Gancheng, on the border between Qin and Chu.

King Lu, Qin Changle, led the Qin army to Gancheng, where the Chu army surrendered without any resistance.

Inside the tent, Qin Changle cursed loudly.

"What tricks is the Great Chu up to?"

At this moment, a Qin general said, "Your Highness, could this be a ploy to lure us away from our position? Should we return to defend?"

Another general said, "It seems too late to go back to defend. It would be better to attack the cities of Great Chu directly. Once we take them, the army of Great Chu will become like a rootless duckweed."

Upon hearing this, the other generals all agreed.

"That's a good idea!"

"In this way, even if Great Chu temporarily takes our city, it will eventually have to give it back!"

"Of course, I'll leave everything to Your Highness!"

Many generals were looking at Qin Changle, waiting for him to give his final instructions.

Looking at the eager Qin soldiers, Qin Changle clenched his fist, raised his right hand, and commanded, "On my orders, the entire army will attack! Target: the Chu fortress!"

"Yes!"

The Qin soldiers responded without hesitation.

"kill--"

In an instant, the Qin army marched proudly and confidently toward the Chu fortress.

The Chu army, standing on the city walls, were terrified as they watched the Qin army surge like a torrent of steel.

"Report——"

"Report——"

A general ran into the tent, clasped his hands in greeting to Yue Xuanjing, the Minister of War, and said, "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the Qin army is attacking!"

"what?"

Yue Xuanjing's heart skipped a beat. She looked at the general, then ran out and went to the top of the city wall.

Seeing the unstoppable momentum of the Qin army, Yue Xuanjing was completely stunned.

"Quickly, announce the retreat!"

The Moon Mirror's words surprised many people present.

They have a fortified city, and in this situation they want to retreat? Isn't that a joke?

"We cannot fight them head-on; we must proceed cautiously. Now, obey my orders!"

The Moon Mirror knew perfectly well what kind of army the Great Chu was; it was an impossible task for them to contend with the Qin army, which was full of fighting spirit.

The only option is to avoid it, conserve our strength, and then plan our next move gradually!
"retreat!!"

The Chu army retreated very quickly, leaving only the inhabitants of one city behind.

The Qin army arrived somewhat bewildered, staring at the scene in disbelief.

"They abandoned the city and fled?"

King Lu, Qin Changle, frowned. "Send someone in to investigate first!"

Soon, a scout emerged from the Qin army and entered the "Xiyang City" of the Great Chu.

Before long, the scout returned to the Qin army from Xiyang City and reported to Qin Changle.

"Your Highness, the Great Chu army has already retreated completely while we were on our way. Now there are only civilians in Xiyang City."

Qin Changle fell silent after hearing this.

"Let's talk about it after we get into the city!"

Soon, the Qin army occupied the entire city of Xiyang, marking the first victory for Qin in its war against Chu.

Inside the tent, Qin Changle looked at the generals with a solemn expression.

"What exactly is the Great Chu up to?" Qin Changle asked, looking at the many generals present.

The generals looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

"This is too suspicious; there's probably a trap!"

"It couldn't have been just that he was scared out of his wits, could it?"

"Something's wrong. Something's very wrong!"

Many generals were filled with doubt, but dared not make any guarantees.

Qin Changle scratched his head. He hated all these roundabout ways, but there was nothing he could do. Since the other party wasn't being straightforward, Qin Changle was at a loss. "I'll ask the second brother."

Qin Changle began writing a memorial to the throne.

……

……

The Great Chu, the Imperial Palace.

In the Imperial Study, Emperor Qian Yuan and many high-ranking officials of the Great Chu Dynasty gathered together.

A memorial was delivered to Emperor Qianyuan's desk.

"it is good!"

Emperor Qianyuan read the memorial, his face lit up with joy, and he slammed his hand on the table, exclaiming, "Well done!"

When Minister of Personnel Qiu Fentian and others saw this scene, they were all somewhat surprised. Could it be that they had won a battle?
Emperor Qianyuan said, "Minister Yue led our Great Chu army to capture Gan City of Great Qin. What an exciting victory!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Fentian, the Minister of Personnel, and others hesitated.

They were quite familiar with the borders of the Great Chu and Great Qin, but they had never heard of any "Gan City".

At this moment, Emperor Qianyuan completely ignored the expressions of these high-ranking officials and instead loudly proclaimed:
"Men, immediately spread this news throughout the country! Our Great Chu has achieved a remarkable victory in its military campaign against Great Qin!"

"Yes," the hoarse-voiced eunuch beside him replied.

At this moment, a map suddenly appeared in the hand of Qiu Fentian, the Minister of Personnel. After examining it carefully, he discovered that Gancheng was actually a "city" that was not much larger than a village.

"Your Majesty, Gan City is located here..."

Qiu Fentian was somewhat embarrassed, but he also knew that if he allowed this news to spread throughout the country and was discovered by someone with ulterior motives, he might become a laughing stock.

"what?"

Emperor Qian Yuan was somewhat suspicious, then he glanced at the markings on the map and was completely stunned, his face turning bright red in an instant.

So embarrassing!

"Moon Mirror! How dare you play me like this?!"

Emperor Qianyuan was furious.

He was tricked once by Prince Ning of Qin, Qin Changfeng, and once by Emperor Daxing, Qin Changqing. Now even Yue Xuanjing, the Minister of War, is trying to trick him?!
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

Minister of Personnel Qiu Fentian hurriedly said, "You have repeatedly asked Minister Yue to achieve results in the battle, so perhaps he has no other choice."

"Humph."

Emperor Qianyuan snorted coldly.

Autumn Burning Sky and Moon Hanging Mirror are naturally in cahoots.

To put it bluntly, even if the Great Chu falls, these guys will still live in luxury and wealth; it's just that their royal family will suffer.

"Your Majesty, should this decree be issued?" Qiu Fentian looked at Emperor Qian Yuan, feeling somewhat guilty.

If this gets out and spreads throughout the country, it could become a laughing stock for the whole world.

"Continue the announcement!"

Emperor Qianyuan's expression was uncertain, but he ultimately decided to continue the message.

The reputation of this emperor in the entire Great Chu is now terrible; he must deliver a satisfactory result.

Take Amagi!

This was the explanation given by Emperor Qianyuan.

As for being discovered and becoming a laughing stock, that's unlikely, because most of the people of the Great Chu don't even know where Gan City is.

It doesn't matter if a small number of people know the truth; what's important is to change the winds.

"Yes." Minister of Personnel Qiu Fentian nodded.

This was Emperor Qian Yuan's own choice; no one forced him. If problems arise, he will take the blame himself.

Just then, Emperor Qianyuan continued to peruse the memorials, then his eyes widened, he flew into a rage, and smashed the table in front of him.

"Bastard!"

"Moon Mirror, I'm going to kill you!"

Emperor Qianyuan was furious.

"Get that order back to me immediately!!"
