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

"Oh? Liu Che is willing to hand over two states of Wei to Chu Ning, and invite the Chu army to attack Sima Yi?"

Qin State, Xianyang Palace.

After listening to Zhang Yi's report, Ying Zheng showed surprise on his face.

Although he had long known that Liu Che and Chu Ning had an agreement on two states, he had never thought that Liu Che would give the two states to Chu Ning after defeating the State of Wei.

But now that the news has come, he has to believe it even if he doesn't want to.

Zhang Yi sneered: "Your Majesty, Liu Che's move is a trap, whether it is for Chu Ning or our dynasty!"

"Ok?"

Ying Zheng's expression changed: "Why is it a trap for our dynasty as well?"

Baili Xi was also a little surprised: "This is a matter between the Han Dynasty and the Chu State. What does it have to do with our dynasty?"

The other officials in the hall were also very puzzled at this moment and asked questions one after another.

"Yes, Prime Minister Zhang, please explain this matter."

"How dare the Han Dynasty plot against our dynasty?"

"Could it be that the Prime Minister made a mistake?"

"Humph, even if the Han Dynasty had ten guts, it would not dare to plot against our dynasty."

Everyone was talking about it, while Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne, narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhang Yi.

"Zhang Aiqing has always been rigorous."

As Ying was about to speak, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Under the gaze of everyone, Ying Zheng slowly asked: "Since you dare to say such words, you must have some insights. Tell me in detail."

Zhang Yi said calmly, "Such a confidential matter should have been known to our dynasty after the incident.

But now that the incident has not yet occurred, our dynasty has learned about it. I think it must be that the Han emperor deliberately spread the rumor.

The purpose is to lure us into attacking Maple Leaf City.

Chu Ning will definitely send troops to attack Sima Yi in order to capture more cities. By then, at least half of Maple Leaf City’s military force will be allocated.

As a result, Maple Leaf City will be short of manpower, and this is the perfect time for our army to attack."

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally quiet hall suddenly became lively.

"Liu Che is such a jerk. He wants to expand the conflict between our dynasty and the State of Chu so that he can deal with Sima Yi with peace of mind."

"Humph, what a wolfish ambition! Fortunately, the Prime Minister saw through the mystery."

"He is so bold and reckless that he wants to plot against our dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, since the Prime Minister has seen through Liu Che's plan, we must not fall into his trap and let them fight to the death!"

The ministers were extremely angry. No one wanted to be a pawn, let alone be used by Liu Che.

At this moment, Zhang Yi suddenly chuckled: "Why are you all so angry? In fact, this matter is also an opportunity for our Qin State.

If we can seize the opportunity to capture Maple Leaf City and block the Chu army's retreat, the Chu army in Wei will be caught in a dilemma and will have no choice but to stay in Wei.

But Liu Che would not allow others to sleep beside his bed. He would not let them stay in Wei any longer. He would definitely find a way to destroy the Chu army.

Our army can gather troops and secretly gather intelligence outside Maple Leaf City. Once we are sure that the Chu army has left the city, we can attack the city at the right opportunity."

This plan made all the ministers very excited and they praised it one after another. Only the right prime minister Baili Xi looked solemn.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Ying Zheng saw that Baili Xi seemed to have something to say, and couldn't help asking, "Lord Baili, do you agree with what Prime Minister Zhang said?"

Baili Xi sighed, stepped out of the line, and saluted: "Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Zhang said is indeed reasonable, but if Chu Ning does not agree to Liu Che's request and only wants the two states, what should we do?"

Although the plan is good, Chu Ning must also take the bait.

If Chu Ning doesn't take the bait, their plan will not be realized.

This rhetorical question stunned everyone at the scene.

Yes, if Chu Ning does not agree to Liu Che’s request, there is no point in them discussing this matter now.

Suddenly, all the ministers started talking about it.

"Prime Minister Baili is right. If Chu Ning doesn't fall for it, wouldn't our army be mobilized in vain?"

"Yes, Chu Ning has always been cunning, I'm afraid he won't be fooled easily."

"It's hard to say. After all, this is related to the two states. Chu Ning will definitely attack Sima Yi for the sake of the city."

"Chu Ning's feint to the east and attacking in the west was unexpected. Now that he has defeated our army, his confidence must have doubled. Now that Liu Che has given him the conditions, he will definitely agree."

Although many ministers were skeptical, there were also ministers who agreed with Zhang Yi's idea.

Given Chu Ning's character, he would definitely decide to use a small amount to gain a big advantage and choose to attack Sima Yi from both sides.

Ying Zheng looked at the ministers who were discussing the matter and could not help but frown, with a look of hesitation on his face.

In fact, he knew Chu Ning's character very well. He was the kind of person who would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit.

But once you see the rabbit, you will do your best to take action.

But, he didn't dare to gamble.

Qin's consecutive defeats had made the frontline soldiers fear the Chu army.

What if Chu Ning didn't go to attack Sima Yi?

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but slowly stand up with a solemn look on his face.

"Zhang Xiang!"

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "How confident are you that Chu Ning will send troops to attack Sima Yi?"

Zhang Yi stretched out a finger.

"One percent?"

One of the ministers could not help but stand up and shouted, "This is only a 10% chance. Prime Minister Zhang, do you want His Majesty to mobilize the army to attack Maple Leaf City?"

Another minister also said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Zhang, this matter is of great importance, don't joke about it."

Zhang Yi shook his head: "I'm not kidding, it's just that you misunderstood."

"I am absolutely sure that Chu Ning will go and attack Sima Yi."

After saying this, he glanced at everyone and laughed, “You all should have seen Chu Ning, or heard of his deeds.

This person has always been decisive and resolute in his actions, and will do anything to achieve his goals. Now that interests are at stake, how could he not send troops?

Sima Yi had only a hundred thousand men, including many county soldiers, government servants, and new recruits, but he occupied four states of the Wei State.

How could Chu Ning miss such a good opportunity? "

These words left all the officials present speechless.

At this moment, Sima Yi was clearly the fat meat next to the tiger's den, and Han Chao and Chu Ning could eat him whenever they wanted.

Once Chu Ning sends out troops, Maple Leaf City will be empty. If we don’t attack Maple Leaf City then, when will we attack?

After hearing this, Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and felt a sense of heroism in his heart.

Yes, Chu Ning likes to take advantage so much, how could he only take away the two states that should have belonged to him?

Of course, they wanted to take the opportunity to defeat Sima Yi and seize more cities.

As long as Chu Ning mobilizes the troops of Maple Leaf City to attack Sima Yi, the opportunity for the Qin Dynasty to attack Maple Leaf City will come.

The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more excited he became. A sneer appeared on his face and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Prime Minister Zhang is right. Chu Ning will definitely send troops. I must capture Maple Leaf City this time and avenge the soldiers who died in the battle."

Ying Zheng clenched his hands and said in a cold voice: "Send an order, have Wang Ben withdraw 50,000 troops from the barbarians to Maple Leaf City."

"Humph, this time, I want Chu Ning to see the strength of the main force of my Qin State."

"In addition, all spies are dispatched. I want to know all the actions of Han Chao, Chu Ning, and Sima Yi."
