The news that the Qin State had mobilized its entire army to attack the Yan State quickly spread to other countries.
All countries, including the Xia Dynasty, were closely watching the situation in Qin and Yan.
Chu State, Tai'an City.
The imperial palace.
Emperor Mi Sheng of Chu, Xiang Chao, Wu Qi, Huang Xie, and all civil and military officials.
At this moment, they were discussing whether to attack Qin or Yan.
"Qin has dispatched an army of 1.5 million, and Yan will likely send no fewer than that."
"The intensity of this battle will far exceed that of the Three Kingdoms War."
"My Chu State wants to return to its previous peak state. This is an opportunity!"
"That's right, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. As long as our Chu State seizes the opportunity to attack one of the countries, we will definitely gain something!"
“…”
The so-called Three Kingdoms War actually refers to the war between Jin and Chu against Qin.
Although Qi State also participated later, at that time, it was the final stage of this huge battle.
After this battle, the State of Chu lost its vast territory and naturally lost the basis for its domination of the world.
For the Chu people, this was a thorn that pierced deep into their hearts.
They always think about returning to their former peak one day.
Now that the opportunity is in front of them, of course they are extremely excited.
At this time, Xiang Yu, who had been named Overlord, said arrogantly:
"This Marquis believes that when the war between Qin and Yan breaks out, Qin will undoubtedly be left vulnerable. It would be a perfect opportunity to seize this opportunity and invade Qin's heartland!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Xie sneered, "Ba Hou is still too young. Do you think that the total military strength of Qin State is only 1.5 million?"
At present, the Chu State has only 600,000 soldiers in the country.
They are also responsible for guarding the various fortresses and city gates.
In addition to the 1.8 million troops in the five major camps, the Qin State also had soldiers guarding cities in various places.
All in all, there are at least two million troops.
The State of Chu could send a maximum of 500,000 troops to attack Qin.
Moreover, the Qin State also had a vassal state - the Wu State.
Therefore, Huang Xie believed that attacking Qin at this moment would at most allow him to seize some land.
But afterwards, they had to suffer crazy revenge from the Qin State, which was not worth the loss.
At present, there is only one way for the national policy of Da Chu to go, and that is to develop silently.
Xiang Yu said disdainfully, "Prime Minister, are you frightened by the Qin attack? Besides, whether or not to attack Qin is not up to you or me, only your Majesty's decision counts!"
Because Huang Xie had too much power in the court.
Leading to its dominance.
Therefore, Mi Sheng came up with a solution, which was to increase the strength of the Xiang family.
After overcoming many difficulties, he finally bestowed upon Xiang Yu the title of Marquis.
However, he had no idea that Xiang Yu's ambition was even greater than Huang Xie's.
At the very least, Huang Xie wanted to be a powerful official, but Xiang Yu wanted to be a "king".
Huang Xie frowned and said, "That day in front of Hangu Pass, Ba Hou fought with the Qin Emperor and nearly died. Have you forgotten?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu immediately clenched his fists.
Huang Xie added, "I say these words not to look down on Ba Hou, but because, as the Qin Emperor's opponent, you should know that the Qin Emperor never does anything without confidence!"
What he meant was that since the Qin Emperor had chosen to attack Yan, he must have thought of a way out and was strictly preventing the surrounding countries from taking the opportunity to invade.
After hearing Huang Xie's words, Xiang Yu fell silent.
This overlord who always claimed to be invincible only felt a deep sense of powerlessness when facing Ying Yuan.
"It is not appropriate to attack Qin at this time."
As Huang Xie's words fell again.
There was no other voice in the court.
However, Xiang Yu seemed unwilling to give in.
This scene was seen by Wu Qi who was standing by.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are absolutely right!"
Unexpectedly, Wu Qi, who was able to compete with the Xiang clan, actually agreed with what Huang Xie said at this moment.
Among the three forces in the court, Huang Xie is the largest.
Only when Xiang and Wu Qi worked together could they barely compete with Huang Xie.
After all, the temple is the main battlefield for civil servants.
....
Qi State.
In the palace.
Ji Fa, Jiang Ziya, Ji Dan and others were also discussing Qin's attack on Yan.
Jiang Ziya spoke first, "Judging from the number of troops and generals Qin has dispatched, Yan will probably have to mobilize its entire nation to respond."
Ji Dan echoed, "If the Qin-Yan War goes as expected, it will be the most intense conflict among the nations in the past hundred years!"
Ji Fa was subconsciously surprised. "An unprecedented war in the past hundred years?"
Ji Dan nodded.
Jiang Ziya said, "Right now, there are two paths for our Qi State to take."
"First, take advantage of the opportunity to attack Chu and expand our own strength."
"Second, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, see which one will win in the end, Qin or Yan, and then attack the loser."
"And the second strategy is also what our Qi State is best at."
Jifa was in deep thought.
Before this, he had had several conversations with Ying Yuan.
I heard from the other party that he was "Lao Liu".
At first, Jifa didn't understand this word.
Only after listening to Ying Yuan's explanation did Ji Fa understand.
To be honest, sometimes he also thinks of himself as a sixth-grade student.
Once Lao Liu got used to it, he naturally wanted to take advantage of it.
After a moment, he suddenly made a decision:
"We are allies of Qin, and we are both called the Eastern and Western Emperors. Now that Qin is attacking Yan, how can I sit idly by?"
"I have decided. Immediately, I will send 600,000 troops to attack Yan!"
He did not adopt Jiang Ziya's strategy.
