Chapter 1183 How cunning!
"Peace talks?"
Two days later, in Feihe City, in the meeting hall.
After receiving the message from the empress, Chu Ning immediately summoned a group of generals.
Xue Huaide, a general of the Zhou Dynasty, looked a little unhappy when he heard this.
They had finally defeated 50,000 Qin troops, and now Qin wants to negotiate peace?
Does this mean that the Qin State is the only one that has the final say in this world?
Xue Huaide clenched his hands and said in a deep voice: "This war was originally caused by Qin's rude military action, and our dynasty was passively defending."
"Now that they have been defeated and suffered heavy casualties, they still want to negotiate peace with our dynasty at this moment. This is simply a foolish dream!"
"As a general of the Zhou Dynasty, I will be the first one to refuse peace talks with the Qin State!"
Upon hearing this, the other generals in the hall immediately echoed: "General Xue is right. If our army can gain the upper hand and trap the 50,000 Qin cavalry on the high mountain slope, we only need to trap them for a few more days and cut off their food supplies before we can attack!"
"Humph, does the Qin State really think that they are the Qin State of the past and that everyone in the world must give in to their desires?"
"Peace talks? Fine, let them cede twenty cities, otherwise we will never negotiate."
"There is no room for bargaining in this matter. We must kill them all and let them know that the Zhou Dynasty is not easy to bully."
The generals were filled with indignation and looked angry. No one wanted to negotiate at this moment.
It was already rude of Qin to initiate the war, and now that it has been defeated it wants to negotiate. How could such a good thing happen in the world?
Chu Ning looked at the angry crowd, a hint of amusement appearing on his face.
This was exactly the result he wanted.
Peace talks are impossible!
He could negotiate with any dynasty except the Qin Dynasty.
Because there is a deep blood feud between him and Ying Zheng!
The death of Princess Changping will be an eternal pain in his heart.
Therefore, he had to destroy the Qin State and let Ying Zheng also taste the heart-wrenching pain.
In order to destroy the Qin State, it is necessary to erode Qin's military strength bit by bit.
He wanted Ying Zheng to live in pain, making his life worse than death.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, a strange look flashed across his eyes, he looked at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"Generals, I know what you mean."
"However, we cannot refuse the peace talks openly, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the Great Zhou."
"I have already replied to the Empress. She can talk to Qin Guo, and even talk for a longer time."
"During this period of peace talks, we can take the opportunity to destroy Li Xing's 50,000 troops!"
The generals were overjoyed when they heard this.
According to Chu Ning, peace talks are peace talks and fighting on the front line are two different things.
No one has stipulated that there can be peace talks later and no fighting on the front line, right?
They cannot kill the envoys from Qin.
But the Qin army on the front line can be killed!
When two countries are at war, they do not kill envoys, but they did not kill the envoys, but the Qin army on the front line.
As long as the peace talks fail, they will fight.
In theory, they have a valid point.
The generals immediately became excited and asked for battle one after another: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Chu, I am willing to lead the army as the vanguard and take the lead!"
"The general will go where he wishes!"
"The general is also willing to go!"
For a moment, everyone's morale was ignited, and everyone wanted to destroy the Qin army and achieve great success.
In the past, their combat effectiveness was inferior to that of the Qin Army, and they did not dare to go to war with the Qin Army easily. Even their morale was far inferior to that of the Qin Army.
But after defeating the Qin army this time, their confidence increased and they felt that the Qin army was nothing special.
Although the Qin army is indeed powerful, it is not invincible!
Chu Ning looked at the excited generals, waved his hand and chuckled, "Generals, don't worry. We need to wait another two days to defeat the Qin army."
"Why is this?" a general asked in confusion.
Chu Ning explained calmly: "It's very simple. According to the Qin army's practice, they all carry a few days' worth of rations."
"Now that their rations have been eaten up, they will definitely send small groups of soldiers out to plunder food in the next few days. Let's eliminate these people one by one first."
"First, it can consume their manpower, second, it can undermine their morale, and third, it will give Her Majesty time to negotiate and make Qin think that we really want to negotiate."
The more the generals listened, the more frightened they became.
At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds: Fortunately, the Zhou Dynasty and the State of Chu were on good terms!
Otherwise, it would be a nightmare to face such a terrible opponent like Chu Ning.
Even Xue Huaide was stunned when he heard this.
Although he knew that Chu Ning was very powerful, he had never thought of such a strategy of killing three birds with one stone.
It’s cloudy. It’s so cloudy!
Fortunately, they are friends, not rivals.
However, he was still a little worried and frowned as he asked, "What if Li Xing chooses to break out directly?"
"They have a lot of cavalry, and if they charge together, I'm afraid our army won't be able to stop them."
But Chu Ning said calmly: "Starting tomorrow, our army will set up traps outside the high mountain slope."
"Remember, we must set up traps in a big way so that the Qin army can see them and know that we have traps, so that they won't dare to charge and break through!"
Xue Huaide's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Chu Ning's intention. He immediately bowed and saluted: "I will go down and arrange it right away!"
With a trap set up, and a trap that the Qin army could see, the Qin cavalry certainly did not dare to charge and break through.
As long as they could keep the Qin army trapped here and wait until they were so hungry that they couldn't even move, they could attack in one fell swoop and completely destroy them here.
The next day, outside the high mountain slope.
Xue Huaide led the Zhou army and set up traps all around with great fanfare.
The Qin army was frightened by the powerful Zhou army, and they thought the Zhou army was going to launch an attack.
Fortunately, after observation, he found that they were just setting up fortifications outside, so he immediately went to the military camp to report.
"General, it's bad, the Zhou army is making a move!" The soldier hurried into the tent, bowed and reported.
Li Xing, who looked haggard, was shocked when he heard this and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Did the enemy attack? Why didn't I hear the horn sound?"
"Not an attack!"
The soldier explained: "The Zhou army set up traps outside our army, apparently trying to stop our army from charging."
Li Xing was shocked and without caring about the soldier, he immediately left the camp and rode to the gate of the camp to check.
Looking around, one could see that at the foot of the mountain, the Zhou army was densely packed everywhere, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The other generals who received the news also rode their horses to the gate of the camp.
Seeing the Zhou army setting traps outside, some generals were so angry that they immediately asked for orders:
"General, we can't let them set traps, otherwise our army won't dare to charge in the future!"
"Yes, General, please give the order. Before the enemy troops have finished their deployment, I will lead the troops to charge!"
"The general will go where he wishes!"
"The general is also willing to go!"
Since it concerns their own life and death, they cannot just watch the Zhou army set a trap.
The best way is to charge with cavalry and destroy the trap while the Zhou army is still setting it.
But Li Xing hesitated when he looked at the indignant generals.
He had a doubt in his mind.
Doesn’t Chu Ning know that the trap he sets at this moment will be destroyed by the troops he sends?
If Chu Ning knew, why did he send troops to set traps?
unless……
This matter itself is a trap!
