Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 707: Defeating Jin and Dominating

In the Xiangshui camp, Chen Bing walked while looking at the soldiers in the camp.

Each soldier was extremely strong and full of energy - the existence of the demon race certainly had some impact on the people of Chu, but the demon beasts and exotic plants that emerged because of the existence of the demon race were endless.

The vast resources and the occasional harassment from the monsters have forged the explosive tempers and physiques of the people of Chu.

Under the powerful military force, the immortals and gods who had escorted Chen Bing all the way stopped outside the camp and did not dare to get any closer to the camp - otherwise, under the pressure of the huge military force, his magic power and his physical skills would be dispersed by the war drums in the army.

Chen Bing looked at those soldiers, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.

At this moment, he had an unprecedented profound understanding of the saying "seeing is believing".

No wonder all the princes in the Central Plains were so wary when talking about the State of Chu.

In today's era of great strife, every powerful vassal state has a strong army as its trump card - the soldiers within it are all one in ten thousand.

Such a strong army is the real reliance of various princes. They can move freely on the battlefield and have few rivals.

Like Qi's martial arts.

Even the immortal sects would be destroyed in front of this powerful army.

The reason why Jin was able to replace Qi and become the overlord was that Jin's powerful army defeated Qi's martial arts army on the frontal battlefield, crippling the army so much that it has not recovered to this day.

After the attack of Qi was put down, the strongest army of Jin was transferred to the rear of Jin, to guard the south of Xiang River and the 20 cities facing Chu, and they were never transferred away again.

Even now, the power of Jin State has declined, and other princes are ready to move for the position of overlord. They have had conflicts with Jin State more than once around Jin State. However, Jin State does not win every time in such conflicts, or the victory is not so easy.

Under such circumstances, many people in Jin State could not understand why Li Kui's army turned a blind eye to the situation in Jin State and continued to guard the south of the Xiang River without stepping into the Central Plains to maintain Jin State's hegemony.

Some people even doubted whether Jin still had control over this powerful army.

The same is true for Chen Bing.

Now, after personally crossing the Xiang River and witnessing the passage of the Chu army, Chen Bing suddenly understood why Li Kui's army was stationed on the south side of the Xiang River and could not move.

The Chu army is too strong!

This physique, this energy and blood...

If he were the commander of Li Kui's army, facing such a powerful Chu army every day, he would certainly not dare to withdraw easily and participate in the chaos in the Central Plains.

"Jin and Chu have had no disputes or diplomatic relations for many years. Why did the envoy come this time?"

"Could it be that the princes are eyeing hegemony, and Jin is powerless, so they come to our Chu for help?" Xiang Ping sat high on the commander's seat, looking at Chen Bing, whose temperament was incompatible with his own, and asked jokingly.

The other generals in the tent also laughed when they heard this.

The State of Jin was located upstream of the State of Chu, and the two countries had a long-standing feud - no one would miss the opportunity to play a joke on the State of Jin.

As for the etiquette of receiving envoys...what etiquette?
I, the Chu State, am a barbarian!

"General, you are joking." Chen Bing remained calm and did not care about the offense from the generals at all.

"The mighty Jin has remained stationary at the Xiang River until now."

"If Li Kui does not move, who among the princes in the world dares to claim the hegemony of Jin?"

The army of Li Kui.

As soon as these words were spoken, a heavy pressure spread in the tent, and the generals in the tent fell silent.

Only the Li Kui army, which was in the upper reaches, knew how much pressure it had put on the State of Chu over the years.

In particular, the previous Xiang River God was biased towards the Jin State because of the Xiang Army.

"It seems that all the generals are aware of Li Kui's strength." Looking at the silence in the tent, Chen Bing spoke slowly.

"I am not here on a mission to the State of Jin - I am here to bring you a secret message to help you generals achieve an unprecedented feat."

"Unprecedented achievement?" All the generals in the tent raised their eyebrows.

As a general, there is no one who is unwilling to make achievements.

"I see that the soldiers under your command are as brave as those of the strongest army."

“But for many years, the people of Chu have been suppressed by Li Kui in Xiangyin.”

"If we can defeat Li Kui's army, would that be considered an unprecedented achievement?"

"So that all the generals know that the ruler and ministers of Jin have already intended to mobilize the army of Li Kui to return to the Central Plains to suppress the princes of various countries."

"If the generals led their troops to force their way across the Xiang River when Li Kui's army left the city..."

After hearing this, all the generals in the tent could not help but become agitated, and Xiang Ping also made the same move, raised his hand and pressed it down, and all the generals in the tent quieted down in an instant.

"You, a minister of Jin, are using Li Kui as bait to lure Chu into action."

"Who would dare to believe what you say?" Xiang Ping said with a smile.

The king and his ministers of Chu had anticipated early on that if Jin wanted to lure Chu into the game, it would definitely offer a bait that Chu would find hard to refuse - but he never expected that the bait offered by Jin would be the Li Kui army.

However, even though he knew that Li Kui's army was just a bait to lure the State of Chu into the game, Xiang Ping was still filled with emotion.

The army of Li Kui.

Twenty Cities of Xiangyang.

Whether it is breaking up Li Kui's army or capturing the twenty cities of Xiangyang, it can bring about earth-shaking changes in the situation of the Chu State.

But after a moment, Xiang Ping suppressed the surge in his heart.

Compared to what he wanted and what the State of Chu wanted, this was far from enough!

"However, if we can destroy Li Kui's army in one battle, then our chances of bringing down the State of Jin will be even greater." Xiang Ping deliberately pretended to be calm and maintained due vigilance towards Chen Bing.

"I naturally have my reasons." Chen Bing said, with an extremely sad look on his face.

"General, you know that my family has been killed by the people of Jin - the Chen family of Jin, and I am the only one left."

This is why Chen Bing was confident that he could gain the trust of the State of Chu.

Dead spy!

He tempted the king and his ministers of Chu with his unprecedented achievements, and he himself was also attracted by this "unprecedented achievement".

For this, he paid the price of his entire clan - and the excuse for the extermination of the Chen clan was that they were eyeing the royal power.

"The Jin Dynasty's royal power was shaken, but they did not reflect on their own mistakes. They just thought that there were clans in the country that coveted the royal power. My Chen family was harmed by this."

"This is why I came to Chu."

"I only ask for the help of Chu to avenge my Chen family's blood feud."

The more Chen Bing spoke, the more painful he became.

Although the Chen clan was destroyed because of a vicious plot in which he himself was involved, no matter what, those who died were his family members, so how could he not feel pain?

……

While Xiang Ping was considering the matter of sending troops, Li Ding, the commander of the Likui Army, was also thinking on the other side of the Xiang River. He had received an order from the King of Jin.

"Give up these 20 cities in Xiangyang, use them as battlefields, and lure Chu into the game, and use them to weaken the power of other princes."

This is not an easy task.

Even if they had to "give up" part of these twenty cities, they would still need to fight a battle with the Chu army and then lose narrowly - at the same time, they would have to maintain the overall strength of Quan Kui's army.

In this way, the State of Jin could summon the princes, form an alliance and send troops as the State of Chu was difficult to contend with.

In this way, when the coalition forces of the princes arrived here, the State of Jin was able to suppress the coalition forces of the princes and force them to fight against the State of Chu on the battlefield.

"So, we need to give Chu fighter planes, but we can't give them real Chu fighter planes."

"You want the Chu army to win, but you can't let me lose."

"It's difficult."

But it’s difficult, but we have to do it!

This is not just a matter of their Likui army, but the hegemony of the entire Jin State is related to this.

For this situation, Shang Qing Chen Bing did not hesitate to sacrifice his own clan as the price - if Li Kui's army did not cooperate, then the entire Li Kui army would be excluded by the Jin Dynasty and then dismantled...

……

While the immortal gods of Chu were still confronting the demon gods in the Cloud Cave Heaven, the war between Jin and Chu broke out "as expected".

Both sides had made adequate preparations for this battle and had considered various situations thoroughly - the Chu army did indeed step into the trap set up with twenty cities.

But the rulers and ministers of Jin State did not anticipate one thing.

That is the determination of the Chu State in this battle and the strength that the Chu State invested in this battle.

So, just as the State of Jin prepared their "trap", Yun Zhongjun appeared silently in the Xiangshui camp.

Then overnight, the Xiang River froze over.

The Chu army stationed on the Xiang River all crossed the river.

Faced with this all-out attack from the entire Chu State, the powerful army of Jin State was also reduced to dust.

Not only Li Kui's army, but also the other Jin troops that came to this battlefield were all destroyed in this battle.

The speed at which the Chu army attacked was even as fast as the speed at which news spread.

While other princes were still waiting for the result of the battle between Jin and Chu, when the king and ministers of Jin received the result of the battle, the army of Chu had already pursued the enemy northward and advanced all the way to the capital of Jin - Yi City, and surrounded Yi City.

What does earth-shattering mean?
This is called earth-shattering!

Especially those immortals and gods outside the human world, as well as the Jade Emperor, and those Guixu Daluo within the territory of Chu!
These Daluo who came from Guixu, in addition to the Dao Fruit of Guixu, also inherited the memories of Guixu - therefore, they also knew that it was possible for the State of Chu to replace the State of Jin as the overlord.

For this reason, many Daluo, including the Jade Emperor, were planning to wrest hegemony from the State of Chu.

Especially among the Five Immortals, after the emergence of an immortal who connects the human way and the immortal way, these Daluo became even more eager to place their feet on the earth and take over the power that originated from humanity.

The dispute between the states of Jin and Chu also attracted the attention of many gods and immortals.

Especially after the State of Chu made it clear that it wanted to subdue the evil spirit in the country.

But no one could have imagined that the situation between Jin and Chu would change like this.

Using the demon clan as a cover, everyone's attention was focused on the Cloud Cave Heaven, waiting for the "result" between the State of Chu and those demon gods.

Under such circumstances, everyone naturally becomes negligent about the situation in the human world.

This is the gap between immortals and mortals - for immortals, this is just an oversight.

But in the human world...

This negligence of the immortal god is enough to change the situation completely.

That's it.

One month - the immortals were just taking a nap.

Those immortals who had noticed the Chu State's movements were still struggling over whether or not to pass on the news to other immortals...

However, within this one month, the Chu army not only destroyed the Jin army, but also reached the capital of Jin in one breath.

The hegemony of the Chu State will be achieved in this instant.

Without any immortal or god officially entering the scene, the State of Chu had to build its own hegemony.

How can this be?

How is this possible?

However, the power of Chu State has already been established. Where should we start if we want to hinder its hegemony?

Or, what should we do if we want to take advantage of the Chu State's momentum at this time?

And what attitude should the King of Chu take towards the new overlord of the world? Although Chu has not yet held a meeting with the princes, almost everyone has confirmed that Chu is already the new overlord of the world.

However, these immortals and gods were not aware of the bet between Yun Zhongjun, the demon clan and the State of Chu. Therefore, in their view, this battle in the State of Chu was fought by the King of Chu with unparalleled courage and gambling nature.

When they see an opportunity for battle, they act recklessly and recklessly, without considering the consequences of failure or the so-called ancestral temples.

Such decisiveness, such gambling nature, such a hegemon... Who doesn't feel thrilling when mentioning him?
As for the immortal sects within the Chu State - at this moment, these immortal sects had no idea of ​​being deceived, but felt "proud of it", and even believed that they had a share in the hegemony of the Chu State.

If they had not confronted the demon tribe, preventing them from wreaking havoc on the State of Chu, the king and his ministers would not have been able to focus on launching this thundering attack.

Of course, apart from that sense of "satisfaction", these immortal sects admire Yun Zhongjun even more.

When he was besieged by the demon gods and his own life was in danger, this God of the Clouds still had the energy and courage to freeze the surface of the Xiang River...

As for the possibility that Yun Zhongjun and the demon god were conspiring together, these immortal sects were unwilling to think about it, let alone dare to think about it - because if this possibility could come true, it would be too cruel for these immortal sects.

In the State of Chu, among the four parties, the demon god, the court, Yun Zhongjun, and the immortal sect, if three of them have a unique tacit understanding, and the fourth party is excluded, what a terrible result that would be?

If the State of Chu declined, this would naturally be an excuse for the immortal sects to settle accounts - but now, the State of Chu has established its hegemony in one fell swoop, and this is the source of the immortal sects' fear.

Your future is uncertain!
While he was thinking, countless immortal Taiyi went to Yun Zhongjun's cave.

——As for the demons and gods that surrounded the cave heaven, when the State of Chu established its hegemony and part of the army returned to the country, those demons and gods were already afraid of the military power of the State of Chu and retreated from the cave heaven in the clouds.

When it retreated, the shadow of the phoenix manifested by the demon god Zaoge also left a new legend in the State of Chu.

Then, it was the King of Chu, Xiong Xin, who bestowed the title on the demon clan.

The demon god Zaoge transformed into a deity under the command of Yunzhongjun.

Wu Ling was also granted the title of Wushan Goddess.

The two demon gods chose to accept the King of Chu's edict - however, whether this acceptance meant that the demons chose to cooperate with the State of Chu and become more closely integrated with humanity, or whether the demons were subdued by the State of Chu, was unknown to outsiders.

It was at this time that someone on earth found Ao Bing.
