the remaining power of the Wu State, the local forces, and some sects could all be borrowed.

The name of Wu Huang and the Imperial court of Wu State had a strong appeal to these people.

In addition, the Alliance Army of Yan and Qi was in a state of chaos, and most likely had no intention of fighting.

With all these factors combined, Fei Bo felt that he still had a chance of winning.

Moreover, it was not as if he had not dealt with Raynor before. That fellow was not his match at all.

When Wu State was at its peak, it was at the bottom of the nine states. The relationship between Chu State and Wu State was not good. There were many conflicts between the two states. And every time, the Wu country would always be the one at a disadvantage. The number of times Raynor Xingguang lost to him, the FEI channel, was already two.

Those two times, it was fortunate that LAN nuo Xing was able to escape quickly, and that the Wu country’s Army was behind him. Even so, if he had been more determined and willing to pay a higher price, he would have had at least a 70% chance of killing LAN nuo Xing on the spot.

As for Weiyun, even though Fei bin had never dealt with him before, he had fought Xia Cang before. Fei bin admitted that his strength was about the same as Xia Cang’s. As for Wei Yun, the last time he had fought Xia Cang, he had been completely suppressed.

In other words, according to Fei Bo’s estimation, even if the worst case scenario happened, where the Qi Army recovered their combat ability and the two armies faced each other openly and fairly, the Chu army might not be able to gain any advantage with the two Dharma adepts on the other side. But at least, under his leadership, there would not be too much of a problem for them to retreat in one piece.

After weighing their options, the Chu army made their move.

They were marching to the West of Wu country.

Their March was not rash. They advanced step by step and did not receive much resistance.

In the Western Region of the Wu country, the Yan Qi Alliance had not had the time to lay their hands on it. Here, the rule of the Wu State was still basically maintained—of course, this was the local Rule that had lost its central system and had fallen into chaos.

The troops of the Chu State who entered these places under the banner of Wu Huang and the name of Wu state’s allies naturally didn’t encounter any resistance. They smoothly took over these places.

The Chu State immediately started to manage these territories that had been taken over.

It was management, not governance.

Their management was very tough and directly supported the local spokespersons with strong military pressure. Through this, they gathered local human and material resources. On the one hand, it could provide better supplies to the Army. On the other hand, it could also directly form a servant army.

Of course, the entire Army was made up of the local Wu people. Although they were known as the royal guards, in reality, they were just a troop of soldiers that the Chu people had gathered to serve as cannon fodder.

The average strength of the cultivators in the so-called ‘National Guard’ was very worrying. Moreover, whether it was the level of their equipment or their level of tacit understanding, they were equally poor.

The only thing that could be mentioned was his will to fight, which was actually very worrying.

Of course, there were some impassioned Warriors who were resentful because of the fall of their country. They decided to join the army and fight with the Chu people to drive out the Qi and Yan people.

But in fact, most of them knew that the Chu people who stood with them also had bad intentions. He had been dragged out by the Chu people to be cannon fodder.

They had already been used as cannon fodder, so how strong was their will to fight, and how high was their morale?

However, no matter what, this ‘National Guard’ that had been organized was, at least in terms of quantity, very large.

As for the Chu country in the West, with every step they took, the number of the so-called ‘National Guard’ would increase by a little.

In the blink of an eye, when they entered the Jiang Prefecture border where jiandu city was located, they had brought along the National Defense Army and the main Chu army. Their number was close to 200000.

That was a huge number.

And they, Chen Bing, did not go any further because they were waiting for greater pressure.

The Wei people also made their moves.

For many years, the Wei Kingdom had been under pressure from both the North and the East. It had once been the most powerful celestial kingdom in the East of the cultivation world. After the last demonic rebellion, it had been in a state of decline until now. After that war, it had even ceded a large piece of territory to the Wei Kingdom.

But that didn’t mean that they were willing to do so.

The Wei Kingdom was powerful. At the same time, they had two Dharma plane experts. One of them was the general Xia Cang, who was once invincible in the eastern world.

Of course, all of this had been rewritten after Lu Qing’s appearance.

However, with this opportunity, the people of Wei were not willing to be left out.

They were the force that was most unwilling to see the Wu Kingdom fall into the hands of the Lu clan. If that was the case, they would have been completely surrounded from the North to the East and then the South.

Therefore, taking advantage of the Chu state’s attack, the Wei people also organized a group of 20000 to 30000 soldiers, which included many elite soldiers, and quickly went south.

The leader was Marquis Xuanwu, Zheng Yu!
