The thing that gave Mi Xiong the most headache finally happened.
In the court hall.
He said to Huang Xie: "The 800,000-strong army of Qi is probably just the vanguard, and more troops will be sent later.
Now Wu Qi hasn't even taken Hangu Pass. How should we fight this war? Should we continue the attack on Qin?"
After hearing this news, the latter also frowned, "If we continue to attack Qin, the troops we can mobilize in our country will only be 500,000...
However, if Wu Qi returns to help, all the efforts made by the Chu State will be in vain... At this moment..."
Mi Xiong said unhappily, "I didn't ask you to talk about the difficulties of the Chu State. I know this better than you.
I just want to know, do you have any strategy to repel the enemy? As for the Qin State, what should we, the Chu State, do?"
When Mi Xiong first heard the news, he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and even had white hair.
Huang Xie responded, "Your Majesty! Our only option now is a decisive battle! Let the Xiang family lead the army against Qi, and at the same time have Wu Qi dispatch 300,000 troops to the border.
In addition, we must quickly contact the State of Jin and request that they send troops to quickly capture Youyun in Qin. Then, we can join forces with Wu Qi to capture Hangu Pass!"
At this point, this is indeed a way to survive from a desperate situation.
If this plan succeeds, the State of Chu will have a brand new opportunity.
only...
What they never expected was.
Just as Qi announced its intention to send troops, Jin openly rejected Qin's request for peace and launched a full-scale attack on Hangu Pass.
A shocking event occurred within the State of Jin.
The six major families headed by the Wu family of Jin State and several smaller families united together and gathered nearly one million troops. They formally announced that they would advance into Shangjing to purge the court, overthrow the tyranny, and restore peace to the people.
In other words, they rebelled.
No one expected that because of the Jin-Chu alliance, not only did the Qin State not suffer much impact, but its own country was almost destroyed.
Zhuge Liang's plan has been considered a success so far.
Next, it depends on whether Jin and Chu can withstand this pressure.
If they could take it, Qin's chance to surpass the two countries would be postponed indefinitely.
If it could not hold on, the day when Qin would dominate the Three Kingdoms would not be far away.
As for Guo Kai...
After hearing that Jin State openly refused to negotiate peace, he wanted to escape with the delegation overnight.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he ran out of Shangjing, he was caught by people sent by the Jin Emperor.
Except for him, all other members of the delegation were killed by the Emperor of Jin.
When the news of Jin's killing of prisoners spread, Qin took advantage of the situation to build momentum.
But they just didn't know why Jin Emperor Chong'er was not in a hurry to kill Guo Kai.
Is he planning to use Guo Kai to force Qin to do something?
But is this possible?
