Yuzhou, Yidu Prefecture, the border of Zheng and Tang.
The military camps of the Three Nations, Zheng, Jin, and Xu.
Inside a grand and majestic tent, which resembled a palace, the emperors of the three nations gathered to discuss the recent envoy from Xu State.
"The situation is as such,"
the Emperor of Xu Country said with a sigh after rubbing his aching head, "The people of Xu can't hold on any longer. If we don't support them soon, I fear Xu State will have to abandon its power in Qingzhou and flee back to its old home in Xuzhou, up North.
Once they flee, they will not only have abandoned the gains from their expansion over the past decade in Central State, including the most crucial population and food reserves, but also have completely lost them.
A Xu State that only retains Xuzhou won't even be able to maintain its position as the hegemon.
Such a weakened Xu State will be of no help to our grand strategy against Chu in the future."
