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

After the fierce battle, the city of Julu was littered with corpses, like a sea of blood.

The pungent smell of blood could be smelled even within a radius of ten miles, like hell on earth.

The Chu army's pursuit lasted for three days and three nights, and the Qin army was completely defeated.

With the deaths of Ying Zheng, Zhang Han, Meng Kuo and others, the Qin army lost its backbone and was completely defeated.

Their fate was to be slaughtered, hunted down, and eventually fall under the knife of the Chu-Zhou coalition forces.

During these three days, Chu Ning recuperated in Julu City.

Although he did not fight on the battlefield in this battle, he commanded the rear camp and expended a lot of energy. After he was sure of victory, Feng Mulan, who had arrived, forcibly took him to the city to recuperate.

Fortunately, there was the miracle doctor Sun Simiao. After some treatment and rest, Chu Ning finally recovered some strength.

Three days later, everyone gathered in the study.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Feng Anguo and all the generals bowed and saluted.

With the help of Feng Mulan, Chu Ning slowly sat up, glanced at everyone, and a look of relief appeared on his face.

"This victory is entirely due to the generals. No need to be polite. General, please tell me about the damage."

Feng Anguo took two steps forward, his eyes flashing with excitement, and said solemnly: "In this battle, all 80,000 Jin troops were annihilated!"

Chu Ning nodded slightly, not surprised by this.

After he received news from the Embroidered Uniform Guard that Ying Zheng had detained Xian Zhen, these 80,000 Jin troops were already dead in his mind.

Without Xian Zhen's command, the Jin army was like a pile of loose sand and could not form any effective combat capability.

What's more, this Jin army was used as cannon fodder by Ying Zheng, which accelerated the opponent's demise.

While thinking, Feng Anguo continued: "After counting the 280,000 Qin troops, there are 25 bodies, and the remaining 30,000 Qin troops have escaped."

Chu Ning was not surprised by this and was mentally prepared for it.

In such a large battlefield, even if the Qin army was very powerful, after showing signs of defeat and Zhang Han and Ying Zheng were killed, there would definitely be cowardly people who would flee.

What's more, there are tens of thousands of new recruits among the 280,000 Qin troops. If the battle situation becomes unfavorable, these people will definitely choose to escape.

It is no big deal if these 30,000 Qin soldiers escape, and the other side cannot cause any trouble.

"What are the casualties of our army?" This is what Chu Ning is most concerned about.

Feng Anguo's face was somewhat solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "In this battle, our army suffered more than 87,000 casualties!"

"Among them, Youzhou lost 15,000 soldiers and horses, Liangzhou lost 13,000 cavalry, and Bingzhou and Yunzhou lost nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses."

The troops of Bingzhou and Yunzhou were on the front battlefield. They were facing the main force of the Qin army, which was commanded by the famous general Zhang Han, so their losses were relatively large.

Feng Mulan's Youzhou troops faced Ying Ji's troops on the western battlefield. Because they were caught off guard, they had cavalry, and Ying Ji had many personal soldiers under his command, so the Youzhou troops suffered relatively fewer losses.

The Liangzhou cavalry led by Han Xing and Ma Chao joined the battlefield later and were all cavalry, so their losses were not too great.

However, this was only the loss of the Chu army and did not include the casualties of the Zhou army.

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are the losses of the Zhou army?"

Feng Anguo knew that Chu Ning was concerned about the situation of the Zhou army and had asked about it before coming here. He immediately answered:

"In this battle, the Zhou army and our army were responsible for resisting the Jin army at the beginning, and then they were responsible for resisting the Qin army from entering the city. They lost about 20,000 people."

Wu Zhao brought 80,000 people this time and lost 20,000. A loss of one quarter is still acceptable.

Chu Ning finally let go of his worries and nodded, smiling, "It seems that I will give the Empress a satisfactory explanation this time."

"The Zhou army has made great contributions in this battle. Now that Qin is about to fall into our hands, I have decided to give the Zhou Dynasty some benefits. What do you think?"

The generals who had been smiling just now were stunned.

Yes, although they won the battle, it is impossible for them to occupy all the cities of Qin, right?

But they were somewhat unwilling to give up part of the city like this.

However, they were worried that many people knew the relationship between Chu Ning and Wu Zhao, and they didn't know how to persuade them.

Finally, they all turned their eyes to Jia Yu.

At this moment, perhaps only this poisonous scholar who is famous for his vicious schemes can give them advice.

Jia Yu noticed everyone's gazes and a bitter smile flashed across his eyes.

If it were someone else, he would never let Chu Ning give any benefits to the other person.

But that was Wu Zhao, it was Chu Ning’s…

Helpless, Jia Yu could only stand up with a wry smile: "Your Highness, what the Crown Prince said is absolutely right. We can't stab our allies in the back like Ying Zheng did, otherwise we will lose the trust of the world."

"I suggest that we discuss this with the Empress of Great Zhou and see what Great Zhou wants before deciding what to give."

He did not say how much benefit he would give, but wanted to see what the Queen of the Great Zhou wanted first.

If the Queen of Great Zhou asks for more, it means she is disregarding the feelings of both parties, and they will have reason to bargain.

If they want less, then they can add more.

This way everyone is happy.

But Chu Ning shook her head and chuckled, "I understand what Lord Jia means, but I have my own plans for the Queen of Great Zhou."

"Okay, all of you please leave. I will discuss this matter with the Queen of Great Zhou in person."

All the generals bowed and retreated.

Only after Feng Mulan left did she glare at him fiercely: "Don't let personal feelings affect national interests!"

As Chu Ning spoke coldly, Feng Mulan left.

Then, the door opened, and a fragrant breeze accompanied by a slim figure appeared in Chu Ning's pupils.

"You look in good spirits. It seems I have been worrying unnecessarily." Wu Zhao walked forward and looked at Chu Ning.

Chu Ning smiled slightly: "With Divine Doctor Sun here, you don't have to worry too much."

After a pause, he said seriously, "After this battle, what are your plans?"

Wu Zhao stared at him with a playful look on her face: "Why, do you want to get rid of me after I've done my work? You don't want to give me any benefits, and want me to go back directly?"

Chu Ning heard the "mocking" in the words and couldn't help but chuckled: "What belongs to me is yours, and what belongs to you is mine. Just ask for what you want."

"As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it."

He didn't care what others thought. Whether Wu Zhao wanted the city or something else, he would satisfy her.

But Wu Zhao's expression suddenly changed. She took two steps forward, stroked Chu Ning's increasingly thin face, and said in a deep voice:

"I don't want anything, as long as you can find the Fiery Sun Grass, refine the antidote, and remove the blood spider poison in your body."

Chu Ning was not surprised by this. He reached out and held her hand, saying seriously, "I have already made a plan for this matter."

"On the one hand, we will send people to negotiate with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Emperor of the Barbarians."

"On the other hand, I plan to seize the capital of Qin to see if anyone is hiding the Fiery Sun Grass."

After a pause, he looked at Wu Zhao and said in a deep voice: "However, your Zhou Dynasty has made a great contribution this time. I will not let you fail to explain to the ministers in the court."

"How about this, Daqin's Liuzhou near your Zhou Dynasty will belong to you."

"You've been out for a long time this time, it's time for you to go back."

Wu Zhao snorted coldly upon hearing this and shook off Chu Ning's hand: "Until I am sure that the toxins in your body are expelled, I will follow you all the way!"

"I want to go with you to the capital of the Qin Empire this time!"
