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

When the setting sun dyed Mount Qishan red gold, three fast horses shattered the tranquility of the meeting platform.

The first chestnut horse had blood scabs on its mane. When the black-clad scout rolled off its back, the word "Han" engraved on the bronze plate on its waist created sparks on the blue bricks.

The second white horse knelt on the ground with its front hooves. Tang Guoxin's chest was heaving, he was panting and swaying, and he was covered in dust.

The third black horse neighed and stood up. The Wei messenger's face was full of panic, but he still held the blood-stained silk book tightly.

"His Majesty!"

The black-clad scout banged his head against the ground, his forehead smacking blood on the bricks. “Lord Zhang Qian…was beheaded by the Chu army outside the city of Ying, the capital of Chu!”

The bronze wine cup in Liu Che's hand fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the Big Dipper pattern on his dark robe rose and fell violently along with his chest.

"You bastard Chu Ning!"

An enraged Liu Che suddenly drew out his sword, and the cold light smashed a corner of the table: "Back then, even the foreign Chanyu didn't dare to kill my Han envoy!"

"Who the hell is Chu Ning? How dare he kill our envoy!"

Almost at the same time, the Tang messenger trembled and held out half of the jade belt: "Lord Du's body... was hung on the flagpole at the east gate of Chu..."

Li Shiming's five fingers suddenly tightened, and the jade ring made a sharp sound on the table.

The water drops dripping from the ice mirror on the top of the pergola were sliding down the emperor's tense jaw and into the collar with dragon pattern.

"What a great Chu State, what a great Prince of Chu, what a bold Chu Ning!"

Li Shiming's eyes were cold, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in them.

When Sima Yi, who was standing by, took the blood-stained silk book, he turned the jade bead three times in his palm before he could catch it steadily.

The letter said that Xun Yu was also killed by the State of Chu and his body was nowhere to be found!

From the corner of his eye, he saw the young emperor of Jin nervously clutching the hem of his clothes. He suddenly raised his foot and stood up abruptly. His dark green python robe fluttered in the icy mist like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue:

"He even dared to kill the envoy of Wei. Chu Ning really wants to be an enemy of everyone in the world!"

"Boom——"

Crackling thunder split the twilight, and eight bronze palace lanterns swayed violently in the strong wind.

Li Shiming suddenly stood up, his bright yellow dragon robe sweeping away the ice crystals on the ground: "Chu Ning is forcing us to show our swords in advance."

"Why don't you just follow my suggestion? You recruit soldiers and I will provide food and military pay?"

Sima Yi sneered: "The newly recruited soldiers have no fighting power at all. How can they deal with the fierce and ferocious Chu army?"

"Not bad!"

Liu Che narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "How can the new recruits defeat the Chu army? If they are defeated, it will also affect the morale and the will of the army."

Li Shiming saw that the two people were still opposing, and his face turned ugly: "This is not okay, that is not okay, are you trying to sabotage this alliance?"

The atmosphere on the scene became solemn again!

"enough!"

Ji Yingjie suddenly slammed the table and stood up, and the nine-tailed black bird patterned sleeves swept over the ice mirror.

Amid the splashing water, everyone was surprised to see that this young emperor, who was as gentle as a deer, actually had red eyes:

"Do you know that the Chu army has built a ship that can carry a thousand tons of cargo?"

He trembled as he pulled out the secret report from his bosom: "Five hundred strange ships are working day and night on the Cangjiang River!"

When the thunder sounded again, Li Shiming's pupils suddenly shrank.

He knew Ji Yingjie's character, and he would never dare to speak so loudly unless it was absolutely necessary.

The fact that Ji Yingjie was anxious was enough to show the seriousness of the situation. If no changes were made, this alliance would probably end in failure.

If they could not form an alliance, with the strength of Chu, they would be able to sweep across Jin and Wei very quickly.

Next it will be the turn of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty!

"Fifty thousand soldiers and horses."

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty suddenly nailed the gilded dagger into the map, with the tip of the dagger pointing at the location of Qingzhou in the Wei State.

"But the Wei State must pay for the food and military pay!"

He turned around and stared at Sima Yi: "Since King Gaoling wants the Tang Dynasty to send troops, then I guess the food and military pay don't need to be threatened by the Dynasty, right?

Sima Yi clapped his hands and laughed: "Don't worry, my Wei State can still afford this amount of food and military pay."

"very good!"

Li Shiming waved his hand and said loudly: "In this case, let's sign the alliance!"

Heavy rain poured down, washing the flags of the four countries outside the awning.

When the four of them bit their fingers and pressed blood seals on the covenant, lightning illuminated the covenant.

Then, the four of them drew their swords and crossed them to strike each other, creating a cold arc of light above the covenant.

The four-nation alliance is a success!

At midnight, four imperial carriages drove into the rainstorm in different directions.

Sima Yi lifted the curtain of the car and threw the letter in his hand into the mud.

Xun Yu's death cleared the obstacles for him to ascend the throne.

Now the Wei court has been purged by him and all officials are his people.

Next, as long as the Tang Dynasty’s troops arrived, he would be able to ascend the throne and become emperor.

The State of Wei will completely become his State of Wei!

Thinking of the excitement, a sneer appeared on Sima Yi's face.

Everything was going according to his plan.

No matter how powerful Chu Ning was, he could never have imagined that Xun Yu was sent to die by him on purpose!

At this moment, Sima Yi was very proud.

I felt that I had finally defeated Chu Ning once.

At this time, on the official road several miles away, Li Shiming was stroking the jade pendant in his hand, silent.

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji frowned and asked, "Why did your majesty agree to send troops to help Wei?"

Li Shiming came back to his senses, turned to look at Zhangsun Wuji, and said in a cold voice: "According to the information sent back by our spies, Chu Ning is expanding his troops."

"Looking at his current posture, I'm afraid he is going to expand his army to one million. This is the prelude to swallowing up our four dynasties in one go."

"This matter concerns our Great Tang. If we cannot get the other three dynasties to join forces, I'm afraid we will not be able to resist the Chu army on our own."

"Sending troops to assist Wei will not only help the four countries form an alliance, but will also help Wei weaken the power of Chu. Why not do it?"

These words left Changsun Wuji silent.

This was a last resort and it completely dragged the Tang Dynasty into trouble.

But if this is not done, the Han Dynasty and Wei will not agree to the alliance.

Liu Che and Sima Yi were both cunning men. Since they had seen through his plan, they would not let him succeed.

Sending troops to assist the State of Wei was also a last resort.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Changsun Wuji had thousands of words in his mind, which finally turned into four words.

At this time, only in the Jin State's agarwood chariot, Ji Yingjie finally showed his first real smile since the alliance.

The Tang Dynasty sent troops to assist the Wei Kingdom, which was a great thing for him.

The successful alliance of the four countries was undoubtedly a blessing from heaven for the State of Jin.

As long as Chu Ning dared to lead the army to attack Jin, the other three dynasties would not stand idly by.

Even if they did not send troops to help, they would definitely send troops to create trouble for Chu Ning so that Chu Ning could not focus on targeting Jin State.

Looking at the sky, the thunder in the sky had turned into drizzle, and a sneer appeared on Ji Yingjie's lips.

It is only April and there have been several heavy rains. When the flood season comes in June and the Cangjiang River rises, the Chu army will be even more afraid to attack the Jin State in such a fast-flowing water.

During this period of time, he can recruit soldiers, expand his strength, and form infantry as soon as possible, just in case!

Even if Chu Ning really attacks him at that time, he will not be afraid.
