For the remaining few days, Ying Yuan did not participate in the military and political affairs of Hangu Pass.
Instead, he completely let himself go, spending the entire day lazily basking in the sun in the City Lord's Mansion.
Because he felt that his life was bleak.
Whenever I think of a plan with full confidence, this thing will turn out to be contrary to my wishes and develop in a direction that is contrary to my wishes.
Once or twice is okay.
If it were like this every time, who could stand it?
However, in the eyes of Jia Xu and others, what Ying Yuan is doing now has a deeper meaning.
On top of Hangu Pass.
Jia Xu and others are discussing matters together at this moment.
After several days of recuperation, Lu Bu's injuries have healed.
At this time, Yu Jin suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, you haven't left the palace for several days. If this continues, will there be any problems?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "You should be thankful that Your Majesty has not left the City Lord's Mansion. It's a rare few days of leisure. Please let Your Majesty have a good rest."
Yu Jin didn't quite understand and frowned, saying, "Should I be thankful? Please speak frankly, sir."
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said, "Since the battle at Yixiantian Gorge ended, the enemy and us have entered a period of stalemate.
During this period, whether the enemy attacks or our army attacks, there will be a risk of heavy casualties.
After all, the enemy was already wary of our army, and their morale seemed to have hit rock bottom.
Your Majesty must have thought of this, so he predicted that there would be no war in the near future.
Since there is no fighting going on, why did Your Majesty come to the top of the city? Wouldn't it be better to let Your Majesty take this time to recuperate your body?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Jin and others suddenly realized.
So this is the reason why Your Majesty has not asked about what happened in Hangu Pass recently.
Jia Xu continued, "Given the current situation, there is only one option for our army, and that is to wait for the army to arrive.
At this moment, our army is waiting, and the enemy is also waiting."
"What is the enemy waiting for?" Pan Feng asked puzzledly.
Jia Xu patiently explained, "From the very beginning, the Chu army had no intention of launching a full-scale attack on the Qin Empire and starting a national war with us.
Otherwise, they would not have sent only 600,000 troops. Now, since the State of Jin joined the war, the offensive of the Chu army has become more fierce.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Chu State will probably send reinforcements to Wu Qi and take this opportunity to conspire with the Jin State to completely divide our country."
"Then...then what should our army do?"
Pan Feng said in surprise.
Jia Xu said, “Your Majesty, with a disadvantage of tens of thousands of men, was able to defeat Wu Qi, who had an advantage of hundreds of thousands of troops, to the point where he dared not take another step.
Even if they have more troops, what can they do? Moreover, our Great Qin also has over 500,000 troops still resting.
This battle has just begun. All we have to do now is wait for the right moment for a decisive battle."
"Thank you for your guidance, sir."
Pan Feng bowed deeply.
Yu Jin had his own plans.
He wanted to follow Ying Yuan and learn military strategies.
Well... learn from Ying Yuan, he is very brave.
...
The main tent of the Chu army.
Wu Qi summoned all the generals and said in a deep voice, "I have just sent people to Hangu Pass to see if they can exchange silver or other items for General Yanglao's body."
He wanted to send Yang Youji's body back to the country safely for a proper burial.
Afterwards, he told the generals another matter, "Your Majesty's order has arrived. Your Majesty wants to continue to increase troops and attack Qin.
This war is no longer a battle for a city or a place, but a war between nations. We will have many tough battles to fight in the future."
Yuan Zhang, a famous general of the Chu State, asked, "May I ask, Marshal, how many additional troops will the court send this time?"
Wu Qi smiled and said, "Including our current army, there are at least 1.5 million troops.
This time, Your Majesty is determined to destroy the Qin State."
An army of one and a half million was a full-scale mobilization of the Chu State.
"This is a gamble on the fate of our Great Chu nation!"
A Chu army officer said worriedly.
Wu Qi said bluntly: "If we want to conquer the Qin State, we must deploy more troops.
Otherwise, what we have to do is to remain invincible and preserve the strength of our Great Chu.
On this basis, we will try to expand the results of the war. In short, this time, we must obtain tangible benefits from the Qin State."
...
The northern border of Qin State.
On the top of Youzhou City.
Zhu Di personally led an army of 150,000 to this place.
The leader of the army responsible for attacking Youzhou City was Li Mu.
Youzhou is where Zhu Di made his fortune.
His achievements today are inextricably linked to Youzhou.
The Yanshan guards, whom he was proud of, were mostly recruited from Youzhou.
When Zhu Di led his army to Xianyang, the general responsible for defending Youzhou was Chen Heng.
The counselor who assisted him in defending the city was Yao Guangxiao.
At present, Chen Heng was telling Zhu Di about the current situation in Youyun, "We in Youzhou are doing fine. Li Mu attacked us several times but returned without success.
However, the situation is not looking good for General Zhang Yu, who is in charge of defending Yunzhou."
Hearing this, the latter frowned and asked, "Yunzhou was captured by the enemy?"
Chen Heng shook his head and said, "Not yet, but the famous general Lian Po of Jin State adopted the strategy of fortifying the city and clearing the countryside to attack Yunzhou.
At present, the Yunzhou City that General Zhang Yu is defending has become an isolated city, and it may be destroyed at any time."
