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

On the second day after the wedding night, Chu Ning woke up in high spirits.

Looking at Feng Mulan who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, a smile appeared on his face.

Although Feng Mulan is usually quite fierce, she was very docile last night.

Sure enough, everyone has weaknesses.

And Feng Mulan's weakness is...

Thinking of this, a playful look appeared on Chu Ning's face.

However, thinking of the important things that would happen later, he immediately stood up and dressed himself with a serious face.

Before leaving, he glanced at Feng Mulan again, and seeing that she still had her eyes closed, he couldn't help but chuckle, then turned and left.

As soon as Chu Ning left, Feng Mulan finally opened her eyes.

When Chu Ning was here just now, she didn't know how to face Chu Ning, so she just pretended to sleep.

But now that Chu Ning is gone, she misses him a little.

"This guy is so annoying!"

He cursed with a smile, picked up the quilt, covered his head with it, and continued to sleep.

She stayed up too late last night and her body had just recovered, so her energy had not yet recovered and she needed more rest.

After all, she also knew that the Qin army was approaching and Chu Ning would soon have to go to the front line. If there was a chance, she also wanted to go to the front line to help Chu Ning.

So, she wanted to recover as soon as possible.

At this time, Chu Ning came to the yard and Zhao Yu was waiting outside.

"Is everyone here?"

"Your Highness, everyone has arrived and is in the main hall."

"Let's go!" Chu Ning said and walked quickly towards the hall.

He sent someone to notify everyone yesterday and will hold a meeting in the hall today.

East Palace, Main Hall.

Everyone gathered together and was talking, and Ran Ming's voice was the loudest.

"Your Highness summoned us this time because he wants to go to the front line. I must go with Your Highness this time!"

Guan Yun at the side couldn't help but narrow his eyes and said in a deep voice: "It's been a long time since my sword has drunk human blood!"

Just as the two were talking, the eunuch's voice came from outside the palace: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

Chu Ning walked into the hall with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and everyone bowed and saluted: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Chu Ning nodded slightly and said with a smile: "My Lords, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up."

He glanced around and saw that Guan Yun, Ran Ming, Liu Shouren, Deng Hongwen, Di Wenyao, Jia Yu, Lu Xiuwen, Yun Jianye and others were all present.

Even Zhang Xuan, who was originally stationed in Liangzhou, was there.

This time everyone came back to attend the ceremony of enthroning the crown prince, but they did not expect that because of the incident with Princess Yinping, no one went back, so they all gathered together.

Seeing that everyone was present, Chu Ning said in a clear voice: "I believe that you all should also know the purpose of my summoning you here."

"The Qin army is approaching the front line and has been conducting exploratory attacks in the past two days. The Emperor of Qin has also received news of the deaths of Gan Long and Princess Yinping."

"Next, the Qin army will definitely launch a retaliatory attack, and our army in Yan is small in number and it is difficult to resist the huge Qin army."

"I have already ordered General Han Xing and Lord Feng to fight and retreat, abandon some small towns and defend the important cities."

As soon as these words came out, Di Wenyao frowned: "Your Highness, if this is the case, wouldn't it help boost the prestige of the Qin army?"

Ran Ming also grumbled, "Yes, this will lower the morale of our brothers on the front line. Your Highness, how about letting me lead 20,000 troops to support them?"

When Guan Yun heard someone trying to snatch the opportunity from him, he quickly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I haven't been to the battlefield for a long time. This time, you must let me go with you no matter what."

Chu Ning looked at the two people fighting each other and couldn't help but laugh: "This time, I will fight against Qin's general Bai Qi, and I will naturally use all my strength. You two will go to Yan with me."

After a pause, he said sternly, "Everyone listen up, I will make the following arrangements."

Everyone's faces straightened and they all returned to the train and stood still.

Chu Ning's eyes fell on Di Wenyao and Zhang Xuan, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Di, Master Zhang, you should return to Bingzhou and Liangzhou immediately and be prepared to support food and troops at any time."

"Yes!" They both bowed at the same time.

Then, Chu Ning turned and looked at Liu Shouren, Deng Hongwen, Lu Xiuwen and Yun Jianye.

“Lord Liu, Lord Deng, Lord Lu, Lord Yun, you must stabilize the situation in the court, and no one is allowed to oppose this war.

In addition, the Ministry of Revenue has allocated one million silver coins, which I will take to the front line to reward the troops. "

"Yes!" The four of them accepted the order.

However, Liu Shouren still asked: "May I ask Your Highness, when do you need the silver?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The sooner the better. I will set off whenever you are ready."

"Wei Chen understands!"

Liu Shouren knew that this matter was of great importance, so he bowed and said, "I will go down and arrange it right away."

The fighting situation on the front line is tense, so it would be best if support could be provided quickly from the rear.

They had just conquered the Yan area and had not yet begun to govern it. If it were taken away by the Qin Dynasty, they would surely become the laughing stock of the world.

The State of Chu had no choice but to fight this battle.

Then, Chu Ning looked at Guan Yun and Ran Ming.

"The two generals will each lead 10,000 soldiers and horses and rush to the front line with me. However, General Guan needs to make arrangements for the city defense camp."

Chu Ning said in a deep voice: "I will ask my father to arrange a position for the commander of the city defense camp. Remember to explain this to him."

Guan Yun and Ran Ming stood up at the same time, bowed and said, "I obey your orders!"

Finally, Chu Ning's eyes fell on Jia Yu.

"Master Jia, the safety of the Eastern Palace is now in your hands. In addition, all officials need to be monitored to prevent anyone from being bribed by the Qin State."

Chu Ning said coldly: "If you find someone secretly communicating with the Qin State, arrest him immediately!"

"I obey your order!" Jia Yu was shocked and realized that Chu Ning was serious.

The purpose of using severe punishments during war is to deter others and prevent them from having second thoughts.

Chu Ning made all the arrangements, then stood up and said slowly: "There is no time to lose, everyone, take action immediately and try to set off tomorrow!"

"Yes!" Everyone bowed and dispersed, starting to prepare.

A war is about to break out.

And two quarters of an hour later, the emperor also learned of Chu Ning's decision.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

After listening to Zhao Ming's report, the emperor showed no joy or sadness on his face, but his heart was like thunder and surging waves.

Chu Ning made such a big fuss, he wanted to fight to the death with the 200,000 Qin troops.

But in total, there were only 100,000 soldiers in Yan, some of whom were newly recruited soldiers.

Even if Chu Ning brought 20,000 troops from Kyoto this time, their numbers would still be less than that of the Qin army.

One hundred and twenty thousand versus two hundred thousand, is there really a chance of winning?

The emperor narrowed his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed across his eyes: "Zhao Ming, do you think the prince can win this time?"

"This……"

Zhao Ming's face changed slightly, and he said cautiously: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has always been invincible in battle and conquest, and I believe he will not disappoint Your Majesty this time."

But the emperor sighed and said, "He has only fought against the troops of Zhao, Yan, and Zhou before. Although he won all of them, this time his opponent is Qin."

The opponent is the most powerful country in the world, can Chu Ning really win?

King Chu has no confidence.
