TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 983: Chapter 407: The Six Major Military Expeditions_3 Chapter 983: Chapter 407: The Six Major Military Expeditions_3 ‘The Yangxia Expeditionary Army has one million soldiers, with nineteen Inborns.

The Hanzhong Expeditionary Army has four hundred thousand soldiers and two million civilian workers, with ten Inborns.

The Heyang Expeditionary Army has one million soldiers and two million civilian workers, with nineteen Inborns.

Like this, that makes two million four hundred thousand soldiers, four million civilian workers, and forty-eight Inborns.’

After listening to his master’s arrangements, Zhou Qing slowly calculated the numbers of troops to be mobilized in his mind, then said, “Master, if so, after arranging these three camps, Great Chu would still have three million six hundred thousand soldiers, eight million civilian workers, and sixty-seven Inborn Grandmasters unassigned.”

“Yes, those people are still available.”

Lu Yuan nodded: “These people, I plan to divide into three route expeditionary armies: west, central, and east.

The western expeditionary army, led by Huang Lin as the Camp Commander, will have one million two hundred thousand soldiers, two million civilian workers, and twenty Inborns.

Their responsibility will be to cross the river from Jiangxia Prefecture of Liang State, move northward, take on the task of capturing Liang’s Jiangxia, Xingyang, and Jiying counties, and seize its eastern borders.

Once they have captured the whole of Liang’s east, the army will station there to defend against troops from Wei and Zhao in the west and north directions.

The central expeditionary army will be led by me personally as the Commander, with one million six hundred thousand soldiers, two million five hundred thousand civilian workers, and twenty-five Inborns.

The eastern expeditionary army will be led by Qingxuanzi as the Camp Commander, with eight hundred thousand soldiers, one million five hundred thousand civilian workers, and fifteen Inborns.

Initially, the central and eastern expeditionary armies will cross the river together from Guangling Prefecture, taking advantage of the opportunity when Liang’s main force is drawn to the Yangxia Expeditionary Army and its southern territory and interior are left empty, to quickly capture Liang’s three prefectures north of the river and the East Sea County.

After this, the two expeditionary armies will split up.

The eastern expeditionary army will continue eastward, along the way capturing Liang’s southern and southeastern counties such as Chengyang, Rencheng, Yingling, and Jiaodong, striving to clear the way to Yuzhou’s Yangxia County and meet up with the main camp led by Huang Xuan.

As for me, I will continue to lead the main force of the central route north to attack Liang County, strike at the great city of Liang in Jingji, draw their main force back to defend it, and threaten their central and northern counties.

At the same time, I will hold there, waiting for the eastern route and Yangxia forces to join up before leading the troops to encircle from behind and eradicate Liang’s last remaining forces near the great city, thus extinguishing their Altars of Soil and Grain and dynasty.”

Lu Yuan expounded his plan for the annihilation of Liang, which he had been contemplating these days.

The strategy encompassed four directional campaigns, including luring the tiger away from the mountain, avoiding the strong and striking the weak, coordination from all sides, penetrating directly into the heart, targeting critical points, and extended detours.

It could be said that he had pushed his military style, the advantage of his avatars, and the Chu army’s strengths in maneuvers to the utmost.

Otherwise, such a complex plan and massive troop deployment couldn’t be handled by just anyone.

Lu Yuan was able to manage it because of Great Chu’s fifty years of military development achievements, his rich experience in commanding troops, and the most important factor, his Immortal cultivation technique that allowed the creation of avatars.

It was Immortal cultivation combined with military strategy that formed the core of this huge troop deployment.

This Immortal technique, can ordinary people manage it?

Zhou Qing, having listened to his master’s plan, could not help but admire and said, “If we act according to this plan, Liang State is doomed.”

Faced with Lu Yuan’s series of combination blows and millions of troops exerting their strength together, if they indeed could achieve coordination and combine forces, then truly no one in the world could withstand it.

Liang State would not be able to cope.

Even Great Chu, which initiated this plan without preparing defenses, if someone were to use the same tactics on them, would also struggle.

However, after Zhou Qing’s admiration, he still felt somewhat unconvinced and asked, “Master, aside from the arrangements made above, there are still two million civilian workers and seven Inborns left.

Are we not going to use these people?”

Lu Yuan smiled upon hearing this and said, “I temporarily do not wish to use these people.

Instead, I plan to leave them within the country.

During these days, I thought some more; extracting millions of soldiers and over a hundred Inborns from the country almost empties it.

Initially, only fourteen Inborns remained for domestic defense, along with some local prefecture and county soldiers and militia, which is far too weak for defense.

It’s really difficult to thoroughly defend all critical areas in the southwest, Lingnan, Hanzhong, the coastal regions of the east, and the central heartland of the country.

Therefore, I plan to leave a general in charge, leading the remaining six Inborns, plus the original fourteen Inborns, for a total of twenty-one people, to stay within the country and defend our old home.

At the same time, I will train the remaining two million civilian workers, organizing them according to the requirements of local prefecture and county soldiers, to strengthen the country’s defense.

Thus, although this will further increase the logistical burden, it can secure our rear, and such a cost is bearable.”

As he said this, Lu Yuan looked at Zhou Qing and said, “This position of the general staying behind to defend the country is crucial and must be entrusted to a trusted confidant.

I want you to take over this duty, Xiaoqing, would you be willing?”

Zhou Qing was silent for a moment, then nodded: “Your disciple is willing and swears to guard Great Chu for the master.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan showed a smile, patted the shoulder of his eldest disciple, and said, “I know letting you opt out of the Northern Expedition, without the chance to earn military merits, is somewhat unfair to you.

Rest assured, after we have annihilated Liang and Wei, I will let you lead an army to personally extinguish a state and make your mark.”

Zhou Qing shook his head: “Master, you know your disciple.

I do not care about such empty honors.

In this life, my only wish is for Great Chu to flourish and for the world to find peace.”

Lu Yuan laughed heartily: “Well said, truly worthy of being my proudest eldest disciple.

Such breadth of spirit and magnanimity befit the heroes of the world.”

…

Months later.

In the fortieth year of Shenwu, autumn, the ninth month.

After months of preparation and posturing, the controversy over the Zheng Kingdom ceding land to Chu State finally reached a conclusion.

Facing protests from Liang State, Chu State still dispatched troops to Yangxia.

furthermore, they appointed the renowned general Huang Xuan to organize the Yangxia Expeditionary Army right within the ceded territory of Yangxia County, leading a force of a million to threaten the eastern border of Liang.

The court of Liang State felt deeply uneasy about this.

Therefore, the Emperor of Liang ordered the formation of a Jiaodong Expeditionary Army, also amassing a force of a million soldiers, to stand off against Chu’s Yangxia Expeditionary Army.

For a time, both Chu and Liang were enveloped in the scent of rising war, with a major conflict seemingly on the verge of breaking out.

The Nine Provinces of the world were also stirred by the standoff between the first and second greatest powers of the era, with the clouds of war looming ominously.

Chu State’s Northern Expedition had officially begun.
