"That is to return to King Huai.King Huai was furious and sent his troops to attack Qin.Chen Zhen said again: "Fighting Qin is not a plan. It is better to conquer Qi because of its famous capital. If I die in Qin and get compensation from Qi, our country can still be complete. Now the king is no longer in Qi.

And Yi used to entrust Chu. According to the agreement between Shang and Yu, there is evil in the current war between Qin and Chu, and I am puzzled by thanking Chu face to face. Besides, the king is here, and it is not appropriate for Chu to dare to take Yi. Sincerely kill Yi for the sake of the country, and this is what I wish." Yi then sent Chu to Chu.

The world will see that Chu has no Qin, and the king will be despised."
