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

Ying Dan's death gave Ying Zheng and the State of Qin an excuse to send troops.

In order to avenge this, Ying Zheng gave an order and mobilized an army of 100,000 to attack the Zhou Dynasty.

In order to defeat the Zhou Dynasty in this battle, he also specially transferred back the prestigious general Li Xing!

The news spread quickly.

Within just a few days, several major dynasties all learned about this.

Of course, the first person to receive the news was Wu Zhao, the Empress of the Zhou Dynasty.

Great Zhou Dynasty, Imperial Palace, Lizheng Hall.

Wu Zhao looked at the information in her hand with a cold expression.

Chu Ning, who was sitting at the bottom, had a calm expression on his face, as if he was not surprised by this.

Seeing Wu Zhao hesitate to speak, Chu Ning couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Why, do you regret it?"

Wu Zhao snorted coldly, looked up at him, and said in a deep voice: "I don't regret it, but I didn't expect Ying Zheng to send Li Xing here."

Chu Ning chuckled: "No matter who it is, if he meets me, I will make sure he never returns!"

But Wu Zhao shook her head, her face solemn: "It seems that you don't know much about Li Xing."

"Really? Then tell me about it." Chu Ning found a seat and sat down, looking like he was listening attentively.

It seems that he really doesn't understand how powerful the upcoming Qin general is.

Wu Zhao sighed and took the initiative to explain: "Li Xin is usually a low-key person, but he can often launch a fatal attack at a critical moment.

The reason why the Qin State was so powerful was that it defeated several major vassal states back then, and Li Xing contributed a lot in this process.

For this reason, he is deeply trusted by Ying Zheng and is the young general that Ying Zheng values the most. He has achieved what he has today before he is forty years old, which is unprecedented.”

Having said that, she looked at Chu Ning again. In fact, before you appeared out of nowhere, this man and Huo Quji were the two most powerful people in the younger generation who led troops to fight.

The two strongest people of the younger generation!

Chu Ning, who was originally indifferent, suddenly let go of his eyes, stood up from the chair, and laughed:

"Being able to be mentioned alongside Huo Quji is enough to show how powerful this person is. However, compared to me, he is still a little behind."

"I defeated Huo Quji with a trick a few days ago, and now I meet Li Xing again. It seems that God wants me to defeat these two people."

Only Chu Ning could say such confident and bold words.

If it were someone else, Wu Zhao would have been kicked out long ago.

But Chu Ning is different.

If there is anyone in the world who can fight against Li Xin and Huo Quji, it must be Chu Ning.

Besides, it is an indisputable fact that Chu Ning defeated Huo Quji!

Although Chu Ning did not participate in that battle and did not even send troops there, it was indeed Chu Ning who used a strategy to cause Huo Quji to be defeated by Sima Yi.

It is not wrong to say that Chu Ning defeated Huo Quji.

However, Wu Zhao was still a little worried and frowned, saying: "It's good to have confidence, but don't be careless. This battle is related to the safety of our Zhou Dynasty. Once we lose, our dynasty will find it difficult to resist the invasion of the Qin army.

By then, the Qin army will be able to cross our country and head straight for the heartland of your Chu State."

In order to make Chu Ning realize the seriousness of the matter, she even brought Chu Guo along.

The Zhou Dynasty served as a bridge connecting the two dynasties. Once it was breached, the Qin army would naturally completely occupy the Zhou Dynasty, and then move southward to sweep across the Chu State.

Now most of the Chu State's military forces are on the front line and Maple Leaf City, and they have to send troops to guard Zhao and Yan. There are not many troops that can be mobilized in the country.

Once the Zhou Dynasty is conquered, the heartland of Chu will be in danger!

Chu Ning naturally understood this, and seeing Wu Zhao so worried, he couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I have already written to Di Wenyao and asked him to arrange for someone to send a batch of weapons, armor and crossbows.

With these things, no matter how powerful the Qin army was, it would be impossible to capture a large number of cities in a short period of time.

What we need to do now is to gather our troops and prepare for a battle with the Qin State."

After a pause, he asked seriously, "How many troops can you gather now?"

"About a hundred thousand!"

Wu Zhao said in a deep voice: "After two years of recovery, our dynasty has recovered some of its vitality, but only these 100,000 people can really fight.

The other county soldiers and new recruits cannot go to the battlefield, and even if they go, they will just die."

Of course, the entire Great Zhou cannot have only 100,000 soldiers and horses.

The 100,000 soldiers she mentioned were elite troops and did not include newly recruited soldiers and soldiers from various counties.

Facing the fierce and wolf-like Qin army, it is naturally impossible to send new recruits and county soldiers to fight. We must use elite main forces!

One hundred thousand against one hundred thousand, the Zhou Dynasty was still on the defending side. But even so, Wu Zhao still felt that the chances of winning were slim.

Because the combat effectiveness of Qin's troops was too strong.

She is very worried!

Chu Ning saw Wu Zhao's worry and couldn't help but chuckled: "One hundred thousand against one hundred thousand, and they are on the defensive side. I have never fought such a rich battle until now."

He reached out and held Wu Zhao in his arms, with a confident and calm expression: "Don't worry, I have the advantage in this battle, I will make sure that Li Xing will never come back!"

Seeing Chu Ning like this, Wu Zhao felt relieved.

Although she was still a little worried, she believed that Chu Ning would be able to handle the matter.

What's more, Chu Ning said that he would defeat Li Xing personally, which means that Chu Ning has to go to the battlefield.

As long as Chu Ning is here, the Zhou Dynasty has nothing to worry about.

As her mood relaxed, her body softened and she leaned into Chu Ning's arms.

It was a rare moment of peace that Wu Zhao enjoyed, and she actually found herself somewhat fond of Chu Ning's chest.

The satisfying smell made her reluctant to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps and laughter came:

"Your Majesty, I'm here to see the Crown Prince of Chu. He promised to accompany me out of the palace to hunt today!"

As soon as the words fell, Wu Xiuning had already rushed into the hall, just in time to see Wu Zhao leaning in Chu Ning's arms.

A look of surprise first appeared on the delicate little face, and then her mouth opened, her face full of disbelief.

When Wu Zhao saw her daughter coming in and noticed her little woman appearance, she couldn't help but quickly break free from Chu Ning's arms.

I wanted to explain, but I didn't know how. For a moment I just stood there, at a loss.

Fortunately, at this time, Chu Ning stepped forward to block Wu Zhao, giving her a chance to tidy up her appearance, and asked Wu Xiuning with a smile:

"What did you just see?"

Wu Xiuning didn't even think twice and blurted out, "I saw you hugging His Majesty!"

Chu Ning's eyes widened. "Really? It seems that you don't want to go out of the city to hunt today. What a pity. I have asked Zhao Yu to prepare a bow and arrow suitable for you. It seems that you can't use it today."

After saying that, Chu Ning walked out.

Wu Xiuning was stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly chased after him, shouting, "I didn't see anything, really, I didn't see anything."

"is it?"

Chu Ning stopped, turned around and looked at Wu Xiuning, and said seriously: "If someone asks you, do you know what to say?"

Wu Xiuning's little head was like a chicken pecking at rice: "I said I know nothing and I didn't see anything!"

"very good!"

Chu Ning laughed, touched her head and said in admiration: "You are a teachable kid. Let's go. I will take you hunting."

Wu Zhao looked at the two people's backs as they left and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, we just have to wait for the weapons aided by the State of Chu to arrive!
