TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1154: Chapter 464: The Fall of Changping_3 Chapter 1154: Chapter 464: The Fall of Changping_3 “`

However, Lu Yuan and the Chu State he created have always enjoyed bringing change to others and spreading their own cultural glory ever since they started in Dongting.

Under Lu Yuan’s relentless persistence.

The Miao people disappeared, the Yi people disappeared, and the Barbarians disappeared…

The Jianghu martial artists who liked private feuds changed their ways; the deeply entrenched aristocratic families of Jiangdong disappeared into smoke and dust; the local tyrants who continually annexed land were beaten with an iron fist; countless people were changed with the birth of Chu State.

The current Tang Kingdom was no exception.

Therefore, as the wine banquet was in full swing, hurried footsteps burst into the grand hall, and two guards supported a messenger, who was in a total disarray, as they walked in.

This sudden incident dampened everyone’s spirits and drew discontent from the monarch and ministers.

But before they could react.

A panicked and weak voice echoed in the grand hall.

“Report~ Xihe urgent news, Chu army has captured Pingyang County, surprise troops attacked Xihe.

The Xihe army was caught off guard and blocked by the surprise troops of the Chu army.

Now, seven hundred thousand troops are trapped in Changping City, the situation is critical, this humble one specially came to request reinforcement…”

Having said that, the messenger who had run for three days and nights finally lost his will and fell into a deep sleep.

In the grand hall, the previously spirited and eloquent monarch and ministers fell into dead silence.

“How could the Chu bandits aim for Changping City?

And how did Pingyang County fall?”

After a long silence, a sharp cry of alarm broke the stillness.

“These are chaotic words, disturbing our military’s heart.

Your Majesty, this official requests a thorough investigation of this person, to ascertain his identity; he must be a Chu spy.” Some people, refusing to believe it, said subconsciously.

At this moment, someone stepped forward and searched the collapsed messenger, finding a token and looking at the letter for assistance.

Their expression darkened: “The token is genuine, and the handwriting is indeed that of the Gaoliang Marquis; the message is true.”

The speaker was a good friend of the Gaoliang Marquis and the commander of the Tang army from Xihe, Lu Zhong.

With his confirmation, everyone in the grand hall had no choice but to believe it.

“How could this be?

How could this be?”

“These Chu bandits, could they truly be divine soldiers?

Otherwise, how could they suddenly break through Pingyang and lay siege to Changping?”

Just a moment ago, they were disparaging Chu State and looking towards the future, but now reality had taught them a lesson.

Some couldn’t handle the shock, doubting the very meaning of life.

“Your Majesty, regardless of how the Chu bandits did it, Changping is now in danger, with seven hundred thousand troops there, and the Gaoliang Marquis and others are also trapped; we must rescue them.”

The person who had earlier volunteered to fight, the Wuyang Marquis of Tang, Yang Qingyuan, reacted swiftly and immediately volunteered: “Right now, Gaoping City has gathered an army of five hundred thousand, and there are also six Inborn Grandmasters ready within the city.

This official requests permission to lead this army at top speed to Changping City, to rescue the Gaoliang Marquis, repel the Chu threat from the south of Xihe, and protect our rivers and mountains.”

The Tang Emperor, who finally came to his senses from shock, confusion, and panic, also reacted at this point.

Upon hearing Yang Qingyuan’s request, he immediately agreed, “Let it be as Wuyang Marquis says, we entrust the five hundred thousand strong army from Gaoping City and the other five Inborn Generals all to Yang Qing.

All matters regarding the supply of the expedition’s supplies, and the provision of food and fodder by the prefectures and counties along the way, I will immediately decree all departments and local prefectures and counties to prepare thoroughly.

The fate of Great Tang and the rise and fall of the army are all entrusted to you.”

Despite still being puzzled about how the Chu people captured Pingyang County and became divine soldiers in Xihe.

The crisis in Changping was pressing, with tens of thousands of troops trapped, and even the loss of Xihe County appeared imminent.

All these risks were indeed real.

If Tang did not want to lose these troops or Xihe County, a rescue mission was necessary.

Yang Qingyuan solemnly accepted the mission: “Your Majesty, rest assured, this official will lead the troops to repel the Chu bandits, secure Changping, and keep the invaders out of Xihe.”

Hmm, even at this moment, Wuyang Marquis still had confidence in his troops against the Chu army.

He intended to confront the Chu army on the battlefield and drive them out of Xihe County.

It has to be said, Tang Kingdom’s confidence indeed far exceeded that of other countries.

Or perhaps.

Because the Chu army acted too swiftly, causing Tang to be unclear of the details, a lack of intelligence led to a misjudgment of the situation.

But no matter what.

Under the pressure of Chu’s advancing army, Tang began to desperately save itself.

The Tang troops in Gaoping City started to move.

However, mobilizing an army of five hundred thousand at such short notice was not so easy.

The assembly of troops, the preparation of supplies, and the provision of logistics all required planning.

So even though Yang Qingyuan was anxious, without these preparations completed, he couldn’t immediately move out with his troops.

As for taking light troops and hurrying to Xihe first?

For a battle involving a million people, bringing just tens of thousands of light troops would be no more than serving oneself up to the Chu army on a platter, utterly ineffective.

Only when tens of thousands of troops press forward can they pose a threat to the Chu army and lift the siege of Changping.

When the number of troops reaches a certain scale, in the face of absolute strength, various conspiracies and tricks become truly non-threatening.

This is also one of the reasons why Tang had been so confident previously.

Because the strength of both sides had already exceeded a certain limit, enough to be immune to certain schemes.

Previous sneak attacks of the Chu army were ineffective in the face of real strength.

Yet, for some reason, methods that should not have worked were still effective for the Chu army?

Even taking over Pingyang County and laying siege to Changping City?

This caused the Tang government, top to bottom, to be utterly baffled.

Even this confusion sowed unease in their hearts, casting a shadow over the rescue mission, with a bad premonition enveloping them.

And that premonition soon came to pass.

Just as the Tang troops in Gaoping City were preparing to set out.

On the fifth day since the news from Changping City in the south reached them, another shocking and terrible news arrived.

Changping City had been under siege for just five days; the Chu army attacked day and night and the defenders, inside and out, couldn’t hold on, ultimately resulting in the city being conquered by the Chu army.

The seven hundred thousand strong force at the Changping front was completely wiped out.

Only two Inborn individuals from Tang managed to blend in with the chaos, found an opportunity to break out, and escaped back to Gaoping City.

And they also brought back the truth about how the divine troops of Chu, as well as Gaoyang County, Pingyang County, and Changping City, fell so quickly.
