TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 727: Chapter 322: Eliminate the Die Together

A war cannot be easily instigated with a snap of the fingers or a wag of the tongue.

It requires the preparation of various aspects, such as the mobilization of troops and horses, accumulation of food and fodder, and the strategy of dispatching soldiers, before choosing the right timing and opportunity to launch the war according to the predetermined strategy.

For the upcoming Battle of Hanzhong, Lu Yuan was responsible for the mobilization of troops, deployment strategies, and other aspects.

As Chu State’s highest military commander, he had to be involved in the approval and consent of the movement of troops within the country, both large and small.

Therefore, the decision on which army to dispatch for the conquest of Hanzhong could only be made by Lu Yuan.

First of all, the garrison troops originally stationed in Qianzhong County and Dongting County could not be mobilized.

That is to say, the fourteen thousand soldiers and ten Forbidden Army units in Qianzhong County, as well as the local prefecture and county soldiers of both counties, were all reserved for defensive purposes.

They were needed to deter the southwest and guard against Ning Country, so their important duties could not be easily disrupted.

Besides the garrison forces in these two counties, Lu Yuan could only mobilize two units of the Forbidden Army and forty thousand soldiers from within Dongting County.

As for Xiangyang and Xichuan Counties-

There were a total of three Forbidden Armies stationed in Xichuan territory.

Of these, two were stationed at Jianmenguan in the north of Xichuan County to defend against Zhou soldiers in Hanzhong County, and the remaining one was stationed in Jinguan City to serve as a mobile force, ready to assist Xichuan and Hegu Counties in quelling local rebellions.

The Forbidden Army in Jinguan City must not be moved under any circumstances.
