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

"Oh? Zhang Yi went to ask Di Ying for help?"

At the foot of the high mountain slope, in the Zhou army camp, inside the central army tent.

At this moment, Chu Ning had already come to the high mountain slope from Feihe City, just to completely destroy the remaining 50,000 troops of Li Xing.

Chu Ning, who was having lunch, showed an amused look on his face after listening to Zhao Yu's report.

The Prime Minister of Qin State actually encountered difficulties in the Zhou Dynasty. If this got out, it would definitely become a laughing stock.

Although she used the excuse that the Empress was in the Tiankui period, was in a bad mood, and was emotionally unstable, any discerning person could see that this was just an excuse.

Although women do feel bad and have extreme reactions during this period.

But Wu Zhao was an empress, a woman who had emerged from a sea of blood and corpses. How could she be swayed by such a physiological reaction?

But although Zhang Yi could see through this, he didn't dare to expose it.

After all, this matter concerns the reputation of the empress and the tacit understanding between both parties.

If this layer of window paper was broken, the empress would have even more reason and excuse not to meet Zhang Yi.

By then, the situation will only be worse than it is now.

Zhang Yi must have known all this, which is why he saw through it but didn't say it out loud.

With Zhang Yi's intelligence, how could he be kept in the dark? He just didn't dare to expose it.

Thinking that the Prime Minister of the Great Qin was being played around by him, the smile on Chu Ning's face became even bigger.

"Zhang Yi was humiliated this time. I'm sure Ying Zheng will be furious when he finds out about this, right?"

Zhang Yi could see through this, and Ying Zheng could certainly see through it as well.

However, Ying Zheng does not have Zhang Yi's ability to cultivate his temper. He will definitely be so angry that he will curse when he finds out about this.

Thinking of Ying Zheng’s face that was twisted with anger, a sneer appeared on Chu Ning’s lips.

This was just an appetizer he gave to Ying Zheng!

As long as he lives, he will never let Ying Zheng suffer.

At this time, Zhao Yu on the side said with some concern: "Your Highness, even if we delay for a few more days, the Qin army on the high mountain slope may not be able to wait, and by then, they will definitely choose to break out."

The combat effectiveness of the 50,000 Qin troops cannot be underestimated. In addition, the combat effectiveness of the Zhou army is not strong, so Zhao Yu does not have much confidence in this battle.

What's more, the Qin army's war horses are still there. If the enemy chooses to charge with cavalry, they may not be able to stop it.

In response, Chu Ning shook his head and chuckled, "Li Xing has already lost 50,000 soldiers and horses, he certainly doesn't want to lose any more."

"He doesn't dare to gamble, let alone break out rashly. I believe he will definitely wait for the outcome of the peace talks between Zhang Yi and the Empress."

"As long as the results don't come out, he will definitely wait."

Chu Ning knows human nature better than anyone else.

Besides, Li Xing is such a conceited person that he would naturally not fight a battle that he has no chance of winning.

As long as the battle drags on and Li Xing sees hope, but they keep delaying and consuming the Qin army's war horses, it will be beneficial to the Zhou army.

Every day of delay would increase Zhou Jun’s chances of winning.

Zhao Yu came back to his senses after hearing this, and he showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and said with admiration: "Your Highness is wise!"

At this time, Xue Huaide's voice came from outside the tent.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Chu, Xue Huaide requests an audience!"

"Come in and talk."

Xue Huaide got permission and then he opened the curtain and came in, bowing and saying, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chu."

Chu Ning nodded slightly and said with a smile: "General Xue took the initiative to come to see me, there must be something important."

Xue Huaide nodded with a serious expression, saying, "According to your instructions, our army has laid a large number of traps outside the high mountain slope."

"In order to prevent our troops from falling into the trap, special marks were set up around the trap to facilitate our troops' identification."

"After a few days of training, our soldiers have completely understood the location of the trap. We are just waiting for the Qin army to break through, and then we will catch them all in one fell swoop!"

This was the task Chu Ning assigned a few days ago. Since the Qin army did not leave the camp to cause damage, the matter went very smoothly.

Of course, in order to prevent the Zhou army from falling into the trap, the soldiers have been specially trained in the past few days to identify traps.

Chu Ning nodded slightly upon hearing this and said with a smile, "Thank you, General Xue. By the way, did the Qin army come out during the training these days?"

Xue Huaide shook his head: "The Qin army has not come out, and has not even sent out spies to observe our army's movements. It seems that they want to stay in the camp."

But Chu Ning sneered when he heard this, with a strange look on his face: "Li Xing is really confident that he didn't even send out spies."

"But it doesn't matter. I want to see what his expression will be when he is captured."

"Pass the order down, continue to train the soldiers, identify the traps, wait for the Qin army to break through, and capture them all in one fell swoop."

"Yes!" Xue Huaide responded and turned to leave.

Although he didn't understand why Chu Ning was so confident, after the last battle, he was full of admiration for Chu Ning.

Now, no matter what orders Chu Ning gave, he would execute them unconditionally and without any doubt.

Chu Ning looked at Xue Huaide's departing back and said calmly, "Zhao Yu, notify the Royal Guards and ask them to find out what Ying Zheng's expression was after he received Zhang Yi's report."

"I want to have full control of all information, including Ying Zheng's next response strategy."

"Also, we have sent people to keep an eye on Zhang Yi. This man should not be underestimated. We must keep an eye on him. If there is a chance, we must keep him in Luocheng!"

"Yes!" Zhao Yu responded and turned around to make arrangements.

Chu Ning was very wary of Zhang Yi.

Such a talent is a strong enemy in Qin State. If he has the chance, he will certainly kill him.

Talents who cannot be used by him are not talents but dangerous people.

He would never let go of such people!

As for Ying Zheng, he had a perverted sense of revenge in his heart. He wanted to know Ying Zheng's expression after he learned that Zhang Yi was delayed, just to satisfy his inner sense of revenge.

Just as Chu Ning gave the order, Ying Zheng was furious just as Chu Ning had expected.

Qin State, Xianyang Palace.

"Tiankui Stage? A mere Tiankui Stage cultivator was able to defeat Zhang Yi?"

Ying Zheng, who was furious, was filled with extremely violent energy and punched the table hard.

Suddenly, he punched a fist-sized hole in the heavy table.

Baili Xi in the palace saw this and his face changed drastically. He quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"The Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty is probably using this as an excuse to delay time. Prime Minister Zhang is probably aware of her intentions, but is afraid to expose it. This is an open conspiracy of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Ying Zheng's face was gloomy. He slowly raised his right hand from the table, narrowed his eyes, and said in a cold voice:

"When did the Great Qin Dynasty need to act according to a woman's wishes?"

"Send a message to Zhang Yi. If the Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty doesn't appreciate your kindness, don't blame me for mobilizing the whole country to destroy the Zhou Dynasty first!"

"Humph, she is relying on her current advantage to treat Prime Minister Zhang in such a way. How can I let her have her way?"

When the emperor was angry, his momentum was like a rainbow.

The rage in his heart was difficult to suppress, and Ying Zheng even wanted to mobilize troops to destroy the Zhou Dynasty first!

Baili Xi was shocked and was about to speak to persuade him, but when he looked up, he found that Ying Zheng was no longer in the hall.

In desperation, he had to go down and pass on the order.
