章 56: Chapter 56 The Times Have Changed

Wu Sangui hurriedly ordered the mobilization of troops and the dispatch of generals.

Xu Xuan was the core figure of Chang Country, without the approval of the Heavenly Master, there was no recognition from the vast number of believers, and the divine right of the king couldn't continue, Xu Yong's usurpation wouldn't have been so smooth.

As long as Xu Xuan was captured, it would be tantamount to seizing the lifeline of Chang Country, and then Xu Yong would have to negotiate terms obediently.

Three thousand Wu forces were deployed.

Due to the urgency, mobilizing a large army took too long, if they ran towards Xiangyang, or if the Xiangyang army came to their aid, it would be disastrous.

Therefore, it was necessary to move what could be moved first, and to capture this group of people before anything else.

These three thousand soldiers were all elite, each wearing leather armor, skilled in archery and horsemanship, dealing with just eight hundred people was a breeze.
