Chapter 986
The information Zhang Liang brought shocked Su Fan.
He didn't expect such a big change in the Jiuzhou suddenly.
"The Heavenly Court is going to launch a large-scale attack."
Su Fan muttered to himself.
Through the contents on the jade slip, Su Fan only then knew that in these short less than a hundred years, so many things had happened in the Great Qin of the Jiuzhou.
Great Qin had experienced great chaos.
The rebels seemed to have received an epic enhancement; whether it was in the former Chu State territory, the remnants of the six states were becoming increasingly active, especially these remnants of the six states, who seemed to have received a great improvement.
On the Xiang clan's side, generals appeared, becoming stronger and stronger; in a short period of time, more than a dozen martial generals with Golden Immortal combat power appeared.
And they weren't immortals or gods themselves, just humans.
More than a dozen Golden Immortal-level combat powers—what a huge improvement that was for the Xiang clan's army.
Even though Wang Ben had a million-strong army in his hands, and Wang Ben himself had broken through to Golden Immortal because of his position as the Great Qin military's Upper General, facing so many experts,
he also began to waver.
For a period of time, the Xiang clan's army even broke through Wang Ben's defense line, and it was thanks to the Great Qin military's quick actions.
Seeing Wang Ben's crisis, they immediately sent his father, Wang Jian, with an army of five hundred thousand, only then barely blocking the Xiang clan army's charge.
The addition of more than a dozen Golden Immortals allowed these rebels to be more composed when deploying troops.
After all, ordinary armies couldn't block the charge of Golden Immortal martial generals.
Even though the Great Qin army was very powerful, without a military formation composed of a hundred thousand troops, they couldn't block the charge of a Golden Immortal at all.
Previously, Wang Ben's million-strong army was almost scattered; that was also those dozen or so Golden Immortals, led by the Xiang clan's most powerful martial general, Xiang Yu, charging the formation together.
Xiang Yu, this most outstanding disciple of the Xiang clan, had terrifying martial strength; it is said that this person cultivated the Ancient Martial Dao.
His combat power was much stronger than that of a Golden Immortal, even comparable to a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
And the other party was only about one or two hundred years old now.
Even Wang Ben became increasingly wary of this person.
Previously, Wang Ben could suppress the rebel army led by Xiang Yu because he relied on the powerful Great Qin army and his rich experience in marching and fighting.
And the rebel army was just a group of peasant soldiers at the beginning; even if the Xiang clan had quite a few elite private soldiers, that number was just a fraction compared to the Great Qin elites.
So at the beginning, Wang Ben could rely on these to firmly suppress the rebels in the south, letting them only be active in two or three commanderies.
But now, even with the five hundred thousand elite troops brought by Wang Jian, they couldn't stop the rebels anymore.
Although the Xiang clan's rebels still couldn't break through the Nanjun defense line,
in other places, the rebels were still involved, and they were no longer just in two or three commanderies.
The rebels' territory had expanded again, involving at least three or four commanderies; their range of activity was almost one-fifth of the former Chu State's territory.
Although the south had always been sparsely populated, there were capable people around the rebels, and the remnants of the six states were not all trash.
On the contrary, the education of noble disciples made them naturally much better than those from humble backgrounds, with a higher success rate.
Even if there were no formidable figures, governing a place was still more than enough.
Learning from the Great Qin government, the south had a lot of land; although there were many swamps and forests, for those transcendent and holy immortals, they couldn't say they could move stars or change the world, but they could still move mountains and fill seas.
Over these years, the Xiang clan's army had been charging the Great Qin's defense line at the front, while at the back, the nobles of the six states were constantly governing the local areas.
Money, grain, and people—these two points were the winning magic weapons for Great Qin to unify the world back then; now the nobles of the six states were also learning.
Although the rebel army of the six states' remnants was far inferior to Great Qin in terms of war potential,
the remnants of the six states had the support of the Heavenly Court behind them.
The Heavenly Court provided the remnants of the six states with a steady stream of resources, preventing them from being wiped out by Great Qin, and this time, the dozen or so Golden Immortal-level human combat powers that suddenly emerged in the Xiang clan's army were also the work of the Heavenly Court.
Star generals reincarnated; the Heavenly Court used the origin of the Heavenly Court's stars to reincarnate into the Human Race, just like the Red Emperor reincarnated into the Human Race arranged before.
It's just that compared to the Red Emperor's reincarnation, the star generals' reincarnation cost much less.
But in a short time, reincarnating dozens of star generals into the Human Race and then quickly restoring their strength—this cost was also very large.
It was not even less than the previous reincarnation of the Red Emperor.
This decisiveness was indeed very terrifying.
And now, because of the Heavenly Court's decisiveness, a great change had occurred in the Jiuzhou, and the south of Great Qin was already in a terrible mess.
About one-fifth of the former Chu State territory fell into the hands of the Xiang clan and the remnants of the six states; in addition, that Liu Bang, the reincarnation of the Red Emperor, was discovered early because of Su Fan.
Then he was chased by Great Qin for a time, later running to the southernmost Nanyue land, which was almost considered a barren land of Great Qin.
However, because of the Heavenly Court's support, after more than a hundred years, that side had also been developed; with the help of the immortals and gods' land, the means were endless, so this Nanyue land now also had popularity.
And this time, the Heavenly Court reincarnated star generals, and under Liu Bang, the Red Emperor Lord, more than a dozen Golden Immortals also appeared.
Plus developing for so many years, the strength under this Red Emperor was also very powerful.
So he also began to attack, attacking toward the southeast.
And relying on those Golden Immortal martial generals, it could be said to be invincible, suddenly taking down six commanderies.
Although among these six commanderies, only one was considered a relatively core southeast territory, it still made the southeast of Great Qin tremble.
The alliance between the two major rebel armies, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, suddenly occupied about one-twentieth of Great Qin's territory.
It looked like very little, at most the size of the former Han State.
In terms of strength, however, it far exceeded the former Han State; the army alone, the two major rebel armies, had a full four or five million.
Although most were peasant soldiers, after so many years, the rebel army also had a portion of elites.
At least in Xiang Yu's hands, there were hundreds of thousands of troops that could fight head-on with Great Qin elites.
It can be said that the rebel army's strength was increasing very quickly.
The star generals of the two sides had about thirty Golden Immortal martial generals; this was a very powerful force.
After all, a Golden Immortal, placed in any force, was an extremely powerful force.
Now placed on the battlefield, it was very terrifying.
Although the Great Qin army, relying on military family divine abilities, could produce Golden Immortal power, and even exceeding Golden Immortal was not impossible.
However, thirty-some Golden Immortals—just relying on Wang Jian and his son, I'm afraid they would still be inadequate.
And Great Qin, now, actually had no actions.
This was also what made Su Fan somewhat surprised; it had reached this point, and Great Qin still had no actions.
