Chapter 743: Chapter 327: First Victory Reception_2

Fortunately, no matter whether this matter can be clarified or not, it actually has no bearing on the overall situation.

Regardless of what Dongfang Wuyun was thinking, he had already led his troops to Hanzhong Prefecture by this time.

When the time came and the army was under Nanzheng city, they would surround him in the city, making it impossible for him to escape, and then kill him.

Killing a mere Inborn First Realm Grandmaster was not a difficult task for Qingyunzi.

He was confident that he would handle this matter well and fulfill the instructions of his original body.

“However, before that, I should hurry up and reach Nanzheng before the news spreads and they react, so as to cut off their retreat.”

With this thought, Qingyunzi sighed lightly.

The key to this surprise attack was speed.

So fast that the enemy would have no preparation, so fast that they wouldn’t have time to react.

The first step had already been successfully completed.

But the second step…

Looking down at the fleet below him, which was already moving forward desperately, but due to going against the current, its speed was still not very fast, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

With their current speed, even if they traveled day and night without stopping, the fastest they could reach Nanzheng city would be in two days.

And two days’ time.

If the Zhou People were smart, they would have enough time to send news of what happened on the pier back to Nanzheng city.

Although the enemy might know about it, it would be difficult for them to organize effective defenses within a day or two.

But this was still a hidden danger.

“I need to consider a few things in advance…”

Qingyunzi frowned and thought for a while, before turning and beckoning a personal guard, ordering him after he arrived: “Pass the order to General Luo Cheng, after arriving at Taibai Prefecture, disembark at Yunpu Pier.’

Then ask him to lead his 20,000 troops to attack and capture Baishi Prefecture City.’

After capturing the city, he will lead another group of troops northward, seize Xiegu Pass, and completely cut off the connection between Hanzhong Prefecture and the Zhou People in the north.’

Hanzhong Prefecture, surrounded by mountains on all sides, can be described as a small basin wrapped by mountain ridges.

To the east of Hanzhong Prefecture, there is the Han River connecting Xiangyang Prefecture. To the south, where it borders Xichuan Prefecture, there is a Jianmenguan Pass separating the north and south.’

To the west, where it borders Longxi Prefecture, there is a Yangping Pass blocking the main road. To the north and Guannei Prefecture, there is Xiegu Pass.’

These three passes and one river are all dangerous. If they can be fully occupied, they will be enough to block all directions and keep the enemy out.

Since it was impossible to completely block the news from reaching Nanzheng city, Qingyunzi simply didn’t bother stopping it.

His goal was just to wipe out the Zhou army in Hanzhong Prefecture and capture and kill Dongfang Wuyun, the Grand General of the Pillar State in the South.’

At this point, Qingyunzi couldn’t predict what the enemy would think, what they would do.’

But he could guarantee what the enemy could not do.’

For example, sending troops to seize Xiegu Pass first, blocking the Zhou People’s escape route to the north.’

Then let Huang Xuan, the Incumbent Southern Army’s light troops, attack Yangping Pass from the south.’

In this way, the three passes and one river in Hanzhong Prefecture would all be in Chu State’s hands, and the Zhou People in the prefecture would become like fish in the barrel, unable to escape even if they had wings.’

“This matter needs to be told to Huang Xuan. In order to ensure timely communication, I should contact my original body and let him speak to Huang Xuan.”

Qingyunzi thought for a moment, then closed his eyes slightly, concentrated his thoughts, and began to reach out to his original body thousands of miles away.

Although the connection between the original body and the avatars could span tens of millions of miles, this kind of communication was limited to the original body and the avatars. There was no such ability between the external avatars and the avatars themselves.

So at this moment, even if Qingyunzi wanted to let Huang Xuan cooperate without wasting time, he could only first tell his original body his plans, then have the original body notify Huang Xuan.

Although it was a bit troublesome, it was much faster than sending a messenger from his side to Huang Xuan, which would take a day or half a day.

…

In Huaguang Hall, Lu Yuan was receiving the barbarian emissaries and explaining to them the matter of sending troops to Hanzhong today.

As he spoke, he sensed a resonance in the dark connection, so he couldn’t help but pause, his eyes slightly focused.’

“Hmm… does it need Huang Xuan’s cooperation?”

After receiving the message, he whispered inaudibly, and then closed his eyes as well, passing the received information from Qingyunzi through the connection between the original body and the avatar to Huang Xuan.’

After this back and forth, it took only five or six breaths for the message to be transmitted.’

The speed was so fast that the barbarian envoys below thought that the King of Chu had just hesitated for a moment and then quickly came back to his senses, without noticing anything unusual.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Your Majesty, as you say, Chu has already started attacking Zhou. However, with my due diligence, I have not heard any news of Chu mobilizing troops or seen any signs of it.’

“I cannot determine whether this news is true or false, and I cannot pass such one-sided information back to the Snowy Wilderness. I cannot ask the spiritual woman to come to Chu now.”

Although the five envoys instinctively believed that the King of Chu would not deceive them, this deception had no point and could be easily exposed.’

But at the same time.’

As the envoy said, Chu’s deception and concealment this time was executed so well.’

Before it was launched, it not only deceived them but also outsiders.’

Until the news from Hanzhong has been specifically reported back, no one dares to believe that Chu has already begun to declare war on Zhou.’

Because at this moment, in the eyes of outsiders, Chu and Zhou were still preparing to trade grain and were in the honeymoon phase of a semi-alliance.’
