Che Xiang also hurriedly advised, "Your Majesty, our capital city is not as tall and sturdy as that of the Han Dynasty. Once it is besieged, it will be extremely dangerous. I believe that while sending envoys, we should also send a large army to follow them. If anything goes wrong, we should attack immediately and then defeat the Xiongnu army one by one."

Although the two stopped arguing, they still insisted on their respective views and refused to back down.

Even Che Qian, sitting on the throne, couldn't help but start to consider the two men's opinions.

Finally, Che Qian looked at the Right Chancellor Che Dan and said, "I think the Right Chancellor is right. The Xiongnu's intentions are unclear, and it is not advisable to attack rashly. We should send envoys to strengthen the city's defenses!"

"Your Majesty is wise!!"

Seeing that his suggestion had been adopted, Che Dan praised it as brilliant while glancing smugly at Che Xiang.

"With a foolish ruler above and treacherous officials below, Cheshi is doomed!"

Seeing this, Che Xiang could only shake his head helplessly, sighed inwardly, and said nothing more.

After everyone dispersed, Che Xiang returned home and locked himself in his study. He sat blankly behind his desk, the scene of Cheshi's destruction constantly replaying in his mind.

"No, I can't go down with them!"

Che Xiang's eyes narrowed, and he immediately took out paper and pen and began to write.

The first line of Che Xiang's writing reads: "Your humble servant Che Xiang respectfully bows to the envoy of the Great Han. Now the Xiongnu have invaded, and my king is foolish and does not heed loyal advice. I wish to raise an army and offer Cheshi to the Great Han..."

In the letter, Che Xiang expressed his intention to join the Han Dynasty and finally wrote down the time and method of launching the uprising.

In his view, Cheshi was doomed, but based on past historical lessons, it was far better for Cheshi to fall into the hands of the Han Dynasty than to fall into the hands of the Xiongnu.

At least the Han Dynasty upheld the dignity of a great power and Confucian morality, and would not easily execute officials and nobles who surrendered...
