This is the best way for a regular army to deal with an Inborn Grandmaster’s sudden attack.

But the problem is,

do those small barbarian states have this ability?

Their total army isn’t more than a few thousand, at most ten or twenty thousand, and a large number of them are temporarily conscripted militia with limited strength and courage.

It’s simply unrealistic to expect them to fearlessly charge at an Inborn Grandmaster who is like a divine demon.

Besides, it’s a question whether these small countries can gather several top experts to hold back the Inborn Grandmasters.

With this huge gap in strength, the small barbarian states in the Heichi region are basically unable to stop the Song army led by Xie Ning.

They simply can’t stop the Song army.

“So now it’s interesting.”

Lu Yuan placed the two intelligence reports on Su Country and Song Country side by side, took a rough map of the southwestern barbarians from the side plate, and his gaze wandered on it with a smile on his lips: “There are strong enemies in the south and east, and you are now under attack. What choice will you make?

Will you rescue the southern front first and deal with the Song army that pierces your heart, wreaking havoc without encountering any resistance?

Or will you save the struggling Tongshui Country first, which can’t hold on for two months?

Or perhaps you’ll rescue both sides simultaneously, launching separate counterattacks.

Really looking forward to it.”

After examining the map, Lu Yuan closed the two intelligence reports with delight in his heart.

He knew,

that now Dali Country no longer poses a threat to himself.

Facing the invasions of Su and Song Country, with a total of 150,000 soldiers and two Inborn experts,

even Dali Country would have to exert its full strength to cope.

And Dali, distracted by the conflicts in the east and south, naturally couldn’t spare any effort to interfere with Da Changhe Country’s matters and help them resist the invasion of Chu State.

One of the three major southwestern barbarian states is now badly hit, another is fully occupied, and half of its strength is gone.

Naturally, the pressure on Lu Yuan is greatly reduced.

However, after the joy, when he saw the last intelligence report, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but frown slightly.

This is the intelligence from Xichuan Country.

Like Su and Song Country, Xichuan also launched an early attack, but not long before, just after the Spring Festival, they launched their attack on the second day of the first lunar month.

However, the gains made by Jihui’s Southern Expedition were not as great as the smooth opening of the latter two countries.

The barbarian state adjacent to Xichuan is Nanzhao Country. Specifically bordering it is the Jianchuan Country, a major northern country under the Nanzhao tributary system.

Jianchuan Country is very powerful, even stronger than Wuman Country, occupying roughly the area of four prefectures, with a population of 800,000 and an army of 200,000.

Under Jianchuan Country, there are three small countries: Moxie, Shunman, and Shiman.

Among them, Shunman and Shiman are located in the northwest of Jianchuan Country, adjacent to the plateau people in the north. Moxie Country is located in the north of Jianchuan Country, adjacent to Xichuan Country.

In this southern expedition of Xichuan Country, the first target is Moxie Country.

Moxie Country is a small country with a population of only 30,000 and an army of just 1,000. When the army of Xichuan arrived, they had no time to react and were instantly destroyed.

The first step of destroying a small country was smooth.

However, when Jihui led his 20,000 soldiers further south to attack Chengji city, the northern stronghold of Jianchuan Country, they encountered fierce resistance from Jianchuan Country.

Because Jianchuan Country is adjacent to the Hui Chuan Country controlled by Da Changhe Country, they were well aware of the news of foreign invasions in the southwestern barbarian region.

Even when Lu Yuan’s troops arrived at Huichuan, it caused great panic in Jianchuan Country.

Because if King Chu broke through the northern Lu River of Da Changhe, then along the Huichuan Country all the way to the west, it would only take less than 400 miles to reach Jianchuan’s territory.

And this mere 400 miles, if traveled by light infantry, would only take two days.

The battle has reached their doorstep, and rumors say the invincible Chu army is coming.

You ask if Jianchuan is scared?

Of course, they are.

So when King Chu reached Hui Chuan country, even though he was blocked on the east bank of the Lu River, Jianchuan country was still terrified.

In order to avoid being caught off guard like Hui Chuan country, with no chance to fight back,

as early as October last year, Jianchuan Country started gathering its troops, maintaining a force of 50,000 troops in the capital region for a long time. Meanwhile, in various parts of the country, they maintained a semi-mobilized state, ready to call on another 100,000 troops if necessary.

Facing such a vigilant, actively preparing country, the outcome of Jihui’s attack from the north was predictable.

Almost as soon as he had destroyed Moxie Country, the news was immediately relayed back to Jianchuan Capital.

Hearing that their northern neighbor had launched an attack, led by Xichuan’s ruler, an Inborn Grandmaster, Jianchuan Country was naturally alarmed.

Instinctively, they thought of the previous Chu army’s story.

Thus, the highly edgy Jianchuan Country immediately sent out the 50,000 troops from the capital to resist the Xichuan Country.

By the time these forces arrived at Chengji City, Jihui had just finished dealing with Moxie Country and arrived with his troops.

The Jianchuan troops sent to the north were well-trained regular forces, not weak in strength. Among the generals, there were also top experts.
