Chapter 520: An unprecedented war!
The Chu army is preparing for battle.
At the same time, he sent people to inform the State of Yan of the news of the Qin army's invasion.
Request their reinforcements.
In fact, the State of Yan already knew about it the moment the Qin army set out.
At present, they are discussing in the big tent whether to aid Chu.
The first is Fang Xuanling, who was previously an envoy sent by Li Shimin to the State of Chu.
There were not many factors that led to the Chu State sending troops.
But after all, he was the one who brought the 300,000-strong Chu army, so he needed to be responsible.
Otherwise, I'm afraid the Chu people will find ways to kill him.
"Your Majesty, Chu is now an ally of Great Yan, and they are here to help us."
"If we do not lend a helping hand in their time of crisis, how will the people of the world view our Yan State?"
"If we don't help in this war, and after the war, Chu doesn't help Yan, what should we do?"
From the moment the people of Yan State discussed whether to help Xiang Yu, it proved that they were no longer kind.
To put it more seriously, it is no different from destroying the bridge after crossing it.
As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Zhangsun Wuji suddenly frowned and said:
"Your Majesty, it's not impossible to help Chu, but I feel that there is something fishy about this matter!"
"Why didn't the Qin attack the Yan State, but attacked the Chu State instead?"
"After all, in the final analysis, we are the real opponents of Qin..."
Hou Junji echoed, "I share this concern. I suspect this is most likely a Qin tactic to provoke an invasion."
"They appear to be attacking the Chu army, but in fact, they are targeting the main force of our Yan army."
"If we rashly send troops to rescue the Chu army, we will easily be surrounded by the Qin army."
Afterwards, several Yan army generals said that they should not rush to rescue the Chu army.
This made Fang Xuanling very anxious.
"My lords, the Chu army is here to help our Yan State. Aren't you afraid of discouraging our allies by doing this?"
He looked at his good friend Du Ruhui, hoping he could stand up and say something.
However, the other party remained silent.
Even Li Ji, the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Yan State, slowly closed his eyes at this moment.
Seeing this, how could Fang Xuanling not know what everyone was really thinking?
He was helpless and could only shake his head and sigh.
As everyone knows, the Qin army is best at annihilation wars and blitzkrieg.
If reinforcements are not sent in time, I'm afraid the Chu army won't be able to hold out for long...
After leaving the tent, Fang Xuanling said to Du Ruhui:
"The Chu army is so weak, how could it possibly be defeated by the Qin army?"
"Your Majesty's plan is likely to fail."
Du Ruhui said, "Your Majesty is not in a hurry to send reinforcements, except for the reasons you and Hou Junji mentioned."
"I'm afraid there's another one."
Fang Xuanling asked curiously, "How do you say that?"
Du Ruhui said bluntly: "Your Majesty, from the very beginning, never expected the Chu army to come to our aid."
"But now the Chu army has arrived. Even if both sides cooperate sincerely, it will be difficult to repel the Qin army."
"It would be better to let the Chu army consume the Qin army's strength, and then the Yan army will do its best to stop the Qin army."
"After you left, the bad commander Yuan Tiangang came once and met His Majesty, and then he disappeared again."
"I suspect that His Majesty has sent Yuan Tiangang to Xia Country. Now, only Xia Country can help our Yan Country."
Hear his long speech.
Fang Xuanling understood everything instantly.
"I'm afraid that from now on, the Chu people will hate me."
Du Ruhui patted his shoulder and said earnestly:
"His Majesty will remember your contribution, and so will the people of Yan."
---------------
The reinforcements from Yan State will definitely not arrive.
The Chu army could only fight alone.
The Qin and Chu sides met on a vast plain.
This was the second confrontation between Ying Yuan and Xiang Yu after the Battle of Hangu Pass.
Neither side was in a rush to launch an offensive.
They only saw Ying Yuan and Xiang Yu leaning towards each other at the same time.
Behind the two of them was an army numbering in the hundreds of thousands, even millions, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The solemn and murderous atmosphere seemed to cover the area within a hundred miles.
Be it birds or beasts, faced with that murderous aura, they would only flee in panic and would never dare to stay here.
In the end, that murderous atmosphere was pushed to its peak when Ying Yuan and Xiang Yu came into close contact.
Even the heaven and earth were eclipsed by it.
In the vast sky, a huge and floating black cloud gradually condensed, which seemed to cover millions of troops.
This is destined to be a battle that will go down in history.
In the Battle of Hangu Pass that day, the Qin army was outnumbered by the Chu army.
now.
The Qin army was three times as strong as the Chu army.
Ying Yuan was really curious. The Qin State could win at that time, so why did Xiang Yu dare to come?
"You are very brave. I admire your courage."
Ying Yuan said lightly.
Xiang Yu responded solemnly: "In this world today, there can only be one invincible person, and that is me, the Overlord of Chu, Xiang Yu!"
In this battle, the worst possible outcome he could imagine was the annihilation of the entire army.
Including myself will die.
But he still wanted to fight.
There was no choice but to retreat.
If this battle could be won, Xiang Yu would leave a strong mark in history books.
Xiang Yu was a hegemon who longed for victory but was not afraid of failure.
Ying Yuan admires this kind of person very much.
"I think I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will fight you with all my strength today!"
