Emperor Mi Xiong of Chu planned to go to the State of Qin.
When the Jin State heard the news, they spoke to their close ministers helplessly:
"I heard that Mi Xiong is in poor health, but he is still willing to go to Xianyang. I am really impressed by him."
Zhang Liang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that it is the Chu State that is afraid of the Qin State."
Jin Emperor Chong'er asked, "Isn't it terrifying considering the current strength of Qin?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers fell into silence.
yes.
In terms of the current strength of the Qin State, with a territory of tens of thousands of miles, it can be called a hegemon.
In fact, in terms of territory alone, the difference between Qin and Qi was almost the same.
If the Qin State really decided to destroy one of the two countries, Jin and Chu, then it would definitely be an easy task.
"Go, or else...it will eventually give Qin an excuse to send troops again."
Princess Chong'er of Jin said helplessly.
Why did Qin Bing and Wu Hua withdraw their troops in the first place?
This is because the winter is very cold and it is not suitable for attacking the city.
In addition, the troops from the south of Chu State are about to arrive to support the king.
The siege was hopeless.
But what about now?
The Qin State has the strength to send troops again in the early spring of the following year.
At that time, with the current strength of the Chu State, can it withstand the millions of lions of the Qin State?
The answer is definitely no.
So Ji Chong'er had no choice.
...
Before Emperor Mi Xiong of Chu received the news.
The State of Qin took the lead in extending an invitation to the State of Qi.
I want to ask about Qi's attitude in advance.
After Ji Fa learned about this, he discussed it with Jiang Ziya:
"What Qin is doing is tantamount to causing dissatisfaction among other nations. Aren't they afraid that other nations will join forces to attack Qin?"
The latter thought for a moment and slowly said: "Your Majesty, I think that the benefits of Qin's move outweigh the disadvantages."
He expressed the thoughts of Cai Jing and others.
It has to be said that there is a certain reason why Jiang Ziya is called the master of a hundred schools of thought.
At the very least, we can guess some of the benefits that Qin would gain from doing this.
Ji Fa nodded and said, "In that case, Ying Yuan has made a thorough plan."
Jiang Ziya said bluntly: "Your Majesty, remember not to underestimate the Qin Emperor Ying Yuan, he..."
"After all, he is the man who led a country that was supposed to be weak to become strong!"
Hearing this.
Ji Fa was stunned.
yes.
What was originally a poor and weak country, under the leadership of Ying Yuan, has become completely strong!
Now, we are going to dominate all the countries!
"Ying Yuan, a hero!"
"I want to see him. I want to go to Xianyang!"
Jifa made a decision.
He really wanted to see the young emperor.
See what the differences are between you and him.
Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and smiled, "It would be good for your Majesty to go and see him. This way, you can better understand the Qin State."
At this point, he changed the subject and frowned, "However, I have a feeling that the Qin State will definitely be an enemy, not a friend, to the Qi State in the future."
Hearing this.
Ji Fa also nodded in agreement and said, "Any emperor who aspires to dominate will certainly not tolerate the emergence of another powerful country and its leader."
"What I admire most about the Qin State is that the pattern of nations that had lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years actually changed under the Qin State."
"If one day I were to clash with the Qin State, I would definitely mobilize the entire nation to fight it!"
To put it bluntly, it’s just one sentence.
If we don’t fight, there will be no peace; if we fight, there will be peace!
......
Early November of the eighth year of Chengping.
Emperor Mi Xiong of Chu was the first to rush to Xianyang.
On this trip, he only brought three thousand personal guards and some officials from the Ministry of Rites.
It is worth noting that he also took Huang Xie away.
He left Crown Prince Mi Sheng as regent and Wu Qi as assistant governor.
Winter has arrived.
Close to the present-day Qin-Chu border.
It was snowing heavily.
Mi Xiong, who was sitting in the imperial carriage, was in worse condition and his face was extremely pale.
From time to time, he would cough up a trace of blood.
suddenly.
He ordered the troops to halt.
Then, supported by the maid, she slowly stepped out of the imperial carriage and said to Huang Xie beside her:
"Come on, accompany me to see the territory that once belonged to my Chu State."
The original border between Qin and Chu was Hangu Pass.
But after that battle.
The Qin State had already occupied most of the Chu State's territory.
Huang Xie frowned and said in a heavy voice, "Your Majesty, it's cold, you should take care of yourself. Otherwise, why not rest in the imperial carriage?"
Hearing this.
Mi Xiong coughed violently a few more times.
He even spat out a mouthful of blood.
This frightened the eunuchs and palace maids accompanying the emperor.
"His Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, are you all right?"
Mi Xiong waved his hands and said weakly, "I'm fine. It's just an old illness."
Then, he looked at Huang Xie again and said word by word:
"Why? I'm not dead yet, but Prime Minister Huang doesn't obey my orders?"
Huang Xie lowered his head and said quickly, "I have absolutely no such intention. I am just worried about your Majesty's health."
Mi Xiong narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I said, I'm fine."
Then he walked forward alone.
Except Huang Xie, no one else was allowed to follow.
The wind is biting.
Given Mi Xiong's current physical condition, he naturally couldn't endure it.
He brought with him a pot of freshly boiled liquor, and squatted in the vast snow without paying attention to the imperial etiquette. He picked up two cups and paused for a moment.
