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

Qin State, Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng, wearing a black dragon robe, stood with his hands behind his back. In the hall stood an old man in his sixties with a head full of white hair.

This person was Baili Xi, the newly appointed Prime Minister of Qin State after Yingzheng received the news of Gan Long's murder.

"Your Majesty, news came from the Black Ice Platform that Chu Ning led 20,000 troops to Yandi."

Baili Xi said in a deep voice: "Now our frontline troops are in place and are advancing in an all-round way. The Chu army in Yandi has adopted a defensive strategy and is retreating step by step.

General Bai Qi did not dare to advance rashly and ordered the entire army to advance steadily and keep each army at a certain distance.

If one of the armies encounters the Chu army, the other armies can immediately come to the rescue. General Bai Qi even wants to use this as bait to lure the Chu army to attack.

However, Feng Anguo does have some skills, and seems to have seen through General Bai Qi's plan, so he has no plans to attack at the moment."

Ying Zheng sneered: "After all, Feng Anguo is a military man who has fought for decades, so he will not be fooled by ordinary tactics.

However, he will definitely fall for the plan I have arranged for him.

Tell Gaine to intercept Chu Ning and kill him if possible. If not, pass the message to Feng Anguo.

When Feng Anguo receives the news, he will definitely send troops to support us. By then, it will be the best time for General Bai Qi to eliminate the Chu army in the wild."

This was the way he arranged for Chu Ning to die. He believed that Chu Ning would fall into the trap step by step as he had planned.

But Baili Xi hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, why are you so sure that Chu Ning will lead his troops to the front alone?

If he goes with the army, our plan will be unsuccessful."

Although Ying Zheng’s plan was good, there was a prerequisite: Chu Ning had to separate from the main force of the Chu army of 20,000 troops.

Otherwise, who could kill Chu Ning when he was protected by 20,000 soldiers?

But Ying Zheng smiled contemptuously when he heard this: "I have been in contact with Chu Ning for so long, how can I not know this person?"

"Besides, I asked General Bai Qi to launch a fierce offensive and create a crisis in order to force Chu Ning to rush over as soon as possible."

"If he were to travel with an army of 20,000, the speed would be too slow. Given his personality, he would definitely lead his personal guards ahead."

Baili Xi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he saluted: "Your Majesty is wise and brave, and has made every possible plan. I bow to you. I will go down and pass the message to the Sword Saint."

The Sword Saint, also known as Gaine by Ying Zheng.

This person is a top-notch master, with assassination skills that are invincible in the world.

Many of the masters of the Black Ice Platform were trained by this person himself!

This person's strength on the battlefield may not be as good as Ran Ming, Zhao Yu, Guan Yun and others, but if it comes to assassination, these three will definitely not be Gaine's opponents.

In order to kill Chu Ning, Ying Zheng used one of his biggest trump cards.

Looking at Baili Xi's departing back, Ying Zheng showed a sneer on his face: "Chun Ning, wait, I have arranged a big show for you."

If this plan succeeds, not only will Chu Ning die, but the hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers will also be wiped out.

In order to kill Chu Ning, he must mobilize the front-line troops and send out the Sword Saint and the Black Ice Platform master.

This matter is absolutely safe.

With such a tight net, he didn't believe Chu Ning could escape.

This time, he wanted to see whether Feng Anguo would send troops to rescue Chu Ning.

Once Feng Anguo sends out troops, Bai Qi can mobilize troops to intercept and kill the main force of Chu halfway.

Once Chu Ning and the main forces of the Chu State are completely eliminated, the remaining Chu troops will no longer be able to defend themselves.

Without a leader, no one could save the State of Chu from defeat.

He is sure to win this round!

With Ying Zheng full of confidence, Baili Xi asked Heibingtai to send a pigeon to deliver a letter to the Sword Saint Gaine.

On this side, Chu Ning, who was on the road, was just as Ying Zheng had expected, preparing to leave the main force and travel light.

The mighty Bingzhou army advanced rapidly along the winding official road.

But Chu Ning summoned Ran Ming and Guan Yun to talk on a hillside by the road.

"I have received news that Bai Qi launched an attack ahead of time. Lord Feng Anguo did not dare to fight on his own and chose to close the formation!"

Chu Ning said in a deep voice: "Now one third of Yan territory has been occupied by the Qin army, and the situation is very unfavorable to our army.

We cannot retreat any further, otherwise the morale of the Qin army will be boosted and they will take control of more cities in Yan.

For this reason, I have decided to lead my personal guards ahead, and the two of you will each bring 10,000 soldiers and horses to follow behind.

Remember, if you are unable to make a decision, immediately have the Royal Guards send a pigeon to ask for my permission."

As soon as these words came out, Guan Yun's face changed slightly: "Your Highness, you only brought your personal guards, isn't that too few? The land of Yan is not peaceful, Your Highness should bring more people with you."

But Chu Ning was firm: "No, too many people will affect the speed, I can just go with my personal guards.

I have General Zhao Yu by my side, and I have a personal guard, so you don’t have to worry about my safety.”

This made Ran Ming pout: "Your Highness, how about letting General Zhao Yu take the troops and I protect you?"

This time when we go to Yan, whoever arrives first will have the chance to go to the battlefield first.

The three of them finally met each other, and they were so angry that they wanted to prove that they were better than each other.

They have even made secret bets to see who can kill more people and who can kill the stronger general in this battle.

Therefore, they all wanted to go to Yan with Chu Ning first.

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yu was immediately unhappy: "General Ran Ming, you can't cheat!"

"We agreed that we would all rely on our own abilities. How could you take the initiative to invite His Highness to take you to Yandi first?"

Ran Ming raised his eyebrows, and said as if it was a matter of course: "Why, only you and His Highness are allowed to go first, but His Majesty and I are not allowed to go?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Guan Yun couldn't help but shake his head: "General Ran Ming, you should listen to His Highness's arrangements. This battle is of great importance, so don't be careless."

After guarding Zhao State for so long, Guan Yun became more cautious.

Chu Ning nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay, the two generals don't have to argue. No matter who goes first or who comes later, I promise you that there will be battles to fight!

The Qin State is no different from other dynasties. It is the strongest country in the world, and the leader is Bai Qi, which makes it even more difficult to deal with. "

After a pause, he straightened his face and said in a deep voice: "Alright, follow the order. I will lead General Zhao Yu and the personal guards to go ahead now!"

"Farewell, Your Highness!" Ran Ming and Guan Yun bowed.

Afterwards, Chu Ning rode his horse and led more than 300 personal soldiers away from the main force, riding quickly towards Yan territory.

They were called the Royal Guards, but in fact they were White Horse Cavalry. They were very fast and they completely distanced themselves from the 20,000 main forces in just one day.

When it was night, Zhao Yu found a good place and ordered his men to set up camp.

That night, everything was quiet and the earth returned to tranquility.

At the foot of the mountain, Chu Ning and others set up camp and are resting.

But at this moment, black figures suddenly appeared in the darkness, and they took advantage of the night to surround the White Horse Cavalry.
