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

The defeat of the Qin army had a great impact on the Qin state.

For this reason, Ying Zheng contacted Sima Yi as soon as possible. At the same time, after returning to the country, he began to reorganize his troops and prepare for a decisive battle with Chu Ning.

But Chu Ning was not willing to be outdone. He transferred troops from the country and ordered Chu Kuang to get to Julu as soon as possible.

At the same time, he also wrote personal letters to the Han Emperor Liu Che and the Jin Emperor, asking them to send troops.

A few days later, Sima Yi, who was the first to receive the news, summoned all the officials to report.

Wei State, Qingzhou, the imperial palace.

Sima Yi was wearing royal robes and a purple gold crown on his head, and a hint of excitement appeared on his gloomy face.

Ying Zheng's letter gave him hope.

"Everyone!"

Sima Yi glanced at the officials present and laughed, "The Qin State was defeated, and it was defeated miserably. For this reason, Ying Zheng decided to fight a decisive battle with Chu Ning at Julu!"

"Ying is asking our army to send troops to cooperate with them to contain the 100,000 Chu troops in Maple Leaf City. What do you think?"

As soon as the words fell, a general could not wait to stand up and laughed wildly: "King Gaoling, this is our chance!"

Other generals also stood up and said, "That's right. If we can help Qin, they will definitely give us some benefits when they defeat Chu in the future!"

"We can agree to this, but we must ask Qin to give us some benefits."

"No, what if Qin is defeated again? If the Chu army can defeat them once, they can defeat them a second time!"

"Yes, we need to be cautious about this matter. We can't lose the big picture for the sake of a small gain."

The ministers had different opinions, some agreed and some opposed.

This made Sima Yi, who was originally smiling, suddenly become gloomy.

I thought all the ministers would agree, but I didn't expect that some people were afraid of the strength of Chu.

Looking at the ministers arguing fiercely with each other, Sima Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, turned to look at General Xu Fang, and asked:

"General Xu, what do you mean?"

Xu Fang stepped out of the class and said cautiously, "Prince Gaoling, this matter is of great importance, so we must not act rashly!"

"Maple Leaf City is behind our dynasty. Once we offend Chu Ning, he will definitely let Chu Kuang cooperate with the Han army to kill us first!"

"By then, our army will be attacked from all sides and will be unable to resist. We will be the first to perish!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who was originally wondering why Xu Fang made such a decision suddenly reacted.

Yes, once they take action, won’t Chu Ning join forces with the Han army to attack them?

Maybe before the Battle of Julu started, they would be destroyed by the Chu Army and the Han Army!

"This……"

Sima Yi hesitated for a moment.

In fact, it's not that he didn't think of this, he just felt a little lucky.

But now that Xu Fang has pointed it out, he has to consider the consequences of this matter.

If even a military general like Xu Fang could think of it, how could the Han court, which is full of talented people, not think of it?

How could a cunning person like Chu Ning not think of this?

Maybe now the Han Emperor Liu Che and Chu Ning are waiting for him to agree to Ying Zheng's request.

But if he doesn't agree, Ying Zheng will not let him go!

Moreover, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once successful and with the protection of Qin, we may be able to compete with the Han Dynasty in the future!

Thinking of this, Sima Yi's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.

Although he wanted to turn the tide, the situation was very unfavorable for the State of Wei.

Moreover, during this period, the royal family of Wei was very dissatisfied with him and even planned to make a member of the Cao family the emperor.

If he doesn't have any more impressive military achievements, the ministers in the court probably won't support him.

Therefore, he'd better find a way to win the battle now, otherwise his position will be difficult to preserve.

Find wealth in danger!

These five words suddenly popped up in Sima Yi's mind.

"General Xu is right!"

Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and sneered, "However, everyone knows about the dirty deeds between Chu Ning and Liu Che!"

"Do you think the Emperor of the Han Dynasty will let go of his grudges and take the initiative to send troops to rescue Chu Ning?"

This rhetorical question immediately left all the officials present speechless.

Even Xun Yu, who had always been neutral, had to admit that Sima Yi's words did make some sense.

With Liu Che's personality, how could he help Chu Ning deal with them?

Maybe Liu Che was just waiting for both Qin and Chu to suffer heavy losses.

Everyone was silent, and Sima Yi had something to say.

"Since the ministers have no objection, then this matter shall be settled!"

"General Xu Fang, you will lead 50,000 soldiers to Maple Leaf City overnight and cooperate with the Qin army to hold back the 100,000 Chu troops!"

"Remember, your mission is only to hold back the 100,000 Chu troops. You must not attack them unless it is absolutely necessary. Do you understand?"

"I obey your command!" Xu Fang responded and immediately bowed.

Sima Yi, who had handled the matter well, was full of pride and said loudly: "I will personally write back to the Emperor of Qin and ask him to give us food and 30,000 war horses in a few hours!"

The conditions offered by Ying Zheng alone were not enough to satisfy him, so he had to raise the price.

The ministers were not surprised by this, and many even felt that Sima Yi was not enough.

But they also knew that only Sima Yi could make the decision on this matter, and their words were no longer important.

Soon, Wei's troops began to march towards Maple Leaf City!

A day later, Liu Che of the Han Dynasty also received Chu Ning's letter.

Han Dynasty, Imperial Palace, Weiyang Palace.

Liu Che sat upright in the main seat, holding a letter in his hand. His hands were shaking with anger and his eyes were wide open.

"It's so shameless, so shameless!"

The furious Liu Che became more and more angry the more he thought about it. He slammed the letter in his hand on the table and roared:

"It was fine that you tricked me last time, but this time you even dared to ask me to send troops to delay the Wei army!"

"Who does he think he is? How dare he give me orders? This is outrageous!"

The furious Liu Cheguang not only cursed but also suddenly grabbed the letter on the table and tore it into pieces.

At this moment, it was as if the letter belonged to Chu Ning and was torn into pieces by him.

As the pieces of paper fell all over the sky, Liu Che's anger was finally relieved a little.

At this time, the Prime Minister Chen Pin in the palace dared to speak cautiously: "Your Majesty, this matter is actually good for our dynasty."

"benefit?"

Liu Che raised his eyebrows and asked unhappily, "What's the benefit?"

Chen Pin quickly explained: "In the upcoming battle of Julu, no matter whether Qin or Chu wins, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties."

"By then, our dynasty can take advantage of the opportunity to conquer Wei in one fell swoop without anyone interfering!"

"And maybe we can take the opportunity to break through Maple Leaf City, kill our way to Qin State, and occupy the city."

Liu Che was a little surprised by this: "Do you mean that Sima Yi will definitely intervene in this battle?"

"Not bad!"

Chen Pin nodded and said solemnly, "Sima Yi's food and grass are almost used up. If we don't find a solution, his troops will abandon him."

"So this time, he will definitely accept Ying Zheng's request and choose to send troops!"

"Once his troops go to Maple Leaf City, our army can march straight in and sweep across the State of Wei!"

"So, sending troops at this moment will only benefit our dynasty and will not cause any harm!"

These words made Liu Che's face suddenly darken.

Could it be that he really wanted to agree to Chu Ning's request?
