TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 799: Chapter 346: Changes in Various Countries

The preparations for Chu State’s Southern Expedition were in full swing.

This expedition was expected to mobilize sixty thousand forbidden troops and one hundred thousand vassal state troops.

Such a large number of troops would consume over one hundred thousand stones of grain per month. Including civilian workers for grain transportation, the total would be several hundred thousand stones.

It was impossible to conceal such a large-scale transport of supplies and personnel.

Therefore, when these clues were exposed and collected by those who were interested, the surrounding forces immediately drew a conclusion.

The conclusion was that after the battle of Hanzhong, Chu State did not intend to stop, but planned to start a new war.

Moreover, this war was not small in scale, involving the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of people, almost equivalent to a national war.

After the news spread, it immediately aroused the attention and tension of many people, especially those small countries in Lingnan.

Based on the existing evidence, the troops mobilized by Chu State were probably between one hundred and two hundred thousand.

With such an army, they couldn’t attack Zhou Country’s Xiangyang and Nanyang in the north, as the stationed troops there numbered over two hundred thousand. Together with civilian workers, they could easily have four to five hundred thousand people.

With such a formidable strength, unless Chu State devoted its entire force to the north, it would not be able to take this region.

Therefore, Zhou Country was naturally excluded from the target list.

The same logic applied to Ning Country in the east.

Ning Country bordered Chu State’s Xiangyang and Yuzhang prefectures.
