Three months later.
It was quiet in the Hall of King Qin. Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
On the throne, Ying Zheng's face was calm, but the depths of his eyes were filled with coldness.
"Dear ministers, how long has it been since Lord Chang Ping went to Chu and made the Chu army retreat?”Ying Zheng asked slowly.
Li Si stood up and cupped his hands.""Your Majesty, it has been more than three months.”
"Since the Chu Country has already retreated for so long, why hasn't Lord Chang Ping returned yet?”Ying Zheng's face gradually turned gloomy, with a faint flame of anger burning in it.
" This…" Li Si was silent as he lowered his head.
The others also lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
Only Ying Chen's expression was calm, as if he had already known something.
"Since you don't know, then let me tell you!”Ying Zheng stood up and looked at the ministers below, his voice filled with anger.
"Great Qin's former Lord Chang Ping only used a month to become the new King of Chu! Tell me, should I be happy or angry?”
"We are guilty!" Hearing this, all the ministers knelt down.
"Guilty? You are indeed guilty!" Ying Zheng was so furious that he could no longer suppress his anger.
"Especially Lord Chang Ping. I trusted him so much, but at the critical moment, he chose to betray me and Great Qin!”
"Tell me, what should I do?”
"Lord Changping is a wolf with wild ambitions and should be killed!”
"That's right! We must immediately send troops to attack the Chu Country!”
"I agree! I agree!"
The ministers said in unison, their faces filled with indignation.
"Dear ministers, how many troops do you think we need to pacify the Chu Country?”Ying Zheng restrained his emotions and asked coldly.
Li Si cupped his hands and said," Your Majesty, the Chu Country is vast. Although it has experienced several internal conflicts, it still has more than 300,000 soldiers!”
"If we want to attack Chu, we need to have an advantage in numbers. I believe we need at least 400,000 troops.”
"400,000?" Ying Zheng frowned slightly, seemingly hesitating.
Now that Great Qin had occupied five countries, its forces were too scattered.
If they were to gather 400,000 troops, they would need to transfer most of their forces from various places.
This would definitely cause instability in the region.
Therefore, Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Ying Chen and said," Uncle, if you were to lead the army, how many troops would you need?”
"Your Majesty, I believe that we only need two hundred thousand elites!”Ying Chen stood up and cupped his fists.
"Marquis Wuan, isn't this a little inappropriate?”Li Si frowned and immediately objected.
"You have to know that the Chu Country is not like any other country. Its strategic depth is extremely vast. It will be very difficult to destroy it without gathering an advantageous force.”
"That's not true." Ying Chen shook his head and said," The aristocratic families in the Chu Country are rampant, and their power is complicated. In addition, Lord Chang Ping's position was not right, so he had many potential enemies.”
"If we can rope in a portion of the forces, we will definitely be able to split the Chu Country internally. "Then, Great Qin will attack and destroy Chu in one battle!”
"Marquis Wu 'an is wise, Li Si agrees.”
In the end, Li Si agreed with Ying Chen.
After all, it was a miracle that Marquis Wu An had destroyed five nations in a row.
Thus, Li Si trusted Marquis Wuan very much.
"Very good, then we will do as Uncle Wang said and send 200,000 troops to attack Chu!”
Ying Zheng immediately clapped his hands, his face full of smiles.
"Uncle Wang, I'll leave everything to you!”
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. This subject will definitely not disgrace Your Majesty's orders!”Ying Chen cupped his fist and bowed, then said solemnly.
.........
On the other side, in Shouchun, the capital of the Chu Kingdom, the Chu King's Palace.
The original King of Chu was the son who had launched a coup and ascended the throne.
However, when Lord Chang Ping went to Chu, he, who was originally the son of Chu, joined forces with Xiang Yan. With the support of hundreds of thousands of troops, he directly drove Fu Chu off the stage.
Thus, Lord Chang Ping successfully became the new king of Chu!
After he became the King of Chu, he began to vigorously crack down on dissidents and consolidate the strength of the entire Chu Country in order to resist the Qin Country.
However, Chang Ping-Jun realized that he had thought too simply.
The various aristocratic families outside the country were very resistant to him. They constantly played tricks in the dark, which prevented him from using his full strength.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night. It's time for you to rest.”
In the King Chu's bedroom, a eunuch said softly.
At this moment, Lord Changping, no, King Chu Mi Qi, was reviewing the memorial.
"Sigh, so much time has passed?”Mi Qi could not help but sigh.
"It is our Great Chu's fortune that Your Majesty is so diligent in governing and loving the people!”the eunuch complimented.
"Diligent?" "What am I compared to the one in the State of Qin?" Mi Qi could not help but smile bitterly.”
"This memorial is only half a day's worth of the King of Qin's.”
Mi Qi had mixed feelings when he mentioned the King of Qin.
The eunuch didn't know what to say after hearing the King of Chu's words.
In the end, he could only lower his head and remain silent.
Sometimes, silence was the right thing to do.
After a long while, Mi Qi calmed down and regained his determination.
Ying Zheng, so what if you have the advantage now?
Until the end, it was still unknown who would win!
"Your Majesty, General Xiang Yan requests an audience!"
At this moment, a servant's voice came from outside the hall.
"Please come in!" Mi Qi quickly said.
"Greetings, King!"
Xiang Yan, who was wearing armor, knelt on one knee and bowed to Mi Qi.
"General, please rise!" Mi Qi quickly helped Xiang Yan up.
Mi Qi respected and trusted the Great General of the Chu Country, who was currently the greatest cornerstone of the Chu Country.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiang Yan stood up with a respectful expression.
"How is the situation now?" Mi Qi asked,
Xiang Yan shook her head slightly and said," According to the report from the spies in Xianyang, Ying Zheng is preparing to mobilize an army of two hundred thousand to attack us under the command of Marquis Wu 'an.”
"Marquis Wuan is the commander again?" "But this is within my expectations," Mi Qi said softly with a frown.”
"General, do you have the confidence to stop the Qin army?”
"Your Majesty, our Great Chu's 400,000 soldiers have long made all the preparations! They would definitely defeat the Qin army and protect Great Chu!”
Xiang Yan cupped his hands and bowed. His voice was extremely firm.
"Alright, I'll leave everything to you, General!”Lord Chang Ping said solemnly.
"I will definitely not disappoint you!”Xiang Yan says respectfully again.
Mi Qi nodded in satisfaction and did not say anything else.
However, both of them were very clear in their hearts.
With the current strength of the Chu Country, it was simply not a match for the Qin Country.
However, Mi Qi and Xiang Yan did not mind.
The reason why they chose to resist with all their might was because they wanted to exhaust the effective strength of the State of Qin as much as possible to pave the way for the Green Dragon Plan.
The Green Dragon Plan was a plan that Lord Chang Ping had spent countless efforts to formulate.
In order to make his plan succeed, he was not afraid even if he died.
