The minister and generals would rather not oppose their King in front of the Chu state messenger.
All the ministers and generals knew going to war with the Chu state was almost impossible.
Let alone winning, there was even trouble getting a hundred thousand men, and a campaign of that size would require more than that.
To be exact, at least four hundred thousand men.
Ying Zheng knew that, so did the ministers.
But that tactic achieved success, considering how the Chu state sent a new messenger just a day after the other one reached the Chu state.
There were even rumors saying that the old messenger was executed.
The action of executing the messenger caused rebellions in the state of Chu, and that was not the worst part.
The state of Qi and Wei attacked the state of Chu.
And considering how the state of Chu was weakened due to conquering and absorbing nearby states.
