587: Chapter 587 Zhao Fusu also plans to conquer a city

Therefore, Dinesh Thakur immediately gave the order to proceed according to the proposal of Pramod Joshi.

Refugees were incorporated, and the defeated troops were broken up and distributed among the garrison.

Large quantities of grain were transported from outside the city into the city.

The entire city of Amritsar instantly began to operate in a tense yet orderly manner, and the tense atmosphere of war quietly permeated the city.

"He is truly worthy of being called the Overlord of Western Chu!"

Zhao Fusu could not help but shake his head and sigh, his eyes filled with admiration for Xiang Yu's divine valor, yet also tinged with a complex emotion.

He had carefully placed informants within Xiang Yu's army, so whenever there was even the slightest movement on Xiang Yu's side, the news would find its way back to him by any means necessary.

And so, upon hearing of Xiang Yu's astonishing military achievements, Zhao Fusu was filled with emotion.

"I told him to keep a low profile, but he simply cannot be low-key at all!"

Zhao Fusu smiled bitterly, feeling quite helpless about Xiang Yu's style of operation.

General Wang Jian, standing nearby, was equally shocked. He widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and muttered to himself, "Who would have thought that there is such a divine warrior in this world, capable of achieving the feat of being the first to scale the walls, slay the enemy general, and open the city gates all by himself! Such divine valor is truly unheard of!"

The First Emperor's expression was also exceptionally grave; Xiang Yu's divine valor had indeed shocked him greatly.

With his hands behind his back, he paced slowly and said with great emotion, "It is a pity that such a divine warrior is not one of our people from Great Qin. If he were to be used by our Great Qin, he would surely be able to accomplish great things."

"His Majesty the First Emperor."

General Wang Jian said with a smile, his eyes revealing the unique confidence of a Great Qin general.

"No matter how valiant Xiang Yu is, he is still made of flesh and blood. How could he possibly withstand the simultaneous firing of our Great Qin's thousands of cannons! The might of our Great Qin's firearm is unstoppable in this world."

"Indeed!"

The First Emperor nodded in agreement, his expression carrying a touch of pride, "Why would a divine warrior like Xiang Yu dare not cause trouble within the borders of Great Qin? It is precisely because he fears Great Qin's firearm! This is where our Great Qin's confidence lies."

Compared to Xiang Yu's aggressiveness in the south, the operating style of Zhao Fusu and his group was much gentler.

After their army entered the Terra region, with their force of over ten thousand, they easily defeated the rural forces that dared to resist them and quickly took control of the rural areas.

A large number of Kshatriyas fled, leaving only the common people at the bottom of the social hierarchy.

Zhao Fusu did not allow his army to disturb the people, and there were no major conflicts between their Pioneer Group and the local natives.

Because the Pioneer Group needed a large amount of supplies, they would use gold, silver, and jewelry to trade with the local natives.

The local natives' hostility toward them greatly diminished, and driven by self-interest, they were also willing to engage with them.

After a large number of Kshatriyas fled to Terra City, they informed the governor of Terra City of the news that the enemy was attacking.

This enraged the governor of Terra City, who decided to mobilize a large army to surround and annihilate them.

Zhao Fusu discussed countermeasures with General Wang Jian and the First Emperor.

Zhao Fusu frowned, his face grave as he spoke first, "Xiang Liang and the others have captured the city of Derosia in the south. Such a commotion must have already attracted the attention of Pataliputra."

Pataliputra is the capital of the Mauryan Empire.

General Wang Jian nodded slightly and responded with a serious expression, "Indeed, Pataliputra will certainly not sit idly by; they will definitely take action."

Zhao Fusu continued, "Once Pataliputra mobilizes a large army to besiege Xiang Liang, they will inevitably face immense pressure. Although Xiang Liang's army has some strength, it will likely be difficult for them to withstand the Mauryan Empire's army when it is deployed in full force."

The First Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "If Xiang Liang and his forces are dealt with by the Mauryan Empire, then the Mauryan Empire will inevitably gather all its strength to deal with us. At that time, we will face an even more severe situation."

Zhao Fusu nodded heavily and said with a firm tone, "Therefore, it is time for us to capture a city to share some of the pressure for them. On one hand, this will alleviate the crisis on Xiang Liang's side, and on the other, it will also strengthen our own power."
