Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

Ying Zheng was very shocked by Han Xing's death.

He didn't expect Chu Ning to be so ruthless that he could even kill Han Xing, the military god of the Chu State.

As a last resort, he could only order the release of those descendants of the previous royal family who were under control.

He can't let Chu Ning catch him after he is defeated!

If this matter were to be exposed, he would definitely be ridiculed by people all over the world, who would think that Ying Zheng was afraid of Chu Ning and that was why he used such means to threaten Han Xing to be his accomplice.

The best way to resolve this matter is to get ahead of Chu Ning and let those people go.

In this way, even if Chu Ning told others the inside story of Han Xing's betrayal, he would have an excuse to fight back.

Of course, this is not what he is most worried about now.

Now that Chu Ning has executed Han Xing, he will surely launch an all-out attack next. He must think of a countermeasure in advance.

Fortunately, after this defeat, he had sent someone to invite a soldier to rescue the situation, and the time was almost right, so he took the opportunity to introduce him to the generals.

Half an hour later.

Upon receiving the news, the Qin army generals rushed over.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed in unison.

Ying Zheng glanced at everyone present and saw that the leading seats were empty. A hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

Gaine died, Bai Qi died, Sima Cuo and his imperial guard commander Meng Zhi also died.

In this battle, the Qin army suffered heavy losses.

"Generals, there is no need to be so polite."

Ying Zhengqiang pulled himself together and said solemnly, "I just received a message from Chu Ning that he has found Han Xing, the spy I arranged in their army, and killed him."

When these words were spoken, all the generals were shocked.

"Your Majesty, may I ask if this Han Xing is the man known as the military god of the Chu State?"

Some brave generals stepped forward and asked.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "Yes, it is him. I thought that if I could control this man, I would be able to completely destroy the Chu army here in one battle!"

"I never thought that Chu Ning actually saw through this person in advance, and even faked his own death, deliberately using this person to pass on false information to me, causing me to make the wrong decision."

Everyone reacted after hearing this.

No wonder their emperor dared to lead the army in person. It turned out that it was because he had mastered the military god of Chu and was sure of winning the battle.

It’s a pity that I don’t know where the error occurred, leading to the current result.

However, Han Xing's death was also good news for them.

Without Han Xing, they don't have to worry about being suppressed in the deployment of troops.

"Your Majesty, this matter has both advantages and disadvantages for our dynasty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry too much."

"Even if there is no internal support, our dynasty can still stop the Chu army with its solid city defenses."

Although the generals were shocked by Han Xing's killing, they were also excited at the same time. After all, with one less military god, they would not be under too much pressure when facing the Chu army in the future.

However, they themselves did not realize that they were actually thinking about defense instead of counterattack.

Ying was listening to what everyone said and felt extremely annoyed.

He thought that Qin was the strongest country in the world, with elite soldiers and generals under his command, so he should be able to look down on everyone.

But now, these people are thinking about how to defend, which is so hateful!

All of this was brought about by Chu Ning.

But he couldn't say anything, because if he did, it would affect morale.

At this time, he should not let everyone feel discouraged, but encourage them to regroup!

Taking a deep breath, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Generals, the Chu army has been fighting continuously, and the soldiers are tired. They will definitely rest for a short time and will not attack."

"Now I have ordered the mobilization of 20,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry to support us. We will be able to resist in a few days."

"Also, I have ordered the preparation of food and supplies, which will arrive in three days."

"Also, this time I have invited the famous scholar Zhang Yi from the country. He is very talented and I believe he can bring me a strategy to defeat the enemy!"

When these words came out, the generals were overjoyed.

"If 70,000 soldiers come to support us, our army will surely win."

"I didn't expect that His Majesty had already made preparations. It seems that we were worrying too much."

"Once the food and supplies arrive, it will be time for our army to counterattack."

"I have heard of Zhang Yi's talent. I wonder how he can save our dynasty from this crisis."

Just as everyone was discussing this, a soldier came forward to report: "Your Majesty, there is a man outside the door named Zhang Yi, who said he was ordered to come to see Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng was overjoyed and quickly stood up and shouted, "Please invite Mr. Zhang in!"

A moment later, a thin, fair-looking middle-aged man wearing a blue gown walked slowly over.

Ying Zheng excitedly stepped forward and, before the man could speak, he took the initiative to say, "I've heard of Mr. Zhang Yi's name for a long time, but I've never had the chance to meet him!"

Zhang Yi bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty is busy with many things every day. How dare I, a humble commoner, meet you in person?"

This statement has some self-deprecating tone, but it also shows that this person has a patriotic heart.

As long as you are patriotic, it will be easy!

Ying Zheng took Zhang Yi's hand and introduced him to everyone: "This is Mr. Zhang Yi!"

All the generals bowed and saluted in unison: "Greetings, Mr. Zhang!"

Seeing Ying Zheng like this, Zhang Yi was somewhat touched and quickly bowed in return: "Greetings, generals."

At this time, Ying Zheng sighed: "Our army is currently in an unfavorable situation. We do not have an advantage in terms of troops and horses, we are short of food and supplies, and our morale is low. Sir, do you have any strategy to defeat the enemy?"

He didn't waste any words and asked for strategies to defeat the enemy as soon as he arrived.

Zhang Yi's face straightened and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Chu army is now in full force. If we fight head-on, it will definitely be disadvantageous to our army!

I have a plan that will make Chu point its spearhead at Wei without sacrificing a single soldier."

As soon as these words came out, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up: "Speak quickly, sir."

Zhang Yi said calmly: "This time, the Crown Prince of Chu, Chu Ning, personally led his troops here. On the one hand, it is because our army is approaching the border, and on the other hand, it is for Princess Changping."

"If Your Majesty marries Princess Changping to Cao Zhang, the son of the Wei emperor, Chu Ning will be furious and will vent his anger on the Wei Kingdom."

"Besides, the Wei Kingdom and Chu Ning have had many conflicts. I believe Chu Ning also wants to destroy the Wei Kingdom."

"Sending Princess Changping to Wei will give Chu Ning a reason to send troops to Wei."

When these words were spoken, all the generals were stunned. No one expected that Zhang Yi would come up with such a plan.

Ying Zheng was also slightly stunned, but then he raised his eyebrows and said: "Although this plan is good, there are two obstacles!"

"The first is Emperor Cao De of Wei. He is no mediocre person. I'm afraid he will not accept the marriage between Princess Changping and Cao Zhang."

"The second one is Chu Ning. He has the upper hand now. How could he give up the advantage so easily at this moment?"

Zhang Yi laughed loudly: "As for Cao De, Your Majesty only needs to write a letter to him, saying that if Wei refuses this marriage proposal, our dynasty will send troops to Wei!"

"Wei is now at war with the Han. What they are most worried about is our dynasty sending out troops. Once this letter arrives, Cao De will definitely not dare to refuse."

"As for the Crown Prince of Chu, I am willing to go to Yucheng in person to lobby for him!"
