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

"What? Chu Ning actually transported Chu's weapons, armor, and crossbows to the Great Zhou?"

A few days later, Qin State, Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng, who received the news, showed a look of surprise, with a bit of astonishment in his eyes.

The weapons, armor and crossbows of the Chu State were very special. Many dynasties wanted to obtain them but never succeeded.

This time, Chu Ning actually allowed these things to be shipped to the Zhou Dynasty.

Isn’t Chu Ning afraid that the Zhou Dynasty will obtain these weapons and threaten the Chu State in the future?

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's face darkened. He looked at the ministers in the hall and asked, "My dear ministers, what do you think of this matter?"

The ministers looked at each other and then started discussing.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this matter is somewhat strange. How could such a confidential matter be known so easily by our dynasty?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I think there must be a trick here. Maybe Chu Ning wants to lure our army into action."

"That's right, we must not be fooled!"

"My Lords, if we don't take action, what if this is true? If the Zhou Dynasty gets so many sophisticated weapons, my army will find it difficult to capture the city."

"That's right. I think no matter whether it's true or not, we must send someone to test it out."

For a moment, everyone at the scene had different opinions.

Some people thought that this was Chu Ning's evil plan, trying to lure the Qin army into action and then ambush them.

But some people think that Chu Ning does not have the courage to do so, and must be trying to take the opportunity to transport the weapons over.

Of course, there are also people who feel that no matter what, they cannot sit idly by and watch these weapons be transported to the Zhou Dynasty.

The officials quarreled more and more fiercely, and some even spit on each other.

This scene made Ying Zheng's face darken and he snorted coldly.

The sound was not loud, but it made everyone feel a chill in their hearts.

The originally noisy scene suddenly became silent, so quiet that one could hear the heartbeats of everyone present.

Ying Zheng glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Take action, you are worried that it is Chu Ning's evil plan, he will send troops to ambush our army."

"If we don't take action, you will worry that these weapons will be transported to the Great Zhou Dynasty, making it difficult for our frontline soldiers to break through the Zhou Dynasty city."

"It's not right to take action, and it's even worse not to take action. Am I just going to sit here and listen to you guys quarreling?"

The emperor was angry and all his ministers fell silent.

Seeing that no one was talking, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, looked at Baili Xi and asked, "Prime Minister Baili, you say!"

"Should our dynasty take action or not in this matter?"

Baili Xi, who was named, stood up with a solemn look on his face: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, this matter needs to be handled with caution."

Ying Zheng was dissatisfied with this answer, frowned and asked: "How to be cautious?"

Baili Xi hesitated for a moment and slowly explained: "This is obviously the problem Chu Ning posed to me!"

"If we take action, Chu Ning will send troops to ambush us. If we don't take action, once the weapons are transported over, our frontline soldiers will be in great trouble."

"Once these weapons are delivered to the front line, it will be a huge blow to the morale of our soldiers on the front line."

"At that time, the Zhou Dynasty will use the advantage of the city wall to engage in a defensive war with our dynasty. Once a stalemate occurs, it will be very disadvantageous to our army."

When sending troops to attack other dynasties, logistical supplies are very important.

If the battle cannot be won quickly, it will naturally be disadvantageous to the attacking party.

But now the problem is back to the original point.

The weapons shipment was a trap.

It's an open conspiracy.

If nothing was done, the weapons would have been delivered to the Zhou Dynasty.

If they were blocked, they would be ambushed.

What’s more crucial is that they clearly knew that this was an open conspiracy, but they were powerless to do anything about it.

This is the most frustrating thing.

Ying Zheng understood the meaning behind Baili Xi's words, his face became even gloomier, he snorted coldly, glanced at Zhang Yi, and said coldly:

"Prime Minister Zhang, do you have any good ideas?"

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly and stood up helplessly: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed difficult to handle."

"Knowing it's a trap, yet having to deal with it, Chu Ning's intentions are extremely sinister!"

"In my humble opinion, we cannot ignore this matter, but we cannot use all our elite troops to attack it either."

"You can order General Li Xing to send a cavalry of 10,000 people to ambush on the road that must be passed, and at the same time check whether there are any ambushes around."

"If there is no ambush, it won't be too late for our army to attack. Once an ambush is discovered, retreat immediately."

Send out 10,000 cavalry as a test!

If the situation is not right, retreat immediately.

If there were no ambush, the combat effectiveness of those 10,000 cavalrymen should not be underestimated.

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up after hearing this: "That makes sense. Let's do as you say, Prime Minister Zhang!"

"Come here, send a message to General Li Xing immediately."

Knowing the conspiracy clearly, Ying Zheng was helpless.

Although Zhang Yi's plan was a bit clumsy, it was still a feasible solution.

If no action is taken in time, once this batch of weapons is delivered to the Zhou Dynasty, the situation on the front line will inevitably become a stalemate.

Therefore, he must send troops to stop it!

Even if we cannot seize these weapons, we must find a way to destroy them.

In short, this batch of weapons must not fall into the hands of the Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, if the Qin army could obtain this batch of weapons, it would be great news.

The powerful Qin army, equipped with powerful weapons, will surely defeat the Zhou Dynasty like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves!

This order was delivered to Li Xin a few days later.

The Qin army marched majestically along a winding official road.

In the north wind, with flags waving, spears standing in rows, and with great momentum, they headed straight for the border between the Zhou Dynasty and the Qin State.

In the center of the army, there was a man more than seven feet tall, wearing black armor, and his eyes exuded a murderous intent that made people dare not look directly at him.

Although he is less than forty years old, he exudes the murderous and decisive aura of a superior.

This person was none other than the mighty general Li Xing of the Qin Dynasty.

This time, he was ordered to go to the Zhou Dynasty. He was full of confidence and prepared to take down the Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop and change the current momentum of the Qin army.

After being defeated several times in a row by Chu Ning, the morale of the Qin army is low and they are in urgent need of a victory.

Of course, if he personally fought against the Chu army led by Chu Ning, he would not have much chance of winning.

But this time it’s different, he is facing the Zhou Dynasty troops!

No matter how powerful Chu Ning is, he is only capable of one person.

The Zhou Dynasty's army was generally recognized as having below-average combat effectiveness among all the countries, and had no chance of winning against the Qin army.

Even if Chu Ning was in command, he was confident that he could defeat them!

As long as they defeat Chu Ning and take down the Zhou Dynasty, the Qin army will be able to completely change the current situation.

With some anticipation, Li Xing rode his horse and led his troops to the Zhou Dynasty.

Just then, a horse came galloping over.

"General, His Majesty has sent a decree!"

Li Xing frowned, pulled the reins in his hand, stopped the warhorse, and reached out to take the message handed over by the soldier.

After reading it, his face suddenly looked a little ugly.

Seeing this, the deputy general Zhou Min behind him frowned and asked, "General Li, what does His Majesty want?"

"Read it yourself." Li Xing handed the letter over with a gloomy face.

Zhou Min took the letter and read it, and said in surprise:

"Your Majesty asked us to send out 10,000 cavalrymen to test the enemy. If the enemy does not have an ambush, we will attack. Is there any problem with this?"

"Oh?"

Li Xing narrowed his eyes and asked, "Deputy General Zhou, do you think it's okay?"

The implication is that he felt there was something wrong!
