Chapter 701 Xiang Ji admits his mistake [Please subscribe*Please vote]

"This time, I invited all the princes and princes here because I hope that you can persuade the court to agree to withdraw the troops!" Xiang Liang continued.

"Since we have won a great victory, why don't we pursue the victory and attack Linzi instead of withdrawing our troops?" asked Prince Fu Chu with a frown.

"It's not difficult to defeat Bingzhou's army, but we can't completely offend Bingzhou."

"We still need to rely on Bingzhou to contain Qin. Three small victories will be enough. We also need to give Bingzhou some face, otherwise Bingzhou may not be willing to help us contain Qin."

"Sir, please consider the overall situation first."

Xiang Liang and Ji Bu spoke one after another, trying to persuade this group of playboys.

Master Fu Chu thought about it and it seemed to be true.

The fancy sedan is carried by people, and even if they win, they have to give Bingzhou a way out.

If they really don't give Bingzhou a way out, what if Bingzhou no longer helps them to contain the Qin State? They won't be able to bear this responsibility.

"So, what do you mean?" Prince Fu Chu asked Xiang Liang and Ji Bu.

"Withdraw from Yangdu and hand it over to Bingzhou so that they can report to Qi!" Ji Bu said seriously.

Fu Chu hesitated for a moment, a little hesitant.

"If you want a dog to be obedient, you have to give it some bones after beating it." Ji Bu continued.

Fu Chu and other noble children thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth. A dog will bite its owner if it is pushed into a corner.

Now that they have taught the Bingzhou army a lesson, they must of course reward them with a bone, so that this dog of Bingzhou will listen to them and continue to bite the Qin State.

As for Yangdu, a city without even a brothel, what would be wrong with just giving it to Bingzhou?

"Okay, in that case, you guys go and make the arrangements. I will explain to my father." Young Master Fu Chu nodded and agreed to the withdrawal.

After walking out of the villa, Bambu punched the willow tree on the roadside.

"It's useless for the general to get angry. These young masters are just like that. You can't explain to them in professional terms. They only want to hear what they want to hear."

"As for us, we just need to get what we want. As for the process, it's actually not that important!"

Xiang Liang sighed.

If possible, who would want to do this?
But there was no way out. Chunshen Jun was dead, General Xiang Yan was dead, and the court was filled with these flatterers.

These people can't accomplish anything big, but they are first-rate at doing bad things.

Why is there no brothel in Yangdu? Because it is the first military town in the south of Qi State and the southern gateway of Qi State!

Once this city was lost, all the cities in the south of Qi State would return to the hands of Qi State.

But do they need to explain the importance of this city to these young masters?

It does not need!
All they want is to evacuate Yangdu and find a suitable person or group of people to take the blame.

Although Bambu is upright, it doesn't mean that he is incapable of adapting. He just feels a little depressed.

With someone to take the blame, Xiang Liang, Ji Bu and Bambu quickly arranged the evacuation.

"Young Master won't leave?"

In the Tenglong Legion camp, Xiang Liang frowned as he looked at the young Xiang Ji.

"My uncle taught me to read and swordsmanship, but I refused to learn in depth. I thought that reading and writing could only make a person famous and fight against one person. Even if my uncle taught me the art of war that could defeat ten thousand enemies, I would not learn it in depth."

"I thought that with my talent and natural powers, even if I didn't need to learn too much, no one would be my opponent."

“It wasn’t until I met Bingzhou that I realized I was too proud.”

Xiang Ji looked at Xiang Liang and bowed to admit his mistake.

Xiang Ji felt mixed emotions when he saw Xiang Ji was willing to admit his mistakes.

Xiang Ji had followed Xiang Yan since he was a child, so he looked down on anyone in Chu State. Even his own teachings were difficult for Xiang Ji to accept. He was too talented, so he was a little arrogant.

Such pride will not suffer any loss in the State of Chu even when facing many outstanding people.

But the world is too big, and this pride cannot take him far.

If this defeat could make Xiang Ji realize his own shortcomings and let go of his pride, it might actually be a good thing.

But the price is a bit too high.

It took tens of thousands of casualties in the Tenglong Corps for Xiang Ji to give up his pride.

"Since you can recognize your mistakes and let go of your pride, you should go back with your uncle and learn again!" Xiang Liang felt relieved, but also a little sad.

Tens of thousands of casualties, the price to pay is too high.

"Who is better at military strategy, my uncle or General Li Ren?" Xiang Ji did not agree to Xiang Liang's request and asked Xiang Liang instead.

"Of course it's General Li Ren!" Xiang Liang did not hesitate.

Even if Xiang Yan were still alive, he wouldn't dare to say that he was stronger than Li Ren.

Even the current Li Mu might not dare to say that he is stronger than his son.

"Whose martial arts are better, my uncle's or Yun Danu's?" Xiang Ji continued to ask.

In the past two days, they also checked Yun Danu's identity and found out that he was not an unknown person. It was just that the State of Chu was too closed and they didn't know that Yun Danu was the Spear King in the Clouds and the disciple of Emperor Xuanwu himself.

Xiang Liang was silent. With the older generation not showing up, Emperor Xuanwu had already become known as the best master in the world.

Yun Danu was a direct disciple of Emperor Xuanwu, so how could he compare to him?
"In terms of knowledge, who is better, my uncle or Bingzhou?" Xiang Ji continued to pierce Xiang Liang's heart without giving up.

Xiang Liang was ashamed to face him.

The State of Chu had never been the first choice for scholars all over the world, but Bingzhou, because of its openness, absorbed a large group of frustrated scholars and recruited only the most talented. Therefore, the academic atmosphere in Bingzhou became the most prosperous today, even surpassing the former Jixia Academy.

"So, you plan to go to Bingzhou?" How could Xiang Liang not understand Xiang Ji's thoughts.

After saying so much, isn't it just that you think you are inferior to Bingzhou in every aspect and want to go to Bingzhou to study?

But he couldn't refute it, it was true that he was not as skilled as others.

"I will stay in Yangdu!" Xiang Ji shook his head.

Bingzhou is too far away, and the Xiang family has no influence in Bingzhou. Even if he goes to Bingzhou, he may not be able to get the learning environment he wants.

Xiang Liang frowned. The Bingzhou army would definitely move into Yangdu, and even in the next few years, the Bingzhou army would be stationed in Yangdu.

Xiang Ji's safety might not be guaranteed if he stayed in Yangdu.

"Since the Bingzhou army let me back, they will certainly not kill me. I don't have to worry about my safety staying in Yangdu." Xiang Ji said confidently.

Xiang Liang nodded. Bingzhou did not want to fight to the death with them, so Xiang Ji was able to come back alive.

Since Bingzhou let Xiang Ji go once, it would naturally not kill Xiang Ji again.

"Okay then!" Xiang Liang finally agreed.

Xiang Ji let go of his pride, but not completely.

Even if he wanted to learn, he would learn from people like Li Ren and Yun Danu, not himself.

Thinking of this, Xiang Liang sighed a little. Emperor Xuanwu had sent people to invite them to send Xiang Ji to Bingzhou to study.

It’s a pity that they were rejected, thinking that the environment in Bingzhou was not as good as that of their Xiang family.

Who would have thought that after going around in circles, Xiang Ji still had to learn from Bingzhou.

But if they had agreed at the beginning, Xiang Ji would have been the direct disciple of Emperor Xuanwu. But now he can only be the disciple of the direct disciple of Emperor Xuanwu.
