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

When Qin sent troops, the whole world was shocked.

The Zhou Dynasty was nervous and responded with all its might.

In the next few days, envoys from various countries left the Zhou Dynasty one after another.

Everyone knew that Qin would send troops next. If the Zhou Dynasty could not resist, God knew whether they would be killed here by the angry Qin army.

At the same time, Chu Ning's letter also reached the State of Chu.

On this day, Di Wenyao came to the palace with a letter to report to Emperor Chu.

The Imperial Palace of Great Chu, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The King of Chu sat in the main seat, with Di Wenyao and the Grand Tutor standing below him.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince wants me to send some of the weapons, armor, and crossbows from Bingzhou."

Di Wenyao said in a deep voice: "From the meaning of the prince's letter, he should want to command this battle personally."

As soon as these words came out, the Chu Emperor showed a puzzled look on his face: "He commands the troops of the Great Zhou? This...will the troops of the Great Zhou listen to him?"

The Grand Tutor was also surprised: "The Great Zhou has the Empress, the General Xue Huaide, and the Prime Minister Di Ying. If the Crown Prince personally commands the Zhou army, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate."

The Great Zhou Dynasty was also a dynasty. Although Chu Ning was the crown prince, he was the crown prince of the State of Chu.

If the news got out that the Crown Prince of Chu was going to command the troops of Zhou, wouldn't it be a joke?

Even if the Empress Wu Zetian of the Great Zhou agreed, the generals, prime ministers and soldiers of the Great Zhou would not agree.

But Di Wenyao laughed awkwardly upon hearing this: "Your Majesty, Grand Tutor doesn't know that everyone in the Zhou Dynasty hopes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will command this battle."

The King of Chu and the Grand Tutor were stunned.

Given the relationship between Wu Zhao and Chu Ning, there is nothing wrong with letting Chu Ning command the Zhou Dynasty's troops.

But how could Xue Huaide, Di Ying and the Great Zhou soldiers allow Chu Ning to command them?

"Is this... serious?" Emperor Chu asked with some uncertainty in his tone.

Di Wenyao nodded seriously: "Indeed!"

The Master raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know why this is so?"

"This……"

Di Wenyao showed a hint of amusement and said with a smile: "The last time the Zhou Dynasty was plotted against by the Qin State, the Zhou Dynasty Empress was almost in danger.

This time, the Qin State sent assassins to attack Princess Xiuning, which completely angered the Zhou Dynasty soldiers.

But they also knew that they were no match for the Qin army, and only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had defeated the Qin army, could compete with them.

This time, the Great Zhou has assembled 100,000 elite troops to fight the Zhou Dynasty. They have the advantage of geographical location, and with the command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is not impossible to defeat the Qin army."

This explanation made the Emperor of Chu and the Grand Tutor look at each other with a look of sudden enlightenment on their faces.

The Qin State went too far, attacking the empress and the princess again and again. No one could tolerate this.

What’s more, this time, the Marquis Dingbian of Qin State even disrupted the enthronement ceremony!

Any man with blood in his veins wants to defeat the Qin State and clear his name.

No matter who is in charge, as long as it can get the job done for them, they are willing to follow his orders.

Chu Ning defeated the Qin army several times in succession, and in the eyes of the people of the world, he has become the nemesis of the Qin State.

In addition, Chu Ning is now in Qin, so it is natural to ask Chu Ning to take command.

Thinking of this, the King of Chu nodded slightly, revealing a satisfied look: "It does make sense.

He paused, then frowned and said, "However, if we lose this battle, I'm afraid Qin will take the opportunity to send troops south and attack our dynasty!"

It would be a lie to say I'm not worried.

If they win, that would be fine. But if they lose, Chu will have to face direct attack from Qin.

Although the Chu State was now powerful and its territory had expanded three times than before, there were many places that needed to be guarded and the military forces were very dispersed.

Once the Qin army wins, it will surely take the opportunity to move south and head straight for the heartland of the Chu State.

By then, the State of Chu would find it difficult to cope with it in a short period of time.

The Grand Tutor also nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. Why not discuss it with the ministers before making a decision?"

He saw the emperor's worries, but did not dare to oppose directly, so he had to act as a peacemaker.

Although Chu Ning is now the boss of the Chu State, Chu Ning is not in Kyoto City, so naturally the emperor has the final say.

In order to avoid conflicts between the two parties, the Taifu could only mediate.

But Di Wenyao's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Grand Tutor, the prince is not discussing with us in this letter.

The prince must win this battle. If the weapons and crossbows are not delivered as soon as possible, it will delay the prince's important mission."

"This……"

The King of Chu hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed and waved his hand, "Forget it, let's do as the prince says."

"I am tired, please leave."

"Your servants shall take their leave!" The two men bowed and slowly retreated.

After leaving the Yangxin Palace, the Grand Tutor and Di Wenyao walked side by side.

Seeing that there was no one around, the Grand Tutor smiled bitterly and said, "Master Di, are you sure of this battle?"

He was still very worried that if the war was lost, Chu would not be able to face the Qin army.

After all, the Zhou Dynasty and the Chu State were on the border. Once the Zhou Dynasty was taken down, the Chu State's Liangzhou would directly face the Qin army.

Unfortunately, Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, with endless plains and no strategic locations to defend. The Qin army could march straight into the heart of the Chu State!

Although I trust Chu Ning very much, there are some things that I have to prepare for in advance.

But Di Wenyao chuckled and said, "Master, has the Crown Prince ever been defeated in battle?"

"Well..."

The Grand Tutor shook his head: "The Crown Prince has always been invincible in battle and invincible in attack!"

Di Wenyao asked again: "How was the prince's record against the Qin army?"

"Uh……"

The Grand Tutor's face straightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the battle with the Qin army, we have repeatedly defeated the larger force with a smaller one, and even played tricks on the Qin army, and we have never lost!"

"Then what else is there to worry about, Master?"

Di Wenyao chuckled: "The prince is already the nemesis of the Qin army. The Qin army should be the ones who are nervous in this battle."

"By the way, the Crown Prince has ordered that the news of our transport of weapons, armor, and crossbows should be spread."

"I still have to arrange this matter, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you!"

After saying this, Di Wenyao bowed, stood up and left, leaving the tutor with a look of astonishment on his face.

After a long while, the Grand Tutor came back to his senses and muttered to himself, "The news was deliberately spread. Could it be that the Crown Prince is plotting something again?"

He shook his head and sighed, "Alas, I am old now and I can't even see through the prince's thoughts."

Then, the tutor also turned and left.

At this point, he couldn't ask any more questions.

In fact, Di Wenyao could have avoided the emperor today, kept the matter secret, and handled it alone.

The reason why we still report to the emperor is just out of respect for the emperor.

If Di Wen Yao bypassed the emperor and ordered Bingzhou to deliver weapons directly, the emperor would probably be unable to do anything to Di Wen Yao.

After all, the armor, weapons and crossbows in Bingzhou were all made by Chu Ning's men, and the imperial court didn't care at all.

Even the imperial court did not know how much was being shipped this time.

However, once this matter gets out, will the Qin army change its plan and choose to attack their transport team first?

Of course, this thought flashed through the Taifu's mind and quickly disappeared.

Because he knew that this was not something he could get involved in.

Next, all we have to do is wait for Qin’s response!
