Chapter 518: Mi Yue is seriously ill
The news that Xiang Yu was going to send troops to attack Qin spread throughout the country.
In an instant, it became a hot topic among the people.
Some talented and patriotic people thought this was a road to self-destruction.
"Chun Shenjun is dead, the Grand Marshal has left, and the Xiang family is about to send troops. This is the will of heaven for our Chu State!"
"Xiang Yu ultimately ignored the Grand Marshal's advice and was promoted to the rank of king. He is the first king of a different surname in the modern history of our Chu State."
"From now on, will the surname of our Great Chu be Mi or Xiang?"
“…”
They were all dissatisfied with the decision made by Xiang Yu.
However, some ordinary people who were happy to watch the fun felt that Xiang Yu's move was a demonstration to the world that the Chu State was rising again.
"Although our former Lord Chunshen was a good official, he was too weak. We haven't been bullied by the Qin State in all these years!"
"Yes, it is this Overlord who dares to act and can straighten the backbone of us Chu people again!"
"After all, he is from a military family. I hope this General Xiang can defeat the Qin army!"
"We will definitely win. Otherwise, how can the court talk about sending troops if it is not sure?"
“…”
Voices like this constitute the majority among the people.
At this moment, on the wall of Jimen City of Chu State.
Xiang Yu looked at the place where Huang Xie died, and suddenly he felt a surge of heroic spirit and laughed loudly:
"I am sending troops because the people want me to do so!"
On the side, his counselor Fan Zeng shook his head secretly.
Logically speaking, the Xiang family should now dominate the entire court.
Next, all you have to do is use the emperor to control the princes.
Deepen the common people's impression of the Xiang family.
Then wait for the emperor to make a mistake and depose him.
Then it naturally replaced it.
In this way, Xiang Yu was not only the overlord, but also the ruler of the State of Chu.
But what about now?
He promoted the villain Li Yuan and drove away Wu Qi, the pillar of the Chu State.
And we must raise an army to attack Qin...
It is not a wise move.
The best situation that Fan Zeng thought of was that Wu Qi would assist Xiang Yu and consolidate his foundation.
If Xiang Yu could get help from this prestigious Grand Marshal, it would be a foregone conclusion that he would become the ruler of the State of Chu.
After a pause, Fan Zeng had something to say, and he stood behind Xiang Yu, bowed deeply, and said:
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, why do you insist on attacking Qin?"
What makes Chu strong? Why can't Qin occupy Yan? Otherwise, the lips and teeth will be in danger...
Although these were all reasons to send troops, Fan Zeng, who was familiar with Xiang Yu's character, did not believe any of them.
When Xiang Yu heard what Fan Zeng asked, he hesitated for a moment.
Then, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "Ying Yuan is already forty years old, and my body is gradually no longer at its peak."
"What's the point of waiting until we're old to fight a war?"
"Only by fighting while we can still wield our weapons can we let the world know that Ying is inferior to Xiang."
This was Xiang Yu's pride.
After hearing this, Fan Zeng said no more.
Xiang Yu was only suitable for fighting for hegemony, but was definitely not suitable for becoming an emperor of all ages.
From this point of view, he believed that Xiang Yu had already lost to Ying Yuan.
It would take some time for the State of Chu to mobilize its entire national army.
During this period, the Qin State had already learned of the movements of the Chu State.
Far away in Xianyang City, Daji was furious.
"How dare the mere Chu State offend the Great Qin?"
"There are still 300,000 soldiers of the Great Qin on the grassland. I want to mobilize Yue Fei to attack Chu."
"What do you all think?"
As soon as the words fell.
The first to speak out was the Imperial Censor Yu Qian, who objected:
"Your Majesty, the troops on the grassland cannot be moved. Your Majesty placed Yue Fei on the grassland to prevent any more turmoil among the Three Kingdoms."
Hearing this, even Qin Hui agreed with his opinion.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Chu State currently has only 300,000 combat-ready soldiers, which is unlikely to have any impact on Your Majesty."
He felt that the grassland had been completely conquered by Qin Emperor Ying Yuan.
Even if Yue Fei dispatched troops to attack Chu.
In a short period of time, the three grassland kingdoms would find it difficult to recover and it would be impossible for them to attack Qin again.
After all, the lesson they learned last time was extremely painful.
Moreover, Ying Yuan also led 300,000 grassland soldiers.
Those are all 'hostages'.
And Xiang Yu was going to fight Ying Yuan.
At this moment, the internal situation of Chu must be empty if Yue Fei was really allowed to go.
We will definitely be able to conquer the State of Chu.
Anyone could have achieved such a great achievement, but Qin Hui didn't want Yue Fei to get it.
Moreover, Qin Hui also felt that with the current strength of the Qin Emperor Ying Yuan's army, the Chu army was not a threat.
Hearing what the two said, Daji frowned slightly and said:
"Could it be that I have to watch Xiang Yu lead his army to aid the State of Yan and create trouble for Your Majesty?"
Yu Qian said, "Your Majesty has always been a master at predicting military events, and I'm afraid the Three Guards' spies have already informed Your Majesty of the news about Chu."
"I believe that Your Majesty will have a solution. Now, we just need to wait for Your Majesty's order."
After hearing this, Daji's worries gradually subsided.
For some reason, as long as Ying Yuan is still in Yan State.
Sometimes, she would lose her composure because of this.
Perhaps, she didn't want to see the old Ying Yuan become a hero in his twilight years.
After a pause, Yu Qian continued:
"Your Majesty, I have learned that Wu Qi, the former Grand Marshal of Chu, suddenly visited Hangu Pass in our Great Qin after resigning from his post."
"We also went to the place where the former Chu Emperor, Mi Xiong, died."
