The township uncle knew that this was about to start a war for reunification.

The entire Yancheng, with a population of 10 billion, was excited. There are those who are worried, those who are excited, and there are those who have any ideas.

Even on the overseas floating islands, some of the remnants of the former dynasties, who are already in a state of seclusion, are also excited at this moment.

Some are even ready to take revenge.

For example, in the several floating islands where the Yue Kingdom is located, there are several ministers who plan to join the army and eventually participate in the war with the Wu State.

However, this kind of general can't join the army of Yancheng today.

The army of Yancheng does not lack these ministers. Let them in, but it will pollute the otherwise clean army.

Who knows if these people can be trusted?

Who knows if these people will be full of revenge?

Who knows if they will disobey military orders for revenge and end up negatively impacting the war for unification?

Take 10,000 steps back, this time in the war of reunification, after this war, the whole world will be the people of Yancheng, and they will all be a family. Since it is a family, it is obviously not permissible to allow certain people to use the war of unification to retaliate against their enemies.

Times have changed, and the rules are naturally different.

It's just that many people are ill-informed and haven't realized it.

Chu State, Chu Duke and Wang Jujun sat opposite each other.

It's snowing today, the snow is not big or small, Chu Gong let the snowflakes fall on him, in fact, it is not cold at all, but Chu Gong's heart is very cold at the moment.

Duke Chu received a secret letter, and this secret letter came from Qu Yuan.

Qu Yuan is also a member of the Qu family, his father is Boyong, who also served as the envoy of Chu in Yancheng, and was fully responsible for all matters of Chu in Yancheng.

However, when it was more than 80 years old for the hundred families, Boyong inexplicably became the legendary mastermind behind the scenes because he carried the black pot for Lu Buwei and Fan Li. In the history books of various countries today, in the description of the peerless collapse of the Yancheng Exchange that year, it is said that Boyong was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Although the high-level knows that Boyong is wronged, the high-level is a minority after all, and no one will stand up to wash away Boyong's grievances.

Bo Yong earned 60 trillion for Chu State in one breath at that time, but his own head also had a reward of a full 1 trillion yuan.

Therefore, Boyong returned to the state of Chu and returned to the noble assembly to hold an important position.

Now, Boyong's son Qu Yuan has also grown up, and he has become a real person early and has become the new envoy of Chu.

This letter is Qu Yuan's recent observations and analysis.

Looking at the content of the letter, Chu Gong only felt cold in his heart.

"In Yancheng today, the people's hearts are available, and the people spontaneously take to the streets to propagate this war."

"The people of Yancheng don't think that this is an unjust war, they only feel that they are hanging the people for their crimes. They believed that the fastest way to end the troubled times was to launch the Great Unification War from Yancheng. They believe that this is the only way to be the greatest benevolent. ”

"Yancheng is expanding its army, and it is not hidden. Many young Taoist priests and feather priests even took the initiative to go to the local government to sign up and want to join the army, but there is no one in Yancheng at present, they are still very picky, and they still need to be assessed, and after a series of assessments, they can officially join the army. ”

"According to our estimates, the number of prefecture-level Dao soldiers in Yancheng has expanded to more than two million this time. But the recruitment of millions of Taoist priests in one breath does not seem to affect the prosperity of all parts of Yancheng, various industries still exist, and some industries are even more prosperous. ”

"There has been no significant decrease in the number of articles published in journals. People's lives are not much different from those of peacetime. ”

Seeing this, Duke Chu couldn't help but start thinking about the situation in Chu State.

In today's Chu State, the first batch of 100,000 Dao soldiers has already arrived at the front line, and these 100,000 troops are commanded by Xiang Yan. Xiang Yan is Xiang Ji's grandfather, but the commander-in-chief of this battle is Xiang Ji.

The second batch of 200,000 troops also reached the front, and these 200,000 troops were commanded by Zengzi.

The 80,000-strong army of the state of Wu was commanded by Sun Wu.

Zheng Guo's army of 60,000 was commanded by Le Yi.

The headquarters of the Xiang family has about 50,000 people.

At this moment, there are about 100,000 prefecture-level Taoist soldiers gathered near Yingdu.

Duke Chu is still continuing to recruit prefecture-level Taoist soldiers, and he is also working hard to train new Taoist priests and doctors, but this will take time.

The state of Chu has a profound heritage, and it is true that the land is vast and rich, but it takes a lot of time to train a scholar and warlock into a countryman and a Taoist. Those who are only a thin line away from a breakthrough have already broken through. For the rest, it's too early to break through. Even if you use the secret method of squeezing potential, you can't break through, so you can only wait.

Moreover, after so many Taoist priests were transferred in one go, the entire Chu State withered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if autumn was coming and everything began to wither, and the decay was too obvious.

"Prepare for a decisive battle, at least a battle, and try to sanctify it. If the nationality can be sanctified, then the Chu country will have a future. If the child cannot be sanctified, there will be no other accidents......"

Wang Jujun nodded seriously: "The ministers will mobilize domestic Taoist priests again, and this time, even various research institutions, as well as Taoist priests and doctors engaged in other industries, will also be transferred. ”

It's just that such a transfer, even if this battle is won, will bring a huge disaster to the Chu State!

Just like the Wei State, there are a total of 300,000 Taoist priests and doctors in the Wei State, of which 100,000 are in the Wei Wushu. The remaining 200,000 are engaged in various industries, and such a proportion is already very high among the nations, thanks to the strong control ability of Wei Si, Li Kui and others over Wei.

Previously, Wei conscripted 50,000 soldiers, and these 50,000 people were all drawn from the Wei Wushu reserve, and there were still 200,000 Taoist priests in the country, engaged in various industries, so Wei could still develop as usual, without affecting all aspects of Wei, and it still looked very prosperous.

But if these 200,000 Taoist priests engaged in various industries are transferred to 50,000 in one go, then the Wei State will decline visibly with the naked eye. If 100,000 are transferred in one go, then the Wei State will really go back ten years overnight. If 200,000 yuan is withdrawn in one go, and all of them are withdrawn, it will be no more days, and there will be no tomorrow, and such a decline is inevitable.

The current state of Chu is like this.

The state of Chu was originally vast and rich, with 200,000 quasi-prefecture-level Taoist soldiers.

But now, there are 450,000 troops, of which 350,000 are on the front line and 100,000 are in Yingdu.

Of the extra 250,000, 150,000 were temporarily broken through by using pills and secret methods from the reserves. But the remaining 100,000 are drawn from all walks of life, and the price is that the Chu State is obviously not prosperous.

This time, Wang Jujun plans to transfer another 150,000.

After the 150,000 is drawn, if you are not careful, all walks of life in the Chu State may go back thirty years!

Once defeated this time, it may take a hundred or even hundreds of years for the state of Chu to recover.

……

As soon as the Chu State began to further transfer manpower, the news spread to the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei.

The main thing is that the move is too big to hide at all.

The state of Chu followed up, and the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei could only grit their teeth and keep up.

As a result, South Korea continued to draw 50,000 troops, for a total of 150,000 troops. This time, South Korea has really reached its limit, and whether it wins or loses this battle, South Korea will go back 20 years.

Wei transferred 100,000 Taoist priests and doctors from all walks of life, and overnight, it went back ten years. A total of 250,000 troops, of which 200,000 are in South Korea.

Zhao State, like Wei State, left 50,000 in China and 200,000 in Korea.

As for the state of Chu, there were 100,000 troops left in the country, mainly at the junction of the land of Bashu and Jingzhou, to prevent the Qin state from leaving Sichuan.

The Three Kingdoms alliance army of 550,000 against the Chu, Wu, and Zheng coalition forces of 640,000.

The main force of both sides is close to 1.2 million.

And for this battle, the auxiliaries dispatched by both sides are also all Xuan-level Taoist soldiers.

In order to ensure logistics, the two countries opened one temporary canal after another, and built one iron rail car after another.

A Bigu Pill that can keep the doctor from being hungry for seven days requires hundreds of catties of spiritual rice, hundreds of catties of spiritual springs, at least ten catties of the meat of the big demon, and all kinds of spiritual grasses.

And such a Bigu Dan is divided into two types: long shelf life and short shelf life.

With a long shelf life, the practice method is more complicated, and only Taoist priests can master it, and the refining time is longer and the cost is higher.

If the shelf life is short, the practice method is relatively simple, and the warlock can master it, and the refining time is faster and the cost is lower. The cost of one of the former is as high as five or six of the latter.

And such a Bigu Dan, when it really comes to the time of the Great War, the ground-level Dao soldiers will take one and evolve their true body, and in just a few moments, they will be able to completely digest the various spiritual energy contained in the Bigu Dan. At that point, if you want to continue fighting, you will need more food.

At this moment, Han Xin told Jiang Hua and other high-level officials about this battle in front of the collected intelligence.

"Right now, both sides are in a tentative phase."

"For example, information came from today that the State of Chu had damaged more than a dozen rail cars, and a large number of materials such as Lingmi and Lingquan transported on them were destroyed in one fell swoop. But after destroying the grain, these people were discovered by the Chu army, and then they were beheaded on the spot, and their bodies were in different places, and their deaths were desolate. ”

"This battle is equivalent to the three Jin Dynasty coalition forces, with the loss of one prime minister, twelve Taoist priests, and shadows that may be exposed because of this, and the loss of Chu is more than ten rail cars and Lingmi and Lingquan on the rail cars."

"In today's Chu army, there is at least one Taoist priest sitting on every rail car. This is enough to ensure that even if the track is damaged, the rail car will not be directly destroyed. ”

"Even if the track is damaged, the Taoist priest in charge of logistics, after casting a spell, can quickly restore the track and ensure the normal transportation of logistics."

"For the Three Jin Alliance, this is fighting with the Chu State. At the same time, it is also testing the reality of Chu. ”

"For example, the quality, type, and quantity of spiritual rice transported in each rail car, these statistics can be seen together, and many problems can be seen."

"This is the war of the great powers, to this point, the strategy is useless, what you fight for is national strength!"
