Nowadays, there are many people in the Qin court who are dissatisfied with Yue Fei.
However, as a civil and military leader, Cao Cao also deliberately suppressed those voices that were detrimental to the war on the front line.
Because even Boss Cao had full faith in Yue Fei's military strategy.
Of course, Ying Yuan definitely didn't insist on using Yue Fei because of this.
On the contrary, he felt that Yue Fei simply could not defeat Xiang Yu.
Therefore, the other side must be forced to continue the unfinished war.
One day.
Ying Yuan had nothing to do, so he sat in the pavilion in the palace with Daji, Zhen Mi, Cai Yan and others.
The children played and had fun in an orderly manner under the leadership of Yingying.
Seeing this scene, Ying Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Daji sat beside him, poured him a cup of tea, and asked curiously:
"Now that the war on the front lines has suffered setbacks one after another, your Majesty the Emperor can still laugh out loud."
Ying Yuan spoke frankly: "If Yue Fei wins, I will be worried."
"But now that he has suffered defeat after defeat, I feel relieved."
He spoke the truth.
But other people won’t believe it.
Take Daji for example, she was subconsciously stunned.
After thinking about it carefully for a long time, I still couldn't figure out the key point.
However, she believed Ying Yuan that there must be other deeper meanings behind Yue Fei's defeat.
At this moment, they were not the only ones discussing Yue Fei's defeat.
Even the two emperors of Xia and Qi and those anti-Qin forces were not idle.
This matter.
Emperor Ji Fa of Qi was meeting Emperor Xia in the palace outside the city of Xianyang, where Ying Yuan used to escape the summer heat.
The two gradually discussed Yue Fei:
"I've met Yue Fei before. He doesn't seem incompetent at fighting. Logically speaking, no matter how powerful Xiang Yu was, he couldn't have pushed him into that state."
Emperor Xia nodded and said:
"Ying Yuan wouldn't just send anyone to lead the army to attack Chu. This Yue Fei must have some extraordinary qualities."
"But ever since the battle with Xiang Yu, he has suffered defeat after defeat. This is very strange."
"At first, I was still thinking that the Qin State was deliberately defeated, but after thinking about it carefully, I found that this is simply impossible..."
Yes, a country mobilized its troops to attack the State of Chu.
As a result, he was chased and beaten out.
Now, Xiang Yu even wanted to invade the territory of Qin.
This is really embarrassing.
Moreover, there seems to be no benefit at all.
What exactly does the Qin State want to do?
However, what they could not have expected was.
At this moment, new changes will take place on the battlefield between Qin and Chu.
More than half a month had passed since Xiang Yu drove Yue Fei out of the territory of Chu.
The 500,000-strong army led by Yue Fei suffered basically no casualties.
But he did something surprising.
They gradually returned to the capital in batches of 100,000 people.
In less than three days, 200,000 soldiers out of the 500,000-strong army had left.
They are really returning to the capital!
After this news reached Xiang Yu.
All the Chu army generals laughed unscrupulously:
"I thought Yue Fei was quite capable, but it turns out he's being so cautious even when retreating!"
"Yes, retreating in batches is because they are afraid of a sudden attack from our army. Your Majesty, we have already won this battle. Are you considering returning to the capital?"
"The Qin army has retreated and we have driven them away. If we rashly attack the heartland of Qin, I'm afraid we won't have enough troops!"
“…”
After several months of confrontation between the enemy and us.
The 300,000 elite troops brought by Xiang Yu, plus the garrisons in various border cities, still had nearly 400,000 troops.
After hearing the soldiers talk about returning to the capital, he also thought about it.
"The Qin army no longer poses a threat to our Chu State."
"If Qin were to launch another offensive against Great Chu with an army of several hundred thousand, I'm afraid the surrounding states would not agree."
"In this case, immediately announce the army's triumphant return."
As soon as the words fell.
Fan Zeng was suddenly stunned, as if he had thought of something.
Then he quickly said:
"Your Majesty, please wait a little longer. Wait a month. If the Qin army truly loses its desire to attack within a month, it won't be too late to withdraw."
Fan Zeng's plan has a very obvious advantage, or it can be called a disadvantage, which is that it is too stable.
When he does things, he always likes to nip worries in the bud and always likes to make full preparations.
But sometimes, Xiang Yu was rather disgusted by this. He believed that a real man, born between heaven and earth, should be brave and invincible and dare to act.
So Xiang Yu shook his head and said:
"If the army stays one more day, the court will have to prepare one more day's worth of food and fodder."
"Now, our Great Chu's treasury is empty, making it difficult to station troops for a long time. Qin has suffered a defeat this time, so it should be quiet for a while."
"It just gives us a chance to recuperate."
Fan Zeng knew that now that things had come to this, he could no longer dissuade Xiang Yu.
He just hoped that the Qin State would really calm down.
However, in reality, his hopes were shattered.
The moment Xiang Yu announced that the entire army would return to the capital.
Yue Fei has assembled the remaining 300,000 troops.
Moreover, he built a high platform to review the generals and shouted loudly to all the soldiers:
"Warriors of the Great Qin, these past few days, we have been driven here by the Chu people like dogs."
"We have brought shame upon our country!"
"Now, there is an opportunity to redeem yourself from the past. Will you fight for it or not?"
