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

The plight of the Qin cavalry forced Montaigne to stake all his reserve troops!

But Chu Ning did not give up. He ordered three troops to stop the Qin army.

There was naturally no problem with the Chu Army and the Zhou Army. They completely obeyed Chu Ning's orders at this moment.

On the contrary, when Cao Zhang received the order, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

However, he still sent someone to reply to Chu Ning, saying that he would follow the order.

But in fact, he had already sent people to find a way out.

As long as the Chu and Zhou armies could hold back the Qin army, he could lead his troops and escape from here.

By then, Montaigne would definitely concentrate his troops to surround and kill Chu Ning and would not care about him.

He believed that Ying Zheng wanted Chu Ning's life, not his, Cao Zhang's life.

He is ready to take a gamble!

If he wins the bet, he will have a chance of survival.

However, now is not the right time. He wants to wait until the war reaches its most intense stage before withdrawing.

Looking at the battlefield where the two sides were fighting fiercely, Cao Zhang sneered repeatedly.

With such a battle situation, it may take a while to determine the winner, so we can wait a little longer.

But what happened next was far beyond Cao Zhang's expectations.

After sending out all his troops, Montaigne also sent someone to convey a message to Ying Zheng.

At this moment, inside the Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng stood at the entrance of the hall with his hands behind his back, a look of indifference on his face.

Everything has been arranged, and now he just needs to wait for the final answer.

Behind him, Gan Long also looked relaxed.

This series of schemes not only caused the envoys to kill each other, but also sent General Montaigne with an army of 10,000 to finish off the plot.

With such a perfect plan, there was no way anything could go wrong.

At this time, a soldier came to report: "Your Majesty, Chu Ning has integrated the Chu army, and the Wei and Zhou armies are fighting fiercely with our army."

"Our cavalry is entangled by the White Horse Cavalry and cannot escape. In order to win the battle quickly, General Montaigne has sent out all the reserve troops to surround and kill the enemy!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a look of satisfaction appeared on Ying Zheng's face.

"With General Meng in command over there, I feel relieved."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to retreat.

He was not worried about the battle situation on the front line at all. He was just waiting for the news that Chu Ning had been killed.

But at this moment, a Black Ice Stage master wearing black armor came quickly.

The hurried footsteps made Ying Zheng raise his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look.

"Your Majesty, something happened!"

Ying Zheng frowned: "What's the matter?"

What else could happen at this time?

The master of the Black Ice Platform said in a deep voice: "The Han, Jin and Tang Dynasty envoys have lost their whereabouts."

Ying Zheng frowned: "I remember they left yesterday, and at that time I thought their departure would be beneficial to this plan."

"But just in case, I'll send you to keep an eye on them. Why did so many people suddenly disappear?"

The Black Ice Terrace master quickly replied: "Our people have been in contact with us via pigeons, and their answer is that these three troops have been leaving."

"But since this morning, our people have not sent back any news. I then sent someone to check and found that our people had been killed."

"From the current situation, it seems that our people discovered them, and after they took control of the area, they asked our people to deliberately send back false information."

"We have now lost track of these three delegations and have no idea where they are."

As soon as these words came out, Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and a hint of coldness flashed across his face.

What is the purpose of the disappearance of these three troops?

It would be fine if he just disappeared, but why did he have to control the people of Black Ice Platform and deliberately send back false news?

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

Gan Long's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, these three armies disappeared at the same time, there must be some conspiracy."

"The biggest possibility... is to appear over there in the valley and help Chu Ning escape!"

Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold: "Impossible, why would they help Chu Ning?"

"Ji Yinghao of Jin State has a good relationship with Chu Ning. It would be fine if he went to help, but Huo Quji and Li Ping of Tang State have no reason to help Chu Ning!"

If it was just the help from the Jin delegation, Montaigne could have handled it perfectly.

But if the envoys from the Tang and Han dynasties were added, Montaigne would have no way to cope with it.

These three delegations have a total of 3,000 people, plus Chu Ning's 3,000 people, there will be a total of 6,000 people.

It was impossible for Qin's 10,000 soldiers to wipe out these people.

But Ying Zheng didn't believe that Huo Quji and Li Ping would go to support Chu Ning!

After all, this is the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty. If these two people help Chu Ning, won’t they worry about not being able to leave this place?

But Gan Long's face changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is not right, this is not right!"

"If our army openly surrounded and killed the envoys, no matter what the reason, it would make other envoys feel threatened."

"We can surround and kill Chu Ning and others today, and we may also be able to surround and kill Huo Quji and others tomorrow."

"They are all heroes among men. To protect themselves, they naturally have to save Chu Ning."

"It is because they have joined forces that our dynasty does not dare to kill them all. After all, it is impossible for our dynasty to kill them all at the same time and offend all the dynasties!"

"So, they must be heading for the valley. They are going to support Chu Ning!"

"Now that General Montaigne has sent all his reserve troops up, he has no troops around him. If someone attacks from behind, he will definitely be unable to cope!"

As soon as these words came out, Ying Zheng was shocked and made a prompt decision: "Come here, tell General Montaigne about this immediately and ask him to gather his troops!"

"Yes!" The master of the Black Ice Platform responded and immediately went down to pass on the message.

But Ying Zheng was still restless, and his face no longer had the calm look he had at the beginning.

He paced back and forth, and finally his eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "No, I must go and deal with it myself!"

"Order to mobilize 5,000 imperial guards to accompany me!"

Gan Long was shocked and quickly stood in front of Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, you must not do this. If a fight breaks out, you will become the primary target."

But Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "What do you know? If I don't show up, once Huo Quji and the other two take action, Montaigne will not be able to deal with it at all."

After saying this, he pushed Gan Long away and strode out of the palace.

"Ugh!"

Gan Long sighed and followed immediately.

At the same time, on a high peak outside the valley, three people stood side by side.

They were the eldest prince of Jin, Ji Yinghao, the champion marquis of Han, Huo Quji, and the marquis of Tang, Li Ping.

Looking at the two sides fighting in the distance, Huo Quji looked solemn: "I didn't expect Chu Ning to actually block the Qin army's attack!"

Ji Yinghao nodded slightly: "According to the agreement between us and him, if he can stop the Qin army, we can attack from behind and capture the leader of the Qin army at the lowest cost."

Even Li Ping, who usually doesn't like to talk much, nodded and said, "All the Qin army's reserve troops have been deployed. This is our chance to take action."

Huo Quji narrowed his eyes and said, "In that case, let's do it. Remember, we must capture the leader alive!"
