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

Chapter 1056: Tempting conditions, becoming a hot commodity

All three dynasties have sent out troops!

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said seriously: "Come in and explain it in detail!"

The Jinyiwei came into the house and bowed: "Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Tell me, what did the three major dynasties do when they learned about what happened here?" Chu Ning asked with a cold face.

The Jinyiwei said in a deep voice: "When the Emperor of the Han Dynasty learned that Dongfang Su was killed by Yu Jing, he was furious and ordered the mobilization of 20,000 troops to support the front line."

"However, after learning that Guo Xiao and Yu Jing were killed, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty recruited another 30,000 new soldiers to rush to the front line."

Fifty thousand troops were reinforced at one time!

A cold light flashed in Zhao Yu's eyes: "It seems that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is serious this time and is preparing for a decisive battle with the State of Wei!"

"But isn't he worried that Qin and Tang will intervene in this matter?"

Ma Chao was also somewhat surprised and said: "Such a big move is because they don't want to drag the war on. But if Qin and Tang take action, the Han Dynasty will be unable to resist."

When two great powers engage in a decisive battle, the biggest worry is that other dynasties will take advantage.

After all, not every dynasty was like the Chu State, which could maintain good relations with the Zhou Dynasty.

If it is impossible to deal with other dynasties around, no one would dare to transfer most of the troops to the decisive battle.

This is also what Zhao Yu and Ma Chao are confused about.

It is impossible for someone like Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, not to know this.

But it is very unusual that they still sent troops to support the front line and fight a decisive battle even when the other side knew about it.

Even Chu Ning's eyes flashed with surprise.

"I thought the Emperor of the Han Dynasty would only launch an attack on the front line, but I didn't expect him to send reinforcements. This shows that he wants to fight Wei to the bitter end!"

Chu Ning frowned and said in a deep voice: "Is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty sure of victory?"

After saying that, he suddenly looked at the Jinyiwei and asked, "What's going on in Wei and Qin?"

The Jinyiwei lowered his head and replied: "The Wei Kingdom is mobilizing all the elite troops in the country to rush to the front line to prepare for a fierce battle with the Han Dynasty."

This time he learned his lesson, and without waiting for Chu Ning to ask, he took the initiative to say, "The Great Qin Dynasty has sent 30,000 soldiers and horses to the direction of Liuye City."

As soon as these words came out, a sneer appeared on Chu Ning's face.

"Only 30,000 soldiers and horses, does Ying Zheng want them to die?"

He concluded that these 30,000 troops came here not for attack but for defense.

Once Liuye City was captured, he could attack into the Qin territory from this direction at any time.

Ying Zheng was worried that he would take an unpredictable approach, so he immediately dispatched troops to defend here.

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "These 30,000 troops are probably trying to delay us and prevent our army from attacking Wei from here, so that Wei can fight the Han Dynasty with peace of mind."

"It seems that Qin and Wei have made a decision. On the one hand, they want to hold us back, and on the other hand, they want Wei to fight a decisive battle with the Han Dynasty as soon as possible."

What a good calculation!

It seems that Ying Zheng has let go of the hatred for the murder of Princess Changping this time and chose to stand on the side of Wei.

Zhao Yu couldn't help but reveal a look of contempt when he heard this: "A man like Ying Zheng is worthy of being a father!"

Princess Changping's body hasn't even been buried yet, but Ying Zheng has teamed up with the people who killed her. It's really chilling.

Even Ma Chao couldn't help but sneer at this moment: "Ying Zheng, the emperor of the world's number one country, is just a figurehead."

After a pause, he said with some concern: "Your Highness, what should our army do next? Should we eat up these 30,000 Qin troops?"

But Chu Ning shook his head: "Your troops have come from afar and have been engaged in fierce battles. They need to rest for a while."

"And the Qin army knows our military strength, and they still dare to send people here. They must have made a perfect plan!"

"Before you know the opponent's strength, you should rest and recuperate in the city. Meanwhile, send people to find out the opponent's strength and wait for my order."

Although Ma Chao was somewhat unwilling, he also knew that Chu Ning was telling the truth.

"General, I will obey His Highness's orders!"

Just as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside: "Your Highness, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty sent someone to deliver a personal letter!"

"Oh? Liu Che actually wrote a letter to me?"

Chu Ning was a little surprised and said in a deep voice: "Show me the letter!"

Soon, the soldier presented the letter.

Chu Ning took the letter and looked at it, a sneer appeared on his face.

"It seems that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty really wants to end this war as soon as possible, and he is willing to sacrifice two states for this!"

After hearing this, Zhao Yu and Ma Chao looked surprised.

"The Emperor of Han wants to make a deal with Your Highness?" Zhao Yu couldn't help but ask.

Chu Ning nodded slightly: "Yes, he wants to defeat the main force of Wei State, and then our army will march out from Liuye City to occupy the two states of Wei State!"

"However, his request is that our army block any reinforcements that may come from the Qin State when they are fighting the Wei army!"

Since it is a transaction, there must be requirements.

There is no way the Han Dynasty would give them two states for no reason!

Ma Chao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Your Highness, this is a benefit that comes to your doorstep. This Liuye City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I have the confidence to stop the Qin army!"

As long as the Qin army was stopped, the two states of Wei could be obtained, which would be a great thing for the Chu State.

Even Zhao Yu couldn't help but nod his head and said, "For our army, this is just a piece of cake."

Chu Ning also nodded at this moment and said seriously: "It seems that a war is inevitable. Liu Che said in the letter that he has already negotiated terms with the Tang Dynasty!"

"In this decisive battle between the Han Dynasty and the Wei Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty only needs to keep its troops in place. After the battle is over, the Han Dynasty is willing to offer the two states."

"The Han Dynasty put four of the nine states of Wei at stake at once. This shows how determined the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is!"

Upon hearing that the Han Dynasty had even dealt with the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Yu and Ma Chao couldn't help but look at each other.

It seems that this time the Han Dynasty is determined to fight a life-and-death battle with the Wei Kingdom.

But unfortunately, they were unable to participate in this battle.

The Han Dynasty offered such good conditions, how could they not agree?

Unexpectedly, at this moment, another soldier came to report: "Your Highness, the Emperor of Wei sent someone to deliver a personal letter!"

Chu Ning's face suddenly darkened: "He actually dared to send someone to find me. Come on, take that messenger out and execute him!"

Princess Changping died at the hands of the Wei people, and Chu Ning hated the Wei State to the core.

But Zhao Yu quickly persuaded him: "Your Highness, when two countries are at war, they do not kill envoys. You should first read what the Emperor of Wei said in the letter, and then decide whether to kill the envoy."

After saying that, he shouted to the soldiers outside: "Bring up the letter!"

The soldier handed over the letter respectfully.

However, Chu Ning had a cold face and did not take the letter to read it.

Zhao Yu took the letter and opened it, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Ma Chao couldn't help but ask, "General Zhao, what did the Emperor of Wei say?"

Zhao Yu said in surprise, "The Emperor of Wei asked us to keep our troops in place and let 30,000 Qin troops pass through Liuye City. He is willing to pay an entire state as compensation!"

"And he also said that Princess Changping's incident was an accident and he never issued such an order."

This is a good thing for the State of Chu.

They don't have to do anything, just let the Qin army pass through Liuye City.

Good things either don’t come, or if they do come, they come all at once!
