Chapter 234

The grain prices in the State of Han continued to soar.

Han Fei took Wei Zhuang and embarked on the journey to the Wei Guo. On the way, he constantly turned his brain, thinking about various things that might happen in the Wei Guo, to think of ways to deal with them in advance, just to be able to borrow grain.

However, it never rains but it pours.

Just at this time, the army of the Qin Guo also made a move, arriving at the Wu Sui border again, looking ready to take action against the State of Han at any time.

After the scouts at the border discovered this, they immediately sent the news back to Xinzheng.

When the monarch and ministers in the court, led by the Crown Prince of Han, learned of this news, they could not help but be terrified.

Again?

Why say "again"?

Because last year, the Qin Guo used the excuse of the envoy being murdered to send an army of 100,000, approaching the border and bringing a great crisis to the State of Han. In the end, the Crown Prince of Han, with great humiliation, ceded land and offered cities to appease the anger of the Qin Guo.

This time, there was no murdered Qin envoy in the State of Han.

The Qin Guo suddenly sent a large army at this time, which looked like they were coming with ill intent, preparing to take advantage of the drought in the State of Han to take advantage of the State of Han.

At this time, the monarch and ministers of the State of Han did not realize that the true goal of the Qin Guo was to destroy the Six States and unify the world. They only thought that the Qin Guo was preparing to send a large army to attack the State of Han as in the past, taking the opportunity to plunder the land and cities of the State of Han.

But even to plunder the cities and land of the State of Han, this price was not something the current State of Han could bear.

Since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the State of Han had been repeatedly defeated by the Qin Guo. Now, its territory was constantly shrinking. Last year, it had painfully ceded a piece of territory to the Qin Guo. If it were plundered by the Qin Guo again now, the State of Han would completely cease to be a country.

Facing the aggressive Qin army, the monarch and ministers of the State of Han were terrified. The only thing they were fortunate about was that the Qin army finally stationed at the border and did not act rashly.

But there were also clear-headed people who knew why.

Because the Qin Guo was also in a severe drought this year. Although the national strength of the Qin Guo was much stronger than that of the State of Han and could survive this drought, it was obviously not suitable to act rashly at this time. The army stationed at the border of the two countries was obviously waiting for the State of Han to fall into chaos because of this severe drought!

If the State of Han fell into chaos because of the drought, even if the Qin Guo was also in a drought, it would not take much effort to take action against the State of Han.

Because at that time, the State of Han would be in chaos itself and unable to take care of itself, so where would it get the strength to resist the Qin Guo?

To resolve this crisis, first, they needed to stabilize the disaster situation in the country.
