Since Han Xin sent someone to beg him, Xu Feng did not intend to refuse.
But the benefits still have to be given, just like Xu Feng sent Huang Zhong to Shouchun to assist the Han army, the other party has to pay some price.
"Okay, I can send troops, how does King Qi plan to repay me?"
Xu Feng said immediately.
When Xunyu heard that Xu Feng agreed to send troops, he was overjoyed.
Then, he walked to Qin Jun's map, drew a large area in the south of Sishui County, and said, "My king said.
After the defeat of Chu State in this battle, you can take ten cities south of Sishui County and south of Zhuyi as a thank you. "
Xu Feng looked towards the south of Sishui County, his face was gloomy, and he said displeasedly: "Qi envoy, are you sure this is the original intention of King Qi?
If this is the case, then please go back.
I can't afford those ten cities in Sishui County. "
Xu Feng was angry for a reason.
Xu Feng thought that this time Han Xin was really going to let go and take a piece of the fat in his mouth.
In the end, he planned to give Xu Feng a chicken butt, which was a poisonous one.
It's no wonder Xu Feng changed his face instantly at this moment.
In fact, the ten cities in the south of Sishui County are just south of Pengcheng, with a large area and a large population.
But the reason why Xu Feng was unwilling to take it was because once he wanted the ten cities in the south of Sishui County, it would be tantamount to protruding a large part of his territory to the east.
It happened to be between the territory of Han Xin and Liu Bang in the future, and Xu Feng knew without thinking that this territory was simply tasteless to him.
On Xu Feng's side, for more than half a month, he even spared no expense in mobilizing the Qin army and spending a lot of money and food to evacuate the people from the seven or eight cities in the south of Chen Jun to the north of Chen Jun.
The purpose is to establish a vast buffer area in the south, how can it be sandwiched between Han Xin and Liu Bang now.
When Qi envoy Xunyu saw that Xu Feng was angry, he immediately changed his words: "Qin Huang calmed down because the emissary was confused, he must have misunderstood my king's meaning.
What my lord means is that the people of the ten cities in the south of Sishui County are given to His Majesty as a kindness of my lord.
After we reach Pengcheng, in addition to the number of relocated people agreed upon by my king and His Majesty, His Majesty can also relocate the people in the ten cities in the south of Sishui County. "
At this moment, Xun Yu's heart was bleeding, he would not have tried Xu Feng if he had known.
This is a good time, and 10,000+ people in ten cities have been lost all of a sudden!
But there is no way, Xunyu has to pay the due price for his little thought just now.
After hearing Xunyu's words, Xu Feng's expression softened.
"Yeah. King Qi's kindness, I have received it.
Now the Qi envoy can talk about what King Qi plans to use in exchange for my sending troops to help! "
Xun Yu became honest now, and he no longer dared to play tricks, so he honestly told the price that Han Xin offered him at the beginning.
"Your Majesty, my great king has said that as long as His Majesty is willing to send troops.
After the Chu State was destroyed, my king is willing to give up Xingyang, Huai County, and the seven surrounding cities.
At that time, our army will retreat to Juan County, Yangwu and Daliang, and our two armies will be separated by a gap.
I wonder if His Majesty is willing? "
Xunyu said.
After Xun Yu finished speaking, Xu Feng seemed calm on the surface, but he was actually excited inside.
He didn't expect that Han Xin would be so generous this time, and directly let Xing Yang out.
You know, more than half a year ago, when Qi Jun and Qin Jun captured Luoyang and Xingyang respectively, they almost fought and completely tore their faces.
At that time, Han Xin's posture showed that Xingyang was determined to win.
In the end, Xu Feng had no choice but to stop his attack on Xingyang after acquiring Luoyang, otherwise a war would break out between the two sides.
But now, Han Xin actually agreed to hand over Xingyang and even Huai County, another big city, to Daqin. This is definitely very "generous".
However, Xu Feng soon figured it out in his heart.
In fact, there is a reason for Han Xin's generosity.
At the beginning, Han Xin had to capture Xingyang, but he had no choice but to think that Xingyang's position was important. If he captured Xingyang, he could block the Qin army's front to the west of Xingyang.
In this way, Xu Feng has no chance to get involved in Dang County.
But now, Han Xin has broken through Daliang, half of Dang County has fallen into his hands, and the role of Xingyang is useless.
At this time, Han Xin used Xingyang and the nine cities of Huai County as bargaining chips in exchange for the Qin army sending troops to attack Suiyang, which was absolutely worth it.
As long as the Qin army breaks through Suiyang and Han Xin defeats the main force of the Chu army under Xiang Yu's command, the remaining half of Dang County will also fall into Han Xin's hands.
Han Xin felt that it was a good deal to exchange the nine cities of Xingyang for half of Dang County.
And Xu Feng is quite satisfied with Han Xin's price, which is a hundred times stronger than the ten cities in the south of Sishui County that Xun Yu said before.
Anyway, on Dangjun's side, no matter whether Han Xin wins Xiang Yu or loses to Xiang Yu, it will be difficult for the Qin army to get it.
On the contrary, the position of Xingyang is very important to the Qin army.
After all, Xingyang is the gateway to the east of Luoyang.
One day in the hands of the Qi army, Xingyang is like a sharp sword hanging over Luoyang's head.
If such an important position is not in his own hands, Xu Feng will never feel at ease.

Even if Han Xin doesn't offer this condition, Xu Feng will find a way later to get Xingyang back from the Qi army.
Even if the time comes to tear face with Han Xin, it will not hesitate.
Immediately, Xu Feng stood up and said to Xunyu: "Okay, since King Qi is so sincere, I can agree to send troops.
But, the time for handing over the Nine Cities of Xingyang needs to be changed, and we can't wait until Xiang Yu is destroyed. "
"When does His Majesty want?"
"When I send troops to attack Suiyang, join forces with King Qi, and defeat Xiang Yu in Dangjun, King Qi will fulfill this promise."
"Then follow His Majesty's wishes."
Xunyu thought for a while, and agreed after a while.
"OK."
After Xunyu agreed, Xu Feng said with a smile, he was in a good mood, and he didn't expect so many surprises.
"I don't know, Your Majesty, how many days can we send troops?" Xun Yu asked quickly.
"Emissary Qi, don't worry, I will immediately issue an order to recall the relocated people from all over the place, and it will take about three or four days.
When the men and horses are assembled, I will immediately lead the army to attack Suiyang. "
"it is good."
As soon as Xunyu heard it, it only took three or four days, and he agreed to give the order.
Han Xin has been blocked by the Chu army for two months in Dang County, and he has waited for two months, so it is not short of three or four days.
At the beginning of December in the seventh year of Qin II, Xu Feng sent out a few soldiers and horses in Chen County to relocate the people, greeted them all, and marched eastward.
On December [-], Xu Feng led more than [-] Qin troops across Tuo County and entered Dang County.
At this time, the Qin army led by Xu Feng was only less than sixty miles away from Suiyang City to the east.
The Qin army only needs to walk through the mountains and dense forests in this area before they can reach the city of Suiyang.
At this time, in Suiyang City, food and grass for the Chu army were stored.
Once Suiyang is lost, the 20 Chu army led by Xiang Yu, who is still fighting with Han Xin in Chenliu and Xiangyi, will collapse without a fight.
Because of the importance of Suiyang, Xiang Liang personally led the army to sit in the town.
And half a month ago, when the Qin army captured Chen county, Xiang Liang had already received the news in Suiyang.
At that time, Xiang Liang was also terrified, so he immediately monitored the movement of the Qin army in Chenjun.
In fact, the Qin army in Chen County wanted to attack Suiyang, and the Chu army had no troops to defend in this direction.
Fortunately, Qin Jun remained silent afterwards, which made Xiang Liang heave a sigh of relief.
But Xiang Liang's surveillance of Chen county has not been relaxed.
When Xu Feng led more than [-] Qin troops, he left Chen County and marched eastward.
The next night, Xiang Liang was in Suiyang when he received the news.
"Quickly, tell Overlord this news, and make him prepare to withdraw from Xiangyi."
"In addition, gather 4 horses and go out with this general."
After Xiang Liang received the news, he issued two orders.
Xiang Liang knew very well that once the Qin army joined the Dangjun battlefield, Suiyang would not be able to defend it.
Only let Xiang Yu abandon Xiangyi and retreat to Suiyang. On Suiyang's side, he will fight the final decisive battle with the Qin and Qi armies.
And Xiang Yu wanted to withdraw his troops under Han Xin's nose, which was not easy, but probably took a lot of time.
At this time, Xiang Liang needed to lead the army to temporarily block the Qin army in the mountains and forests to the west, preventing them from entering the boundary of Suiyang.
On the [-]th, Xu Feng led the army through Qingmang Mountain. From here to Suiyang, there is only one mountain road that can pass.
"Spread out all the scouts and explore the way forward."
Seeing the surrounding mountains surrounded by dense forests, Xu Feng also frowned and had to be cautious.
In such a terrain environment, once the Qin army is ambushed by the Chu army, more than 6 Qin troops may be destroyed in one battle.
Qin Jun advanced another three or four miles, and a bamboo forest in front of him was surrounded by thick fog.
"Stop!"
Xu Feng gave the order.
"Your Majesty has orders, stop advancing."
As the Qin army's messengers shouted, the long queue of more than 6 Qin troops soon stopped advancing.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about the danger in the bamboo forest ahead?"
Guo Jia came over on horseback and said to Xu Feng.
"Ah."
Xu Feng nodded slightly, looking at the large bamboo forest in front of him, feeling a little restless.
"Did any of the scouts sent out come back to report?"
Xu Feng asked Guo Jia.
"Not yet, it should be soon after calculation."
"Then wait."
"But Your Majesty, if the march is delayed, our army may not be able to get out of this forest before dark."
Guo Jia said.
You know, camping in the mountains is very dangerous.
"I know, just wait for a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, someone from our scout team should come back."
Xu Feng made up his mind to wait for the scouts to come back and report the situation before entering the bamboo forest.
And at this time, on the outskirts of this bamboo forest, under the fallen leaves all over the ground, there was a pair of eyes staring at Qin Jun outside the bamboo forest.
Beside them, there were still several corpses of Qin Army scouts.
"Damn it, why did these Qin soldiers suddenly stop?"
A Chu soldier said angrily in a low voice.
