Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Ming slightly raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more.

He cleared his throat and said to the feudal lords below the steps, "You only know about Hangu Pass, but you don't know that there are many ways to enter Guanzhong. You can easily go around to the north..."

"Go around to the north? How do we do that?"

"Yes! The north is all the territory of the Hu people. I've never heard of a way to go to Qin from the north."

"Yeah! Yeah! I've never heard of it either..."

......

The feudal lords started discussing it again.

Jiang Ming looked at these fools and smiled faintly: "Gentlemen! You seem to have forgotten that I have many Hu people under my command. They know how to bypass Qin from the north. As long as you listen to me and cooperate with my command, defeating Qin will not be difficult."

"Is it really possible to go around to the north?" the King of Cai asked.

"Of course!"

Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "What you need to consider is not how to fight, but how to recruit soldiers and gather supplies! I demand that every country send two-thirds of its troops to march north with me! We will bypass Qin!"

Upon hearing this number, all the rulers of the various vassal states were stunned.

"Two-thirds...wouldn't that leave our country without any soldiers? What if a peasant uprising breaks out? We won't even have the troops to suppress it!" said the King of Xing.

"yes!"

The ruler of Lu echoed, "What if... Qi attacks me, and I don't even have the troops to defend myself? Wouldn't that just be waiting for my country to perish?"

The other feudal lords also chimed in, saying that withdrawing two-thirds of their troops was an exaggeration! It was simply unrealistic...

Jiang Ming glanced at the King of Xing, who had been the first to oppose him, and gave a slight sneer: "King of Xing, if you're afraid of a popular uprising, then you're not afraid of me, are you? Guards! Seize him!"

At Jiang Ming's command, more than a dozen fully armed warriors rushed in and tied up the King of Xing!
