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

"General, Qin is going too far!"

When Xian Zhen came out of the Qin army camp, several generals behind him were filled with righteous indignation and criticized the Qin State for its faults.

"We are clearly helping them in this battle, but they are acting like this."

"Humph, although the delaying tactics are disadvantageous to the Chu army, they are also disadvantageous to our army."

"The Qin army is trying to use delaying tactics to wear down the Chu-Zhou coalition and our army. Once we run out of food and grass, we will have no choice but to obey them."

"General, this matter is of great importance. Please report it to His Majesty immediately."

Everyone was very angry and had already guessed Qin Jun's intentions.

The Qin army was so stingy with the food they gave them, and they still wanted to use delaying tactics?

If the battle continues, the Chu-Zhou coalition forces may indeed be worn down, but they will also be worn down.

How could Xian Zhen not understand the meaning of this? He stopped his horse, turned around and looked towards the Qin army camp, a solemn look flashed across his face.

As a general of the State of Jin, he actually did not agree with Jin's participation in the Three Dynasties War.

However, he had to bring his troops here to fight as he could not disobey the emperor's order.

But the actions of the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng made him feel disheartened.

Not only did they lose the first battle, but Ying Zheng not only did not learn his lesson, he also did not appease them, and he was still trying to use delaying tactics.

If the war continues like this, it will be very disadvantageous to the Jin army.

"Please rest assured, generals. I will write to your majesty and let him make the decision!"

A look of determination flashed across Xian Zhen's face: "Now the Chu-Zhou coalition is so powerful that even if all the Qin troops gathered here, they might not be able to annihilate them."

"Besides, there are still 100,000 Chu troops in Maple Leaf City. Once the Chu troops over there come over, the situation will become even more unfavorable to the Qin State."

"Before our army gets deeply involved in this battle, please withdraw your troops immediately."

After saying this, Xian Zhen turned and headed towards the Jin army camp.

The generals behind him immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then rode their horses to catch up.

What they were most worried about was that Xian Zhen was too rigid, unable to adapt, and still thinking only of Qin at this critical moment of life and death.

In the last battle, they fully witnessed the strength of the Chu army.

Especially those things that can emit fire, which make them very afraid. If they really want to fight against the Chu army, if the other side uses this thing, they may not be able to win even if they have more soldiers and horses.

Fortunately, they finally convinced their general, and as long as their emperor agreed, they would withdraw their troops immediately.

An hour later, a letter was sent by carrier pigeon towards the state of Jin.

In the next few days, the Qin army adopted Ying Zheng's strategy and sent 10,000 people to attack the Chu-Zhou coalition camp every day.

After a few days, although the Qin army suffered some losses, the new recruits were also trained.

However, this scene surprised the entire Chu-Zhou coalition army.

You must know that at this moment all the main forces of the Qin army have gathered here, plus the troops of the Jin State, a total of 340,000 troops have assembled here.

The Chu-Zhou coalition forces were blocked in Maple Leaf City because of Chu Kuang's 100,000 troops, so there were only about 200,000 soldiers and horses in the coalition forces here.

The difference in the number of troops on both sides was more than 100,000, and the Qin army was only engaged in minor battles. This made the Chu-Zhou coalition forces, which had already prepared for a fierce battle, extremely nervous.

Because they didn't know when the Qin army would launch a fierce attack.

For this purpose, Empress Wu Zhao of the Great Zhou Dynasty specially summoned everyone, and even Chu Ning, who was recuperating, attended the meeting.

As eighteen drums sounded, all the generals gathered in the commander's tent.

There were two chairs at the first seat. After everyone gathered, Wu Zhao and Feng Mulan appeared in front of everyone, supporting Chu Ning on the left and right.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Empress of the Great Zhou, and to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The generals saluted one after another.

Wu Zhao nodded slightly and said nothing.

After all, there are many Chu army generals here, so it would be inappropriate for her to take the spotlight.

Chu Ning coughed twice and gestured with his hand: "Everyone... no need to be polite... cough cough"

There was a look of pain on his thin face, which was the symptom of the poison attacking his internal organs.

Feng Mulan's face changed slightly, and she quickly helped Chu Ning sit on the tiger-skin chair.

Wu Zhao wanted to take action, but seeing Feng Mulan supporting her and the generals watching her, she couldn't do it too obviously and could only suppress her worry.

"I summoned you all this time because of the current war situation!"

Wu Zhao said in a deep voice: "The Qin army has gathered, but they have only engaged in minor battles in the past few days and have no intention of engaging in a decisive battle with our army."

"And judging from the Qin army's movements, it seems that they want to take this opportunity to train their new soldiers and use it to delay time."

"Now that the poison in Prince Chu Ning's body is taking longer and longer to take effect, perhaps Ying Zheng is waiting for the moment when the poison takes effect before launching a fierce attack."

"I wonder what you think about this?"

Wu Zetian knew the Qin army's wishful thinking very well.

He simply wanted to delay time while taking the opportunity to train his troops so that he could fight them to the death at the moment of the final decisive battle.

Knowing is one thing, but how to break the impasse is another.

As soon as he finished speaking, the straightforward Ran Ming stood up and said loudly: "This is easy. Give me 50,000 soldiers and I will definitely capture Julu City!"

"Without the city, they will not be able to confront our army. They must fight a decisive battle with our army outside the city."

"By then, General Zhao Yu's white horse cavalry and General Guan Yun's hemp bullets will surely kill them all."

As soon as this was said, a general immediately shouted: "We only need 40,000 men to capture Julu!"

"If someone holds them back, I can capture Julu City with 30,000 men."

For a moment, everyone was very excited, and they all wanted to take the opportunity to make a contribution.

The last time they annihilated 20,000 Qin troops, their morale was high and they wanted to continue fighting the Qin army.

But when Jia Yu heard this, his brows furrowed and he couldn't help but turn around and look at Su Tingmei.

As counselors, the two men naturally understood that the purpose of the Qin army doing this was to consume their food and grass.

Once they lose patience and take the initiative to attack, the Qin army will surely take the opportunity to encircle and annihilate their attacking troops.

After all, the Qin army occupied Julu City and had city walls for defense. In addition, there were Qin and Jin armies outside the city. Once a fight broke out, the other side might be able to defeat them by relying on their numerical advantage.

But if they allowed the situation to continue and continued to delay, not only would they run out of food and fodder, but Chu Ning's body would not be able to hold on for much longer.

Ying Zheng has posed a difficult problem to them.

At this point they only have two choices.

Or choose to take the initiative and break the current predicament!

But if they fail, the troops they send to attack the city may never return.

Either choose to continue dragging it out with the Qin State!

In that case, Chu Ning’s health and the food supply for the 210,000-strong army would become a problem.

Now they are in a dilemma.

Even though this spiritual strategist was resourceful and resourceful, he couldn't help but frown and look solemn at this moment.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chu Ning suddenly coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention and then slowly said:

"The key to the outcome of this decisive battle is not here!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was surprised.

Without waiting for others to ask, Chu Ning showed a playful expression on his face: "Ying Zheng actually wants to drag me down, then he made a wrong calculation."

"This move of his will only put himself to death!"

After that, his face straightened and he said in a deep voice: "Generals, dispatch troops and horses after you go down, and take turns to deal with the Qin army's attack in batches."

"Within half a month, I will give Ying Zheng a big surprise!"
