TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1155: Chapter 465: Breaking Through the Four Kingdoms Chapter 1155: Chapter 465: Breaking Through the Four Kingdoms The Chu army breached Gaoyang, Pingyang, and Xihe Counties in one month, annihilating over 1.5 million troops from the Tang and Zheng kingdoms.

Behind this glorious victory was the truth that as many as sixty or seventy Inborn Grandmasters were involved.

Upon learning the truth that Chu State chose to focus such a large number of Inborn Grandmasters for a surprise attack to break through the entire western defense line,

The people of Tang Kingdom, shocked by how quickly Changping City had fallen, could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.

They had never imagined that in order to win, the Chu people would be so crazed as to break the previous conventions that existed between the Inborn Grandmasters of various nations and use the formidable combat power of the Inborn Grandmasters to massacre ordinary soldiers.

What frightened them even more was that Chu State could actually assemble so many Inborn Grandmasters to achieve this effect of a surprise attack.

That was as many as sixty or seventy Inborn Grandmasters!

Just thinking about that number was enough to make one shudder.

As they contemplated the terrifying force that would soon be descending upon Tang Kingdom and arriving at Gaoping City, the hearts of the Monarch and Ministers of Tang trembled uncontrollably.

Because they knew

that even if all of the remaining forces of Tang Kingdom were to band together, they were fundamentally no match for this strength.

The current Tang Kingdom could perhaps assemble an army of one or two million by relying on its great national power,

but after suffering three devastating losses on the entire western front, they had already lost sixteen Inborn Grandmasters on the battlefield.

And the original number of Inborn Grandmasters in Tang Kingdom was only twenty-seven.

Having lost sixteen in an instant, the remaining number of Inborn Grandmasters was reduced to just eleven.

Eleven Inborns, along with a million or so troops—was this force capable of withstanding the seventy or more Inborn Grandmasters of Chu State and their elite army of over one million soldiers?

After understanding the detailed strength of the Chu army,

even the people of Tang Kingdom, no matter how confident they were, couldn’t guarantee victory anymore in the face of continuous defeats and the bloody reality.

All arrogance seemed so fragile and vulnerable in front of the iron fist of reality.

Once their confidence had been shattered, the people of Tang Kingdom had a reactionary response, shifting from extreme confidence to extreme fear.

Fear of the Chu people, fear of the Chu army, fear of Lu Yuan.

“The army must immediately halt its expedition and have Wuyanghou lead the troops from the Capital to set up a new defensive line around Gaoping City immediately,”

was the first decree issued by the Tang Emperor after coming to his senses.

With the Chu thieves possessing more than seventy Inborn Grandmasters and Changping City already being captured, it was estimated that Xihe County had also been occupied by Chu thieves, turning it into a dead zone.

If they were to send people to Xihe County now, it would be like walking into a tiger’s den or delivering fat meat to someone’s doorstep.

If they really did that, the Chu people might even laugh out loud.

The Tang Emperor was not that foolish.

He might be arrogant, but he was not stupid.

And after such a painful and heavy blow, the loss of 1.25 million soldiers and the fall of sixteen Inborn Grandmasters, he had come to realize the terror of the Chu army.

The Tang Kingdom had already lost most of its strength due to its previous arrogance.

Even if the Tang Emperor despised and hated the Chu army in his heart, his kingdom’s current situation no longer allowed for his capriciousness.

Because if there were any mistakes in the next step, that could lead to the downfall of the nation.

With the responsibility for the Ancestral Temple and Altars of Soil and Grain weighing on him, the Tang Emperor could not afford to be careless.

And other Tang Ministers who had been jolted awake were now shrinking like quails, keeping their heads down, no longer daring to clamor for a decisive battle with the Chu army.

Any clear-sighted person could see that Tang Kingdom was no longer a match for Chu State, and the Tang army couldn’t beat the Chu army.

Continuing this way could lead to the actual fall of their nation.

Thus, some changed their stance and began to make suggestions they would never have made before: “Your Majesty, with the Chu bandits coming with such ferocity, relying solely on our Great Tang is certainly not an opponent for the Chu bandits.

This minister pleads to be dispatched as an envoy to Xu State and Xu State to seek aid, asking them to send troops to our rescue.”

The Tang Emperor, already extremely anxious and insecure in his heart, had already been considering this matter.

It’s just that he had spoken too confidently before and couldn’t face losing face by bringing up the need for aid,

When someone finally brought it up, he immediately agreed, “Minister Ji speaks wisely.

If that is the case, then the envoy mission to Xu State shall be entrusted to you.”

After speaking, the Tang Emperor turned to another person who had been called in.

“Minister Zhang has always had good relations with Xu State.

The mission as envoy to Xu State will be overseen by Minister Zhang.”

“Your servant obeys the decree.”

The two Tang Ministers, who had significant relations with Xu and Xu States, solemnly accepted the command.

“The nation is in peril, and my safety is entirely in the hands of you two Loyal Subjects.

I implore you to secure reinforcements to pull our Great Tang out of dire straits!”

Mindful of his present predicament, the Tang Emperor couldn’t help but shed tears.

Seeing this, Ji and Zhang felt moved and bowed deeply in acknowledgement, “Your Majesty, rest assured, if we fail to secure reinforcements during this mission, we shall embrace death in Xu (Xu).”

The Tang Emperor, deeply moved, replied, “My dear subjects, you do not need to do so.

Even if there are no reinforcements, take care of yourselves.

Great Tang will still rely on you in the future to assist me in our revival…”

Even if reinforcements could be secured from Xu and Xu States this time, saving Tang Kingdom was just the beginning.

When the Chu army marched north, they had pierced through the entire western defense line of Tang Kingdom in just one month, not only annihilating the main force of the Tang army above but also snatching the two counties that Tang Kingdom had developed in Yuzhou.

Unlike other provincial overlords, Tang Kingdom did not immediately relocate its main population to Central State after securing a part of its territory.
