Chu Ning ultimately failed to convince Wu Zhao.

She must follow Chu Ning to Yangcheng!

For this reason, she decided to let the troops stay in Julu City to rest, and she only took her personal soldiers and Chu Ning with her.

Because Chu Ning had rested for three days, the army set out for Chaoyang City the next day.

After all, the Qin State was now in name only, waiting for him to come and take over the capital and declare the Qin State dead.

At this critical moment, he didn't want any other trouble to happen.

Of course, what is more important is that Chu Ning doesn’t have much time left, and it also takes time to get from Julu to Yangcheng.

Moreover, even if he got the Fiery Sun Grass, it would still take some time for Sun Simiao to refine the antidote.

The Chu army marched quickly towards Chaoyang City with great momentum.

At the same time, the news that Chu Ning destroyed the main force of the Qin army and killed Ying Zheng spread throughout the world.

Suddenly, the world was shocked.

Jin, the state closest to Qin, was the first to receive the news.

Jin State, capital, Kyoto City, Golden Palace.

"Trash, it's all trash!"

The new emperor of Jin, Ji Yingjie, was so angry that he roared repeatedly and even rushed down from the dragon throne, cursing at all the ministers face to face:

"Aren't you all usually quite talkative? Why aren't you talking now?"

"You, as the Grand Tutor, are silent at this moment?"

"You, Imperial Censor, you usually love to impeach people, why are you silent today?"

"And you, Minister of Revenue, you like to measure with silver the most, why are you silent now?"

Every time he approached someone, Ji Yingjie would grab the person's collar and scold him/her viciously.

In this battle, the 80,000-man Jin army was completely wiped out, and even the Qin State was on the verge of destruction.

Once Chu Ning takes control of the Qin State, the next State to be destroyed will definitely be the Jin State.

After all, this time Jin cooperated with Qin to take action, which put a certain amount of pressure on the Chu-Zhou coalition. With Chu Ning's vengeful character, he will definitely not let them go.

All the civil and military officials in the court were terrified at this moment. Many of them were even trembling with fear and dared not speak a word.

Seeing that no one spoke, Ji Yingjie could not help but rip off the dragon crown on his head, threw it hard on the ground, and roared:

"Since none of you are talking, I, the emperor, will not sit down either. Whoever wants to sit down can do so!"

Such angry words frightened all the ministers to kneel on the ground, and then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Ji Yingjie glanced at the ministers and roared, "Now there is no one to give advice, how can you calm me down?"

"Once the Chu-Zhou coalition forces come, I will be the king of a fallen nation and will be infamous for eternity!"

Pointing at the ministers, he said sarcastically, "You are not naive enough to think that he will let you go as long as you surrender, right?"

"I believe you all know what kind of personality Chu Ning has. He is a vengeful guy. There is no way he will let you go."

He knew that many people were waiting for the Chu army to attack. When the time came, they would just need to surrender and then use the previous business relationship between the two sides to ask Chu Ning to spare their lives.

Therefore, he had to dispel the thoughts in everyone's mind and make everyone join him in fighting against Chu Ning and the Chu army.

Only in this way may there be a glimmer of hope.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the ministers immediately panicked.

Everyone started talking.

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. Chu Ning has always been vindictive. Moreover, the Chu army destroyed the main force of the Qin army in this battle. They are very motivated and must want to take over our dynasty by taking advantage of the victory."

"Chu Ning has always been a murderer and will definitely not show mercy to men like us."

"Alas, if the eldest prince were still alive, perhaps things would not have turned out like this."

"What's the point of saying this now? Let's think about how to deal with the Chu army."

"With the power of our dynasty, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with the Chu army. We need to seek external assistance."

"That's right. Although we are no match for the Chu army, as long as we unite with other dynasties, we will definitely win."

As the ministers talked, they seemed to have reached a consensus.

They want to seek external help.

Ji Yingjie, who was originally angry, suddenly lit up his eyes when he heard this.

Yes, they can seek external help.

There is no need to face the Chu army alone!

The Chu army is now in high spirits. Once it occupies Qin, it will surely become the best army in the world.

It is absolutely impossible for other dynasties to watch the Chu army and the Chu State grow stronger.

It’s just that other dynasties lacked a reason to send troops.

As long as he gave the other party a reason, he believed that other dynasties would definitely join him in dealing with the Chu army.

Thinking of this, Ji Yingjie suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha, you gentlemen are right, our dynasty should now unite with other dynasties to deal with the Chu army!"

He turned to look at the Grand Tutor, squinted his eyes and asked, "Grand Tutor, you are always resourceful. Who do you think I should ask for help first?"

The tutor who was named had a blank expression on his face.

In fact, he did not agree with Ji Yingjie becoming the emperor from the beginning, but the other party held power, so he had no choice but to agree.

Moreover, he did not agree to cooperate with the Qin army, but Ji Yingjie was the emperor at that time and he had no right to object.

Before the accident, Ji Yingjie didn't ask for his opinion.

Now that something has happened, he is asked to come up with ideas.

Of course, he didn't dare to express his complaints.

What's more, it's already this time, and he doesn't want to create any more trouble. If he doesn't come up with a response plan, the State of Jin will be destroyed by the State of Chu.

After all, at this moment, the State of Jin only had navy and no extra infantry.

With a long sigh, the Grand Tutor took the initiative to step out of the line and said in a deep voice: "Now the Chu-Zhou coalition is in high spirits and has the potential to look down on the world!"

"I believe that no matter which dynasty it is, they will be wary of Chu Ning."

"So I think we can ask for help from Tang, Han and Wei at the same time."

“Even if they don’t take the initiative to send troops to fight the Chu army, as long as they make the move of stationing troops, Chu Ning will have to send troops to defend.”

"In this way, the Chu army will not be able to reach our dynasty with many troops, and our dynasty is guarded by natural barriers. As long as the Chu army cannot cross the river, they will not be able to do anything to our dynasty."

As expected of the Grand Tutor, he analyzes the situation very clearly.

Ji Yingjie couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this, and clapped his hands in applause: "Master, this is indeed a brilliant idea!"

"In that case, I will personally write to Emperor Li Shiming of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, and Sima Yi, the Prince of Gaoling of the Wei Kingdom, asking them to support our dynasty."

But at this time, the Grand Tutor suddenly suggested: "Now only the Tang Dynasty has the most intact strength. Your Majesty can borrow troops from them to help our dynasty guard the border."

"As a condition, our dynasty can give them silver and food."

"In this way, the Tang Dynasty can curb the development of the Chu Army without requiring them to pay any military pay. I believe the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will definitely agree."

Ji Yingjie nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Yes, the Tang Emperor Li Shiming has always been ambitious, and he will never allow the Chu State to become too powerful."

"Okay, everyone, please leave. I will go write the letter now."

He did not dare to delay, for fear that the Chu army would arrive first and destroy the Jin State.

Although asking the Tang Dynasty to send troops would consume the financial resources of the State of Jin, compared with destroying the country, he would rather consume the financial resources and ask the Tang Dynasty to borrow troops!
