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

"Your Highness, it's late at night, you should go back to your room and rest."

At the door, Zhao Yu bowed to Chu Ning after seeing Su Tingmei off.

But Chu Ning shook his head and turned back to the yard.

Zhao Yu did not disturb them, but just stood at the door guarding.

Chu Ning was pacing back and forth in the yard, thinking about Qin's purpose and the next response strategy.

Of course, the more important one is Princess Changping.

In fact, he has done his best so far.

But he still couldn't understand why Princess Changping showed mercy when she wanted to kill him.

Therefore, his biggest purpose in rescuing Princess Changping was to get to the bottom of this matter.

When Princess Changping struck that sword, she did use all her strength at the beginning, but she only held back at the end.

He couldn't understand how Princess Changping made up her mind to strike with that sword.

Neither her eyes nor her aura seemed fake at that time. He was sure that Princess Changping really wanted to kill him!

It's just that for some unknown reason, the power of the sword became lighter in the end.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning suddenly turned around and looked at Zhao Yu at the door and asked:

"General Zhao, what do you think? If I give up rescuing Princess Changping..."

Zhao Yu's face changed slightly: "Your Highness, although Princess Changping is nominally engaged to you, now that the Emperor of Qin has married her to Cao Zhang, her marriage to you is naturally invalidated."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Chu Ning understood the meaning of his words.

This matter was caused by the unkindness of the Qin Emperor Ying Zhengxian. Even if he did not rescue Princess Changping now, no one in the world would blame him.

It's just that its reputation is a little bit bad.

After all, Princess Changping was his woman in name only, but she had to marry another man.

The most important thing is that the dynasty that man belongs to has a grudge against him.

But if he wanted to rescue Princess Changping, he would inevitably fall into the trap of Qin and send troops to attack Wei.

The current situation is very favorable to the State of Chu. If it turns to deal with the State of Wei at this moment, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning sighed and waved his hand to signal Zhao Yu to leave.

Now he just wants to think quietly.

Chu Ning stayed in the yard all night.

Time passed quickly and it was the next day.

The sun rises, and when the first ray of sunshine shines on my body, a warmth flows through my heart.

Looking at the sun that was gradually turning red, Chu Ning squinted his eyes, a trace of reminiscence appearing on his face.

All that filled his mind were the times when he and Princess Changping had been together.

In the end, everything turned into a smiling face.

At this time, Zhao Yu's voice came from behind: "Your Highness, eat something first, the generals will be here soon."

But Chu Ning shook his head: "Since everyone is about to arrive, let's wait until after the meeting to have dinner."

After saying that, Chu Ning turned and walked into the living room.

Zhao Yu sighed and dared not say anything more. He could only go to the door to greet other generals.

Three quarters of an hour later, everyone came into the hall one after another.

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

Chu Ning, who hadn't slept all night, looked a little haggard. He nodded and said, "You're welcome."

After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "I believe you all know the movements of the Qin State. Now Ying is trying to use Princess Changping to transfer the war to the Wei State."

"According to the news from the Royal Guards, Princess Changping has indeed been sent to the State of Wei."

"Everyone, what do you think about this matter?"

As soon as the voice fell, Ran Ming was the first to stand up and said loudly: "Your Highness, I don't think there is any need to dwell on this matter anymore."

"Now that our army has defeated the Qin army and killed their general, why not take this opportunity to invade Qin in one fell swoop!"

The other generals echoed this statement.

"Your Highness, General Ran Ming is right!"

"Yes, how can we miss such a good opportunity?"

"Now our army has the upper hand, we should attack Qin in one go."

"Your Highness, you cannot give up such a great advantage because of one person."

As generals, they all want to achieve great things and no one wants to give up the advantages in front of them.

Chu Ning looked at the indignant crowd, his face changed slightly, and he said calmly: "I understand what the generals mean!"

"But now the Qin army has mobilized 20,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry to support us."

"Also, their food and supplies will be blocked in three days."

"In addition, the Qin army has reinforced the defenses of Hecheng in the past few days and is ready to defend the city."

"The next battle will not be a fierce battle in the field, but a siege. I would like to ask which general is sure to capture Hecheng when the troops are at a disadvantage?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into complete silence.

They didn't expect the Qin army to be so fast. Before they had time to rest, the enemy's reinforcements arrived.

But it is not difficult to understand if you think about it. After all, the Qin emperor is in Hecheng. How could the Qin army dare to neglect it? Naturally, they will come here to support as quickly as possible.

As for food and supplies, there is no need to mention it. This is the territory of the Qin Dynasty. The other side has the territory of the Qin Dynasty behind them, so it is much easier for them to mobilize food and supplies than them.

Moreover, in siege warfare, the ratio of casualties is often one to five, and the attacking side suffers huge losses.

But once the Qin army's reinforcements arrived, the Qin army was more numerous than them, and a siege would be disadvantageous to them.

Under such circumstances, no one dared to guarantee that they could capture Hecheng.

Although all the generals were experienced warriors, no one dared to come forward to guarantee this matter.

Even Ran Ming was scratching his head anxiously at this moment, but he did not dare to step forward to be the pioneer.

Chu Ning glanced at everyone and said calmly: "It seems that you all understand the current situation very well and understand that if our army continues to fight, the chances of winning are slim."

"In this case, why not change direction!"

At this point, Chu Ning suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Although the Qin army was defeated, the foundation of the world's strongest country is still there. Our army will not be able to take it down for a while!"

"In this case, why not turn to deal with Wei?"

"The Wei Kingdom is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Han Dynasty. If our army suddenly joins the battle, it will definitely catch them off guard."

"When the time comes, our army and the Han army will attack from both sides and will surely be able to take down the Wei Kingdom."

When these words were spoken, everyone's eyes widened with disbelief.

In the end, Feng Anguo took the initiative to step forward and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, if you want to deal with Wei, you need to draw troops from here."

"But once our main force leaves, the Qin army will definitely attack."

This is what worries him the most.

But Chu Ning shook his head and said, "I mobilized 50,000 cavalry before I came here, and now they have attacked Qin from another direction!"

"It's just that they are cavalry and not good at attacking cities, so they took no action after taking a city."

"I am going to lead these 50,000 cavalrymen to raid the State of Wei overnight and catch them off guard!"

Once successful, the State of Wei will be destroyed!

But Su Tingmei frowned and said, "Your Highness, now that Qin and Wei are married, if our army attacks Wei, the Qin army may send troops to support us. What should we do then?"
