Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 655 Destruction of the Country
After leaving the Snow Kingdom, Xu Ming went directly to the Martial Kingdom.

In the battles between the various kingdoms, the Wu Kingdom has already gained the upper hand.

Many dynasties were already planning to surrender to the Wu Kingdom.

Because the strength of the Wu Kingdom is simply too exaggerated.

Initially, when the Wu Kingdom was about to wage war against them, these countries thought that the Wu Kingdom was overestimating its own strength.

Wu Guo even went a little crazy.

They knew that the Wu Kingdom was very powerful at that time.

However, today, it is extremely presumptuous of the Wu Kingdom to challenge the other nine human dynasties with just this one country.

This is simply ridiculous.

Over the years, all we've experienced has been large-scale annexations or internal political turmoil within our own countries.

However, there has never been a so-called unified empire.

The ten dynasties of the human race were not something they could easily control.

In fact, at the very beginning, when these dynasties learned about what had happened in the Wu Kingdom, they still wanted to cause trouble for it.

They were originally thinking about how to start another war with the Wu Kingdom.

This is not primarily the will of those countries, but rather the will of those sects.

Many sects felt that the laws governing the world in the Martial Kingdom were seriously affecting their development.

This was a matter of life and death for them.

Therefore, what they wanted to do was to jointly attack the Wu Kingdom.

At the very least, we must destroy the Wu Kingdom.

If the Wu Kingdom can be destroyed, then this law of heaven and earth will also disappear directly, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Everything Xiao Mochi did will be reduced to nothing; nothing will remain.

At this time, even some monarchs of dynasties...

Even though deep down they didn't really want to go to war with the Wu Kingdom.

They even wanted to extend this law of the Wu Kingdom to their own country.

Because no matter what, when a country has the opportunity to control a sect.

You can't imagine how happy they must be.

No one likes their royal family being controlled by those sects.

There really wasn't a single person.

The problem is that they eventually discovered that in order to have the laws of the Wu Kingdom, they had to at least join the Wu Kingdom.

If it weren't for becoming a vassal state of the Wu Kingdom, a dependent state of the Wu Kingdom.

Otherwise, it would be directly annexed by the Wu Kingdom.

But if you're just a small country, then there's nothing to say.

If we were just a small country, becoming a vassal state of Wu wouldn't be a big problem.

But the problem is, we are one of the ten great dynasties of the human race.

If one were to become a vassal state of the Wu Kingdom, one of the ten great dynasties of the human race.

This is something that is absolutely unacceptable to them.

At this very moment, those old fogies from the sects were stirring up trouble, inciting other dynasties of the human race to attack the Wu Kingdom.

It is under such circumstances.

Those rulers naturally had no other choice.

Their only option was to participate in this great war against the Wu Kingdom.

Moreover, it is because they are determined to annex us.

We cannot become their vassal state.

Therefore, this great war was also something that the monarchs of these countries considered necessary.

They still didn't want to become the rulers of a fallen kingdom.

They themselves did not want to become vassals of other dynasties.

But the further they went, the more they realized something was wrong.

There are just too many things that are not right.

Let's not even talk about how the morale of the Wu Kingdom was exaggerated to an unbearable degree.

Secondly, the national fortune of the Wu Kingdom is simply too powerful.

During these years of fighting.

Everywhere the Wu Kingdom was located was a place of great harvest.

The Wu Kingdom had no concern about food shortages.

Moreover, whenever the Wu Kingdom conquers a city, it will use the war to sustain itself.

After all, once a city is captured, it will definitely have some food supplies.

In addition, most of the places they attacked were important granaries of the nine great dynasties of the human race.

Therefore, the Wu Kingdom's logistical supplies were very abundant.

Therefore, Wu Guo's strategic goals are very clear.

The most important thing is food and supplies.

Furthermore, the fighting power of the Wu Kingdom is extremely terrifying.

The fighting power of the Wu Kingdom was the most terrifying they had ever seen.

Actually, they had fought against the Wu Kingdom before.

However, after the laws of heaven and earth changed.

At this point, the fighting strength of the Wu Kingdom was completely different.

At this point, the fighting power of the Wu Kingdom had reached an extremely absurd level.

Every cultivator was utterly unafraid of death, and every warrior's only thought was to charge forward.

Furthermore, the Wu Kingdom also possessed the aura of national fortune, making its advance unstoppable.

They had what was supposed to be their best chance to end this war.

This would prevent the Wu Kingdom from ever expanding again.

But that great battle was ruined by one man.

This person is Xu Ming.

In that great battle, the Wei Kingdom was about to win.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ming arrived.

Xu Ming arrived, and that was that.

What was even more unexpected was that Xu Ming became a cultivator at the Jade Purity Realm.

Moreover, the quality of his Jade Purity Realm is extremely high.

It's even more powerful than the Immortal Realm.

Under those circumstances, it was naturally impossible for anyone else to conquer the capital of the Wu Kingdom.

When they were unable to conquer the capital of the Wu Kingdom, they faced a truly terrifying situation.

Because no matter what, the things they face are definitely not simple.

So it was because they couldn't hold back that one time.

The morale of the Wu Kingdom was greatly boosted.

The people on the front lines were worried about the safety of the capital, fearing that their home base might be stolen by someone else.

But once things are over on the front lines, there's no need to think about these things anymore.

Even after the Wu Kingdom's great victory, the Wu Kingdom's reputation was greatly enhanced.

Basically, no one dared to underestimate the Wu Kingdom anymore.

This incident was also a very heavy blow to the other party.

Few countries could withstand the onslaught of the Wu Kingdom.

If no nation stands up to defend it, it would be tantamount to a complete collapse. Not to mention that the Wu Kingdom's strategy towards other human dynasties was primarily one of appeasement.

No soldier is allowed to disturb the people of Wu Kingdom.

No soldier is allowed to tarnish the local reputation.

Otherwise, they will be punished with the most severe penalties.

So under such circumstances.

The local people were actually very happy with the soldiers of the Wu Kingdom.

The local people are only concerned with how to survive; they don't think about anything else.

Since you've allowed me to live, and even allowed me to live as before...

If it's even possible for me to live a better life than before, then I'll naturally follow you.

After all, no matter what, the people of the Central Plains dynasties were fundamentally all part of the same country.

There was once a unified Qin state.

It's just that the unified Qin state was destroyed.

It eventually split into so many countries
The world has been divided for thousands of years.

Therefore, even if the country were to return to its former unified state, it would be of little concern to many ordinary people.

So it is precisely for this reason.

Many people now have a reason in their hearts.

Because they can fundamentally say that they come from the same country, so even if they surrender to another country, they are not really considered to have betrayed it.

However, the affairs of the world, after a long period of division, tend to unite; after a long period of unity, tend to divide.

This time, it might just be another unified dynasty.

Under such psychological influence, Wu Guo was able to overcome all obstacles and achieve great success.

Moreover, the Wu Kingdom also recruited many ambitious individuals from other dynasties.

If it were just those generals who surrendered, and they were only cowardly and afraid of death, then the Wu Kingdom wouldn't actually want them.

These ambitious individuals had long harbored resentment towards those cultivators.

In their hearts, they had long wanted to eliminate those sects.

Why are those cultivators allowed to treat ordinary people as less than human?
Why should those sects treat secular dynasties as their sustenance? Can they draw upon them at will? But do nothing about it?
If strength is everything in this world, then I will use my superior strength to crush these sects.

It was under this kind of thinking that...

Many ambitious individuals joined the Wu Kingdom, bringing their own followers with them.

They were not loyal to the emperor of their own country, nor were they loyal to Emperor Wu of the Wu Kingdom.

They are loyal to a belief in their hearts.

This belief is to establish a system that prevents monks from arbitrarily demanding anything from secular dynasties.

A world where cultivators cannot arbitrarily kill mortals without being held accountable.

Generally speaking, such idealists will make significant contributions to their goals.

Unleash your strongest power and unleash all your potential.

Therefore, Emperor Wu didn't need to say anything more to them.

They didn't even need to break up their formation.

Emperor Wu could then send his entire army out to attack.

Moreover, their team's combat power is indeed extremely exaggerated.

Under such circumstances, the Wu Kingdom became increasingly courageous in battle.

After the Wu Kingdom annexed one dynasty after another, only three states remained: Chu, Qi, and Wei.

These three countries were indeed the three most powerful among the ten dynasties of the human race.

However, even if these three countries were to band together now, it would be largely futile.

Their morale has reached its lowest point.

The fall of each city was like a devastating blow to them.

They had no way to stop the Wu Kingdom's advance.

If there is no way to stop them, then their town can only be completely crushed by the Wu Kingdom, without any excuse.

Yes, there is absolutely no excuse.

They were left with only three choices: escape, surrender, or death.

Now, the Wu Kingdom has divided its army into three routes.

They crushed the states of Qi, Wei, and Chu respectively.

At this point, half of the territory of these three countries had already fallen.

The three armies of the Wu Kingdom have already advanced straight to the enemy's capital and surrounded them.

However, they did not immediately launch an attack on the city. In the past, they might have had to consider their own food and supplies.

You also need to think about what to do if the other party can't hold on to you.
But there's absolutely no need for that now.

To achieve that, one needs unwavering faith and unity between the military and the people.

But now it's different; everyone knows that the people who surrendered to the Wu Kingdom are living very well.

At least the Wu Kingdom did not commit any massacres or oppression of its people.

But what about other countries now?
They can only be trapped here.

If this goes on for too long, the people in the city will definitely riot.

For these common people, they didn't care much about who their emperor was.

They just wanted to live their lives peacefully.

That's it.

As for these three countries, the ministers in the imperial court basically shared similar thoughts with the people of Wu Kingdom.

Some ministers felt that once their emperor was gone, that was the end of it.

Because no matter what, to govern such a large area, he couldn't possibly kill all of his people.

That would definitely require leaving most of the officials to govern.

If they're going to transfer me away, then no matter what, I'm still considered an official.

Even if I take another ten thousand steps back, I'm sure I won't die no matter what.

But what's the point of constantly fawning over one's own emperor?
In the end, won't I still be doomed?

Therefore, Wu Guo and his people had no intention of launching a full-scale attack.

They believed that the longer the pressure was maintained, the greater the mental stress would be inflicted in these three cities.

Moreover, this is especially true when food is gradually depleted and there is no way to replenish it, and everyone begins to go hungry.

They believed that those people inside would eventually make a choice.

Another point is that they are waiting for their emperor to arrive.

His Majesty has entered the final stage of these three wars of national annihilation.

His Majesty will definitely come to such a place.

Once they arrive, they can put immense psychological pressure on the other party.

At that time, it is very likely that the arrival of His Majesty will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

After all, their own emperor has already established all his prestige.

No one dared to underestimate their emperor anymore.

No one will think that their emperor is just a little girl who doesn't know anything anymore.

Moreover, His Majesty's arrival brought a perfect end to their story.

At this time, Wu Yanhan had already gone to the State of Wei.

The first country Wu Yanhan wanted to destroy was the Wei Kingdom.

After the fall of Wei, Wu Yanhan will go to Chu and Qi.

She intends to defeat these three countries one by one.
