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

The day after seeing Wu Zhao off, Chu Ning left Yangcheng and returned to Chu with his white horse cavalry and 10,000 soldiers.

Di Wenyao, with a group of officials from the Great Chu, completely took over Yangcheng and began to govern the Qin State.

Before leaving, Chu Ning gave Di Wenyao a strict order that they must use the same writing system and the same track.

From now on, whether it is Qin, Yan or Zhao, they must use the same writing and books as Chu.

All of this must be done according to the rules of the Chu State.

We must thoroughly educate the people of these three places!

Only in this way can true unification be achieved.

Naturally, he had no control over other dynasties that had not yet been taken down, but he had to govern the dynasties that had already been taken down.

Di Wenyao did not neglect the matter and started dealing with it the same day after taking over.

The news that the Chu army had completely occupied the Qin State spread as fast as wings.

The first person to receive the news was Sima Yi of Wei.

This was the third day after Chu Ning's departure, and Sima Yi, who was in the Qingzhou Palace of Wei State, received the news.

The huge palace has rows of towering buildings, which, from a distance, seem to reach the sky.

The main hall should have been a place for discussion among ministers, but it was very quiet at the moment.

The only sound in the silence was the breathing of the crowd!

The suffocating atmosphere suppressed everyone's nerves and no one dared to speak without permission.

Sitting in the main seat, Sima Yi was wearing a purple royal robe embroidered with a golden four-clawed long python.

Seeing that no one was talking, Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and a cold light flashed across them:

"Humph, don't you usually like to talk about it? Why don't you say it today?"

"Chu Ning has now completely taken over the Qin State, and our dynasty has nothing to do with it at all."

"Now tell me what to do!"

The State of Chu continued to expand and had already conquered the State of Qin. It would certainly continue to expand its strength.

The Wei State was right next to the Qin State, and its strength was not as great as that of the Tang and Han States, so it would definitely be the first target of the Chu State.

If we don't come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, the outcome will be no better than that of Qin.

Upon hearing this, the ministers looked at each other, with a hint of worry in their eyes.

Of course they knew that after Chu Ning conquered the Qin State, there was a high possibility that it would continue to expand in the future.

But knowing is one thing, and how to stop it is another.

For a moment, everyone fell silent again.

Seeing this, Sima Yi had no choice but to ask by name: "Mr. Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Xun Yu, who was named, sighed, took the initiative to step forward, and said in a deep voice: "At present, although the Chu army has won, it has also suffered heavy losses."

"I estimate that the Chu army should rest for at least three months and expand its troops during this period."

"Although Chu will definitely expand, the first target may not be us, but Jin!"

When they heard the word Jin State, everyone reacted immediately.

Yes, even if Chu Ning wants to expand, the first country he must deal with must be Jin State.

This time, Jin State joined forces with Qin State to cause considerable losses to the Chu-Zhou coalition forces. Given Chu Ning's character, how could he let Jin State go?

Even Sima Yi nodded slightly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "That makes sense. The new emperor of Jin, Ji Yingjie, is a fool. It is much easier to deal with him than with us."

"However, once Chu conquers Jin, we will definitely be the next target."

"Prime Minister, what do you think about this?"

If you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries. It is always better to prepare for a rainy day than to cram at the last minute.

Xun Yu was not surprised by this, and said in a deep voice: "We can now proceed in several steps."

"On the one hand, we will improve relations with the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, so that the Chu State will be cautious and can also recuperate and expand its military forces."

"On the other hand, our army cooperated with Han Xing to defeat the Qin army in Maple Leaf City, but the food and military pay that Han Xing promised to give us were not delivered."

After a pause, he continued, "We can send an envoy to the capital of Chu!"

"First, congratulations to Chu Ning for conquering Qin, which shows that our dynasty has no intention of becoming an enemy of Chu."

"The second is to ask Chu Ning for the military pay and food from the last expedition."

As expected of a wise prime minister, every move he makes is different.

First, improve the relationship with the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty so that there will be no war between the three dynasties.

In this way, the State of Wei could take the opportunity to grow stronger.

When Chu Ning saw that the relationship between the three dynasties had improved, he naturally would not target Wei, but would destroy Jin first.

Then Chu Ning had to fulfill his promise and get the food and military pay.

Only with food and military pay could they recruit soldiers.

Although the State of Wei is still called the State of Wei, it has lost most of its cities, and its military pay and food cannot keep up.

If they could get the food and military pay promised by the State of Chu, they would be able to expand their strength quickly.

Sima Yi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he stood up from the chair with a "swoosh".

"good, very good, excellent!"

Sima Yi clapped his hands and laughed, "As expected of the Prime Minister, you resolved this crisis with just a few words."

"In this case, I will personally write letters to Li Shiming, Liu Che and Chu Ning."

"but……"

Sima Yi showed a hint of hesitation on his face: "Li Shiming and Liu Che will definitely agree to repair their relationship, but it is still unknown whether Chu Ning will fulfill his promise."

After a pause, he suddenly looked up at Xun Yu and saluted: "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to go to Chu in person for this matter!"

"On the one hand, I congratulate Chu Ning for taking over Da Qin, and on the other hand, I persuade Chu Ning to fulfill his promise."

Sima Yi was not very confident about letting others go.

But Xun Yu is different.

First of all, Xun Yu is smart and wise, and he has a solution to any problem.

Secondly, Xun Yu came from a prominent family and was well-known throughout the world, so Chu Ning would certainly not do anything to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu, who had known this for a long time, was not surprised. He returned the greeting with a salutation and said solemnly, "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

After saying this, Xun Yu turned and left.

Sima Yi stared at Xun Yu's departing back, a sneer flashing in his eyes.

On the surface, the purpose of sending Xun Yu to Chu was to resolve the crisis in Wei, but secretly he had his own plans.

There are too many people from the Xun family in the court. If he wants to completely control the court, he cannot avoid these people.

But once Xun Yu left, the situation would be different.

Without a backbone, he could take back the power of the Xun family one by one.

By then, even if Xun Yu returned from Chu, it would be of no avail.

He already had control of the military, and once he took control of the court, he could take advantage of the situation to become emperor and completely get rid of the title of King Gaoling.

Although the world situation has changed now, and the remaining cities in Wei State are less than half of what they used to be.

But it is still a dynasty.

As long as he becomes emperor, his name will be passed down through the ages.

Faced with such temptation, how could he refuse?

Just wait for Xun Yu to set off, and he can take action immediately.

Although Xun Yu is smart, no one would have thought that he would clean out the Xun family at this time.

Come to think of it, he also has to thank Chu Ning.

Thinking of this, Sima Yi waved his hand and said loudly: "Dismiss the court!"

After saying this, Sima Yi turned and left with a playful look on his face.

Next, it was the turn of the Han Emperor Liu Che to make a choice.
