Chapter 561: 266: Initial Victory and Seeking Support_3



Long spears stood like a forest, and over ten thousand soldiers of the Great Chu, who had been sleeping on their weapons, slowly approached a larger barbarian army rushing towards them in response to the command from the king at the front line.

Horses neighed, and a rain of arrows flew through the sky.

Under the blazing sun, accompanied by a dazzling figure leading the charge, the fierce barbarian soldiers melted away like snow.

Countless heroic yellow-armored soldiers also advanced fearlessly under the leadership of the king.

In the eighth month of the fourth year of Shenwu.

At the foot of Jianjia Ridge, southeast of Stone City, King of Chu, Lu Yuan, led ten thousand soldiers in a surprise attack on the main camp of the Da Changhe army, which had been besieging the city for several months.

In the first battle, he broke through the defenses of seven main camps with a fire attack and captured the ridge.

Later, he led his troops to face the barbarian reinforcements. The King of Chu fought in the front line, breaking the enemy once more.

At the foot of Jianjia Ridge, Chu’s army won two battles, killing and capturing more than twenty thousand enemies.

As soon as Lu Yuan arrived at Stone City, he scored a brilliant victory.

After receiving the news, Chilih’s army abandoned its eastern camp that very day, retreated more than a dozen miles, and withdrew its troops to their main camp.

After a few more days, during the standoff, the Great Chu’s reinforcements arrived.

Soon, sixty thousand Chu troops gathered under Stone City.

During this time, news came from the north and south.

Both the Hui Chuan Kingdom in the north and the Nong Dong Kingdom in the south of the Great Changhe country had been invaded by the Chu people.

At this time, the soldiers of these two countries were all gathered under Stone City and had no strength to resist. Within a few days, they lost more than half of their territory.

If no reinforcements arrived, it would only be a matter of time before they lost everything.

In a short period, the Great Changhe country, which was on the verge of suppressing the rebellion and enjoying a favorable situation, suddenly plunged into turmoil.

A crisis of national extinction loomed over the country.

“What should we do?”

A heavy atmosphere and a pessimistic mood filled the large tent.

Li River looked around at the people with different expressions and asked the question.

However, no one dared to answer or even meet his gaze in response to his inquiry.

The devastating defeat a few days ago had been too heavy a blow. And the sporadic encounters in the past few days were also more defeats than victories, with hardly any wins at all.

Especially with the bad news coming from the Hui Chuan and Nong Dong fronts, everyone’s spirits became even lower.

At this moment, not a single person had the courage to step forward.

Seeing his cowardly subordinates, Li River was angry and anxious.

But he knew that there was no point in relying on them at this moment.

So he could only turn to the Great Witch Sacrifice and ask with a hint of expectation, “Great Witch Sacrifice, do you have any good ideas?”

Hearing the words, the always wise Great Witch Sacrifice also fell silent.

His mouth moved as if he wanted to say something but seemed to have some reservations that held him back.

After hesitating for a while and considering the current situation, he gritted his teeth and said, “The Chu people are powerful, and their king is far more terrifying than what the rumors suggest. Our Chilih people’s strength is no longer enough to resist Chu.

So we must find allies.

I will send a message to the Divine Palaces of Pan You and Wu Yu tribes, asking them to send people to support us.

As East Yang people invade, even if it’s just a part of the Chu State, this is a matter of life and death for all of us southwestern Yi People.

In the face of such a situation, not only our Chilih people should bear the burden, but their two tribes must also stand up to help.

I’ll try to deal with the two divine palaces, but the royal families of Dali and Nanzhao will need you to communicate with them, ok?”

The Great Witch Sacrifice looked at Li River, his expression serious.

According to the rules of millions of years, faith belongs to faith, and worldly affairs belong to the secular world.

Their Divine Palace was responsible for maintaining the continuation of worship and the tribe’s lineage.

But the rise and fall of the secular world, the changes of dynasties, are determined by them themselves.

Therefore, in terms of the divine palaces of the two countries, the Great Witch Sacrifice could try to establish contact.

Although they belong to different ethnic groups and worship different gods, there is still some connection between the three great divine palaces of the southwest Yi people.

Under the overall situation of the invasion of countless extinct Dongyang people, it is not difficult to persuade the Great Witch Sacrifices of the other two divine palaces.

After all, these religious personnel, under pure faith, do not have so many dirty and ugly desires.

But in the secular world, it is uncertain whether the two royal families, who were dazzled by the colorful world, could take the overall situation into account.

If the two countries intend to preserve their strength and even want to weaken the Great Changhe Country by using the Easterners and then take advantage of the situation, it is not impossible.

After all, this invasion.

Although Li Chuan and the Great Witch Sacrifice said that it was serious, it was the first active invasion of the Easterners in a thousand years and the extermination war of the southwestern Yi people.

But what cannot be denied is that now only Chu State is invading.

Even now, how much power Chu State has invested is not yet clear to the two of them.

Only six thousand Chu troops are known, and there seems to be only ten or twenty thousand Chu troops in the south and north, totaling up to only one hundred thousand at most.

Whether other forces will be involved in the follow-up remains to be explored.

But one thing is certain.

That is, relying only on the power of Chu State and the current one hundred thousand Chu troops, it is absolutely impossible to annex the entire southwest Yi tribe.

Even whether Da Changhe Country can be wiped out is a questionable matter.

With these basics and this understanding, it will not be so easy to make the other two countries dispatch troops and people to fight alongside the Great Changhe Country against the Chu people.

That the Great Changhe Country faces the danger of extermination does not mean that Nanzhao and Dali have the same fate.

Why should they send troops and expend countless money and grain to help you fight such a battle?

Is it just because we share the same identity as the southwestern Yi people?

We are not from the same ancestors, we do not believe in the same gods, why should I help you like this?

Even if it were the same ancestor, the same faith, but people all live in reality and cannot rely solely on faith.

To live is to eat, to weigh gains and losses, to be calculated.

If everyone really relied solely on gods and beliefs, they would have starved to death already.

Do not underestimate the vigilance of the southwestern Yi people towards the Easterners, but also do not overestimate their vigilance.

Without experiencing the pain in their own skin, it is unrealistic to expect the other two countries to help Da Changhe Country selflessly.

But if these two countries do not help and the Great Changhe Country faces Chu State alone, they have been fighting for years and have little confidence.

Looking at the hopeful eyes of the Great Witch Sacrifice, and thinking about the various gains and losses, Li Chuan knew the difficulty but had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, “Great Witch Sacrifice, rest assured, I will send a message to the king and ask him to send an emissary to Nanzhao and Dali for help. I believe that these two countries will not ignore the overall situation.”

However, though he said so, Li Chuan was not very optimistic in his heart.

Although they were also southwest Yi people, just like Chu State and Ning State who were also Easterners.

Among these Yi people, there have been many feuds and wars between the three countries. There are even more disputes over other interests.

Now, relying on the name of an Easterner invasion, can the other two countries give up these many contradictions and help themselves?

He was afraid that they would stab themselves in the back, take advantage of the situation and rob them.

But now that it has come to this point.

Even though it is difficult, they must do everything for the sake of the Great Changhe Country and their Chilih tribe.

‘I hope that we will shed less blood this time.’

Li Chuan sighed in his heart.

He didn’t expect Nanzhao and Dali to really help selflessly.

The blood that the Great Changhe Country should shed, the land that should be ceded, and the interests that should be given up will certainly not be small.

After this war, it can be foreseen that the Great Changhe Country and the Chilih tribe will fall into a long period of weakness.

Sigh.

Life is hard, great gods, why don’t you bless your descendants?
