This time, the news of the loss of Chu State's Inborn Grandmaster was just a fuse to trigger this event.
Even without Jihui's departure, there would have been various other reasons to promote this matter in Ning Country in the future.
However, while Ning Country was expanding its military, Lu Yuan had no time to focus on that.
Now Chu State is busy preparing for the Hanzhong War, so even if they are aware of the movements in Ning Country, they have no extra energy to interfere.
On the contrary.
Although Ning Country's current military expansion is certainly not good news for Chu State, it may not be a bad thing for them at the moment.
Expansion of the army is not something that can be done with a snap of the fingers.
It requires enough weapons and armor, recruiting enough qualified soldiers, training these new recruits, and coordinating the work among various units that have added new soldiers.
