Chapter 512: Li Yuan Shows His Power
Li Siyuan was shaken.
For Zhang Yi, most of the plan was already completed.
Qin's plan is underway.
A few days later, Fang Xuanling rushed all the way and arrived at the border of Chu State.
At the same time, the three major forces in the Chu court had also learned of the arrival of the Yan envoy.
Now, as the Xiang family continues to grow stronger, Huang Xie can no longer cover the sky with one hand.
In other words, the strength of the Xiang family is already on par with Huang Xie.
Therefore, among the three major forces, Wu Qi's strength is the weakest.
However, whether it was Huang Xie's side or the Xiang family, they had civil and military officials under their command.
They all respected Wu Qi very much.
Because they all knew that when it came to marching and fighting, the entire Chu State, even Xiang Yu, could hardly surpass Wu Qi.
He enjoys extremely high prestige.
Wu Qi also seemed to feel despair about the current situation in Chu State. He gradually gave up power and planned to stop interfering in the affairs of the court.
But for the Xiang family and Huang Xie, whoever can win over Wu Qi will have the right to speak in the court.
now.
In the imperial palace of the Chu State capital.
All the civil and military officials were thinking about whether to form an alliance with the State of Yan.
"The envoys from Yan are about to arrive. They want us to send troops to resist Qin. However, if we are defeated, it will be a disaster for our Great Chu."
"Do you think that if a country as big as Yan was destroyed by Qin, there would be no place for us, Chu, in the future?"
"Sending troops is not right, and not sending troops is not right either. What do you think we should do?"
"If we help Yan and really repel the Qin army, or if the Qin army eventually destroys Yan, will my Chu country suffer a crazy attack from Qin?"
“…”
Hear the various opinions of the ministers.
The young Emperor of Chu, Mi Sheng, was so confused that his head was about to explode.
In fact, deep down, he wanted to surrender to the Qin State.
After being the emperor for so many years and being coerced by others, he finally accepted his fate.
If he surrendered to the Qin State, his aunt would be able to find him a good way to make a living no matter what.
You will still enjoy a happy life in the second half of your life.
However, just because he thought so did not mean that the ministers of Chu agreed.
If Chu were to annex Qin, what could they do? What could they become?
By then, some people will worry about their livelihoods.
Therefore, the King of Chu was helpless. He had no say in the affairs of the court.
As the discussion among the ministers became more in-depth.
Huang Xie couldn't help it, and said to the Emperor of Chu:
"Your Majesty, if we help Yan now, what if the Qin army turns around and attacks our Chu? Can our Chu resist the Qin army's invasion?"
"Can Yan help us Chu?"
"We know nothing about this, how can we send troops so easily?"
Emperor Chu Mi Sheng thought about it carefully and felt that what he said made sense.
"Qin... no matter what, it's our friendly neighbor, but what about Yan?"
"We have never had any contact with the State of Yan. How can we help them?"
I guess only the King of Chu could say the four words "friendly neighbors".
Because everyone knows that if it were not for the Qin State, the Chu State would not have fallen to its current state.
Therefore, no one will remember the good things about the Qin State.
But over the years, the only person who made the Emperor of Chu feel that family affection still existed was Mi Yue.
Sometimes Mi Sheng even felt that if it weren't for Mi Yue, his reign as emperor would have ended long ago.
Either he was deposed by Huang Xie and others, or he was destroyed by the Qin State.
When everyone heard what Mi Sheng said, they couldn't help but sneer.
Then, the Overlord Xiang Yu said in a deep voice: "Even if we don't attack Qin, given Qin's character, will they be able to bypass our Chu in the future?"
"Qin's ambitions are clear as day. We've already missed one opportunity, and we can't miss it a second time."
The opportunity he was referring to was when Qin decided to attack Yan.
The State of Chu did nothing.
He felt that it was precisely because of Chu's inaction that the Qin army was able to be so unstoppable.
Huang Xie retorted, "The strength of Feng State far exceeds that of our Great Chu."
"Their Flying Elephant Army was famous throughout the nations, but wasn't it still destroyed by Qin?"
"How did Lord Xiang fail? Who should bear the consequences?"
"Your Xiang clan? To be frank, even if I sacrifice the lives of your entire clan, I cannot guarantee such a consequence!"
"Right now, it is definitely not the best time for our Chu Army to send troops. We still need to wait and see how the situation develops."
Xiang Yu said coldly, "Wait and see what happens? That sounds good, but aren't there enough changes now?"
"Will you be content only when Qin conquers all the other nations?"
"At least, we, the Xiang family, dare to do it, but what about you? You don't dare to do it, nor do you dare to take responsibility for it!"
Huang Xie said, "I am not worthy of being your advisor. General Wu, based on what you have said, should we aid the Yan army or remain inactive?"
Hearing the sound, Wu Qi sighed.
He knew that he couldn't escape.
The three powerful ministers checking and balancing each other was the national policy formulated by Mi Xiong back then.
Now, it really works.
After a pause, Wu Qi said quietly, "Hasn't the Yan envoy arrived yet?"
"Let's talk about it when he arrives."
Besides...
If this isn't wishing things over, then what is this?
Now that things have come to this, they can only wait for Fang Xuanling to arrive.
After the court was dismissed, Li Yuan did not return home.
Instead, he avoided Huang Xie's eyes and ears and went to Ba Hou's mansion to meet Xiang Yu.
The latter was very surprised.
