On the way to Xingyang, Huang Zhong was ambushed by the Qi army led by Han Xin and defeated back.

At this time, Xingyang had already fallen into the hands of the Qi army.

Han Xin kept hiding this news and waited for the Qin army to send troops to Xingyang to ambush the Qin army halfway.

It can be said that from this battle, the Qinqi alliance that had been barely maintained before was fragile and vulnerable.

"Damn Han Xin, I can't spare you."

When Xu Feng looked at Huang Zhong and fled back to Luoyang with less than 3,000 Qin troops, Xu Feng said gritting his teeth.

Since Xingyang has been occupied by Han Xin, Xu Feng has not sent any new troops to him. At this time, Xu Feng does not want to have a big battle with Han Xin.

Not only Xu Feng, but Han Xin is the same.

After Han Xin ambushed and repelled Huang Zhong's men, he led his troops back to Xingyang and sent an envoy to Luoyang to explain to Xu Feng.

Han Xin asked Qi to bring a batch of money and food as a supplement to this "misunderstanding".

According to the persuasion of this Qi envoy, the Qi army ambushed Huang Zhong's troops, which was a misunderstanding. Han Xin originally wanted to ambush the Chu army.

Faced with Qi Envoy's words, Xu Feng cursed Han Xin in his heart.

"This kind of argument is a lie!"

But on the surface, he entertained the Qi envoy who came here and expressed his forgiveness for the accidental injury of Qi Jun, and accepted the money and food sent by Han Xin.

Moreover, when Qi Envoy left, Xu Feng asked him to bring his handwritten letter to Han Xin.

In the letter, Han Xin was first praised, and then emphasized the importance of the Qin-Qi alliance, hoping to continue to maintain an alliance with Han Xin.

After receiving this letter from Xu Feng, Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied, agreeing with Xu Feng's proposal, and the Qin Qi alliance continued to maintain it.

The reason why Xu Feng and Han Xin are so cautious is that neither of them wants to start a fight first at this time.

At this time, there were only four players left in the Huaxia card game, Xu Feng, Han Xin, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.

In this case, no one wants to play the cards first.

At least you have to find an alliance first to avoid becoming the target of public criticism. If you are besieged by other three parties, that would be bad.

This is also what Xu Feng is most worried about.

After all, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were hostile to the Qin Dynasty.

After thinking about it, Xu Feng seemed to have only one Han Xin, who was an ally he could win over.

Therefore, even though Xu Feng knew clearly that Han Xin deliberately set up an ambush and ambushed Huang Zhong's troops, Xu Feng still chose to endure it.

Han Xin did not border Liu Bang's territory, so Han Xin didn't have to worry about Liu Bang, he just needed to be wary of Daqin and Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu and Han Xin are already deadly enemies, and Han Xin cannot form an alliance with Xiang Yu, so he can only choose to continue to maintain the alliance with Daqin.

But in fact, Xu Feng and Han Xin both knew in their hearts that they were just taking their own needs and continued to maintain this fragile covenant.

Once one day, Xu Feng or Han Xin relieves his worries, he may immediately turn around and attack the other party.

"Your Majesty, Han Xin still wants to maintain his alliance with us, so he must be prepared to use troops against Xiang Yu.

If the Weichen had expected it would not take long before Liu Bang from Bashu would soon send someone to form an alliance with us."

On this day, Guo Jia was telling Xu Feng about the strategic deployment of Daqin.

"Fengxiao, wait."

Suddenly, when Xu Feng heard Guo Jia's words, he nodded instinctively at first.

But after a moment, Xu Feng suddenly realized something was wrong and stopped Guo Jia's story.

"Fengxiao, you said that Liu Bang might send someone over soon to form an alliance with us? How is this possible?

Don’t you know what our relationship with Liu Bang is?”

Xu Feng finds it hard to believe Guo Jia's analysis.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, listen to me.

First of all, for Liu Bang, because he is located in Bashu, it is an easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack place, and only borders Xiang Yu in the east.

For Liu Bang, the rugged mountainous areas in Bashu were destined to be difficult for them to fight against them, and it was not easy for them to fight against them.

If Liu Bang wants to expand his power next, he has only two choices.

Either go north to attack us or go east to attack Xiang Yu.

If Liu Bang wanted to attack us, he had to go north from Hanzhong.

But unfortunately, Hanzhong has been seized by us now.

The terrain of Hanzhong is complicated, and it is not easy for the Han army to retake it. I guess Liu Bang will not forget the lessons learned from the previous one.

In addition, Guanzhong is the foundation of our Qin Dynasty, with many troops. It is a dream that Liu Bang wanted to invade Guanzhong.

On the contrary, to the east, the original hinterland of Chu State was more conducive to Liu Bang's dispatch of troops.

Xiang Yu's foundation is in the territory of Wu and Yue in the east and the territory bordering Liu Bang in the west. The defenders have weak power and are suitable for attack.

So, if I were Zhang Liang, then I would propose to Liu Bang to form an alliance with us, attack Chu eastward and expand my power.

Zhang Liang and Liu Bang are not ordinary people. We can see through these things, and Zhang Liang can also see through them.

To be honest, a real man can bend and stretch.

I believe that as long as Zhang Liang explained the pros and cons to Liu Bang, even if Liu Bang was reluctant, he would send someone to form an alliance with us."

After listening to Guo Jia's speech, Xu Feng still couldn't believe it.

"When Xiao, if Liu Bang really sends someone to form an alliance with us, will I agree?"

Xu Feng asked.

"Of course we have to agree.

Promising Liu Bang's alliance at this moment will benefit us or not.

Besides, our alliance with Han Xin and Liu Bang is not a real allies at all, it is just a mutual use.

In the future, if you want to turn against each other, you can do it anytime.”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said.

In mid-August, Xu Feng led the Qin army back to Xianyang.

When Xu Feng rushed back to Xianyang, he received news from Zhuge Liang that the envoy sent by Liu Bang had been waiting in Xianyang for several days.

"He's really here, I really made Bongxiao tell me."

Guo Jia, who was standing beside him, smiled slightly without saying a word.

"Let the messenger sent by Han Xin come and see me."

After the messenger sent by Liu Bang explained his meaning, Xu Feng couldn't help but lit up his eyes. He glanced at Guo Jia next to him from the corner of his eyes, and reached out to give him a thumbs up.

"You go back and tell the King of Han that I am willing to form an alliance with him.

In the future, no troops will be allowed to be stationed within twenty miles of our junction."

Xu Feng said to the Han envoy.

After the Han envoy returned, Liu Bang was also very happy to learn that Xu Feng agreed to form an alliance.

"Fengxiao, now we have formed an alliance with Han Xin and Liu Bang for the time being. Who will we fight next? Could it be Xiang Yu?"
