The Chu Kingdom, the Chu King's Palace.

After Yun Qingshu arrived in the State of Chu, he was highly valued by the King of Chu, who adopted all of Yun Qingshu's suggestions.

They reinforced the city walls of various counties in the Chu state and began to mass-produce defensive weapons.

The Mohist mechanics can not only attack cities, but also defend them. Yun Qingshu discovered through contact that although Xiang Yan's ability to command troops was not as good as Li Mu's, he had extremely high prestige in the Chu state.

His three sons were all capable of commanding troops, but what surprised Yun Qingshu the most was Xiang Yan's grandson, Xiang Ji!

Xiang Ji was only four years old, but he was born with double pupils and immense strength!

This boy was the second person Yun Qingshu had ever met who was envied by the heavens, yet his physical condition and intelligence were no different from those of ordinary people.

Those who are envied by Heaven generally do not live past the age of eight and have low intelligence.

But Xiang Ji is different. He is only four years old, but he is very smart and has memorized Sun Tzu's Art of War perfectly.

Therefore, Yun Qingshu directly took Xiang Ji into the Mo family, making him a disciple of the Mo family, and had Dao Nu teach him martial arts, hoping that he could become a famous general in the future!

"Sir, there are rumors circulating that the King of Qin will launch a war against the State of Yan after a year of mourning. What is your opinion on this?" the King of Chu asked.

Yun Qingshu also learned of this news, and now it has spread throughout the four kingdoms.

"Your Majesty, based on my understanding of Lu Li, this must be a feint by him!"

"This man is adept at using schemes and does not follow the usual path. Many people thought that Qin was going to attack Wei, but he turned around and attacked Zhao instead."

Lu Li's name has become a nightmare for monarchs of various countries, and many rulers and prime ministers have been ruined by him.

Especially the three states of Qi, Yan, and Zhao.

"Does the sir mean that Qin will not attack Yan?" the King of Chu asked in surprise.

Yun Qingshu nodded and walked to the map, saying, "Your Majesty, please take a look. Qin Guo Ben's troops have not yet withdrawn from Wei territory."

"After Qin destroyed Han and Zhao, it formed a pincer movement against Wei. Qin had to deal with Wei, a worry on its rear, before it could expand eastward!"

Yun Qingshu's analysis was spot on; this time, he accurately guessed Lu Li's thoughts.

His intention was to launch a surprise attack on Wei under the pretext of attacking Yan.

The King of Chu nodded, agreeing with Yun Qingshu's assessment.

"Then, in your opinion, what should we do?"

After summarizing the lessons learned from their defeat in Zhao, Yun Qingshu paused for a few seconds and then said, "Your Majesty, if Qin really attacks Wei, we should join forces with Yan and Qi to attack Qin directly!"

"But what if Qin really attacks Yan?"

Yun Qingshu smiled and said, "That makes things even easier. We will join forces with Wei and Qi to directly attack the former territory of Han, cut off its food and supplies, and make its army in Zhao isolated!"

The King of Chu's eyes lit up, and he immediately said happily, "Sir, your plan is brilliant! Having you is like a parched land receiving sweet rain!"

Yun Qingshu felt a pang of sorrow. If the King of Zhao had listened to him back then, the State of Zhao would not have been destroyed so quickly, and might even have been able to defeat the State of Qin.

But it's too late to say anything now. The Zhao state has been destroyed. The remaining four states hope to unite and resist the powerful Qin together!

"Your Majesty flatters me!"

The King of Chu waved his hand and said, "Have General Xiang begin mobilizing troops and supplies, and send the necessary provisions to the border in preparation for the great battle a year from now!"

The King of Chu's series of actions were far more astute than the King of Zhao's; this was the kind of king Yun Qingshu should serve!

......

In the Qin Kingdom, late at night, a person dressed in black appeared in Lu Li's villa.

"Your Majesty? What brings you here?" Lu Li asked in surprise.

It's the middle of the night, and Ying Zheng has come. I wonder what brings him here.

"Sir, I'm tossing and turning all night and can't sleep. I'd like to discuss with you the matter of whether to destroy Yan or Wei!"

Lu Li nodded, and then sat down on the ground with Ying Zheng.

"I have already spread the word that Qin will launch a war against Yan in a year. This is just a pretext. At that time, we will have Wang Jian and his son Wang Ben attack Wei from both sides," Lu Li said.

At this moment, Ying Zheng shook his head, as if he had a different opinion.

"We have already used this tactic once, and other countries must already be on guard."

"If we attack Wei, what will happen if Chu, Qi, and Yan join forces to attack Qin?" Ying Zheng expressed his concerns.

Lu Li slowly said, "Your Majesty, now that Han and Zhao have been destroyed, the remaining four states are no match for Qin."

"Even if the three kingdoms unite to attack Qin, all we need to do is send General Meng Wu with 300,000 troops to defend against the enemy."

The combined strength of the three kingdoms was no match for that of Qin alone. Moreover, Meng Wu was a seasoned general who did not seek merit but only to hold the line. He believed that once Wang Jian and his son Wang Ben conquered Wei, the three kingdoms would naturally retreat.

But Ying Zheng still shook his head and said, "Sir, since other countries can guess our intentions, can we do the opposite?"

"We'll attack the Yan Kingdom! Once we take Yan, we'll completely sever the connection between the three kingdoms on both the east and west sides!"

"Only the state of Wei remains isolated and helpless in the west, while Qi and Chu in the east can only look on with envy."

Lu Li did not rush to refute Ying Zheng's words; he was also considering whether this move would work.

Then Lu Li said, "Has Your Majesty considered that if we attack Yan, Wei, Chu, and Qi will directly attack the former Han state, cutting off our supply lines? Then the troops stationed in Zhao will become isolated!"

The general currently stationed in Zhao is Wang Jian, while the general stationed in Han is Li Xin.
