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

Chu Ning sent Ran Ming and Su Cheng down to rest, while he went to inspect the arrangements of the Great Zhou's troops.

Although Xiahou Ren was reluctant to let the Zhou army enter the military camp, they helped them capture the Yan army camp after all.

Under such circumstances, Xiahou Ren had no choice but to settle the Zhou troops in the camp.

However, Xiahou Ren played a trick and arranged all the troops of the Great Zhou in the rear camp.

If they attacked, the Zhou army in the rear camp would definitely be the last to come out and would not be able to grab the credit.

If the Yan army launched a surprise attack, they would most likely start from the rear camp. At that time, the only ones who would risk their lives would be the Zhou army.

Chu Ning looked at the Zhou army in the rear camp constantly reorganizing and resting, with no expression of joy or sadness on his face.

He knew very well the purpose of Xiahou Ren placing the Zhou army here.

However, he had just arrived at the Chu army camp, so it was not appropriate to take action against Xiahou Ren immediately.

Even if you want to take action, you need solid evidence, sufficient reasons, and the right opportunity.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou had just fought a fierce battle and were in urgent need of rest. They could not fall out with Xiahou Ren at this moment.

Now all we have to do is make sure Zhou Jun gets a good rest.

After inspecting the situation of the Zhou army, Chu Ning returned to his tent to rest.

And his every move was monitored.

Inside the Chinese army's tent.

General Xiahou Ren narrowed his eyes, held a cup of hot tea, and looked thoughtful.

At this time, a spy came to report: "General, the King of Chu went to the rear camp, inspected for half an hour and then returned to the camp to rest."

Xiahou Ren raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

Why isn't there any investigation into the disclosure of Chu Ning's whereabouts?

Are you feeling unsure?

Or does he think there is no evidence and no conviction?

However, no matter what, it would only benefit Chu Ning and not harm him if he did not investigate the matter of his whereabouts being leaked.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Ren nodded slightly: "I understand. You continue to monitor the King of Chu. If he makes any move, you must inform me immediately!"

"Yes!" the spy responded and turned to leave.

Xiahou Ren looked at the spy's departing back, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He never looked down on Chu Ning.

But Chu Ning's arrangements before coming here and his actions after coming here puzzled him.

Last night's action was clearly aimed at him.

Chu Ning's whereabouts must not have been told to anyone else. He was the only one who knew Chu Ning's whereabouts. From now on, Chu Ning only needs to bring this up and he will not be able to make excuses.

After Chu Ning came here, he did not mention this matter immediately. He must have thought that the time was not right!

If Chu Ning took control of the military power, the first person he would deal with would be him!

Thinking of this, Xiahou Ren's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

If Chu Ning takes the initiative in this matter, he will be helpless.

Although the Chu army in front of him was trained by him, if Chu Ning wanted to capture him by threatening to reveal their whereabouts, no one in the Chu army would dare to stand up.

After all, Chu Ning is a prince, a prince, and a meritorious official with outstanding military achievements!

Any one of these identities is enough to shock the Chu army!

"No, we can't let this happen!"

Xiahou Ren's eyes turned cold, and a ruthless look appeared on his face: "He who strikes first will gain the upper hand, and he who strikes later will suffer. I must find a way to get rid of him first!"

"Come here, summon General Liu, General Zhou, General Zhao, and General Wu!"

The best defense is offense. He cannot allow Chu Ning to gain a foothold here. He must take action before Chu Ning has just arrived here and has won over people's hearts.

However, Chu Ning is a prince after all. If he wants to kill Chu Ning, he definitely cannot do it by himself, and none of the soldiers under him will cooperate.

The best way is to kill with a borrowed knife!

To this end, he summoned his confidants to discuss the matter.

Three quarters of an hour later, four burly generals came into the tent.

"Greetings, General!" The four of them bowed in unison.

Xiahou Ren nodded slightly: "Generals, there is no need to be polite. Sit down and talk."

The four of them didn't understand why Xiahou Ren asked them to come here. They looked at each other and then sat down.

Xiahou Ren was not in a hurry. Instead, he picked up the teacup and drank leisurely.

The four generals were puzzled. One of them, a burly man with a beard, could not help but frowned and asked:

"May I ask what is the important matter that the general has summoned us here for?"

Xiahou Ren glanced at the four people and said calmly, "Generals, what do you think of His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"

As soon as these words came out, the bearded man glared and snorted coldly: "Your Highness the King of Chu is too partial to the soldiers of the Great Zhou!"

Someone spoke up, and someone else immediately echoed: "Yes, if he does this, how can we brothers put our faces aside?"

"That's right, I don't agree with what Your Highness the King of Chu did today!"

"Humph, if the general hadn't stopped me today, I would really like to ask him what his intentions are."

For a moment, everyone expressed their dissatisfaction with Chu Ning.

Xiahou Ren was very satisfied with everyone's performance and nodded immediately, saying, "I never thought that His Royal Highness the King of Chu would be partial to the soldiers of the Great Zhou!

He is obviously the prince of our dynasty, why doesn't he say a few good words for our brothers?

Once such a military achievement is reported, there will definitely be a generous reward!"

Xiahou Ren pretended to be helpless as he said this: "But he is the prince, and he is the one who writes the victory report. I can't do anything about this matter."

What this means is that when he writes the victory report, he will definitely give the credit for burning down the Yan army camp to them.

Anyway, the emperor is far away and the court can't really send anyone to investigate the war situation.

The four generals realized what the general had asked them to do.

"General, why don't you write this victory report?" a general suddenly suggested.

"No!"

Xiahou Ren frowned: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is here, so it is not my turn to write the victory report yet."

What this means is that if Chu Ning was not there, he would be able to write a victory report.

The four of them had been in the army for so long, so of course they understood what Xiahou Ren meant.

Someone immediately stood up and said in a cold voice: "General, the King of Chu doesn't take us seriously, so we don't need to give him face!"

Another person sneered: "When the two armies are at war, the King of Chu cannot remain immune!"

"General, we cannot let the King of Chu do whatever he wants. We must take action!"

"Yes, General. If the King of Chu is here, it will not only be of no benefit to us, but will also affect the morale of our army."

Although the words did not explicitly say that Chu Ning wanted to be eliminated, the meaning was already very clear.

What Xiahou Ren wants is for these four people to express their opinions!

But he did not agree immediately. Instead, he pretended to hesitate. After a moment, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do the four generals really think so?"

The four of them said in unison: "We dare not deceive the general!"

Xiahou Ren's eyes flashed with a fierce look: "Okay, since the four generals are willing to help, I will risk it all for the sake of my brothers!"

"However, he is a prince after all. We cannot attack him openly. We must rely on the power of the Yan army!"

The four of them looked at each other and said in unison: "We are willing to serve you!"

"very good!"

Xiahou Ren sneered and said, "I will write a letter to Yan Yucheng right now!"
