TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 918: Chapter 386 Western Liang’s Tiger and Wolf Chapter 918: Chapter 386 Western Liang’s Tiger and Wolf At the border between Tonghai County and Song Country, the horses stood by the pass.

“Ha, these Song people have finally sent envoys to surrender.

I thought they were going to be stubborn to the end.”

In the conference hall, the Chu army’s generals gathered, and at the highest seat, Qing Hezi, holding the state document submitted by Song Country, couldn’t help but let out a light chuckle.

“Song Country is inherently weak, the least among the southwest three nations.

Their previous resistance was merely because they saw Nanzhao Country and Dali still holding out, harboring a stroke of luck.

Now that Nanzhao Country has surrendered, one of the Three Nations has fallen to us, Great Chu.

With only two remaining, naturally, they are no match for us.

That Song Junlin Hai, from the Coastal Aristocratic Family, is best at monopoly.

Seeing the trend has turned, of course, he wouldn’t stubbornly resist and lose his life here.”

On the left side below, Yulin County’s defense commander Li Liang now sneered, “Great Chu has been quite generous to him.

As a king of a fallen nation, he still got half a county for a fiefdom.

In the past, where could one find such good fortune?

It’s only because Heaven and Earth have changed that the lands to the south have become worthless, and our king has allowed these small nations to have them.

If they are not grateful, then they truly deserve to die by the sword.”

Regarding the Great Change of Heaven and Earth, after starting the war with Ning Country, over this past year, Lu Yuan had also informed all Inborn Grandmasters within the nation.

The purpose of this was to unify the people’s hearts, to make everyone realize the severity of the issue, and to gather all forces to focus their efforts northwards, competing for the land of Central State in the future.

Clearly, after more than a year of effort, the results thus far were not bad.

Just like at this moment.

For Lu Yuan’s favorable treatment of the southwestern nations, those in Chu State’s high-level who knew the truth had no objections whatsoever.

It’s but a useless piece of land that could only be developed for a hundred years, perhaps even less.

Even if Chu State took it over, to govern and develop it would take several decades, which would fundamentally be impossible without that much time.

And just when it might be difficultly developed, the Four-pole Heavenly Catastrophe would come.

The lands of Jiangnan may become a seething land of poison and fire in the future.

After decades of hard work, everything turns to ash; only a fool would engage in such a losing trade.

Rather than that, it’s better to let go of these worthless lands, allowing the rulers of these minor nations to manage the barbarians on their own territory.

Meanwhile, Great Chu would stand atop their heads to collect grain and taxes, simultaneously drawing away their troops and Inborn Grandmasters to bleed and toil for Chu State’s future campaigns in Central State.

Such vassal tribute strategies were the most time-saving and cost-effective.

“Now that Nanzhao and Song Country have both submitted, in this region of the southwest, only Dali Country remains.

Though powerful, with four Inborn and over two million barbarian citizens,

with the land of one country and two counties, to contend against the combined forces of Great Chu’s southwest, Lingnan, along with several western counties and fiefdoms, is akin to a mantis blocking a chariot.

If the king of Dali is wise, upon hearing the news of Song Country’s submission, he will send envoys to surrender.”

Next to him, the defense commander of Tonghai County, Han Hu, also spoke with a smile.

“True, but nobody can guarantee that the people of Dali Country will be stubborn and refuse to surrender.

To be on the safe side, we still need to press them.”

Listening to his subordinate’s words, Qing Hezi nodded slightly, but acting cautiously, after a moment of contemplation, turned his head towards Li Liang at his side and ordered, “General Li, I hereby appoint you as the defense commander of Jiuzhen County.

Effective immediately, lead our troops to Jiuzhen County for your new assignment.

Upon arrival, take over the military forces registered in Song Country’s Jiuzhen County and stabilize the local area.

At the same time, oversee the remnants of Song Country, ordering them to raise troops in the fiefdom of Yingsheng County, threatening Dali Country’s territory from the back, and forcing their submission.”

Upon Dali Country’s surrender, apart from giving up Jiuzhen County, they naturally had to hand over their military forces as well.

Ɲονǥօ.сο

After more than a year of recovery, since the Defeat of Yulin, the internal forces of Song Country had been reorganized back to a hundred thousand strong.

And within these hundred thousand, eighty thousand were registered in Jiuzhen County.

For these troops, Chu State obviously would not allow Song Country to take them away.

Thus, it was time to dispatch a high-ranking general to Jiuzhen County.

To accept the troops on one hand, and to handle the transfer of local governance on the other.

To supervise Song Country and prepare for any unforeseen events.

And considering his command, the most suitable for the task at this time was none other than Li Liang.

With the taking over of Jiuzhen County, Yulin County was now situated in the hinterland of Chu State, no longer adjoining enemy land, and it was essentially settled down.

Given that, the three regiments of the Forbidden Army, sixty thousand soldiers, formerly commanded and stationed there by Li Liang, obviously should not go to waste.

Therefore, Qing Hezi directly ordered him to head to Jiuzhen County, both to accept the surrender of Song Country and to handle the handover of land, registrars, military, and treasury affairs.

And to act as a supervisor, urging Song Country to deploy troops and assist in besieging Dali Country.

“I follow the command,” replied Li Liang upon hearing his appointment, his expression showing no signs of surprise.

Now, as Lu Yuan was no longer concealing his identity, many among Chu State’s high-level slowly began to sense the close relationship between the True Persons of the Qing and Huang factions and their own great king.

So, facing Qing Hezi, who was likely an avatar of his Master or some other identity, Li Liang dared not show any disrespect.

At this time, facing the other’s direct appointment and dismissal of a county’s defense commander, he found nothing amiss.

It was as if the great king himself had come, right?

If the great king wished to appoint or transfer a county’s defense commander, wouldn’t it be a matter of just a word, and who would dare, who could oppose it?

“Good, the matter of Song Country is thus settled.

For Nanzhao Country, send someone to urge them as well, to have their three vassal kings quickly raise troops and head to Dali Country’s border, responding to our forces from the west side,” Qing Hezi made the arrangements and felt considerably more relaxed in his heart, showing a trace of disdain on his face, “I would like to see, surrounded by enemies on three sides, under the pressure of my five hundred thousand strong army, whether Dali Country dares to hold out.”
