After Xiang Yu returned to the camp, Wu Qi had already learned the whole story.

It has to be said that after experiencing a life-and-death situation, the latter can clearly feel the growth of the former.

Otherwise, given the other party's enthusiasm when he was just starting out, he would definitely not miss the opportunity to kill the Qin Emperor.

But, is it really that easy to kill an emperor?

"I've already understood this matter. You did the right thing. Ying Yuan couldn't have suddenly left the city to fight for no reason. He must have made sufficient preparations."

Wu Qi patted Xiang Yu on the shoulder and approved of his decision to withdraw his troops.

However, the victory that the King of Chu requested might be a distant dream.

He could only tell Tai'an City the truth about the situation here.

The soldiers at Hangu Pass were no longer surprised by the enemy's retreat.

Because their Emperor has created so many miracles.

Right now, the soldiers of the three armies are extremely excited.

The original plan of the Chu army was to use the verbal attack to weaken the morale of the Qin army.

The result was counterproductive.

Not only did the morale of the Qin army not weaken, but it actually soared because Ying Yuan went out of the city to fight and forced the Chu army to retreat.

When this matter reached Mi Xiong's ears, as expected, he became furious again.

As the emperor of Chu, he is actually under a lot of pressure now.

If he fails to destroy the Qin State and the other side takes advantage of the opportunity to expand, then he will be the eternal sinner of the Chu State.

"Misfortunes never come singly. I ordered Wu Qi to win a battle, but he ordered Xiang Yu to lead tens of thousands of troops to Hangu Pass to challenge them. He returned empty-handed, greatly boosting the enemy's morale."

Mi Xiong said to Huang Xie.

No wonder he was angry.

The main reason was that if the State of Jin knew about that, they would probably have to reconsider whether to sever diplomatic ties with the State of Chu.

Huang Xie said, "According to Wu Qi's established strategy, we should launch a full-scale attack on Hangu Pass in March."

Mi Xiong sneered, "Even if it's March, is he sure he can take Hangu Pass?"

Huang Xie responded, "According to Wu Qi's plan, if he saw that attacking Hangu Pass was fruitless, he would take a detour and march directly into the heart of the Qin army."

"The Qin army is not stupid. If Wu Qi really did this, there is a high possibility that the Qin army would cooperate with him from both inside and outside, leading to the destruction of the army."

Mi Xiong frowned deeply.

He has also read military books.

Over the years, he has been thinking about conquering the Qin State all the time.

Therefore, he had a thorough understanding of the terrain of Qin.

According to his idea, no matter which route to attack Qin State, it would not be safer than capturing Hangu Pass.

Because Qin State only has Hangu Pass, which is the easiest to defend and the most difficult to attack, followed by Liyang and Xianyang.

A few years ago, when Xiang Yan captured Hangu Pass, it took only a few months to occupy half of the northwestern part of Qin State.

What kind of speed is this?

Ultimately, it was because the Qin State had little to rely on except the dangerous terrain of Hangu Pass.

Many wise men in the world agree that the success and failure of the Qin State were both due to Hangu Pass.

Due to the dangerous terrain, it was difficult for the Qin State to move eastward and it could only stay in a corner.

However, due to the dangerous terrain, the State of Chu attacked the State of Qin for many years without any good results.

Huang Xie bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task at hand is to stabilize the State of Jin."

Mi Xiong nodded and said bluntly: "Just as you said, I will grant Jin a large amount of Qin land."

Huang Xie continued, "In addition to this, we must also give Jin a large amount of gold, silver and treasures."

"And give money?"

Mi Xiong was a little unhappy.

Over the years, the State of Chu has needed money in so many places.

A part of it had been given to the State of Jin before.

You still want to give it now?

The Chu State doesn’t have much money!

Huang Xie said, "The vast tracts of land promised to Qin are a matter of the future and cannot be seen now.

We must offer a bargaining chip that can rekindle the interest of Jin State."

Mi Xiong understood what he meant.

Jin is not a country that likes to eat cakes. If you don't give them real benefits, it will be difficult for them to be tempted.

Huang Xie saw that Mi Xiong was hesitant, so he spoke again: "Your Majesty, we in the State of Chu have no way out now."

Yes, there is really no way out.

They staked everything they had on it.

If the Qin State had returned empty-handed like Xiang Yu, what it would have gained would have been more than just a small loss of morale.

From then on, the State of Chu would no longer be able to suppress the State of Qin.

There is even a possibility that they will be suppressed and defeated by the Qin State.

After a moment, Mi Xiong took a deep breath, looked at Huang Xie, and said earnestly:

"Regarding the alliance with Jin, you can handle it. I'm a little tired, so I'll go get some rest first."

After he left this place, he did not return to his own bedroom, but on a whim, he came to the palace where his sister lived.

Although Mi Yue had married into the Qin State, Mi Xiong remained in the place where she lived.

Looking at the familiar furnishings in the palace, but without the lively Mi Yue of the past, she couldn't help feeling a little melancholy, and murmured:

"Sister, I wonder if you are doing well in Qin. Just hold on for a while longer. Soon, your brother will be able to take you back to your hometown.

I allowed you to marry into the Qin State, and then I attacked the Qin State. Please do not resent me, I have no other choice. I cannot just stand by and watch the Great Qin State surpass the Great Chu State in strength.

In this battle, my brother will definitely destroy the Qin State, and then you and I will be reunited as brother and sister."
