To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 749: Chapter 329: Unparalleled Famous General_2n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With the current territory of Su Country, as long as it is developed, it can accommodate four to five million people and support an army of two to three hundred thousand.

As long as Su Country can maintain its current territory and maintain stability within the country, it can accumulate the aforementioned population and army in sixty to seventy years.

By then, who can say that Su Country is not a great power?

As for Su Xuange’s life span, living another sixty to seventy years is not an issue, and there is even a great chance of living another ten to twenty years.

The potential of the two prefectures and the sufficient lifespan of the Inborn Grandmasters are the decisive factors for outsiders to judge Su Country’s power.

Other factors are just icing on the cake and secondary.

In this immortal world, even though it has reached the End of Dharma era, the gap between ordinary people and top martial artists and cultivators is still desperate.

An Inborn martial artist can determine the rise and fall of a country and the fate of millions of people.

For Chu State to dominate, the five prefectures, eight million people, and five hundred thousand strong armies are important, but not that important.

The six domestic Inborn Grandmasters and the three Inborn Grandmasters who can be mobilized from vassal countries form a total of nine inborn figures, which are the foundation of Chu State’s hegemony.

This is also the qualification for outsiders to see Chu State dominating.

Without these, even if you have tens of millions of people and a million-strong army, you are just a larger version of Nanhai Country.

Similarly.

To destroy a country and weaken a country, simply killing the opponent’s soldiers and population is just scratching the surface.

In this world where Inborn Grandmasters can live up to 150 years old, which is equivalent to the long lifespan of seven or eight generations of ordinary people, the simple loss of soldiers and population is really not too significant.

For a great country, what if they lose a million-strong army at once?

They can simply endure it for thirty to fifty years, and then they can pull up the same scale or even more soldiers and horses.

As long as the inheritance of the country’s Inborn Grandmasters is ensured, and a new one is replenished as soon as one is lost, they can maintain their hegemonic status.

To truly hurt a country, one must, like Lu Yuan, kill the opponent’s Inborn Grandmaster directly, weaken the opponent’s top combat power, and this is the real shake of the foundation.

So during the War of Conquerors back then, the original Great Changhe Kingdom, despite losing four hundred thousand troops, still had the confidence to compete with Chu State.

But in the end, after losing one Great Witch Sacrifice, even though they still had more than a hundred thousand troops left, they no longer dared to resist, and surrendered the moment Chu soldiers arrived.

Therefore, the original Nanzhao Country, ambitious and with a hundred thousand soldiers, wanted to seize Xichuan and achieve hegemony.

For this, even though Jianchuan Country was captured by Huang Xuan and their own homeland was ravaged by Kunhai and Chilixiang kingdoms in turn, they still gritted their teeth and persisted.

The other side gambled on their Big Emperor Son’s ability to conquer Xichuan.

But in the end, the Big Emperor Son was killed by Lu Yuan, and Nanzhao Country instantly wilted, no longer daring to take the initiative to send troops.

Even when facing the invasion of Kunhai and Chilixiang, two small countries, they did not dare to counterattack too much, only focusing on defense, and this was because they lost a Grandmaster, their national strength was greatly damaged, their roots were shaken, and they became afraid.

So in the Northern Expedition organized by Pre-Yue back then, during the early days of the war, Zhou People lost more than a hundred thousand soldiers, but they were still confident in the Jianghan campaign and even prepared to persevere for a long time.

But as Lu Yuan first killed Gui Lianyun and then Zhang Chanyi, Zhou People’s original confidence was instantly broken, and Zhou Country’s stalemate in Jianghan quickly collapsed, losing momentum.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan launched a surprise attack on Hanzhong and moved south to Xichuan, and Zhou Country couldn’t react at all, as if they were dazed.

This was because Lu Yuan had killed two Innate fighters from Zhou Country and eliminated one-quarter of their top-level combat power, causing great damage to their vitality.

It must be known that in the turbulent days of Pre-Yue, the world was in constant upheaval, and Zhou and Liang countries invaded one after another, causing a momentary reversal of fortune.

But even in such difficult situations, throughout the entire Hongdao era, Pre-Yue had only lost one Wuyang Marquis Li Gui due to the assassination by Lan Cai’er and Li Xiong in the early days of turmoil.

Pre-Yue lost only one Inborn Grandmaster.

After losing this Inborn Grandmaster, Pre-Yue soon added Wucheng Marquis Shangguan Ming, Martial Proclamation Marquis Yang Jing, and the number of Inborn Grandmasters increased instead of decreasing.

Latter, people like Lu Yuan, Jihui, Yan Wangqiu, Su Xuange, and Qiao Kangquan were included, and the number of Inborn Grandmasters in Yue Country reached as many as eleven, which was extremely prosperous.

At that time, there were eight Inborn Grandmasters used for the Northern Expedition.

Zhou Country, on the other hand, only had three Inborn Grandmasters left after losing two of its innates.

With three against eight, there was almost a three-fold difference, and the enemy camp also had tough men like Wuan Marquis Bai Mengyang and Lu Yuan, who had shown the appearance of a famous general by killing two Innate fighters in a row.

Under that situation, even with the ten guts borrowed from Xiangyang Prefecture, Zhou Country’s Inborn Grandmasters would not dare to fight hard against Pre-Yue.

This is also why Lu Yuan did not encounter much interference from Zhou Country during his surprise attack on Hanzhong and recovery of Xichuan.

It was not that they didn’t want to, but they simply couldn’t.

Finally, when He Basheng’s army had a hard time going south, they met Lu Yuan in Hanzhong, and this most famous general of Zhou Country was shocked and retreated by Lu Yuan’s dual cultivation of immortal and martial arts.

Lu Yuan realized that the ability to kill two Innates was not based on luck, as rumors said, but had truly gained exploits.
