The preparations for Chu State's Southern Expedition were in full swing.
This expedition was expected to mobilize sixty thousand forbidden troops and one hundred thousand vassal state troops.
Such a large number of troops would consume over one hundred thousand stones of grain per month. Including civilian workers for grain transportation, the total would be several hundred thousand stones.
It was impossible to conceal such a large-scale transport of supplies and personnel.
Therefore, when these clues were exposed and collected by those who were interested, the surrounding forces immediately drew a conclusion.
The conclusion was that after the battle of Hanzhong, Chu State did not intend to stop, but planned to start a new war.
Moreover, this war was not small in scale, involving the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of people, almost equivalent to a national war.
