Capítulo 1048: Chapter 429 Military Expedition Movement_2

The Liang people's resistance in the Liang army, however, was far more tenacious and fierce than that of the Zhao people.

Even now in its decline, the national power of Liang was still far stronger than that of Zhao State.

This tough nut to crack, Daliang, was far harder than Diqiu of the Eastern Province.

Unlike Zhao State's struggle in isolation, Liang had the covert support of states like Xu State, Xu, Zheng Kingdom, and Jin Country behind it.

Among them, Xu State, as Chu forces steadily advanced and showed signs of breaching Daliang, even took the initiative to come forward and express overt support for Liang.

This support not only meant more financial and material aid but also included direct military assistance.

Thus, the cost Lu Yuan had to pay to take down Daliang would be far greater than what Huang Lin needed to conquer Diqiu.

The 1.7 million men had only managed to take the surrounding prefectures and counties, as well as the outer camps of Daliang.
