Chapter 281 Xiang Yu's Advance
With Xiang Yu's command, the Chu army, now invincible, descended like tigers from the mountains, swiftly seizing key strongholds in the Jiangdong region.
In this process, the naval forces led by Gonggong played a significant role.
A large number of elite naval forces trained by Gonggong marched in a mighty procession toward the other prefectures and cities in the Jiangdong region.
Their warships sliced through the river like swords, heading straight for the heart of the Jiangdong region.
Like a dragon swimming through the waters of Jiangdong, they displayed astonishing combat power in both battles on the river and amphibious landing operations along the shore.
Gonggong, the historically renowned water god.
He enjoys extremely high prestige among Xiang Yu's navy.
He was tall and strong, with a resolute face, and every time he swung his weapon, it seemed as if he could shake the heavens and the earth.
Under his leadership, the Chu navy was invincible and unmatched.
Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng led the main force of the army in close pursuit.
With the gradual pacification of the Jiangdong region, Xiang Yu began to turn his attention to the northern Quezhou.
He knew that in order to unify the entire Dayong Dynasty, he had to take over this important strategic location.
Fan Zeng understood Xiang Yu's ambition and determination, and began to formulate a detailed plan for the conquest.
...
Meanwhile, in Wenzhou, the battleground between the Nine Heavens Army and the Sparrow King's army, the flames of war raged and the air was thick with smoke.
Originally, the King of Sparrows' army held an absolute advantage on this battlefield that belonged to them.
However, as reinforcements from the Nine Heavens Army arrived one after another, the situation began to reverse.
Before the main force of the Nine Heavens Army arrived, Long Junzuo's Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army decisively sent out to severely injure Ye Sui's Sparrow King of the Nine Heavens Army.
Things have become quite difficult now.
With the arrival of reinforcements from the Nine Heavens Army, the Nine Heavens Army's troop strength is no less than that of the combined forces of Wenzhou and one and a half prefectures under the Sparrow King.
After all, the King of Sparrows couldn't possibly send all his troops to Wenzhou to fight against the Nine Heavens Army.
Of course, the Nine Heavens Army alone wouldn't be enough to make the Sparrow King uncomfortable.
What the Sparrow King truly found unacceptable was the weak alliance of vassal kings that the Reed King had rallied on his side.
Su Qin, who now wields considerable influence within the alliance, persuaded Su Qin.
Without saying a word, they turned on each other.
They turned their guns around and helped the Nine Heavens Army, an outsider, to beat the Sparrow King.
This really hit the Mahjong King right in the back.
Although this alliance of feudal princes appears to have been hastily put together.
Most of the princes' armies were indeed a motley crew, with varying combat capabilities, and many were just there to make up the numbers.
However, it cannot be denied that there are also many elite forces hidden among them.
For example, there's the current Prince Jing, Shangguan Lie, who came representing the Jingwang Mansion of Lingzhou.
As the future emperor who will rule the entire Eastern Lands, he naturally has a multitude of geniuses under his command.
Strategists abound, and fierce generals rain down.
These people, under Shangguan Lie's command, formed a powerful force.
This made the Jingwangfu army invincible on the battlefield.
Now, with Shangguan Lie and Su Qin joining forces, the strength of this alliance of vassal kings has greatly increased.
Su Qin was one of the core figures in the alliance.
He not only has outstanding talent in lobbying, but also has unique insights into strategic planning.
They joined forces with Li He, a strategist under Shangguan Lie who was hailed as a brilliant advisor.
Together, we strategize and plan, achieving victory from afar.
Under Su Qin's persuasion, Shangguan Lie has gained control of most of the alliance's military forces, except for Lu Wang, who is behind Su Qin.
Under these circumstances, it can be said that this was all under the coordination of Shangguan Lie, Li He, and the team under Shangguan Lie.

This is an alliance made up of a large motley crew.
They have already begun to qualify to confront the three major vassal kings of the Great Yong Dynasty.
Faced with this changing situation, the Sparrow King, one of the three most powerful vassal kings of the Great Yong Dynasty, felt unprecedented pressure.
The number of people in this alliance of weak vassal kings was not to be underestimated.
Especially with the addition of Shangguan Lie and Su Qin, it was like adding wings to a tiger.
The most critical issue was that the Sparrow King was already caught in a pincer movement between Shangguan Lie's alliance of vassal kings and the Nine Heavens Army.
Meanwhile, fires were also breaking out in Quezhou, right behind his base of operations.
The Sparrow King's Mansion originally controlled a portion of the Jiangdong region of Dayong.
During this period, the Chu army, which suddenly rose to prominence in the Jiangdong region, launched an unstoppable offensive, swallowing up a large part of the Jiangdong region.
And this Chu army was not satisfied; after annexing most of the southern part of Quezhou, they...
They also coveted Quezhou to the north, harboring a strong desire to march north in one fell swoop.
Originally, under the astute command of Long Junzuo, the Sparrow King's army took advantage of the speed and agility of the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army, as well as King Wen's defection in battle.
This surprise attack created a huge advantage in the Wenzhou region, plunging Ye Sui's Nine Heavens Army into an unprecedented predicament.
Even Longmen Pass was in imminent danger, as if the scales of victory had tipped in favor of the Sparrow King's army.
However, because of the appearance of Ye Hua, Ye Suizi.
He replaced Ye Sui as the commander-in-chief of the Nine Heavens Army's Daoist soldiers - Jade Kirin.
His appearance not only disrupted the strategic deployment of the Sparrow King's army, but also revitalized the Nine Heavens Army's fighting power.
The final outcome of this battle became even more unpredictable due to Ye Hua's appearance.
This caused the advantages that Long Junzuo and the Sparrow King Army had established in Wenzhou to vanish completely.
Especially before the main force of the Nine Heavens Army arrived, Long Junzuo was dealt a heavy blow by the Jade Kirin Army led by Ye Hua, which manifested the Jade Kirin Dharma Form.
Long Junzuo's troops were caught off guard by this sudden and fierce attack.
Faced with a head-on attack, they had no choice but to retreat temporarily.
Thus, they lost their best opportunity to capture Longmen Pass.
Subsequently, Pei Yuanqing led the elite detachment that Su Ye had left on the border between Cangzhou and Yunzhou to Longmen Pass in time.
The arrival of this detachment undoubtedly injects new strength into Longmen.
Pei Yuanqing and Ye Hua, two war gods, fight side by side.
Their presence greatly boosted morale.
Under Ye Hua's command, the Jade Kirin Army became a solid barrier for Longmen Pass.
In addition, the guarding force also includes two great generals, Pei Xingyan and Li Jinlong.
And Pei Xingjian, a god-like commander, whose strategic planning and command capabilities greatly enhanced the overall strength of Longmen Pass.
With all these factors combined, Longmen Pass's overall strength is now in no way inferior to that of Long Junzuo, who leads an army of tens of thousands.
Despite being outnumbered, Longmen Pass was still no match for the Sparrow King's army on the other side.
However, after Pei Yuanqing's detachment merged with the original garrison at Longmen Pass, they were able to assemble tens of thousands of troops.
In addition, Longmen Pass itself has the advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack, as well as the blessing of two war gods and many divine generals.
This made Longmen Pass's defensive capabilities reach an unprecedented level during this period.
In addition, Longmen Pass was originally on the defensive, and it also had two war gods.
For a time, the two sides fought fiercely at Longmen Pass, with each side gaining and losing ground.
Although the Sparrow King's army was powerful, it was unable to break through the defenses of Longmen Pass.
Meanwhile, the Longmen Pass side, with its tenacious defense and timely counterattacks, inflicted heavy losses on the Mahjong King's army.
