He didn't understand why Han Feng had suddenly appeared in Xiangyang City.
If the previous information hadn't been absolutely accurate, Xiang Yan would have suspected that this was a conspiracy between King Han and Han Feng, a conspiracy against his Chu state.
"Han Feng? That sickly guy?"
"How could he possibly escape Ji Wuye and Han An's ambush?"
The King of Chu was puzzled and muttered to himself, his face full of disbelief.
"Your Majesty, if the commander of the reinforcements is indeed Han Feng, then there is no doubt that Ji Wuye and Han An failed in their interception."
Xiang Yan remained calm.
The army that Ji Wuye and Han An sent to intercept and kill Han Feng must be the elite of the elite.
If Han Feng was able to defeat them, he naturally possessed the strength to defeat Liang Bo's 60,000-strong army.
Upon hearing this, the King of Chu also felt that Xiang Yan's words made sense.
"It seems we all underestimated Han Feng!"
"This Han Feng is really good at hiding his true abilities!"
The King of Chu muttered to himself. (947)
And just then.
Imperial guards strode in from outside.
"Report!"
After the imperial guards entered, they knelt on one knee before the King of Chu, holding a carrier pigeon in their hands.
Upon seeing this, the King of Chu frowned.
"Send it up!"
The King of Chu remained expressionless, his tone cold.
The words fell.
Then a eunuch stepped forward, took the carrier pigeon, and brought it up.
After the old eunuch beside the King of Chu took the carrier pigeon and confirmed its contents, he gave the letter to the King of Chu.
The King of Chu then opened it and began to read.
bang~
The King of Chu suddenly stood up from his throne.
"hateful!"
"It really is that sickly Han Feng!"
"He actually possesses the strength to annihilate Ji Wuye and Han An's 20,000 elite ambush troops."
The King of Chu's face showed shock, as well as anger.
Such news is now being relayed back.
If the news had come back earlier, he would have issued an order for Liang Bo to abandon the attack on Xiangyang and withdraw his troops.
however.
Now, everything is too late.
The King of Chu was both angry and annoyed!
Upon hearing this, the generals and ministers below trembled, none daring to touch the King of Chu's brow.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yan frowned deeply.
This was almost exactly what he had guessed.
Han Feng truly possesses the strength to thwart Ji Wuye and Han An's conspiracy.
A chill ran through Xiang Yan's heart.
Han Feng and Ji Wuye have been at odds for so long, and it's always Ji Wuye who has suffered.
Furthermore, Han Feng is very good at hiding his true strength; no one knows his true abilities.
This Han Feng may very well become a major threat to the State of Chu in the future.
Xiang Yan held this view.
The King of Chu had no idea what Xiang Yan was thinking.
He looked at Xiang Yan somewhat embarrassedly, thought for a moment, and then asked, "General Xiang, Han Feng is currently stationed in Xiangyang City. Will he lead his troops to attack us?"
The King of Chu felt that Han Feng was in great danger and worried that Han Feng would return for revenge after resting.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yan frowned deeply.
A moment passes.
Xiang Yan raised his eyes to meet the King of Chu's gaze and replied, "Your Majesty, it is said that Han Feng is a vengeful man and may indeed lead his troops to attack us."
Xiang Yan wasn't sure either.
"General Xiang, how should we deal with him?"
The King of Chu was afraid.
Although the land is vast and rich in resources, the territory of the State of Chu is not now an impenetrable fortress.
To the west, the Qin state was also watching with predatory eyes.
To the north, the states of Wei and Qi were in the same situation.
Now that we've been defeated, what if Han Feng really leads his troops to attack?
The State of Chu might truly be surrounded by enemies on all sides and fall into an abyss of no return.
"Your Majesty, the only course of action now is to increase our military strength to guard against Han Feng."
Xiang Yan couldn't think of any good solutions.
The only suggestion was to advise the King of Chu to send a large army to the border.
Upon hearing this, the King of Chu nodded.
He then took a deep breath and shouted, "Immediately issue orders to the border garrison to strengthen their defenses and guard against any South Korean attack!"
"Yes!" The Imperial Guard who had just entered accepted the order and left.
The King of Chu was somewhat relieved.
And this time.
A minister stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that Han Feng is a womanizer. It is said that in order to obtain Consort Hu, he disregarded the status of Crown Prince Han An, sent people to interrupt Han An's wedding, and abducted the bride, Consort Hu."
"After Han Feng got Hu Meiren, he immediately favored her and indulged in revelry day and night, taking Hu Meiren with him wherever he went."
“Even when he was taking the title assessment, he took Consort Hu with him to Xinzheng City.”
"Your Majesty, I suggest that while we reinforce the border to guard against Han Feng, we should also select one or two beautiful women to seduce Han Feng and make him indulge in the pleasures of love."
"Moreover, if handled properly, it can also sow discord between Han Feng and the King of Han."
After the minister finished speaking, he shut his mouth.
Upon hearing this, the ministers present began to discuss it amongst themselves, and many nodded in agreement.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Yan frowned slightly.
Only these civil officials could come up with such a scheme.
The King of Chu's eyes lit up.
This plan is brilliant.
Regardless of whether Han Feng is a womanizer or not, sending him a few beauties would bring him many benefits.
The King of Chu straightened his expression and looked at the minister who had just made the suggestion, saying, "This plan is feasible! My dear minister, I entrust this matter to you. You must carefully select a few beauties to send to Han Feng."
The King of Chu made the final decision.
"It is Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, the minister's face lit up with joy, and he quickly clasped his hands in acceptance of the order.
After seeing that Han Feng's matter had been resolved, the King of Chu was able to handle other political affairs with ease.

the other side.
Xinzheng City, General's Mansion.
Mo Ya appeared in the main hall, seemingly with something important to report.
Upon seeing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Ji Wuye's eyes.
