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

"Okay, okay!"

Han Dynasty, inside Weiyang Palace.

Liu Che's laughter was heard, revealing a hint of pride.

At this moment, Liu Che was holding Chu Ning's handwritten letter in his hand, with a gleam in his eyes.

Chu Ning agreed to his request in the letter!

At the same time, he also learned that Qin had dispatched 30,000 elite troops to Maple Leaf City.

Once it is confirmed that the main force of the Chu army has left Maple Leaf City, the Qin army can launch an attack.

By then, the Han army and the Chu army attacked Sima Yi from both sides, while the Qin army took the opportunity to capture Maple Leaf City.

The final result was that the Han army and the Chu army defeated Sima Yi, and the Chu army would eventually be sandwiched between the Han army and the Qin army.

Given the hatred between Chu and Qin, Qin would naturally not miss this opportunity. As long as the Chu army was trapped in Wei, the Qin army would definitely kill them all.

By then, the Han army will be able to destroy the Chu army without any effort!

After destroying the Chu army, the Qin army will be severely damaged, and he can reap the benefits.

Liu Che became more and more excited the more he thought about it. He couldn't help but look at Prime Minister Gongsun Hong in the hall and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think about this matter?"

Gongsun Hong frowned with a cautious look on his face and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that this matter is going too smoothly, and I am a little nervous."

Everything was going so smoothly for a while, and it developed exactly as they expected, which made Gongsun Hong a little uncertain.

Liu Che, who was originally very excited, raised his eyebrows and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

If the person being plotted against was someone else, Liu Che would not be so cautious.

But this was Chu Ning, the one who destroyed two countries in just four years, a jealous and dangerous man who rose from an illegitimate child to a crown prince.

Liu Che dare not be careless!

Putting down the letter in his hand, he said in a deep voice: "The Prime Minister is right. We really can't be careless about this matter. Otherwise, if we make a mistake, we will make mistakes at every step."

"According to the Prime Minister, how can we determine this matter?"

Gongsun Hong hesitated for a moment and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, only when we are sure that the Chu army is moving in the predetermined direction can our army take action!"

If Chu Ning only agreed verbally but did not take any action, allowing the Han army to attack Sima Yi on their own, the Han army would lose more than it gained.

"Good!"

Liu Che's eyes lit up: "As long as the Chu army is heading towards Sima Yi, it means that Chu Ning is sincere in joining forces with our army."

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard came forward to report: "Your Majesty, the spies have sent us news!"

"Send it up!"

Liu Che was overjoyed and immediately ordered the imperial guards to present the letter.

When he opened it, he burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, God helps me, it really is God helping me!"

Liu Che's laughter became louder and louder, until even the eunuchs outside the palace could hear it.

After a long while, Liu Che looked at Gongsun Hong and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, you can put your worries aside!"

Gongsun Hong's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously, "Could it be that Chu Ning really sent a large army to attack Sima Yi together with our army?"

Liu Che nodded slightly and handed the letter over: "Prime Minister, please read it yourself."

Gongsun Hong walked quickly forward, respectfully took the letter, took a look at it, and then he felt relieved.

"Sending 40,000 cavalry is equivalent to the orders of most of Maple Leaf City, and they are all the main force!"

Gongsun Hong's eyes lit up: "It seems that Chu Ning really wants to join forces with our army to attack Sima Yi!"

The original concerns and worries completely disappeared at this moment.

Even Liu Che sneered and said, "Chu Ning always likes to take advantage of others. This time I invited him to attack Sima Yi together, and I also promised him some benefits.

If Sima Yi could be captured, whoever occupied the city would own it. How could he not be tempted?

Unfortunately, for the sake of immediate interests, he completely ignored the Qin army behind him and only wanted to occupy more cities.

Little did he know that even if he occupied these Wei cities, he would not be able to hold them.”

After he finished speaking, Liu Che's eyes turned cold: "Send a message to the Marquis of Guanjun. I will make him the Duke of Weiguo and promote him to the rank of general. He will lead the three armies and attack Sima Yi together with the Chu army!"

"In addition, the former general Wei Qing was posthumously named Duke of Protectorate. Master, I will personally preside over his funeral."

Only after Chu Ning took the bait could Liu Che focus on dealing with Wei Qing's funeral.

Of course, he chose to trust Huo Quji regarding the battle situation on the front line and let Huo Qubing handle it with full authority.

To this end, he specially ordered a promotion for Huo Qubing before he returned to the court, and even promoted his title.

The Chu army was taking action, and the Qin army was also mobilizing troops. Liu Che didn't believe that Chu Ning could escape from his grasp this time.

But at this moment Sima Yi also received the news.

Wei State, Qingzhou, camp.

A huge palace is located in the north of Jicheng, with its layers of palaces deep and well-organized.

This place is the territory of the Sima family, and the camp here was previously used by Cao De.

But after Sima Yi rebelled against Cao De, this place became used by Sima Yi himself.

At this moment, all the ministers gathered in the palace hall.

Sima Yi was wearing a purple robe and a crown on his head, with a solemn look on his face:

"Everyone, now Chu Ning has agreed to Liu Che's request and sent 40,000 troops straight to Qingzhou."

"After hearing the news, the Qin State has mobilized 30,000 troops and rushed to Maple Leaf City."

"The situation is very unfavorable to us now. I wonder what you have to say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers were suddenly in a panic.

"The Chu army actually sent so many people over here, this...what should we do?"

"Yes, the Chu army is so powerful. If they join forces with the Han army, can our army resist?"

"Why don't we send someone to ask for peace with the Chu army? We have no grudges against the Chu army, so we just need to give them some benefits."

"Yes, we cannot let the Chu army interfere in this matter, otherwise our army will be attacked from both sides and will be unable to resist."

The ministers were very panicked, as they were afraid that the wealth and glory they had obtained would be divided up by others.

The situation was extremely unfavorable to them. If they did not want to come up with a response and support, they would have to face the troops of both the Han and Chu states at the same time.

The Han army alone was hard for them to resist, let alone the Chu army?

While everyone was discussing, Sima Yi raised his eyebrows, looked at Xun Yu, the head of the civil officials, and said in a deep voice:

"Master Xun, what do you think?"

Xun Yu sighed and said, "King Gaoling, if we are willing to pay a certain price, the Chu army can withdraw.

But now we only have four states left. If we cede more cities, the people will surely be angry.”

As soon as these words came out, Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and a hint of coldness flashed across them.

"Humph, your life is almost gone, how can you care so much?"

Sima Yi stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "What I need now is to find an opportunity to defeat the Han army. As for the Chu army, I will give them some benefits first, and then find a way to take them back in the future!"

"Besides, even if I give the Chu army benefits, they may not be able to hold on."

After thinking for a while, Sima Yi's eyes flashed with a ruthless look: "To be honest, I have already written a letter to Chu Ning!"

"If he can cooperate with me, the Han army will never return!"

After these words were spoken, all the ministers fell silent.

They did not dare to object because Sima Yi held the military power.

And the purpose of Sima Yi calling them here today was not to discuss, but to inform!

But Sima Yi also wants to be a chess player!

So who is the chess piece?
