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

"You just gave birth to a child and are unable to handle state affairs. The Great Zhou Dynasty is in trouble at the moment, so of course I have to stay and help you stabilize the situation."

Chu Ning spoke his thoughts frankly.

But Wu Zhao frowned, revealing a trace of worry: "You said before that you were ordered to go to the front line, and now it has been delayed for a long time. It is a bit unreasonable to delay it for another month."

She didn't want to implicate Chu Ning because of herself.

Although Chu Ning had been killing people everywhere in Luo City during this period and looked very majestic, that was because she had her tiger talisman, which was equivalent to an imperial envoy.

But to the Great Chu, Chu Ning was just a prince and did not have much power.

If you don't go to the front line, it means you are disobeying the imperial order and you will be beheaded.

But Chu Ning looked indifferent: "You are like this, how can I leave at this time? Besides, the child has just been born, and I also want to accompany her."

These words left Wu Zhao silent.

She had always felt that her relationship with Chu Ning was an accident.

It's a bit far-fetched to talk about love between the two of them.

But now, she can truly feel the care from Chu Ning.

Is this what people call love?

Wu Zhao sighed and said, "You have to think it over carefully. If you delay for a month, once the news reaches the State of Chu, you will definitely be punished."

Chu Ning shrugged, looking nonchalant: "I helped the Great Zhou to repel the powerful enemy and maintain an alliance with the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou also agreed to send troops to join forces with Chu to attack Yan. This reason is enough to deal with it."

It turns out he was well prepared!

Seeing Chu Ning's insistence, Wu Zhao sighed and said, "Well, since you already have a plan, I won't advise you anymore."

Chu Ning nodded and smiled, "You take a good rest first. I will go and see the results of the battle."

Judging from the time, the pursuers are almost back.

After settling Wu Zhao down and looking at her peaceful face, Chu Ning turned around and left.

What he didn't know was that after he turned around, Wu Zhao opened her eyes again.

Looking at Chu Ning's departing back, a complex look flashed in Wu Zhao's eyes.

She originally asked Chu Ning for help just to give it a try. Even if Chu Ning didn't come, she would understand.

But Chu Ning not only came, but also helped Da Zhou agree to the war, eliminated the crisis, and even helped her stabilize the situation next.

At this moment, Chu Ning's figure was deeply imprinted in her heart.

Before, she viewed men as objects to be conquered and all men had to listen to her.

But now, she suddenly found that she was willing to listen to Chu Ning.

No man has ever made her feel this way!

This made it difficult for her to adapt and understand.

Looking at Chu Ning's departing back, he murmured to himself: "Could it be that I have fallen in love with him?"

After a long time, a sigh was heard in the hall, and then it fell into endless silence.

Wu Zhao, who had not rested for three days, could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

After leaving Lizheng Palace, Chu Ning came to the city wall. He wanted to achieve results as soon as possible.

"See His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

On the city wall, Di Ying, who was in charge of the overall situation, immediately came forward and saluted, and the surrounding Great Zhou soldiers also saluted.

After Chu Ning led them to defeat the Yan army, they were already full of admiration.

In just half a month, hundreds of thousands of enemy troops were reduced to ashes. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, it would have been hard for them to believe it.

This also led to Chu Ning having a very high status in their hearts.

People always admire the strong, especially in the military!

Chu Ning smiled and waved to everyone: "No need to be polite, I came here to see whether the pursuing troops have returned, and how the battlefield has been cleaned up."

Di Yinglang laughed and said, "Your Highness the Prince of Chu came at the right time. I just finished counting the results of the battle outside the city.

There were 80,000 Yan troops outside the city, more than 43,000 corpses in the camp, and the remaining 37,000 people fled, but our army pursued them relentlessly and I believe we can wipe out most of them. The specific statistics can only be counted after General Xue and others come back.

In addition, in this battle our army seized countless food and supplies, weapons, armor, and horses. Because of the huge number, they are still being counted.

However, the rebels and the Yan army had a total of more than 100,000 people at the time, and a conservative estimate is that there should be more than a million dan of grain here."

Chu Ning nodded slightly after listening to this: "These Yan troops are really tenacious. If it weren't for the 20,000 people who stayed behind last night to cover the retreat, I would have kept them all in the camp."

As they were talking, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the city. Everyone turned around to talk, and saw a cavalry rushing towards them.

Behind the cavalry are the infantry that cover the sky and the sun!

Di Ying's eyes lit up: "It seems that General Xue and his men are back!"

Soon, the soldiers outside the city returned one after another, and Ran Ming, Xue Huaide, Su Cheng and others also came to the city wall.

"See His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"Generals, there is no need to be so polite. Please tell me about the subsequent pursuit." Chu Ning nodded and smiled.

Xue Huaide looked at Su Cheng and said with a smile, "General Su should speak."

This is a good time to ask for credit, and of course I have to take the opportunity to win over Su Cheng.

Su Cheng understood Xue Huaide's good intentions, and a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes. He immediately said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, our army pursued the enemy for thirty miles and killed all the enemy troops along the way.

After the final count, there were 28,000 enemy bodies, and less than 10,000 escaped. "

After a pause, Su Cheng said with some regret: "Yan Yucheng just escaped. If we can capture him in this battle, it will definitely greatly dampen the morale of the Yan army."

These words made Ran Ming raise his eyebrows and he wanted to speak.

But Chu Ning took the lead and said with a smile: "No way, this battle has achieved such a result. All the generals are tired. The whole army will take a day off and hold a celebration banquet tomorrow!"

"Yes!" Everyone was delighted.

A celebration banquet means rewarding soldiers according to their merits, which is a great honor for them.

For a moment, the whole city of Los Angeles became bustling.

When the people learned that they had won the battle, they took to the streets to celebrate.

The civil servants were busy counting the military achievements and preparing for tomorrow's rewards.

But on the way back to the palace, Ran Ming asked in confusion, "Why didn't your highness let me speak just now?"

Chu Ning glanced at him and said, "Why, do you still want to tell me that I asked you to let Yan Yucheng go on purpose?"

Ran Ming laughed awkwardly: "That's not what I meant. I just don't understand why Your Highness would do this, so I want to ask others to see if they know."

Chu Ning shook his head: "You really suffered from your lack of education. You will understand this in a month."

"A month?"

Ran Ming was stunned: "Why do we have to wait so long? And shouldn't we be at the front by then?"

Chu Ning raised his lips slightly: "Who told you that you are going to the front line? I plan to stay here for a month and satisfy my desire to be the regent."

These words left Ran Ming dumbfounded.

Not going to the front line would be fine, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu actually wants to be regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Is your Highness out of his mind?

Ran Ming touched his head and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, this is the Great Zhou Dynasty, not our Chu State. Did you supervise the wrong country?"

Chu Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know this is the Great Zhou Dynasty. You will understand at the celebration banquet tomorrow."

After saying this, Chu Ning was too lazy to continue talking. He whipped the horse whip in his hand and the warhorse sped towards the palace.

He also had to go back and write a letter to the emperor.

How could such a big thing as postponing going to the front line for a month be hidden from the emperor?
