Chapter 562: I am serious about attacking Chu
It would have been better if Xia and Qi had not joined forces to put pressure on Qin.
At the very least, the Qin State would not mobilize its troops during the sports games.
However, now, Ying Yuan directly ordered Yue Fei to lead an army of 600,000 to station troops at the border.
As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused discussions among countries.
First, the monarchs of Xia and Qi met again to discuss matters:
"What exactly does Ying Yuan want to do? Is he really not afraid of becoming an enemy of other nations like us?"
"This Qin Emperor is most likely testing our bottom line."
After hearing the voice of Emperor Xia, Emperor Qi Jifa couldn't help but ask curiously:
"You mean, Qin's move is mainly to see whether you and I will become enemies of Qin?"
To put it bluntly, Qin sent troops to the border as long as it did not invade the land of Chu.
So, it is the internal affairs of Qin State.
As a great power with absolute sovereignty, Qin's actions did not require the consent of other countries.
At this moment, Ying Yuan's dispatch of troops has directly or indirectly changed the entire chess game.
First, the State of Chu and even other states would panic, thinking that Qin was determined to destroy Chu.
Then, they were forced to respond.
However, whether to fight or not depends entirely on Qin's decision.
Secondly, once the Qin army reaches the border, it will have complete control of the initiative.
Whether fighting or retreating, the Qin State could do it with ease.
But the State of Chu could not do that. Once they responded, the tense atmosphere among the countries would surface.
At that time, all the countries could only follow behind Qin and be completely led by Qin.
The most important thing is that in the eyes of the monarchs of various countries, Ying Yuan's dispatch of troops directly put the countries into a passive position.
They could neither rebuke nor respond, and could only let Qin take the initiative.
After figuring out what Ying Yuan had done, Emperor Xia spoke with a worried look on his face:
"If after Qin sends its troops, we or the anti-Qin alliance will also send troops to aid Chu."
"Then, it is possible that Ying Yuan is actually preparing to fight against other nations."
"Our two countries are very far away from Qin. If Qin were to lose power, I'm afraid it would be of no benefit to us."
Ji Fa nodded and said, "It was for this reason that Qi had to help Qin during the campaign against Yan."
Emperor Xia pondered for a moment and slowly said:
"Ying Yuan sent troops to warn us that the Qin State will not accept threats."
"The key now is when Qin will choose to attack Chu."
"Once the war breaks out, will it start the Second World War?"
Now is a critical moment of change that has not been seen in a century.
Peace or war.
Development or plunder?
Should we make friends with distant countries and attack nearby ones, or should all countries unite against Qin?
These issues that are so close to home lingered in the minds of the two emperors of Xia and Qi.
They really didn't expect that Ying Yuan would be so powerful that he would dare to send troops to the border.
The two emperors of Xia and Qi were thinking that they could not stand by and watch Qin destroy Chu, but they also could not stand by and watch Qin's interests suffer.
Since the opening of the Games, trade between the three countries has been increasing.
There was in-depth contact even in the military field.
If Qin suffered a loss in the affairs of Chu, then Xia and Qi would definitely lose some of their vested interests.
The news of Ying Yuan's military expedition soon reached the ears of Bigan, the minister of Feng State.
Bigan was responsible for leading the sports team of Feng State to Qin State to participate in the competition.
And all the countries in Qin's anti-Qin alliance centered around him.
Bi Gan thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't figure out why Emperor Ying Yuan of Qin dared to send troops?
Why would they send troops?
What benefits can Qin gain from this?
It is also extremely easy to be targeted by other countries.
Paused.
Bigan said to the envoys from Tang and Chu:
"The commander-in-chief of the Qin army was Yue Fei."
"This man is extremely skilled at leading large armies in battle. He is a renowned general of the Qin State. If he leads the army, I'm afraid the Qin State will truly destroy the Chu State."
"I have already written to His Majesty the Emperor of Fengguo. As for whether to send troops to aid the State of Chu, we still need to discuss it further."
The Chu envoy frowned and said, "At such a critical moment, we should send troops as soon as possible. If Yue Fei brazenly attacks our Chu, it will be too late to send troops later."
The Tang envoy said, "First, gather the troops and wait and see what Qin will do. If they dare to attack, then we will attack!"
In short, Ying Yuan's series of actions completely panicked all the countries.
The State of Chu naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
If other countries had sent troops, Qin would not have attacked Chu in the end.
In the end, it was the so-called anti-Qin alliance that was disgraced.
The whole thing turned into a farce.
Still being led by the nose by the Qin State is more shameful than losing a battle.
However, they all felt that since the Qin State had already sent Yue Fei.
Then, the goal should be to destroy Chu.
But they didn't think of one thing.
If war really wanted to break out, how could the Qin State only send Yue Fei?
When Yue Fei led his troops out of Xianyang City, Cao Cao once instructed him:
"Your Majesty's dispatch of troops is likely intended to observe the movements of other nations. Conflict with the State of Chu must not ensue unless absolutely necessary."
The former nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Prime Minister. I know what to do."
