Mrs. Mi's next mysterious words shocked my normal thinking nerves and completely subverted my natural reasoning.

"Shouchun is the last unbreached city in the Chu State, the royal family of the Mi clan and the loyal martyrs of the Xiangmen clan will defend the city wall to the death, even if they dare to retreat to a city, then they have the certainty of defending a city, the Qin army wants to take it lightly, I am afraid it is not so easy.

The situation in the battle of Qin and Chu changed so quickly, Bengong thought that there would be no less twists and turns.

Previously, so many cities in the Chu State were breached lightly, in addition to the strong strength of the Qin army, it is very likely that the Chu State deliberately abandoned it. ”

The words spoken by Mrs. Mi shocked me, but she was not affected by my feelings, she just smiled calmly and said to me the purpose of the Chu State.

"The state of Chu knew that the scattered troops could not withstand the 600,000 army of the Qin state, and they wanted to keep the main force and retreat to the last city, and consider this stronghold in the long run, in order to decide whether to hold on or take the opportunity to counterattack depending on the opportunity and the actual situation, and regain the territory under the advantage of their clever plan, or the help of time and the combination of external forces."

Mrs. Mi's words surprised me, and what she said to me was even more unexpected than accidental.

Could it be that Mrs. Mi said these words to me because she wanted to win me over to meddle in the diplomatic affairs of Qi State, and ask me to send a distress message to Qi State to help Chu State?

I startled myself and quickly denied myself.

Probably not, Mrs. Mi and I have figured out these things, and the monarchs of Qi and Chu have already budgeted their feasibility and put them into action - Lin Jixiang did not send all his troops to assist the Chu State, I think the entanglement between Qi and Chu has been understood, and there is no need for me to say anything at all.

What did Mrs. Mi tell me to do with this?

Grumbling? It is impossible, Mrs. Mi is disgusted by Yingzheng, and a large part of the reason why she can sit in the position of Mrs. Seventh is because she puts herself in the role of a "transparent person", and the biggest feature of this role is that she does not interfere in anything in the internal affairs of the palace.

I'm a long-term envoy who is always passively in a desperate situation. Mrs. Mi is not going to complain about me and gossip.

I was really curious about the purpose of her remarks, so I couldn't help but make my own point.

"But forgive the slave concubine bluntly, the slave concubine heard that there are no more than the soldiers of the army in Shouchun City. There were also many royal families and slaves. So many people live in one city, and nothing else is said. The mere reality of eating is enough of a headache.

General Wang Jian is brave and good at fighting, and he is even more wise in strategy, he can bear the pressure of the king's urgent battle, hold the troops at the border for a while, and can also sit and wait for the moment of defeat when the soldiers of Shouchun City are short of food.

Confined to one city, I want to postpone the war and restore the country... Madame, you are a smart person, you can imagine the difficulty, right? ”

I was unrelenting, but I didn't say anything.

As if waiting for my questioning to be spoken, the smile in Mrs. Mi's eyes was very strong when she heard it, and her answer to me was even more unambiguous and straightforward.

"The king began to send troops to Korea in the seventeenth year. The Qin State's intention to plot the territory of the world was clearly revealed, and the citizens of all countries were in danger, and they took countermeasures to prevent accidents.

The soldiers of Chu are strong and strong, and they think they have the strength to fight. At the same time, however, it is clear that the events of war are changing rapidly, and no one can say for sure the law of success or failure.

Although it was a heart of defeat before it existed, Chu had also made complete preparations, and Shouchun City was the last Jedi counterattack opportunity for the Qin State to break through the border and the Chu State.

If it is as it seems, the insects and mosquitoes outside the walls of Shouchun City are surrounded by Qin soldiers. The plan to enclose the land is self-defeating, but how can seven years of preparation be as simple as a towering city wall? ”

She looked in the direction of Chu Guo, and her voice seemed to be talking to herself, and the more she spoke, the more sad she became.

I know how painful it is to tell outsiders about the secret of one's own country, the last secret of the line of survival. But I don't know if Madame Mi knew that I was in her audience, and if she was talking to herself, then it would be a sin for me to hear about it.

I wanted her to be sober about what she was doing, but she was talking, and I couldn't retreat to any other place, so I had to sit upright and sit with her.

Mrs. Mi's words continued.

"At this time, the Qin soldiers can't attack the high city wall, and they won't be able to attack it in the spring, because the subjects of the Chu State inside are not crazy or hungry."

I lowered my eyebrows, my hands entangled and twisted the handkerchief in my hand, I understood the truth that "the more you know, the more wrong you have", and what Mrs. Mi said at this time is related to the current confrontation between the two superpowers, and if something happens at that time, I have heard Mrs. Mi's sin is a big reason for being suspected.

I couldn't move forward, I couldn't stand or sit still, I could only look elsewhere.

While I pretended not to care, trying to alleviate the possibility of being haunted by some possible misfortune, Mrs. Mi suddenly looked at me intently, and her voice changed to a rather serious complexion.

"You must not know that there are many tunnels dug in the palace of Shouchun City, which lead to mountains of different distances, large and small, and the inaccessible places in the mountains have been reclaimed wasteland, and there will be special people to hunt and plant.

These started at the exit of the tunnels of the palace of the king of Chu, and were quite laborious to find outside, and each passage was heavily guarded, so it was not advisable to enter the city through the narrow passages. ”

I looked at Mrs. Mi's resolute eyes, but I didn't seem to see her resolute dazedness.

Mrs. Mi must be stunned, otherwise how could she tell me such a confidential matter?

"Madame—"

I called her, wanting to remind her that my cunzài - it's me, I'm the princess of Qi and the princess of Qin!

Mrs. Mi knew my save, but she still looked at me resolutely and continued what she said.

"There are some long hidden passages that lead to the riverbank not far outside the city, and there is enough grain buried there, so that if the city runs out of food, there will be a steady stream of food to be transported inside."

It seems that Mrs. Mi deliberately wanted to tell me the secret of Chu State.

If she did it on purpose, then I have to listen to her purpose before making plans.

"The state of Chu has already begun to fight a protracted war?" I asked at her point.

Mrs. Mi did not deny it.

"Only by surviving can we have a chance to turn the tables, the Qin army is attacking fiercely, and the Chu State can only do this. What's more, the last thing our king wants is to delay the war, and the Chu State did the opposite, and this is also to want the Qin State to temporarily give up the decision to destroy the Chu State. ”

The state of Chu is broken, but there is a city left, and the Qin army is helpless, and this embarrassing stalemate will drag the general trend of the unification of the Qin state unpredictable:

Either the Qin army temporarily gave up destroying Chu, and then looked for an opportunity to attack the rest of the countries first; Either the king of Chu will die and lose the opportunity to fight back, or the rest of the countries will change their minds to help him fight back together.

No matter which direction it goes, it will be an unfavorable outcome for the Qin State to reduce morale, and it will also make the arrogant Yingzheng lose face.

"But, madam, the slave concubine is presumptuous: the unification of the world by the Qin State is the trend of the times, and the collapse of the Chu State is a matter of time.

Because the women of Chu and the concubine of Qin, the Empress Dowager Huayang, had great help to Chu when she was in charge of Qin, Chu was not very reluctant to women to participate in politics.

As the legendary "soothsayer" who was trained by the Empress Dowager and reborn in thunder, I instilled in Mrs. Mi the idea of historical finality is that she has a background in her heart about the death of the country, and maybe this background can be transmitted by her to the King of Chu, so that the King of Chu can have multiple reconciling threads when measuring the outcome of the war.

Mrs. Mi frowned.

"Hongu can see clearly. However, it is human nature to struggle to the death, even if you are destined to die, then fight, at least you will not feel aggrieved in your heart. She was stunned, but helplessly calm.

Since Mrs. Mi understands everything, and Chu Guo has no heart to compromise, then what she said to me made me even more uneasy.

"Madame and concubine say this, do you want to?" I looked at her suspiciously.

Mrs. Mi didn't deliberately hide it, and when she saw me asking, she said it directly.

"The king is worried about the injury of his son, and his heart must be sad, if the Chu State is conquered early at this juncture, he will definitely be better."

She looked at him and spoke calmly, but tears condensed.

I am grateful for her friendship with Yingzheng, but I am even more moved by her sadness for dedicating her mother country to this.

"But the king is pleased, what should you do, ma'am?

You are the daughter of the Chu State, once the Qin soldiers capture Shouchun, won't you have to watch the country fall, and you will have to bear the charge of unfilial piety to help Qin destroy Chu? ”

Mrs. Mi shed two lines of tears, but she squeezed out a smile and looked at me.

"Didn't you also say that the king's great cause will be accomplished, since the death of Chu is a matter of time, then it will happen sooner or later, isn't it the same? It's early, and the king can realize his ambition earlier. Her voice trembled, and her heart was broken.

How can I sort out such a tangled contradiction?

"The concubine is courageous, and I hope to forgive my sins. Please Madame, please speak to the king by yourself, the slave concubine is inconvenient. I stabbed her back.

It's not to help, it's not to help, I still escaped cleanly, so as not to let me follow Mrs. Mi and be wrenched by her triangular relationship in vain.

Mrs. Mi ignored my excuses, and she went on with herself.

"I don't know where the specific location of the exit is, if you are not familiar with the place, if you want to investigate, it will take a huge amount of manpower and time to observe inch by inch of the vast Chu land. Since the Qin army can find it, but our king can't afford it, so let the palace inform you and you will donate it to the king. ”

There are tunnels in the Chu Palace of Shouchun City, and the exits of the tunnels are hidden and scattered, how can I know about it? Moreover, if Yingzheng used this information, and the information was true, and the Qin soldiers defeated the Chu State in a short period of time, then the credit would be great.
