Chapter 436: Chu Wei moved
Of course, the Chu people were also aware of what was happening within the Yanqi coalition army.
Such a good opportunity, they naturally can't let it go easily.
The vanguard army of the Chu State had already entered from the western part of the Wu State very early, but the Yanqi coalition army was strong for a while, and the strength mobilized in their own country was not too abundant, so they did not dare to come up and cause trouble for a while. Even if they received the royal family and the imperial court of the Wu Kingdom, they were all cautious, and even a little frightened, for fear that Wei Yun and Lan Nuoxing, two masters of the law, would directly kill them in the face, and they were even ready to run away at any time.
But then, the purge and civil strife that broke out within the Yanqi coalition army made them think about it.
Wei Yun and Lan Nuoxing, of course, will not be affected much in this civil strife. However, the army of monks did not rely only on high-ranking monks.
Of course, the high-level monks are very important and play a decisive role, but the low-level monks, relying on the superiority in numbers and the strength of the formation, can always deal with one or two.
What's more, Chu Jun is not without a single law minister. The great master of the Chu State, Feipin, has already arrived at the front line.
And subsequently, as time went by, more troops of the Chu State had also been assembled. At the same time, they can also use the influence of Emperor Wu to find more allies in the territory of Wu.
It is true that the main force of the Wu court has been dispersed, but this does not mean that they have lost all their war potential. It's one of the Nine Great Immortal Kingdoms, and it has stood for thousands of years, no matter what the current misery looks like, at least the foundation must still be there. Whether it is a occupied area or a non-occupied area, the remnants of the official state of Wu, local forces, and some sects...... These are all forces that can be leveraged.
The name of Emperor Wu and the Imperial Court of Wu still has a relatively strong appeal to these people.
In addition, the Yanqi coalition army is now in chaos, and I am afraid that it has no intention of fighting.
Under the combination of various factors, Fipin feels that he is not without the strength to fight.
What's more, it's not that he hasn't dealt with Lan Nuoxing, that guy is not his opponent at all.
In the past, the national strength of Wu at its peak was also at the bottom of the nine countries, and the relationship between Chu and Wu was not good, and there were no fewer conflicts between the two countries. And every time, Wu Guo is the one who suffers, and the number of times Lan Nuo Xingguang has publicly lost in the hands of his Fei Pin, there are two times.
On those two occasions, fortunately, Lan Nuoxing ran fast, and there was Wu Guojun behind him. But despite this, Fipin recalled that if he had been ruthless at that time, regardless of his injury, and willing to pay more costs, he would have at least seventy percent certainty that he would be able to kill Lan Nuoxing on the spot.
As for Weiyun, although Fei Pin has never dealt with him, he has once faced Xia Cang. Feipin thinks that his strength is about the same level as Xia Cang. And Weiyun, the last time he faced Xia Cang, he was completely suppressed.
In other words, in Fei Pin's estimation, even if the worst situation occurs, the army of Qi has recovered its combat capability, and the two armies are fighting openly and fairly, then although the other party has two law ministers in charge, the army of Chu may not be able to get any benefits, but at least under his own leadership, there will not be much problem in retreating.
Weighing left and right, Chu Jun made a move.
To the west of the kingdom of Wu, they marched in great force.
Their pace of march is not reckless. Step by step, and with little resistance.
In the western part of the state of Wu, the Yanqi coalition army had not yet had time to get involved. Here, the rule of the state of Wu is still largely maintained - of course, this is the local rule that has lost its center and has fallen into chaos.
And under the banner of Emperor Wu, in the name of Wu's allies, the Chu army that entered these places naturally did not suffer any resistance, and they took over these places smoothly.
These taken over territories, the state of Chu immediately launched corresponding management.
It's management, not governance.
Their management is very tough, and they directly support the local spokesmen with strong military pressure, and in this way, mobilize local manpower and material resources. On the one hand, it can better supply the army, and on the other hand, it can directly form a servant army.
This army, of course, is composed of all the local Wu people. They are in the name of the Protector Army, but in fact, they are almost equivalent to a team pulled out by the Chu people to be cannon fodder for them.
The so-called 'Protector Army', the average strength level of the monks, is very worrying. Moreover, both the level of equipment and the degree of tacit understanding between them are also very poor.
And the only thing that can be said about the will to fight is actually very worrying.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there were indeed some impassioned people who were resentful because of the fall of the country, and decided to join the army, fight with the Chu people, and drive out the Qi and Yan people.
But in fact, the vast majority of people understand that the people of Chu who stand with them are just as uneasy about their good intentions. He was completely pulled out by the Chu people as a role to block the gun, and he was cannon fodder.
has been used as cannon fodder, how strong will to fight and how high morale can you expect?
But in any case, this group of organized 'protectors', at least in number, is very large.
And the state of Chu is in the west, and every time it takes a step, the number of the so-called 'protector army' will further swell.
In the blink of an eye, when they entered the border of Jiangzhou, where the capital was built, the number of the 'Protector Army' and the main force of the Chu army had reached nearly 200,000.
That's a huge number.
And they Chen Bing did not go any further, they were waiting for more pressure.
Wei people, there are also moves.
For many years, the Wei state has been under the dual pressure of the north and the east. It was once the most powerful immortal kingdom in the east of the cultivation world, but after the last demonic turmoil, it was languishing to now, and even after that war, it ceded a large area of territory to the Wei State.
But that doesn't mean they're content to do that.
The national strength of Wei is still strong, and at the same time, they also have two masters of law, among which the great general Xia Cang was once an invincible existence in the eastern world.
Of course, all this was rewritten after Lu Qing was born.
But now under this opportunity, the people of Wei are not willing to be lonely.
They are the forces that are most reluctant to see the Wu Kingdom fall into the hands of the Lu family. In that case, they would be completely surrounded from north to east to south.
So, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Chu State to dispatch, the Wei people also organized a team of only twenty or thirty thousand, but it included many elites, and quickly went south.
The leader is Xuanwu Marquis Zheng Yu!
