Age of mythical princes

Chapter 474 The decisive battle between Chu and Jin

Everyone in the village knows that a unification war is about to begin.

The entire Yancheng, with a population of tens of billions under its control, became excited.Some are worried, some are excited, and they have all kinds of ideas.

Even some of the survivors of the former dynasty who were supposedly living in seclusion on floating islands overseas were getting excited now.

Some are even ready to take revenge.

For example, within the several floating islands where the Yue Kingdom is located, there are several ministers who plan to join the army and eventually participate in the war with the Wu Kingdom.

However, this kind of people generally cannot join the army in Yancheng today.

Yancheng's army does not lack these ministers.Letting them in would contaminate the otherwise clean army.

Who knows if these people are trustworthy?

Who knows if these people might be obsessed with revenge?

Who knows if they might disobey military orders out of revenge and end up having a negative impact on the Unification War?
To put it bluntly, after this unification war, the whole world will be the people of Yancheng, and we will all be one family.Since we are a family, it is obviously not allowed to allow certain people to use the unification war to retaliate against their personal enemies.

Times have changed, and the rules have naturally changed.

However, many people are not knowledgeable enough and have not realized this yet.

In the Kingdom of Chu, Duke Chu and Wang Jujun were sitting opposite each other.

It snowed today, the snow was neither big nor small. Mr. Chu let the snowflakes fall on him. In fact, it was not cold at all, but Mr. Chu felt very cold in his heart at the moment.

Duke Chu received a secret letter from Qu Yuan.

Qu Yuan was also a member of the Qu family, and his father was Boyong. Boyong also served as the envoy of the Chu State in Yancheng and was fully responsible for all matters of the Chu State in Yancheng.

However, when Baijia was more than 80 years old, Boyong inexplicably became the legendary mastermind because he took the blame for Lu Buwei and Fan Li.In the history books of various countries today, in the descriptions of the unprecedented collapse of the Yancheng Exchange, Boyong is said to be the mastermind behind it.

Although the top brass knew that Boyong was wronged, they were in the minority after all, and no one would stand up to clear up Boyong's grievances.

Boyong made 60 trillion in one breath for the Chu State, but he also had a bounty of [-] trillion on his own head.

Therefore, Boyong returned to Chu State, returned to the noble assembly, and held important positions.

Now, Boyong's son Qu Yuan has also grown up, and has become a real person early, becoming the new envoy of Chu State.

This letter contains Qu Yuan's recent experiences and analysis.

Reading the content of the letter, Mr. Chu felt his heart go cold.

"Today in Yancheng, the people's support is at hand, and people spontaneously took to the streets to publicize this war."

"The people of Yancheng do not feel that this is an unjust war. They only feel that they are taunting the people and punishing them. They believe that the fastest way to end the troubled times is to launch a unified war from Yancheng. They believe that only the war of unification can be launched by Yancheng. This is the greatest kindness.”

"Yancheng is expanding its army and has not concealed it. Many young Taoist priests and Taoist priests have even taken the initiative to sign up with the local government and want to join the army. However, Yancheng currently does not have anyone who wants to join the army. They are still very picky and need to be assessed. After a series of assessments, , to officially join the army."

"According to our estimates, the prefecture-level Taoist soldiers in Yancheng have expanded to more than 200 million this time. However, recruiting millions of Taoist priests at once does not seem to affect the prosperity of Yancheng. Various industries still exist, and some industries, Even more prosperous.”

"The number of articles published in journals has not decreased significantly. People's lives are not much different from those in peaceful times."

Seeing this, Duke Chu couldn't help but start thinking about the situation in Chu State.

In the current state of Chu, the first batch of [-] Taoist soldiers had already arrived at the front line. This [-]-strong army was commanded by Xiang Yan.Xiang Yan is Xiang Ji's grandfather, but the commander-in-chief of this battle is Xiang Ji.

The second batch of 20 troops also arrived at the front line. These 20 troops were commanded by Zeng Zi.

Wu's [-]-strong army was commanded by Sun Wu.

Zheng's [-]-strong army was commanded by Le Yi.

Xiang Ji's headquarters has about [-] troops.

At this moment, there are about [-] prefecture-level Taoist soldiers gathered near Yingdu.

Duke Chu continued to recruit prefecture-level Taoist soldiers and worked hard to train new Taoist priests and doctors, but this all took time.

The Chu State has a profound heritage and a vast territory, but it takes a lot of time to train a scholar or sorcerer into a Chinese citizen or Taoist priest.Those who were just a hair away from breaking through have already broken through.For the rest, it is still early for a breakthrough.Even if you use the secret method to squeeze the potential, you can't break through, you can only wait.

Moreover, after so many Taoist priests were mobilized in one breath, the entire Chu Kingdom quickly withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like autumn has come and everything begins to wither. The decline was too obvious.

"Get ready for a decisive battle. At least we have to fight one battle and try to become a saint. If Ji'er can become a saint, then the Chu country will still have a future. If Ji'er cannot become a saint, there will be no other accidents..." Wang Jujun nodded seriously. He nodded: "I will once again mobilize domestic Taoist priests. This time, even Taoist priests and doctors from various research institutions and other industries will be mobilized."

However, such a deployment, even if the battle is won, will bring huge disaster to Chu State!
Just like the State of Wei, there are a total of 30 Taoist priests and officials in the State of Wei, of which 20 are among the military soldiers of Wei.The remaining [-] are engaged in various industries. This ratio is already very high among other countries. This is due to the strong control ability of Wei Si, Li Kui and others over Wei.

Previously, Wei State had recruited 5 soldiers. These 20 people were drawn from Wei's reserve force. There are still [-] Taoist priests in the country, engaged in various industries. Therefore, Wei State can still develop as usual without affecting all aspects of Wei State. It still looks very prosperous.

But if 20 of these 20 Taoist priests engaged in various industries were transferred at one go, the Wei state would decline visibly.If [-] people were transferred in one go, Wei would really go back ten years overnight.If we allocate [-] in one breath and all of them are transferred, we will be unable to survive and there will be no tomorrow. Such decline is inevitable.

This is what the Chu State is like now.

The Chu State originally had a vast territory and rich resources, and always had 20 prefecture-level Taoist soldiers.

But now, there are already 45 troops, of which 35 are on the front line and [-] are in Yingdu.

Of the extra 25, 15 were obtained from the reserves using elixirs and secret techniques to temporarily break through.But the remaining [-] were taken from all walks of life, and the price was that Chu State was obviously no longer prosperous.

This time, Wang Jujun plans to allocate another 15.

After the 15 is withdrawn, if you are not careful, all walks of life in Chu State may be set back 30 years!
Once defeated this time, it may take 100 or even hundreds of years for Chu to recover.

……

As soon as the Chu State began to further mobilize manpower, the news spread to the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei.

The main reason is that the move is too big and cannot be hidden at all.

Chu State followed up, and Han, Zhao and Wei could only grit their teeth and follow suit.

As a result, South Korea continued to mobilize 15 troops, totaling 20 troops.This time, South Korea has really reached its limit. No matter whether it wins or loses in this battle, South Korea will go back [-] years.

The Wei State mobilized 25 Taoist priests and officials from all walks of life, and overnight it was set back ten years.There are a total of 20 troops, of which [-] are in South Korea.

Zhao State, like Wei State, retained 20 people in the country, and [-] people in South Korea.

As for the Chu State, a hundred thousand troops were left in the country, mainly at the junction of Bashu and Jingzhou to prevent Qin from leaving Sichuan.

The Three Kingdoms Allied Forces of 55 faced the Chu, Wu, and Zheng Allied Forces of 64.

The main force of both sides is close to 120 million.

And for this battle, the auxiliary troops dispatched by both sides were all Xuan-level Taoist soldiers.

In order to ensure logistics, the two countries opened temporary canals one after another and built rail cars one after another.

A bigu pill that can keep the doctor from being hungry for seven days requires hundreds of kilograms of spiritual rice, hundreds of kilograms of spiritual springs, at least ten kilograms of big demon meat and various spiritual herbs.

Such a Bigu Pill is divided into two types: long shelf life and short shelf life.

Those with a long shelf life have more complex training methods that only Taoist priests can master, and the refining time is longer and the cost is higher.

Those with a short shelf life are relatively simple to practice and can be mastered by warlocks, and the refining time is faster and the cost is lower.The cost of one of the former is equivalent to five or six of the latter.

As for such a Bigu Pill, when it comes time for a battle, a prefecture-level Taoist soldier will take one and evolve into his true form. In just a few moments, he will be able to completely digest all the spiritual energy contained in the Bigu Pill.By then, if you want to continue fighting, you will need more food.

At this moment, Han Xin recounted the battle to Jiang Hua and other senior officials based on the intelligence he had collected.

"Right now, both sides are in a testing phase."

"For example, intelligence came today that the Chu State had destroyed more than ten rail cars, and a large amount of materials such as spiritual rice and spiritual springs transported on them were destroyed. But after destroying the food, these people were discovered by the Chu army, and then they were He was beheaded on the spot, his head was missing, and his death was desolate."

"This battle is equivalent to the Allied Forces of the Three Jin Dynasties, which lost one prime minister, twelve Taoist priests, and hidden secrets that may have been exposed, while Chu State's losses were more than ten rail cars and the souls on the rail cars. Rice, spiritual spring."

"Today's Chu army has at least one Taoist priest sitting on every rail car. This is enough to ensure that even if the track is damaged, the rail car will not be directly destroyed and no one will be killed."

"Even if the track is damaged, the Taoist priest in charge of logistics can quickly restore the track after casting a spell to ensure normal logistics transportation."

"For the three Jin coalition forces, this is a battle with the Chu State. At the same time, it is also testing the Chu State's reality."

"For example, the quality, type, and quantity of rice transported in each rail car. If these statistics are taken together, many problems can be seen."

"This is a war between great powers. At this point, strategies are of no use. What matters is national strength!"
