Ying Yuan transmigrated to another world and became the Emperor of Great Qin, originally thinking that a life of bliss was about to begin. However, the entire imperial court, from civil to military...
Chapter 517: As long as I am in Chu,
Wu Qi slowly came to the court hall.
This gave hope to some people who originally disagreed with going against Qin.
Everyone's eyes, including Mi Sheng, Li Yuan and others, were focused on Wu Qi.
From the moment Wu Qi stepped into the hall, he was staring into Xiang Yu's eyes.
"According to the Grand Marshal, if I can defeat the Qin army, I can be crowned king?"
Xiang Yu asked seriously.
Wu Qi frowned and said, "Is it worth it to bet the fate of an entire country on your victory in this battle?"
"On the other hand, even if you can defeat Qin in Yan territory, what if Qin raises a large army to attack our Great Chu afterwards?"
As soon as the words fell, before Xiang Yu responded, the Yan envoy Fang Xuanling could not wait to say:
"At that time, our Yan State will naturally not sit idly by."
Wu Qi sneered, "As far as I know, Qi and Qin have already occupied half of your Yan State."
"Even if you can use the help of the Chu State to recover your homeland, I'm afraid you will only be able to recuperate for a short period of time."
"How can you help our Great Chu defend against the enemy?"
Fang Xuanling said: "Yan will not abandon any of its allies, no matter how difficult it is."
Wu Qi continued, "Even if you can help Great Chu, how many troops can you, Yan State, send?"
"Will you then seize the opportunity to blackmail the Chu State? You can't even guarantee these things, and yet you still want the Chu State to send troops?"
"Don't you think this is a bit far-fetched?"
From the perspective of the country, what Wu Qi said was absolutely correct.
Fang Xuanling really wanted to say, please put your heart at ease.
However, he didn't have the confidence to say that.
The State of Yan suffered too much loss in the war with the State of Qin.
Even if Qin withdraws its troops.
It will take at least ten years to recover your livelihood.
But ten years is too long, and the world has changed so much that no one can tell what will happen by then?
After a pause, Fang Xuanling could only say: "How can you be sure that Qin will retaliate against Chu afterwards?"
Wu Qi laughed and said, "Who in the world is not aware of Qin's ambitions?"
"It's no exaggeration to say they are vindictive..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiang Yu interrupted him and said, "The Grand Marshal is always thinking about the country..."
"But has Da Sima ever thought that if we, the Great Chu, don't seize the opportunity, we may not even have the chance to survive in a remote corner."
"Because, once the Qin State destroys Yan, it will not let Great Chu go unpunished in order to advance eastward."
"We no longer have a chance..."
If they fight hard this time and severely damage the Qin State, then the Chu State will have no worries for the next ten years.
If Qin destroyed Yan, the next step would definitely be to destroy Chu.
By then, it will dominate all nations and no one will be able to deal with it.
In other words, consider it from the perspective of the State of Chu.
What Xiang Yu and Wu Qi said was not wrong.
"Xiang Yu...you are risking everything and will only harm the State of Chu."
"I advise you that this is definitely not the best time to compete with the Qin Dynasty for national destiny."
Wu Qi narrowed his eyes.
Fang Xuanling wanted to speak again.
He glared back at her fiercely, "You are a minister of Yan State, you have no right to speak here."
Xiang Yu refused to give in. "He is a guest and envoy of our Chu State."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely solemn.
It was even like a huge rock falling.
The pressure was so great that everyone couldn't breathe.
Then, Wu Qi looked at Li Yuan, and then at the Chu Emperor Mi Sheng behind him.
Finally, he sighed deeply and said:
"You will harm the State of Chu."
"Just like after Chunshen Jun's death, you couldn't pick up the pieces of the Chu State."
"Chu..."
"It's over..."
Wu Qi slowly closed his eyes.
He turned around, with his back to everyone, and walked out of the hall step by step.
Although he persisted, he could have delayed Xiang Yu's dispatch of troops.
However, if the outcome cannot be changed, it is better to send troops early than late.
This battle was the best outcome Wu Qi had anticipated.
That is, the State of Chu will not suffer any casualties.
When everyone looked at his lonely figure, they were all a little at a loss.
Many people were unwilling to compete with the Qin State.
Including Emperor Mi Sheng of Chu.
After all, compared to the Emperor of Yan, Emperor Qin Ying Yuan was his relative.
Who can be trusted, a stranger or a relative?
But he has no say in the matter.
He was afraid of being deposed by Li Yuan and Xiang Yu.
The battle here was finalized.
Wu Qi made his final effort and he was worthy of being a minister of the State of Chu.
After he returns home.
He took off his official uniform and changed into casual clothes.
Then he spoke to his confidants:
"Pack up your things, it's time for us to go."
Walk?
The henchman frowned, "Sir, where are we going?"
Wu Qi glanced at the horizon and sighed.
"It doesn't matter where we go. Anyway, this place will soon become a place of trouble."
He has been in the court for many years, how could he not see clearly?
Huang Xie's death was closely related to Li Yuan.
In other words, Li Yuan wanted to see himself and the Xiang family fight to the death.
But even if we know, this possibility exists.
But Wu Qi had no way to break it.
If what Li Yuan thought were to happen, the politics of Chu State would be in danger of collapse.
By then, there would be no need for Qin to come, as Chu would be finished on its own.
At present, Wu Qi, who is still a minister of the State of Chu, can only leave the State of Chu.
