For seven consecutive days, the Chu Army led by Ye Shikai advanced rapidly, covering a hundred miles a day and swiftly penetrating Ba Shu's heartland.
"Ba Shu is renowned as the Heavenly Mansion, and indeed it's well-deserved." Ye Shikai, admiring Ba Shu's scenery, couldn't help but sigh. Compared to the war-torn Central Plains, this place is much more tranquil, though the court's heavy taxes impose a great burden on the people, at least there is no war here.
"Indeed, Ba Shu is rich in resources. Our army conquering this place and using it as a rear base means we won't have to worry about supplies." Man Cang was also excited, surprised that he could lead troops to capture this place himself. Just last year he was merely a small convict soldier; had the war not arrived, he wouldn't know where he might be.
"Yes, hopefully the world can soon find peace."
