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

Nothing happened that night and the next day came quickly.

The next day.

Zhao Yu was training his troops as usual, and his shouting startled Ran Ming.

Looking at the Liangzhou soldiers training continuously, Ran Ming couldn't help but show interest on his face.

"General Zhao, can you find a few people to practice with me?" Ran Ming winked at Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "General Ran Ming is born with supernatural powers. I'm afraid the people under my command are no match for you. If you want to train them, I'm interested."

Both of them are military generals and have not seen each other for a long time, so naturally they are itching to meet each other.

Ran Ming chuckled and said, "Since General Zhao is interested, of course I will accompany you."

Having said that, Ran Ming turned around and was about to go back to the camp to get his weapons.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the curtain of the general's tent was lifted not far away, and Chu Ning walked out with a letter.

"Ran Ming!"

"Your Highness!" Ran Ming and Zhao Yu immediately stepped forward and bowed.

Chu Ning handed the letter to Ran Ming and said, "Send someone to deliver this victory report to Kyoto at an expedited speed of 800 miles."

"Yes!" Ran Ming's face straightened. He took the good news and did not dare to neglect it. He immediately went down to make arrangements.

But at this time, Zhao Yu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, why don't you bring the news back in person?

If you pass on the victory report now, the court will know that Xiahou Ren was killed by you. Once the news spreads, Xiahou Yan will definitely prepare in advance to deal with you."

If Chu Ning went back to report directly, Xiahou Yan would not have received the news so quickly. By then, no matter what Xiahou Yan wanted to do, they would have discovered it.

But now Chu Ning wants to send the good news back in advance. Isn't this deliberately leaking the news to Xiahou Yan?

Chu Ning looked at Zhao Yu, who was full of worry, and chuckled, "I am going to tell Xiahou Yan about this on purpose!"

Zhao Yu was stunned: "What is the purpose of your Highness doing this?"

Chu Ning looked towards Kyoto City and found that a calm expression appeared on his face: "Of course, I will force Xiahou Yan to take action. As long as this person takes action, I will have a reason to target him."

This time Zhao Yu understood.

For Chu Ning, the hatred for Xiahou Yan's father's murder is irreconcilable. The conflict between the two sides cannot be reconciled, and they can only go to war in the end.

In this case, give Xiahou Yan time to prepare and take action, so that the other party can be prepared in advance and take action when he feels confident.

Wait until then and catch them all in one fell swoop.

"Your Highness is wise!"

Zhao Yu bowed and said, "I was overly worried."

Chu Ning waved his hand and chuckled: "You are also thinking about this king. Well, let's not talk about this matter anymore. Let's talk about the development of Liangzhou in recent times."

Before leaving Da Zhou, he had asked Di Ying to go to Dunhuang County to discuss trade between the two sides.

It's just that he came to Yunzhou to fight and didn't know anything about Dunhuang County. Zhao Yu happened to come, and he wanted to hear about how the trade had developed during this period.

When Zhao Yu heard this, a hint of excitement appeared on his face: "Your Highness, Dunhuang County has developed rapidly in recent times and has become a trading city between our dynasty and the Great Zhou.

As more and more people traded with the Great Zhou through Dunhuang County, people from the entire Liangzhou began to migrate there.

In just over two months, Liangzhou's tax revenue increased fivefold, and as the Great Zhou Dynasty stabilized, more and more facial masks and refined salt were needed.

In time, I believe that Liangzhou’s development will be no worse than Bingzhou!

Not only that, Liangzhou is located in a vast grassland area, and many people are natural cavalrymen. Lord Zhang Xuan is currently recruiting soldiers.

As long as there is enough military pay and food support, the entire Liang Province can support 100,000 soldiers and horses!"

Chu Ning's eyes lit up after hearing this: "In this case, when you go back this time, tell Zhang Xuan to recruit soldiers boldly. Remember, mainly cavalry.

If there is not enough food and military pay, you can transfer some from Bingzhou. If that is still not enough, I can transfer some from the Shen family and the Prince of Chu's Palace.

However, the troops need training, so I will have to trouble General Zhao to handle this matter personally."

Such a good situation must of course be vigorously developed.

Liangzhou and the Great Zhou Dynasty were connected. Now, because of him, the Great Zhou Dynasty naturally would not invade, which gave Liangzhou time and opportunities to develop.

Liangzhou now has an army of 50,000, and is waiting to recruit at full strength after the new year. I believe that the number will soon reach 100,000.

Of course new recruits need training, and Zhao Yu is the most suitable candidate!

"Your Highness, rest assured. I will train the Liangzhou troops into an iron army!" Zhao Yu bowed and signed a military order.

Chu Ning nodded and smiled, "When we return to the capital this time, I will recommend you to the court."

Zhao Yu came from Liangzhou to provide support this time and played a huge role. When the court rewards meritorious service, he will definitely be included.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zhao Yu felt a little excited.

If it weren't for Chu Ning, he wouldn't be where he is today. He made up his mind that he would give Ran Ming a proper explanation and protect Chu Ning's safety when he returned to Beijing.

Xiahou Ren’s death cannot just go on like this, Xiahou Yan will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to take action!

This is what Zhao Yu is most worried about.

Unfortunately, he was not in Kyoto City. He had to go to Liangzhou to train troops, so Chu Ning's safety had to be left to Ran Ming.

Of course Chu Ning didn't know what Zhao Yu was thinking at the moment. He waved his hand to signal Zhao Yu to leave, and sent someone to invite Su Cheng over.

This time I return to Beijing, I don’t know when I will be able to go to Great Zhou again in the future. There are some things I need to explain clearly to the Empress.

Of course, there are some things that cannot be said directly to Su Cheng, so he wrote them in the letter!

Soon, Su Cheng, who received the news, came into the tent.

"See His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"General Su Cheng, there's no need to be so polite. Just sit down and talk." Chu Ning smiled and gestured with his hand.

Although he didn't understand why Chu Ning asked him to come here, Su Cheng didn't dare to sit down without permission.

He waited for Chu Ning to sit down first before he sat down at the seat below.

"I wonder what important matter is that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has asked me to come here for?" Su Cheng asked with a serious face.

Now that the war has ended, Chu Ning came to see him in person, there must be something going on.

Sure enough, Chu Ning smiled and handed over a letter: "This is a letter from this prince to Her Majesty the Empress. Please make sure to hand it to the Empress in person, General Su Cheng."

Su Cheng immediately stood up and took the letter with both hands with a respectful look on his face: "Your Highness, Prince Chu, please rest assured that I will personally hand it over to Her Majesty the Empress!"

Chu Ning nodded slightly: "Of course I trust you, otherwise I would not have given you this letter. When I go back this time, I believe you will also receive the Empress's important letter.

However, you have killed too many people before, which inevitably arouses jealousy. You can suggest to the empress that you be transferred to guard the border.

It just so happens that the border between our Dunhuang County and yours is developing well, but it is inevitable that someone will cause trouble. If you go there, you can not only deter Xiao Xiao, but also avoid the impeachment of the people in Luocheng. "

Su Cheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly saluted: "Thank you, King Chu, for your teachings. I will keep it in mind!"

He knew that Chu Ning was helping him find a way out!

Chu Ning was very satisfied with Su Cheng's attitude, nodded and smiled, "I have already mentioned this matter to the Empress in the letter, you just need to take the initiative to report it, and the Empress will approve it.

Well, there is nothing else to do. Get ready and leave for the trip the day after tomorrow."

"Yes!" Su Cheng responded and turned to leave.

Chu Ning then stood up, looked towards the direction of Kyoto City, and muttered to himself: "Next, it's time to go back!"

He knew that another big drama was waiting for him in Kyoto City!
