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

Chapter 521 A clear path

"Whether Yan Yucheng will do what I want depends entirely on human nature!"

A playful look appeared on Chu Ning's lips: "This king deliberately let him go in order to let him go to the front line.

The defeated general meets the recognized god of war of Yan State. Do you think they will fight for power and gain? "

It turns out that this was Chu Ning’s purpose.

The reason for not killing Yan Yucheng was just to let Yan Yucheng go to the front line and fight with Le Yi on purpose!

But Wu Zhao still looked worried: "This matter is not as simple as you think. Le Yi is said to be a humble person. In addition, Yan Yucheng is a member of the Yan royal family. He dare not compete with Yan Yucheng for military power."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ning sat down next to her and said with a smile: "This is my purpose!"

Wu Zhao raised her delicate phoenix eyes, and then realized that Chu Ning wanted to get access to Le Yi's military power!

Le Yi, a man who rose from a soldier to his current position through military exploits, relied on his strength.

However, this was not the case with Yan Yucheng, the general. Although he had some military achievements, he still relied on his royal background.

These two people, one is a powerful person, and the other was pushed forward by the royal family in order to gain power.

In terms of the ability to command troops, Le Yi is naturally better.

Chu Ning was probably not sure about how to deal with Le Yi, so he deliberately let him go after defeating Yan Yucheng.

The defeated Yan Yucheng naturally did not dare to return to the State of Yan, as he would definitely be punished and might even lose his position as general.

The only place to go is the front line!

As long as he defeats the Chu army on the front line, Yan Yucheng will be able to atone for his sins.

If anyone were Yan Yucheng, they would have to go to the front line at this time.

This guy Chu Ning is calculating against people to the point of death!

Thinking of this, Wu Zhao raised her lips slightly and smiled: "So that's how it is. This time you have taken the Yan State general and the God of War into account."

Chu Ning laughed: "Commanding a war is not my strong point, but when it comes to sneaking up on people, I am not afraid of anyone."

Wu Zhao rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. Le Yi has come this far not only because of his command ability, but also because of his wisdom.

Even if he didn't dare to compete with Yan Yucheng for military power, he would still give advice from the side, and Yan Yucheng was no fool, and he would definitely give this man some face after taking away Le Yi's military power."

Even if Le Yi was not in charge of the front-line army, if Yan Yucheng made any mistakes in command, Le Yi would be there to correct them.

Chu Ning understood what Wu Zhao meant, nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I have already thought of a countermeasure."

As he was speaking, Wu Xiuning, who was originally sleeping soundly, suddenly burst into tears.

Chu Ning's face changed and he quickly went forward and hugged her.

Unexpectedly, he felt hot all over, and when he looked down, he saw that Wu Xiuning had urinated all over him.

With a twitch of his mouth, Chu Ning immediately shouted outside the hall: "Someone come!"

Two maids came in immediately, one changed Wu Xiuning's clothes, and the other helped Chu Ning take off his clothes and change them.

Wu Zhao looked at him with some amusement: "I never thought that the world-famous King of Chu would be so embarrassed."

Chu Ning shrugged: "Alright, don't laugh at me. You will be in charge of government affairs in half a month. You should take good care of your health."

As she spoke, the maid had already changed Chu Ning into a new set of clothes.

After getting dressed, Chu Ning straightened his face and said in a deep voice, "This time when I go to the front line, I want to bring 20,000 people with me."

Wu Zhao narrowed her eyes slightly, her long eyebrows trembled, and she raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you want to take Su Cheng's 20,000 to the front line?"

Twenty thousand people, there is a reason for this.

We could obviously hire more people, so why only 20,000?

Of course, it’s because Su Cheng only has 20,000 people under his command.

These 20,000 rebels have been following Su Cheng in clearing out the remnants of the rebellion over the past half month and have killed many people.

Now, whenever Su Cheng's name is mentioned, everyone in the city will change color.

At this time, letting Su Cheng take 20,000 people to the front line is the best option.

On the one hand, it can allow Su Cheng to avoid the limelight, and on the other hand, it can allow the 20,000 surrendered soldiers to rest assured.

As long as they win this battle, these 20,000 soldiers will not have to worry about being retaliated against by the imperial court later.

So when Chu Ning said the number 20,000, she already understood everything.

Chu Ning raised her thumbs and laughed: "As expected of Her Majesty the Empress, nothing can be hidden from your discerning eyes. How about it, Her Majesty the Empress, can you release the people?"

Wu Zhao lowered her head and remained silent for a moment, then raised her head and stared at Chu Ning, asking, "How confident are you in this battle?"

Chu Ning shrugged: "No one can be absolutely sure of anything, but the forces of both sides in this battle are almost the same, and my chances of winning will exceed the other side."

This answer made Wu Zhao somewhat dissatisfied.

But now that things have come to this, she knows that she can't stop Chu Ning's decision.

"Okay, I'll leave Su Cheng's 20,000 men to you!"

Wu Zhao said sternly: "But you must promise me to come back alive!"

For some reason, every time Chu Ning said he was going to the front line, she felt a chill in her heart, as if something bad was going to happen.

Chu Ning looked very confident: "Don't worry, you know my abilities best!"

After saying that, he walked out of the palace: "I will go to Su Cheng to discuss this matter now."

Sending troops is no trivial matter and must be prepared in advance.

Wu Zhao looked at Chu Ning's departing back, sighed, and said nothing more.

Half an hour later.

In the side hall.

Su Cheng, who received an invitation from Chu Ning, came to meet the emperor.

"See His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"General Su, there's no need to be so polite. Sit down and talk." Chu Ning stretched out his hand to motion Su Cheng to sit down.

But Su Cheng didn't know Chu Ning's purpose, so he didn't dare to sit down.

"I wonder what important matter has His Royal Highness the King of Chu asked me to come here for?" Su Cheng asked tentatively.

Chu Ning raised his lips slightly: "I have a way to survive, I wonder if General Su wants to hear it?"

Way out?

Su Cheng's face changed drastically. "May I ask Your Highness the King of Chu, have I offended anyone in any way?"

Chu Ning looked at this person deeply and said, "I don't need to say this, I believe you know it yourself."

The corner of Su Cheng's mouth twitched, and a bitter look appeared on his face.

In the past half month, he has killed thousands of people. It is impossible to say that no one in Los Angeles wants to kill him.

"Pfft!"

Su Cheng knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Highness, the King of Chu, please show me a way forward!"

Chu Ning was very satisfied with Su Cheng's performance. He stepped forward to help him up and said calmly, "It was this king who recommended you to wipe out the remnants of the rebellion. Now that you are in trouble, this king cannot ignore it.

Half a month later, I will go to the frontline to fight against the Yan army. This is your chance. If you are willing, you can bring your 20,000 men and go with me!

As long as you win this battle, your prestige in the court will definitely increase a lot, and others will not dare to do anything to you anymore."

After a pause, Chu Ning smiled and said, "Of course, you can also refuse. I will never force you."

Su Cheng's face suddenly turned pale and blue.

If he stayed in Luocheng, many people would want to kill him. Now that Chu Ning is here, those people dare not take action. But once Chu Ning leaves, he will definitely be impeached.

But if you go to the front line, who can guarantee that you can survive on the battlefield?

For a moment, Su Cheng hesitated.

Chu Ning was not in a hurry. He turned around and sat back in the main seat, picked up the teacup and drank leisurely.

He has already given Su Cheng the opportunity!

He believed that with Su Cheng's wisdom, he would definitely make the right choice.
