Chapter 718 Five Kingdoms Attack One

Liu Yuzhi returned: "According to the situation we have grasped now, the Chu envoy has arrived in Xuan State and should have had a meeting with King Xuan, but the Xuan State has not issued a government order to expel Qin Shang."

Did this queen not agree to the plan to unite with the weak Qin?

Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and made a quick decision: "Transfer the king's order and let the Qin Shang, who is still in Xuanguo, return to the country as soon as possible."

"Ah?" Liu Yuzhi said: "But the king, King Xuan has not issued an expulsion order, and is obviously still hesitating. Our country should take advantage of this and try every means to win over Xuan's country."

"Yes, the king." Liu Changqing said: "Although the four countries conspire, Xuan State has not joined yet. If our country can join forces with Xuan State and form a situation of two against four, we can still have more chances of winning."

"That's right." Shangguan Wenruo followed: "The national strength and military strength of the Xuan Kingdom are not weak. If the war begins again, with the power of Qin Xuan, it may not necessarily lose to the four countries. Moreover, the Xuan Army has cooperated with our army many times, and the relationship between the King and the Xuan King is not bad. It is better to send envoys to Xuan and lobby."

The relationship between the two kings of Qin and Xuan is more than just a bad one.

But no one knows this.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yuan said: "No need, it is meaningless to win over Xuanguo now, and there are many difficulties. This alliance between the nations is different from the past. This is a sign of attacking Qin."

"Then...that king intends to fight five?" Liu Yuzhi said with a worried look on his face: "If this is the case, Qin will undoubtedly be defeated."

He was right. Even if the Qin army is brave and good at fighting, they will definitely be defeated when fighting against the five countries. The Qin State has not yet reached the point of dominating the world.

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Prime Minister, don't worry too much. Now the countries obviously want to weaken our national strength first. The time to start a war is not yet here."

"The king is right." Shangguan Wenruo received: "I think that if the four countries attack Qin now, it would be a good thing. If they are afraid, they will continue to drag it."

"It's okay." Xiao Yuan said: "War consumes military, horses, money and food. The nations want to weaken our country's strength, but our Qin State does not pay much attention to business. As long as we have not gone east, we can take on this battle as long as we stockpile enough food and grass!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

Jia You then said: "Then the wealth minister suggested that we might show weakness first, so that the countries could think that their purpose was achieved. This time, no matter whether their alliance is reliable or not, it is certain that it is not possible to attack Qin in the short term. During this period, our country can also make all pre-war preparations."

"Well..." Xiao Yuan nodded slowly and said, "In addition, increase the recruitment efforts, the new army's training must not be stopped."

Xuanguo, the palace study room.

Yao Tingyu is asking for a meeting with King Xuan.

Before, after meeting with the Chu envoy in Xuanguo Court, King Xuan did not agree immediately, but instead made a perfunctory excuse.

In response to this, Xuan Xiang was naturally eager to know the attitude of his king. After seeing the lecture in the study, he also said straight to the point: "The king, now the four countries are united and have all begun to expel Qin Shang, Wu Chu Huanling, must be eager to see our country's attitude. If the king does not follow the trend, he may offend the four countries."

King Xuan glanced at him and asked in a plain voice: "What is the general trend of the world?"

Yao Tingyu said: "The weak Qin in all countries are obviously preparing for the war to attack Qin. If the four countries are determined to destroy Qin this time, even the Qin army's tiger and wolf army's army will not really resist it. Especially the Ling Kingdom, the eastern overlord, will not have much problem with Qin one-on-one, and with Wu and Chu, Qin will definitely be defeated."

"But don't forget that Qin has a Shanyuguan, which is the danger of the world. If they really fight, even if the four countries can destroy Qin, they will inevitably suffer great losses." King Xuan said.

"Then, what the king means is to watch on the wall?" Yao Tingyu couldn't help asking.

"I'm still thinking." King Xuan said concisely.

Hearing this, Yao Tingyu was a little anxious: "King, Qin has entered a dangerous situation this time, and it is difficult to reverse it. If our country does not stand with the Four Kingdoms, maybe before attacking Qin, the Four Kingdoms will first point the finger at us."

This is indeed something that can happen.

King Xuan frowned slightly and said, "With that being said, the Prime Minister has thought about whether we would be in the place of Xuan after we allied with the four countries and participated in the destruction of Qin?"

"At that time, Wu Chu will definitely take the lead in proposing to destroy Xuan. Lingguo will not help me, and Xuanguo will have no allies."

Her words seemed to make sense, but Yao Tingyu said: "Although the king was far-reaching, I thought that after the Qin Dynasty, the Xuan Kingdom was enough to deal with the countries. The Ling King would never see Wu and Chu as the world was dominated by the situation, and maybe there would be a balance."

Prince Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and thoughts. She knew in her heart that most of the ministers of Xuan State were on the side of the four countries because they were powerful! They would definitely not agree to a alliance with Qin because the risks were too great.

From her heart, of course she wanted to stand on Xiao Yuan's side, which was related to personal emotions.

But as the king of a country, she had to consider the opinions of all her ministers, and it was inevitable that she would be confused.

She had already fallen in love with Xiao Yuan.

How great would it be if it was just an ordinary person?

Why was born in the royal family? Even the person you like cannot choose?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this, Yao Tingyu was confused and couldn't help but say, "The king has made a decision..."

King Xuan still didn't say anything, his beautiful eyes moved slightly, obviously still thinking about it.

At this moment, Yang Zhao walked in and bowed respectfully, "King, letters from Qin State."

"Ah?" King Xuan was stunned at first, and then he reacted: "Come on."

"Yes." Yang Zhao responded, took out the secret letter, and placed it respectfully on the table.

King Xuan unfolded and looked at it carefully.

Yao Tingyu shook his head slightly. In his heart, he knew without thinking that this must be a letter of win over from Qin.

But after reading it, King Xuan thought for a moment, he spoke, "I will expel Qin Shang immediately."

"Ah?" Yao Tingyu was stunned. He had just thought that after King Xuan read the letter, he would have to spend more time talking, but he didn't expect that it would be the result.

After being stunned, his face also showed joy, and he quickly bowed down: "The King Yingming--"

"Okay." King Xuan put away his letter and waved his hand: "The Prime Minister's Office will give an order and tell the Chu envoy that the State of Xuan agreed to the plan of uniting with the weak Qin."

"Yes, I obey the order." Yao Tingyu politely retreated.

The next day, the State of Xuan, like the other four countries, began to cut off trade with Qin. Chu responded with satisfaction and returned excitedly.
