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

"impossible!"

Yu Jing rushed to the entrance of the hall, grabbed the soldier who came to report, and said viciously:

"Our frontline troops are almost the same as the Han army, and we have the great general Xiahou Wudi in charge. How can we be defeated?"

But the soldier said with a horrified face: "Yes... General, the Han army suddenly took out the head of King Wei, and our army's morale dropped greatly. The Han army took advantage of the situation and attacked us. Our army was unable to resist and was defeated."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Jing stood still.

He didn't expect that the result would be like this.

The number of troops on both sides was almost the same, and both sides were very cautious in their deployment of troops. The situation remained at a stalemate, and the battle was a test of who had higher morale.

If the Han army really appeared at the front line with King Wei's head, the morale of the Wei army would definitely be low.

In the main seat, Guo Xiao, who learned about this, changed his expression drastically and stared at Dongfang Su.

"It's you. You sent someone to kill His Royal Highness King Wei!"

Cao Zhang was killed three days ago. If the other party could rush to the front line with his head in three days and three nights, it would be in time.

Originally, he thought that this might really have been done by the State of Qin, with the purpose of sowing discord and disrupting the alliance.

But now it is not difficult to see from Dongfang Su’s attitude that the Han Dynasty had no intention of negotiating at all.

And the opponent's trump card turned out to be King Wei's head!

They, the Wei State, were tricked this time!

But Dongfang Su stood up slowly after hearing this, smoothed his clothes, and said calmly:

"Prime Minister Guo, you must be responsible for what you said. You cannot arbitrarily accuse me of something without evidence."

After a pause, he sneered at the soldier who came to report, and said with a smile: "Now that our army has gained the upper hand on the front line, this alliance is no longer necessary. Goodbye!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the hall.

But just as he was about to pass by Yu Jing, Yu Jing reached out and stopped him.

"Why, you want to leave peacefully just like this?"

Dongfang Su narrowed his eyes and sneered, "General Yu, do you want to attack me?"

After saying that, he glanced at Chu Ning and chuckled, "The Crown Prince of Chu is also here. If you take action now, it means you don't take him seriously."

"This meeting was initiated by the Crown Prince of Chu. I am here as an envoy. As the saying goes, when two countries are at war, envoys will not be killed!"

"If you kill me, the Crown Prince of Chu will definitely not let you go."

"Of course, you can also kill me and the Crown Prince of Chu here, but Chu and our dynasty will definitely join forces to attack Wei!"

"Can your Wei Kingdom bear such consequences?"

"And you, General Yu Jing, will be a sinner of the Wei State!"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Jing's face changed slightly.

He really couldn't bear the consequences.

The State of Wei has been badly defeated now. If it offends the State of Chu again, it will be more trouble than gain.

In order to kill Dongfang Su, he offended the State of Chu and brought disaster to the State of Wei. How could he bear such a heavy responsibility?

At this time, Chu Ning, who had been playing the role of peacemaker, stood up and advised:

"Calm down, both of you. Why are you making such a fuss?"

"The situation on the front line has nothing to do with our alliance. We should sit down and talk properly."

After a pause, he suddenly looked at the soldier and asked, "By the way, how much did you lose in this defeat of Wei?"

Guo Xiao was shocked and was about to open his mouth to stop him, but he couldn't catch his breath and started coughing.

The soldier didn't know there was a trap in Chu Ning's words, and answered foolishly: "Our army lost more than 30,000 people and lost three cities."

These words almost made Dongfang Su laugh out loud.

Sure enough, his favor was not in vain, Chu Ning really helped when there was something going on.

He deliberately asked about the war situation, seemingly showing concern, but in fact he was trying to give the Han Dynasty the upper hand in the subsequent negotiations.

Guo Xiao, who was a little slow to react, was so angry that he was shaking all over. He stared at the soldier and roared:

"You have no right to interrupt here, get out of here... cough cough~"

Maybe I was too excited and started coughing while talking.

The soldier was frightened by Guo Xiao's appearance and quickly bowed and retreated.

Dongfang Su laughed loudly: "I just said that our army has the upper hand, but you, Prime Minister Guo, don't believe it!"

"Now that your army has been defeated, our army is in high spirits and will surely be able to pursue the victory. There is no need to discuss this alliance!"

After saying this, Dongfang Su swaggered out of the hall.

Guo Xiao stared at Dongfang Su's back, a cold look appearing on his face.

He knew that now it was his turn to make a decision.

Should we let Dongfang Su go or take action now?

If Dongfang Su was killed at this moment and his head was brought to the front line, perhaps the morale of the soldiers on the front line could be stabilized.

But, if an attack were to be taken against Dongfang Su at this moment, would Chu Ning just stand by and watch?

If Chu Ning takes action, will he kill Chu Ning as well?

But if Chu Ning died, Chu would definitely send troops to Wei, and Wei would then be attacked from both sides!

Unless... Chu Ning promises not to do anything!

Thinking of this, Guo Xiao's heart moved.

If he gave Chu Ning enough benefits, bribed Chu Ning, and let Chu Ning stand idly by, he could kill Dongfang Su without offending Chu Ning!

Thinking of this, Guo Xiao looked at Dongfang Su who had left his sight, and a cold look appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Chu, is this what you call a tripartite alliance?"

Guo Xiao said coldly: "My king was killed, the front line was defeated, and the city was lost. I am afraid that I will be severely punished by His Majesty if I return."

Chu Ning looked helpless: "Alas, I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

"However, now that things have come to this, Prime Minister Guo should think about how to deal with the Han army's attack."

After saying that, Chu Ning walked out.

"Wait a minute!"

Guo Xiao suddenly stepped forward quickly, came behind Chu Ning, and whispered: "If I take action against Dongfang Su now, can the Crown Prince of Chu pretend that nothing happened?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Jing's eyes narrowed and a hint of excitement flashed across his face.

If Chu Ning really stood by and watched, he wouldn't have to worry too much and could just take people to kill Dongfang Su.

But at this time, Chu Ning frowned and said, "Prime Minister Guo, I am the initiator of the alliance. If I agree to your request, I will definitely be laughed at. This matter..."

"I know the whereabouts of Princess Changping!"

Guo Xiao interrupted Chu Ning before he could finish his words, "How about I tell you the whereabouts of Princess Changping in exchange for your inaction?"

"Well..."

Chu Ning pretended to be silent, and after a moment he suddenly asked, "Is Princess Changping inside or outside the city?"

Guo Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, "So, Crown Prince of Chu, have you agreed to my request?"

Chu Ning sighed: "For Princess Changping, I came here from afar. Now that I have news about her, I naturally don't want to give up halfway."

"As long as the information you provide can help me find him, I will never interfere in your affairs with Han Dynasty!"

Guo Xiao narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "She is in Guanshan Temple in the north of the city!"

Chu Ning took a deep breath and suppressed his inner excitement: "Very good, I will go to Guanshan Temple now. I will pretend that I didn't see anything about what happened between you and Dongfang Su!"

After saying that, he immediately took his people away.

Guo Xiao waved his hand and said coldly: "General Yu Jing, take your men and kill Dongfang Su!"

"I want his head to be sent to the front line!"
